Local Motive: Music to Move You
If you want country music to move you, try Kalamazoo's own Local Motive. In 2003, when local musicians Chad Thompson, Mike McLain, Ken Sullivan and Dave Johnson released their debut CD, 'Runaway Train', people began to hear harmony and lyrics like they'd never heard from a local band. And the wheels started to turn.Now the boys travel Michigan, opening for national acts such as Highway 101, Ronnie McDowell & Stella Parton, and also headlining some of their own. Just recently, they released their sophomore CD, 'Rhythm of the Rails', a clean blend of witty and poetic originals, layered with rich and soulful four-part harmony. Their love for what they do can fill an auditorium.
Local Motive is on it's way. Take a ride without leaving town.
