About

Strong piano-driven pop, heartfelt lyrics, and enchanting vocals have fueled the explosive success of indie pop duo A Great Big World. Having met at New York University, Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino collaborated on Axel’s independent solo album, Vaccarino co-writing the entire album with Axel. As support grew, the duo toured with acts such as Five For Fighting, Ingrid Michaelson, and Glee’s Matthew Morrison. In 2012, Axel and Vaccarino officially re-formed as A Great Big World, and through a fan-supported Kickstarter campaign, the duo released a six-track EP. Their music has been featured on The Amazing Race, Good Morning America, MTV, ESPN, and Fox’s hit TV series Glee as a cast performance of “This Is the New Year.” After signing to Epic Records in April 2013, their single “Say Something” was featured on Fox’s dancing reality competition So You Think You Can Dance. After hearing the song, pop star Christina Aguilera reached out to Axel and Vaccarino and a re-recorded duet of “Say Something” was released in November 2013. After the premier live performance on NBC’s The Voice, in which Aguilera is a celebrity coach, “Say Something” debuted on Billboard’s Hot 100 and skyrocketed to No. 1 on the iTunes chart. Ticket buyers have flocked to A Great Big World’s concerts with fans praising their whimsical twist on pop music and sincere camaraderie between the duo. Their full-length album Is There Anybody Out There is scheduled for release in January 2014.

    A Great Big World!

    by bananagram on 2/7/14The Sinclair - Cambridge

    This show was amazing! They had an incredible opener to start the show. Ian and Chad in A Great Big World are so down to earth and you can tell that they are truly grateful to have sprung up on the charts so quickly. I have been following them since 2010 and it was great to finally see them in concert! The Sinclair was a perfect location - small and intimate without being too crowded!

    A Great Big World - Amazing Performance

    by serber on 2/7/14A and R Music Bar - Columbus

    A Great Big World put on such an amazing show. All they need is a piano and a trumpet to blow the crowd away. Their vocals are just as good live are they are recorded.. That's rare these days. I was surprised they played at such a small venue but it was definitely a treat knowing that this will probably be the only time we'll be able to see them in such an intimate setting.

    Despite starting late this show was worth every penny. They played their whole album "Is There Anybody Out There?" and every song was spot on. Even if you only know a song or two I would still definitely recommend this. They were great performers, and having listened to their album many times prior to the show I can say that I liked them in person even better.

    A Great Gig World was AWESOME!

    by Anonymous on 1/22/14Tralf - Buffalo

    I saw A Great Big World at the Tralf in Buffalo and it was an AWESOME concert. The Tralf is a small venue, so I was right in front of the guys as they played. Each song was spectacular and they even performed a song on the floor surrounded by the crowd.

    A Great Big World has it!

    by Anonymous on 1/21/14Tralf - Buffalo

    I very much enjoyed both A Great Big World as well as Secret Someones. They were fun bands to listen to and had alot of energy. The lead singer of AGBW came out onto the floor for one song that felt very intimate and real. I spoke with all of the band members of both after the show and they were awesome
