New York Yankees All-Star, Nick Swisher to Release Kids Album

“Believe” to Benefit Swish’s Wishes hits home on August 9th

New York (August 2nd)- World Series Champion and Major League Baseball All-
Star Nick Swisher of the New York Yankees will be adding one more credit to
his professional resume – recording artist. On August 9th, Swisher will release
his first full-length, twelve song kids CD entitled “Believe” through digital outlets.
A portion of the proceeds will be going to Swish’s Wishes, Nick’s charitable
foundation which is dedicated to enriching lives and lifting the spirits of children
who are facing vital health issues.

“I had an absolute blast working on this project, but I couldn’t have done it
without having a true pro as my producer, Loren Harriet,” said Swisher.  “I have
a tremendous amount of respect for all of the talented artists and musicians that
performed on this album, but most of all I want to thank the kids.  They sound
amazing and I’m honored just to have been given this opportunity.”

On “Believe,” Swisher is joined in the recording studio by an all-star band
of musicians including drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, Melissa
Etheridge), bassist Leland Sklar (James Taylor, Phil Collins), guitarist Tim Pierce
(Goo Goo Dolls, Michael Jackson) and keyboardist Matt Rollings (Tim McGraw,
Lyle Lovett). Special musical guests playing guitar on the album include former
New York Yankee and Latin GRAMMY Nominee, Bernie Williams and San
Francisco Giants pitcher, Barry Zito. Also accompanying Nick on the album
is a group of talented kids ages eight to thirteen years old who sing backup
vocals on each song. Included are kids from the nationally acclaimed music
education franchise, “School Of Rock” as well as thirteen-year-old Natalie Prieb,
granddaughter of Major League Baseball Commissioner, Bud Selig.

Believe was produced by Loren Harriet, who also helmed Bernie Williams’ two
critically acclaimed albums.

From Tom Petty and Bill Withers to the Beatles and Three Dog Night, Swisher
brings his fun and energetic personality and voice to some of the most
popular and most recognized songs in music. Selecting all the repertoire
himself, Swisher’s song list includes the David Bowie classic “Heroes”, John
Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads”, a tribute to Nick’s hometown of

Parkersburg, West Virginia and “Hang On Sloopy”, a shout out to Swish’s alma
mater, the Ohio State University.
