Jae Esquire - Force of Nature

Photo Credit: Mitchell Multimedia from Live at the Garden 3

Jae Esquire is a force of nature. A talented emcee whose also put in time as a keyboard player, having collaborated with amongst others Central Ohio's own G. Finesse. 

Jae had an awesome performance at Live at the Garden 3. A fifteen minute hip hop slot (that got shorted from 30 due to some issues with the bar stage) ended up being all she needed to win over the ample crowd. Jae Esquire's performance was hot and on point and she became one of the most talked about performers of the night. 

Jae Esquire has this thing about her, she's good with people. At a recent Wild Goose show I introduced two young fans to her, she greeted them with smiles and free CD's! They were immediately sold. 

Jae has that affect on you. Whether its watching her perform, passionately, thoughtfully, charismatically and on point, or just talking with her before or after the set, she's polite, friendly, funny and engaging. 

Talking about her stage flow, she's awesome. Rapid fire technique, intelligent messages and intense delivery. You need to check out Jae Esquire.

Nathaniel M Grosh is a husband / father / frontman and more. He fronts  Central Ohio band Conversion Delay, a sick 4-piece onslaught of heavy goth/industrial/punk/ROCK. I can't say enough about Conversion Delay. Catch them live, check out their band camp. Their latest album is really rad. 

He's currently working his ass off as one of the organizers of Live at the Garden 3 (a performing and fine arts festival to be held February 7th noon-midnight in Columbus, Ohio's historic The Garden Theater, $5 all day passes). Nathaniel's responsible for much of the design work for the festival, and has a heavy hand in fest social media / correspondence and more.

Nathaniel's a talented designer and sick front man/songwriter/composer. He's always has a sick creative vision that shows in everything he does.

New Music from Nate Mays

Nate Mays posted a video about a day ago of a new song he's working on. It's pretty sweet, acoustic, raw and awesome. Read the lyrics below, check out the video-link at the bottom of this page. 

lyrics:

I know sometimes things don't work out how you planned.  I've been living in my car you know. I'm trying to find a van today.  And I'm hustling at department stores, I don't want to steal anything, at least not from my family no more.  But I'd rob the shit out of our corrupt capitalist fucked up government because they rob us every day and they have so much money I know they don't need that shit like me. Like me. Like me. 

I'm thinking a lot about God and how if he were real I would've gotten clean like 4 or 5 years, but if not then how the fuck am I still alive and not rotting away in a filthy prison cell. Oh God. I'm probably going to hell.
