About Me


Many moons ago, three musicians came together with a common purpose. To change the world. Make music as it's always been heard through their ears. Create something that's never been heard before. Make people move, make people listen and make people rock. Not to mention bring a sense of contention to their lives with the therapy they recorded for themselves. And if they were lucky; get famous.
As we all know that never happened. The world, instead, changed around them. Pressures of raising families, keeping minimal jobs, paying bills etc added up. What use to be a constant rock party turned into full fledged adulthood.
Coping with all of this has left City of Stars on constant hiatus. Maybe someday they can rekindle the sound of fire that once drove them to California, that once put them on the map in Buffalo, that once had them banned from every stage, that once had management companies knocking on their door and once had them be what they were truely meant to be. Passionate.
Time will tell our story. Enjoy some of our best music.
