Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter P.J. Pacifico is set to release his new, eagerly awaited sophomore effort, "Always & Everywhere", in stores and online July 14th. Filled with P.J.’s trademark brand of warm, inviting, hook-filled songs, the themes of "Always & Everywhere" take in everything from love and survival to redemption and recovery.

Following the success of his 2005 solo debut (the haunting "Well I’ll Be"), P.J. took to the road for a series of solo and full band dates; both as a headliner and as an opening act for several certified legends. The "Almost There-EP" and the forthcoming "Always & Everywhere" were written and recorded in between those dates, and the resulting material was subsequently, repeatedly road-tested. Doing so has given these new songs and performances tangible, considerable depth. The 14 track album of new material is entirely self-penned, with three exceptions. First, a cover of "This Street," a song by '80s NYC-area indie legends, The Tracks, written by Steve Ferentzy (co-producer of "Well I’ll Be"). Next, "I Can't Say No"; a song written by P.J.'s best friend, Craig Newman. And lastly, an acoustic, ukulele based cover of The Beatles', "I Want To Hold Your Hand".

With the exception of the track "The Answer," all but one of the six songs that comprise the "Almost There-EP" will be released on "Almost & Everywhere." The leadoff single, "Jackbone," features an appearance by The Samples' Sean Kelly on background vocals, and will be serviced to AAA/Americana radio. P.J.'s sound has been described as "a jam session between James Taylor, Matthew Sweet and Jason Mraz," with some classic rock influences thrown in for good measure. His songs feel immediately familiar and comfortable; straight from the heart and sure to get stuck in your head.

Press Release:    Here's what they're saying so far

"His hooks don't miss and his voice contains an everyman warmth...following in the footsteps of John Mayer and Stephen Kellogg..." Stamford Advocate

"Pacifico has a clean, easy style, and an understated band to match." Fairfield County Weekly

"I dig his voice and the personal nature of his songs....very cool." ~ Edwin McCain

"Peej’s Almost There EP is every bit as breezy, West Coast as his surname. 'The Answer' carries a Jayhawks ring, while the resigned 'Jackbone' recalls rock-bottom James Taylor on a sunnier day." ~ Illinois Entertainer

"...heartfelt lyrics delivered with smooth vocals...Pacifico delivers well crafted songs dripping with sincerity. This 6 song EP will tie fans over until his forthcoming second album is released next year." ~ Matt Kott, Beyond Race Magazine

"...impressive instrumental technique and a finely-honed pop sensibility, that's fused with the slightly C&W, sensitive singer/songwriter." ~ Connect Savannah

"When we heard him sing – an incredibly inspiring and soulful voice – we knew we had the right guy." ~ Ken Hays, Executive Director of Gathering of the Vibes

"His hooks don't miss and his voice contains an everyman warmth...following in the footsteps of John Mayer and Stephen Kellogg..." ~ Stamford Advocate

"Pacifico has a clean, easy style, and an understated band to match." ~ Fairfield County Weekly
