On Hot Chelle Rae’s breakthrough hit single “Tonight Tonight,” frontman Ryan “RK” Follese complements the infectious “La La La” hook by triumphantly declaring “There’s a party on the rooftop/Top of the World…and we’re dancing on the edge of the Hollywood sign.” The Nashville based pop/rockers—whose lineup includes lead guitarist Nash Overstreet, bassist Ian Keaggy and Ryan’s brother Jamie Follese on drums—have a lot to celebrate these days. “Tonight Tonight”—included on the four track EP follow-up to Lovesick Electric, their 2009 full length debut on Jive Records—reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit the Top 10 on the Adult Contemporary chart. In the first two months of its release, it sold 271,000 downloads.

Hot Chelle Rae’s success this summer truly embodies the old adage about being an overnight sensation that was years in the making. The band first took shape in 2005 when a mutual friend suggested that Follese (who was pursuing “the singer songwriter thing”) and Overstreet meet. Overcoming some skeptical first impressions, the two launched a group called Miracle Drug and brought in Nash’s childhood friend Ian Keaggy – a guitarist who didn’t play the bass until he joined the band. Each member boasts a unique musical lineage. The Folleses are the sons of renowned country songwriter Keith Follese (Randy Travis, Tim McGraw, Martina McBride); Keaggy’s father is Dove Award-winning and multiple Grammy nominated guitarist Phil Keaggy, and Overstreet is the son of country music singer Paul Overstreet and brother of actor Chord Overstreet from TV’s Glee. The “Tonight Tonight” video includes an appearance by Chord.

Redubbing themselves Hot Chelle Rae in honor of an early MySpace stalker, the group secured top management, signed with Jive and worked on Lovesick Electric with heavy hitter producers Eric Valentine (All American Rejects, Good Charlotte) and Butch Walker (Katy Perry, Avril Lavigne, Pink). Yet their first singles“I Like To Dance” and “Bleed” failed to catch fire.
Their fortunes changed with the March 2011 release of “Tonight Tonight.” Continuing to ride the wave of its popularity, HCR recently kicked off its fall tour with The Script and Big Time Rush.
