Personal Public

PERSONAL PUBLIC began as a small creative project between high school friends Tony herrmann and Jordan mcvey. the project blossomed into a small band consisting of the two and eventually added lead singer/rhythm guitarist cody contner into the mix a few years after. Shortly after meeting contner,herrmann, and mcvey would begin recording an ep in a small studio where the three-piece band would meet their future bassist, myles claybourne. after releasing their ep in the fall of 2015, the band began playing shows all over the city of Columbus, oh, as well as surrounding cities such as Cincinnati and athens, oh. after playing out for a full year, the band took on their fifth and final member, lead guitarist ben canton. since their advent into the columbus music scene, the band has played many iconic venues in the columbus area, such as the newport music hall, skully's music diner, the a&r Music diner, the basement, and a sold out show with J Roddy Walston & the business at Express Live!. Some other big acts include trevor hall, Declan mckenna, Cas haley, the weeks, priory, best coast, DMA's, and Artifex Pereo. The band fuses classic and alternative rock sensibilities with unmistakably catchy synth lines and inventive song-writing that propels their brand of music to new and interesting heights for the listener both live, or in their own headphones. Personal Public is currently in the process of recording their first full length record and is slated to release fall of 2016.
