The Mean Time


The Mean Time is a show hosted by aspiring musicians Jared Gaines and Patrick Gilchrist about life in LA on the road to success.

Jared Gaines is an artist/songwriter/producer with an extensive catalog who tours as a full time guitarist. Patrick Gilchrist is an artist/director with a dedicated following on tiktok who has toured around the world.

Each week we will recount events that take place “in the mean time” from the glamorous writing sessions, video shoots, and tours, to the not so glamorous gig work, side hustles, and part-timing that comes standard with living in Los Angeles. The show will feature occasional guests, pulling from artists we’ve met in these sessions, shoots, and tours to share stories about their own journeys.
