Kansas City Chiefs fans will want to mark Friday, June 3 on their
calendar as a good day to visit Downtown Lee’s summit. The band behind
the theme song of the 2010 Chiefs playoff season “Chop it up” will be
performing at 7p.m. as part of the annual downtown Days, streets alive
festival. Coming all the way from their hometown of Sand Springs,
Oklahoma, Sownds is ready to play all their songs from their first CD
titled “Welcome to the Show.” The three member band recently held a CD
release party, Saturday, March 19 in Tulsa, Oklahoma as part of several
events surrounding an NCAA regional held there. Having their music
related to sports is NO surprise as the band members are all big sports
fans. Lead vocalist Morgan Ganem is a big KC Chiefs and thanks to his
mom’s idea wrote the chant Chop it up. After sending the team a copy of
the song the Chiefs…loved. Loved…it so much that they sent a crew to
Sand Springs to shoot a music video. The popular video showed the band
and many local residents at Sand Springs High School football stadium
doing the chant. In addition to the Chiefs the band find themselves
getting airplay on TV during Fox sports network coverage of the NCAA
tournament. Thanks to a friend in L.A. the band’s song “We need a Hero”
is used during the network highlight footage of the Tournament.
Sownds
consists of vocalist Morgan Ganem, Kipp Clodfelter on guitar and Sean
Hamilton on drums. Ganem developed a love of music as a youth in
Branson, Missouri watching his dad IJ Ganem perform in area shows. While
Sownds’ first CD is now available, some songs are already getting
wideradio airplay in Oklahoma. This writer’s favorite “The Greatest
Goodbye” is growing the band’s popularity. The title track “Welcome to
the Show” is also getting attention from radio programmers. More info on
the band can be found on their website www.sownds.net. Sownds
appearance is only one of the many acts to take the stage at Downtown
Days. For a full entertainment lineup visit the event website at
