Ian McGinty is best known for his comic book work with Rick & Morty, Adventure Time and a lot more.

In the spirit of Transcendent Events's Stellar Con, coming to the APGFCU Arena on November 20th, we hopped on a ZOOM call to discuss how he got into the industry, what he's been working on and his years in the Baltimore music scene with Stella Wake Up and Julian Gallows.

He's an artist. He's a musician. He's a voice over actor. And, he's a hell of a cool cat!

Today on the show I’m sitting down with artist and activist, Femi the Drifish, most recently known for his work with his Out of Water Experience. Femi is a larger than life personality and a Mid-Atlantic wordsmith with a tendency to weave theater, spoken word and slam poetry into his musical compositions.

He’s a talented and thoughtful musician, teacher and father with a worldly and otherworldly background – a background that can’t help but find its way into the soundtrack of his journey. Join me in welcoming Femi to The MOG!

Rest your bones for a special Halloween edition of the MOG podcast with Kevin Noonkester of Following Lights and Mr. Old Year and Gary Holmes of Skitzo Calypso, We Love the Underground and [occasionally] Veteran Avenue.

It should be no surprise that horror films have inspired some spooky music, with bands like, The Cramps, The Misfits, Dokken, Blue Oyster Cult and more, so, today we’re goin’ to talk about the movies and their marriage with rock n’ roll.
 
 There will be no tricks today, only treats…sit back and enjoy, if you dare!

On this show, I’m welcoming a man who deserves his own rock n’ roll introduction music – a man many of us have seen 'round town; at a show, gettin’ the low down on the down low. He’s a rock n’ roll journalist with a lot of ‘Experience’ and isn’t afraid to do his job, even if it means pissing off a beyond their prime 80’s rock outfit.

One part Steve Vai and another, Share Gardner, a legend birthed as Modern Pain of Rock n' Roll Experience is here to dish out the dirt and goods on some of your favorite local, regional and national acts. I’m excited to have him. Let’s welcome the ‘Pain’ to the Mouthful of Graffiti podcast.

Kelly Bell Band:

Blues Revue Magazine describes the Kelly Bell Band (KBB) as “Among the most genre-expanding acts on today’s blues scene. Who else can combine elements of hip-hop, funk, and blues-electrified here” Originally formed as the back-up band for rock and roll pioneer, Bo Diddley, KBB has been touring the world ever since entertaining fans in Japan, Spain, Italy, Greece, Cuba, Germany and more.

The band has won two prestigious Maryland Music Awards, including “Best Blues Band.” In 2018 they were been nominated for “Music Icon”. KBB has been voted “Best Blues Band” in the Mid Atlantic Region (12 years in a row), and was recently named “Best Band” by Baltimore Style Magazine.

“The Kelly Bell Band is exactly the kind of genre-bending, rule-breaking, and color-smearing group the music scene of 2019 desperately needs. The Kelly Bell Band lives outside of all the lines and freely mixes blues, funk, rock, metal, hip-hop, and more into a compelling fusion of musical styles.” – Mike O’Cull, Rock And Blues Muse

Their debut album, ‘Phat Blues Music’ remains one of the best selling releases in Mid-Atlantic region history. In addition to Kelly’s role as front man, Bell is a regular on area radio shows, commercials, television news and several television and movie appearances.

Kelly Bell, known as ‘The Bluesman’, is joined by vocalist Rahsaan “Wordslave” Eldridge, Ryan Fowler and Eric Robinson (guitar), Frankie Hernandez (bass), John Robert Buell (drums) and Dane Paul Russell (harmonica). The band are active in supporting our military, playing shows regularly for our troops. KBB believes in providing both physical and emotional support to our nation’s soldiers through Navy Entertainment.

KBB doesn’t take any show or appearance for granted. Their goal remains to always put on the best show every night entertaining fans through their stage show, music and audience interaction. The band can be found conversing with fans before and after shows. They make it a point to sign items and pose for photos with fans after each performance.

Tickets for the event are available at: Tickets.Harford.Edu

You may know Athena Hiotis from her early musical years in Baltimore's own Playground Etiquette, her more recent art-alternative project, RÊVE, which is described as a fusion of cinematic, indie rock sounds with stunning visuals and a visceral performances or you may have heard the other projects she's involved with, like Steep Steps and Circuit Villains.

No matter where you heard the name Athena Hiotis, one thing is for certain, you know her dedication to her craft and that she’s always looking for new ways to splash the pallet were her colorful and poetic lyrics and complex, but catchy, instrumentation.

She’s here today to talk about where it started, where it’s going and the LINK that holds it all together. Join me in welcoming Athena to The MOG.
