John Ferris of A State of Mind joins episode 71 of 3 Questions and a Song. In the last episode Jesse said that everyone needed to check out the video for your song Shattered. 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.

Ray Powers 3QS035

3 Questions for Ray Powers Having started touring at the age of 15 and being into different aspects of the music industry over your lifetime, what do you believe was your biggest moment? You can pick 1 album that you’ve already heard to erase the memories of having heard it, and go back to listen to it like it’s the first time again. What would it be? Do you prefer working with artists on the production side of things, or performing in front of an audience? asked by Shock Frenzy in episode 34. About the song, It’s You This is my second-ever solo single, originally released in 2013 and remains a mainstay in my live set. I composed the music and lyrics unassisted. Music comes to me effortlessly, but lyrics can be a challenge. When I hit a speed bump on the lyric is when I’ll typically reach out for a collaborator, but ‘It’s You’ pretty much flowed for me. I laugh when I hear a recording artist say that they can’t pick a favorite song because, how you do play favorites among your ‘babies’? Songs evoke feelings, but songs don’t have feelings that can be hurt. ‘It’s You’ is my favorite. I’m excited that the 2020 Remaster will give this and others a fresh new life on the airwaves. About Ray Powers Band Location: New York, NY Band Genre: Rock Ray Powers promised something special for 2020, and has delivered with a remastered compilation album of his chart-topping singles, limited-availability B-sides and previously unreleased songs in Decade Of Singles (2011-2019).
