Our Story
Emerging from the Wine Country of Southwest California, the four-man rock band, 24E, was born in 2001 with founding members Chad “cblime” Fergerstrom on lead vocals/ guitar and Bryan Auer on drums. “24E” (which means ‘the constant state of music’), recorded 13 tracks for their self-titled first release. The song “Broken” received national radio airplay and the project sold several thousand copies.
In 2003, 24E added Travis Tingley on guitar and Steve Adler on bass and recorded “Dirt Love Songs” on Jupiter Records, which attracted some major industry buzz and got the attention of one of the most highly respected attorneys in entertainment law, Owen Sloane.
With the crowds growing in the Southern California region, 24E set out live in 2005 and recorded a 15 track c.d. entitled “Live From Jupiter”. While most of the tracks had not been previously released on a studio album, Jupiter Records wanted to make the energy of 24E’s live show available for people to experience all over the country and they did. “Live From Jupiter” saw success both nationally and internationally with fans becoming aware of 24E all over the world.
With the growing popularity of 24E live, the boys went in to the studio to capture the songs in the studio with noted producer Rob Hoffman - www.elicitmusic.com (Cristina Aguilera, Michael Jackson, Hole, Buckcherry). The song “Love Is” was pre-released to radio as part of a Electronic Press Kit and DVD compilation and went to #10 on the FMQB charts by 7/18/06. The new full length c.d. entitled “From Stagger to Wind” is out now.
“Music moves people and a good song can make you feel and understand things right to the depths of your soul. There is a responsibility that comes with that and we accept it as a calling we have on our lives.” cblime 2005
