Mendon Hale

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I grew up listening to a diverse variety of music. I listened to a lot of country music from Randy Travis, Alabama and Dwight Yoakam, and rock music from George Thorogood, John Cougar Mellencamp and Van Halen. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? George Thorogood & The Destroyers, The Baddest of George Thorogood and the Destroyers John Cougar Mellencamp, Scarecrow (Bonus Track) [2005 Remaster] Van Halen, Fair Warning I chose these albums because I've listened to them all probably a million times. I love the midwestern small town rock of Scarecrow, the overall badassness of Thorogood and the kick in the face of Van Halen. 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. “Girly Drinks” I love this song because it's seems pretty silly and tongue in cheek when talking about drinks, but is actually deeper than it appears, becuase it's talking about missing a past love. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Releasing music has always a memorable moment in my career. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Although I have done a lot in my career, I have a big bucket list and there are too many to list. I feel that everyday there is something new to put in that bucket.
