Jon Wayne and the Pain

JWP at People's Court

So far, this has been a cold week.  I've been listening to a lot of pick me up music.  Mainly, it has been a lot of artists that I have seen at music festivals over the summer.  For starters, my playlist has consisted of a lot of Jon Wayne and the Pain.  I first saw them a few years ago at People's Court in Des Moines.  They were one of my brother's favorite bands and after seeing them live, I was instantly hooked.  If you haven't heard of them I'm not surprised; they aren't signed by a major label but they produce awesome music.  They classify themselves as a reggae-rock-dub-step trio.

The guys (Jon Wayne, Chuck E., and Teeto) hail from the Minnesota region, and intend to spread love at every show. Not only do they make music that moves your soul, but they are also amazing people.  I have met and hung out with them multiple times before and after their shows.  They are genuine and down to earth, and just want to spread their stories through their music.  We all have a story to tell, and they do so through their tunes, reaching out to the audience with experiences we can all relate to in some way or another.  The band also tours with a lot of other musicians that I really enjoy, which you can be sure I will    try and turn you on to, as well. 

Go ahead, give them a listen. (:
