“And now we’re faced with time in a penitentiary. Slow the pace ‘cuz we’re gonna get there eventually.” – Ted Bowne, title track for ‘Start From Scratch‘.  A welcome call to action in the changed world we’re growing in: economically, socially, technologically.  Last year seems decades away.  Ten year markers that defined generations are getting shorter in western culture (i.e. an 18 year old is a totally different generation from a 23 year old).  Try explaining a world without Facebook, iPhones or mp3s to a teenager and you look like you’re from Noah’s ark.   It’s a world racing for the next moment, the next big thing, the next toy, while tripping over it’s own feet in confusion.   Slow down.  Be where you are.  Now is the time to ‘Start From Scratch’, or start from where you are as Pema Chodron might suggest (thanks and much love to Stephanie Jones for that lesson).

Before embarking on the Vans Warped Tour; we worked with the band and Brenden Robertson to document their performance at Live Wire Music Hall.  They premiered many tracks from the new album (which debuted at #1 on the iTunes reggae chart – #2 was Bob Marley ‘Legend’) and undoubtedly the band has started from scratch.  They’ve exploded their hooks, sweetened their rhythm, challenged their lyrics, and changed their ensemble (with keyboardist Mike DeGuzman).  The result is a sound so fresh as a thaw after an ice cold winter, with the burdens of modern of life transforming into a finely crafted, and very catchy, reggae rock adventure.

Who on earth actually knows where we are in time and space?  It’s one day at a time.  Take a deep breath and start from scratch.

Matisyahu, the eclectic reggae-beat-boxer and his band rocked the crowd at our House of Blues shoot in Myrtle Beach.  Trevor Hall joined Matis’ on stage as they performed “Soul Rebel” by Bob Marley…simply amazing! Trevor Hall & Matisyahu officially ROCKED The House of Blues and I’m looking forward to the next show.

Jer Coons has been on this leg of the tour with us since Baltimore, opening for Trevor Hall, warming up the stage with his special blend of romance, comedy, passion and catchy tunes!  We highly recommend checking out  “Sunsets With Jer” on YouTube (yes, he’s a filmmaker too)!  We look forward to hearing and seeing more of this entertaining young talent in the future!   Check out his tour dates at www.JerCoons.com
