Now, my base of operations is again Utah, having relocated there after my mother’s death several years ago, to be closer to Karen’s family and help care for her ailing mother. Karen decided at this point that she did not care to actively perform live any longer and that wanted devote herself to other pursuits. Not wanting to be creatively idle, I continued to write, record, and perform my music live. I have returned to my love of the blues and have recorded a couple more CDs of original blues and jazz tunes—“Blue Mundy (Part 1)” and “Blue Mundy (Part2)”—with my new performing group, “RANDY MUNDY & THE MUNDY MOURNING BLUES BAND”. I am currently working on a third blues and jazz CD, which I hope to release later this year. Life is good when you can do what you love.
Utah Celebrity
TV Host, Entertainment Writer, DJ & Media Personality
Being The Globe’s Senior Editor taught me the ins and outs of newspaper operations, and really ignited my passion for writing. After getting my associates in print journalism from SLCC in 2006, I transferred to the University of Utah (from which I graduated in Dec. 2008 with a BA in communication). I always had a flair toward entertainment – 
I’m drawn to anything from the glitz of Hollywood to leather-bound rock ‘n’ roll – so when my SLCC instructor and mentor Nick Burns told me about a new Utah entertainment magazine called “IN,” I signed up for an internship right away. After three months of doing feature writing and data entry, I was hired as a full-time staff writer. I’ve been at IN for almost three years now, penning everything from band interviews to bar reviews to style columns. I have kept myself in the public eye by making media appearances, emceeing events, judging contests and volunteering. In addition to writing for IN, I have added “radio DJ” and “TV host” to my resume due to my freelance work at 97.5 The Blaze, KUTV 2News This Morning and Park City Television. In the near future, I aim to cross over to television full-time and finish my novel.
I’ve found it important to diversify my skills to include all media forms, because I am now in much higher demand and have become privvy to a slew of new opportunities. I’ve grown beyond the title “writer” into a “media personality,” which allows me to entertain many of my interests at once.

Winners of the 2009 Posty for “Best Utah Rock Band”, The Wayne Hoskins Band has spent the last two years focused on writing and recording their music, as well as performing at featured venues around the Western United States.
Formed in 2008, band members Dustin, Dave, Mike, Carl and Eric combine to create music from beautifully powerful rock choruses in songs like “Something Better” to epic ballads like “I’ll Be Right Here”…the band has captured the attention of a large fanbase of passionate music lovers and classic rock enthusiasts. Dustin’s vocals and lyrics give listeners a window into themselves and shed light on music and emotion. Conceptually simple, the greatest element of The Wayne’s efforts is the chemistry of the musicians.
The Wayne’s resume includes live performances at THE SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL, two invitations to the exclusive Acoustic All Stars Festival in Park City, Utah, the Promenade Music Festival in Boise, Idaho and the Project Green River Music Festival. The Wayne was also a featured artist at the Utah State Fair.
Most recently, The Wayne Hoskins Band performed with SAFETYSUIT, as seen on VH1’s Top 20 Countdown, to a crowd of over 1,000+ excited fans. One fan had this to say about the show: “The Wayne Hoskins Band was AMAZING! I really enjoyed their music!” (–Ashlee from Provo, Utah)
Influenced by The Frames, Justin Currie and Todd Thibaud, The Wayne falls into a cross-genre; compared to Counting Crows, Ray LaMontagne, The Fray, Lifehouse and Daughtry, the best way to describe The Wayne might simply be – classically good.
The EP “Breaking Here” will be released NOVEMBER 13th under the ROCKFISH RECORD COMPANY label; with a SOLD OUT party to kickoff the music!
Fans are already looking forward to The Wayne’s FULL-LENGTH STUDIO ALBUM, set to release in SPRING of 2011.
THE WAYNE HOSKINS BAND – ORIGINAL SOUL, CLASSIC SOUND…
As young as she is, she has a voice that strikes of maturity and season. Beginning her career in a singing and dancing group, McKail was often chosen to perform as a soloist because of her strong range and distinctive style. Moving away from the group setting in the last year, she has chosen to pursue a career as a solo artist. In a recent talent search, the judge said of her, “She has great eyes and a wonderful smile and knows how to use both to her advantage.”
McKail picked up the guitar for the first time in the past year to begin writing her own original songs. Her talent on the guitar shone quickly as she began to perform just a few months after beginning, playing like someone who has been taking guitar for a few years, with fingering and chording that is indicative of those who have been playing for more than just a few months. Her performance and style has settled in nicely with her making a choice to play her own music.
