So I’m releasing some original music.

[MegaPoke]

10 songs, 2 done and 8 almost ready.

First one was released last week. I released a music video for it yesterday. Already up to 1300 views so I’m pleasantly surprised. The song is called Blood Moon, and it is about a personal experience from the opioid epidemic where we lost my wife’s cousin to a heroin OD during the first few weeks of the Covid shutdown.

Last week a reporter from FOX 23 did a story on us and the song. It’s really been a cool experience after decades of high end cover bands to finally do my own music. This is the first one we released so I hope you enjoy it.

Really good, dude. Congrats. I thought your drummer looked familiar and I saw the credits. Has he always been in a drummer?

Thank you very much!

You mean former Stillwater quarterback Chris Holt? yep he’s been a drummer forever and has been our guy since day one in this project - - around 2018. Love him. Fantastic drummer and friend.

That’s the guy. He was a few years older. Talented dude. Great family too.

By the way, our very own @GlowPoke is on keyboard and lead vocals here.

Agree on all points. Awesome family and most here will know his uncle Rex Holt from OSU baseball wrestling and Gameday Live at Eskimo Joes.

I really enjoyed the music! For some unknown reason the music has an April Wine feel to me. Congrats!

Thank you! I love April Wine but not an intentional influence. Maybe the harmonies?

Overall our sound trends southern rock. This one is kind of a ballad

Follow up note. I’m actually at a loss to explain this. I had best case scenario hoped to have 200 views on this video by now but in fact it has as of now… 5,767 views after being published on Sunday. It shows slightly fewer unless you look at the view count in analytics.

I don’t understand the analytics enough to figure it out but safe to say it’s so far surpassed expectations. If you do go watch it, please give it a like.

 

[MegaPoke]

Now has 32,000 views. Mind blowing

Awesome! Congrats!

 

[MegaPoke]

Awesome! Congrats!

Thanks! Seems to have plateaued and slowed way down at 42,000 views. Trying to figure out YouTube analytics to learn what caused it to have good vitality, but it’s been a fun week watching that number.

Great job Mega! Loved it.

Damn, I was hoping that was you on bass. Great work, BTW.
