Jeris Johnson, DRAGONBORN, and the Importance of the Rockstar | Chord Progression Podcast Interview

As rock and metal have begun a return to resurgence in pop culture popularity in the 2020's, we are getting closer and closer to the next "golden age" of heavy music?

But what is causing this resurgence to a golden age? Who are the artists and the rockstars making this happen? Why are rockstars something that we need? And what is it about the new music being made that is causing metal to thrive? We have one of the artists massively emerging in this to show you.

Jeris Johnson joins the Chord Progression Podcast today with his new album, Dragonborn, ready to be released on August 23rd. On this episode, go deep with Jeris Johnson and us as we talk about:

• Music being a marathon and not a sprint, and why Jeris is always looking to improve in music, knowing authenticity and passion will shine through. A reason why he is massively endorsed by Ronnie Radke.
• The reason why metal music is growing, but has not hit the next golden age just yet, and the reason why we are all attracted to rockstars.
• A look into the new album DRAGONBORN, and why this album is just another step the in ever-evolving sound that Jeris has.
