Wayne Kramer

Wayne Kramer is a punk rock legend and counterculture icon best known as the co-founder and guitarist of the revolutionary Detroit band MC5. Emerging in the late '60s, Kramer and MC5 became synonymous with raw, politically charged rock anthems like "Kick Out the Jams," blending garage-rock intensity with radical activism. After the band's dissolution, he navigated personal struggles before reigniting his career as a solo artist and collaborator, releasing albums like 2023's *LEXINGTON* that keep his fiery spirit alive. Recent tracks like "The American Ruse" and "LLMF" showcase his signature guitar slashes and lifelong dedication to challenging power structures, while his work on documentaries like *The Mind of Mark DeFriest* proves his creative flame still burns hot. Beyond music, Kramer remains a vocal advocate for prison reform through his nonprofit Jail Guitar Doors.
