Speaker 1: But joining us right now, we have in studio with us.
Rachel Molina is here and let me make sure to
make sure we can hear you. Hello, Rachel, Hello, welcome
to the program.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Uh so you're gonna play.
Speaker 1: You've got your guitar and again if you are watching
the video feed, you can see but she's got her
guitar out and looking forward to hearing you play live. Now,
you don't, just so people know, So you don't. You
don't have any studio tracks yet, but I assume you're
gonna be going into the studio at some point soon
because you've got some You've got some original music as
well as covers.
Speaker 4: Correct, correct, and do a lot of covers. I'm starting
to write music. I think have finished one and have
almost finished for the second one.
Speaker 3: Oh no kidding, Oh very cool.
Speaker 4: I read a lot of lyrics. I just have to
put music to them.
Speaker 1: Oh that has that always been the case with you?
I have you always? I mean, did you start out writing?
Some people some singer songwriters will start out kind of
writing poetry and then they'll say, you know, these would
make good songs, Maybe I should put music to these.
I mean, is that because cause you mentioned you have
a lot of lyrics.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they kind of come as journal entries, but they
come out out his songs, and I always thought, somebody
I'll put this to music. Yeah, so I've got like
a backup.
Speaker 1: Now why now, Because you said so recently you started
writing music, but I assume you've been performing covers and
such for a long time.
Speaker 3: Correct.
Speaker 4: So I've been playing guitar a long time. But two
and a half years ago I started doing open mics
nights with Andrew North and the Rangers.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were talking off air about them, and that's
kind of how you got started doing the open mics.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 4: I've always wanted to do music, but recently finally just
I guess it's giving yourself permission to go for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So what.
Speaker 1: Was holding you back? Is it something you can identify
or was it just Yeah.
Speaker 4: I struggled a long time with kind of the societal
pressure to get a career, get the right job, you know,
figure your life out. And I just turned forty.
Speaker 3: Last weekend, happy birthday.
Speaker 4: And I told myself I wanted to have my dream
job by the time I'm forty. Yeah, I've had so far.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well it's a start.
Speaker 1: It's a start, and and you're you're so you're a
professional musician now, because the way I've always looked at it,
you know, sometimes people will kind of agonize over, well,
when can I call myself a professional? Yeah, you know,
if it's if it's something that's not their full time job,
you know, when can I call myself a professional?
Speaker 3: And the way I've always looked at it is no.
Speaker 1: And this applies to music or anything anything that you
do in life that you're passionate about. Once you've been
paid for something, that's it.
Speaker 3: You're a pro. You can call yourself. So you can
call yourself a professional musician.
Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, even if you've only had
one paid gig, and you know there will be more,
right I mean, because once that starts, you know, as
long as you keep at it, you know that's going
to grow and grow. And so that's awesome. Good for you,
Good for you? Is that what so turning forty? Is
that what made you say I got to do this
now or never?
Speaker 4: Or actually is when I got an office job a
couple of years ago?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Is that when you started started thinking, I don't know,
I was.
Speaker 4: The most I it was it was hard. I got
an office job person and I got really depressed and
I was like, what am I doing with life?
Speaker 2: This isn't me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And then actually actually listened to a book by
Dave Stewart of Your Rhythmics, his audio book about how
the band started, and it was it was like really inspirational.
Between that and listen, like I went to one show
every month last year musicians and just like seeing people
do it, Yeah, like it can happen, It's possible. Yeah, yeah,
it's a world changer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good for you, Good for you. Well, I'm dying
to hear you play. I've not heard you play at
all yet, so now I but but I don't From

being the picture that I used to promote today's show
of you on Facebook, and you wrote so this is

at a New England Mountain Bike Association has a meet
up and they asked me to play a couple of
years in a row. Oh cool, that's probably that's how
I started performing performing and okay, this was one of
the songs the friend got me to do.

Speaker 1: If you're just joining us, Rachel Moline is here with us,
alive in studio sounding amazing.
Speaker 3: That was wonderful. That was wonderful. Tell me about Are
they a big influence on you?
Speaker 4: No? Actually, it just happened to be a song that
my buddy was playing with picked he he was like,
I love this song. I had not really listened to
them much. Yeah, played it turned out I loved it.
I don't know. I just kind of pick up music
that clicks.
Speaker 1: With me and yeah, yeah, yeah, do you have are
there specific influences that have really kind of shaped your
you know, your approach to uh to how you play.
And I'm especially curious too about about your singing, because
you know, you've you've got a great voice, and I'm
curious like how you learn to sing and who who
you listened to or maybe maybe you even took lessons.
Speaker 4: I don't know, I it's it's been a mix. But
I grew up in choir, Okay, a church choir when
I was a teenager, was the choir for about six years.
That's where I got my musical I guess training you
just the more you do it, the more.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I never learned how to read music or anything. I
just like sang. I loved singing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I listened to a lot of like punk and rock
growing up, and I don't know if that had any influence,
but just definitely energetic and loud and yeah, and I
just kept singing. Yeah, took lessons once.
Speaker 1: Did you, Yeah, like like literally one lesson or for
just for like six months. Oh okay, do you think
it helped you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's yeah, there's definitely things that have stuck from it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think I absorb a lot by listening to other people.
YouTube does a lot.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, well that's the thing. Yeah, YouTube you
can learn. You can learn so much from YouTube. It's
probably put a lot of music instructors out of business, actually,
now that I'm thinking about it, YouTube, because you know,
if you think about it, that never really occurred to
me until just now. But yeah, it's probably you know,
like I remember, you know, buying DVDs about how to
sing and how to play, and you know that's of
course you don't need to do that anymore.
Speaker 4: I've seen instructors go online.
Speaker 3: Though, oh yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I don't know. Maybe it's, yeah, the.
Speaker 1: Ones who are comfortable with it. But sure I took
I took voice lessons and I from a variety of
different instructors over the years, and I doubt any of
them or even still in business. But they didn't help
me much. I'm not a bad harmony singer. I can
kind of find the octave and lock in. But on
my own, I get lost.
Speaker 4: Everything's easier when you do with people.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, no, but just starting to inquire, starting
singing and inquire. I mean, I think that's a great
way to start. I always I've always heard Daryl Hall
say that, like he learned to sing because when he
was a kid, his mom took him to church. Yeah,
and that's, you know, growing up in Philadelphia, that's you know,
that was a great way to start, you know.
Speaker 3: And his mother also is a I.
Speaker 1: Say it is because I think she's still alive, but
she's also a vocal teacher herself, and she taught him
how to breathe and everything and took him to church
and said, here, sing with these people, and.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now what about guitar? How did you learn to play guitar?
Speaker 4: I got my first guitar when I was seventeen from
like a summer crush. He played me, like, I mean,
he taught me how to play GCD.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then.
Speaker 4: Over the years it's just been slowly picking up some songs.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 4: The first song I ever learned was Boston by Augustana
And oh, so I guess we're talking about musicians and bands.
They were augustana Is. They're not super popular, but they
were like so influential to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Probably when I started writing songs, I it was it
was a lot of like a lot of like kind
of dark, sad sounding music. You know, a lot of
my lyrics would come out as like these sad stories
and yeah, I like I like heartfelt things like emotion. Sure, sure,
but anyway, okay, Yeah. And then it was two and
a half years ago, I again doing open mic nights.
I was like, well, I don't pick it up again.
So I picked up my my old guitar that I'd
got in San Francisco years ago on a whim.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you go a really long time without playing
at all? Or did you kind of probably.
Speaker 4: Went stretches a couple of years stretches and then I'd
pick up guitar and like fiddle with it. Yeah, yeah,
I might have gone five or six years without really playing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I started dabbling in the keyboard too, and that it
was fun. Yeah, guitar is always way more intimidating.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So then, so when did you so?
Speaker 1: But it was a couple of years ago that you
picked it back up and really started to focus on
it or yeah, and I just.
Speaker 4: Had to, like again, it was giving myself permission. Just
I don't really still sometimes feel like I don't know
what I'm doing, but I I just I learn songs.
I find songs that I love, and I'm like, I
better if I can learn that, Yeah it's too complicated,
I let it go. Yeah, and then to find ones
that are easy.
Speaker 3: So that makes me curious, like what have you?
Speaker 1: Is there anything you can think of specifically that you
tried to learn that you you've felt was too complicated
that maybe you'll you'll put aside and come back later.
Speaker 3: Well, it's curious about this kind of thing. Is there?
Is there anything?
Speaker 4: I think there was a Beatles song, Yeah, I can't
remember what was called. Yeah, I get remember which one,
but they use a lot of when I say complimented
complicated chords, it's like there you have to stretch your
fingers around or there's a chord change every you know,
every beat home. Yeah, it feels like yeah, and sometimes
I've learned too to allow myself to just instead of
changing chords, you might find one that sounds similar, so
just stay on.
Speaker 1: It right right, Yes, yes, absolutely, When I when I
was a teenager, so I took guitar lessons, and but
I was I was kind of a lazy kid.
Speaker 3: If I wasn't good at something quickly enough, I would
tend to give up on it.
Speaker 1: And that's how I ended up. And bass players hate
when I say this. I know that, but I'm a
bass player, so I can say it. That's how I
ended up playing bass because I got frustrated with the
guitar and and then I picked up a bass. I
was with some friends, some musicians, and I picked up
a bass and I seem to have a feel for
it really quickly, and I was kind of like, oh,
two less strings and I don't have to know any chords.
I think I found my instrument. And it turned out
I did find my instrument because I ended up playing
in a bunch of bands over the years. But then
I'm not a bad bass player. But and I can
still play a little bit of guitar. You know, I
can play. I can play in a punk band probably,
but but uh but yeah, it's uh, But I know
what you mean. And it's like you can you can
kind of cite yourself out by trying trying too hard
to emulate exactly what the original artist did. When you can,
you can change it, yeah, and make it sound the same.
You know, there's no there's no rules really, I mean,
music theory is music theory, but that doesn't mean you
have to do it exactly the way it was done
to make it sound good. And if along the way
you kind of make it your own, that's good too.
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, there's I think music has taught me
that I'm can be a perfectionist and it's a lot
of your heart on yourself, and it's like that has
to really be ingrained as it's okay to be flexible
with the songs, okay to put your own spin on it.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 4: And people want that probably, yeah, yeah, some people do.
Speaker 3: I mean some people. There's always some people who will
complain like, oh that you didn't play that right.
Speaker 1: But it's like, uh, you know, but to me, I
always like, you know, it's like if I see a
cover band, I don't necessarily want to hear everything exactly
the way it sounds, the way the original artists played it.
I kind of want to hear It's like, Okay, I
know how the original goes. I can I hear it
on the radio. I can pull it up online. I
want to hear your interpretation of it, you know what
I mean? That to me is more interesting. But there
are some people who are just like, oh, you didn't
You didn't play that the way I know it. It's like, well,
go listen to it the way you know it. The
way you know it is available to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4: That's true. It is about creativity.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, or it should be, at least it should be.
You want to play another one?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, if you're just joining us, Rachel Molein
is here with us live in studio, sounding great.
Speaker 4: I sorry, okay, I'll play I'll play an original.
Speaker 1: Okay, awesome. So this will be the first time this
has been played on the radio.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 3: So it was a world premiere, yes, yes, is this recorded?
Speaker 4: Well? Of course technically the first time it's every recorded
to this.
Speaker 3: Will be the first time. Wait, you know what, just
just for that, I should uh, I should do this,
uh do this for you. You are listening to wumin Ah.
Speaker 2: World premiere.
Speaker 1: Oh you probably couldn't hear that because you don't have
headphones on. I gave you the world premiere bumper. Yes,
you'll hear it later when you listen to it. All right,
what's this called?
Speaker 4: It's called this song is called the Moment. It's very short.
It's it's about living in the moment, really because a
lot of times they escape us, yes, before we've had
a chance to do something about it.
Speaker 3: And let's bring that back, all right, Rachel Mouley.
Speaker 6: Stand to stay moment.
Speaker 5: For the moment.
Speaker 9: Nos, it passes bar.
Speaker 2: And see hard on Wonday.
Speaker 10: It leaves no chase, it flies with Breathe the moment
back now.
Speaker 2: Because I know.
Speaker 6: I would say, find yourself a moment, so it does.
Speaker 2: Saying it's too.
Speaker 9: God hand sip beside me.
Speaker 2: We'll fly away, We'll fly.
Speaker 3: Beautiful, beautiful, Thank you.
Speaker 1: Rachel Moleen is here with us, live in studio, and
that's called the Moment.
Speaker 4: The scariest thing I've ever done, really, maybe so far.
Speaker 1: I mean as you, as you advance into your career,
I'm sure it'll get scarier. This is nothing, This is
nothing if you are just joining us. Rachel Moleen is
here with us, live in studio, and so.
Speaker 3: What kind of what kind of shows have you you
been doing?
Speaker 1: You mentioned the open mics, and then have you been
but you know you've been doing more than just that obviously.
Speaker 4: So yeah, volunteered for a couple of things. It played
at a school last weekend, like a parent teacher fundraiser thing.
Oh cool, that was fun. There was three other artists there,
one that I knew. Playing in front a bunch of
kids is really fun there. They give a lot of
feedback right away, dancing to your music, or or they
come up there and they just stare at you playing.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I played at Feathered Friends last week in open for
Lee and Doctor g Okay, he is a local man.
Speaker 3: Now where is that feather trends?
Speaker 4: Feathered Friends feather trends?
Speaker 1: I don't know why though, sometimes I don't hear things
correctly feathered trends, like like, what would that be like
a store that sells jackets made of feather?
Speaker 4: I think I should.
Speaker 1: Should open that feathered trends. So Feathered Friends, okay, okay,
So what is that?
Speaker 4: It's a brewery.
Speaker 3: It's a brewery. Okay.
Speaker 4: They have a cool stage in the back. Then I
played last December. I played up at a place in Bethlehem,
Okay called Flamingo.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: A buddy of mine, Jim Terrell, is also a New Hampshire.
Speaker 3: Oh I know Jim ye yep.
Speaker 1: I've interviewed him actually, jeez, I don't know how many
times over the years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, oh absolutely, Jim's great.
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 4: I went up to see him play because he plays
there every Wednesday.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: He had me sing a couple of songs and the
owner was like, Jim can't be here next week, do
you want to fill in?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Nice, it's a three hour set and I was.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, okay, yeah, yeah, let's do Yeah.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 4: It was a really good experience. It was a challenge
because I didn't have three hours of material, but well.
Speaker 3: The thing is, though, with a situation like that, too,
you can repeat some stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not you know, you're not playing to
the same crowd in the first hour that you you know,
in the third hour, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Right, So yeah, you're right. I mean, is that what
you ended up doing?
Speaker 4: You just yeah, yeah, did about had about an hour
and twenty minutes or so.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she just played this stuff. Just play the
set twice, right, Yeah, no big deal. Yeah no, that's cool.
Speaker 3: So I went, well it did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was not as prepared as I could have been.
I think I say that every time.
Speaker 1: Sure, well, you know, like we talked about earlier, you know,
I'm creative. People are most hard on themselves, you know,
the most self critical. So but it comes from a
good place because you want to be good at what
you're doing and you you know, you want people to
be impressed and whatnot.
Speaker 3: So right, So are you?
Speaker 1: Is that kind of is your all to to continue
to do shows like that? More and more shows like that?
Speaker 5: Is that?
Speaker 3: Like you want to be playing out all the time?
I assume I would like to.
Speaker 4: Uh, it's really good. I've found that. It it's a
lot of pressure. I mean, I put pressure on myself. Yeah,
but it's really good to develop my set list and
it it's I'm learning so much as I'm learning songs.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 4: I'd like to be able to like to be able
to support myself with music.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I do want to keep writing and start recording, and
I'd love to eventually start a band. Can I say
I'm looking for a fiddle player? Know that there's fiddle
players like all over, but yeah, I would love to
collaborate with someone.
Speaker 3: Now, why a fiddle player specifically?
Speaker 4: It okay, it's probably some band influences like Airborne Toxic
Event is a rock band and they have a fiddle
late fiddle was one of his first band members. Oh, violin. Same,
But yeah, it just sounds so cool, I think in
any style of music. Yeah, adds something that you don't
get to see or hear a lot.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Does Andrew North and the Rangers have a fiddle player?
Speaker 2: Don't they know they have?
Speaker 3: Don't they have a Who am I thinking of? No,
I'm thinking I don't know who I'm thinking of.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it's not like, uh yeah, fiddle
players though. Yeah, it's not like you know, guitar players
are everywhere, but fiddle players.
Speaker 3: Yeah. How do you find a fiddle player?
Speaker 4: I've been asked. I've been I just asked people some
I'll come up with one.
Speaker 1: And when you find one, they're probably already in a
bunch of bands because it's not many fiddle players around.
Speaker 3: Probably.
Speaker 1: No, I'm sure you'll find somebody. No, that's cool though, Yeah,
that's cool. So you obviously, so you want to do
something that doesn't sound like everything else, You want to
do something something different. No, I think that's awesome. Yeah, yeah,
fiddle players.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of who.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I was thinking of Andrew North,
maybe just because we were talking about earlier. But yeah, no,
that's that's cool. Now if you so, if you act
started looking for band members or are you just kind
of starting to.
Speaker 4: Look, I'm starting to look. I've been meeting people at
the open mic night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a that's a great Oh.
Speaker 1: Over the years of interviewing people, so many bands have
started out of open mic nights, just people meeting there.
Speaker 3: It's it's such a great place in network.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I have faith in that.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, so that's that's that's one of the
long term goals. Get a band going.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what kind of band yet.
I know I want a fiddle player.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: There's this band called the East Pointers. They're from Prince
Edward Island. Okay, oh recently. I went to see them
last year and that was a moment. It was one
moment where I was.
Speaker 2: Like, I can do this.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: They're a guitar player and a fiddle player and one
of them they switched to keyboard. Oh, but they also
do you know, they do beats and stuff. Their music
is like not really traditional fiddle player. It's not Irish
per se.
Speaker 3: Interesting.
Speaker 4: It's a lot of really cool different sounds and high energy.
Speaker 3: I'm super curious.
Speaker 4: What are they called together, The East Pointers?
Speaker 3: The East Pointers. I gotta look them up.
Speaker 4: They're really good. They've got a good, good presence on Instagram.
They they just put out some really fun stuff, definitely fun.
Speaker 3: Dire from Providence or you saw or you saw them in.
Speaker 4: Probably from Prince Edward Island.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okayland in Portland, Oh, in Portland, Okay, Okay,
I gotta look them up. Yeah, oh that's really interesting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they just you watch them up there, and then
you know the one guy in the fiddles, just like
the other guys. They just look fun and they have
fun and their music's good.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh that's really cool. That's really cool.
Speaker 1: If you're just joining us, Rachel Molina is here with us.
Speaker 3: You want to play another one? Dying to hear more?
Speaker 4: All right, do you think there'll be two more?

other stuff. I mean, how do you feel about it?
Speaker 4: I I want to do it all, to be honest,
I want to sing, like mostly I play guitar, because
it so I can play out unforcing like I'm forcing
myself sort of to.

a band and not have to worry about the guitar
eventually on vocals, Yeah.
Speaker 4: I would love to sing. I I played with saying
with a friend of mine. Their band is called J
Street Extension. They're up in the Northfield area and they
had asked me to sing with them a couple months
back and it was mind blowing.

know a lot of, like Bonnie Rate and oh okay
Little Tom Petty and I had so much fun though.

the guests that we've had on the show have recorded
with him, and he's fantastic. Yeah, and he's been on
the show too, and he fascinating to talk to. But
he's so talented. Yeah, so somebody might want to keep
in mind. But but yeah, but you've got a lot
of options, and you know, and we live in a
time too where like when I was growing up, I'm
old enough to remember when it was like, you know,
you you had to find a studio and pay somebody
incredible amounts of money to record in their million dollars
studio and and uh, if you didn't have the money
while you were sol you know, or maybe or maybe
you just record something on a little task him four track,
you know, a demo or something. But now it's like
you've got so many options, you know. It's it's a
