Tony nominated Broadway rocker and original Rent star Adam Pascal will release his latest album "Blinding Light" in September.
A collaboration with singer-songwriter Larry Edoff, "Blinding Light" marks the first album from Me and Larry, the band founded by Pascal and Edoff. The duo were inspired to pen the album following their sold-out 2006 concert tour.
All songs on the 12-track disc are penned by Pascal and Edoff who will begin a U.S. concert tour to promote "Blinding Light" this September.
Rent enthusiasts take note: original Rent cast member Daphne Rubin-Vega duets with Pascal on the album's fourth track, "Call Your Bluff."
Fans are currently able to exclusively download the album by visiting the official Me and Larry website at MeandLarry.com. "Blinding Light" will be released in stores Sept. 9.
"Blinding Light" is described as "an exhilarating collection of songwriting matched with the passionate, fiery musicianship that trademark both Pascal and Edoff's solo albums. Broadway star Adam Pascal and songwriter Larry Edoff combine Pascal’s unmatched vocal range — from aching and suave to raw and explosive — with Edoff's flawless musicianship and vast musical vocabulary where jazz and rock meet touches of world music twinged with classical. The result is an album of unsurpassed stylistic range and lyrical depth that carries the alternative-rock genre to new creative heights."

"Single Drop of You"
"Don’t Lie"
"Turn the Lights On"
