The Frights

The Frights at Fremont

A couple of months after graduating from high school, Mikey Carnevale (vocals/guitar) and Richard Dotson (bass) got together as The Frights to play a one off 30 minute set as sort of a joke. The feeling they got from the crowd in their hometown of San Diego inspired them to become a "real" band almost in spite of themselves. Along the way, they recruited Marc Finn (drums) and released You Are Going To Hate This (produced by Zac Carper of FIDLAR) in February 2016. Jordan Clark (guitar) added to the band's musical prowess in the ensuing year of touring around North America. The Frights signed to Epitaph in early 2018 and got to work on Hypochondriac. Like You Are Going To Hate This, the band's third full-length was produced by Zac Carper of FIDLAR (who's also produced albums for SWMRS and Dune Rats). But for Hypochondriac, Carnevale took a more deliberate and exacting approach to his songwriting, resulting in The Frights' most nuanced work to date. After a sold out show at The Observatory North Park in their hometown of San Diego the same date as the release of the album, the band embarked on the Hypochondriac headline tour that is documented on their upcoming live album.   www.thefrights.com facebook.com/thefrights instagram.com/thefrights youtube.com/thefrights https://open.spotify.com/artist/2HSEdXKVq1WWtBbsIeNjRX?si=gvfUebE-S3STZ4dLzDsBjA https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/the-frights/788762537

Hannibal Buress

Hannibal Buress at Fremont

From within the bustling heart of the Windy City, a comedian named Hannibal Buress embarked upon his journey. The year was 2002, the location, the Big Muddy Room at Southern Illinois University. Guided by the wisdom of his friend Chidi and sharpened in the fires of Tony Trimm's "Sunday School sessions," young Buress was prepared to take the comedy world by storm. In 2006, he emerged from the shadows, performing at Montreal's 'Just for Laughs' New Faces, an event that led to his first international appearance on "Late Night with Jörgen Raymann" in Holland. From that moment, he continued to grow, creating a series of successful stand-up specials including "Animal Furnace," "Live From Chicago," "Hannibal Takes Edinburgh," "Comedy Camisado," and "Miami Nights". Fate intervened in 2009, when a last-minute booking on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" led to a meeting with Seth Meyers. This encounter gave him the opportunity to write for the legendary show "Saturday Night Live." It was there, my young turtles, where Buress had one sketch air – a moment he credits to the creativity of his cousin Percy. He cherishes the memory of watching Rihanna uttering his lines in the "Shy Ronnie" sketch. After a season there, he moved to "30 Rock," filling the space left vacant by the departure of Donald Glover. In the realm of film, Buress has proven his versatility, showcasing his talents in "Neighbors," "Neighbors 2," "Baywatch," "Daddy's Home," "Spiderman: Homecoming," "Spiderman: Far From Home," and "Tag." He also provided a memorable performance as Lincoln the dentist on "Broad City" and lent his voice to animations like "The Secret Life of Pets" and "The Angry Birds Movie." From 2009 to 2017, Buress held court at the "Comedy at the Knitting Factory," his charm and wit making an indelible mark on late-night television, featuring on shows such as "David Letterman," "Conan," "Stephen Colbert," and "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah." In 2022, he underwent a transformation, shedding his skin to become Eshu Tune in the world of music. His rhythmic anthems like "Veneers remix" with Danny Brown and Paul Wall, the lively bowling song "1-3 Pocket," and the meticulously crafted "I Lift Weights" echo through the streets. This endeavor was made possible through collaborations with creative minds like Kiefer, Tru, Eshu Tune, Wahsabi Papi, Kenny Segal, Eryn Allen Kane, and Haile Supreme. Through these transformations, Hannibal Buress remains a true warrior in the world of entertainment.

Richard Marx & Matt Scannell of Vertical Horizon

Richard Marx & Matt Scannell of Vertical Horizon at Fremont

Richard Marx has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, starting with his self-titled debut which went to No. 8 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The album spawned four Top 5 singles, including "Hold on to the Nights" and "Don't Mean Nothing," which earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. His follow-up, 1989's Repeat Offender, was even more successful, hitting No. 1 and going quadruple platinum with two No. 1 singles, "Satisfied" and "Right Here Waiting." He has since made history as the only male artist whose first seven singles reached the Top 5 on the Billboard charts.    Richard has also written on a No. 1 single in each of the last four decades, an accolade previously only reached by Michael Jackson. He has written with and for numerous artists, including Barbra Streisand, Keith Urban, Kenny Rogers, Celine Dion, Chicago, Natalie Cole, Kenny Loggins, Vince Gill, Daughtry, The Tubes, Martina McBride, Lifehouse, NSYNC, Michael Bolton, Vixen, and Josh Groban. He also went on to earn a 2004 Song of the Year Grammy for co-authoring Luther Vandross' "Dance with My Father". Overall, he has scored 14 Number One singles both as a performer and as a songwriter/producer, revealing him as a true multi-talented performer who continues to challenge himself and his fans.  - Matt Scannell is the song writer and lead singer/guitarist of the band Vertical Horizon. He has written seven hit singles, including "Everything You Want" (which reached #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 and was the most played song of the year 2000), "Best I Ever Had" (which was a Top 10 hit for Vertical Horizon and a Top 10 hit for country singer Gary Allan), "You're A God" (which reached #4 on the Billboard charts), and "Forever," "I'm Still Here," and "We Are," all of which reached the top twenty. The multi-platinum selling album "Everything You Want" is widely regarded as a seminal work in pop rock music, crossing multiple genres and influencing many bands making music in the new millennium.
