Phoenix-Based Band Jared & The Mill Visit The Marvel Experience

Local Phoenix indie folk performers Jared & The Mill attended The Marvel Experience at Salt River Fields on Monday night and enjoyed their experience so much that they are returning to visit and perform outside the show on Friday night, January 2nd at 6:00pm. The street performance magic of Jared & The Mill has been seen across the country; last year they were in Texas for SXSW and were featured throughout the Austin community. Jared & The Mill received national media recognition earlier this year when, while in Austin, they did a special performance for a victim of a hit and run accident who couldn't attend their showcase; so they performed in her hospital room (http://time.com/27462/injured-sxsw-fan-treated-to-private-hospital-room-show).

The Marvel Experience is previewing its first-of-its-kind, hyper-reality attraction to positive local media reviews of the show that spans three acres, encompasses seven colossal Domes and features the world's only 360-degree, 3-D stereoscopic full-Dome attraction which guests enter through a life-size Avengers Quinjet. Along with the aforementioned, there is a thrilling, state-of-the-art motion ride and an interactive "training center" that offers the opportunity for Marvel fans of all ages to actually become "part of the experience."

"It was incredible being exposed to the Marvel Universe in such a tangible way. I've been a fan of the comics my whole life and to experience those heroes at such a real level was bliss for my inner child," says Jared & The Mill lead singer Jared Kolesar.

Jared & The Mill is in the process of recording a new EP (Life We Chose) with Tony Berg. It will be released on April 7th followed by non-stop touring all throughout next year.

The show itself creates a "hyper-reality" experience when, as agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in training, guests of The Marvel Experience swing with Spider-Man, smash with Hulk, fly with Iron Man and more, all in preparation for an epic battle alongside Marvel's biggest Super Heroes in a fight against Red Skull, M.O.D.O.K. and an army of evil Adaptoids. The Marvel Experience incorporates next-generation interactive technology including augmented reality, multi-person gaming and other "training features" so you can see yourself in action. Everything happens with bleeding-edge technology and advanced computer animation. There's nothing else like it. Not only does the audience get to join the adventure, in the end they may even become heroes themselves.

Tickets for The Marvel Experience are available exclusively through Ticketmaster, a division of Live Nation Entertainment (www.ticketmaster.com).
