Menchville Rocks 2018 will see the first performance by a new Menchville rock band- Reverends of Rhythm. The band, comprised of sophomores Michael Keel, Michael Garrett, and Jay Richardson, will be playing their favorite rock music to excite the crowd.

Reverends of Rhythm have only been playing together for one month, but the individual members are experienced. Michael Garrett participated in Menchville Rocks last year as a guitarist in the band Sound Affects, and Richardson and Keel are both experienced with musical performances as part of school groups.

Though they have only been playing together for a short time, the band say they play well together. Said Keel, “Performing together is very fun, and I enjoy it a lot.”

Reverends of Rhythm chose to enter Menchville Rocks this year for the same reason many acts do- because it “seems like a good experience.” Going into the performance on Thursday, February 22, the band is feeling ready and excited. Said Keel on the group’s pre-concert feelings, “I feel great and prepared.”
