| October Project has headlined sold-out shows across the U.S. and toured with such platinum-
selling acts as The Crash Test Dummies and Sarah McLachlan. The band performed live on
TV's Latenight with Conan O'Brien as well as on numerous nationally syndicated radio
shows, and was featured in an Emmy Award-nominated PBS Special, Just Passing Through,
with Shawn Colvin and Julia Fordham. October Project's music appears in the feature film
Blown Away starring Tommy Lee Jones and Jeff Bridges, and has appeared on such TV
shows as The Real World, Extra!, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, Baywatch and One Life to
Live.
October Project established its roots in a New Jersey garage but its early seeds germinated
on the campus of Yale University where Belica and Flanders were roommates for four
years. The three were joined in 1990 by guitarist David Sabatino, percussionist Urbano
Sanchez and singer Mary Fahl.
Although the original group took a break for personal reasons in 1996, Flanders, Belica &
Adler continued to make music together. In 2000, they gathered in the studio with
Sabatino and percussionist Sanchez to "cover" October Project's second single, "Return to
Me," for Belica's debut solo recording, "decembergirl." The response to the track was
phenomenal. It went to #1 on alternative station WBER in Rochester, New York and aired
for several months on 99X, one of the most popular commercial radio stations in Atlanta.
Prompting a mention in Billboard magazine, the track was also featured in the climactic
scene of an indie movie ("The Adulterer") featuring several Flanders & Adler songs, and
was used as the closing credit music in "The Spirit of St. Paul's," a documentary about the
World Trade Center disaster and its aftermath.
Signed to Epic Records in 1993, the group has enjoyed international acclaim and has sold
close to half a million copies of their two albums ("October Project" and "Falling Farther
In"). The albums continue to sell and attract new listeners to this day. In 2002, "Falling
Farther In" made the top five (along with Creed, Jars of Clay & U-2)in a list of "Music With
A Message" in Borders Bookstores' magazine.
In March 2003, the group released a new six-song CD entitled "Different Eyes". Reformed around the angelic voice of Marina Belica, and the songs of Julie Flanders and Emil Adler, the group returns itself to its three original memebers.
