Jaramie Bentley spent his younger years in Kenosha not taking life too seriously and having a good time pursuing his passion – basketball. This led him to different places across the Midwest, through all these experiences, he grows and learns that authenticity is the way to live life. Jaramie grew into an artist with a growing interest in creating consciously positive hip hop with his first group The Freedom Finders and expanded his knowledge and love of making music, which led to creating music under the Jaramie the Great aka Great the Man. Check out his music here! 

After being inspired by what was happening while he lived in Omaha, he returned to Kenosha with a passion to bring some of the awesome stuff he saw in Nebraska back to his hometown. He continued his involvement in music, organizing hip hop shows around town, which led to the founding of The In Crowd, which he created with Ron Dean Brown, and the launch of the Keno Nite Market! 

The Keno Nite Market has moved to the beautiful beachside Pennoyer Park for the summer – Saturdays 4pm-10pm on June 22, July 27, August 24, and September 28. Follow them on Facebook here for all the latest updates!
