Episode 116: Jordan McGraw (BORT)

On this episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with Jordan McGraw of BORT! Having purchased the Tom DeLonge edition Strat when he was 15 years old, Jordan's new single "Can You Hear Me" under his BORT imprint harkens back to the alternative rock, indie, and pop-punk interests of his teenage years. From early influences like Weezer, Blink-182, Nirvana, and Green Day, McGraw's first BORT tune is already a hit with the pop-punk and alternative fans. The music video for "Can You Hear Me" already has amassed more than 368,000 YouTube views. He teamed up with friends and fellow musicians Zach Merrick (All Time Low) and Jack Lawless (DNCE, Jonas Brothers) for more BORT songs on the way. In this episode, Jordan talks with Mike about his early days getting into guitar in his teens, making the music that feels natural to him with BORT, the early success of "Can You Hear Me," his friendship and prior tour experiences with the Jonas Brothers, teaming up with Zach and Jack for BORT, and more.
