Rolling Stone Recognizes The Young Americans for its place in American Pop Culture

CORONA, Calif., April 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Rolling Stone article written by David Browne positioned The Young Americans as one of this country's premiere and most enduring performing organizations. The article is more than just an inside look at the organization and its history but is an account of how The Young Americans has been a prism of American culture and music since 1962.

David Browne first reached out regarding this piece in September 2018. The research he has undertaken has allowed him to bring to light the credibility and significant role The Young Americans has had in music and performing arts. While music and culture continue to intertwine, transect, transform and progress, an organization such as The Young Americans has been true to its mission and remained relevant for nearly 60 years.

"To have The Young Americans understood and its contribution to music be recognized by Rolling Stone is an honor, but more importantly, we are appreciative of the recognition of our history. While our story may have gotten lost, The Young Americans never was. The Young Americans has been a prism of American culture and music for nearly 60 years. As illustrated in the article, The Young Americans has often been imitated but never duplicated," said, Steven Haines, CEO, The Young Americans.

In the coming summer months, The Young Americans can be seen performing in Japan, Europe, and multiple locations throughout the United States. The Young Americans College of the Performing Arts is accepting auditions and applications for those looking to join The Young Americans and become part of the legacy.
