Have Near

Have Near is a Alternative/Indie Rock Band from Dallas, TX. They have spent the last six months playing shows throughout the DFW area building a loyal following and bringing energy and good vibes to the stage. They just finished recording new songs with Michael Briggs of Civil Audio in Denton, TX and are very excited about their new sound they have been honing. The tone of their music has changed with every release, but they maintain an element of self realization, growth, and an emotional-centric vibe. Their music combines elements from the Emo, Shoegaze, Dreampop, and Indie Rock, but is a unique blend that truly stands on its own two feet.

The band formed in the fall months of 2019 when singer/guitar player Sam Farr reached out to drummer Jordan Proffer to jam together. At that time, the intention was just to make music together, and the idea of a full fledged band was not there yet. But, they quickly decided to find a lead guitar player and bass player to jam with. A few members were in and out of the band in various roles before their current line up. Most notable are lead guitar players Adam Samaniego, who wrote and performed the lead parts to their self-titled EP, and Roger Johnson who played the bulk of the live shows post-shutdown in 2021. Bass Player Mario Ortega has been in the band since before the shut down as well, and now with the final addition of Noah Myers on lead guitar, the band has found a sound that is energetic, emotional, and pure.
