Speaker 1: Huh thanks man, Yeah, brand new.

24
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 11: Wow, that is fantastic. If you're just joining us, Willie

25
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:09,840
Chases here with us live in studio on this Saturday morning.

26
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:14,520
That's very cold Saturday morning. But yeah, that's how new

27
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:16,160
was that. You said you just wrote that with a

28
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,079
friend who didn't know you were going to play it today.

29
00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:18,680
Is that true?

30
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: That's pretty accurate.

31
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:24,759
Speaker 12: We just had our last co writing session maybe a

32
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,480
week ago, and I had written the song thread probably

33
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,759
five or six months ago. It sat for a while

34
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,920
in my in my voice notes on iPhone, as a

35
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:39,199
lot of them do, and then I threw it over

36
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:42,439
to my friend Ian Gallipo, who's from the Keen area,

37
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,759
and he liked it, kind of wrote a chorus to it,

38
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:49,319
maybe some verse parts, I think, and then we just

39
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,160
put our heads together over a video.

40
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: Chat and kind of hammered it out.

41
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,439
Speaker 12: I had written that bridge, and yeah, it kind of

42
00:04:57,439 --> 00:04:59,920
came together, and then I was kind of like, holy cow,

43
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:01,959
have a song, you know what I mean, which is

44
00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:03,480
a really cool moment as a songwriter.

45
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 11: I feel like Ian Gallipos a name that's come up

46
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:07,959
on the show. I don't think he's ever been on.

47
00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:10,079
I always say I don't think he's ever been on,

48
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:12,319
because it does become I've been doing this a long time.

49
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,959
It does become a little bit of a blur, of course,

50
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,199
but I don't think he's been on the show. But

51
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,959
I feel like, his name comes up a lot on

52
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:17,439
the show.

53
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's awesome. So I work a lot with the

54
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:20,879
New Hampshire Music Collective.

55
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 11: That might be how I've why I've heard his name.

56
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:26,439
Speaker 12: Yeah, Yeah, so he's he's, you know, a member of

57
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,680
the collective as well, does all sorts of stuff with

58
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,560
that and other things.

59
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,519
Speaker 1: But that's how I met him. And he's great.

60
00:05:32,519 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 4: Man.

61
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 12: If you've never heard his song little Things, check it out.

62
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,720
It's a gut wrencher be ready to cry. Yeah, But

63
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,120
he's just an incredible lyricist. He's an incredible musician and

64
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,040
a down to earth guy. You know, he's really enjoyable

65
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,920
to be around. So I had a really good experience

66
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,439
writing with him, you know. In the level that I'm

67
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,160
at right now, there's no skin in the game really,

68
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,560
you know what I mean. I'm kind of just starting

69
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,720
out on the songwriting journey over the last few years.

70
00:05:55,879 --> 00:05:56,199
Speaker 11: Really.

71
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, And I've been a musician my whole life. I

72
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,720
can fill you in on the back story if you want.

73
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,519
But with the end, it's just great because we it's

74
00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:06,240
just pure creativity, you know what I mean. Two musicians

75
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,279
hanging out writing a song. There's no pressure to do anything,

76
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,959
and for whatever reason, I was just kind of had

77
00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:14,399
that feeling when we were doing that together, and and

78
00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:16,600
that's what it's all about for me. Yeah, those kind

79
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,000
of experiences and writing music and being just purely creative.

80
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 11: No doubt. So you you've been a musician for a

81
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,600
long time, as you said, but you only started writing

82
00:06:25,639 --> 00:06:26,639
songs a few years ago.

83
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I quote unquote have written other stuff.

84
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 11: Yeah.

85
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,319
Speaker 12: I was a horn player in high school. I was

86
00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:35,959
our class instrumentalist. I was in like every music group,

87
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:38,639
did all of it, show choir, I did a lot

88
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:39,000
of theater.

89
00:06:40,399 --> 00:06:40,759
Speaker 1: I was.

90
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 12: I started in high school musical when I was in

91
00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:46,879
high school, all sorts of you know of stuff to

92
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,000
leave me on my musical journey. And then I kinda

93
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:51,519
I kind of went a totally different direction for the

94
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,839
last decade. I got a degree in resort management and

95
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:57,079
have worked at ski resorts and done all men or

96
00:06:57,079 --> 00:06:58,800
of other things. But I never put down the guitar.

97
00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:00,920
That's kind of what kept it alive for me. And

98
00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:02,959
then yeah, like three years ago, I had a really

99
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:04,920
good friend who was living around here, and she convinced

100
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,959
me to go to an open mic up at Patrick's

101
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,319
Pub in Guildford, New Hampshire. That's where I met John MacArthur,

102
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,040
who's one of the owners of the New Hampshire Music Collective.

103
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, we had him on the show. He's great.

104
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 12: Yeah, he's awesome. Can't say enough good things about him.

105
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:19,639
And you know, especially in this context with the opportunities

106
00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:21,519
he's given me playing a lot of these bar gigs

107
00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:25,959
and stuff around here, which is just it's like with anything, right,

108
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,360
if you want to be really good, you got to

109
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,399
just put in time and hard work. It's kind of

110
00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:31,199
the grind that I've been on these last few years

111
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:31,959
since doing that.

112
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,519
Speaker 1: And then you know, I've.

113
00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 12: Like I said, I've been a musician my whole life,

114
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,920
and I have a really I lean really heavily on

115
00:07:37,959 --> 00:07:41,000
my ear. Yeah, and I can be judgmental in that way.

116
00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:44,040
So I think, as most musicians will probably tell you,

117
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:45,800
there's a lot of stuff that goes on with songwriting

118
00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:49,680
in terms of being hyper critical of yourself and self confidence,

119
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,839
releasing tracks and everything.

120
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: So you know, it's a slow process.

121
00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 12: But I'm in early production of making a record hopefully,

122
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:57,839
and you know, that might be one of the songs

123
00:07:57,879 --> 00:07:58,600
that's going to be on it.

124
00:07:58,839 --> 00:08:01,079
Speaker 11: Oh, I hope so yeah, yeah, it deserves it.

125
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,279
Speaker 12: That's totally good. Yeah, that's very kind of neat to say.

126
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:06,360
I yeah, it's it's something I'm really interested in. But

127
00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:07,720
like I said, it's it's just tough not to be

128
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:09,800
able to overly critical. But at this point in my life,

129
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,639
on my early thirties, I feel like it's a really

130
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:16,600
good place to be doing what I'm doing with music.

131
00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:20,000
I think that if I had gone right into music

132
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,199
school like I kind of wanted to after high school,

133
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:24,160
after doing all that stuff, I don't think it would

134
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,000
have gone well. I think I was on the edge

135
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,319
of burnt out really because yeah, I mean we had

136
00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:31,079
jazz band practices every morning before school. At six forty,

137
00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:36,519
it was taking trumpet lessons. It's just completely saturated in music. Yeah,

138
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,639
and not really knowing you know, at that point in

139
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,240
my life, you know, late teens, early twenties, you're just

140
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,200
figuring out who you are, right. So all the experiences

141
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,759
I've had over the last ten years of not being

142
00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:48,320
involved in music, I think have just fueled this crazy

143
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,919
fire that I have now to write and collaborate with

144
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,080
people and just really like I just started taking guitar

145
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:56,879
lessons a couple you know, maybe a month or two

146
00:08:57,159 --> 00:08:59,919
ago with a really great guy. So I'm actually put

147
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,120
some of the old theory knowledge that I have to

148
00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:04,919
use with like the fifteen years of guitar playing, just

149
00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:07,799
playing songs that I like to hear and play. Yeah,

150
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:10,440
So it just feels really, really awesome, and I'm really

151
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,159
grateful to be here doing what I'm doing now.

152
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,879
Speaker 11: You know, during the span of time where you you know,

153
00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:18,720
you had kind of gotten away from it all, did

154
00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:21,759
you always kind of know that you would come back

155
00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:24,519
to it, or did you really at the time kind

156
00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:26,879
of feel like you know that was you know, I'm

157
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,720
sort of done with that. I'm sort of burnt out

158
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:29,039
on it.

159
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 12: If you asked me that question years ago, I probably

160
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,960
would have told you the latter. I probably would have

161
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,080
told you now, you know, And I think that comes

162
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,080
from being jaded and my no, through no fault of

163
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,639
his own, my trumpet teacher was one of the ones

164
00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:44,440
who convinced me not to go to school for like

165
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,919
performance really yeah, which how much of that was actually

166
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,279
him and how much of it was in my head?

167
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,159
I can't really tell you, but you know, and his

168
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,720
point was very valid. You know, forty years ago there

169
00:09:55,799 --> 00:09:58,039
was just so many horn players working in places like

170
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,840
New York. Boss, you know, all these clubs and theaters

171
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,399
have live orchestras, and now it's just a percentage of

172
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,120
what that was. So yeah, the statistics just make it

173
00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:09,559
pretty daunting. Yeah, but I think subconsciously, very deep down there,

174
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,159
to answer your question, I think it was inevitable of

175
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,919
coming back to music. I mean, it's just such a

176
00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:16,320
part of me. It's part of who I am, been

177
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:18,240
part of who I am since a very young age.

178
00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:20,960
And like I said, you know, I rely heavily on

179
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,320
my ear. I don't like to say I have a

180
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,200
good ear because it's like what does that mean? But

181
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:26,799
I just the way I hear music and interpret music

182
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:29,759
is so ingrained with everything else about me, and it

183
00:10:29,759 --> 00:10:33,960
affects my you know, emotions, It affects my goals, it

184
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,120
affects you know. So I think it was it was inevitable.

185
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 11: Yeah, no doubt. Well I'm dying to hear another one.

186
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:39,399
If you want to play.

187
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:41,799
Speaker 1: Another live shirt for us, Yeah, if.

188
00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 11: You're just joining us, will he chases here with us

189
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:49,360
alive in studio and playing some stuff and that guitar sounds.

190
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:50,720
I love the way that guitar sounds.

191
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:51,879
Speaker 1: Thanks man, Yeah, it's uh.

192
00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:55,639
Speaker 12: Since you can't see it, it's a rain song, fully

193
00:10:55,639 --> 00:10:59,240
composite guitar. It's fully made of carbon fiber, and really yeah,

194
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:03,120
the whole thing that, the bridge, the body, everything, the

195
00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:05,799
whole thing's carbon fiber. And the reason I got it

196
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:07,720
was I've I've got an old tailor that I really

197
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,279
really love, which you know, it's not a special instrument

198
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,440
by most people's standards, but it is to me. And

199
00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:14,879
playing all these gigs, like playing outside a lot, playing

200
00:11:14,919 --> 00:11:18,559
around campfires all my friends, was just getting trashed. So

201
00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:20,399
you know, I saved up some tip money and got

202
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,519
this thing, and it just holds tune really consistently. I

203
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,120
don't have to worry as much about it. But it

204
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:27,039
turns out that despite all of that, it's a really

205
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,159
fun guitar to play, and it sounds great plugged in.

206
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,480
You know, it's a little tinny acoustically if you're gonna

207
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,200
make it up, because it's not very it's pretty cold.

208
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,679
But right, right, So this next song, I go a

209
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,679
bunch of different directions, so forgive me, but this is

210
00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:44,879
what I like to call cheap country song. But this

211
00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:47,399
this song, it has some country roots, but it's it's

212
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,480
it's deeper than that. It's about kind of being in

213
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,919
a bad place and this vision I had of of,

214
00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:56,120
you know, if I didn't kind of get my act

215
00:11:56,159 --> 00:11:58,600
together and you know, have a few less beers and

216
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,399
stop feeling sorry for myself. It was kind of a

217
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:02,440
place where I was gonna end up. So it's a

218
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,360
little bit about that. But yeah, this song is called

219
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,919
I don't know what this song is called. Oh I

220
00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:11,519
guess it's called Pushing my Luck something like that. Okay,

221
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,679
so it's a country song and g about that.

222
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,519
Speaker 11: All right? There we go Willie Chase live.

00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: Voice, appreciate it.

265
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,399
Speaker 11: Is there anyone who influences you vocally? Is there anyone

266
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,799
you try to kind of sound like?

267
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 12: It's probably an amalgamation of like twenty five people. Yeah, yeah,

268
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,799
there'd be some easy ones to name, But honestly, recently,

269
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,600
I've just been trying to sound like me. I think

270
00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:43,480
in the past I've tried to sound country singing country

271
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,399
because of like the way I listen to music. I like,

272
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,759
if I love a song, I'll just try to play

273
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:51,000
it sound just like it, you know what I mean, Yeah,

274
00:15:51,039 --> 00:15:53,720
which gives me great satisfaction to be able to be like, yeah,

275
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,080
I can play that song right. One thing I'm kind

276
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,440
of figuring out or thinking more about now that I'm

277
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,000
writing my own stuff is just, you know, how to

278
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,440
I sound like me? How do I convey even if

279
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,840
it's that feeling? But but you know, be unique? So

280
00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:09,200
but but yeah, vocally, I mean, you know, I'm sure

281
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,159
a lot of people would say this is an influence.

282
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,720
But Chris Stapleton, I think has an amazing voice. You know,

283
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,960
he's he's great. I'm a little below that, so you know,

284
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,799
I would I would say another vocal influence, even though

285
00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:22,480
I don't think he's a great vocalist.

286
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: I don't like being negative.

287
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,799
Speaker 12: But but David Gilmore, Yeah, you know, I think the

288
00:16:27,879 --> 00:16:30,720
way that he sang was just really soulful and honest.

289
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 11: I know exactly what you mean. Yeah, he's not a

290
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:35,159
great like from a technical stand right, He's there's nothing

291
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,960
great about him at all. But yeah, but you're right though,

292
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,919
for what he's doing, for what Pink Floyd is supposed

293
00:16:40,919 --> 00:16:41,360
to sound like.

294
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know. And I was fortunate when I

295
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,919
was younger, I had some good coaches. I had.

296
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,279
Speaker 12: One of our theater directors was a Boston Pops pianist,

297
00:16:50,279 --> 00:16:53,919
great woman, Jill Wriggles, God Rest your soul and she.

298
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:56,759
Speaker 1: You know, that was a lot of like theater based stuff.

299
00:16:56,799 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 12: So yeah, I think from early on I had a

300
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,519
good foundation of like brief and you know, despite the

301
00:17:02,519 --> 00:17:04,319
fact that I'm sitting back in my chair, like sitting

302
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,720
on that sit on the front of your chair like

303
00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:10,279
put vocal support, you know, single and then also YouTube great,

304
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:12,920
there's great like vocal instructors on YouTube that can give

305
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,680
you tips on warming up and all this stuff. So yeah,

306
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,279
I don't know if that answered your question, but oh definitely.

307
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 11: I don't know if you notice I kind of reacted

308
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,599
when he said Chris Stapleton, because if I were to

309
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,119
choose all the singer songwriters we've had on the show

310
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,319
over the years, if I were to choose the number

311
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,079
one name that comes up in conversation as far as influence,

312
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,720
it's Chris Staple. Yeah, everybody.

313
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:37,599
Speaker 1: He's a monster.

314
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:40,079
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean just you know, in the years he

315
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,839
spent writing before he was, you know, pop famous. I

316
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,920
especially like his stuff he did with the steel Drivers.

317
00:17:48,839 --> 00:17:51,319
Speaker 11: I've never I've never heard any of that Steel Drivers.

318
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,559
Speaker 12: Yeah, they're they're a bluegrass group, and he was he

319
00:17:53,599 --> 00:17:54,920
was there frontman and guitarist.

320
00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 11: I didn't even know that. Huh.

321
00:17:57,319 --> 00:17:57,519
Speaker 1: Yeah.

322
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,559
Speaker 12: Check it out, man. They've got a bunch of great tunes.

323
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,440
Blue Side of the Mountain, Angel of the Night, that's one. Sorry,

324
00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:08,920
do you don't mind if I play a few minutes?

325
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 5: No, go ahead, I love it.

326
00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:13,839
Speaker 1: This is the steel Driver's Angel of the Night.

327
00:18:14,839 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 3: Well, the music is playing in you have the Whiskey Saloon.

328
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:28,720
It comes through my window. I like my favorite tune.

329
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:36,359
I can walk down the stairway, I can walk down

330
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:42,000
the street, laid down my money.

331
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 13: Well it's not God, I mean, let me fly on

332
00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:56,759
your wings rather these earthly things they did all be

333
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,640
alright Angel of the Night.

334
00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's that's Chris Stapleton and the Steel Drivers.

335
00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 11: I've heard that song. I had no idea who it was,

336
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,680
but I recognize that song.

337
00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:11,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, great tune.

338
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,039
Speaker 11: Well, yeah, no, that's that's really good. That's really good.

339
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:15,920
You do a lot of when you play live. Do

340
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,000
you do a lot of covers or yeah?

341
00:19:18,079 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 12: Mostly covers. Yeah, I've got almost an hour of original

342
00:19:20,799 --> 00:19:22,640
music that can do. I'll stretch it and do a

343
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,160
little storytelling. Yeah yeah, but but yeah, mostly covers. I mean,

344
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,279
you know, for the for the gigs that I'm doing

345
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,119
right now, you know, the main point is entertaining everybody

346
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,519
at the bar and stuff, and you know, oftentimes people

347
00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:37,000
respond well to my music, which is you know, just

348
00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:39,880
great and validating, and but you know, people want to

349
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,119
hear what they want to hear, right when they're having

350
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,039
a beer, which is which I totally understand, and I

351
00:19:44,039 --> 00:19:45,599
think I kind of love that. You know, I look

352
00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:48,960
at those gigs as a challenge. You know, how do

353
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,039
you get people's interest, how do you get foot feet tapping?

354
00:19:52,079 --> 00:19:54,160
You know, how do you get people turning around and going, WHOA,

355
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:54,759
who's this guy?

356
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: Right? Or whatever?

357
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,279
Speaker 12: And that's a challenge to me. And I mean, you

358
00:19:57,319 --> 00:19:59,160
know that's that's how you make tips. Any performer will

359
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,799
tell you. But yeah, financially it's a good strategy. But

360
00:20:03,799 --> 00:20:05,680
but that's you know, from the beginning, that's always been

361
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,160
the fun part. It's like, how do you get people

362
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,440
to notice you? Because that means they're enjoying it, right,

363
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,240
They're having a cool experience, they're listening to the music.

364
00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:16,759
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, no doubt. How did you get involved with

365
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,680
the with John MacArthur and the Collective because that's again

366
00:20:21,799 --> 00:20:24,039
such a great organization. And we had John on the show,

367
00:20:24,039 --> 00:20:25,920
and you know, we've had a lot of musicians on

368
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,119
the show who who work with them. And John, by

369
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,240
the way, is he's very very busy. Like when he

370
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,440
told us we were talking about the events, how many

371
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,359
events they do, and he told us the number that

372
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,519
he personally is at running. It's like, dude, you don't sleep.

373
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,359
It's staggering, which I which I admire. You know, But

374
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,000
but but how did how did you get involved?

375
00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:49,039
Speaker 1: Yeah?

376
00:20:49,079 --> 00:20:52,039
Speaker 12: So I I met John He I mean now hosts,

377
00:20:52,039 --> 00:20:54,279
but he goes to open mics around and kind of

378
00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:56,079
you know, looks for talent a little bit, I think,

379
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,519
but uh, yeah, I met him at Patrick's Pub, Guildford.

380
00:21:01,599 --> 00:21:04,400
We kind of hit it off and exchanged information. And

381
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,680
you know, at that point, I didn't have three hours

382
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,480
of consistent songs that I could play that were all

383
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,000
polished and yeah and done. You know, so it took

384
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,200
me a little while, but I played a bunch of

385
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,279
voting mics and and got my act together, and you know,

386
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,640
John and I kind of became friends. He would, uh,

387
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:20,559
he would give me a call. We live pretty close

388
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:22,000
to each other up there in the Lakes region, so

389
00:21:22,039 --> 00:21:22,720
he'd give me a call.

390
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: We'd go out and see somebody.

391
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,759
Speaker 12: You know, I'm I'm not afraid to share my opinion

392
00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:29,759
about other people, I guess in a friendship situation, which

393
00:21:29,799 --> 00:21:31,839
is but you know, I've been around a lot of

394
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,119
music in my life and been around really good musicians

395
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,920
and and you know, regardless of whatever, whatever I play,

396
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,480
I think I have a pretty good idea of you know,

397
00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:42,720
who's doing what or who's who's been practicing.

398
00:21:42,759 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: That's really all that comes down, right.

399
00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 12: But yeah, so we would go off for fun and

400
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,799
and you know, he would kind of ask my opinion

401
00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:51,119
about people. And you know, I'm not trying to say

402
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,720
that I'm judging jury but or anything, but we just

403
00:21:53,799 --> 00:21:55,559
kind of enjoyed it. You know, we enjoyed each other's

404
00:21:55,559 --> 00:21:58,160
presence and hanging out and talking about music and and

405
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,599
and John's just such a great guy.

406
00:22:01,039 --> 00:22:02,839
Speaker 1: You know, he's you.

407
00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 12: Know, in an in an industry that and I haven't

408
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,000
experienced this really, but in an industry there's a reportedly

409
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,839
very cutthroat people will say about music and arts and

410
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,400
you know, getting gigs and stuff. John is just somebody

411
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,920
who genuinely cares about everybody he works with. He genuinely

412
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,920
wants everybody to succeed. And he'll give you an opportunity

413
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,160
if you're working hard, no matter you know who we are,

414
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:24,960
what you look like, what you're doing, what kind of

415
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,480
music you're playing. He's just able to recognize people who

416
00:22:27,519 --> 00:22:30,839
are there for the right reasons and are working hard.

417
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,400
So I really respect that about John and his partner Brad,

418
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,400
who's the other half of the New Hampshire Music Collective,

419
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,880
who's an unbelievable guitarist. I'll have to recommend you his

420
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,960
him for the show too. But yeah, but but yeah,

421
00:22:44,079 --> 00:22:46,000
just John. You know, John's awesome, so from there, you know,

422
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,519
he was he was gracious enough to give me some

423
00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:51,599
gigs and you know, and I can crush the bar

424
00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:54,359
gain pretty well. I have a lot of nineties tunes

425
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,759
and I just I know, so like I just listened

426
00:22:56,759 --> 00:22:59,240
to so many different types of music that I have

427
00:22:59,319 --> 00:23:01,920
this kind of weird catalog. But it works great for

428
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,880
that situation, right because you never know who's going to

429
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:04,319
be in there.

430
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 11: Yeah.

431
00:23:05,519 --> 00:23:07,519
Speaker 12: Certain, you know, you think a lot of country, but

432
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:09,960
then like you play something yeah anyway, you know you

433
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,799
know what I'm saying. Oh yeah, yeah, So I've done

434
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:14,000
pretty well with the bar gigs and we have a

435
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:14,640
great thing going.

436
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: You know. I love working with those guys. It, yeah,

437
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,039
helps me. It's a great side hustle.

438
00:23:18,799 --> 00:23:22,519
Speaker 12: I do still have a day job unfortunately, but but yeah, no,

439
00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:23,559
it's awesome all around.

440
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 11: It's so important to find people who are who are

441
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:28,759
positive and honest, and you know, there are a lot

442
00:23:28,759 --> 00:23:31,640
of sharks, you know, so to be able to connect

443
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,480
with somebody like John and the NH Music Collective, it's

444
00:23:34,519 --> 00:23:38,920
so important. When we had Rebecca Turmel on the show

445
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,960
and we were talking about that too, because it's I

446
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,799
do feel like there, you know. I mean, there's there's

447
00:23:44,799 --> 00:23:46,920
some people you want to avoid, but I think generally,

448
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,400
I think the music scene, at least around here, is

449
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,519
people are pretty supportive of each other and want to

450
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:55,920
work together and uplift each other. I always contrast it

451
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,559
with I've listened to some podcasts over the years of

452
00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:03,279
stand up comics, and that my impression of that world

453
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,960
of stand up comedy. I mean, it's all part of

454
00:24:05,079 --> 00:24:08,119
live entertainment, but stand up comedy, as far as I

455
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,440
can tell, is very cutthroat, like everyone secretly hates each other,

456
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,720
everyone secretly wants to see each other fail, you know

457
00:24:13,759 --> 00:24:16,279
what I mean. That's just the impression that I get,

458
00:24:16,279 --> 00:24:20,440
the vibe that I get from it. Whereas I think, yeah,

459
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,440
there's there's always people you want to be careful of,

460
00:24:22,519 --> 00:24:24,559
but I think generally people are pretty supportive in the

461
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,920
music scene and yeah cool, you know, and and why

462
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,599
not be you know it doesn't, right, None of it's

463
00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:33,160
a zero sum game. You know, life is not a

464
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,759
zero s game. Just because somebody else is being successful,

465
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,799
that doesn't take something away from you. If anything, it

466
00:24:39,839 --> 00:24:42,119
should inspire you to maybe be able to do what

467
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:42,839
they're doing, you know.

468
00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:45,799
Speaker 12: So absolutely, that's a great perspective. And that's been my

469
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,000
experience or in the music scene around here. And I'm

470
00:24:48,039 --> 00:24:50,079
sure you've seen way more than I've been exposed to.

471
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,920
But yeah, so it's it's great. I think we got

472
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:52,680
a great thing going on.

473
00:24:52,759 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: Here, you know what I mean?

474
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 11: Yeah? Absolutely, yeah, absolutely fun. You want to play another one?

475
00:24:57,519 --> 00:25:00,519
Speaker 1: Sure? Yeah, yeah, definitely if.

476
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 11: You're just joining us. We have Willie Chase with us

477
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,240
live in studio. Oh, let me get that on.

478
00:25:06,039 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: I make sure those things in tune too.

479
00:25:07,759 --> 00:25:12,559
Speaker 12: It's cold outside, it is, Yeah.

480
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 11: I think it's the coldest morning we've had this season

481
00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:16,000
so far.

482
00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:19,319
Speaker 1: I believe it. Yeah, there's plenty of ice on my truck.

483
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,079
Speaker 12: Yeah, after sixty in raining what three days ago? I know, right,

484
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,359
that's this song. I've been playing this song out a

485
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,319
little bit. This is another song I wrote after coming

486
00:25:31,319 --> 00:25:32,960
out of a hard place. This is kind of about

487
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,440
just being who you are and getting back to yourself

488
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,720
and away from other toxic people.

489
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is called back to me.

490
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:44,839
Speaker 4: Fell into the ghosted you heartlem sleep, a fellow part

491
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,319
in front of you. I guiding your dreams.

492
00:26:59,519 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 3: God never ever gonna come back to you.

493
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 7: Oh no, no, baby, please forgive.

494

Speaker 5: Me, but I'm coming back to me.

495
00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 3: I'm coming back to me, watching through the window page

496
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:40,759
and trying to sleep, wondering if the rain could wash

497
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:57,480
you from my sheets. Oh time, never ever gonna come

498
00:27:57,599 --> 00:27:58,519

499
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 7: Oh no, no, baby, please forgive me, but I'm coming

500
00:28:08,519 --> 00:28:09,160

501
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 5: Me, back to me. I'm coming back to me.

502
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 11: Very nice, very nice. Willie Chase is here with us

503
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,599
live in studio, sounding great. And yeah, I think that's

504
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,599
a universal theme, you know. I think we've all had that, that.

505
00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:53,079
Speaker 12: Moment depitely and if you haven't, well you know it's coming.

506
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: That's right, That's right.

507
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, man, that that was that came from a dark place,

508
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,359
for sure. But there's always light at the end of

509
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,319
the tunnel, I guess.

510
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah, well it could be an oncoming train.

511
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:05,440
You never know.

512
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,319
Speaker 1: Sometimes it is, sometimes it is.

513
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,359
Speaker 11: No, No, I really like that a lot. Are you

514
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,160
playing out a lot? Are you doing a lot of shows.

515
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,079
It sounds like you are.

516
00:29:15,279 --> 00:29:15,559
Speaker 1: I am.

517
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, probably coming up on sixty or seventy book.

518
00:29:19,799 --> 00:29:23,039
Speaker 1: For next year already. Wow, And yeah, pretty much every weekend.

519
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 11: Good.

520
00:29:24,079 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 12: Been a little bit of a light stretch right now.

521
00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:30,079
I really just this past like August, I really kind

522
00:29:30,119 --> 00:29:32,519
of had a revelatory moment where I decided I was

523
00:29:32,519 --> 00:29:36,480
just gonna say no to nothing and say yes to

524
00:29:36,559 --> 00:29:40,440
everything and just kind of give everything I had, you know, yeah,

525
00:29:40,519 --> 00:29:43,000
because yeah, this is what I want to do for

526
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,039
the rest of my life. Yeah, and I'm planning on

527
00:29:45,079 --> 00:29:47,839
it so good through a set of experiences that I

528
00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:50,279
don't have to go into, you know, that song came

529
00:29:50,319 --> 00:29:53,359
out of and the dedication and so yeah, I've I've

530
00:29:53,359 --> 00:29:54,759
been playing pretty much every weekend.

531
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,279
Speaker 1: We've had a couple of really cool shows. Recently.

532
00:29:57,359 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 12: We had a singer songwriter competition up there in Guilford

533
00:30:01,559 --> 00:30:05,759
and then John put together John MacArthur put together a

534
00:30:05,839 --> 00:30:07,839
show at the BNH Stage and Conquered where all the

535
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,880
finalists from that competition came and played and played with them.

536
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,720
We did a couple numbers together and it was really fun.

537
00:30:13,759 --> 00:30:15,920
I mean, just what a group of talented people.

538
00:30:16,079 --> 00:30:20,559
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, excellent do you always play? Is it always

539
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,359
just you or does anyone ever join you?

540
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,559
Speaker 12: Yeah, I've got a couple of different settings. I mean,

541
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,680
most of the stuff I book is solo. But there's

542
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,279
a shop in Laconia called NH Vintage Vinyl. This guy,

543
00:30:31,359 --> 00:30:33,880
Dan McLaughlin owns it, Dan Mack He's a friend of mine.

544
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,440
He plays bass, so he comes out. We do a

545
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,720
really cool duo. We do like a bunch of grunge

546
00:30:38,319 --> 00:30:41,039
oh stuff, so to have like you know, it's still

547
00:30:41,079 --> 00:30:44,000
kind of acoustic. But then there's a couple of different

548
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,279
groups I've played with in more of a band setting,

549
00:30:46,279 --> 00:30:50,599
but nothing, nothing super firm. I'm definitely looking to collaborate

550
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,880
more with other people and you know, getting into more

551
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,000
of a production role and self producing a lot of

552
00:30:55,039 --> 00:30:57,640
stuff just for you know, demos and yeah, and not

553
00:30:57,759 --> 00:30:59,839
in preparation of going into the studio. And that's all

554
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:02,920
always been a h A fun thing for me. Is

555
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,319
you know, I took a few recording engineering courses in

556
00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:08,880
community college before I kind of went went to school,

557
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,000
and and so knowing how to use pro tools what

558
00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:14,839
I interface does, and you know, spend a little money

559
00:31:14,839 --> 00:31:17,440
on plugins, so I do a little bit of that,

560
00:31:17,519 --> 00:31:19,000
and I'm looking at you because I just playing with

561
00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:21,279
other people is is magical. Yeah, you know, I think

562
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:23,119
that's one thing that's a little bit I don't want

563
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,680
to say it's lost, but you know, not as common

564
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,680
these days. You know, fifty years ago, you didn't have

565
00:31:27,759 --> 00:31:29,519
any any choice. If you wanted to play with somebody else,

566
00:31:29,559 --> 00:31:31,440
you had to go in and link up with them

567
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,119
and say, hey, let's sit down and play some music.

568
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,279
And now there's everything's in the internet, and it's obviously

569
00:31:36,359 --> 00:31:39,920
it's you know, there's so many bonuses from that. But yeah,

570
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,960
it's been it's been kind of tough, honestly to get

571
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,000
people to, uh, to want to collaborate. I mean, I

572
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,799
don't know if it's a function of just the location

573
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,279
I'm in or my you know, lack of outreach, I

574
00:31:49,319 --> 00:31:52,559
don't know, but but it's something I'm craving. Yeah, if

575
00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:54,000
you're listening to this and you want to collaborate, you

576
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,160
want to play some music up.

577
00:31:55,759 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 11: Have you ever played in a full band?

578
00:31:57,799 --> 00:31:59,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah.

579
00:31:59,359 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 12: We had with Dan Mack and then we had another

580
00:32:02,279 --> 00:32:04,440
drummer and his name was Dan Hewitt. We played a

581
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,319
couple of shows like My Buddy's birthday.

582
00:32:06,039 --> 00:32:08,079
Speaker 1: Party and stuff. But we put together like two hours

583
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:09,359
having a killer. Yeah.

584
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,079
Speaker 12: We did this cover of Comfortably Numb, and I don't know,

585
00:32:13,119 --> 00:32:14,559
I think we all shocked ourselves.

586
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,039
Speaker 1: I thought it sounded great. Yeah.

587
00:32:17,119 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 12: And then I have another friend, another friend, Dan Fallon.

588
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:20,880
I don't know if you've come across him.

589
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 11: Dan's been on the show.

590
00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: Yep.

591
00:32:22,359 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 12: Dan's another buddy, and I've played a little bit with them.

592
00:32:24,759 --> 00:32:28,400
We played the reck Yard up in uh up at

593
00:32:28,519 --> 00:32:29,920
you know, Tower Hill, Weir's Beach.

594
00:32:30,079 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple of times. It was fun. Did a

595
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,200
couple other things, but.

596
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,119
Speaker 12: Yeah, I haven't I haven't really been like a you know,

597
00:32:37,119 --> 00:32:40,319
a standard with with anybody, but you know, hoping to

598
00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:42,519
find people and collaborate. I'm I just kind of take

599
00:32:42,519 --> 00:32:44,480
it as it comes, you know what I mean, because

600
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,599
that's sometimes you can rush into situations and it's not

601
00:32:46,599 --> 00:32:49,480
where you want to be or you And conversely, you

602
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,200
could just sit in your apartment play guitar all day

603
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:51,799
and never talk.

604
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,599
Speaker 1: Sometimes, I find my son, that's all the balance, right.

605
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,319
Speaker 11: Do you as far as shows and you got out

606
00:32:58,319 --> 00:33:00,119
of New England at all, have you done that yet

607
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:00,559
or not?

608
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: Really?

609
00:33:01,119 --> 00:33:01,319
Speaker 11: Yeah?

610
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:01,519
Speaker 14: No?

611
00:33:02,119 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's not.

612
00:33:03,039 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 11: It's not as though there aren't a million places to

613
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:06,319
play here, because there definitely are.

614
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:06,759
Speaker 1: True.

615
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, I haven't really. I spent the last four

616
00:33:10,279 --> 00:33:14,599
winters out in Park City, Utah. Really yeah, why working

617
00:33:14,599 --> 00:33:15,680
at a ski resort out there?

618
00:33:15,759 --> 00:33:16,079
Speaker 5: Okay.

619
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 12: Yeah, I've been a SnowCat operator for like twelve years,

620
00:33:19,039 --> 00:33:22,119
building train parks and grimming and stuff, so I it's

621
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,480
kind of the other side of my life.

622
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

623
00:33:24,319 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 12: So I've been out there and and did like one

624
00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:29,400
or two open mics and and kind of you know stuff,

625
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,000
but nothing significant outside of New England.

626
00:33:31,039 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: Now.

627
00:33:31,319 --> 00:33:34,319
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm getting ready though, you know, I'm geared enough

628
00:33:34,359 --> 00:33:36,240
for the big launch. But once I get some you know,

629
00:33:36,279 --> 00:33:38,400
once I get like a solid record out that I'm

630
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,559
happy with, you know, and then can release and like capitalize.

631
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,599
But I'm I'm yeah, I just I'm cool, kind of

632
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,200
cool with where I'm at now because I feel like

633
00:33:46,279 --> 00:33:48,680
I'm just racking up all these hours, right, all these

634
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,680
gigs and just like, yeah, I want to blow the

635
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,480
doors off when I go somewhere, you know what I mean.

636
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,519
Speaker 1: Right, Anyway, it's it's all, it's all just fun.

637
00:33:56,559 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 11: But yeah, but yeah, excellent excellent is so is the

638
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,319
goal to make an album, because you know, we live

639
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:04,559
in a time when you you know, people approach it

640
00:34:04,599 --> 00:34:06,519
all kinds of different ways. You can make an album.

641
00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:09,599
You could make an EP, you could make a series

642
00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:11,760
of singles that eventually becomes an album. You know is

643
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,280
but are you is that kind of your goal is

644
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,360
to make a full album creatively?

645
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,559
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think just the way that I've listened to

646
00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:21,000
music always and the way that I think about music,

647
00:34:21,039 --> 00:34:23,119
I think, like a song is too short for me

648
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:25,079
to convey what like a message, Yeah, you know what

649
00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:27,400
I mean, And I understand the way the industry is,

650
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,960
so I'd probably release some singles, yeah, you know, once

651
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,599
I can get things recorded properly and whatnot, which is

652
00:34:33,639 --> 00:34:39,400
mostly just you know, financial Oh but but yeah, I

653
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,000
think like my favorite albums are the ones who you

654
00:34:43,079 --> 00:34:45,119
just you know, front to back, right, you just put

655
00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:46,880
put the needle down and go through it, and it

656
00:34:47,079 --> 00:34:50,840
tells a story or it conveys a feeling, or even

657
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,559
if it's just totally your interpretation of it, it all fits together.

658
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:55,920
I think that's really beautiful. It's like a book, right yeah, yeah,

659
00:34:56,039 --> 00:34:57,400
people released the chapter of a book.

660
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:58,199
Speaker 1: I mean maybe, but.

661
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,079
Speaker 11: That's a perfect and now. Yeah, yeah, so.

662
00:35:02,639 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 12: But you know, I you know, there's obviously other real

663
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,519
world limitations like resources and time, yea, you know, and

664
00:35:08,559 --> 00:35:10,960
I understand, you know, singles are the big thing now.

665
00:35:11,639 --> 00:35:14,039
I think you really want to push singles and yeah,

666
00:35:14,119 --> 00:35:16,440
the way music is released and distributed, but I'm I'm

667
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,199
a long way away from that, you know what I mean.

668
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,960
I'm sure I'd love to be in a place one

669
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,440
day where that all that really, you know, matters, and

670
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,559
a lot of people are listening to the music. But man,

671
00:35:26,599 --> 00:35:29,239
I gave up on I'm fantasizing too much a long

672
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:29,960
time ago, you know.

673
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 4: What I mean.

674
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 12: That's part of what I said earlier about being in

675
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,920
the position I'm in now. You know, I do just

676
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,920
for myself, and I realized that as some of those

677
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,920
first open mics. It's actually just a quick story that

678
00:35:39,199 --> 00:35:42,480
I won that songwriter competition three years ago and it

679
00:35:42,519 --> 00:35:45,000
took me. There's eight qualifying weeks and I played all

680
00:35:45,039 --> 00:35:47,000
of them and I didn't qualify until the very last

681
00:35:47,039 --> 00:35:49,119
week and went to the finals and then I was

682
00:35:49,199 --> 00:35:53,239
I won the competition, but the process it was all

683
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,719
new to me. I'd never performed like solo acoustic like that,

684
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,880
and I hadn't performed any type of music in twelve years,

685
00:35:59,000 --> 00:35:59,599
no kidding.

686
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know, I'm gonna come in

687
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,079
here and everybody's gonna love me songs and I'm gonna

688
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:07,079
be great. I'm gonna be famous in two weeks, right,

689
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,039
you know jokingly of course. Yeah, But that taught me.

690
00:36:12,199 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 12: You know, I've realized through those eight weeks, I was like, man,

691
00:36:16,119 --> 00:36:17,519
you know, because it was all about the competition.

692
00:36:17,559 --> 00:36:19,199
Speaker 1: It was new, it was fresh. This was like everything

693
00:36:19,199 --> 00:36:19,440
to me.

694
00:36:19,599 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, and I just realized that if they weren't gonna

695
00:36:23,039 --> 00:36:25,000
let me through the finals, I didn't care because I

696
00:36:25,159 --> 00:36:26,920
just it was the only place I could go and

697
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,679
play music in front of people at that point in time.

698
00:36:29,199 --> 00:36:30,880
It was the only opportunity I had. And I just

699
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,519
kept signing up for slots because I was like, I

700
00:36:32,599 --> 00:36:34,639
just I love this feeling. I love being up here.

701
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:35,440
This is really cool.

702
00:36:35,519 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 11: Well it isn't that a relief too, to let go

703
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:38,880
of the caring about it part?

704
00:36:39,039 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: Massive?

705
00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 11: Yeah?

706
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, massive, weight off your shoulders, right, yeah, exactly, because

707
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,079
so much of it is based on luck and connections

708
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:47,480
and stuff like you can't you know. It was a

709
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,679
great Quincy Jones quote. God rest his soul that I

710
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,599
always think of. It's like when you start talking about money,

711
00:36:52,599 --> 00:36:53,519
God walks out of the room.

712
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 11: And I've never heard that, but that is a great quote.

713
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just it's so true.

714
00:36:58,559 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 12: Man, if you're here for all the those other things,

715
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,320
Like it's with anything in life, right, you know, do

716
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,559
what you love, work really hard at it, and all

717
00:37:05,559 --> 00:37:07,480
the things that you want, all the material things will

718
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,320
come usually in excess, if you know, if you're really

719
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,960
devoting yourself to something right, and and that just you know,

720
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,519
it has a whole set of problems with it. And

721
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,440
you know, listen, I live in the real world. I

722
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:18,679
got credit card dead right, I got.

723
00:37:19,159 --> 00:37:21,559
Speaker 1: Wet, I'll make money. But but man, I just do

724
00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:22,239
this because I love it.

725
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 12: I never get sick of picking up a guitar and

726
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,039
playing music or talking about music. Like being here with

727
00:37:27,079 --> 00:37:28,719
you right now is awesome just because we get to

728
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,079
spend time talking about music and thinking about it.

729
00:37:31,119 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: And yeah, so I'm.

730
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 12: Just grateful for where I'm at and I'm going off

731
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,039
on a tangent like I normally do.

732
00:37:36,119 --> 00:37:37,599
Speaker 1: But you know, but yeah, that's.

733
00:37:37,519 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 11: All right, it's kind of what we do here.

734
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,119
Speaker 1: Well, do you want to play another one.

735
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,559
Speaker 12: Sure, Yeah, I'll play a fun song that I wrote

736
00:37:45,559 --> 00:37:49,599
for that competition. Cool that my my friends and folk

737
00:37:49,639 --> 00:37:50,639
friends love this song.

738
00:37:51,159 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: Uh.

739
00:37:51,519 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 12: The song is called Misery and Tequila. Uh, and it

740
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,199
is in fact about a bottle of tequila.

741
00:37:56,239 --> 00:38:00,679
Speaker 11: Excellent, hope.

00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,559
Speaker 1: West Portland's a great guitarist too, man, he is.

822
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, in general, yeah, underrated, I think because you know,

823
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,639
he gets overlooked because of the band that he plays in, right,

824
00:43:00,039 --> 00:43:03,320
but yeah, no, I agree, I agree. Yeah, that's They've

825
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,440
been a topic on the show recently because of that

826
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:10,239
big two hundred million dollar lawsuit. UMG, talking about sharks

827
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:11,320
in the industry.

828
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: No caring but crazy stuff man.

829
00:43:15,079 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 11: Yeah, but yeah, a lot of those a lot of

830
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,800
those bands, Yeah, like like Creed and who else? Do

831
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,920
you so you play a lot of that stuff right

832
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,639
live in your son.

833
00:43:23,679 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah I do.

834
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 12: I mean I don't play a ton of like, you know,

835
00:43:26,599 --> 00:43:28,599
Unknown Creed. I guess you would say, I know some

836
00:43:28,639 --> 00:43:31,199
of the bangers yeah, but I play a lot of

837
00:43:31,199 --> 00:43:34,639
like Alison Chain's Stone Temple pilots like that's always been

838
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,280
a very I've always been super fond of that. Yeah,

839
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,679
you know, kind of era in music. To be honest,

840
00:43:40,679 --> 00:43:43,360
it was never like a huge Nirvana fan. Yeah, which

841
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,320
might seem weird, but I'm a huge Alison Chains fan.

842
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,519
Like Lane Staley, I think was it was one of

843
00:43:49,519 --> 00:43:52,199
my favorite vocalists. That actually kind of goes back to

844
00:43:52,199 --> 00:43:56,320
that earlier question. I try to sound like him, but yeah, unsuccessfully. Yeah,

845
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,760
but I when the screen because he's like he was

846
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,800
a bit of a screamer, but not a high register

847
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,480
like I can never sing like Chester Bennington or anybody

848
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,599
from you know, more metal league groups. I just I

849
00:44:07,639 --> 00:44:10,000
don't have that in my range. But like guys like Lane,

850
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,360
you know, we're we're kind of in that lower register

851
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,400
but still managed to get that like rock high like

852
00:44:17,639 --> 00:44:21,239
screaming sound, which I really love, you know. And then

853
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,400
of course I'm big fan of like Audio Slave and

854
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,239
Chris Cornell, Yeah, Sound Garden and yeah, you know and that,

855
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,760
and but Chris Cornell was way up there too, but

856
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,880
he was one of my favorite rock writers. I would

857
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,800
I would say, yeah, what a legend.

858
00:44:34,119 --> 00:44:38,119
Speaker 11: I know, I know, absolutely absolutely. You know, it's funny

859
00:44:38,119 --> 00:44:40,400
when you mentioned Lane Staley, I had to stop myself

860
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,159
because I started to have this thought. You ever started

861
00:44:43,159 --> 00:44:44,639
to have a thought and then you're about to say it,

862
00:44:44,639 --> 00:44:48,159
and then you realize it's stupid, like all the time,

863
00:44:48,639 --> 00:44:51,159
all the time, because I found myself thinking and I

864
00:44:51,159 --> 00:44:54,800
almost said, you know, Lane Staley such a unique voice,

865
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,760
as nobody who sounds like him? And then of course

866
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,199
I remember, no, they found a new singer who sounds

867
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,880
exactly like him. But other than other than that guy.

868
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, other than that guy.

869
00:45:04,199 --> 00:45:06,079
Speaker 11: It is really he he was he did have an

870
00:45:06,159 --> 00:45:07,360
unusual voice.

871
00:45:07,199 --> 00:45:10,559
Speaker 12: Yeah yeah, and very like dark in drab. But then

872
00:45:10,599 --> 00:45:12,840
you'd hear it like you'd be listening to jar of

873
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,880
Flies and it's like, you know, just do me almost

874
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,480
and then there's like this whole major, like beautiful acoustic song.

875
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:21,840
I'm trying to remember the name of the title of

876
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,440
the track, but it's like later on in that jar

877
00:45:23,559 --> 00:45:25,920
Flies album, Oh just like super pleasant, you know what

878
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,920
I mean, Like very major and beautiful, so like the

879
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,599
complexity is what really hooks me.

880
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,039
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, those guys, you know.

881
00:45:33,079 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, no doubt, we have time you want to play

882
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,119
one more. Sure, I'd love to hear one more if

883
00:45:38,119 --> 00:45:39,920
you're just joining us. Will he chases here with us

884
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,159
live in studio and uh that back up there?

885
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, so this last track, well, making sure my guitar

886
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:48,960
is in two and I'll tell you a little bit

887
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,639
about it, Okay, this I So I grew up down

888
00:45:52,679 --> 00:45:57,480
in Connecticut, which evokes many things. But my mother's family

889
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,280
has been there for a very long time. They were

890
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:04,119
dairy farmers for three hundred years, and.

891
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 1: I love it there.

892
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,639
Speaker 12: We have like a little bit of land left, and

893
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,440
I have a big family and I love everything about it.

894
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,480
But it's there's no farming left, you know, we don't

895
00:46:13,519 --> 00:46:15,599
farm anymore. And the last dairy farm in our town

896
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,480
just closed a few years ago. So this whole lifestyle

897
00:46:18,559 --> 00:46:21,599
of generations and generations my family the way that I mean,

898
00:46:21,599 --> 00:46:24,880
nobody left, like you know, it was just always there,

899
00:46:25,519 --> 00:46:28,239
and it's just not a place I ever felt home at,

900
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,920
you know, outside of our little bubble like Connecticut. Rather,

901
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,239
you know, it's just this what used to be really

902
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,320
a graririan kind of nice place is just surrounded by

903
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,599
all this other stuff that isn't really interesting to me.

904
00:46:38,679 --> 00:46:40,800
And I was drawn in the mountains and you know,

905
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,400
the North country and everything. So this song is kind

906
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,280
of about that feeling of this whole paradigm shift, and

907
00:46:47,639 --> 00:46:49,199
you know, like feeling like you know, I have three

908
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,239
hundred years of dairy farming in my blood, but it's

909
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,840
like just this weird anyway, I'll stop talking about it

910
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:55,840
and play all right.

911
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: This song is called Thicker than Water.

912
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,039
Speaker 4: There used to be a cornfield right here.

913
00:47:16,519 --> 00:47:20,159
Speaker 3: Green Backers cut it heavy in here, and now they're

914
00:47:20,159 --> 00:47:22,960
putting up the panels, and the picture on the mantel

915
00:47:23,039 --> 00:47:34,039
gets a little smaller every here. Wind house through in

916
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:38,880
old barn window. That's the empty stoves in old hay bells.

917
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:43,000
That's blowing off your old hay hang picking up a

918
00:47:43,159 --> 00:47:45,280
memory and flies into.

919
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,079
Speaker 5: The Mama, love is town.

920
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:04,519
Speaker 3: I got a lot of reasons left sticking around, And.

921
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:09,519
Speaker 17: That's blood run sticking in water. God Lord, that's making

922
00:48:09,559 --> 00:48:10,360
me drown.

923
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,760
Speaker 5: No, my root scar old me.

Speaker 16: Down On't me me tell me everything?

Speaker 5: How older and sure of had no I carry it in.

926
00:48:39,199 --> 00:48:44,320
They're always with kicking my battles or keeping my cool.

927
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:52,760
I see the way the.

928
00:48:52,639 --> 00:48:57,039
Speaker 3: World is going, but I can't take it anymore.

929
00:48:57,679 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 5: But my family. You keep me around it.

930
00:49:01,199 --> 00:49:02,639
Speaker 4: That's the only thing I know.

931
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 14: For sure, Mama, I love this town.

932
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 3: I ain't got a lot of reasons left sticky around.

933
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 5: Because there's blood run sticky and water of my Lord

934
00:49:27,199 --> 00:49:31,960
that's making me drown. No, my roots came and all
