"Candlelight Red is the culmination of two central PA bands merged into one.
Bassist Adam Zimmer and Drummer Josh Hetrick were the rhythm section to the State College based band "Stept On". After the band called it a day in 2006 the two decided to join forces with guitarist Jeremy Edge who had been with the band "Backstreet Law" who later changed it's name to "Til December". Out of the ashes came Candlelight Red.
After gigging with vocalists Charlotte Kopp and Greg Locke, The band found Ryan Hoke to fill vocal duties. Ryan had played in the bands "Hyphema" and "Slant 6", who opened for such acts as "Hatebreed" and "Clutch". Things clicked immediately and the band began writing songs together. Candlelight Red have spent since the summer of 2008 introducing their sound to clubs all over central PA, NY and Ohio. They landed a spondorship deal with Jagermeister and endorsements for SIT Strings, Spector Basses and Saluda Cymbals. Already garnering many rave reviews and amassing a street team and fan club, Candlelight Red have fans on the edge of their seat awaiting the release of a new EP.
Not to be defined as only the descendants of their previous bands, CLR offer a sound that is new and innovative. Playing a variety of covers and some of their own music. CLR play something for everyone. They put their own spin on old songs such as Roxette's "She's got the Look" as well as do plenty of modern material. Look for much more from them in the months to come!"
