Coming Up....

This past week has been a busy one, and I'm excited to bring you all the teasingly delicious news of musicians to be featured. Every member I've met with in this week has continued to inspire me in different ways. Old friends, new friends, strangers. Each outlook on music, expression, style, the scene around them. Music is so broad, so encompassing. It enriches so many lives, from punks, to jazz, to the young, the elderly, the in-between. It's amazing to sit with each group of people and just hear about their take on music, their journey through the scene, and how it has completely changed their lives. Those intimate moments are what I hope to bring to you with Tri-State Jam. Not just the shows, the scene, the sound, but the true heart that comes with making music and following it with a passion. Immersing one's self in the culture. For loves, laughs, expression, anger, outlet, beauty. That is Tri-State Jam's goal, and I hope it resonates with each of you following the interviews of these musicians, and many more to come:



Eric and Kate Avey Waynesboro, PA
http://aveymusic.com/


Eric and Kate Avey met through music thirteen years ago, and from that day forward, their relationship has been as much about one another, their love and happiness, as it has about music.


"We know what we want to do, and we do it," Kate and Eric share, and it's evident in the strong following Eric and Kate have gathered. From their passion to their talent, it's no wonder why these two have taken the local music scene by storm. Involved in bands such as The Boro Boogie Pickers, The Reckoning, Mountain Ride, and their duo, Strung Tight, the Aveys branch out across a collection of bluegrass and acoustic bands, letting their souls and love speak through music.


This is nothing, however, compared to witnessing a special moment between just these two. Midst their personal photo-shoot, I watched a couple go from happy, posed smiles for the camera, to singing a duet in a brick alley wall, illuminated by a single lamp, and seeing only one another. Their voices, rich and lovingly haunting when melded together in a duet, melt your heart and express a love only music can put form to. Their story alone will warm a heart, but when shown through their passion for music, one can understand how they've come so far, and be inspired to follow what similar dreams they harbor in their own hearts.


Please stayed tuned in to Tri-State Jam for the Avey's full article and photo-shoot; complete information posts within a week, along with videos, tour dates, and more up-coming news.



Pooch and the Moochers Waynesboro, PA

http://www.reverbnation.com/poochandthemoochers

Ty Clopper, Shane Huckle, Mark Thomas, and Kyle Spencer (“Pooch”), jokingly tell me that they would consider themselves “Comdey Rock.” And although they are really an authentic garage-punk band out of Waynesboro, PA, the definition of comedic definitely reflects the personalities of all band members.

Jumping from one stairwell to the next, and showing off their mascots “dread head phred” and “kemo” (two mounted deer heads in their studio), Pooch and the Moochers do not lack in supply of optimism and happiness. Their musical talent and passion, however, far exceed their supply of laughter, which is a hard comparison to make.

Officially a four member group as of April this year, the musical experience spanning all members goes back years. They reflect on their individual beginnings, as well as their official formation, all thanks to the Dawg House in Waynesboro, PA, where they first met and played their first show together. Every one of them agrees they are in it for the self-fulfillment, and the happiness it brings them in the moment when they play. From an all acoustic to band with five songs to now having twenty-four originals, Pooch and the Moochers is wasting no time moving forward with their musical plans.

Stayed tuned within the next few weeks for upcoming shows, Pooch and the Moochers news, and the tell-all story on how the name “Pooch and the Moochers” came to be.

2 Sides 2 Die South Central PA

http://www.reverbnation.com/2sides2die

Started back in 2005, known mainly from their time at the shack-hole-in-the-hole in Waynesboro, PA dubbed “HellHouse”, 2 Sides 2 Die has evolved through sound, members, and location within eight years; Zack Burkett has a lot to tell in his story about 2 Sides 2 Die, and where it's going from here. Also along-side him, new member Gary Tritle, lending information on what is planned, and their shared views on the release of life's frustrations when playing live.

Between the albums Method to Madness, Doom and Gloom, and Fatal Flaw, 2 Sides 2 Die's sound has always remained heavy, angry, and sorrowful. Zack shares his experiences leading to each album, and how it's not just music and songs, but each album is also a story with a central theme. From break-ups and feeling on top of the world, Zack also alludes to new music focusing on betrayal, and being some of the heaviest and angriest music 2 Sides 2 Die has yet released.

When on stage, Zack and Gary both agree it is about being in the moment for them; focusing on letting out their anxiety, the one place in the world they feel at home. Although quiet, Gary resonates a powerful energy that flows in sync's with Zack's, and the powerful suggestion of their music to come is rich and enticing in the air.

Despite the anger and the show they put on live, 2 Sides 2 Die is pushed forward by optimism and determination.

“People say the big question is 'Why,' but I say, 'why not?'” Zack says, “You only live once, and I just want to make records.”

For both of them, they are just anxious to be back on stage. Gary explains, “It's the one place I feel I don't have to be quiet. I'm just out to have fun.”

Remembering that music is a release, 2 Sides 2 Die continues to push forward, re-visiting old songs and beginning new ones.

Continue to check back with Tri-State Jam within a month, for more information on 2 Sides 2 Die, including where they are going from here, plans for new originals, and how music increasingly assists in their lives and their personal struggles.

Along-side the up-coming musicians, Tri-State Jam's photographer and journalist, Coryn Rose, will be photographing the magic at Mountain Madness 5 this year, held at Four Quarters Farm, in Artemas, PA, from Sept 13^th to the 15^th. This is an EDM festival, and I would like to encourage all interested Djs/Promoters/Music Enthusiasts to please seek me out about scheduling your own interview/photo-shoot for a featured piece during this time. This a prime opportunity to capture the music of a live performance through the personal photographs, and allow an in-the-moment feel to really come through the interview and article.

All other musicians interested in scheduling an interview, please email corynrose115@gmail.com if you are located in the Tri-State Area. All bands outside of the immediate base of Tri-State Jam (Hagerstown, MD) can schedule an interview via phone, skype, or email. Please don't hesitate to initiate contact, even if only with questions or comments.

Thanks for being a reader and a musical fan. Continue your support!

What have you done for local music today? 

  

Searching! Graphic designers, promoters, musicians, and more.

As Tri-State Jam continues to launch off the ground (and it's doing fantastic as of the current date), we're looking for more and more content to add to the blog.

Currently, Tri-State Jam is in need of the current:

-- A graphic designer to help create an eye-catching logo for Tri-State Jam.
Unfortunately at this time, this would be a volunteer job, but anyone willing to help create the logo will have their own blurb post about them and their craft; more exposure, and of course the contribution to all local musicians out there. Email: corynrose115@gmail.com for more info. 

-- Musicians in the area looking for a band/vice versa.
The "musician seeking musician" tab is a bit empty, and I'd love to help unite more music lovers with one another, and create that perfect sound!!

-- In anticipation of launching a "Local Shows" page, I will need assistance from promoters/venues/fans in the area.
Let me know your favorite venues, and all promoters/planners/venue owners, please get in touch about promotion of your parties/your business. This is a double-whammy, as not only do the local musicians get seen, but your business will increase with the out-reach of Tri-State Jam, and helping local fans find the best hot-spots on show nights. Promote shows through the web-site, and get linked in your own business page through ADs. corynrose115@gmail.com for more info.

-- ALWAYS searching for more local bands/musicians to get featured. Everyone has been having a great experience so far, and I'd love to hear what more is out there in the area. Even if you are unavailable for a face-to-face interview, email, skype, phone, and more available to help with the outreach.

Thank you all for your support, and continue to spread the word about your favorite local music!

Featured Musician: Jam Band Enthusiast, Mudcracker of the Hagerstown, MD area.

From where you started, what do you think you've accomplished today that seemed impossible then? “I'm happy just to be a part of this society. To be able to call up a group of musicians and say 'Hey, I've got a gig, want to play?' It's so much different from when I was younger; there's acceptance among musicians now.”

For Jay Parks, aka “Mudcracker”, what has kept him involved in the local music scene since 1994 is not the money (which he says is the one thing that hasn't changed in all his years of playing) or the illusion of fame, but the passion; the “labor of love” as he describes it.

“I always bounce back and be hopeful. Which I guess is the definition of love.”

Located near Hagerstown, MD, Mudcracker is a guitarist, recorder, and over-all passionate musician involved in several jam-bands of the area. Found at venues such as The Broad Axe (Hagerstown, MD) and Flannery's Tavern (Mercersburg, PA), Mudcracker can be found jamming with several musicians, crossing a span of several genres, just for the enjoyment of getting out and playing a gig with others who share his passion.

Mudcracker and the Beat, formed as a duo in 2008 between Jay Parks (Mudcracker) on guitar and Trent Renshaw (The Beat) on drummers, has since evolved into a quartet with Ken Bussey added on guitar, and Matthew Lewis on bass. A “folk-blues” band of the area, Mudcracker and the Beat released a self-titled, nine song album in the fall of 2011, and had a song featured in the independent film, “Greencastle” which was released March 2012. Past shows have found them at the festivals Bless the Woods one and two, and they've made several appearances at The Broad Axe.

Other bands including Mudcracker include These Two Bastards, a duo formed with Spencer Pheil, aka “The Drowsy Cow”, most often found playing at Flannery's Tavern. Mudcracker also runs sound for The KB Project, an instrumental jazz group from the Frederick, MD area consisting of the members from Mudcracker and the Beat.

Mudcracker himself first began in music when he was ten years old and his mom bought him his first guitar. By the time he was sixteen, all of his friends were playing. “We were mainly just pissin' off our parents, causing a racket,” he says.

His first shows, by a long shot, were not great experiences; especially compared to the talent he has evolved to today, and the musicians he now enjoys playing with.

“It was pretty horrible, I think,” Mudcracker comments on his first show. It was the band Mump, thrown together between himself, Rob Adair, and Christ Kreit, at the age of eighteen. They were opening at the Blue Ridge Summit Fire-hall, and Mudcracker says, “All I remember thinking was that I was just happy to have it over with.” From there, his next memorable early-gig was four years later, with the band The Hose (later Fewer Guru), where they showed up to play at The Branded Lady, but their drummer was too young to get in. Determined, they found the venue Jeffery's and played a free gig that night there instead. Gubment Cheese was the next band to welcome Mudcracker, formed from 2006 to 2009 with Rob Adair and Jon Ingles on guitar, Eric Avey on keyboards, Trent Renshaw on drums and Sean Grove on bass.

From those first bands to today, Mudcracker says he's definitely adapted to his sound more. Although outside of his personal growth, the local scene has changed in so many ways. From '95 to '96, the hippie music revival was in full-effect, focusing on the “jam band feel”, which is Mudcracker's personal sound. 200 to 300 fans would show up per show, and the music scene he was invested in benefited greatly. Nowadays, “there is too much entertainment in the home,” according to Mudcracker. “Why risk a DUI and having to spend money at a bar when there is music streaming live from the internet? It's difficult to get people out to enjoy live music.”

Not only is home entertainment factor, but the local music scene's offering to bands in the area causes conflict. “It's a bunch of dudes crammed into the corner of a bar. No one offers stages any more.” The few venues in Mudcracker's area who do offer stages prefer to book a different kind of sound than the jazz-folk blues that Mudcracker plays.

“It's people's different music tastes. They want something they've heard before, something they can sing along to. You gotta play 'Wagon Wheel'. People enjoy what they know.” And although Mudcracker says that if people enjoy it, why put a stop to it, he does acknowledge the difficulty of breaking into a scene that doesn't offer a lot of original music consistently to the area.

“For a small area, there's a lot of local talent; a lot of people who need more recognition. Musicians show up and support one another, like with Bless the Woods. But with a small area, and so many shared fans, bands are also booking against one another.”

Since Mudcracker's starting days, promotion has changed from hand-outs and word-of-mouth, to internet-focused media. Both the best-and-worst innovation of the recent years, Mudcracker says, “You get to reach a lot of people who normally wouldn't hear your music because they're not in the area. This does, however, give people a bravery born from anonymity, sparking cruelty. In the end, [social media] is a good tool, but people are numb to it. It's useful, but to an extent. There is more out there.”

As far as the future goes, Mudcracker says, “I just want to be playing another bar.” He says he harbors no illusions about the big-time; for him, just having his jam-band buddies around is enough to keep him musically happy. He expects to still be getting paid the same, although he wants to put out more music in coming years. Since 2008, however, Mudcracker has been working in live production, currently a lead engineer at Stable Studios in New Franklin, PA, helping others record and play live music, and he sees himself becoming more invested in this, and less involved in live performances.

“It's not as much the emotional investment,” Mudcracker explains about helping others record. “Playing live is a labor of love; you spend what you make.”

In the end, Mudcracker says, “I just want to play music. And I want others to, too. There's no reason for anything to go away. As long as it makes people happy, that's what matters, despite how I feel. I'm still gonna play if I get paid. And even if it's free, I'm probably still gonna play. It's something you do. Some people like fast cars. Some people run. It's about pushing that rock up that hill.”

The one thing Mudcracker explains he could not live without, and could not make music without, “Is love. I think everyone needs love.” His passion is true, coming through so many years and so many bands and still playing strong. Influenced by musicians such as the Grateful Dead, Miles Davis, Neil Young (and other acoustic musicians), Pink Floyd, Zepplin, Delta Blues, and many more, music has stuck with him through the ages.

Sneak Peak on Next Musician: Jay Parks, AKA Mudcracker

A musician involved in the scene since 1994, Mudcracker describes his work as a "labor of love." 

Located near Hagerstown, MD, Jay Parks, aka "Mudcracker", is involved in several jam-bands of the area, including "Mudcracker and the Beat", "These Two Bastards", and others. Found locally at bars such as "The Broad Axe" (Hagerstown, MD) and "Flanerys Tavern" (Mercersburg, PA), Mudcracker can be found with several musicians, ranging several genres of music, just to jam out and enjoy his time with others who share the same passion. 

These days, Mudcracker admits to being more invested in helping others record music, than he does in playing live, but that doesn't stop him from heading out to a gig whenever one is called in. He says, "I'm happy just to be part of this [music] society. To be able to call anyone up and say, 'Hey, I've got a gig, want to play?' It's much different from when I was younger." 

Above and beyond anything, the one thing Mudcracker says he cannot live without, "Is Love. I think everyone needs Love." This shines through with his music, his work, his friends, and his support of everyone around him. "As long as it makes people happy, there's no reason for anything to go away," he comments, and it's true. The acceptance and passion Mudcracker holds within himself is no doubt what has kept him involved in such a struggling scene for so many years, and helped him refine his sound to where it is today.

For more information, upcoming show dates to catch Mudcracker live, samples of his music, more photographs, and all else, stay tuned in to Tri-State Jam, and check back periodically through-out this up-coming week.

DJ Virtek -- Progressive House, Electro House, and Trance Musician from Hagerstown, MD

“Always remember: the DJ is there for the fans. You're the reason the music is made. To make your heads bob, and make your booties shake. Never be afraid to approach a DJ. We're there to make you happy.” DJ Virtek says this with a smile on his face, and a light in his eyes. He's just spent all night working on his latest mix, a set he entitled “Don't Hate the Game, the Player Made You Lose...”, a video-game inspired, 8-bit mix from one of his latest live events, Kandiland, held at Grafitti Warehouse in Balitmore, MD. The set was cut down from a live ninety minutes, to a CD-Friendly sixty-one minutes worth of music to be posted for download on his Mixcloud.

Virtek has put in a lot of long nights and early mornings, mixing, searching, playing, recording, and enjoying each and every moment of the DJ life. Starting out in 1999, Virtek went full-force into the scene when he Djed his first set spur-of-the-moment at a New Years Eve party leading into the millennium. Virtek says, “The Dj wanted to party more than play, so I saw a prime opportunity, and had to give it a shot.” After watching the Dj play for the first half of the night, Virtek knew that was all he wanted. Two hours later, he had been playing non-stop, and had found his musical calling.

Only earlier that year had Virtek come into the scene. Paul Oakenfold's Global Underground 007 was what had him hooked after one listen, and he has never looked back. Other musical inspirations come from Rabbit in the Moon, a group sadly no longer together. Their psychedelic trance, house, and break-beat styles, however, can still be heavily found in inspiring Virtek's music. His favorite genres to play include progressive house and electro house, followed very closely by trance, which is his over-all favorite style of music. In upcoming mixes, all of these genres will make an appearance, with an addition of some intelligent trance. Virtek also alludes to an upcoming project with a friend, including combining traditional instruments with EDM, a style he describes as “rocker metal infused house.” Within a year, Virtek plans to upload ten more mixes to his Mixcloud, keeping most CD-friendly at around sixty-minutes worth of play time for easy download for fans.

Most local appearances by Virtek have been at the Lion's Den, a hookah lounge located in Hagerstown, MD, and Grafitti Warehouse in Baltimore, MD, where most recently he played Kandiland and Highway to Hell. Live, Virtek infuses his own styles with what is expected from the crowd, and the theme of each event. Whether this means taking requests first hand at small venues, or watching the crowd for a reaction, Virtek is there not only for himself but for the listeners; this, with his passion, is evident through-out his set, both in himself and the dancers found on the floor. Upcoming, Virtek is scheduled to appear at Mountain Madness 5, on Saturday, September 14^th; time slots still to come. If there was any event in the world that Virtek said he could could play, it would be Electric Daisy Carnival, an interactive event that hosts big and small names. Included are carnival rides, entertainers, dance performers, over 100 artists, art installations, and more. Just this year, Electric Daisy Carnival became the confirmed largest EDM event in the USA.

Outside of the immediate area, Virtek's favorite venues were Club 5 in Jackonsville, FL, and God's Basement, in Philadelphia, PA, both unfortunately shut down today. He speaks about God's Basement, and the extravagant outlaws once held there, and passion for the past enriches his voice. Given the choice between attending a Massive or an Underground, Virtek lists the perks to both sides of the scene, choosing an indecisive stance of “it depends on my mood.”

“Massives are more commercialized these days, which is both good and bad. They're more money, but it's worth it for the musical heroes that all collect for one weekend that you get to see.” As far as Undergrounds go, Virtek describes them as, “Something special, because they were by word of mouth. You were just so happy to have heard about it and then found the party. They're more chill and friendly, as well. People are more open to you and having a conversation during the event. Massives, everyone is doing their own thing. Undergrounds also expose you to new styles of mixing, and hearing things you haven't heard before. That's game-changing.”

When it comes to playing, however, Virtek laughs and speaks honestly. “I'm a sell out. I enjoy both, but would love to see thousands of people dance to one of my sets.” Undergrounds have their perks though. He says, “They are more intimate. People at undergrounds are more likely to hear your entire set, and compliment you based on that, where-as at Massives, people will only hear a few minutes of your set, and compliment you just because you were on stage, not strictly because of what they heard. It's the hero-rock-star quality.” Where-ever he plays, Virtek encourages listeners to come up to him after a set and talk with him. Meeting the fans is something he loves, and all critiques on his sets are welcome; “it's all about making the music better for you,” he says.

In the ever-changing game of music and events, Virtek considers where the EDM scene and DJ styles were when he started, and where they will be five to ten years from now. “Every generation says the same thing – I heard back when I was starting, and it's what people say now, then, and in-between: those days were the glory days.

“It was about the reverence people had for the scene back then, and the effort promoters had to put into each outlaw that was thrown,” he continues. “Promoters really had to promote. They would walk to other parties, pay to get in, and pass out fliers all night. They would wait at the back door, catching people as they left at the end of the night in a hype. It wasn't just a post on facebook that everyone shared. It was about talking to people face to face, catching them while they were still amped up and excited to hear about the next event.”

As far as music goes, years from now, Virtek predicts House being a lot stronger, and Trance making a comeback – although this may be more hopeful thinking than most anything else. He would love to see the style of breaks making a comeback, and to see trap, dubstep, and drum-and-bass have a falling out. On the scene over-all, Virtek sees only one drastic change or another in popularity: either EDM will be an intricate part of every music genre, incorporated where-ever it can, or it will be a fad that fades out completely, “like synth pop in the 80's.”

Making his own music instead of just mixing is in the works for Virtek in the upcoming years, and no matter what, it will always be a part of his life. “Music will never not be a part of me,” he says. Outside of the scene, however, he plans to have his Bachelors Degree in Cyber Security in five years, and be working on obtaining his masters, and within ten years he wants to be working on his doctorate. Eventually, Virtek wants to settle down with a family, once he has completed his short-term goals in life. On a shorter scale, within a year he plans on having his own place, roommate free; schedule himself some decently paying Dj gigs; achieve a raise at work; and become a healthier person by eating more apples, because “apples are great.” Virtek confesses he is an amazing cook, when he isn't too lazy to get up and whip up something great. In his downtime, the one piece of equipment Virtek could not live without is his laptop, due to making music, finding music, listening to music, browsing the interwebs, and he's a dork with his cyber security.

Online, Virtek can be found on facebook under “DJVirtek”,  and at www.mixcloud.com/Virtek/.

His advice to all other starting Djs is this: “You're going to fuck up. It happens to everyone. And with the worst timing. And sometimes you don't even know you fucked up, but everyone else does. Just prepare yourself for how to handle it. Breathe, ready, set, go again.”

Sneak Peak Upcoming Artist: DJ Virtek!

As promised, the project is well under-way with the arrival of August! And I'm not wasting any time furthering this production. Interviews have been conducted, sets heard, snapshots photographed. I'm re-fining certain aspects as I go through-out the process, making this the best I can for the fans. Still working on the best lay-out for the blog -- sometimes it's hard to know what'll fit just right! But it's all coming together as I go.

Within the next two to three weeks, I will be writing articles, double-checking interviews, enhancing the best artist images, collecting demos, and more! The first artist under-way, to be featured at the end of those few weeks, is DJ Virtek. A local  progressive house, electro house, and trance DJ from Hagerstown, MD, in and out of the game since '99.


Locally and lately, DJ Virtek has been found at such venues such as graffiti warehouse in Baltimore, and the newest hookah lounge in Hagerstown, the Lion's Den. His music live is a reflection of his personal styles, and what the crowd expects from each themed event.
