“Far From Here”
We have been an established band in the New Haven area since 2002, and have played with many bands; such as Blue Oyster Cult, The Marshall Tucker Band, Seven Mary Three, Steadman, Fighting Gravity, Zen Tricksters and many of the well-known tribute bands. We play original music and a few covers.
Our style consists of mainly rock with many other music styles including funk, pop, and jazz. Some of our influences include the Beatles, Stones, Allman Bros., Steely Dan, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Doobie Bros., Police, Black Crowes, Blind Melon, Blues Traveler, Hatters, Chili Peppers, and a few modern artists.

We are looking for a singer who is experienced, has stage presence, and can deliver a positive performance. Someone 21 or older; and is able to write vocal melodies; songwriting is a plus.
On a personal level: someone that is group oriented, easy to get along with, motivated, creative, has a passion for life and music, can compromise, and is RELIABLE.

We practice 1 to 2 times a week, and we are looking to gig 2 to 3 times a month, and see where things go from there. We have rehearsal space in Wallingford, a good PA, and excellent recording gear.

Places we have played and accomplishments:
• The 2007 Connecticut winner of the Emergenza Festival: http://www.emergenza.net/
• Milford Oyster Festival in 2003 with The Marshall Tucker Band
• Toad’s Place, The Webster Theatre, Up on The Rocks, Jerky’s (Providence), The Alchemy.
• Our songs have been played on 99.1 WPLR
• We are played regularly on many internet radio sites along with several college stations.
