Billy Martin: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar & Harmonica Will Sutton: Guitar Tim Johnson: Bass Jamie Kelly: Drums Matt Costello: Percussion Frank Kanady: Turntables Joe Mysko: Keyboards www.bighurtband.com www.myspace.com/thebighurt The original core of The Big Hurt began On Kent Island, MD in 1998. Early on, Billy Martin, Will Sutton, Tim Johnson and Frank Kanady began to fuse elements of Rock with Reggae, Funk, Acid Jazz, Ska and Punk with Drum-n-Bass, Go Go and Hip Hop Beats. A couple of chance responses to “musician wanted” ads brought veterans Jamie Kelley and Matt Costello to the fold and right away an amazing chemistry took form. Joe Mysko joins as keyboardist in 2007, who not only brings the most experience to the band but also gives many new directions and possibilities. The result is a sound that can be attributed to a wide variety of musical influences, improvisational skill, and a simple love for GOOD MUSIC. Message from the Band: We pride ourselves in creating good vibes and great music that is accessible to a diverse range of people. We have strived over the years to carve out a sound that will be distinctive in the industry and we always try to capture that feeling live - so if you have the opportunity… come see us. Also, please continue to check out our site from time to time for where and when our next performance will be. We are working hard to make a name for ourselves and appreciate every one who makes it out to see us. Spread the word and continued thanks to everyone for the love and support…. Billy Martin, Will Sutton, Tim Johnson, Frank Kanady, Matt Costello, Jamie Kelley and Joe Mysko - The Big Hurt.
