On this episode of Big Blend Radio’s "Rants, Raves & Rock ‘n Roll" show, we jam with Jon Dawson of Third of Never about their brand new album and soundtrack, “Damage the Pearl.” The project grew from a collection of songs into a full-on road-movie film collaboration with director Brent Clark — a creative leap that celebrates the band’s instinct, individuality, and unstoppable drive.

Jon shares the serendipitous (and sometimes hilarious) chain of events that shaped Third of Never: chance meetings, cross-state collaborations, legendary guest musicians, and the fearless blending of genres that gives the band its signature sound. We talk creative process, surviving the modern music landscape, turning life into art, and how music becomes both escape and emotional anchor.

This conversation spotlights how embracing your creative instincts leads to unexpected magic — whether you’re scoring a film, building a band, or crafting songs that hit straight to the soul.
