NEW YORK (July 30, 2008) — Stephenie Meyer fans who are unable to attend the beloved author’s sold-out four-city Breaking Dawn Concert Series tour will be able to enjoy the events from the comfort of their own home via Entertainment Weekly’s EW.com.

The Breaking Dawn Concert Series will include a Q&A and autograph session as well as a special musical performance by one of Meyer’s inspirations, Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October. This special concert series will kick off at the Nokia Theatre on August 1 in New York City and continue onto Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle. EW.com will live stream the August 1 New York event at 7:00 p.m EDT and the August 7 Los Angeles event at Royce Hall at 8:00pm PDT. iClips.net is providing the content, and producing the live video for these events via the iClips.net live streaming video platform.
"I am thrilled that my fans from all over the world will be able to be part of the Breaking Dawn Concert Series" says Stephenie Meyer. "Having these events broadcast online lets everybody experience these special events."
"EW.com users are obsessed with Stephenie Meyer, and we’re happy to feed the addiction," says Cyndi Stivers, managing editor of EW.com. "We’re delighted that Stephenie is allowing us to provide the front-row seat for these concerts."
"iClips.net could not be any more excited about producing the live video for these events and streaming them live to the world with such a great partner like EW.com."
