Message from Caleb:
Hi! I'm Caleb!! I'm an independent acoustic/indie/pop singer/songwriter/artist/musician from Pittsburgh, Pa. that recently relocated to Nashville, Tn. I'm 21 years old, enjoy Pina colodas, and super long walks on the beach. I draw most of music/writings from my real life experiences, obviously from LOVE that can resonate with all.
I started BEGGING my parents for a guitar at the age of nine. I always wanted to rock out to my favorite artists at the time(Britney Spears, Pink, Baha Men, Lou Bega) JUST KIDDING. When I got my guitar the first thing I did, was turn on my boom box and rocked out on my bed, jumping up and down to "Are You Gonna Go My way" by Lenny Kravitz. I loved Lenny. A few others I listened to were The Goo Goo Dolls, Sugar Ray, Hanson, 3 Doors Down and Matchbox Twenty.
My musical career was spawned at the age of twelve, when I taught myself how to play guitar. I used my junior high and high school years to develop on guitar as well as drums, bass and (a tad of) piano, while playing in various jazz bands as well as playing worship for my local church. I attended West Virginia University for a year, then I decided to turn my full attention to pursuing a career in music. I eventually grew tired of playing dive bars for HOURS for a twenty-dollar bill, in Morgantown, and decided to make the trek to Pittsburgh. I submersed myself into the music scene, playing every place I could.
I came out with a small independent home recorded E.p. featuring three full band songs, which recorded everything and produced it myself. and two much older songs (recorded when I was 18). I've written a TON of new material, and I'm not afraid to show it, usually releasing pre-production tracks/ideas on Myspace for all to hear. I just released my first music video, with Tom Larkin productions and just got done filming the next video being released this month! This one is for my full band tune "Call Me" one of the tracks I just completed at Sound Scape studios, in Pittsburgh.
I just moved to Nashville. I know a current total of three people. I won a singer songwriter competition back in PA, so I'm using the earnings to chill out, write music, try and play everywhere I can, and make a lot of contacts before I have to get a "Real Job" PLEASE NO!!!!!! I'm writing a ton of new things, and I'm hoping to find some legit (inexpensive) places to get them down on tape. I also do a TON of Youtube videos. it's kinda become a part of me, and I love doing them, Mostly covers, to attract people to my original tunes. check them out!
In the month of July, I will be doing a three week tour with an amazing singer/songwriter by the name of Kiernan McMullan. He's an exceptional friend, and it will be great to share the midwest part of the country with him. Also, I'm hoping to find some legitimate people to co-write with. This is something I've never done, and I'm interested to see what kind of impact it has on me.
Other really random stuff about me - I really like special K cereal products. my new favorite are the fruit crisps. SO TASTEY!! I try to eat a banana everyday, although I kinda get sick of it. I love movies (who doesn't), the Moulin Rouge Soundtrack, I'm obsessed with boutique guitars and amps.I really want a handgun and I'm thoroughly attracted to cute dancers. I think Pauley Shore is really cool, and the bass player from the Goo Goo Dolls hair is SICK!
Check out my stuff, and come out and see me on tour if we come out to your city! Details will be released soon!

Caleb Lovely is one of the most heartfelt singer-songwriters. With some of the most epic guitar-skills, this guy is bound to get more recognition this coming year. And with a last name like Lovely, how can you resist?
