July 25, 2014

There is a great band I have to tell you about and that is Homemade Crazy.

Homemade Crazy is Breezy Ortega (keyboard synthesis, vocals), Max Kugler (percussion), Aaron Paiz (bass), and Koby Blake (vocals, guitar) and was formed in 2012 in Southwest Nebraska. The band’s approach to music, especially their live show, is to translate their love and joy of music combined with sharing their own individual stories through their songs. Homemade Crazy are ready to unleash their fun pop rock songs on their debut album, Synergy which is set for an August 19th release. Homemade Crazy’s vocal duo of Ortega and Blake will capture your attention with emotionally charged lyrics and melodies that will stick with you for days at a time.
