More Like Georgia - MOVE ON

Interesting Fact: These guys are diamonds in the extremely rough. Something refreshing that we all needed a long time ago. One of the few bands who actually writes a great hook and melodies to boot. What's interesting is why more people aren't talking about them.

Location: Kansas City,MO

Genre: rock,pop,indie

My 2 cents: The vocals have a reminiscent quality much like Steve Perry of Journey, working with a more current sound of course. "MOVE ON" is a great song that showcases amazing potential, but my question remains, can they be consistant and write more than one great song? I surely hope so.

My 2 cents:  The vibrancy and song structure is perfectly aligned with everything a professional band conveys.  Infectious sing alongs, great harmonies which few local bands seem to possess. I've seen there name around Kansas City, but never bothered to listen. I am glad I did. It's nice to hear more than one good song from a band.

Moving along!

I know I haven't posted many new bands lately, but that's just because the live showcases have been keeping me super busy and I am still touring on my own music as well. I will be posting more stellar music for you to check out in the winter months! Thanks for your patience.

ATLAS - Wyoming

Interesting Fact: Three of the members in the band are married to a girl named Katie. To be clear, not the same Katie. (I'm not sure I believe you guys)

Genre: Rock,americana, alternative

Location: Kansas City,MO

Members:

Jeremy Chugg, Nick Welch,Dave Dalbey,Josh Orwig,Jonny Wooddell

Sounds Like: Rocky Votolato,Wilco,Ryan Adams

My 2 cents: The band claim that the song "Wyoming" is their hit, but I can hear more gems than just the one song. It's quite rare that I heard a band and immediately become a fan. "Wyoming" is just a taste of what this band has to offer. I'm    betting on career status soon.

Caleb McGinn - Girl of my dreams

Interesting fact: Caleb didn't start playing guitar until he was 19, and he didn't write his first song until he missed his flight home from London after studying abroad in Europe for a summer...a trip that also included running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain.


Genere: Singer songwriter


Location: Sedwick,KS


My 2 cents: Sometimes its hard to believe that someone so young can write and compose songs as well as Caleb does. So, what's wrong with being surprised? Caleb has a rare gift for song craft that most artists either don't get, or take years to develop. A songwriter with a likeable sound and an open heart.
