The Big Hurt

About The Big Hurt

Not confined to one musical style or genre, The Big Hurt melds elements of Alternative Rock, Reggae, Acid Jazz, Hip-Hop, Funk, Drum-n-Bass, Ska, Punk, Latin, and Go-Go. Music without Boundaries. Stay The original core of The Big Hurt began On Kent Island, MD in 1998. Early on, Billy Martin, Will Sutton, Tim Johnson and Frank Kanady began to fuse elements of Rock with Reggae, Funk, Acid Jazz, Ska and Punk with Drum-n-Bass, Go Go and Hip Hop Beats. A couple of chance responses to “musician wanted” ads brought veterans Jamie Kelley and Matt Costello to the fold and right away an amazing chemistry took form. The result is a sound that can be attributed to a wide variety of musical influences, improvisational skill, and a simple love for GOOD MUSIC.
