Close Enemies
CRITIC'S PICK:
Wed., Jan. 21
Close Enemies, Smith's Olde Bar - Aerosmith is over, which allows founding bassist Tom Hamilton to try something different with Close Enemies. A supergroup, of sorts, Hamilton is joined by Sheryl Crow guitarist Peter Stroud, veteran rockers Tony Brock (drummer for The Babys), guitarist Trace Foster and singer Chasen Hampton in this new outfit. As of this writing, there is no album, but a smattering of singles appeared in 2025 putting the band's approach squarely in classic rocking territory. It's not far from Aerosmith's sound but a little closer to pop with catchy choruses and snappy riffs. Recent sets have them introducing new original songs first then closing with a sampling of Aerosmith and Babys' covers. - Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
Event Description
Unlike the name suggests, these five guys are close friends, each with an illustrious musical career.
Tom Hamilton, multiple Grammy winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, and bassist of the biggest-selling American rock band of all time, Aerosmith, is joined by legendary drummer Tony Brock (The Babys and Rod Stewart), touring veterans Peter Stroud (Sheryl Crow and Don Henley) and Trace Foster on guitar, and singer Chasen Hampton, who has been singing professionally since the age of 11 as a member of the famed Mickey Mouse Club.
Luckily for us, these five don’t want to rest on their laurels and ride off into the sunset. Their first single, Sound of a Train, is set to be released January 2025, with more to follow each month.
