Mikeschair Biography
Birthed out of a black hole of dirty socks and empty pizza
boxes, Curb Records’ new pop-driven rock band, MIKESCHAIR found their raw
beginnings in Pembroke Hall #106 at Belmont University. Between late-night study
sessions and never-ending video games the members of the band became friends,
discovered similar and new musical passions which slowly developed into a
full-fledged band.
“We never set out to form a band, but from the very
beginning, it was evident that God’s hand was in this,” explains bassist Jon
Haire. “As we begin to walk down this road together we wanted to create
something that reflected our desire for musical integrity and communicated the
message we all shared to positively influence young people and give back to the
community.”
With this goal in mind, the members of MIKESCHAIR set out to
become more than just another generic rock band. All bands are influenced
through their youth by great musicians and popular icons, but when it comes to
developing a unique “sound” the truly great create a musical hybrid which
strikes listeners as strangely familiar yet refreshingly original.
Beyond the typical favorites (Beatles, U2, Coldplay, etc.) MIKESCHAIR
references the early music that caught their attention—Stevie Wonder, Radiohead,
James Taylor, Nine Inch Nails, Jimmy Eat World, Patty Griffin, Jars of Clay and
many others. While this list of musical greats represent a hodge-podge of
genres, their collective influences have helped MC create a sound laden with
rich texture and rhythm laced together with memorable pop melodies and
thoughtful lyrics.
Grayson’s warm vocals and Jesse Hale’s violin create
a unique atmosphere in which the group’s collaborative songwriting efforts can
brilliantly shine through. Additionally, with guitarist Sam Tinnesz’s rock-based
hooks and Haire’s accomplished bass abilities, it is easy to see why they went
from Belmont’s dorm room to Curb’s reputable roster so quickly.
“It
sounds a bit presumptuous to say, ‘it’s about the music, stupid,’ but it is
about the music, stupid,” laughs Tinnesz, “and all the hype, vibe and attitude
in the world can’t hide mediocre music and bad songs. And fortunately the public
isn’t stupid!” Tinnesz continues, “They recognize and respond to great material
and exciting performances.”
Exciting it is! Based on early response to
MIKESCHAIR’s performance, it is every bit as compelling as their recorded music.
Haire comments, “You can sit in a studio with all of today’s technology and
create something that sounds really good, but the rubber hits the road when you
stand in front of a crowd. It’s in that situation that the connection really
happens between artists, audience, and music.
Along with their move from
a college band to the world of professional music, the band moved out of the
dorm and into East Nashville: a reviving community interwoven with low income
housing and residents with great need. Across the street from the house where
three of the members live they discovered a church that was directly responding
to the call of Jesus to feed the poor. “We saw in this church,” comments Hale,
“a living example of what Jesus has asked all of us to do. This inspired us to
somehow figure out how we could use the talent and platform God has given us and
literally give back to the communities where we were going to perform. We felt
convicted that it would somehow be untrue to the mission of the band to just
drive into a city, play for an audience, pick up a check and leave. We wanted to
give something tangible back to the people who opened their doors so that we
could play music.”
From the example of the church, the members of
MIKESCHAIR decided that from then on they would request every attendee bring a
food item to get into their concerts. MIKESCHAIR is committed to give this food,
along with an additional bag of groceries donated by the band themselves, to
either a local family in need or a food bank of the promoter’s choice.
Grayson says of the band’s direction and vision, “We realize that, in
this day and age, most promoters are tired of artists coming in and just taking
from the local community and also that listeners are responding to great songs
but quite often don’t even know the names of the artists singing their favorite
songs. We’re not arrogant enough to think that we are the exception.” Grayson
continues, “…so as a band we feel we must respond to God’s call on our lives as
a group while earning the ear of the listener. The only way we know how to do
this is to use the gifts God has given us to write great songs, create music
that touches the heart of our culture, and give as God has freely given to us.”
