the Chestertons

You will get a concert that is full of passionate, atmospheric rock and roll with both original material and covers by bands such as U2, Coldplay, Radiohead, and Oasis. The music is engaging and draws the listener into the performance, through authenticity and texture. The concert can be performed with a full band or in a more intimate format with just the singer and guitar player.

The Chestertons is a band from Cleveland, OH that explores the often unexplainable mysteries of the heart through atmospheric, guitar based rock and roll. Formed by Kevin Bianchi and Brian Bianchi, they have been pursuing introspective songwriting for the past decade, amassing a collection of over 500 unreleased songs. Since late-2014, the Chestertons have been joined by multi-instrumentalist Justin Hartman and Robb Colbrunn on the drums.

Following a solo project from Kevin Bianchi produced by Grammy nominated musician Dave Douglas (Relient K, Attack Cat) at Danger House Studios, the Chestertons went to work exploring a new musical language that is both introspective and universal. It approaches mystery as both a starting point and a conclusion. Drawn to many divergent sources of influence, textures of Echo and the Bunnymen, The Violet Burning, and Peter Gabriel can be discovered in their songs.

Excited by a new direction and renewed inspiration, the Chestertons have entered the studio to create their first EP, 'Noise and Benediction', which will be released in the summer of 2016. They also continue to focus on the joy of live performance. The Chestertons are committed to making every performance authentic and full of passion. With plans for many more show dates in 2016, the Chestertons promise to engage each listener in a unique blend of mystery and music.

The venue will need to provide a PA system and personnel to run the live sound unless specific arrangements are made with the artist.
