Addison Station definitely has the knack for writing catchy tunes...The result is a highly radio-friendly sound with the potential to score Addison Station some legitimate pop hits over the years. Home Tonight is a solid effort that rises above the pop throng; enough so to be heard and appreciated on a wide scale.

"...with Addison Station this show could turn the blackest of metal heads into acoustic rockers." - ctindie.com
"The acoustic duo carefully selected pop songs that showcased their excellent dual harmonies. They nailed the chorus harmonies of Tom Petty’s “Last Dance with Mary Jane,” and they even brought out an old flame I haven’t heard since the ‘90s — Tonic’s “If You Could Only See.” - Dan Berry

"Addison Station; are fabulously talented singers who know their way around a guitar, and a harmonica and who are about to get a lot of attention from a lot of people. Their "Lost and Found" original is the kind of tune that reminds you of a carefree warm sunny fall day on a college campus when you had no cares except to figure out where the party was." - Ann Nyberg
"Addison Station is a GREAT band!" - WFSB's "Better CT"

Bio
Addison Station (BMI) started as a studio group in 2008, releasing an introspective collection of acoustic pop songs “Everyday Hero”. Inspired by the soul and rhythm of singer/songwriters Rob Thomas, Stephan Jenkins, and Jason Mraz, singers and high-school friends Trent Gerbers and Jeff Kenniston decided to tour as an acoustic duo. The duo show, which has since become known in western New England for its creative cover arrangements, highlights the natural vocal chemistry between the two songwriters.
Over the course of 2009 and 2010 Gerbers and Kenniston experimented with various musicians to assemble a full band to back them up, and eventually added long-time friend and local Connecticut rocker RC Roberts on lead guitar. UCONN men's basketball pep-band veteran Peter Bard has assumed drum duties since 2010, and Eastman School of Music grad Ken Rescsanski has recently joined on bass. As a quintet, Addison Station’s music has fallen into a niche of easily accessible pop/rock tunes powered with a driving rhythmic foundation, and strong signature vocal harmonies.
Addison Station has released their follow up EP, “Home Tonight” (Distributed worldwide by Concerthouse), in June 2010 along with their first music video for the EP’s title track which was filmed in Miami. The set features the power ballad "You Don't Have to Turn Away" and high-energy pop/rock track "Run to You"; both of which have been featured on TV, licensed for corporate purposes, and continue to be played on radio stations worldwide. As of 2012 Addison Station is currently in the process of recording their third album and continues to perform at venues across the eastern US.
