I did, and then I watched Nightmare, too. I have to ask who comes up with the concepts for your videos and could you tell us a little about the videographers that you used? What can you tell us about Misanthropik Records? When did you decide you wanted to be a musician and what triggered that? If you were creating a playlist for a long trip, what bands would you be listening to? Play anywhere with anyone, where would it be and with whom? Was music something that kept you alive, or was it something that you continued to do in spite of suffering that it may have caused you? Looking back would you have done anything differently. Asked by Jesse Creatchman in episode 70. About State of Mind State of Mind was formed in 1994. John Ferris… (vocalist/lyricist) and Robbie Grossheim…(rhythm guitar), are the only two founding members remaining.

Jesse Stone Creatchman brings his song, Pennsylvania to 3 Questions and a song all the way from Montreal Canada! Who is the best goaltender to come out of the Montreal area? You get to sit with a musical idol, who would it be, and what 1 question would you ask? One of your songs survives an apocalyptic event to help re-populate the Earth, which song would it be? You can play a show with any musician at any location… who and where? What music would I hear if I were driving your tour bus? Who is your Dave Grohl? Which band would you want to go out on tour with to learn from and hang out with? What is your favorite venue based on the food that you’ve eaten there? What is a song that you didn’t write, that you wish you had written? How did your family influence your music? asked by Jim Berkin of Wayward Brigade on episode 69 About Jesse Stone Creatchman Genre: Rock Band Location: Montreal, QC Canada Radio’s Dead [The Album] is a genre-bending, LO-FI journey through the highs and lows of the life of the touring artist. Jesse Stone Creatchman, the wordsmith, sings songs about living in Bushwick, a wild-turn affair in Pennsylvania, some nightmarish experiences on the road, his divorce, drug abuse, his time in AA, the death of a friend, and ultimately finding solace in his roots, his music and his family. Stone lays it all on the table, the good the bad, and the ugly. The album puts Stone’s “poetic lyrical prowess and expansive stylistic range” (The Montreal Gazette 2015) on full display. The album is clever, it’s provocative and it’s got one heck of a guest list. Every song is a story on this autobiographical concept album by one of Canada’s most daring and inspiring lyricists. About the song, Pennsylvania Montreal Songwriter JESSE STONE CREATCHMAN’s new single, PENNSYLVANIA dropped on MONDAY OCTOBER 4, 2021. The next installment from his upcoming sophomore album, Radio’s Dead [released November 2021]. This high-octane single is a psychobilly/surf romp from the self-deprecative Canadian artist. A rollicking, full-throttle adventure over the golden hills of the keystone state, Pennsylvania is amplified by the screeching electric guitar of the maniacal RENE DE LA MUERTE, lead singer and guitarist for the band THE BRAINS. Peterborough native ERIK FINES veers along at 80 miles per hour on bass guitar. On drums and mixing engineer for the track is TIBURCE PERLAU of the Montreal band VINYL HERO and DWANE DIXON TRIO. The song depicts a hairy episode in the artists past in which Jesse, following the dissolution of his marriage, escapes from New York City seeking refuge amongst the horse & buggies of the Quaker state. It’s a fish out of water story except in this version, Jesse (the fish) gets caught in the jaws of a thirsty female shark. Where to find Jesse Stone:

Where can I vote for the bands in The Big Break? https://www.thebigbreakcontest.com/vote What is The Big Break? The Big Break began as a competition for Colorado bands for a prize of winning a fully-produced music video from producer Eyal Filkovsky. ​ The contest was created by Denver’s Trevor O’Connor  of Trevor Rocks Denver, and Eyal Filkovsky. The Big Break is now located in Pennsylvania to give a local band a chance to win BIG. How does the Big Break Pennsylvania Edition work?  Round 1: Bands are given 3 months to create a homemade music video. This can be done with iPhones, Point-&-Shoot cameras, and iMovie/Windows Movie Maker. Round 2: Fans have ONE MONTH from the competition launch date to submit their votes. You are allowed to vote for more than one band, but only ONCE per band. The top 9 – 12 bands will continue to the next round. Round 3: 3 nights, 3 – 5 bands  per night, will go head to head in a live battle of the bands-style competition.  Several factors will come into play for judging. One band from each night will continue on to the final round. Round 4: The final showdown. The finalists battle again and the winner will walk away with the grand prize: a full produced music video!

Jim Berkin of Wayward Brigade joins Bill for this episode of 3 Questions and a Song! If you could share a stage with 3 of your influences, what bands would be standing up there with you and where would you hold that show? I was checking out your Facebook page, and saw a pretty cool Venue, Hub City Vinyl, can you name some of your favorite venues based on the food that they serve and overall vibe that they provide? What is your ultimate goal as a punk act? About Wayward Brigade Genre: Punk Band Location: Hagerstown, MD Founded in the dystopian 2020 by a Florida and California transplant, who met in Maryland over a Die Hunns jacket patch. Disenchanted with most newer music, the two started sending each other songs they wrote soon after. Picking up a few others down with the same idea, this band is about the next generation bringing punk back to its roots. No metal influence, no 80s hardcore touch, just pure straight forward traditional punk rock. To carry the torch of the pioneers we grew up with. Keeping rock n roll raw, and skateboarding punk. Anti establishment, take no prisoners, pirate punk rock n roll. This band is for lost, wayward, true non conformist youth as well as aging true blue punk rockers. About the song, Kids Through the Cracks It’s the title track on our 2nd EP, and a personal favorite that we play. It’s about the life challenges that we all come across that make us who we are.
