"Seattle Skies is the greatest song about loss since Boyz II Men & Mariah Carey shot One Sweet Day into the Stratosphere." -Kevin Schaffer (Billboard Magazine) Meet Dan Reder, John James, Josh Wells, Nick Stiens & Travis Hartman collectively known as Close To Home. Cincinnati, Ohio based “Close To Home” has come from humble beginnings to become one of the most recognized independent rock bands in the Country. Close To Home’s official website (www.CTHRock.com) has enjoyed nearly 11 Million unique profile views in 2008 thus far, and is in the process of switching to a new server due to such high volume. They have played sold-out shows with 30 Seconds To Mars, Saosin, Made Avail, The Used, Silverstein, Mayday Parade, Papa Roach & many more. Close To Home first attracted National attention in 2005 when Erwin Musper took notice of the band, offering to mix and master their debut album Picture Perfect. Musper has been featured on nearly 100 Million albums by artists such as Def Leppard, Chicago, Bon Jovi, Mick Jagger and Elton John. Picture Perfect sold out in the first two weeks and is currently in its 6th pressing. While on their first National Tour, in March 2006, bassist Bradly Andress came down with what was thought to be a bad cold. During a tour stop in Seattle, Washington, Brad stopped into an Emergency Room to get checked out and it was discovered that he had a huge tumor on his left lung. The rest of the band immediately gathered any cash they had left from the tour to fly Brad home and made the drive cross country to be with him. The rest of the tour was canceled. Brad tragically lost his battle with cancer on October 6th, 2006. He was only 20 years old. In December 2006, a tribute-album entitled Legends Live On was released to honor the bands fallen friend with the promise to never let his dream die. Brad’s always said “There’s Nowhere To Go But Up, From Here.” Close To Home lives by that motto everyday. In October 2007, Close To Home teamed up with Hard Rock Café, Sexy Hair Concepts & Retroduck.com Clothing to help promote cancer awareness, and raise money for eradication. “Rocktober” is an international, month-long event, hosted by Hard Rock Café and has featured some of the biggest artists in the entertainment world. Tour stops included Detroit, Louisville, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Indianapolis and more. More than $1,250,000 has been raised during these events to date. Close To Home has been featured the past three years on “Van's Warped Tour” and played the 2007 “Taste of Chaos” tour in front of over 10,000 people. Close To Home has teamed up with the world-famous NADA studios in New York for their new record. The album "Standby" was produced by Close To Home, John Naclerio & Zachary Jaydon in December 2007 with an international release set for April 29th, 2008. Naclerio’s credits include My Chemical Romance, Brand New, The Ataris, Just Surrender, Matchbook Romance & Senses Fail. Jaydon's credits include Justin Timberlake, Ryan Cabrera & Craig David.
