Era for a Moment

A five-piece, female fronted rock band, Era For a Moment hails from Massachusetts and has been described as a stronger Evanescence with the grit of Sevendust. Shortly after the band had finally gotten all of its members, an unplanned turn of events occurred. Guitar player, Tim D'Agostino, who was in the Army at the time, was called for duty and headed to Iraq for over a year. Undeterred from the potential major setback, the band decided they would keep in touch with Tim as best as they could, and hired a fill-in-turned-permanent second guitar player (Matt Perry)...

Shortly after the band had finally gotten all of its members, an unplanned turn of events occurred. Guitar player, Tim D'Agostino, who was in the Army at the time, was called for duty and headed to Iraq for over a year. Undeterred from the potential major setback, the band decided they would keep in touch with Tim as best as they could, and hired a fill-in-turned-permanent second guitar player (Matt Perry), and the band kept pushing along. Their loyalty to each other allowed them to wait for Tim's return, however long it would take. Their original plans of hitting the studio to record a nine song CD would be on hold temporarily. Era For a Moment kept writing new material, as did Tim on an acoustic guitar with an mp3 recorder he used in the desert, and they traded ideas on which the band could work. Finally, Tim got home safely in the spring of 2004 and the band got back to work harder and more grateful than ever, and released a nine song CD with producer Jim Foster who is known from the national artist ?Nullset.?

The release of their new disk ?Realize? created a lot of attention for the band, and the song ?The Fire? quickly shot up garageband.com's top 10 hard rock music chart for eight weeks, followed by being #3 for best female vocals All-Time in Hard Rock. Before that reached its peak, garageband.com had another song by Era For a Moment, ?Calling You,? reach the #5 All-Time spot for female vocals in Hard Rock.

Shortly thereafter, in the fall of 2005, XM Satellite Radio added the band to their Unsigned
Channel, which airs on XM52. XM called the band in December 2005 to announce they had chosen them to open Bon Jovi - as winners of the ?Have a Nice Gig? contest. This was a sold out show at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston. The band was then voted by fans as one of the 4 finalists out of
hundreds, to have the chance to open for Bon Jovi at their last show of the tour, in Giants Stadium.

From this point on, the band has landed many other opportunities and awards including a performance on FOX 25 Morning News, Winning Best-Female Fronted band of 2006 on Z98 FM in Iowa, Best Album Release on SonicCathedral.com, cover stories for Indie In-Tune Magazine and NOMASONHA Magazine, as well as opening for National Acts such as Drowning Pool, Soil, Lacuna Coil and others.

The band just released their sophomore album "When Earth Meets Sky" in May of 2009 with great reception and is now fully endorsed by Lightwave Guitars. Check out EFAM in Lightwave Guitar Ads in GUITAR WORLD.
