“The Paramedics” was founded in 2009 by two best friends, Ben Bush (guitar) and Nick Kalenak (drums), who’d been playing together for two years. They first met Justin Gaworski (Bass/Lead Vocals) at a jam session at the Jazz Estate. Justin clicked with the other two and soon filled the vacancy left by a previous bassist. Within a week “The Paramedics” played their first show and never lost momentum. All three draw influence from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, Dub Trio, and Bob Marley. They’ve done shows for audiences at Walworth County’s “Bigfoot High School’s Battle of The Bands,” The Rave’s “Rave Bar,” St. Dominic’s “St. Dom. Days,” Nathan Hale High School's "Hale-A-Palooza" music festival, The Brass Bell's "Battle Of The Bands," The "Rally In The Alley" Block Party, numerous basement shows in South Eastern Wisconsin, WSMA's State Battle of The Band's "Launch-Pad," The Bluemound Bowl’s “Party Room,” Neenah, WI's "Rock Island Café," Milwaukee’s “Home-Brewed Festival," multiple shows with "Gorilla" and "Supernova" Productions and numerous more around Milwaukee. The band is from Brookfield, Wisconsin but they have kept acquainted with the Milwaukee music scene. Their indescribable sound goes hand in hand with the band's unique musical influences. Their stage presence is one of a kind, from jumping into the audience to behind-the-head guitar solo’s. Their passion for music is rare, which has made them one of Milwaukee’s most dynamic music talents.
