A melting pot of your favorite kinds of music all rolled into one.
Fresh Heir is a five piece high energy pop/soul/rock band that originated in 2007 while its members attended Webster University. Their music is a positive uplifting experience that infuses different elements of popular music while setting themselves apart from other bands by incorporating an uncommon instrumentation. For starters the band’s lead vocalist, Nick Savage doubles as the group’s drummer without missing a beat. Redefining thumping bass, keyboardist Ryan Marquez’s left hand more than holds down the low end of the sound spectrum while his right hand lays down lush Organ and Rhodes licks. Guitarist Benny Love’s smooth electric leads and tasteful rhythms fill out the musical foundation creating a unique, electrifying sound. Finally, topping it off Junior Siskey (Tenor Saxophone) and Desi Reichold (trumpet) come together as one bringing back those “feel good” horn lines today’s generation never knew.
Within the two years of the bands existence, Fresh Heir has performed and exceeded the expectation of the average local band in St. Louis. They have performed and "packed the house" in many of the top venues of the Midwest. This includes The Pageant (St. Louis), The Metro (Chicago), The Blue Note (Columbia), Iowa City Jazz Festival (Iowa City), 10,000 Lakes Festival (Detroit Lakes, MN) to name a few. The group has also done extensive travelling throughout Colorado, Kansas City and even done their fair share of recording in Nashville. While on their musical journey they have attracted many big names in the music industry local and on the national level. Fresh Heir is currently preparing to go on a two week tour to Europe sponsored by the United States Armed Forces (http://www.armedforcesentertainment.com/) supporting St. Louis’ Earthworms. The band is also up for St. Louis’ Alive Magazine contest: Next Emerging Artist ’09 and can be voted for now through April 10th at www.alivemag.com/emergingartist. In addition to playing the bigger venues Fresh Heir has performed at several local non-profit events like Earth Day at Forest Park, The Loop in Motion Festival, and Adams Elementary (St. Louis public schools).
While there are many bands all over the United States, few can say they've come as far as they have on their own. Especially when you factor in that they have done it all themselves without management or a record label. The group currently handles all of their own finances, traveling, recording, booking, and promotion with very little to no help.
Fresh Heir’s main goal is to spread their music as far and wide as possible. The most important part of Fresh Heir is that, lyrically it reflects the lives of its members and promotes a positive message. With lyrics like, "There's gonna be a brighter day", "We have to conquer fear", "I know its tough but, you can always get through", and "The sky's the limit", they believe everyone can closely relate themselves to their message at times, especially in the times we live today.
In addition to fueling the production and business side of the band some members of Fresh Heir have created a production company that has began to take over St. Louis' party scene called the New Family www.myspace.com/newfamilyproductions involving the best of St. Louis' emerging artist!
