Close To Fate - Acoustic Rock Close to fate began as two young men came together with
their guitars to create an original sound that combines powerful lyrics with
acoustic rock. Mike Kulbieda and Eddie Simon became known in the local scene
not only for their music but also their ability to get more drunk than the
crowd and still put on a show. With the addition of Mike Maffeo, a punk rock
bass player from Chicago, the band began to take shape in the late summer of
2003. It wasn't until Joe Csordes joined the group did they become Close To
Fate. His hardcore influence on the drums allows for a sound that acoustic
music has never heard before. phone: 203-240-4404
