RENDITION; (music), singing a version of a song.
People always say that they love the fact that we don’t try to copy or mimic other bands. We take a song and we make it our own, hence the name RENDITION. RENDITION did not just happen over night. It took some friendship, magic and a little bit of fate to get everyone together! Let’s start from beginning…… We were all doing our own thing in the beginning of 2004, when a chance to form a band was too great to pass up. Eric was doing acoustic shows with his friend Coax, Glenn was playing with his own band at the time, Chris Daum was sitting at home dreaming of being in a band and Dave Fulton was just a phone call away. Eric, Glenn and Coax began doing three piece acoustic work all over the Chicago land area. We played any where that would have us. After playing as a three piece for a few months, we decided to add a drummer to the mix and get a full band going. Chris jumped on board and RENDITION played its first full band show on April 14, 2004. With the excitement of a full band, the desire to play bigger venues and the drive to go out there and be heard, we dove head first into being the best band out there! We started playing local bars and private events, building up the set list and learning along the way. We were taking opening slots, driving anywhere we could and just happy to be out there doing what we love. After doing this non stop for a year, in 2005 Coax decides that along with school, he would not be able to commit to all the shows full time. This is where Dave stepped in. We met Dave through a mutual friend and, after playing only a few shows, we asked him to join our band. 2006 flew by as we continued to tour new clubs and meet new fans. We began playing bars all over, traveling to Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan and found open arms down at colleges such as Eastern Illinois, U of I, Western Michigan, Northern, and a few others. After deciding to attend Berklee School of music in Boston, Chris Daum hands his sticks over to another Chris and amazing musician, Chris Cash (yes the name is real.) Now here we are in 2007 with Cash on board and things are getting crazy. We are busier than ever, traveling constantly and meeting new fans everyday. Mixed with a "HIGH ENERGY" stage show and an extensive song list, RENDITION appeals to a wide range of audiences. From Alternative to Dance, Country to Rock or Classic to Rap, RENDITION does it all. If you have not seen us yet, you are in for an amazing event!!! Everyone in the band brings something to the table. In just three shorts years, RENDITION has played at over 130 different venues, average over 150 shows a year and things are only getting started. We love what we do. We have met some of the greatest people out there and have the most loyal fans in the world. We thank everyone for their support and look forward to seeing everyone out there on the road ahead! This is only the beginning!!! |
