Winner of the 2006 Rockin’ in the Valley original music contest held by Our Town, Somerhill was the closing act for American Idol finalist Chris Daughtry in March 2007 in Pittsburgh. Charles Constantino and Chad Gontkovic wrote the lyrics for 'Free Your Mind (Tara Na)' that include the phrase, “Tara na,” which is “Let’s go” in the Tagalog language of the Philippines. William Rose and Charles Constantino wrote the music for 'Free Your Mind (Tara Na)' and the lyrics and music for 'Today or Tomorrow.' Digitally tracked, mixed and mastered at 24 bits/96 kilohertz, the guitar-and-drum-driven 'Free Your Mind (Tara Na)' and 'Today or Tomorrow' combine rock, funk and jazz elements with four-part vocal harmony, vintage keyboard sounds, and unconventional mixdown touches.
“I learned a lot just being around him during pre-production and recording sessions. I also learned the definition of meticulous,” remarked Chad Gontkovic of Somerhill about Core Media House cofounder Charles Constantino, who mixed and produced 'Free Your Mind (Tara Na)' and 'Today or Tomorrow.' “He’s awesome.” Greg Kehl noted, “Charles showed us how to turn our basic riffs and melodies into layers and layers of beautiful sounds. It was fun to see someone with so much knowledge of music in his element while we were in pre-production and in the studio.” “He’s just a musical genius,” Bill Rose said of Constantino in an interview for Our Town. According to Rose, Constantino added “multiple harmonies, different back-up vocals, different types of singing, and different instruments that we hadn’t even considered.” “The determination of Somerhill to evolve as musicians and songwriters impressed me. I enjoyed my time with the group,” Constantino stated.

We have a few new pictures on our page with them. it would be great if you could take a minute to stop by our page and leave a comment to welcome them into the band :)
Just wanted to let you guys know that I made it for some of the show at Richland days and you kicked ass as always. Hope to see you somewhere again soon.
