Comic book heroes
Comprised of a highly talented group of 16-year-old musicians, Comic Book Heroes is a rock band with its roots in classic rock, yet flavored with their own unique sound often described as “retro, yet modern rock mashed up with a bit of grunge and arena rock.”
Their distinctive sound can be heard at theaters, stadiums, festivals, night clubs, parks and beaches across America. They have performed nationally in venues of all sizes, for audiences of up to 10,000 people! They’ve performed at The International Pop Festival (NYC and Hollywood), American Music Theatre, Six Flags Amusement Park, Hershey Park, The Knitting Factory and more. Currently most performances consist of a 60-minute set of songs played from their new CD, Take a Seat. These dedicated young musicians work very hard, typically rehearsing 3-5 times a week.
Having caught the ears and hearts of a wide group of fans, Comic Book Heroes has been invited to perform as the opening act for many successful bands like Foghat, Steppenwolf, Jealousy Curve, REO Speedwagon and others. CBH is fortunate to have musician Craig MacGregor, father of CBH drummer Collin MacGregor, the bassist for the 1970’s band Foghat, as advisor to the band. Both Craig and his wife, Lisa, the band’s manager, have been supportive and extremely helpful to the teenage band.
CBH currently has two self-released CD’s, both available for purchase on iTunes and CD Baby: http://www.comicbookheroes.info/wst_page6.html. Their first CD, released March 2006, is titled Comic Book Heroes. The second, titled Take a Seat, was released this past July, 2008.
CBH has been interviewed and has performed on TV and radio, as well as in newspapers and magazines. In February, 2007, the band appeared in a music video on Nickelodeon’s Noggin channel’s hit series, Jack’s Big Music Show” (Check out the video of their appearance on the CBH website at: http://www.comicbookheroes.info/wst_page8.html.

Recently, the CBH band was chosen to showcase and participate in a panel in this past October’s CMJ Music Marathon in New York, the largest and longest running music event of its kind which helped launch the careers of many successful bands including R.E.M. and Green Day. The event attracted over 1,200 artists and 120,000 fans in more than 75 of the city's nightclubs and theaters!
This past August, 2008, CBH was honored by ranking in the Top 10 in the National Song Contest on OurStage.com! Then, i n November, CBH's single "Catch Me if You Can" won the national song contest on OurStage.com, placing 1st place in the rock category, out-charting more than 800 other songs! CBH was also one of the youngest band's in the contest's history!
