California Trip

Posted by jerm in Uncategorized

My trip to California has been great! I hung out at the Musician’s Institute, watched a Ben Folds seminar, jammed in a jazz class, saw JMM perform, stayed with my friend Adam and his awesome family, saw Brendan Benson at the Troubadour, recorded JMM at an awesome studio with Simeon called Blue Forest, and that’s all in 4 days!
It’s been eye opening, and I still have a couple days left!!!

Music Mania is Expanding

Posted by jerm in News

I’ve been working hard the last few years to create a studio/label/everything I can do in Music. In the process I learned the true meaning of Music Mania! It is the unwavering, unstoppable, need to make music…..but wait, there’s more! There is a yeng to the yang. I have discovered, through much self-analyzation and a bout of unhappiness, that the mania that fuels me to succeed and LIVE, is Music. It spoke to me at 5 years old and has been part of my inside voice ever since. So Music Mania is an undeniable part of who I am. I can’t stop this roller coaster even if I want to! Especially now that I have such an awesome group of passengers! So I’m in it for life, the power for this ride is derived from creativity, accomplishment, pride and perseverance. Multiply that by the hundreds of musicians involved in some form or another, and you have a collective force to be reckoned with. I am the creator of this, the spark, if you will, but my goal is to be the mediator-overseer, and participant… True strength comes in numbers and the greatest music made is a result of collaboration. We are all a part of this in some way, shape, or form….jerm
