Band Members: Joel Kemps (lead vocals and guitar), is a veteran musician who has been playing in bands and worship teams for over forty years. His music is inspired by his past life experiences. Kemps wants to keep “Indigenous American Music (Blues and early Rock), at the center of his style.” “This style of music is disappearing and I want to keep it alive in the hearts of my fellow Americans.” “Music is an art form and I want people to enjoy this art form.”
Mike Brenner (bass guitar) became re-involved in music 5 years ago after a 20 year hiatus to raise a family. A native of Cleveland, Mike spent his formative years studying classical guitar, piano and music theory. As Cleveland became a “proving ground” for many professional musicians, Mike developed a wide acceptance of various types of music and styles. On a recent work assignment to San Francisco, Mike spent a majority of his free time along Fisherman’s Warf listening to the street musicians and typically ended up at Lou’s, where he was to become “hooked” on the Blues. When the opportunity presented itself, Mike joined Joel Kemps and Mike Cline to form “Big Nation”.
Mike Cline (drums and percussion) is a Merced, California native who has played drums locally in marching, concert and jazz bands from the age of 8 all the way through college. He has played drums and percussion professionally now for over 35 years. Mike has a versatile playing style that incorporates many different genre’s. His attitude towards the Blues is influenced by his Rock background, which fuses into a unique style that drives the band.
