Hey Monday with special guests This Providence, The Friday Night Boys, Stereo Skyline and The Bigger Lights.

If every Monday were as invigorating and infectious as Hey Monday, there'd be no reason to look forward to weekends.

"We liked the name Hey Monday because it's very contradicting," says Cassadee, the band's firecracker of a frontwoman with spunk to spare and an enthusiasm as disarming as it is endearing. "Most people don't really say they're happy about a Monday, they view it like it's the first day of the rest of their week, but Monday can also just be a new beginning..."

Barely out of high school, Cassadee's new beginning is a dream come true. Discovered at a regional music conference where the teenage siren would sing for anyone willing to listen, she attracted the attention of record label scouts at a time when most of her friends weren't even old enough to drive. Less than two years later she's preparing for the release of her band's first album,  Hold On Tight, a joint venture between Columbia Records and Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz's Decaydance Records. Produced by S*A*M and Sluggo [The Academy Is, Gym Class Heroes, Metro Station], the album is a free-spirited spin through life's post-adolescent twists, turns, trials and triumphs.
