MuzikMafia

The MuzikMafia is an informal collection of singers, songwriters and musicians. It founded in October of 2001 in Nashville, Tennessee's Pub of Luv. The founders; Big Kenny, John Rich, Jon Nicholson and Cory Gierman (who handles the business end of things); would meet for informal jam sessions every Tuesday night. These four have come to be known as the Godfathers of the MuzikMafia. The word Mafia in the name comes from Musically Artistic Friends In Alliance. Slowly the group expanded to include an ever-growing circle of friends and members from every type of music and even other types of art. The members play a blend of many types of music, from old-fashioned country to the ultra-modern hick-hop of Cowboy Troy and Chance.
