Hopeless Romantica - John Chambers, James Gonzalez, Sean Bottoms, Justin Pruett, Anna Prieto.
5 Amazing Musicians each with their own very unique talent.
-John Chambers, Your Lead Vocalist and keyist. His lyrics always have to do about love in one way or another. His mission: to tell the world about both the Joys and Despairs of love, but how through it all, it still makes up the greatest thing in the world. Lyricist, and sometimes riff writer, he started the band with Josh Roa-Martinez of Page 9. Writing simple love song lyrics and Josh on the guitar, sitting on the keyboard and couch in the bed room, that is how HR got it's start. We've come a long long way from that, and that brings us to where we are now.
-James Gonzalez, your lead guitarist and as we like to call him, the rhythm Vocalist. He and John are what got this whole thing started. Writing songs and next thing you know, doing shows. The ability this guy has to write with, it shows no bounds. He'll call you at 3am just so you can listen to what he's written. It's an amazing talent, and it's what makes us who we are.
-Sean Bottoms, rhythm guitar and co-key player. What's to say about Ol'Sqeak Box? This guy has already become something more than what he was when he first began. He's learned so much, as well as we have learned from him. He's given more heart and dedication than any other, which makes him pretty much kick so much more ass than anyone you know. Watch out ladies, he's tuned and ready.
-Justin Pruett, a talent that seems to never cease, the heartbeat of HR. This addition learned all of our music in less than a week and started writing his own parts not even a day after, not to mention he recorded our CD just a couple of days after joining the band. Already he has made a huge impact and a shift in the direction that we are going. Look for big things to come as this bad ass drummer evolves into even more.
-Anna Prieto, The sister to our brotherhood. Living in Grapevine, but still wanting to drive out to Rowlett to practice and learn all of our music and not letting distance or gas prices keep her from doing it, this is what every band strives for. This is what every band only wished they could get out of their members, and now, this is what we have. And we know that we are luckier than any other band at this point for having such a talent, with more heart and dedication for what she does.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure I give to you, Hopeless Romantica.
