• BRONK BROTHERS
  
  
• Check out the Bronks website site here.
  The Bronk Bros, fronted by the brother duo of Heath and Brian Bronk, began their music journey in 1997. They best describe their show as a "Rockin' Hillbilly Extravaganza"—an out of control, pedal-to-the-metal, in-your-face musical journey. The duo uses a mixture of classic country, new country, and classic rock to create their own original music and sound. When these influences are mixed together, the result is the unforgettable "Rockin’ Hillbilly Extravaganza." Check out the Bronk Brothers FB page Here!

  Gunnar and The Grizzly Boys

  

• Gunnar & the Grizzly Boys assembled for their first show November 19th opening for Justin Moore at The Intersection. The sold out crowd welcomed the local boys into the Grand Rapids country music scene with open arms. The young aggressive style of the Grizzly Boys bounces back and forth between rock and blues creating a sound that screams country. With a supportive mob of hillbilly music fans at every show, the Grizzly Boys bring a party that encourages all to stand up and make some noise. Gunnar & the Grizzly Boys thank The Intersection and B-93 for putting together such a wonderful showcase of local talent and looks forward to the amazing shows it will offer.

Michatucky

It's impossible to describe what Michatucky does in one sentence. The band is really a product of its influences -- and yet like nothing you have ever heard in a band around West Michigan. Michatucky members Michael Price, BJ Abner, Jay Johnson and Tony Brooks have fused together a brand of country that's, well, it's kinda like travelin' down a red dirt road listening to Waylon and Skynyrd, Willie and Ragweed, Merle and Tom Petty, Johnny and Green Day -- all jumbled up on just one radio station. You never know what Michatucky's gonna play next -- but you KNOW it's gonna be full-throttle and fun. High energy? Yeah buddy!

  Kris Hitchcock & Small Town Son

• 

Kris Hitchcock & Small Town Son makes country music by mixing the backbeat of Waylon, the fiddle of Charlie, the twang of Reed, and the sound of real country life. Based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the 5-piece young country rock band tours throughout the midwest, Tennessee, and the occasional jaunt through the rest of the US of A. But no matter how far from home the band might get, one thing is always the same: the songs are made for the people, by the people. Whether rocking and cranking the Fender Twin, or blending through with a lonesome harmony, this band brings it for the people that made us. 'Cause that's who country music belongs to; not the tv host, not the record exec, but to the farmer, the mechanic, the school kid, the rebel, the brokenhearted, and the lonely.
