The Likes of You is featured as one of the Top 12 bands in the Fox network’s competitive reality television series The Next Great American Band. It is led by Geoff Byrd, who is considered by many to have been a pioneer in bridging the gap between the Internet and the mainstream music industry. Byrd is no stranger to awards, having received four Grammy nominations back in 2004, and then an Emmy nomination for the song “Friend is a Friend” on the kids’ animated series Toddworld. He achieved a top three hit song together with Jim Brickman on AC, and has also rated high in the past on Internet radio networks.
Other members of the group include producer and songwriter Jesse Stern, drummer Joe Higgins, and guitarist Jason Moore. The Likes of You has performed in more than 50 shows, among them touring with Hall and Oates as an acoustic opening act. They have made music in various concert halls, such as The Beacon in New York, The Hummingbird located in Toronto, and The Warner in DC. Aside from public performances, the group also crafts songs for various television productions. One of these tunes was the theme song for Cheerleader Nation on the Lifetime network.
