--(BUSINESS WIRE)

      WHAT: "New Kids on the Block" alum Joey McIntyre is slated to
        autograph copies of his newest solo album, "Meet Joe Mac," at
        Sam Goody on Friday, July 13, 2001.

      WHO: Best remembered as one-fifth of the eighties heartthrob group
        New Kids on the Block, Joey McIntyre became one of the biggest
        teen idols of the decade. He was just 13 years old when he
        joined New Kids in 1985, less than three years later the
        group's music topped music charts everywhere. By 1991, the
        group even topped Forbes magazine's list of highest-paid
        entertainers.

          Following the group's demise in 1994, released his first solo
        album titles "Stay the Same" in 1999. Popularity of the
        album's title track of the same name spread quickly and in the
        end, the album and single both went gold.

          McIntyre's latest album, "Meet Joe Mac," has a more organic
        sound than his past work featuring a host of instruments from
        acoustic and electric guitars to symphonic strings and the
        occasional harmonica.

          Most recently, McIntyre was featured in People magazine (6/22
        issue) as one of "America's Top 50 Bachelors." In addition, he
        can be found in the fashion spread of Playboy magazine (July
        issue). McIntyre also will appear on the "Top of the Charts"
        edition of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" which is scheduled
        to air at the end of July.
