Caleb Lovely Is a Singing Songwriting Rock N’ Roller out of Houston, Texas. He’s often compared to a wide range of artists including Ryan Adams, John Mayer, Passenger and Keith Urban. His influences include these writers as well as many others.
“I got dreams of making it better than before. Dreams of me and dreams of you, swinging on the porch. Dreams that know us, and dreams that don’t. I don’t know what distance does but I tell you Love, distance don’t know us” -Caleb Lovely
They’re not the type of lyrics you would expect to hear from an artist from a blue-collar town like Morgantown, Wv. But that’s how Caleb Lovely writes songs. They come from his heart, spontaneously and fueled by emotion. He writes cause he needs to. His audience connects because it's sincere and believable, honest and true, relatable and intimate and incredibly catchy. His songs are breaking down the barrier between artist and audience.
From birth it was clear music would be a huge part of Caleb’s life. He grew up in a musical household; both of his parents were singers who met while performing with Tops In Blue in the Air Force. Caleb spent most of his early childhood slinging fake guitars around the house whilst getting down to Vince Gill and spent his Sunday mornings singing in the Kid’s choir at a local Baptist church. But singing wasn’t enough for Caleb, not after he saw a Gibson Les Paul being played magnificently in a music video. He knew at that moment that he was destined to be a guitar player and share his songs with the world. Then arrived Caleb’s 12th birthday and there was a gift from his parents...his first electric guitar.
After about a month of lessons, Caleb quickly began to teach himself how to play guitar and spent his middle/high school years in Pittsburgh, PA, Brookhaven, MS and Rochester, MN dedicated to becoming a better player, writing songs and learning to play bass, drums and piano. After graduation and a short stint at West Virginia University, he focused on music full time, playing live shows as an acoustic solo act and with his band consisting of Cam Marburger, Peter Wilson and Joe Cataneo. They quickly developed a strong fan base and began headlining regularly around the Pittsburgh area and at other venues in the region. They’ve also shared the stage with artists like Marc Broussard, Edwin McCain, Amos lee, Dashboard Confessional, Tyrone Wells, Rooney, Hanson, Alex and Sierra, O.A.R., Andy Grammar, Andy Davis, just to name a few.
During the 2010 summer Caleb was invited to play acoustic solo shows on the Van’s Warped Tour. While on tour he was writing new songs that would be included on his solo E.P. a few months later. He also released official music videos for two songs from the E.P. “Stay” and Call Me” with each garnering over 100,000 views on his YouTube channel. The videos on his channel have been viewed over 3,000,000 times already and have led to Caleb developing a national and international fan base with fans close to your mother’s back yard and as far away as Australia.
In April 2011 Caleb, entered the recording studio with producer Rick Beato (NeedtoBreathe, Shinedown, Jump Little Children, Tyler Bryant and the shakedown) and began work on new songs that will became the band’s first 6 single release.
2012-2013 has been years of writing with other artists in Tennessee, traveling, touring, growth and solo shows
2014 Caleb Relocated to Houston Texas and in a short month and a half time
began headlining at the medium sized room at the Houston House Of Blues, and has been blessed to play legendary Dosey Doe with some class acts. Caleb Lovely will be touring extensively throughout the remainder of your life. Look for him shredding a town near you.

Mike Cali – budding talent growing right in the South Side of Pittsburgh
By: Cassandra Quinn, Pittsburgh Indie Music Examiner
For some musicians, the path to a melodious career seems inevitable from a relatively young age. For others, like burgeoning singer/songwriter Mike Cali, their talent is stumbled upon like a fork in the road. By day, Mike chooses the sensible path of a stable career shielded by a cubicle, but by night his alter ego leads him to the small stages around Pittsburgh - wooing unsuspecting audiences with just the warmth in his vocals and an acoustic guitar. 
A self-taught guitarist from New Jersey, Mike learned his way around a six-string by covering the work of some of his greatest creative influences: Bruce Springsteen, Ray LaMontagne and Amos Lee. Five years later, Mike integrates the same brand of soulful versatility into his music like that of his inspirational predecessors. Although relatively new to the music scene in Pittsburgh, Mike's indisputable talents have led him to open for some of the most well-known names in the indie music cohort; including Tyrone Wells, Matt Duke, Jay Nash and Tony Lucca.
While speaking of artists that stimulate his creativity, Mike mused, “I'm enamored by the traveling musician - the artist that lives situations, makes them relatable and travels from place to place sharing their work organically in small venues, all while being entertaining. Doesn’t it seem like such a natural and obvious process?”
Mike's performance at Club Café in support of Duke, Lucca and Nash this past November was the ideal balance of original material and cover songs – allowing the audience to better navigate their way through the complexities of his vocals, as his voice carried the song more often than his guitar. Opening his set with Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire” while playfully incorporating Bruno Mars’ “Just the Way You Are” was an intriguing display of the range of genres his own work would surely embrace. 
Although timid in his stage presence, the zealous musicianship Mike displays during his performances is soaked in potential. The timbre of his vocals conveys a feeling of genuine intimacy, allowing his listeners to relate personally to his music simply through his voice. 
Michael has performed throughout Pittsburgh and its suburbs with at most times only an amp and his guitar; never allowing the size of the venue nor the extent of the audience to deter him from sharing his music with anyone willing to listen. Fortunately, as his talents continue to flourish so does his following.
