The Get-A-Way Band/Frank Medley
Gary Porter:
Genghis:
When asked whether there was anything he wanted to say in promotion of this track, solo rapper Genghis stated that he did not. So it would seem he hopes to maintain an aura of mystery, preferring to let the music speak for itself. On that note, we really like his debut single No Love, and believe you will as well.
The Get-A-Way Band:
Led by the charismatic virtuoso Frank Medley for going on four decades, The Get-A-Way Band is known as one of the more popular live draws in their native Mansfield, Ohio region, and have released four discs of original material to date, with a fifth soon on the way. If you had to categorize their music, you might say blues based classic rock, yet this ensemble touches upon virtually every genre in some fashion and can pull off just about anything. If ever in the area and itching for a good show, they are not to be missed. He was actually recently elected to the Mansfield Musician Hall Of Fame – check out his page there:

The Gold Needles:
This modern British combo fuses the 60s, 70s, 90s and today together in a highly memorable confection you won’t soon forget. Sometimes space rock, sometimes jangle, sometimes sounding like a lost early 70s Kinks gem and sometimes the next great UK explosion, they are tough to pigeonhole but always compelling.
Recently they have released a career-spanning retrospective disc, along with new material, available now on iTunes: Pearls

Goofy Guys:
These Ohio pranksters actually began their wild ride as wee lads, clear back in 1983. Owing to licensing restrictions for unauthorized samples, a good two-thirds of their material, if not more, remains unreleased to this day. Despite at one point taking an eleven year gap between studio albums, they have in fact been remarkably prolific when their career is taken as a whole.
Since the release of their last studio album, Moustache Plus Beard Equals Face in 2022, they’ve been working here and there on its highly anticipated follow-up. 2023 brought with it an extensive compilation titled A Masterpiece In Progress, featuring 50 tracks – 45 of which had never before been available digitially.

J. Jamal
J. Jamal is an up and coming musician hailing from Harbor City, CA. He counts Tyler The Creator, Luther Vandross, and Mali Music among his many influences. His debut EP, I Like Me, was among our highlighted discs for summer ’18. As far as where he’s at right now in his musical journey, J. Jamal recently had this to say:
“This is the first step on my road to the Good Life. I want to thank God and my godmom, Opal Allen, for allowing me to dream. And thank you to Wes at Kairos Music Group, for helping to make that dream a reality.”

Jamitjames:
Originally from Melbourne, Australia, and currently living in Singapore, Jamit is an electronic music producer influenced by dub, electro, techno and funk sounds. He uses Ableton Live & Push. He believes music is often about eating, drinking, dancing and enjoyment, but at other times it’s the voice of activism and making a change for the better.
The Judas Cow:
http://www.myspace.com/thejudascow
The Judas Cow are a Columbus, OH group in the Americana/alt-country mold and are currently on hiatus. Led by singer-guitarist Kevin Spain, they cranked out a handful of releases in the first decade of this century and this cut, Mid-Sized City, is a favorite of ours taken from their Last Summer EP. Something about their warm sound makes it seem as though the band is playing in your living room, with memorable hooks enhanced by Spain’s warm, resonant voice.
Kevin Spain:
Both a founding member of Midwest legends Silo The Huskie and our personal heroes the Judas Cow, when Kevin Spain found a spare moment in 2002, he stripped things down for his first solo CD, A Year At Mulford & McClain, from which we have taken “Weave.” We like working in both hot-off-the-press cuts from our bands as well as a classic or two into these compilations, and this haunting instrumental has always been one of our favorites.

The Knives:
An indie rocker from New Zealand, The Knives is really just a one man band, Ricky Jones, who specializes in catchy lo-fi modern rock. When asked recently for a little bit of background information, this is what he had to say:
“I’m a self taught, multi instrumentalist, singer songwriter (from Wellington), and nearly (getting close) producer, who is influenced by everything in the world. This will be my debut EP as the Knives. I’ve been compared to Lou Reed more times than I can count, although, I’ve never listened to his music. The Knives is a project striving to be unique, original, and innovative – with a will to be different, I wanna break some genre barriers, and some moral conventionalities.”
His debut album, My Name’s Lucky, is now available on all major platforms.

Kyle Ketsdever:
By day a member of local indie super group Tecate Sunrise, by night prone to jamming alone or with whoever else happens to be nearby, Statesville, NC’s Kyle Ketsdever is a gifted multi-instrumentalist as equally at home hitting the RECORD button for 3am improvs as he is covering other famous songs or writing more intricate, detailed ditties. Even at their most chaotic, however, any project he is involved with will be accessible and eminently listenable.
