Check out the new sitcom inspired music video from Cleveland Rockers Hey Monea

Cleveland rockers Hey Monea have recently released their new album The Fifty and today are unleashing their new sitcom inspired music video for their song, Ghetto Family. As the video pays homage to the cheesy 70s sitcoms, Nate Monea comments, “We see our friends and family from our hometown of Canton, Ohio as a lovable ragtag group of rascals that would feel right at home in a broadcast comedy…

Hey Monea’s “The Fifty”

Pop/rock band Hey Monea recently released their latest record, The Fifty, on October 23, 2015.

The record features musical assortments that fit well into the band’s repertoire, which is, as singer Dan Monea describes, “everything from pop/rock to country, to blues to straight up rock ‘n’ roll.”

The variety on the album is apt, given that the record pays homage to the United States -- the band found influence for the record from life on tour and visiting different cities.

Stand-outs include up-tempo tracks such as “Ghetto Family” and the titular track, which boast toe-tapping beats, a full band and showcase Dan Monea’s vocal range.

The cheeky “Buenos Noches” harps on Hey Monea’s country roots, interweaving mariachi influences with a Zac Brown Band flair. The band describes the track on their website as “how love might, at times, bridge the language barrier in our diverse country.” The song’s chorus instantly draws the listener in, with Monea crooning “Buenos noches, that is the only Spanish that I know/But I am here at your flamenco show/this might sound crazy but I think I love you...”

Hey Monea’s song-writing abilities are on full display throughout the record, but it is their harmonies that really shine through on tracks such as “Lost at Sea” and Honey Do,” which play upon Hey Monea’s folk/rock influences.

One song to keep on repeat is “Number One,” a personal favorite and a track which calls to mind everything from Billy Joel to Gavin DeGraw with its grit and piano heavy medley, truly showcasing the band’s talents.

Be sure to pick up a copy of The Fifty, which is available on iTunes and Amazon.

Album Review: Hey Monea's "The Fifty"

Album Review: Hey Monea’s “The Fifty”

“Oh Lord, please make me be filthy rich.” If Hey Monea keeps on this track with their music, I don’t think they’ll have to wait long. The Fifty is an upbeat, peppy collection of rock and country sound that is full of catchy tunes and memorable lyrics. Your head easily bobs to the beat, and you can’t help but listen to the album over and over again. “Filthy Rich” is a song that any struggling…

Hey Monea

Hey Monea is a trio whose music is instantly catchy and heartwarming. The band includes Dan Monea (vocals, guitar, piano), Nate Monea (percussion, vocals) and Adam Orin (bass, mandolin, steel guitar).

Brothers Dan and Nate grew up playing music and performing at local coffee shops and open mics since they were 16 and 13, respectively, and joined forces with Adam nearly ten years ago. Since then, the band has increased their fan base and popularity across the country.

The band’s music can be described as everything from pop/rock to country, to blues (or, as Dan puts it, “straight up rock and roll”). They point to musical inspirations such as Jackson Browne, the Beatles and the Eagles.

In 2012, Hey Monea got a big break when they won a worldwide battle of the bands competition. Dan noted that the band chose to enter after their friends from Buffalo, NY had won the year before. “The prize was good, and we were looking for a spark to take our career to the next level,” Dan notes. They entered the competition in Cleveland, Ohio (their hometown). After 2-3 weeks, the band made it to the next round, where they competed against bands from 91 other cities. The group encouraged their fans to vote through social media, and ultimately made the top 10, which was judged exclusively by music industry executives. A couple of months after winning the competition, the band reaped the full rewards of the contest and opened for Bruce Springsteen in London: “that was unimaginable. We played for a crowd of 60,000 people – it was nothing we have ever seen before, and changed us forever.”

Hey Monea is currently working on their next record, The Fifty, which is due out October 31. As Hey Monea gets ready to release their upcoming record (“it’s 90% done,” Dan admits), they are gearing up for their next headlining tour, as well.

The band is currently on tour supporting Tony Lucca, which they describe as “amazing – we are lucky to travel with an established artist like Tony and check out a lot of cities we haven’t been to before.” They are getting ready to return to some of the same cities and revisit their new fans in November for a three-week tour, which will span across the Northeast, Southeast and Midwest. In December, Hey Monea will play holiday shows in their hometown, before traveling to Guatemala with their label, Noble Steed Music, to support the MILE Organization with fellow musicians. Their whirlwind tour will continue on into January, where Hey Monea will be a part of Sister Hazels’ The Rock Boat XVI. Dan describes the 5-day cruise as a “floating festival,” in which the band will join other artists, including Gavin DeGraw and Bronze Radio Return on a trip form Miami to Costa Maya and Grand Cayman.
