The Paramedics

Artist Information

Biography

“The Paramedics” was founded in 2009 by two best friends, Ben Bush (guitar) and Nick Kalenak (drums), who’d been playing together for two years. They first met Justin Gaworski (Bass/Lead Vocals) at a jam session at the Jazz Estate. Justin clicked with the other two and soon filled the vacancy left by a previous bassist. Within a week “The Paramedics” played their first show and never lost momentum. All three draw influence from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, Dub Trio, and Bob Marley. They’ve done shows for audiences at "The Rave" in Milwaukee WI, numerous basement shows in South Eastern Wisconsin, "The Double Door" in Chicago IL, Neenah WI's "Rock Island Café," Milwaukee’s “Home-Brewed Festival," "Reggies Rock Club" in Chicago, Madison's WI's "The Frequency", "Hauntapalooza" fest in Belgium WI, "One of Life's Perks" Coffee House in Los Angeles CA, multiple shows with "Gorilla," "Supernova" and "Afton" Productions and numerous more around the state of Wisconsin. The band is based in Brookfield, Wisconsin and have kept acquainted with the Milwaukee music scene. Their indescribable sound goes hand in hand with the band's unique musical influences. Their stage presence is one of a kind, from jumping into the audience to behind-the-head guitar solo’s. Their passion for music is rare, which has made them one of Milwaukee’s most dynamic music talents.

  Why should you win: "The paramedics deserve to win because they are a great band with tons of soul that only wishes to be heard just like many other bands. They have a lot of talent and a great love for music," Gaworski said.
