Fastheaven is a folk/pop/rock band from Fribourg, Switzerland, and creates a unique intimate acoustic sound and atmosphere with their instruments and harmonies, with thoughtful and emotional real-life down to earth songwriting. We are happy to present our new single, "Time to Shine", featuring David Luke on vocals, a song about family and friendships and making the right choices.
The founding members are Patrick McCarthy and Fred Chappuis, featuring in most of the songs also Megan Carpenter. Patrick McCarthy is a singer/songwriter/keyboard player who has been composing songs for the past 20 years and grew up in Fribourg Switzerland.
Fred Chappuis is above all an experienced drummer and sound engineer, but this Swiss musician also plays almost every other instrument.
Lead guitars are being played by Pierre Angeloz, bass guitarist on all songs is Nicolas Gachoud and on keyboards on many songs is Valentin Molliet. All four musicians are also from Fribourg.
The single "Big Satellite" is also internationally successful and is featured in the playlist rotation of several radios (RNV Vaudois, Switzerland, Radio Fil de l'Eau - France, Radio Mach 5 - Italie, Alex Berlin 91.0 FM - Germany, Equinoxe FM - Belgium, ONS Radio Curaçao - Island in the Southern Caribbean Sea among others).
