I do everything for music and my career, and it was just slipping away from me at that point...with addiction, it's the pat. We talk about powerlessness a lot, a lot when we lose the things that are most important to us for a drink or a drug.
Imagine being told you might never walk, let alone play guitar. That's the reality Brandon Mendenhall faced, born with cerebral palsy and limited mobility on his left side. In this riveting episode of 'Rock to Recovery', host Wesley Geer dives into Brandon's awe-inspiring journey from physical setbacks to shredding guitar on stage. Joined by Sébastien Paquet, the director of the documentary 'Mind Over Matter', they discuss how Brandon defied the odds to pursue his passion for music.
Brandon's love for Nine Inch Nails and the unique significance of the seven-string guitar in his life add rich layers to his story. This episode isn't just about music; it's about resilience, the power of support, and finding light in the darkest moments. Perfect for anyone needing a dose of inspiration or fascinated by the intersection of music and recovery.
