About Love Newton

You may not know it, but you’ve got a fever. And the only cure…is Love Newton.

Love Newton is a modern rock/pop cover band based out of Raleigh, NC. The Newtons (Lance Filter, Matt Kanon, Chris Dott, and Adam Sorber) were brought together by a common desire to fill what they perceived to be a gap in the local music scene: quality radio rock from the last 10-15 years. Drawing on extremely varied backgrounds and influences, Love Newton faithfully renders the edgy pop and melodic rock you love with a style that’s all their own. Love Newton has played the Triangle’s most popular live music venues such as Napper Tandy’s, 42nd Street, High Park, MVP’s, Margaux’s, McKinley’s, O’Malley’s, and many fund-raisers/benefits and private engagement events.

You know you hate beach music. You know you don’t want to hear Brown Eyed Girl every time you go out. Let’s face it–you’re the generation who saw “alternative music” become mainstream. You remember where you were the first time you heard Smells Like Teen Spirit. There’s a part of you that still believes that Adam Duritz is the most prolific poet of his generation. You still have a crush on Gavin Rossdale and the Gin Blossoms provided the soundtrack to your most meaningful relationships.

We know who you are. We understand, and we’re here to help.

Experience the delicious taste of Love Newton.
