Midwest Hype was born in a small town in Indiana near “Harbor Country” Michigan. Expanding musical exploration and commitment to perform evolved them into a force of music at Ball State University, adding members from the BSU School of Music. Each band member's unique education, focus and skills collide to produce music that draws fans out of their seats and gets them moving through an entirely original blend of music. One of the most promising young bands in the nation, MWH enjoys a broad and energetic fan base.
Max’s driving force lays down the heartbeat of a mountain-rail locomotive on drums, while Nate’s bass rips out the rubber backbone that acts as a foundation for the rhythm section. Matt “Wayne” Gillon follows suit with acoustic guitar, breathing life into lyrics with gravitas and a personal stake in every note…backed by a full compliment of sounds exacted with blended precision. Reggae tempos streak to alt-hooks and hip-hop breaks flavored with salt and pepper of Ben’s hot, Jazz-scented Sax and Scott’s herbaceous trumpets; all hydrated with backdrops, dives and saves from Kevin on Keys with power conducting through George’s lead guitar as it rains colors across the stage. Together Midwest Hype creates an upbeat party through their performance, capturing audiences on a physical and spiritual journey of polished studio synchronicity infused into an engaging stage presence.
As full and cohesive their sound, each member is an individual with distinct and unique personas deep-rooted in their genuine Midwest upbringings seasoned with the flavor of their generation. As honest as they are with themselves and their music, they are unrelentingly funny people to be around—positive, fun-loving spirits that bring freshness and love to life.
