MEWZ Kentucky Music & Entertainment Newz

Mewz met Manitoba at the Bearded Mans Music Festival (2021) at Growing Stones Campground in McKee Ky. They put on a high energy live performance with a 90's feel, and I was instantly hooked. This muy bueno super group even have their own nachos on the menu at Don Senor's in their hometown of Richmond.  
I hung out with the band in their Richmond studio, where they talked about ten years of being Manitoba on the day of the latest album release.

Before I made Mewz, I made indie films with a crew called  Showhouse Productions. It's still a craft that is dear to my heart and when I was attending a music event, I was introduced to Steve Middleton. Musician with The Ramblers and also a fellow film maker. Steve had just finished a production on a topic also dear to my heart, Ruth Hunt Candies. These little blue mondays had been a long time favorite treat and Steve had all the fun facts and details about the process of making a film and the candy itself.

Morehead was my home for half a decade, The Venue was the first place to make me feel like  a real journalist. Then owners (2021) Damon and Hannah made me feel at home and treated me like a professional, even put a little name tag on my table... and made me  a mind blowing bourbon cocktail. It was my 38th birthday, and I was celebrating with some of the regions finest singer songwriters.   Personal Note* this was my very first experience with the 'singer songwriter round' set up,  Four artists on stage take turns singing and talking about their songs. Since this event, these types of rounds have become my favorite at any festival. The Venue is now under new management and will be reopening soon. We will be back to check out the new scene, until then, here's the interview from that night.

Mewz started out under the name A Voice in the Mountains, we were on the morning show with Farron and Scott on WSGS 101.1 out of the Queen City of the Mountains, Hazard Kentucky. 
The show began as a friendly singing contest among local musicians who hadn't previously been featured on radio.  Over one thousand people voted in our first round, and I knew I had found a formula that could , if nourished, provide a platform for vast amount of talent hidden in the coalfields.  
Our first episode featured Eddie Jenkins, a musician, father and now magistrate in in home county. Eddie's understanding of music and appreciation for the process grew naturally over a number of years and he is currently nominated for a 2024 Appalachian Arts and Entertainment Award for best Cover Band or Variety Act with his band The 606.
