original time.

Speaker 2: But that's okay.

46
00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:26,680

or something.

52
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: To that effect.

53
00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:42,319
Speaker 1: Right, it was, it was before, it was right before,

54
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:43,080
it was right before.

55
00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, that that that makes sense as well, that I

56
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:48,800
was on your show and I I fully accept that

57
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,520
because I did a few different radio I did radio

58
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,039
I think in Texas, in a couple other states, Michigan

59
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,719
as well. Yeah, for stuff all around that time.

60
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: Yep, yep, Yeah, that day you were on with Brandon

61
00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:04,000
Finney and I think you guys were both state reps

62
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:04,800
at the time of front.

63
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:08,159
Speaker 6: Indeed, much like the honorable Jank Coffee, except we were

64
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:08,400
in the.

65
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,159
Speaker 2: Legislature right after you left.

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: Right, Yes, I left in twenty twelve.

67
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,319
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, so one separated by one term in between.

68
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,199
Speaker 1: The Yeah, yeah, yep, yep. And Brandon's been on the

69
00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:23,360
show with Vigil. Oh excellent, Yeah.

70
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, excellent.

71
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 6: I'm so glad all of that former state reps doing music.

72
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,400
So much more productive and beautiful, no kidding, much healthier

73
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,840
for the song indeed.

74
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: Yes, And I love Brandon's band. Vigil is absolutely amazing.

75
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,120
They are very good, absolutely bavy.

76
00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: But so Jesse. When you were on with us before

77
00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:43,360
I think.

78
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:45,639
Speaker 3: You you had released You had released a couple of

79
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,879
songs I think as singles or refreshed my memory.

80
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: So this, this entire project is being produced by myself

81
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,840
and Caleb, and I had released two singles basically to

82
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,280
just work out the kinks leading up to the EP

83
00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:05,560
because I didn't know what I was doing. Now I'm

84
00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:09,080
my own record producer in addition, in addition to being

85
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:14,319
the singers, songwriter, musician and all of it. So I

86
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,240
did work out all the kinks. We released Stay Anywhere

87
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,560
and Dear Baby Gene first, and those two songs are

88
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,399
on the EP, along with On Your Toes, Getting Nowhere

89
00:04:26,519 --> 00:04:28,319
and Lost in It All. Yeah.

90
00:04:28,319 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: I remember, yeah, you play it because the last time

91
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,879
you hear you played live, and I think you had

92
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:33,600
played Dear Baby Jeen live in studio.

93
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: You played the recording Dear Baby Gene I had played

94
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,519
On Your Toes and Superhero Toys. Oh okay, yeah.

95
00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: Right, okay, yeah, it becomes a blur, you know what.

96
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 3: Dear Baby Gen though, stands out in my mind because

97
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,800
I remember you talking about it saying, you know, someone

98
00:04:48,879 --> 00:04:49,519
was going to be mad.

99
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,519
Speaker 2: When they heard it. Yeah, very interesting.

100
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:53,199
Speaker 1: So I have to ask you a follow up question.

101
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:54,360
I am a journalist, after all.

102
00:04:57,079 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. We haven't talked about it. This person

103
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,560
is very close to me in a in a family

104
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:05,839
kind of way, and we get along just fine. Now

105
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,000
that's good. We get along just fine. But My art

106
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,079
is my art I released. I wrote the song two

107
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:16,120
years ago, we released it, and that you know, would

108
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,800
I do like instead of getting angry or sad and

109
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:23,360
I just put it all into my music. So you know,

110
00:05:23,439 --> 00:05:25,120
you ever want to know what I'm thinking, just listen

111
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,920
to my latest my latest releases.

112
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,439
Speaker 3: Well it's like we talk about this comes up all

113
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,319
the time on the show. How I mean, isn't that

114
00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:34,040
kind of the best way to work through things is

115
00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:35,000
through creativity?

116
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:35,319
Speaker 2: Oh?

117
00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean what better therapy is there

118
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:39,600
than that then than taking something, especially if it's something

119
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,199
really negative, something that maybe has caused trauma anything at all,

120
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:45,000
and creating something from it. I mean, that's what's better

121
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:45,279
than that.

122
00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:45,639
Speaker 1: You know.

123
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,519
Speaker 2: That's how this whole thing happened. Yeah, that's how this

124
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,519
whole thing happened. Last year, twenty twenty four. I had

125
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:55,040
a very turbulent twenty twenty four. I won't for you

126
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,160
with the details, but it was a very sad, sad

127
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,160
time in my life. And uh, I had stopped playing music,

128
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,480
and it was I was in I was in a

129
00:06:06,519 --> 00:06:13,199
bad place. And uh, around December January ish, this guy

130
00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:17,680
just said, enough, dude, enough, let's get back in the studio,

131
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,000
let's get these songs going, because we had we had

132
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,120
a bunch of material, uh from from before that we

133
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,800
were working on. And that's what I did and music

134
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,279
was my therapy. I'm, you know, doing a lot better now.

135
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,240
I'm on I'm on fire right now. Like I was

136
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,160
on the radio in Nashua the day after the release,

137
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:47,199
I was pumped and I'm just the music saved me.

138
00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:49,439
The music saved me because I was not not in

139
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,680
a good way. And Caleb, Caleb.

140
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 6: I've seen them before and after. I can attest.

141
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was tough love too. He wasn't nice about it. No, yeah,

142
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,199
he wasn't.

143
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 6: But I was like, you, you are too good of

144
00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:04,319
a songwriter to not be doing this and doing it

145
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,720
with you know, the full effort that it requires to

146
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:12,319
do it. You know, I've been basically since I stopped

147
00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:15,319
kind of doing all political things, I've been doing music

148
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,199
pretty much full time.

149
00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:18,399
Speaker 1: Comes up a lot on the show.

150
00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm I'm sure it does, Yea, I do get

151
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,279
around at this point, you know. I I've been been

152
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:28,399
doing it, and I've been trying to be kind of

153
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:31,839
a side man for not just Jesse, but as many

154
00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:34,120
people as I can to try to, you know, find

155
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,439
people who I think, man, they're doing something really nice

156
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:39,040
and let's let's take it. And that's actually the whole,

157
00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:41,920
the whole impetus for Hatchet, Acs and Saw, which is

158
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,720
kind of this is the first time we're kind of

159
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,639
publicizing this week, we've saw, we've softly launched it. Now

160
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,720
today is kind of the I guess the the world premiere.

161
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,480
But we're not trying to solicit a whole lot of

162
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,439
clients right now. We we kind of want to focus

163
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,920
on just people we know locally, who you know, are

164
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:05,240
producing really good original art. And and you know, the

165
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,639
impetus for that was these two songs, these the two

166
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,800
singles that that Jesse released, but specifically Dear Baby Gene.

167
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,079
For me at least, was listening to that, listening to

168
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,040
the quality of what we put out and and and

169
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,480
what that song was, and and it got me thinking,

170
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,920
I'm thinking, like, how can we take this what we're

171
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,879
doing right now, Jesse and I and turn this into

172
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,080
a business model and apply it to well beyond just

173
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:36,039
the two of us. And you know, I mean, I

174
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,919
obviously I have some selfish motivations. Eventually I would like

175
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,279
to record or re record some of my own tunes,

176
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,679
which are as of yet unreleased, but I I principally

177
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,600
do want to do this to get you know, other

178
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,879
very talented artists, like you know a band that I

179
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,320
currently play with, Crank and Wagon. You know, we're eventually

180
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,480
going to record some sort of of album I'm sure

181
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,759
in the next year, and you know, we we want

182
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:04,200
to get that out, but we also want to get

183
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,759
out like Cosmic Blossom.

184
00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: If you're not familiar with Nick Burns.

185
00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:12,639
Speaker 6: And in the the genius of of that that group

186
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,399
and the music that they put out, get familiar.

187
00:09:16,879 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: But it's the Cosmic Blossom absolutely.

188
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,159
Speaker 6: And and one of the playing is oh yeah, I

189
00:09:21,879 --> 00:09:24,200
I've talked with Nick. He's going to be doing the

190
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,320
artwork for Hatchet Acts and so cool, but we've both

191
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,120
discussed that with him, but also getting Cosmic Blossom in

192
00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:36,480
to do one of my tunes. So I've got a

193
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,399
very funky tune that I think that they would do.

194
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: Very well with.

195
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 6: And it's very tentative. I know Meg is you know

196
00:09:42,799 --> 00:09:44,840
Meg and Nick. Of course they're going to have their

197
00:09:44,879 --> 00:09:49,240
child very soon for uh early congratulations to them. I graduation.

198
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,480
I saw Meg yesterday at Troutstock. She was rocking out

199
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:55,399
with pit the young one in there, so that kid

200
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:56,519
is gonna come out rocking.

201
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,519
Speaker 2: So yeah, very cool. But anyhow, you know, it's actually

202
00:10:02,039 --> 00:10:05,720
really it's funny we're talking about cosmic because Nick is

203
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:09,879
actually on the song On Your Toes. He plays the

204
00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:15,120
lead guitar and he absolutely that he transformed that tune

205
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,600
and it was it was one of the It was

206
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:23,080
the first song that actually I was like, yep, I'm

207
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,480
not just releasing singles. This is gonna be an ep.

208
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:29,759
The song is about my daughter. It's a beautiful, beautiful

209
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,799
like ode to dancing. My daughter's a ballerina. She she

210
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,519
dances on point shoes and for those that don't know

211
00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:40,519
what that is, it's it's like their little pieces of

212
00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:43,200
wood that that's how the ballerinas spin the way they

213
00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:46,279
do that go in the bottom of their shoes. And

214
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,559
the song was about how nervous she was about getting

215
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,919
on that, you know, and and and learning it. And

216
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,600
then the first time that I actually saw her do it,

217
00:10:56,039 --> 00:10:59,960
and it was I mean, she's my daughter, so I'm biased,

218
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,000
but she's a magnificent person to begin with and a

219
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,039
wonderful dancer. And it was the first time that I

220
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,559
saw her dance on her toes, and this song started

221
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,840
off as just me an acoustic I remember, Jen, you

222
00:11:11,919 --> 00:11:13,799
said that was the one you liked the most when

223
00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:17,919
I was here last, and so I was like, all right,

224
00:11:19,759 --> 00:11:23,360
going along with the turbulence from twenty twenty four. There

225
00:11:23,399 --> 00:11:25,600
was a breakup involved, and there was a song that

226
00:11:25,639 --> 00:11:28,039
I wrote for the person that I'm no longer with,

227
00:11:28,799 --> 00:11:32,600
and I didn't want to play that song anymore. But

228
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,480
the drums Seth Cedars, huge shout out to Seth Cedars,

229
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,799
our drummer mad man, he's the best yes's in the business.

230
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,360
But the drum track was so good. I'm like, I

231
00:11:43,399 --> 00:11:45,639
can't get rid of these drums, right, What am I

232
00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:49,240
going to do? And it just so happens that the

233
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,639
chords to the prior song and my daughter's song are

234
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,279
the same chords. So I was like, all right, let

235
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,120
me see if I can work something out here. So

236
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,440
I literally went in, chopped his drums tracks up and

237
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,000
moved things around and it worked perfectly with the acoustic

238
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,879
guitar on the bass, and that's what I thought it

239
00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:10,679
was gonna be, just this acoustic tune. And then we

240
00:12:10,759 --> 00:12:13,759
had Peter Davis from No More Blue Tomorrows come in

241
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:16,559
and play lead guitar on Dear Baby Jeans. So I'm like,

242
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,039
all right, maybe I'm gonna ride this train a little bit,

243
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,240
which is exactly what I did. I have so many

244
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,679
wonderful musicians that were on these tracks, and so I

245
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,879
was like, you know, I was chatting with Peter and

246
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,559
Nick one day and I said to Nick, I was like,

247
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,080
I got a great song for your style. You want

248
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,159
to come down, And I mean, Nick, Nick Burns is

249
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,360
a beast. I'm kind of making this whole interview about Nick,

250
00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:42,159
but but we love you Nick, indeed, we love you.

251
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,080
But he came down, and I didn't know what he

252
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:52,399
was gonna do. Cosmic is a very freeformed band where

253
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,399
my stuff is like, it's not intricate, but there are parts,

254
00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:01,120
you know. So Nick came down, put down his pedal board,

255
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:04,879
turned the guitar on. He's like, you got an amp.

256
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,240
I'm like, oh, yeah, it was actually Chris Drew's amp.

257
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:14,799
Chris Drew and we plug Nick in and he he

258
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,120
just transformed the tune and when you play it, you'll

259
00:13:18,159 --> 00:13:20,799
be able to hear it. But he just transformed the

260
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,759
song into something that I never thought it would ever be.

261
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,480
So I was like, all right, well, I got this

262
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:31,000
great tune, but why stop there. Caleb's like, this needs keys, great,

263
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:33,120
put some keys on it. I'm like, all right, my

264
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,240
song's done. This is a beautiful, beautiful song. But then

265
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:40,960
I was talking to my buddy Patrick Matthews, who plays saxophone,

266
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,960
and I was like, you know what, maybe some saxophone

267
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,200
on this song. And then Patrick came down again, just

268
00:13:47,639 --> 00:13:51,399
like Nick, super pros. These guys, like everybody that's been

269
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,360
involved in this just really professional. And Patrick came down

270
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,399
and basically transformed the song again, and I was like.

271
00:13:59,399 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 6: Okay, bangs out in ninety minutes.

272
00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

273
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: I think Nick's session was was just around the same

274
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:07,200
amount of time.

275
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,919
Speaker 6: Just I mean in the actual taking, the tracking was

276
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,360
like very little of that it.

277
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: Was And I had never I don't think you have either.

278
00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:19,639
We had never really recorded saxophone before, so we didn't

279
00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:22,720
really know what we were doing in our in our area.

280
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,559
But and so finally song's done, that's it. But then

281
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:34,159
my niece, Josie Rutstein, Josie she's a she's a professional actress.

282
00:14:34,279 --> 00:14:37,200
She is sixteen years old, just getting leads and all

283
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,720
the plays around town. She's performed at the Palace Theater

284
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,639
right down the road. She played me something on her

285
00:14:44,679 --> 00:14:47,120
phone of her hitting these high notes because her voice

286
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,399
is like off the chart. So I'm like, all right, well,

287
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,039
I guess this song isn't done yet. And she came

288
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,360
down and recorded the track, and it is just the

289
00:14:56,399 --> 00:14:59,320
way the way it came out brings tears to my

290
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,200
eyes because, like I, I sent it off to master, to

291
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,919
my mastering engineer, Chris Cormier, and and he sent it

292
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,879
back to me and it was like hearing my song

293
00:15:08,919 --> 00:15:11,759
for the first time, and it was just it still

294
00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:15,159
brings tears to my eyes. I love that song, not

295
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,159
just because I wrote it, but because of what everybody

296
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:17,679
else did.

297
00:15:17,759 --> 00:15:21,559
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean the layering and the production of

298
00:15:21,559 --> 00:15:25,200
that tune. It did start very simple, as Jesse described,

299
00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:28,679
but it didn't. It was never at any point overproduced.

300
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,559
It was just kind of like it was a very

301
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:34,759
natural progression of him kind of hearing like, oh, that's

302
00:15:34,799 --> 00:15:37,879
a very nice addition and an element. What else? But

303
00:15:38,559 --> 00:15:40,759
is there more? Is there more?

304
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,159
Speaker 2: And will it? Will it not? Promise it's done? Promise

305
00:15:45,399 --> 00:15:46,679
will it not sound overdone?

306
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,039
Speaker 6: And it's not a tune that demands orchestral arrangements or

307
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,399
anything crazy like that.

308
00:15:51,559 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: But those auxiliary.

309
00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:57,159
Speaker 6: Elements, you know, the saxophone, the woodwinds and and the

310
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,039
guitar that was layered on it, just it really does

311
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,919
make that song. Yeah, yeah, and you know, I mean

312
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,720
I I don't want to toot his horn too much.

313
00:16:06,879 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: You know, he can my head. My head could not

314
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:10,279
possibly get bigger, right.

315
00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:16,039
Speaker 6: Jesse is an excellent songwriter. And when he is nudged to,

316
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,600
you know, to do things and and and consider additional elements,

317
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,480
he makes a lot of great choices.

318
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,639
Speaker 1: Well, very good, Well, I think we should play it.

319
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,559
Has this been on the radio yet? This has not

320
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,480
been on the radio yet. This is not well you

321
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,159
know what that means.

322
00:16:30,279 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: I know what that means.

323
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: All right, here it is.

324
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 3: This is the world radio premiere of On Your Toes

328
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,279
Speaker 4: Thesis.

329
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:04,839
Speaker 2: It can't be real.

330
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,279

358
00:20:41,559 --> 00:20:43,960

00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,000

00:20:45,079 --> 00:20:47,720

00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 2: Correct, anywhere you can stream. I didn't even know Pandora

368
00:21:09,519 --> 00:21:12,079
was still a thing until the other day. I was

369
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,279
talking to somebody who's like, no, I still do Pandora.

You can stream it anywhere Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, YouTube

373
00:21:24,759 --> 00:21:28,279
is where I'm doing the best right now. Yeah, Spotify.

374
00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:30,680
I don't know. I feel like an old man when

375
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,759
I opened Spotify. I'm not crazy about it. I just

376
00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:38,559
I didn't get it at first. But my daughter, who

377
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:40,920
that song was about, had to come out, like, because

378
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,319
social media is such a huge part of what I'm doing,

379
00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:47,880
but I didn't know anything about TikTok or Instagram. And yeah,

380
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,279
my daughter had to come over and she's she's credited

381
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,359
for marketing on the release. She is. Yeah, she came over.

382
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,680
She came over and she showed me how to how

383
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,599
to TikTok and how to Instagram and and uh, you know,

384
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,640
because I just scroll through Facebook, that was my extent

385
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,799
of social media. But it is such a big part

386
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,799
of this process, and I didn't realize that when I

387
00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:13,519
when I started this whole thing, but I'm getting I'm

388
00:22:13,559 --> 00:22:16,480
getting there. I went from having no TikTok at all

389
00:22:16,599 --> 00:22:19,599
to twenty six hundred followers, which I know isn't a

390
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,359
ton in the world of being an influencer, but it's

391
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,039
it's you know, I'm getting some some solid views off

392
00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:29,680
of that. People like the videos of my dog more

393
00:22:29,759 --> 00:22:31,359
than the videos of me singing. Oh really, so I

394
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,759
just start I just started making videos of me singing

395
00:22:33,799 --> 00:22:34,759
to my dog. Here you go.

396
00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: Smart, that's smart. Yeah.

397
00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

398
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: In a couple of minutes, we're going to play another track,

399
00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:40,960
Getting Nowhere.

400
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, getting Nowhere.

401
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: We should talk about that one. That's that's and that's

402
00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:46,839
that's a very different vibe.

403
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: Than oh, totally different, totally different. I Uh, this is

404
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,119
the one I'm the most nervous about. I'm nervous about

405
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,480
it because people could easily take take it the wrong way.

406
00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:01,160
It's it's yeah, so that the last song was very

407
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,279
you know, beautiful saxophone about your kid, Oh what a

408
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,240
nice guy. Getting Nowhere is quite the opposite. It's super gritty,

409
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,079
almost pop punk, heavily influenced by like the heavy Sublime

410
00:23:14,279 --> 00:23:23,559
style late nineties vibe, and it's about it's about politics.

411
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,920
So so I'm a middle of the road kind of guy.

412
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,160
I believe in a lot of things that the left

413
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,119
says and a lot of things that the right says.

414
00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:36,000
And I'm in the middle. So when I talk about politics,

415
00:23:36,079 --> 00:23:41,279
everybody hates me. Yeah, yeah, you know, I've seen some

416
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,559
of your posts, you know, and so so, But that's

417
00:23:43,599 --> 00:23:47,240
what the song's about. The song is about people going

418
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,720
back and forth on social media and and saying, like

419
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,359
writing off family members because of their political views. And

420
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,079
if you did this, then you're no longer my friend.

421
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,480
And if you did this, then you're you know, I

422
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,640
got an uncle who doesn't talk to me because I

423
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,279
don't agree with everything he says politically. Yeah, and I

424
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,079
love the guy, you know what I mean? And and

425
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,519
and and then when you run into these people that

426
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,720
you're like being a keyboard warrior with in real life

427
00:24:12,759 --> 00:24:15,599
and have a real conversation with them, you start to

428
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,839
get to get somewhere right, you know. But as long

429
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,759
as you're yelling at each other on your phone. Yeah,

430
00:24:22,039 --> 00:24:25,200
and and this media driven division, which I can't get

431
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,599
into without sharing my political views, which I don't want

432
00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:31,279
to do. But as long as we're going back and

433
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,039
forth with each other and you're stupid, no, you're stupid,

434
00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:37,559
then we're gonna get nowhere. And that's what the song's about, because,

435
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,599
like my my biggest issue with the political climate right

436
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,640
now is that people are divided for no reason. We're

437
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,720
divided based on on Facebook memes and half the people

438
00:24:50,759 --> 00:24:53,160
that are talking about these things don't even really look

439
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,079
into the issue. They just get their news from from memes.

440
00:24:57,319 --> 00:25:00,119
And and I'm not trying to insult anybody. It it's

441
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,960
more along the lines of if we keep arguing amongst

442
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,920
ourselves about nothing, we're going to get nowhere. Yeah, that's

443
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,119
what the song's about. And it's very gritty, it's not polished,

444
00:25:11,319 --> 00:25:15,640
which drove him nuts nuts. It didn't drive me nuts.

445
00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:19,279
Speaker 6: Well, I under I understand that, you know, there are

446
00:25:19,319 --> 00:25:23,759
different production styles, but it was it was at times

447
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,359
I was listening to it and I'm thinking, like, I

448
00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:28,920
understand the intent of this song is to get a

449
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,319
really punk vibe, But there were there were some things

450
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:38,480
like balancing right wise, the essentially the there were certain

451
00:25:38,519 --> 00:25:42,480
frequencies in the mid range where it's like conflictory right,

452
00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:46,119
It's like really really saturated and that is part of

453
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,200
the vibe, but also trying to get the separation of

454
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,319
the instruments so you hear everything, but you know, also

455
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,480
still have the vibe of everything being kind of like

456
00:25:55,599 --> 00:25:56,960
really loud and in the face.

457
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard to pull off. I think we I

458
00:25:59,799 --> 00:26:03,079
think we did all right. You know, I think I

459
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:03,920
think we did all right.

460
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 6: You know you of course we'll hear it in a

461
00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:09,400
couple of minutes, but you know, it is really loud

462
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,920
and it is really in your face.

463
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,559
Speaker 2: The idea that I was trying to get at with

464
00:26:14,759 --> 00:26:18,079
the whole vibe of because the music needs to go

465
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,400
along with the lyrics. It's not just it's not just

466
00:26:20,519 --> 00:26:23,920
the background so I can get my message out. I

467
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,279
wanted it to sound garage band ish. I wanted it

468
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,319
to sound like you're going to the bar and seeing

469
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,839
the band and the drums aren't miked so that the

470
00:26:35,039 --> 00:26:38,519
symbols are just like cutting through the whole mix, and

471
00:26:38,599 --> 00:26:40,720
it's like, you know, like when when your buddy who's

472
00:26:40,759 --> 00:26:43,000
in a band, it takes a video and says, hey,

473
00:26:43,079 --> 00:26:45,000
look at my band, how do we sound? And you're

474
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,880
all you hear is right.

475
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 6: It's as close to that as we could get while

476
00:26:49,759 --> 00:26:52,279
still being a professional release audio.

477
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, yeah that makes sense, you know, yeah, yeah,

478
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,519
I I I kind of took what what you were saying.

479
00:26:59,559 --> 00:27:01,480
That's what I from the lyrics when I listened to it.

480
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,359
You know, so I I understood and I and I

481
00:27:04,519 --> 00:27:07,119
understand too about you know, like uh, like I have

482
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,880
a family member who sends me a lot of angry

483
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,119
text messages.

484
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 2: And yeah, you know, it's so it's silly, it's so silly.

485
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: I've never seen it like this. Yeah, I don't even

486
00:27:17,079 --> 00:27:18,920
argue with about politics on social media.

487
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 2: I post in ghost Oh I did, I know you do,

488
00:27:21,799 --> 00:27:23,759
and I appreciate that you this this there's a couple

489
00:27:23,799 --> 00:27:27,640
of people that are always commenting and always disagreeing. But

490
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,960
so so a full disclosure. I was that guy. I was.

491
00:27:31,079 --> 00:27:35,000
I was like really upset during COVID. Uh not like

492
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,799
the first year we did we had to do to

493
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,599
be safe, but then you know, we I was. I

494
00:27:39,759 --> 00:27:42,680
was working in a bar and all the adults would

495
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,759
be out, huge crowds of people, no masks, but they

496
00:27:44,839 --> 00:27:47,240
made my kids still wear a masks mask for a year.

497
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,799
So I was. I wrote a mask, mask, mask, and

498
00:27:50,079 --> 00:27:52,839
and I realized what an idiot I looked like. I

499
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,519
look like an idiot arguing with somebody about something that

500
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,119
that really didn't matter. And and I, you know, I

501
00:27:59,279 --> 00:28:01,599
I hope I didn't lose any friends, but there you know,

502
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,440
there are people.

503
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: That you probably did though. I mean that's the thing

504
00:28:04,039 --> 00:28:04,480
that sucks.

505
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,319
Speaker 2: Well, and they weren't a friend to begin with. But

506
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,920
but you know what that if if I lost, I'm

507
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,119
losing people and we're getting nowhere, you know. So that's

508
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:12,960
what the songs about.

509
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: You know, well, I think we should give this a spend.

510
00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 2: I like it a lot awesome.

511
00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:19,039
Speaker 1: Now this is which one of one of the songs

512
00:28:19,079 --> 00:28:21,279
we're playing today has been played on uh in Nashua.

513
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:21,880
Is that this one?

514
00:28:22,319 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 2: No that's lost in it All?

515
00:28:23,599 --> 00:28:27,519
Speaker 1: Lost it All? Well, okay, so this one's another World

00:28:29,839 --> 00:28:31,359

Speaker 2: Oh? Whoops?

548
00:31:51,599 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 3: There we go, all right getting nowhere. Caleb died, I

549
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,279
mean not dire Jesse Rudsteen. But Caleb was talking a

550
00:31:58,319 --> 00:31:59,960
lot about the songs Wallow.

551
00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:03,279
Speaker 6: I mean he played he played guitar, played some guitar

552
00:32:03,319 --> 00:32:05,640
on it, yeah, which is unusual. I'm not really a

553
00:32:05,839 --> 00:32:06,480
guitar player.

554
00:32:06,599 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 2: Very much.

555
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 6: But really, yeah, I mean, you know, it's interesting on

556
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,799
a couple of these tunes on and even though the

557
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,680
one that was played before getting nowhere on your toes.

558
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,799
So the main guitar lick that's in that was actually

559
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,039
was a creation of mine, right, Oh.

560
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,519
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, Caleb brought the lick for the tune on

561
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,960
the versus and I not not nixt part like we

562
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,119
that we had Nick play that that part obviously with

563
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,200
with my track, but yeah, a lot of the collaboration

564
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,079
and production, like I couldn't have done it without Caleb Dyer,

565
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,079
Like I just I couldn't have done it without him,

566
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,240
like like even talking about opening up the space and

567
00:32:46,519 --> 00:32:49,519
the actual mixing. Because people hear a song and they're like, wow,

568
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,880
you play guitar. That's cool. They don't realize I did

569
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,599
that guitar track twenty seven times, and they don't realize

570
00:32:56,599 --> 00:33:00,079
that I spent hours just listening to one snow a

571
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,599
bit of vocal to just get the level right. And

572
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,079
I don't want them to care about that. I just

573
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,559
want them to hear the song. I talked to somebody

574
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,680
yesterday who was like, hey, I listen to your stuff.

575
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,079
I didn't really like sit down though, so I'm sorry.

576
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,279
She's like it was just on in the background, and

577
00:33:14,359 --> 00:33:16,680
I was like, no, that's great, that's great. That's what

578
00:33:16,839 --> 00:33:20,880
music is it. It can be super important to somebody

579
00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:23,680
like me, but it could just add a little joy

580
00:33:23,799 --> 00:33:26,559
to somebody's life that doesn't play you know what I mean, Like,

581
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,400
like it's it's the universal language.

582
00:33:28,519 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, No, that's great, that's great. In a

583
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,400
couple of minutes, we'll also play out Lost in It All,

584
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,640
the track that you did with Faith and and that's

585
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,119
such a great song too. I'm curious what what's the

586
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,000
live situation like for you these days? Are you playing

587
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,920
a lot of shows or have you been so more

588
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,599
on the EP or I am.

589
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,359
Speaker 2: I've been the laser focused on the studio work. It's

590
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,480
kind of funny we were joking around because I'm not

591
00:33:52,599 --> 00:33:55,319
playing live. I am playing tomorrow at Terminus in the

592
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,799
pop up event. Hopefully the weather holds up so we

593
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,799
can actually be out outside the way it was planned,

594
00:34:02,039 --> 00:34:05,799
but if not, we're going to be playing indoors. A

595
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,519
lot of great artists, a lot of great musicians, you know,

596
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,840
just Terminus doing what Terminus does, you know, I'll plug

597
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,119
them I'll talk about them as much as I'm talking

598
00:34:14,119 --> 00:34:14,960
about Nick Burns.

599
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 3: But that's where Jenny and I met you, by the way, Yes, yes,

600
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,079
the earlier this year at the open house.

601
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:27,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was with Quincy. Yes, yeah, Quincy.

602
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,199
Speaker 1: Raymond or quin Lord.

603
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

604
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:29,639
Speaker 1: I never know which to call him.

605
00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:35,559
Speaker 2: But so as far as the live situation, I am

606
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,360
booking for twenty twenty six. The full length is coming

607
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,599
out on December seventeenth. It's a song called Superhero Toys.

608
00:34:44,519 --> 00:34:48,039
All of the dates that I released stuff are strategically placed.

609
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:52,079
The song Superhero Toys is an ode to my son

610
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,599
and being the dad of a boy, which is, you know,

611
00:34:56,519 --> 00:34:58,480
very tough at times, like like, am I doing the

612
00:34:58,559 --> 00:35:01,280
right thing? Am I pointing him in the right Am

613
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,519
I giving him what he needs on my end to

614
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,440
be able to make his own decisions?

615
00:35:06,559 --> 00:35:09,159
Speaker 1: And you know that's a great song too. You play that? Yeah,

616
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:09,960
course last time.

617
00:35:10,039 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 2: He did just yes, yeah he did just you know,

618
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,360
he's in his first year of being a United States marine. Wow.

619
00:35:18,679 --> 00:35:22,000
So my contribution, I feel like I did all right,

620
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,840
you know, but but it's very scary.

621
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:24,519
Speaker 5: Yeah.

622
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 2: So December seventeenth is the release, and that is the

623
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,239
title track of the release, and it also happens to

624
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,519
be his birthday. Oh nice, So that's why it's And

625
00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:35,920
then in twenty twenty six is after I have the

626
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,360
full length release, after I've been on the radio, I'm

627
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,679
in people's ears. I got the social media going, there's

628
00:35:41,679 --> 00:35:44,320
going to be plenty of merchandise. That's when I'm gonna

629
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,039
get out and start gigging. So it's it's it's all

630
00:35:47,079 --> 00:35:51,599
a plan. And uh, the the EP's been out for

631
00:35:51,679 --> 00:35:55,400
a week and so far I'm gaining some serious momentum.

632
00:35:55,519 --> 00:36:00,400
So I am beyond pumped. I'm beyond thanks full to

633
00:36:00,519 --> 00:36:03,639
everybody who's taken the time to listen, everybody who's taken

634
00:36:03,679 --> 00:36:06,679
the time to be involved. Yeah, including yourself, you know,

635
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,519
like like hitting me up. And so yeah, that's that's

636
00:36:10,559 --> 00:36:13,599
that's the plan for the live stuff. Okay, okay, cool, cool,

637
00:36:13,679 --> 00:36:15,800
So twenty twenty six, watch out. You want to be

638
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:16,519
seeing my face.

639
00:36:16,639 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 6: It helps me out a lot too, because my twenty

640
00:36:18,559 --> 00:36:20,960
twenty five is kind of these books solid and he's

641
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,960
in my bad I'll not solidly hooked, but I do

642
00:36:23,119 --> 00:36:23,719
have a lot going on.

643
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no doubt.

644
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 3: And you've got the we should we talked about it

645
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:28,679
a little bit, but we should circle back to it

646
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,360
the label because you know, and a lot of people,

647
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,719
you know, a lot of people in the scene listen

648
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,880
to the show too, So we want to make sure

649
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,719
everybody knows, you know, if people want to get involved,

650
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,320
if they want to sell your music, if they want to.

651
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,199
Speaker 2: We don't have the only thing that I'm worried about

652
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,840
right now talk because I want to talk about it.

653
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,440
I want to get in people's ear. But we don't

654
00:36:44,519 --> 00:36:47,039
have a website or any social media going right now.

655
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's kind of that's almost deliberate in a way.

656
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,440
Well one Facebook kind of put me in nazi Nazi

657
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,800
mode for some time, so I can't can't create a

658
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,920
new page. But but setting that aside, it's kind of

659
00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:03,800
strategic because we kind of don't have the ability. It's

660
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,320
a partnership, so it's just Jesse and I. We don't

661
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,000
really have the ability to be taking on a lot

662
00:37:09,039 --> 00:37:11,679
of people, and we know that there's demand because of

663
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,719
course all of our friends are like, you know, like

664
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,760
when when can we when can we do this?

665
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 2: When done?

666
00:37:19,039 --> 00:37:20,679
Speaker 6: Because you know, there are a number of people who

667
00:37:20,679 --> 00:37:24,519
have heard the Jesse releases and you know, they're they're

668
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,360
they're very, very eager, you know, so we we kind

669
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,639
of want to be selective. We've got one young, lovely lady,

670
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,880
Sarah Bird, who's in the band Doggate Dog. Really she

671
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:42,039
hasn't yeah exactly, and she's an excellent musician. And I

672
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,519
saw her yesterday and she was rocking out with the

673
00:37:44,599 --> 00:37:48,039
Dogs out in Greenfield. I wish, I wish, yeah, I know,

674
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:49,599
it would have been great to have you out there.

675
00:37:49,639 --> 00:37:52,400
But but anyhow, we want to get Sarah Bird. And

676
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,440
she's got some excellent originals of hers that are kind

677
00:37:55,519 --> 00:37:58,679
of more on the light side. They're not so heavy

678
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,039
rock and roll like Doggate Dog as a band is,

679
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,320
and you know, we would love to get her in

680
00:38:04,599 --> 00:38:08,360
and get those tunes recorded, you know, in a format

681
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,679
that is more true to who Sarah is as a

682
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,519
kind of solo artist in her own right. And you know,

683
00:38:14,599 --> 00:38:17,039
we've we've spoken with her about that and and hopefully

684
00:38:17,119 --> 00:38:18,800
we can get her in as one of the first

685
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,559
few test cases. Of course, I'd like to get my

686
00:38:21,679 --> 00:38:23,599
own band, Crank and Wagon, which is kind of not

687
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,920
my band. I kind of just am the organist for

688
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,920
the bands. Yes, correct, Paul Fry is the true true

689
00:38:31,039 --> 00:38:34,079
leader and mastermind of that band. Indeed, Paul Fry very

690
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,880
very astute guitar player and and good good friend of mine.

691
00:38:39,679 --> 00:38:42,000
But so you know, we we have a bunch of

692
00:38:42,039 --> 00:38:43,920
these test cases that we'd like to kind of try

693
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,920
out because we've done it with Jesse, We've proven the concept,

694
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,880
and now we need to take this sell it hard,

695
00:38:51,159 --> 00:38:52,440
you know, through to the end of the year, through

696
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,880
the album release, which is I guess technically the first

697
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,559
official Hashtags and Saw release will be.

698
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,639
Speaker 2: That will be in the first Hatchet Acts and Saw release.

699
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 6: Yes, that will be, yeah, the first official one. And

700
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,880
in the meantime we'll have other things kind of cooking

701
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:08,719
to be released in the next year.

702
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,039
Speaker 1: So excellent. Oh did we talk about where that? I

703
00:39:11,119 --> 00:39:12,719
know we talked about it off air before the show.

704
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,559
Did we talk on air about where the name comes from?

705
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,039
Speaker 2: Oh? Oh yes we did. So this is a cool story.

706
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:24,920
Yeah I'm a musician. No, no, really, So I love Rush.

707
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,679
I love Rush if how could you not love Rush?

708
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 7: Is?

709
00:39:30,119 --> 00:39:32,599
Speaker 2: Is is the thought that I hear when people say,

710
00:39:32,639 --> 00:39:35,199
but but I do have a unique voice, and I

711
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,159
do enjoy groups like the Dave Matthews Band, and and

712
00:39:38,559 --> 00:39:40,920
and so some people will say I don't like Rush

713
00:39:41,079 --> 00:39:43,199
because I can't stand his voice, and I'm like, how

714
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,239
could you not stand his voice? He's perfect, you know.

715
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,719
But so I love Rush and Caleb loves Rush, and

716
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,719
coincidentally we didn't. So so the the one person we

717
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,280
forgot I have well not forgot I haven't mentioned yet

718
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,400
is Dave Patterson, our executive producer who runs Tree Streets, Inc.

719
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,360
Which is where facility that's that's the studio. So we're

720
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,159
on the Tree Streets recording and we just happened to

721
00:40:09,199 --> 00:40:15,239
be talking about the record label and Rush came up,

722
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,159
and coincidentally, our favorite Rush song is Trees, both of us,

723
00:40:20,119 --> 00:40:22,360
so I'm like, and then we were talking about naming

724
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,960
the record company, I'm like, Trees is really your favorite

725
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,119
because it's just the most beautif like getting Nowhere. It's

726
00:40:28,119 --> 00:40:35,760
a very political song people about about fighting over something

727
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,760
that you can't change, you know, and that's that's what

728
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,400
the whole song is about. And the last lyrics of

729
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,960
the tune are Hatchet Acts and saw and I'm like,

730
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,159
how about we just call it Hatchet Acts and Sauce.

731
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 6: Well, more importantly, the full lyric is the trees are

732
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,039
all kept equal by hand Hatchet acts and Saw yeah,

733
00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:55,559
And and now, one thing about the music business which

734
00:40:55,559 --> 00:40:57,559
I don't think a lot of people understand, is that

735
00:40:57,679 --> 00:41:00,960
there are sort of some gatekeeping going on by by

736
00:41:01,039 --> 00:41:04,840
some some shall we say oaks, which are you know,

737
00:41:05,039 --> 00:41:08,719
very large multimedia conglomerates. Sure, they kind of don't let

738
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:13,360
the Maples get sunlight. And whether or not it's by

739
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,519
the design of the system or you know, no fault

740
00:41:16,599 --> 00:41:18,679
of their own, which I don't think it is in

741
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,119
this particular case. I do think that they have deliberately

742
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,920
lobbied and created this sort of system that protects themselves. Sure,

743
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,519
but the local musicians are the Maples in that song,

744
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,239
and they're not getting enough sunlight. And you know, Hatchet

745
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,719
accent Saw maybe you know, we're not trying to make

746
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,559
everyone equal, but at the very least we'd like to

747
00:41:39,599 --> 00:41:40,760
get the Maples some sunlight.

748
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 2: We're trying to do the exact same thing that you

749
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,840
guys do here. Yeah, and you know you put us on,

750
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,199
you take the time and and and do your due

751
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,519
diligence and put the show together. And it's a great show.

752
00:41:53,639 --> 00:41:57,599
Like I watch you almost every Saturday. Thank you. Yeah, Yeah,

753
00:41:57,639 --> 00:42:00,280
it's great. I I forget what's the guy's name, Eli

754
00:42:00,599 --> 00:42:03,760
something he was on a few weeks ago.

755
00:42:05,119 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 3: It becomes such a blur he tour, He's a oh yeah,

756
00:42:08,599 --> 00:42:11,320
I'm sorry, Eli Love, Yeah, Eli Love.

757
00:42:11,679 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 2: I was watching the show and I had never heard

758
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,800
of this guy before, and I just watched him play

759
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:22,480
this tune. And literally, I've working on this project. I

760
00:42:22,519 --> 00:42:25,440
haven't listened to anybody else but myself for like a year.

761
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,480
I'm so sick of my voice that everybody's like, wow,

762
00:42:28,519 --> 00:42:31,400
I like your voice. I'm like, yeah, yeah, I'm me too,

763
00:42:31,679 --> 00:42:35,599
I guess. But I was watching your show and I

764
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,440
saw I saw this wonderful, wonderful musician, and I went

765
00:42:39,639 --> 00:42:43,719
following him and he emailed me, you know, like after

766
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,719
I started following him, you get the email, like because

767
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,719
he's a pro, Like, I'm literally modeling some of the

768
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,599
marketing stuff that I'm doing after what he does. Smart

769
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:56,840
and uh, long story short, I saw new music because

770
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,039
of you, you know, And that's what we want to

771
00:42:59,119 --> 00:43:02,119
bring to the area. We want to get people like

772
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,039
like Sarah Bird, and we want to get the Cosmic Blossoms,

773
00:43:05,079 --> 00:43:09,199
the Dog eight Dogs. I'm talking to another really wonderful

774
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,280
musician in the area's name is Justin Jordan, about getting

775
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:16,920
him down in the studio, and we're just we're just

776
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:17,920
that's what we're trying to push.

777
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 6: Get get him down there, get him recorded, get him

778
00:43:20,559 --> 00:43:23,400
selling it, because if we can sell it, if we

779
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:28,400
can prove commercial viability, then we can actually make Nashua

780
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,039
and Manchester Southern New Hampshire. Like you know, my my

781
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,840
tagline for the last couple of years is I want

782
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,079
to turn Nashua into a mini Nashville.

783
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want we talk to anybody, anybody else in

784
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,239
the country. They say where are you from, and you

785
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,760
say Nashua, They're gonna be like Nashville. Yeah, I just

786
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,760
say Boston now. And I mean for the music that I.

787
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,119
Speaker 6: Love, I play a lot of blues and rock and

788
00:43:53,519 --> 00:43:56,239
stuff like that. I'm actually a shameless self plug the

789
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,159
Blues Fest on August second here in Manchester. I'll be

790
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,760
playing there with the Craig Thomas band or that it's

791
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,440
called Bluetopia, Craig Thomas and Bluetopia. But that's the music

792
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,199
that I really love, the music that I kind of

793
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,679
grow up, grew up listening to and and caring about,

794
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:16,119
and you know, the the whole idea is at least

795
00:44:16,159 --> 00:44:19,880
with Hatchet Ax and Saw, is to you know, bring

796
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:25,559
local musicians who are doing it, producing original music, you know,

797
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,559
take that to the market, prove commercial viability, and and

798
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:34,400
turn this you know, area into a music hub much

799
00:44:34,519 --> 00:44:37,039
much in the same way. And I think it's long

800
00:44:37,119 --> 00:44:40,960
overdue because Boston. Boston's had, you know, a very strong

801
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,519
local music scene, but there's there's like, you know, maybe

802
00:44:44,559 --> 00:44:47,760
a couple a dozen recording studios, and there's even fewer

803
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,760
actual labels that you can that you can publish through.

804
00:44:51,559 --> 00:44:54,119
And I mean, you know, we we have great, like again,

805
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,480
great studios around and it's not like the facility that

806
00:44:57,519 --> 00:44:59,960
we're at as any better, any worse. But I think

807
00:45:00,159 --> 00:45:02,760
the product that we actually offer is going to be

808
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,239
the promotion, the actual trying to get it out to market,

809
00:45:06,159 --> 00:45:10,400
cooperating with local you know, record distributors. There's this fellow

810
00:45:10,519 --> 00:45:13,960
Dan up in Laconia who owns a little record shop

811
00:45:14,079 --> 00:45:16,679
up there. I would love to plug the name of it.

812
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:22,039
It's oh my lord, I'm so sorry Dan forgetting the

813
00:45:22,119 --> 00:45:22,760
name of your business.

814
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 2: But it's a little little.

815
00:45:25,559 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 6: Right exactly. But it's this little record shop right up

816
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,679
in Laconia, right down the street from the theater there

817
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,639
where they have a lot of live music acts, and

818
00:45:33,039 --> 00:45:36,159
I planned to partner with him get physical copies in

819
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,400
stores around that, you know, like down and Lowell.

820
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 2: There's there's a couple of little record shops as well.

821
00:45:41,559 --> 00:45:45,039
Speaker 6: So getting the music out to the people selling it, yes,

822
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,119
and and that that is the thing that a lot

823
00:45:47,199 --> 00:45:50,039
of local artists have the hardest time doing. They'll play

824
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,400
gig after gig after gig, and they'll be grinding themselves

825
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,960
into dust, but they don't have any sort of you know,

826
00:45:56,119 --> 00:45:58,119
means of passive income selling the music.

827
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,519
Speaker 2: Right. That's the reason why I'm not Now, that's the

828
00:46:00,559 --> 00:46:02,960
reason why I'm hanging tight on the live shows. Uh,

829
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,400
getting the product, and then then you use the live

830
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,360
shows and just a product. We're going to be pushing

831
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,679
lost in it all until until the uh till the

832
00:46:12,119 --> 00:46:14,519
til the full length comes out. I mean, I'm gonna

833
00:46:14,519 --> 00:46:16,320
be sharing the other songs too, of course we're playing

834
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,440
them today, but yeah, that is the single. And then

835
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,280
but I'm well aware that I'm not going to look

836
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,000
at Spotify and see myself blow up until i start

837
00:46:25,039 --> 00:46:27,400
playing live. But I'm going to be killing myself in

838
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,840
the studio. If I'm trying to juggle playing live and

839
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,199
get this all together.

840
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,760
Speaker 6: The right way creative balancing acts.

841
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that makes sense. That makes a lot of sense.

842
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,079
So in a moment, will yeah, We'll play lost in

843
00:46:39,159 --> 00:46:41,239
it All to close out the segment.

844
00:46:41,199 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 2: Faith in We got to talk about faith featuring. Yeah.

845
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,639
So this this tune, Yeah, this tune was how we

846
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,960
started this. This started. We started recording this song four

847
00:46:54,039 --> 00:46:56,880
years ago. I was in a band with a wonderful

848
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:01,880
local musician and sat sound therapist. Is that the right, Yeah?

849
00:47:03,679 --> 00:47:06,599
So her name is Jessica's Songbird of the I ka

850
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,239
Jessica Olsen, and we were both members of the jess

851
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,519
Olsen Band, and I did a lot of writing and

852
00:47:13,639 --> 00:47:17,960
I came up with this tune about how it all

853
00:47:18,039 --> 00:47:22,119
started with the group. I went out saw her playing

854
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,760
with a guy named Seth who I had never met,

855
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,159
but I knew. We played in a group called Project Mess,

856
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:35,480
and that's where the lyric guy played Mess. So the

857
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,360
whole song is me not even play that. It's not

858
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,760
about me playing. It's about me going to a show,

859
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,760
seeing this wonderful band led by a really great female

860
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:50,119
artist and getting lost, getting lost in the moments, you know,

861
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,599
And so we started a band. Things didn't work out.

862
00:47:54,639 --> 00:47:57,199
We didn't uh, we didn't necessarily see eye to eye

863
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,480
in the direction of the music, which is one of

864
00:47:59,519 --> 00:48:03,239
the reasons that I'm a solo artist. It's I've come

865
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,639
to terms with the fact that that if I want

866
00:48:05,679 --> 00:48:08,039
to do the stuff I want to do, I have

867
00:48:08,199 --> 00:48:11,639
to have creative control. And I'm not saying anything bad

868
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,280
about about Jessica. She's a wonderful, wonderful human being. We

869
00:48:15,519 --> 00:48:18,800
just didn't She wanted to she wanted to go in

870
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,000
one direction. I didn't want to go. So so I'm like,

871
00:48:21,039 --> 00:48:22,719
all right, you know. And and that he was the

872
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,400
one who convinced me to do the solo thing. He's like,

873
00:48:25,519 --> 00:48:28,519
you should, we should do this, as you you know,

874
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,480
and and and it obviously it takes a village. I

875
00:48:31,559 --> 00:48:34,519
keep plugging all these wonderful, amazing artists that are on

876
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:38,280
the tracks, but I put them on the tracks, And

877
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,360
and when they came in they were they looked at

878
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:41,480
me and they're like, all right, what do you want

879
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,480
me to do? With the exception of Nick Burns just

880
00:48:43,519 --> 00:48:46,000
coming in and killing it, they would look at me

881
00:48:46,199 --> 00:48:47,239
and be like, all right, what do you want me

882
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,920
to do, and and then I wanted them to put

883
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,360
their mark on it. So the original tune was recorded

884
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,360
with the jess Olsen band. I wrote it for a

885
00:48:55,440 --> 00:49:01,239
female to sing and wonderful bass player. His tracks are

886
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:06,599
still there, Alex Philip Brown and Seth Sears on drums obviously,

887
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,800
Caleb on organ and piano. I think some guitar in

888
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,280
there too, No, I redid all the guitar.

889
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,199
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, yeah, yes, yes, yes, there are some fun stuff.

890
00:49:16,519 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 2: So I'm listening to the tune and I'm one day

891
00:49:20,559 --> 00:49:22,400
and it was not supposed to be on the EP

892
00:49:22,639 --> 00:49:25,400
at all. This song wasn't I did, but it's in

893
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,800
the studio. It's like there's a list that drops down

894
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,559
of songs. I'm like, I'm gonna listen to loss and

895
00:49:30,679 --> 00:49:33,880
listen to Just's voice instead of mine. And this was

896
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,000
at like midnight. I had been working all night and

897
00:49:37,519 --> 00:49:41,440
I was like, wait a minute, this song's awesome. I'm

898
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,920
gonna sing it yea. So needless to say, I was

899
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,000
there until about four in the morning re recording lead

900
00:49:48,159 --> 00:49:51,280
vocals for this tune. And I finish it and I

901
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,960
think it's great, and I said it to Caleb and

902
00:49:54,079 --> 00:49:54,960
He's like, no, no, no.

903
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 6: I laughed at some things.

904
00:49:56,599 --> 00:49:59,679
Speaker 2: I said a couple of lyrics because there is some comedy,

905
00:50:00,119 --> 00:50:02,440
like getting Nowhere. There is a little bit of comedy

906
00:50:02,519 --> 00:50:06,559
involved in what I do. I really love SNL and

907
00:50:07,159 --> 00:50:10,760
like Mad Magazine. My father my biggest musical inspiration was

908
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,599
in a group called Gross National Productions back in the seventies,

909
00:50:13,639 --> 00:50:16,440
and they did comedy. Their lead singer ended up being

910
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,800
a regular on Howard Stern back in the day, you know,

911
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,960
just because all slapstick stuff. Yeah. So, but some of

912
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,920
the lyrics, Caleb was like, no, no, You're going too

913
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,639
far with this. So I'm listening to it and I'm like,

914
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,800
how am I going to make this work? Because it

915
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,119
still sounds like a song about a girl going out,

916
00:50:37,159 --> 00:50:39,719
you know, because it was originally written for Chess. And

917
00:50:40,119 --> 00:50:43,519
I did a show at I did a show on

918
00:50:44,159 --> 00:50:47,519
June twenty second, opening up for the Faith and Band,

919
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,679
and I knew of Faith. Everybody knows Faith, but I didn't,

920
00:50:52,159 --> 00:50:55,280
you know, we'd never really like met in person. So

921
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,559
and I was really nervous because I had an issue.

922
00:50:57,639 --> 00:50:59,639
Caleb couldn't make it. We had a bass player issue,

923
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,800
and so I'm like, I'm gonna be so unprofessional and

924
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,639
I'm gona show up without my bass player. And then

925
00:51:04,639 --> 00:51:06,679
I introduced myself to Faith and she looks at me.

926
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,679
She goes, I'm sorry, I can't find my drummer anywhere.

927
00:51:10,119 --> 00:51:12,880
And I'm like, oh sweet, I'm not the only one,

928
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,119
like awesome, I don't have my bass player. That's cool.

929
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,480
But yeah, So we ended up just setting up together

930
00:51:22,519 --> 00:51:24,760
because I was the opener and and we hit it off,

931
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,639
like like she is just so cool, like like just

932
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,360
down to earth, chill person, like like just one of

933
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:36,239
those people that you like to be around and as

934
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,800
and then I was working on Lost and it just clicked.

935
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,039
I'm like shot in the dark. I got her, I

936
00:51:41,079 --> 00:51:42,960
got her number. I'm gonna text her and see how

937
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,199
she wants to come down. And she said she'd love

938
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,239
to do it, and so she came down. She came

939
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,599
down and we did two sessions. The first session, I

940
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:56,599
was just basically replacing Jess's backup vocals because I wanted

941
00:51:56,639 --> 00:51:58,559
there to be a female presence in this song. There

942
00:51:58,639 --> 00:52:00,880
had to be, and it's theme through a lot of

943
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:02,920
my songs. There's a lot of there's a lot of

944
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:07,639
vocal tracks on this Jade Bailey also released a single yesterday.

945
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,440
Check out Jade Bailey Everybody. She's actually on the chorus

946
00:52:10,519 --> 00:52:13,320
of this as well. Okay, so we have on this course,

947
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:17,000
we have faith, we have Jade, we have Caleb, myself

948
00:52:17,159 --> 00:52:20,320
and Alec the bass player to make it big. And

949
00:52:20,639 --> 00:52:24,079
I'm listening to it. I'm listening to it. You know,

950
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,320
faith is faith is loving it, and everybody's loving it.

951
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,440
And I'm like, it's just not right. This should be

952
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,719
a duet because of because of what she did and

953
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,480
how she put her mark on things and the or

954
00:52:35,679 --> 00:52:38,079
the way we organize the lyrics, and it already sounded

955
00:52:38,119 --> 00:52:40,440
like a duet. But so I'm like, if I just

956
00:52:40,519 --> 00:52:43,800
get her to sing two lines in the verse and

957
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,920
have her take the lead on two of the lines,

958
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,800
this is a duet and that's what's going to make

959
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,639
this tune. So I text her back again. I'm like, hey,

960
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,039
you know, I said, everything's so great, can you come

961
00:52:54,119 --> 00:52:57,000
back down? She's I'd love to, and and and she's

962
00:52:57,039 --> 00:52:59,199
a pro, like in in the in the studio, she

963
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:03,559
just came down absolutely nailed the tracks and like sometimes

964
00:53:03,599 --> 00:53:05,719
you're working with singers and uh, you know, because we

965
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,639
miss notes and we have to retake with her. It

966
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,119
was just like we both knew when she missed something,

967
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,440
stop rewind go. Like there was no like, oh I

968
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,199
thought that was good, or let's talk about it, let's

969
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,360
worry about feelings. It was just like, all right, let's

970
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:24,039
hit it. And so she did. She came down, She's

971
00:53:24,039 --> 00:53:25,639
saying the other two lines, and.

972
00:53:26,679 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 6: I love singers that can admit when they're wrong.

973
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:30,280
Speaker 7: I have to.

974
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 2: Dude, yeah, which is you know, it is what it is.

975
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,079
But so then we're digging in and I'm like, just

976
00:53:39,159 --> 00:53:41,159
like on your toes. I'm like, all right, finally the

977
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,280
song's done. Like I can get Kaled down here to

978
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:48,320
mix it. Caleb's like, let's go. Because we recorded these

979
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,679
tracks for the guitars years ago. He's like, what guitars

980
00:53:51,679 --> 00:53:54,159
are you using? And I'm like, I don't know. And

981
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,480
they started digging into the guitar tracks and the plugins

982
00:53:58,519 --> 00:54:01,719
that I used. It was just awful. And so I'm

983
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,360
like it was another situation where it was like midnight

984
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,800
and Caleb's like, I'm going home. You figure it out.

985
00:54:07,559 --> 00:54:09,800
And again I was there till four in the morning,

986
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,400
re recording every guitar track on it, including the solo,

987
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:18,199
and then the song was done, and when I wrapped

988
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:22,800
on that, it was three days before the release. I

989
00:54:23,119 --> 00:54:25,360
had to re send it over to my mastering engineer,

990
