with not one, but two amazing people right now, Segi e Show and
Lisa Loeb. Now Segi is with a band called Straight No Chaser, and
that band and Lisa Lobe will be in Omaha and also in a couple places
in Minnesota, and they've got their big tour kicking off this Friday. Ladies
First, Lisa, are you excited for this tour? I am. I'm
really excited. You know. I'm a really big fan of the band,
and it's just amazing. When I listen to Straight No Chaser, I'm always
really impressed with what they're doing with their voices. But then when you see
them live, it's crazy and the songs they choose also are some of my
favorites from different decades, and I just I love going on tour with another
group that has a great. You know, that kind of music lends itself
to a great audience as well, so that's sort of the perfect combination for
a concert. And it's a summer the nineties tour and again we've got Seggie
joining us here from Straight No Chaser. Let's talk a little bit about this
band and who all is in this band, because that's kind of fun,
isn't it It is. It's a lot of fun. It's kind of a
glorified college reunion if you will. You know, we started Straight No Chaser
back at Indian University kind of just is our way to meet women because we
couldn't play sports very nice. And it worked, didn't it. Eventually.
We're all married with kids now, so it worked. Eventually we were able
to convince some ladies to say yes. But it's a group. We starved
in college and after we graduated put some videos on YouTube to reminisce and one
of those videos just accidentally caught fire and felt the attention of Atlantic Records signed
us, pulled us up out of our ninety five jobs, and here we
are, sixteen years later, still doing the thing, and I just think
that's really fun and it's it's you guys, are doing what you love to
do, and you get to go on and perform for live audiences all over
the place, and there's no energy quite like that, is there. Oh
it's the best I mean, And it's not even just about you know,
our relationship with audience. You know, we get to meet and collaborate and
work with incredible artists like Lisa. This is going to be so much fun.
I mean, the nineties has just such a wide variety of music.
I don't think there's another decade that has the just the breadth of music from
so many different genres. You know, when we're kind of constructing the set
list, you know, we have the advantage of being able to cherry pick
the greatest hits ever. So when we're looking at the set list, there's
just so much music from the nineties. So I'm thinking there's going to be
you know, five or six summers of nineties tours coming up here because it's
just such an incredible decade. Well, and the tour kicks off on Friday,
but you're going to be in our neighborhood. We're in Sioux Fall,
South Dakota, so it doesn't take long, just a couple hours to drive
south to Omaha. You're there on the twenty first, and then Waite Park,
Minnesota on the twenty third, and Duluth on the twenty fourth, So
you're in this neighborhood for a couple of shows. So I got a feel
and we're going to be getting out to see you at one of those.
It's not a long drive and it'd be well worth it, wouldn't it be?
Lisa? Oh, Yeah, definitely. It's so fun to see people
live and in person, you know, like whether we get to say hi
to each other, we get to see the audience and meet people and see
friends on the road. After so many years of kind of like seeing people
over the internet, there's just nothing. It's just something different being able to
connect with people in real life. And Lisa, do you remember the first
time you heard one of your songs on the radio? Do you remember like
that moment when you're gone by I do, that's my And what was that
Like? What was that experience when you're you're just listening to the radio and
all of a sudden, Lisa Lobe, You're like, wait a minute,
that's me. Yeah, It's almost like when I'm in CBS nowadays and almost
every other time I'm there, one of my songs comes on CV at CBS.
They've got me on high rotation, even deep cuts, not just the
song's day I missed you. I know, I always stopped, I'm like,
this is my song? Or ere I get phone calls. But I
remember one of the first times I ever heard it was going down for a
radio promotion, which was something I had been on college radio. And I
was actually even a DJ in high school in Dallas at our radio station way
down on the bottom of the eighty eight point five FM. But hearing your
song come over the air with that compression, and also because it was a
pop it was it was considered a pop song, so you know, you
had the DJ with it here in nineties, well, I don't know how
how they would say you can do it better than I can, but you
know, it's like the nineties. And I remember being in a white limousine
a radio promo guy Bubba, who I'm still friendly with. I remember they
picked us up in this white limousine and it came on the radio, and
it just it blows you away. It's so strange. And then also the
context, you know, like I'm a singer song writer, with a rock
band, played in New York, played all through college, and then to
hear myself back to back with like Mariah Carey and you know, people that
you don't necessarily think that you get played on the radio next to it.
It was very Uh, it was a magical moment. And luckily I had
a lot of friends, longtime friends around me to help me appreciate it while
it was happening, because it could be quite a whirlwind. And the other
thing, you have music that's been featured in movies as well, So in
addition to you know, hear it on radio, just be watching a movie
and boom, there's one of my songs right there in this movie. That's
got to be cool. Oh yeah it is. And I talk about this
a lot when I play concerts because those songs, we know that they're going
to be there. Actually, although the first time I saw you know,
there's music supervisors and they ask you to write a song for a particular scene
from the character's point of view, and you hope that it gets into the
movie that you write it for. Sometimes you just end up with a song
that you never knew you would write because it was inspired by a script.
But the first time I ever saw Stay that I mean Reality Bites, which
is where my songs Stay was first before it was on one of my own
albums. I remember sitting at the premiere waiting and waiting. I was like,
oh my god, maybe I didn't understand. They said they were going
to put the song in the movie, and we came to the premiere and
everything, and you know, we're here with Wenona Ryter and Ethan Hawk and
Ben still earn my song's not even in the movie. I'm so embarrassed.
And at the very very very end, the song came on and it's full,
you know, the entire song. They played during the credits, and
so it was there. I was like, whoof. I was getting nervous
there. I love it well, Lisa, thank you so much for your
time. Seggie, thank you for your time. And I'm excited for your
tour. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. Yeah,
it's going to be an absolute glass. Thank you so much again. The
tour kicks off this Friday, but they're going to be in our neighborhood a
little later this month. They will be in Amaha, Nebraska on the twenty
first of July, they'll be in Duluth, Minnesota on the twenty fourth,
and I guess Wait Park on the twenty third, So in this neighborhood,
coming your way, real, real soon. I've got a link to all
