The Switchfits

Posted by: Nick In: Concerts

The Switchfits are a trio of teens that are taking the St. Louis music scene by storm. With a unique chemistry and impressive knowledge of reading and writing music, their band has been growing strong for over a year. Local media embraced The Switchfits in October with their baseball-themed rock song “On Our Way” used during the St. Louis Cardinal’s 2009 post-season. With this immense coverage, The Switchfits were officially on the map in St. Louis. In November and December, the media supported the band with TV and newspaper coverage during a national “Battle of the Bands” competition, titled “Schooljam USA,” sponsered by NAMM. The Switchfits were voted one of the top 10 teens bands in America and got to perform live at the NAMM show in Anaheim, CA in January 2010. In Febuary,The Switchfits were invited by Monster Jam to perform live at The Edwards Jones Dome, home of the St. Louis Rams, for a crowd of about 10,000 people at the “party in the pit.” And their biggest opportunity so far came 2 weeks later when they were asked open for Houses of the Holy, a nationally know Led Zeppelin tribute band for 8000 fans at the St. Charles Arena. Trying not to look too far ahead, The Switchfits are taking things one day at a time and happily pursuing the opportunities that come their way.

This concert serves as a benefit for Camp Jam.  According to Switchfits band member Sam Koltun about where it all started, “The opportunity to form a band, learn songs and perform a concert in front of a live audience was a life changing experience gained at Camp Jam rock music camp.” Fellow band member Harry Russell adds, “Camp Jam is where I met guitarist Sam Koltun, and our friendship and passion for performing has led us to this rockin’ destination.”

House opens at 6:00pm, Concert begins at 6:30pm
