Michael J Media Group

Madison based PR company About the Michael J. And who doesn’t want to be heard? That’s why Mike Farley started his PR company, Michael J. Media Group, in 2002.

Media Group

Getting the word out about your band is hard work, but it’s vital for any musical artist who wants to be heard. Mike had achieved quite a bit of regional success as an artist in Cleveland, Ohio, and decided to put his strong networking skills to good use by helping other acts achieve maximum exposure regionally, nationally and online. After building up his business while living in Cle

veland, and then in Nashville for seven years, Mike now lives in Madison, Wisconsin and has become one of the most sought-after indie publicists in the business. Current and former clients include Kate Voegele, David Mayfield Parade, JD Souther, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers, Will Kimbrough, John McEuen (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), Jason & the Scorchers, Monte Montgomery, Kim Richey, Flyleaf, Todd Snider, Al Di Meola, Poco, Pure Prairie League, The Samples, Kentucky Headhunters, Badfish (Tribute to Sublime), Guy Clark, The Greencards, Ludo, Firefall, and Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk. The Mike Farley Band released four independent albums and was voted Best Rock Band by the Cleveland Free Times two years in a row. Mike and his band opened for such artists as Dave Matthews, Tori Amos, Edwin McCain and the Pretenders. His songs have been placed on ABC-TV’s All My Children, as well as on various MTV show and ESPN’s X-Games. In addition, the Houston Astros baseball team licensed Mike’s song “Play Ball” for their team video, which was shown in Minute Maid Park for every home game during the 2003 season. Mike also released an acoustic album, Moments and Memories, in 2007, and The Mike Farley Band played a reunion show in 2010 with plans to record again soon.

ALBUM REVIEW: Loud or Soft, WILL KIMBROUGH Gets It Out of His System on ‘For the Life of Me’. Thanks No Depression

Will Kimbrough is still collaborating, having written much of the album with others. But a common thread on this solo album is that from the wreckage wrought by life we should feel gratitude. "For the Life of Me" is an unqualified expression of love.

WILL KIMBROUGH's Uplifting New Single 'Every Day' Out Today (broadwayworld.com)

Folkies, even the ones with a good dose of country in their sound, tend to create quiet, introspective songs that are designed to pack a subtle but no less potent punch. Revered, multi-talented folk-Americana artist Will Kimbrough doesn’t quite fit that mold, and it is most evident on the 11 track...
