The Certain Someones

About Me

The Certain Someones came together in September of 2005, and have steadily been learning a catalogue of songs written by Gwen Greer; catchy, melodic pop/folk/rock driven songs, full of joy, heartache and resolution, and best, possibility. Gwen (vox, guitar, bass) had been performing solo, and decided she is just still young and carefree enough to form a band, and allow other passionate artists finesse her material into being all that it can be. With the production of Dave Banks of Energy Command Studio, a band demo is now available for your listening pleasure. Byron (bass, mandolin) and Anthony (drums) found Gwen through ads she placed in the Music section of the Chicago Craigslist. Don (lead guitar) is an Associate Producer at Energy Command Studio, appears on the demo here.
All have a passion and talent for music and for performance, and consider themselves lucky to be playing together. And how! Email us to sign up for our monthly newsletter, full of news and reviews, jokes about musicians, pics of the band, and household cleaning tips. Just kidding about that last one - unless that's something you'd like to see - we aim to please.
We love you long time.

So, Pro Tools. What a concept. Gwen is learning it, and with it The Certain Someones are going to produce their own full length CD, set to be a finished product this spring. Look for scratch tracks...
