Caleb Lovely:
From birth it was clear music would be a huge part of Caleb's life. He grew up in a musical household, both of his parents were singers who met while performing with Tops In Blue in the Air Force. His father later became a back up singer for Natalie Cole. But singing wasn't enough for Caleb, not after he saw a Gibson Les Paul Gold Top being played magnificently in a music video. He knew at that moment that he was destined to be a guitar player and share his songs with the world. The next day was Caleb's 12th birthday and there among his other presents was a gift from his father...his first electric guitar.
Caleb quickly began to teach himself how to play guitar and spent his high school years in Pittsburgh dedicated to becoming a better player, writing songs and learning to play bass, drums and piano. After graduation he focussed on music full time, playing live shows as an acoustic solo act and with his trio that he formed with high school friend Cameron Marburger on bass. They quickly developed a strong fan base and began headlining regularly around the Pittsburgh area and at other venues in the region. They've also opened for artists like Marc Broussard, Edwin McCain, Dashboard Confessional, Tyrone Wells, Rooney and Hanson. In spring of 2009 Caleb was enlisted to tour the nation as guitarist for the band Rookie of the Year. Six months later, he won a Pittsburgh Singer/Songwriter performance competition that lasted 16 weeks, winning a check for 3,000 dollars, and creating a major buzz throughout the city.
During the 2010 summer Caleb was invited to play acoustic solo shows on the Vans Warped Tour. While on tour he was writing new songs that would be included on his solo E.P. a few months later. He also released official music videos for two songs from the E.P. "Stay" and "Call Me" with each garnering over 65,000 views on his YouTube channel. The videos on his channel have been viewed over 975,000 times already and have led to Caleb developing a national and international fan base with fans as far away as Australia.
In April 2011 Caleb, Cam and new drummer Pete Wilson enterered the recording studio with producer Rick Beato (Need to Breathe, Shinedown) to begin work on new songs that will become the band's first full length release.
Dom Liberati:
Dom Liberati delivers bass driven anthem rock with an earnest, aggressive and fresh approach. His infectious, stadium-sized hooks are reinforced by sharp, jangly guitars and pocket-heavy grooves. The former Academic All American Quarterback with small town charm, good looks and sensitive worldview maintains his uniqueness as a stand out bassist with unparalleled stage presence and an unforgettable, Midwestern-flared rock voice.
Combining the pop sensibility of The Police and Jimmy Eat World, the raw grit of Foo Fighters and Kings of Leon, the hopeful yet confessional lyricism of Switchfoot and the anthemic energy of Bruce Springsteen, Liberati's unique soundscape pays homage to some of his biggest influences.
Born and raised in southeastern Ohio, the scholar athlete received his first bass guitar at age 12. He spent his teenage years juggling his Friday Night Lights-esque small town upbringing with his drive for performing, songwriting and developing his musicianship. In 2007, Dom established Live & Loud Productions, on which he released his first album Humans. Liberati wrote, produced and mixed the entire album. In 2009 he released The Frailty EP featuring sparsely arranged new tunes and acoustic renditions of select Humans tracks.
In late 2009, Dom relocated to Los Angeles and his original song "Love Holds It Down" appeared on the hugely successful Guitar Hero franchise (Guitar Hero 5, Band Hero). He spent the next two years writing, performing and facing self-exploration from which his second album was born.
Liberati's 2011 release The Good Hurt delivered an accomplished collection of songs about life, love and the struggle to make sense of them both. Produced entirely by Liberati, the album was mastered at famed Capitol Records and featured collaborations with co-producers The Daylights and Grammy nominated producer Michael Linney (Ke$ha, Jordan Knight, Jason Derulo).
In late 2011, Dom's first official music video was released and "We Own The Night" went on to win two Los Angeles Movie Awards. The video received "Best Editing" and "The Award of Excellence" and continues to gain YouTube views.
Liberati's creative collaborations run across the board. He has written and recorded with Grammy winning songwriter Sunny Hilden (Sting, Ray Charles, David Archuleta), former UMG session guitarist Tony Solis (John Legend, Don Henley, An Endless Sporadic) and the Tiesto-favored DJ Fei-Fei.
Dom Liberati currently lives in Los Angeles and can be found frequently performing with his self-assembled custom basses at iconic music venues such as The Hotel Cafe, Viper Room, House of Blues on Sunset Strip, and The Roxy. show less
