[Exclusive Press SINGLE] HEAR RADIO’S DEAD NOW !

Radio’s Dead [The Album], coming November 2021, is a genre-bending, LO-FI journey through the highs and lows of the life of the touring artist. Jesse Stone Creatchman, the wordsmith, sings songs about living in Bushwick, a wild-turn affair in Pennsylvania, some nightmarish experiences on the road, his divorce, drug abuse, his time in AA, the death of a friend, and ultimately finding solace in his roots, his music and his family. Stone lays it all on the table, the good the bad, and the ugly. The album puts Stone’s “poetic lyrical prowess and expansive stylistic range” (The Montreal Gazette 2015) on full display. The album is clever, it’s provocative and it’s got one heck of a guest list. Every song is a story on this autobiographical concept album by one of Canada's most daring and inspiring lyricists.

“In with the new, out with the old. Laundromat cycles of hanging the fold.

The colours washed out, the linen was frayed. I rolled down the Overton window.

Scalped me a ticket, caught most the show. Casino roulette at the Russian ballet.

It’s fine, I can see it both ways. I’ll settle as long as I’m paid ”
