The band Guy Franklin bio:
Christian rock bands don't often find mainstream media outlets profiling them. But the band Guy Franklin, a popular group among the faithful, has recently released their 2nd album. Perhaps it is Guy Franklin's mainstream rock appeal that attracts attention. It's not the first time that a faith-based band has attempted to make a difference in the Christian music scene. With a seemingly endless menu of emerging Christian artists, the band Guy Franklin makes its mark by writing bold lyrics about life, faith, and living in a modern society where compromise is the norm. Interestly it's not only Christians who are buying Guy Franklin's albums. Somehow, the band has been able to attract non-believers as well. Many times, crossover groups frustrate Bible-believers and are seen as abandoning the faith. But in this case, the band has been able to appeal to both sides of the aisle - a rarity in the modern music world.

““(The year) 2014 is where things will significantly kick up,” says Frankie Gump, frontman of the Christian hard rock band, Guy Franklin. The band released its second record, “Awakening,” on Aug. 27. Now it’s stocking its merch table, and rehearsing to hit the road and promote the new album.
==“Awakening” was recorded last year at Timeline Studios in Fort Myers, Fla. Tyler Kluesner co-wrote the songs with Gump and Scott Bush produced the music. When Gump finished the record, he knew just who to call to put together a backing band: Kevin Kyle.
Guy Franklin’s sound appeals to both Christian and secular listeners. “We’re a hard rock/metal band,” says Gump. “With our music, it’s a positive message. Drugs, sex and rock ‘n’ roll – that’s not what you get from us. We’re not bible-thumping people either. That’s not our mission.”
Gump says there’s enough negativity in popular music.”

“Months of speculation came down to one big announcement Monday night when the top two talents of the Kosciusko’s Got Talent contest were announced during the open ceremony of the Kosciusko County Community Fair. Over 35 entries were received in our talent contest, but only two emerged on top as voted on by our readers. Winning the contest, and the $1,000 prize, was Plaxton & The Void, an acoustic Indie rock group.
Separated only by 15 votes, the runner-up was the Guy Franklin Band, a Christian hard rock group comprised of Frankie Gump, vocals and guitar; Kevin Kyle, lead guitars; Mario Young, bass guitar; and Brandon Bussard, drums.
Kosciusko’s Got Talent was made possible by our generous sponsors: Pay Pro Media, Kuert Concrete, Bishop Farms, Tom Farms, Monteith’s Best One Tire, The Sleepy Owl, Louis Dreyfus Commodities, Eagle Creek Firearms & Archery, Paragon Medical and the Kosciusko County Community Fair.”
