Chicago’s DIY music maverick and proud nerd is back With 12 new tracks.
CHICAGO, IL–November 15, 2024 – The wait is over for fans of Sarantos, as the multi-talented singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and self-proclaimed “proud nerd” releases his highly anticipated 21st album, Rain Guitar. Available on MTS Records, with global distribution by Virgin/Universal, this album showcases Sarantos’ unique brand of emotionally charged, genre-blending music.
Sarantos has become an international sensation, carving his own path with an unapologetically DIY approach to music. Known for his distinctive sound that melds ‘80s rock, modern pop, and deeply personal storytelling, Sarantos has claimed multiple #1 spots on iTunes and Spotify charts worldwide, including the UK and South Africa, even reaching #1 on Spotify in Iceland.
For 12 years, Sarantos has dedicated himself to a relentless release schedule, putting out a new song, lyric video, music video, book chapter, and poem every month since 2014. With over 270 original songs and 11 books, he’s captivated listeners with music that speaks to the misunderstood and those who don’t quite fit in. “I want my songs to reach those who need them most—people who crave something genuine in a world that often feels synthetic,” Sarantos says.
Every November, Sarantos delivers an album that adds to his vast body of work, making “Rain Guitar” his latest contribution to this tradition. The album includes tracks like “NEVER Trust A Happy Song,” the title song, and “God Doesn’t Make Mistakes,” with themes of resilience, love, and self-discovery woven throughout.
Through The Songwriters Show, his #1-ranked radio show on 101.9 Reality Radio, Sarantos offers independent artists a chance to shine. Syndicated on over 60 platforms, the show reaches listeners in all 206 countries, underscoring Sarantos’ mission to bring music and stories to a global audience.
Sarantos has faced a myriad of personal challenges, including the loss of his father and ongoing health struggles. Through it all, he channels his experiences into art that resonates with listeners facing their own battles. A portion of his proceeds goes to charities like the American Cancer Society and St. Jude’s, as chosen by his fans each month.
