NEPA Scene

In Episode 3, we sit down with singer/songwriter Aaron Fink, known for his solo work as well as for playing in multi-platinum-selling rock band Breaking Benjamin, The Badlees, Gentleman East, Lifer, Strangers with Candy, and Stardog Champion. We talk about his experiences in these bands and why they eventually led him to becoming a singer/songwriter; his latest solo album, “Galaxies,” and working on the new Gentleman East record; how he initially got into music and his very first band; why he chose to live in NEPA; being on MTV when it was still relevant; the ever-changing music industry and figuring out how to find success in 2017; the local music scene and the difficulty in getting people to come out and support live original music these days; his writing and recording process; growing as an artist and defining success as following what you’re passionate about; and more, including Aaron answering some live viewer questions. In The Last Word segment, John rants about April the giraffe having her baby for the entire Internet to (eventually) see, and we briefly discuss good and bad uses of live streaming.
