Jake Ballard

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Being a little kid, seeping in the corner on a pile of jackets at a seemingly endless stream of contemporary dance rehearsals. The music I heard here, anything from avant-garde soundscapes to dreamy piano kicked off my subconscious. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Dr. John, Gris-Gris Fenton Robinson, Somebody Loan Me a Dime Link Wray, Link Wray These three albums are good for driving, hanging, jamming, cooking, celebrating, when you're down, when you're up, when you're walking, when you're talking, when your smoking, when it's dark, when it's sunny... when you're looking for something... Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Wishing Well” I like this one because it drives you forward through the hard times. The drinking, being unsure, being ready to give up. At the end of playing it I usually feel better. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? That time the band played 7 hours straight with whales breaching on a boat off the coast of Cape George. The Captain smoked a pipe and the women looked like mermaids. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Collaborate more, perform more, create more, write more, play more, collaborate more, perform more, create more, write more, play more...
