Rock
It began…
Carter
met Josh at guitar lessons in 1997. Although
they didn’t know it then this would spark their
musical careers together, and eventually the formation
of CFR.
Chesterfield
Rock was formed in the spring of 2003 to play
at their grade 9 graduation. Founded by
lead singer/guitar player Josh Giambattista and
piano player Carter Kolbeck in music class, the
band was later joined by Shawn Ritco on drums
and Aaron Coons on bass guitar.
The
first paid gig was at Sparky’s in October 2004.
Followed by a performance at ‘Unite the Scene:
The Young Guns’, plus competing in and winning
both ‘The Last Band Standing‘ competition sponsored
by Supernova and the Saskatchewan ‘Extreme Band
Slam’ in January 2005.
The
band opened for Wide Mouth Mason at the Casino
Regina Show Lounge at the end of February 2005
and then on to Toronto in March 2005 for the Canadian
Xtreme Band Slam semi-finals as part of Canadian
Music Week festivities.
Their
recent cut, All Good Things EP was recorded live-off-the-floor
mid-December 2004 and features eight of CFR’s
earlier tunes.
