Stranger Than Fiction Persona CD

Boston's Stranger Than Fiction has been established for about four years. The band was brought together by a post-it note displayed in a music store window by Aaron Gacs (honestly he looked like he wrote it with his toes). Gary Adams answered the ad, and the rest is history! After listening to Aaron play the piano, seeing his passion for music and hearing his catchy songs, Gary knew that Aaron was going to be successful. Bassist Chris Derro was also looking for a new challenge. He had been in another band with Gary, and he was the best finger pick guitar player Gary had ever met. Chris joined Gary and Aaron, and after playing together for a few months, the trio decided to look for a guitar player. They posted an ad in a local music store and got a load of calls. The guys know it would be worth their while to be picky-they tried out about 25 guitar players before meeting Scott Farrell. He was a little nervous and said he mostly played metal, so the four musicians decided to jam. After the first two minutes of his tryout, Aaron, Chris, and Gary were totally amazed-they knew this was the guy! The band played together for a while, learning cover songs and starting to work on originals. The response they received at local clubs and parties was overwhelming: Gary's tasteful drumming combined well in a live setting with Chris's smooth bass lines, Scott's rocking guitar riffs and Aaron's powerful vocals and magical piano playing. Persona, Stranger Than Fiction's first album, could not have happened without the knowledge, patience and friendship of producer Mark McKnight. (If the band had gone anywhere else, Gary would have had to sign his house over to the studio, given the number of recording hours they put in). Mark stepped up and realized that these guys all had good ideas, and it was his job to create a sound that would do those ideas justice. Gary, Chris, Aaron and Scott hope you will listen to their CD with an open mind. The dedication, hard work, and passion these four guys exhibit and the talent and creativity they possess in these songs is both enjoyable and rewarding. They have dedicated themselves to their music, and they hope their fans will enjoy their unique style and talent. More On The Way!
