KMG Studios, Denver’s hottest recording studio is turning the heat up a notch this Friday with a stellar lineup for the first KMG Fest. The innovative festival will be chock full of singers and songwriters who were hand-picked by KMGLife Inc’s CEO Greg Kimble. A singer, songwriter and musician himself, Kimble has crafted a lineup to remember set to take the stage at The Gothic Theatre on Friday August 1^st.

 

For the KMG family, the heat has been on all summer, as the recording roster of independent artists has grown tremendously over the past few months. The KMG Festival is the culminating effort of hard work, dedication and unbridled talent. The lineup consists of a solo performance from Becca Krueger, The KMG Players (featuring the vocal stylings of Greg Kimble, Cayla Kimble, Ashley Kisner and Becca Krueger), The Taylor Scott Band, and 1892 Band led by David Corboy.

 

A celebration of performers who emanate creativity, charisma and just great music, this festival is designed to showcase the most dynamic aspects of the Denver Music Scene. Becca Krueger recently performed in Phoenix for the 2014 Liquid Soul Music Festival with The KMG Players and The Taylor Scott Band is on the last legs of their European tour. Upon the successful release of 1892 Bands’ album Gypsy House, the band has been lighting up the Denver music scene ever since.

 

The Gothic Theatre will set the tone for soulful tunes, impeccable performances and a celebration of sound on August 1^st. Tickets are available here.

Inity Weekly (CO) and Rockers Movement (NY/FL) are joining forces in celebrating Mandela Day with St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands-based roots reggae band, Midnite. The event will be held on July 18^th at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom in Denver.

Midnite has gained a massive Grateful Dead-like following and has transcended genres with their experimental and trance reggae sound. The “chant-and-call” style and heavy conscious lyrics of Midnite’s Vaughn Benjamin enhances the band’s music, attracting a diverse, progressive and intellectual crowd.

The overarching objective of Mandela Day is to inspire individuals to take action to help change the world for the better. It is ultimately a call to action for people to recognize their ability to have a positive effect on others around them.

We are encouraging people to register an action of service on the Mandela Day website (MandelaDay.com). Individuals and organizations are free to participate in Mandela Day as they wish, as long as there is adherence to the ethical framework of “service to one’s fellow human”. Ultimately, the Mandela Day event featuring Midnite seeks to empower communities in Denver and beyond.

Supporting acts are Ghanaian/Boulder-based Reggae/Afropop band, Selasee and the Fafa Family, and 2014 Westword Music Award nominee, Rastasaurus.

Music for the night will be provided by Nikka T of Joseph Starr Sound, who is also a winner of the Cannabis Cup many times over, as the mastermind of Essential Extracts.
