We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Nathan Jerue a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Nathan, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

We want to spread the joy of music to everyone. We all love playing music together and it brings a feeling of happiness and completion in our lives that we want others to feel. It’s something that is extremely fulfilling and it gives a great sense of freedom that nothing else ever could. Even when playing other artist’s songs it gives us tons of freedom of expression to paint the tune in a way we feel.

Nathan, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Well what got us into this whole project was the joy we felt playing music and the fun we had together doing it. We aren’t a traditional business, as it is clear these questions are aimed at, but we do take the group very seriously while also having fun with it. Last fall we recorded a full studio album we put on streaming services titled “Waiting For a Ride” and we felt extremely proud of it. This last month we went back into the studio to record a second album set to be released this fall. We want people to feel the joy of music and feel as if they are in the room with us watching us play and having fun and laughing with us while listening to the album. This is something we’ve always done with our audience in real live performances and its always a great time because even if someone doesn’t like the music they’ll still laugh and have a fun time.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

When we started the band in 2019 we had no clear direction. Our bassist Ian Winn wrote punk inspired bass-lines and lyrics while guitarist Lucas Villanueva had more sharp standard rock and roll lines and songs. Then there was my heavy hitting loud pounding on the drums. While this wasn’t too hard to keep focus during the Covid lockdown we added two new members, Blake Lumley on keyboards, which made compositions harder to make due to them needed more complexion, and a second guitarist; Aiden O’Dwyer. Aiden had a much more indie style and a sightly more limited vocabulary in music which complicated the already existing complications. This made the band even less clear on our sound and it was clear a change was needed. Eventually Aiden was out. He left on his own terms and with no hard feelings which was great. We replaced him with Alex Kunze who is currently in the band and had a really great talent for writing catchy melodies and workable songs. Another thing that happened was we had grown as musicians over the last few years and had finally figured out how to develop our own sound and work together as musicians. This was a huge turning point for us and a bug pivot in our sound.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

Our reputation definitely built from just being friendly with people and constantly being around others. People always watched us play even if we were just practicing in a small, warm room. We all have a lot of personality and a lot of friends who were willing to listen and be supportive.
