Gaetz Avenue

Gaetz Avenue is a band featuring the duo of Benjamin Mullen and Danielle Heykants, exploded onto the scene singing “Here I Go” a song with a fast moving pop/rock beat. Immediately Heykants took control of the crowd. The lady knows how to work a crowd and has unbelievable stage presence for someone new to the scene. Mullen’s command of the keyboards was worth the price of admission in itself. “Rescue Me” was a folk/rock song featuring Heykants on the guitar. The two harmonize together splendidly creating some catchy hooks as in the aforementioned “Here I Go”.

Many of those in attendance probably had no idea who Gaetz Avenue was before the concert because they were here to see and listen to Downhere, however fans swarmed Gaetz Avenue’s merchandise table following the concert. It is remarkable to think this duo only exists because a larger project that involved Mullen and Heykants fell through. At the urging of some friends in their church and a generous gift from an individual they were urged to record a CD. They met with the management team of Slyngshot Records and in particular their producer Leroy Harder. Nine months later they are completing their first tour, a one and one half month venture.

There were probably a few guys who left the concert with a crush on Heykants and a few gals left swooning over Mullen. These two are every publicist’s dream; they create good music, are attractive, present well, and are personable.

All Gaetz Avenue music is either written or co-written by Heykants and Mullen. More information about Gaetz Avenue is available at http://www.gaetzave.com
