“Distractions: Vol. 3”
(Slow Start Records)
Out Now
Track Listing:
01. I Got Lost (STREAM | MP3 | LYRIC VIDEO)
02. Call It A Feeling
03. I’ll Be Around
“‘I Got Lost’ came out very different
than I thought it would. When I play it by myself, it sounds like a stoner folk
song about a dude that doesn’t like his job. In its final version, I feel like
it came out as a prog folk song where Sunny
Day Real Estate meets Pink Floyd.”

Jared Putnam was the recent subject of a Q&A with Twangville and a guest blog at Pure Grain Audio.
“I do go to Waffle House, at least once a tour,
because we don’t have them in San Antonio. That’s a guilty pleasure.” Read
more at Twangville here.
“I write and record a lot of music, and really wanted
to push myself by committing to releasing something every other month in 2019.
There have been moments when I wish I had never said I was going to do that out
loud.” Read
more at Pure Grain Audio here.

Jared Putnam of The March
Divide is a prolific songwriter, and has developed his style in public by
releasing material at a non-stop pace. A deeper, more personal, and risk-taking
approach to his lyrics took hold with Putnam’s
most recent full-length, 2018’s Anticipation Pops, and continues
with the “Distractions” series of
singles that is now up to its third volume just out, and a fourth volume just
completed.
The three-song “Distractions:
Vol. 3” contains the Sunny Day Real
Estate meets Pink Floyd tune “I Got Lost,” which can be heard here.
“‘Distractions’
is something I came up with as a way to continue to release the music I’m
working on, between albums,” Putnam
explains. “The name refers to the fact that when I’m writing and recording
these songs, it’s usually a distraction from the things that I feel like I
should be doing, like the business part of what I do. But at the end of the
day, writing and recording is all I ever want to do anyway.”
Showing audiences more and more of what he’s about has
helped The March Divide build a
loyal following in the markets that Putnam
frequently visits, and he’s not only a good showman on stage, he takes the time
in-between songs and after the gig to connect with fans. It’s a personal touch
that’s keeping him in business.
It’s Putnam’s
affable way of grinding it out and hustling that has allowed him to do the
thing most touring songwriters are unable to do, which is to keep on doing it
at all. His growing fanbase funds the tour and their belief and appreciation of
Putnam’s work has pushed him to his
best songwriting to date.
The new three-song single “Distractions Vol. 3” by The
March Divide is out now. “Distractions
Vol. 2,” “Distractions Vol. 1,” and
Anticipation
Pops, the fourth full-length album by The March Divide, are also all available now via Slow Start Records. “Distractions Vol. 4” is in the works.
Look for Jared Putnam out on the
road throughout 2019.
