About The MG Band
THE MG Band consists of 20 professional vocalists and musicians, who were never all together in the studio at the same time. Various artists played on various songs. Most of us live in Denver except for Kenny who lives in New York City (Brooklyn, to be exact). He recorded his parts in New York and Brian mixed them in the Denver studio. Many of us were raised in different places. I grew up in the great city of Salina, Kansas. My daughters were born there. Ashley is from Canada. JP is from Orlando. We came from different places, but the Lord brought us together.
What makes this album different/unique is that we play six different genres: Pop, Jazz, Blues, Christian, Gospel, and 1950's Rock and Roll.
As a songwriter, I am thrilled to have these amazing professional musicians and vocalists on this album. Our ages span over 40 years, from 23 - 64. The musicians, vocalists, sound engineer, graphic design artist, videographer, photographers, web designers, administrator, and agent are the best of the best at what they do.
