THE JER BAND IS GOING TO SOCAL!
so stoked to FINALLY ANNOUNCE THESE SHOWS!
My band, the JER band is playing a weekend of shows in SoCal in December!!! These are our last 3 shows of the year, as well as my first west coast shows in about 2 years!
We announced a few weeks back that we are playing NO EARBUDS FEST, a dope festival showcasing amazing underground bands from across the alternative music sphere. I am particularly stoked to share the stage with these bands! I first saw Prince Daddy & The Hyena ov...

The Addams Family (SKA COVER)
HAPPY FRIDAY AND HAPPY SKALLOWEEN!
I never linked last weeks cover here on patreon, so if you missed the upload on youtube, HERE IT IS! I edited this one and uplaoded it while I was on tour in JAPAN, so the upload was all wonky and stuff, but I definitely wanted to get it out in time for SKALLOWEEN, so I hope y'all enjoy this feel good one!

Just another day in the offioce (Karma Cream, my local vegan coffee shop)
For almost a decade, I have been editing my videos here, posted up. I spent the last 2 hours working on this weeks video, and getting a head start on the next couple of videos! Some of the little things that never get talked about is stuff like all the time that goes into editing these videos! So I want to say A BIG THANK YOU TO THE 20 PEOPLE WHO JOINED THE PATREON THIS WEEKEND! I SEE Y'ALL! AND...
Dragon Roost Island (Legend of Zelda Wind Waker) SKA COVER
THE RE-RECORDING THAT IS SOOOOOOO LONG OVERDUE! I recorded a cover of this tune like, 7 or 8 years ago! I have lived sooooo many lifetimes since then LOL but I was never super stoked with how that one came out, and knew I could do wayyy better! AND SO I DID!
SO HERE'S THE RE-IMAGINING OF DRAGON ROOST ISLAND AS SKA! A slept on banger, and classic imho of not only the legend of zelda soundtrack, but video game music in general. One of those types of tracks that everyone definitely loves...

MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE SECOND SINGLE OFF OF THE RECORD!
This is one of the earlier tracks I wrote for the record. I was noodling on guitar while in the studio for another band, and came up with the verses of this tune. At the time, I was hooked on the specials, listening to them a TON! I was really obsessed with the energy of that LP, and was thinking about how barely any bands have truly captured that energy, and that really drove the record into the direction it took.
Lyrically...
HAPPY DEATH OF THE HEART RELEASE DAY
HELLO PATREON! It's finally here. I've been working for the last year on this record, AND I WANT TO ESPECIALLY WANNA THANK Y'ALL! I wouldn't have been able to create this record (or really anything) without y'alls support! I know some of y'all are here for the covers (and many COOL ASS COVERS ARE COMING SOON), but I think that this record will really resonate with anyone who listens to it. I hope y'all love it too!
Big thank you to the studio JER band. We tracked this record (semi) liv...

Happy Friday!
One week from today, the next JER record 💔Death of the heart💔 will be out everywhere! 🥳🎉🎊✨
It’s been a week since the third single off of the record, I’d like to be better released. This includes the music video on the Bad Time Records YouTube!
This video was a lot of fun, and I’m so happy with how it turned out! I produced all three videos mainly by myself, with some help from friends recording and starring in it.

WHERE ARE YOU?!
SO this hit early access nearly 2 months ago... and it was supposed to hit youtube over a month ago... but i haven't been home since basically may, and the wifi I had was weak as hell... so it's been a struggle getting ANYTHING up. This is basically why uploads have been a little sparse.
BUT stoked this one is finally out! I've wanted to cover this song for so long, and y'all have requested the HELL out of it! SO i hope you enjoy! Definitely the best blink arra...

Hey, y’all!
I wanted to give an update on where I’m at and what’s happening! I basically haven’t been home since may lol
I’m sure you all have seen the JER band is announcing a bunch of shows and new record stuff! I’m organizing all of this while on the road 😵💫 I teach marching band and drum corps between all the touring I do around the summer and fall, so I’m editing videos for hours after teaching in the sun for 8+ hours lol

I’ve wanted to give this one a ska treatment for a WHILE! The summer is always a hard time for me because I’m teaching marching band, but I recorded this one back in MAY and got it out just in time for the birthday of this nation

Killer Tofu (The Beets) SKA COVER
AAAAA-EEEEE-OOOOOO! KILLER TOFUUUUUU!!!
WHY IS THIS TRACK SUCH A BANGER! I always had this in the faintest corners of my memory. Born in 95, Doug was just ending syndication when I was starting to watch tv more as a kid.
It wasn’t until way later when Brent (my friend / booking agent) said it would be a banger, so it stuck out when I saw it a few times in the Patreon request folder. The fact that the fictional band the beets is obviously a parody on the Beatles, it made it wor...

Hello, Patreon!
Here's the link to the google drive access! I just uploaded 12 covers to this drive, covering everything since the end of january! Sorry this took so long, during that time I was also demoing an entire record and flying across the country to record it.
Been a busy time for me, but catching back up (and now im actually ahead on my covers by over a month) SO you can now access all the audio files for my videos over the late winter and spring!!!

Pokemon Red & Blue (Title Track) SKA COVER
POKEMON HEP AND RUDE!!!
YEARS AGO, I covered this one and i really loved the arrangement, but I definitely did not have the chops as a producer to pull it off exactly how I visioned it.
The opening starts out with this ska-punk riff, but quickly shifts into a homage to the skatalites. The record hi-bop ska in particular. The drums are as close to a Lloyd Knibb trad ska style, with the bass being directly inspired by many basslines found on that record, the authentic Jamaica ska...

THIS SONG WAS MEANT TO BE SKA!
Someone in the comments said it so well, "from Herb Alpert to Fishbone and Madness" hahaha this song definitely had that vague latin feel, but something about it was so ska... so now it's in its TRUEST form IMHO!!!
This one has been requested quite a bit! Especially back in 2020, when I was doing the cartoon network cover record, I meant to do this one, but also glad i've held off because I've grown so much over that time! This show was one of my f...

I finally have the chops to pull this one off lmao, something that comes with these video game songs is the fact that they are MUCH harder than they seem. The melody line is SUCH a large range, and I first tried to cover this I wanna say... in 2020? I could barely pull it off with every horn. The Trumpet part in particular goes HIGH as HELL!
BUT i've been getting better at trumpet (and every instrument in general) SO I feel so accomplished finally pulling off ...
