On this day three years ago, members Ben D., Dave Yu, and Charlie Naebeck played together for the first time and the concept of Almost Famous was born. Since then its been "guitar-in-hand" opening for bands like Teddy Richards (Aretha Franklins son), 60 Second Crush, Harms Way, NS Stick player Gary Jibilian, joining the national I-squad family, founding Ntertainment Group, and playing countless other live performances and appearances.
