Breaking Benjamin frontman Ben Burnley has been selling out electric and acoustic shows all over the country, particularly in Northeastern Pennsylvania, so expect a packed store on Friday, June 26 when the singer/songwriter appears for a record release signing at the Gallery of Sound in Wilkes-Barre.

This will be his first meet and greet in his hometown in years, scheduled just three days after his band’s long-awaited new album, “Dark Before Dawn,” is released to the public. Those who purchase the CD or LP at any Gallery of Sound location starting this Tuesday will receive a wristband for priority entry to meet Burnley at the Wilkes-Barre store (186 Mundy St.) on June 26, starting at 6 p.m. Wristbands are limited for the all-ages event, and free posters will be distributed while supplies last.

Copies can also be reserved now at the Wilkes-Barre, Dickson City, and Hazleton locations.

The album is streaming now on iTunes, and the cover and full track list are below:
