CRAVE

Growing up in a world where jazz and blues are much more than music, but rather lifestyles, a young band finds themselves inundated in a pool of eclectic musicianship. Four years together would bring change, maturity, and more importantly, unity to this already well knit group of guys. "N2arms", as this band was formerly known, originally consisted of 4 members. Ross Hebert (guitarist/vocalist), originally formed the band. His father being a pastor/worship leader, Ross found himself immersed in worship from a young age. The band was initially Ross Hebert, Matt Cloutier (guitars), Jason Williams (drums), and Joseph Babin (Bass Guitar). The band made appearances all along the southwest coast and performed their way into many notable positions including, Winner of Southern Shoutfest. After a considerable stint of light touring, the band decided to induct keyboardist, Clay Cortez. The band performed a few more gigs and then found themselves following different ideas musically. Some of the guys decided to go their separate ways (Matt and Clay forming the recently dissolved, RETROVISER).

After a few months of seeking what the will of God is concerning the band, Ross, Jason, and Joseph decided to reunite and make a deeper move into the industry. This time bringing a new style, fronting a new name, and a reignited passion, these three guys set their minds and hearts on following the heart of God and bringing their music to where it belongs, in "His Presence". With their new passion inflamed, the guys set out to truly bring the heart of God concerning worship, out in song. In 2006, CRAVE, as they are now known, inducted keyboardist Joshua Gourgues as a finishing touch to their already well refined sound. In passing, if one finds themself stopping to take a longer listen at the powerful ballads with rocking choruses that this band brings, their prayer is that it would draw you closer to Him.
