The Shadowboxers’ Winter Road Trip

Pollstar chatted with The Shadowboxers’ founding members – Scott Schwartz, Matt Lipkins and Adam Hoffman – last year and asked how the band caught Justin Timberlake’s attention.

“We don’t know! All we know is he saw a cover of ours [“Pusher Love Girl”] on YouTube that we did for a cover series that we did last July. It was not even a week after we posted it, he retweeted it with a really sweet comment,” Lipkins said.

Hoffman added, “It’s one of those things where you cover one of your favorite artists and you send it to them on Twitter, but you don’t think they’ll actually see it. And we’re not sure if that’s how he saw it or someone showed it to him, but he reached out to us afterward. It was a Christmas morning kind of moment. We were all together in Nashville and just lost our minds.”

The Shadowboxers, which is now signed to Timberlake’s Villa 40 artist development company, is working with PledgeMusic to offer fans awesome VIP experiences on the tour. $70 will get you a general admission ticket to a show, a meet & greet and private song with The Shadowboxers, a photo with the band, six buttons and a signed tour poster.

If you can’t make it to the tour you can still get a souvenir by signing up to receive postcards sent and signed by the band for $20. Other PledgeMusic options include a button set, a disposable camera with photos from the road, or a signed poster. Every purchase comes with a download of the new song “Build The Beat.”
