For Mycal Shroyer, making it big doesn’t mean sitting and waiting for something to happen. Leaving his Northeast Ohio life behind just a year ago, he ventured to Nashville to tackle his dreams of becoming a musician.
Noted for his two explosive local bands, The Bees Knees and Late Night Caption, 19-year-old Shroyer was a well-known up-and-coming musician in the Kent area. Growing up close by in Akron, OH and playing at venues such as The Vineyard and The Rathskeller, his ska stylings and clever lyrics caused a local buzz throughout his high school years.
In order to get the most out of his talent and ambition, Shroyer enrolled at the SAE Institute of Technology in the heart of Nashville’s Music Row District. Surrounded by a treasure chest of recording and production equipment, Shroyer found himself in the perfect place to pursue his music career.
“Being here since September has really changed me,” Shroyer says. “City life is fast and unforgiving. It has opened my eyes to being not so provincial.”
Although he gained notoriety in Kent for his charismatic onstage presence, entertaining crowds and earning a devoted fan base, Shroyer’s focus has shifted to more behind-the-scenes production in Nashville. Using his experiences with The Bees Knees and Late Night Caption to strengthen his songwriting, Shroyer is excited to move in a different direction in conjunction with his new surroundings.

Galgozy/Zeleny Duo is a wonderful fusion of original songs and traditional styles. Forming in 2008, the duo from the beginning has been in demand for their lilting and progressive sound. This duet is fast becoming a recognized musical experience.
The 35-year difference in their ages is in itself unusual, but the common musical interests they share spans decades of American folk art. Their original songs balance words and melody, songs that have a high degree of creativity and spontaneity – no doubt why folks of all ages are coming to see these two very talented and imaginative musicians. As they weave their ever-expanding repertoire, they bridge the ever-widening cultural gap and leave a memorable musical impression and a sense of community.
