| Jody Whitesides: New Single Release ‘Hero Unexpected’ 'Hero Unexpected' is the new single from Alternative Pop/Rock Artist Jody Whitesides, released in North America, Friday, July 3rd. Co-produced by Juno Award-winning George Leger III and mastered by Grammy -winning Gavin Lurssen, 'Hero Unexpected' is Whitesides' first release after his highly acclaimed solo album Practical Insanity. The Los Angeles-based musician, who was the first non-signed artist for sale on iTunes through CD Baby, created another hook-laden Alternative Rock release that appeals to indie, folk, and pop fans alike. On 'Hero Unexpected', Whitesides has combined the smarts of John Mayer with the boldness of Lenny Kravitz and mixed it with the cleverness of Maroon 5. This premium blend of sounds, termed as Modern Retro Rock, is complemented by Whitesides' distinctive soulful voice, making 'Hero Unexpected' the perfect feel good summer song of the year. The single is available via www.jodywhitesides.com as well as on iTunes, Amazon, and other online music stores. Whitesides' previous album release 'Practical Insanity' led to successful touring in the United States as well as winning Music Video of the Year with his song 'Falling In'. With his new single release, Whitesides continues his thriving music career. "I wrote the song after watching 'Heroes' having been inspired by the character of Peter Petrelli, " says Whitesides about what moved him to write 'Hero Unexpected'. "I hope that my song will inspire listeners to be heroic in their own way." Jody Whitesides is a Los Angeles-based performing songwriter and musician.
