One Tree Hill Star, Tyler Hilton, Releases New

Album, TV Single, and Embarks on U.K. Tour

PR Newswire

LOS ANGELES, June 12, 2012

LOS ANGELES

,

June 12, 2012

/PRNewswire/ -- As the hit American television

series, One Tree Hill, comes to an end after nine captivating seasons, Tyler

Hilton, who plays musician 'Chris Keller' on the show, is taking the summer to

focus on his music career, including a new record and a tour throughout the

United Kingdom

with Boyce Avenue.

Hilton's new full-length album, FORGET THE STORM, was recorded in

Los

Angeles

with producer David Hodges (Christina Perri, Kelly Clarkson), and is

available on iTunes now. The album includes the hook driven ballad "Prince of

Nothing Charming," and the blues-inspired "Loaded Gun" (as seen performed

on the Series Finale of One Tree Hill). This marks Hilton's first independent

release since cutting ties with his major label, and as a result, he says this

album is his most authentic piece of work to date.

"

The songs and sounds of FORGET THE STORM came together as a reaction to

the major label system and the heartbreak it kept putting me through

," said

Hilton. "

I left it all behind, started my own label. Without all of the rules and

red tape, I found it easier to write honest rock 'n' roll that is closer to who I am,

and based on the reaction from my fans, it's exactly what they've been waiting

for."

In celebration of the recent Series Finale of "One Tree Hill" in the U.K., Hilton

will release a new TV-version of his song, "Kicking My Heels," which was

recorded live on the set. The bonus single is the acoustic piano rendition, as

seen performed by his character on the show. The song is available to fans

now through

June 19th

as a free download via Twitter in exchange for a "tweet"

about Hilton's new album. Specific instructions can be found at:
