How “Fallout” Broadened My Musical Horizons

Video games and music are two passions that hold a special place in my heart. My bandmates, who became lifelong friends, were also my gaming buddies. We spent countless days playing a robust lineup of Halo, Smash Bros., and Mario Kart—back in its prime. Amidst our competitive bouts, I couldn’t help but savor the soundtracks echoing from the speakers. The iconic Halo Opening Suite is as monumental to me as the first time I experienced Mahler’s Symphony No. 5.

Employee Spotlight | The Man, The Myth, The Mather

We are so excited to be bringing back a series that has remained dormant since 2019, and that would be our Employee Spotlights! We have some truly wonderful people working here at Paige’s Music, and I’m looking forward to sitting down with each and every one of them (whether they like it or not) to highlight what makes them such an integral part of Paige’s Music. Up first is the “vibe master” himself, Trevor Mather! Trevor was a fresh graduate of Ball State University when he started working at Paige’s Music in 2021. Since then, he has quickly established himself as a go to resource for students and pros alike looking to upgrade their gear. On top of his responsibilities here at the store, Trevor puts his Jazz Performance degree to work with the Hickey-Schanafelt 9ollective, as well as various other groups in the Indy jazz scene. One thing that always amazes me about Trevor is his ability to balance his work, with the things he enjoys for fun, which includes but is not limited to: Bowling, Running, Videogames, Fishing, Grilling, and being a good father to his cat, Poko. We’re truly fortunate to have someone like Trevor add to
