From Far Apart

“Music is not a hobby. Music is a way of life, our way of life.”

From Far Apart consists of Justin Tugwood and Neil Chamberlain, friends since childhood, who grew up in Northern Ontario. Richard Bradley, moved from Newfoundland to Sudbury, Ontario, where he met, and joined with Neil and Justin to form the rapidly growing From Far Apart. Their original blend of Pop and Rock brings together unique melodies and beautiful harmonies which are written with the sole purpose to evoke all emotions, and if nothing else, purely entertain.

Justin and Neil have been friends since 1990 as they grew up in Northern Ontario. They began performing and writing music together in 1998 and have stuck together since. After moving to a number of cities in Ontario and Alberta, they relocate to Sudbury, ON in 2006 where they met their drummer, Richard. The trio became friends and soon after decided to take their music to the next level as a band. The group is constantly writing new music with material for a new album ready to follow up their debut album “Livid” which was released in Sudbury, in September of 2007. They have been writing their original music as a three piece, while using session bassists for live shows and recording for over a year. Finally in January of 2008 they picked up a full time bassist. Keith Johnson, another of Neil and Justin’s hometown friends, filled in for a few shows and from there decided he would take the job full time.

For these four guys, music has become their career. This is the beginning of a life on the road and in the studio, as musicians, and more importantly as From Far Apart.

“We are just a few ordinary people who share a common passion for music, just trying to make a place for ourselves in this world. We have tremendous respect for the amazing musicians who made music what it is today. Our hope is that we can produce music that would make those artists proud. We strive to write songs and create our art, in a matter that can illuminate emotions and excite the soul of our audience.”
