The completely unsigned solo project of 24 year old Dallas, Texas native Brad Skistimas returns with the new album “Brighter Side.” After selling over 100,000 digital downloads without a record label, having every single song from the last album placed on various popular television programs, and touring 43 of the 50 states in 2007 alone, one can only wonder what Five Times August will accomplish next!
