Best described as an energetic, commercial, melodic,
hard rock band, the Nashville, TN based Return To Self is a band on the
rise. In their short time together, RTS has already shared the stage with
the likes of Taproot, Dark New Day, Sevendust, Velvet Revolver, Saliva,
10 Years, Nonpoint, Revelation Theory, Soil, Apex Theory, [Minus Driver],
Bobaflex, and many more.
RTS is a band that prides itself on live performance. You have to experience
them live to really appreciate what this group truly has to offer. The
band has become a regional success playing to crowds as large as 600 +
and filling some of the largest venues Nashville, TN has to offer. They
also gig regularly in Southeast and Midwest regions. RTS is a local favorite
with spins on several Rock Radio stations in the region including 102.9
The Buzz Rocks in Nashville.
This is not your average band. They are a tight knit group
of friends who began paying their dues in the talented Nashville music
scene in several different bands before finalizing the current line up
of RTS. Brothers Brett and Brian "Dante" Moyer would start the
foundation for this family in 1996. They soon added local bassist Jason
"Golden" Hunt and Drummer/Percussionist Neal Davis and started
work as a 4 piece. In 2003, the Moyers would reconnect with their long-time
friend Todd "Mush" Fullford and RTS would officially be formed.
Looking and sounding the part of a true rock frontman, Brett is a classically
trained vocalist that brings experience from theater, choir, and an extreme
passion and aggression for life experiences. Dante is an intense musician
that brings the sound of modern rock, and his own unique blend of styles
that is immediately recognized. An impressive guitarist as you’ll
find, Mush has a passion for guitar giants such as Steve Vai and John
Petrucci with influences of early rock/metal bands. Rounding out the lineup
is the incredible rhythm section of Golden and Neal. Golden is a studio
and a drum corp. vet that brings with him one of the best stage shows
you'll see. Neal is also a drum corp. vet bringing great chops and a solid
back bone to the band. As an added tool, two of the members boast B.S.
from the acclaimed Middle Tennessee State University Recording Industry
program.
