Come party with 

KJ & The FunkMaysons

KJ and The FunkMaysons are a 9-piece funk band from Atlanta,Ga. The band formed in 2023 from a collection of funk loving music nerds who met in the Edgewood Neighborhood of Atlanta and who all just couldn't get enough 70’s based improvisational funk music. What began as an instrumental band took a turn when they met Kelly Jewell, whose powerful and distinctive vocals quickly became an integral part of their sound. Their unique brand of entertainment fuses hard hitting grooves and punchy horn lines with unbelievable vocal lines and improvisational wizardry that will make you want to dance all night.

Now hailed as Atlanta’s best rising funk rock artist, KJ and The FunkMaysons have a combined 150 years of entertainment experience. "Fresh music. Just what Atlanta needs!" - Tom Sickler, Local Atlanta Music Enthusiast.

Predawn Pours

When Josh Cole moved to Southeast

Atlanta from Kansas City nearly five years

ago, he knew he would need to find a

musical outlet. Music has been at the

center of his life in one way or another as

long as he can recall. His first outlet turned

out to be open mic at Buteco where he

almost immediately found a partner in

crime in Justin McNeight whilst each were

honing original songs of their own. Justin

had come up through the Atlanta scene as a sound guy, recording engineer,

and member of various bands dating back to the days when flannel and

power chords were peaking.

Around the same time, Josh connected with two fellow neighborhood guys.

Brody had played drums with bands in Athens, Atlanta, and New York

dating back to the late 90s. Jeremy had played bass with local Atlanta

bands in the same timeframe with mostly instrumental and post rock

groups. Both had set music aside when kids came into their lives, but both

were feeling ready to play again.

The result is Predawn Pours; a group of four playing original tunes that

would be at home alongside anything from alt-country and roots rock to

heavier indie … with the occasional cover of the likes of Mt. Joy, Gillian

Welch, REM, etc.

Their live sets are tight but raw with vocals that cover universal themes with

real emotional resonance. Expect some high energy, head nodding tunes

with equal measures of driving, room filling tracks with guitar solos to

match, and a little brooding here and there. But only a little. Odds are good

you will find them playing festivals, beer gardens, breweries, and clubs in

SE Atlanta (and maybe just a bit beyond).

Predawn Pours are:

Joshua Cole - Lead Vocals, Guitar

Justin McNeight - Lead Vocals, Guitar

Jeremy Wilhelm - Bass Guitar

Brody Boyer – Drums
