Faretheewell
Faretheewell, aka "Eff Tee Dub", is an independent band emerging from Chattanooga, TN. Formed in 2008, the band consists of Dave Jackson (lead vocals, guitar), Wasley ("Waz") Shultz (guitar, back-up vocals), Josh Rosa (bass, back-up vocals), and Marcus Alcantara (drums). While only one year old, the band has gained enormous local popularity and is quickly expanding their audience via their first U.S. tour to kick off in June of 2009.

Formation and the First Year
Dave Jackson and Marcus Alcantara were originally part of a band called The Night Drop, but when this gig seemed to lack the drive for future success, they split up to start something new and different. Alcantara then recruited coworker Wasley Schultz to play guitar for the band. Schultz had previously played in a band with bassist Brian Wallace, whom he recruited and thus Faretheewell was born. The title of the band came from Jackson's drive to pursue a new musical path, thus bidding "fare thee well" to his past, and with their very first band practice, the song "Gunshot" was composed.
