My Radio

Band,
Singer of Rock

My Radio is a melodic rock accident that happened in Southwest Virginia when singer/songwriter JP Powell (Chauncey, Bleu and My Favorite Relative) left Boston for Roanoke and ran into drummer Hunter Johnson (Justin Jones) at a coffee shop. My Radio quickly added guitarist Brett Lemon and bassist Jeff Hofmann to round out the group that has been playing small theaters (Dumas and Jefferson), venues (Iota, The Mercury Lounge, Arlene’s Grocery, The Lizard Lounge, Local 506, Kirk Ave Music Hall, Eddie’s Attic, Milkboy, etc.), colleges, and festivals (Floyd Fest, DownXdowntown, Steppin’ Out) throughout Virginia, North/South Carolina, DC, Philly, NYC and Boston. After self-releasing their debut CD titled “Give Us The Sun,” My Radio signed with Ocean Park Music Group out of Santa Monica, California. In addition to landing Fox Sports placements, the song “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah” is featured in the movie, as well as the associated trailer and soundtrack of, The Joneses (Demi Moore and David Duchovny), which was released on April 16, 2010. At that same time, My Radio was the featured artist on MTV.com. “Ourstage,” an MTV affiliate, has actively promoted My Radio. They are quoted as stating that My Radio writes “ridiculously catchy songs” that exhibit “hooks and grit culled from years of listening to the Stones and Elvis Costello, with some Remy Zero pop sensibility thrown in.” In the following year, “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah” again struck gold with a featured placement in the very first episode of Showtime’s award winning “Homeland.” So basically My Radio then had cash in pocket while maintaining
