Band Bio
Something Distant was formed by vocalist/songwriter Jeff Congo. His career got started in Boston fronting the band "Last Week's Lies." Guided by his drive for musical chemistry, he moved to Jacksonville, Florida. It wasn't long before he met local singer/songwriter/producer Lu Rubino (Story Side B, Monkey the Fish, Flock of Seaguls). Lu produced some of the songs featured here on our website.

The last year has brought the band successful shows at Jack Rabbits, Freebird Live, among other venues. Something Distant got the opportunity to play at the Jacksonville Landing during Super Bowl XXXIX celebrations and a headlining spot during the 2006 FL Gators vs GA Bulldogs "worlds largest cocktail party." More recently the band has shared the stage with such bands as RED, Ben Robinson, and Universal Recording Artist "Big10-4."

The current band lineup has several years of experience playing for well known national recording artists as well as local bands in the South East area. Wes Arvin- lead guitar- has had the honor of playing with Carlos Santana, and is mentioned on Carlos' website. "Arvin, Wesley Jacksonville, FL, Times Union Center PAC, "Maggot Brain," May 3, - 1997," Jon Kretzer - Drums- has toured with a number of coutry artists including Faith Hill.
