Jason Forbach, currently touring the nation in the 25th Anniversary of LES MISERABLES as Enjolras, releases his new, original single titled "Revolutionary" available today. This song written by Forbach and writing partner Wesley King, "Revolutionary" taps into Forbach's experience on the barricades, creating an inspired song about self empowerment through music. The single is also accompanied by a folk rendition of "Bring Him Home" from "LES MISERABLES." This recording marks Forbach's third solo recording following "A New Leading" and "Remembering To Dream" all available on iTunes and other online retailers.

"Forbach has the voice, looks and passionate moves of a leading man." - Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. His performances have been noted as "having charisma in spades" - Washington Post, and a "commanding tenor" - Kansas City Star, that is both "captivating and haunting. It's artistry that you will never forget." - San Francisco Examiner.

"As a revolutionary on stage every night, "Forbach said, "I wanted to play with the word 'revolutionary' and what it means. On a more personal level, what inspires me and ignites change within me is music. Music has saved my life; it has always been there for me. And as I've traveled the country and met truly remarkable fans of Les Miserables, I know I'm not alone in this respect. This show means so much to so many people and has pulled them through some dark times, and this song speaks directly to that changing power that music has over the soul."

Fellow songwriter, Wesley King says, "I was so honored when Jason found my music on YouTube and wanted to collaborate. I'm very proud of the product that came as a result of that partnership. The title "Revolutionary" spoke to me. Music can be such a motivation to the downtrodden and a crutch to those who need to be healed."

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the music education charity, Ear Candy, which repairs and provides musical instruments to public school music programs where music education is severely underfunded, impacting over 15,000 youth a year through community driven programs and instrument drives.
