It all started in 1996 when Main Street Records produced the recording "Dirty Town" MSR13001 by Cincinnati, Ohio Americana artist GROWN MEN. The CD features original material and smartly chosen covers recorded in their own unique style.
Main Street Records business model has been to find original artists and help them get their start in the recording industry.
Main Street Records provides local, national and international distribution for its artists.
In 1999, Main Street Records released its second CD Sean Carney & the Nite Owlz "Provisions" MSR13002. Sean is a Columbus, Ohio based blues guitarist who has gone on to become an internationally known and respected guitarist and blues historian. Provisions quickly sold out and the original release of this CD is quite rare.
In 2007, Sean won the prestigious International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN. as well as the Albert King Award for Best Guitarist.
With these awards and a European tour ahead it was decided to re-release "Provisions". Provisions: A Second Helping" was released in early 2008 on Nite Owlz Records/Main Street Records with three previously unreleased bonus tracks from the original sessions.
