If you grew up in the Chicago over the past 20+ year, chances are you've watched some JBTV. The local TV show hosted by the great Jerry Bryant has been instrumental in launching careers and exposing bands for decades, including my band Stabbing Westward.
JBTV, like many businesses, has been struggling through the pandemic. Papa Roach has stepped up and has offered a message asking for help on JBTV's behalf.
They released a new video for Broken As Me" featuring Danny Wornsnop of Asking Alexandria which starts with a message reaching out to fans to help raise funds to rebuild the studios.
It's great to see bands helping out those who helped them in the beginning. Let's help save this Chicago music institution!
Long live JBTV!
