The Check-In with Joel Jerome

 Joel Jerome is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Los Angeles, CA.  His solo debut, Super Flower Blood Moon  (Dangerbird Records)  hits the streets on May 13th, and promises a dark,  folky trip that celebrates his 90's indie rock influences as much and it pays homage to his latin roots.  In this episode Joel tells us how the pandemic opened his eyes to activism, how that's translated to his work with The Union of  Musicians and Allied Workers  (UMAW) and why unions are important to working musicians.  We hear how his long time pal Jim Fairchild (Modest Mouse, Grandaddy, All Smiles) had a hand in the early stages of Super Flower Blood Moon and why it was different from past records.   Joel also share's his view on   "capturing recordings" verses "producing" and how thats applied in his own studio, Psychedelic Thriftstore.  Joe plays a couple tunes from the new record  and Joel tells us where's he's looking forward to touring in 2022.  https://dangerbirdrecords.com/https://joeljeromemusic.bandcamp.com/Use Code Fret10 for a free month of Music Production Suite Pro and a 10% discount on all other software.   visit https://www.izotope.com/en/lp/ruinous.html @thetourstories Mentioned in this episode:IzotopeDistrokidSchecter Guitars
