But 120 00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:06,680 how did you how did you land there from? You said, 121 00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:08,000 Western New York Originally? 122 00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 11: Yeah, So I am a teacher and I teach French. Oh, 123 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,399 and I went to go look for a job. It 124 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,560 was harder to find French teaching positions in Western New York. 125 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,439 And they had this program where you could click on 126 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,360 any state you'd want to work at, and then town 127 00:08:25,519 --> 00:08:28,120 and you could send out your resume. So I ended 128 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,240 up in southern Maine only because I had read an 129 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,320 article about Acadia National Park and I thought New England 130 00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:37,480 was cool. I was in a musical called Carousel when 131 00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:40,200 I was a little girl, and it's all about New England. 132 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,279 So I was like, I'll go there and try that, 133 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,799 and it was the best thing I've ever done. So 134 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,320 I ended up in Maine and I taught there for 135 00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:51,200 a couple of years, and I put music on hold completely. 136 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 4: And then. 137 00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 11: After you know, a bunch of other life life achievements, 138 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,840 having a family and things like that, I came back 139 00:08:59,879 --> 00:09:00,480 to music. 140 00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:02,399 Speaker 3: And I think the only reason, the only. 141 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 11: Way I was able to do that is really because 142 00:09:04,519 --> 00:09:07,440 of the Portsmouth music scene and the new music scene 143 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,120 as a whole. Everybody is so receptive and kind and 144 00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:16,240 willing to collaborate, and they're just honest. Nobody is gatekeeping 145 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,679 any any sort of gate circ or contacts. Everyone's oh, 146 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,279 I'll help you get through that, like, oh, you want 147 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,679 to play here? Like and now I feel like I'm 148 00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:26,840 established enough where I'm able to do that for some 149 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,960 other people like oh you want to play there, here's 150 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,480 their phone number, Like sure, we can make that happen. 151 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,120 It just feels such a great collaborative community, and I'm 152 00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:38,240 just everything New England. I should stop talking because once 153 00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:41,159 I start talking about so much. I love the history 154 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,679 and the aesthetic and the feel out here. It's just 155 00:09:44,879 --> 00:09:46,879 it's just the best place to be. I this will 156 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,720 be my home, for my forever home for sure. 157 00:09:49,879 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: Outstanding. No, that's good to hear. You did mention so 158 00:09:53,039 --> 00:09:54,879 you had kind of taken a break from music right 159 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,120 to focus on other things. You mentioned a family and 160 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,399 of course your career as an educator and so forth. 161 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,919 Did you always know that you were going to come 162 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,600 back to it, like, was that always kind of the 163 00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:07,559 plan or at least maybe in the back of your mind, 164 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,960 or did you at any point think, you know, no, 165 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,799 I've left that behind and I'm onto this other phase 166 00:10:14,919 --> 00:10:17,279 or what was kind of your thought process during that time? 167 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 11: I guess I know I was always going to be singing. 168 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,440 I kind of was born singing and it's in my blood. 169 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,039 So there's no stopping that. There's no stopping the songwriting. 170 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,759 Sometimes I will flat out communicate with other people just 171 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,840 and I'll sing them a little too, and amazing back 172 00:10:32,879 --> 00:10:35,879 to me. Yeah, big songs up about everything. So that 173 00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:39,000 was never going to stop. I knew that, and I 174 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,519 always knew as mother I wanted to pass on that 175 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,360 musical piece to my children and definitely attend the attending 176 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,360 concerts and shows. 177 00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:49,759 Speaker 3: That never stopped. That's always been really strong. 178 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,279 Speaker 11: Yeah, But I think what was hard for me was 179 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,519 to think of a teacher in kind of a public 180 00:10:55,879 --> 00:10:58,840 space also performing and can you do more than one thing? 181 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 3: And is that okay to do? 182 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 11: That's maybe what helped me help me back for a 183 00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:05,720 little bit, but it was it was the best thing 184 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,960 to do because I spent several years just listening to music, 185 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,759 watching other people perform really personal in private with my 186 00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:17,600 own music, and that felt that felt really right. 187 00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 3: I think a big change was. 188 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,039 Speaker 11: I lost my dad, and when after he passed away, 189 00:11:23,039 --> 00:11:24,799 it kind of realized, whoa, this is it, Like, this 190 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:25,759 is life and. 191 00:11:25,879 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 3: If you want to do something, you got it. What 192 00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:29,000 am I doing? I got to go do it if 193 00:11:29,039 --> 00:11:31,279 I want to get out there and do it. 194 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 11: And so I slowly but surely tried a couple things, 195 00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:37,879 and like I said, everyone was so so receptive and 196 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,360 it's just been a blast. 197 00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:41,279 Speaker 3: I'm having the best time. 198 00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:43,759 Speaker 1: This might be a little bit of a side street 199 00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:47,440 forgive me, but you mentioned losing your dad and and 200 00:11:47,919 --> 00:11:50,519 and you said something that I kind of connected with 201 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,679 because so I lost my father recently actually in December, 202 00:11:54,879 --> 00:11:58,240 and and but you, you know, you mentioned losing your 203 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,440 dad and then feeling like, well, you really got to 204 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,200 you know, you really got to push forward with this. 205 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,159 And I'm just curious. I don't know how deep you 206 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,200 want to go with this, but I'm just curious, did 207 00:12:06,279 --> 00:12:09,519 you find that because I went through this thing, maybe 208 00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:11,639 I'm still going through it because it was relatively recent 209 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,320 where it kind of losing a parent kind of forces 210 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,799 you to confront your own mortality in a weird way, 211 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,440 and then it kind of maybe is that part of 212 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,039 what kind of pushed you because it sounds like losing 213 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,840 your dad kind of pushed you forward a little bit 214 00:12:25,879 --> 00:12:28,440 to really really do what you felt driven to do. 215 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,519 Speaker 3: For sure, I think we need to make the most nothing. 216 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 11: Time goes by so quickly, and there's so much that 217 00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:38,720 is as much as we like to think we're in 218 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,120 control and in the driver's seat, there's so many components 219 00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:42,960 where we really you don't know what's going to happen. 220 00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:43,519 Speaker 3: So if there's a. 221 00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 11: Window of time when you can follow your passion and 222 00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:48,159 put it out there and share it with other people. 223 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,519 I think that's great. I'll also say I wrote some 224 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,840 songs about my dad and found a way of kind 225 00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:56,360 of my grief was through that outreach and sharing some 226 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,480 of that music with other people. Actually did a whole 227 00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:02,440 event a group called the Pre Dead Social Club, which 228 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,000 and I'm so sorry about the passing of your dad 229 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,639 might be connect with. But they bring people together all 230 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,360 over the Sea Coast in New England and talk about 231 00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:16,279 you know, life and death and they help people get 232 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,840 through those moments. And they actually had a concert in 233 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,399 October and we got to come together. We each shared 234 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,960 there were three different singer songwriters. We each shared songs 235 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,440 about grief or things that we've been through, and then 236 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,639 they assigned us somebody who had lost somebody and then 237 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,720 we got to write a song for that person and 238 00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:36,799 present it. And it was just so powerful to put 239 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,440 all of those feelings into into music. 240 00:13:40,919 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: Now, that's that's excellent because something that a theme that 241 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,759 comes up a lot on this program is you know, 242 00:13:47,919 --> 00:13:50,240 taking things that are negative, you know, like loss and 243 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,039 you know, in this case, loss and grief and all 244 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,000 of that and turning it into art. And then so 245 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,720 you're taking something negative, you're creating something positive about it. 246 00:13:57,799 --> 00:13:59,799 And it's positive because not only does it help you 247 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,279 when you create that art, not only is it you know, 248 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,559 it's a great form of therapy, right to create something 249 00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:08,080 out of that, but also it helps other people who 250 00:14:08,159 --> 00:14:10,559 then connect with the art that you've created, other people 251 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,960 who can relate to what you're going through. And I 252 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,320 think that's outstanding. What is that called again, the pre Dead? 253 00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 11: What? 254 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:19,559 Speaker 3: Pre Dead Social Club? 255 00:14:19,679 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: Pre Dead Social Club? I like that a lot. 256 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 3: The first time I heard that name, I was like, 257 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:24,320 what is this? 258 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 5: I don't know what this is? 259 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 11: And then I met Laura who runs who runs the organization, 260 00:14:30,039 --> 00:14:32,679 and she's just doing so much great work to bring 261 00:14:32,759 --> 00:14:35,879 people together. And because that was another thing, you know, 262 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,919 you lose, you lose somebody that's so close to you, 263 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,960 and then then what, like what do you do? People 264 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,639 will bring over some cast roles and they say sorry, sorry, 265 00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:46,279 and and it's sad and everyone's trying to help you. 266 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,519 But it's just to have somebody that really gets the 267 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,840 whole process. It was was tremendous and instrumentous. 268 00:14:53,679 --> 00:14:54,279 Speaker 3: Doing great work. 269 00:14:55,039 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 11: Absolutely funny what you said about connecting through themes. There's 270 00:14:58,679 --> 00:15:01,200 some songs that I write that people will see, oh, 271 00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:03,600 I love that song that you wrote about this, and 272 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,919 I'm like, oh, that's like, thank you. It's not necessarily 273 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,919 what I wrote it about. 274 00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 3: I have a lot of songs. 275 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 11: My big theme on my album is kind of setting 276 00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:17,200 limits and and like moving on. Right, So there's there's 277 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,399 that song that you just heard, just saying enough, this 278 00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:22,440 is enough, and I'm choosing to go a different path. 279 00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:25,720 But it's interesting people's take on what they hear and 280 00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:28,679 how they interpret each each song. 281 00:15:29,159 --> 00:15:31,879 Speaker 1: Well, it's another thing too about art, is you know 282 00:15:32,039 --> 00:15:34,360 you can obviously you can interpret it however you want 283 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,720 to and however it connects with you in this case, 284 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,600 in the case of songs, obviously how it connects with 285 00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:42,559 you as a listener. But it is interesting how sometimes yeah, 286 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,759 people will this is this will sound random. But I 287 00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:48,279 just said this to a friend of mine the other 288 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,360 day that when I was a kid, I was actually 289 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,039 mad at Sammy Hagar for saying that Love Walks In 290 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,799 was about aliens, because I didn't want it to be 291 00:15:54,879 --> 00:16:00,000 about that. But but it's just but it's always interest 292 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,919 see to me too, when you know, I'll uh, I'll 293 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,360 have a certain song or something or an album that 294 00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:07,039 it connects with me in a certain way. And then 295 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,360 you know, I read an interview UH with the artists 296 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,399 who wrote the song, and it turns out it's about 297 00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:14,480 something completely different than what I thought. And then there's 298 00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:17,000 that it's weird. You know, there's that little bit of Oh, 299 00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:18,559 I kind of wanted it to be about what I 300 00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:20,600 wanted it to be about, but that's just narcissistic. 301 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,279 Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, So there's. 302 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,519 Speaker 11: Some songs that I don't really share too much about 303 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,000 what it is because sometimes it's much more literal than 304 00:16:28,039 --> 00:16:28,960 maybe what people. 305 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 3: Assume. 306 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 11: Yeah, some of it is pretty obvious, like there's yeah, 307 00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:38,879 but I like to see that takeaway. 308 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,039 Speaker 3: Everybody can get a piece of takeaway something different. 309 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: Yeah.

So I did a couple of band shows 355 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,039 and now I'm doing solo band and then sometimes I'm 356 00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:53,200 performing as a duo, which is really really nice to 357 00:18:53,319 --> 00:18:57,559 carry the kind of guitar load of each each piece. 358 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,200 And it also I think anytime I have somebody performing me, 359 00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:03,400 it gives the audience a break from my vocals, because 360 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,559 I think it's a lot to hear somebody's kind of 361 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,720 belting for two hours when they start booking for me 362 00:19:09,799 --> 00:19:10,880 for three hours plus. 363 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 3: I definitely like to have somebody else with me. 364 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,519 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well it's nice too that you're able to do 365 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,000 that in different configurations when when you've got the full band, 366 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,839 what what does that? What does that entail like? 367 00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:26,319 Speaker 2: Is it? Is it? 368 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: Yeah? Tell me about that? 369 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 11: Yes, So I'm calling it Caitlin Piper and that's not 370 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,960 because I'm. 371 00:19:34,279 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 3: Into my own name or anything, but it's just it's 372 00:19:37,279 --> 00:19:38,000 steady for me. 373 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:43,279 Speaker 11: So I'm performing originals and covers in this band setting, 374 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,920 and I kind of have a rotation or almost like 375 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,519 a bench of performers that join me, and they are 376 00:19:49,599 --> 00:19:52,400 some they are the best performers in the Sea Coast 377 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:57,359 and because of that, their schedules aren't always but that's 378 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,559 why there's there's like a whole little crew. So you know, 379 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,599 you think of the gate, you think of the setting, 380 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,440 you think of the time and and all the different elements, 381 00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:08,480 and think who would be the best combo for the 382 00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:10,559 first try, and you see if they can make it, 383 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,400 and then if they can't, then you pivot. And I've 384 00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:16,440 had the opportunity to work with people that are just 385 00:20:16,599 --> 00:20:20,119 absolutely outstanding. So yeah, I'm very proud of that and 386 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,319 totally honored that they're willing to take on my original 387 00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:26,119 original songs and songs they wrote you know, in my 388 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,039 room or something or after like a very small emotional moment, 389 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,880 I write this song and now it's on the stage 390 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,799 in front of all these people. It's it's really cool. 391 00:20:35,079 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fantastic. I'm also curious about your influences because obviously, 392 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,279 you know, you listen to a song like moving On, 393 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,599 and I think I even said coming out of the song, 394 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,160 you can hear a mix of a mix of influences there. 395 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,119 So I'm curious. I'm curious about what you listen to 396 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,440 growing up and what kind of informs your your music 397 00:20:54,519 --> 00:20:56,599 and your your style today. 398 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 11: Well, I would love to hear the influences that that 399 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,720 you hear in that song. I'm always curious to see 400 00:21:03,759 --> 00:21:06,279 because trying to define a genre is really difficult. You know, 401 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,640 you you communicate with different venues and they have to 402 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,079 fill out all this information and to really find tune 403 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,000 what I'm doing has been a little bit difficult. 404 00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 3: Somebody told me the other day. 405 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,319 Speaker 11: I think they're like, I think you're the only one 406 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,720 kind of having this sound in our in our area, 407 00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:21,160 which was a huge compliment. 408 00:21:21,559 --> 00:21:23,519 Speaker 3: But I'm calling it soul pop more or less. 409 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: I think I think that's a good term, soul pop, yes, 410 00:21:28,599 --> 00:21:29,319 which puts. 411 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 11: Me in the same realm as like and not to 412 00:21:33,279 --> 00:21:34,960 say I'm at the level of these people, but I'm 413 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000 in the same field as Lake Street Dive is a 414 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:43,640 huge influence. Not everybody knows Lake Street dive, so like 415 00:21:43,759 --> 00:21:48,119 Stevie Wonder, Amy Winehouse, the soulful pop music, and I 416 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,559 think what I apply to it that's a little bit 417 00:21:50,599 --> 00:21:52,720 different and makes it harder to define, is like really 418 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:53,960 cool guitar parts. 419 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, so that. 420 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,039 Speaker 11: Like that doesn't always fit with what those those other 421 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,319 bands might be or groups might be doing. So growing up, 422 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,559 I've listened to absolutely everything I've had. You know, my 423 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,960 dad brought in the Beatles into my life, and my 424 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,559 mom was a piano major in college and brought in 425 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,680 all of this musical theater in classical music, just gorgeous, 426 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,480 gorgeous music. 427 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 3: And once I could get a cassette tape. 428 00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 11: And aging myself here CD player, I'll go with. I 429 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,960 just listen to music NonStop. And I got a karaoke 430 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,880 machine when I was really little, and I'm like, my 431 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,359 mom got me like Sinatra. 432 00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 3: So I was like third grade making my own radio show. 433 00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 11: And I would not the words down to the songs, 434 00:22:40,039 --> 00:22:42,160 or I would take like the backing checks and change 435 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,240 the melodies and record it and then listen to it back. 436 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,039 Speaker 3: Oh wow, I think that was a huge, a huge part. 437 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,279 Speaker 11: But yeah, serious, I know everybody says they're eclectic and 438 00:22:50,319 --> 00:22:53,359 they listen to everything, but jazz is a huge part 439 00:22:53,519 --> 00:22:56,920 of what I listened to. Ela Fitzgerald's my favorite, my 440 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,880 all time favorite vocalist, and so I spend a lot 441 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,680 of time listening to jazz and a lot of musicals, 442 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,119 which I know is could be perceived as nerdy, but 443 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,640 I don't care. I'm proud of I'm proud of that 444 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,480 and that the harmony's piece really comes through through that. 445 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,119 And then I just seek like music of the times. 446 00:23:18,599 --> 00:23:21,119 I was in market yesterday and they were playing an 447 00:23:21,279 --> 00:23:24,359 n Sync song and some of the harmonies. I was like, Oh, 448 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,799 my goodness, is this where I'm getting what I'm trying 449 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,680 to do? And my music like is this is this 450 00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:33,000 my aim? Is this maybe where it's seeped in from. 451 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,319 So truly a little bit of a little bit of everything. 452 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,960 But Lake Street Dive is a big, big band that 453 00:23:39,039 --> 00:23:43,480 I love. Couch is another band that. 454 00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 3: I listened to. So I'm getting a little bit obscured. 455 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: But do you know, do you know Cosmic Blossom they're 456 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,000 from the area, I don't know. They kind of remind 457 00:23:53,039 --> 00:23:54,359 me a little bit of them. They've they've got kind 458 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,160 of that vibe. I mean, you know, they're I mean, 459 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,640 they're pretty eclectic themselves. But you know, if you listen 460 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,599 to one Cosmic Blossom song, it's not going to sound 461 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,240 like like the next one necessarily. But but it kind 462 00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:05,119 of kind of reminded me of that a little bit too. 463 00:24:05,559 --> 00:24:07,559 But I think that I think that you know what 464 00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:11,839 you're doing because it mixes different things. I would imagine 465 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,720 that it kind of really you know, you mentioned the 466 00:24:16,839 --> 00:24:18,920 challenge of trying to kind of pigeonhole it well while 467 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,880 you're explaining to someone what you sound like if they 468 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,480 haven't heard you yet. But but I would imagine it 469 00:24:23,599 --> 00:24:25,160 it does kind of open you up, though, to being 470 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,200 able to play a lot of different kinds of venues, 471 00:24:27,279 --> 00:24:31,759 especially where you can do it in different configurations. I 472 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,920 was looking at, Uh, where's that list? You've you've played 473 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,319 some interesting places like the like the Strawberry Bank Museum, 474 00:24:40,079 --> 00:24:43,240 for example. I mean that, you know, that's that's that's 475 00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:45,400 pretty cool. I remember going there when I was a kid, 476 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,839 to the Strawberry Bank Museum. 477 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I did a big run of their shows. 478 00:24:50,279 --> 00:24:52,759 Speaker 11: Of their shows, I did like some Christmas songs for 479 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,279 them on some holiday music for their Candle Light Stroll. 480 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 3: And then they have an event called Tuesdays on the Terrace. 481 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,839 Speaker 11: So last we got to perform in front of all 482 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,200 of these historic homes and everyone comes and they sit 483 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,880 in their chairs out in this field. 484 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 3: And it was great. I absolutely love Strawberry Bank. 485 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 11: I love Strawberry Bank so much that somehow, when I 486 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,319 won that award that we were talking about, they had 487 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,559 to listen address, and I don't know how that was 488 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,920 my address, but I am listed as that's where I live. 489 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's my it's my home base. 490 00:25:21,519 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 11: But I will be back at Strawberry Bank with a 491 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,480 full band August fourth for their Tuesdays on the Terrorists series, 492 00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:30,000 which will be really fun. But yeah, the different genres 493 00:25:30,039 --> 00:25:34,240 of not not having something totally claimed has been interesting. 494 00:25:34,319 --> 00:25:37,200 I was able to fill in with the Stray Horses 495 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,160 for their last Waltz concert last November, and I sang 496 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,519 Joni Mitchell songs. I was at the press room in 497 00:25:44,559 --> 00:25:47,599 August with a full band opening for Maggie Baugh, who 498 00:25:48,039 --> 00:25:52,160 was Keith Urban's lead guitarist. Okay, so I was kind 499 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,319 of like a country esque piece, and I can lean 500 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,240 that way for sure. 501 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 3: It's it kind of just is what I'm in the 502 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,200 mood for. I guess, but it's been cool. 503 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:04,599 Speaker 1: Yeah. 504 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,799 Speaker 11: I think because I like so many different types of music, 505 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,000 it's been I've been able to bounce around nicely and 506 00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:11,880 it doesn't feel totally. 507 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 3: Foreign or or out of sorts. 508 00:26:15,599 --> 00:26:15,799 Speaker 4: Yeah. 509 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: I also think too, and again kind of circling back 510 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,759 to where you are, you know, that that area I think, uh, 511 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,160 I think really lends itself to to that kind of flexibility. 512 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,839 I also just to excuse me, just to circle back 513 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,119 to to you know, because you are an educator, I mean, 514 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,519 does that do you feel that the teaching in any 515 00:26:36,599 --> 00:26:42,960 way influences or or informs your songwriting or performing or 516 00:26:43,039 --> 00:26:45,319 I mean, is there any any anything in there that 517 00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:47,960 sort of crosses over in terms of being a teacher. 518 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 3: And I feel like every time I've interviewed this a 519 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:54,079 is all I do. 520 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,599 Speaker 11: And I'm not trying to stuck up by any means, 521 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,400 but I have the most principle at my school and 522 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,200 she's part of the reason why I'm out playing again 523 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,400 because she really said, like, you know, if this is 524 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,880 something you love, do it and just had me bring 525 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,559 it into the school with the kids. I wrote a 526 00:27:11,599 --> 00:27:13,960 school kind of theme song that we do every fall, 527 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,920 and we have a school band called the Riptide Rhythms. 528 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,440 We were under Hampshire Chronicle, which is fun. So our 529 00:27:22,519 --> 00:27:25,680 superintendent and our assistant superintendent, we're all in this band 530 00:27:25,759 --> 00:27:29,319 and we perform for the kids sometimes, but that's just 531 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,279 a nice piece. So I feel really comfortable combining both. 532 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,359 I do a lot of singing with my students, for sure. 533 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,960 But something that my principal does with us before meeting 534 00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:40,640 is she goes over these social norms of how we 535 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,680 need to go into the mindset we should have before 536 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,319 we interact, and she talks about assuming positive intent and 537 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,680 that's really been life changing. And so I have a 538 00:27:50,759 --> 00:27:53,279 song that I just flat out say, like, I'm going 539 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,000 to assume positive intent from you. So already coming into something, 540 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,279 I know everyone's doing the best they can. Nothing's edgy, 541 00:28:01,559 --> 00:28:03,640 it's all going to feel good. So yeah, I think 542 00:28:03,759 --> 00:28:06,519 I think those, especially because right now I'm teaching elementary school, 543 00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:11,200 those kind of feel good themes come can come through 544 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,960 quite a bit, and big social themes too. You know, 545 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,480 when you see something happening in your adult life just 546 00:28:16,599 --> 00:28:18,200 I don't know, it's like a whole wave of. 547 00:28:19,799 --> 00:28:20,559 Speaker 3: Kind of the times. 548 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: Sure, sure, absolutely absolutely, So what tell us again? So 549 00:28:26,759 --> 00:28:29,799 the album. The album's out June twenty twenty six. How 550 00:28:29,839 --> 00:28:31,279 many how many tracks are on it? 551 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,319 Speaker 3: That's the question, Matt, that's oh so. 552 00:28:35,519 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: This is still a work in progress. 553 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,119 Speaker 3: I well, there's where's one song. I'm like, do I am? 554 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,880 I'm either going to put it on. I'm there's one 555 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,559 song that's on. It might be cut. I don't know. 556 00:28:47,839 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 8: Oh okay, I'm thinking I'm thinking. 557 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,039 Speaker 11: Ten songs, and maybe I should just make it ten 558 00:28:52,119 --> 00:28:54,799 and not do the eleventh one. Yeah, going back to 559 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,200 forth about this song. It's all done, it's all I 560 00:28:59,319 --> 00:29:01,200 just don't know if it That's another thing I'm battling 561 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,440 with the genre piece, like. 562 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 3: Does it all fit together? 563 00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 11: And is this a cohesive model of what's happening or 564 00:29:10,079 --> 00:29:12,000 do I just go with like a genre and push 565 00:29:12,079 --> 00:29:15,400 that out. I think what's going to end up happening 566 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,680 is I'm just going to release this and then maybe 567 00:29:18,079 --> 00:29:20,160 here I go, I'm going to start committing to things. 568 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,519 I think next year I would do like a jazz 569 00:29:26,319 --> 00:29:33,680 acoustic guitar focus kind of mellow album. I mean, yeah, okay, 570 00:29:33,799 --> 00:29:36,240 whole songs like that that I don't think will fit 571 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,279 on on this as much, because you could hear from 572 00:29:39,319 --> 00:29:43,000 that last song like Ian's guitar, Ian Sleeper's playing the guitar, 573 00:29:43,079 --> 00:29:45,680 and that he did so much for that song, and he's. 574 00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 3: Just it's really cool. It's it's borderline like rock, right. 575 00:29:50,039 --> 00:29:51,119 Speaker 1: Oh, it's really good. 576 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 577 00:29:51,519 --> 00:29:53,599 Speaker 1: I really like that solo a lot. 578 00:29:53,759 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 11: Yeah, he's awesome, and he's on a bunch of different 579 00:29:57,079 --> 00:30:00,880 tracks and such a dream to work with, just so easy, 580 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,039 easy going in kind. 581 00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm thinking everything will kind of be that same, 582 00:30:06,559 --> 00:30:10,440 in that same mood of that song. But we'll see. 583 00:30:10,519 --> 00:30:12,680 I have to make my decision, I think this week. 584 00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:16,079 Speaker 1: So I always feel like everybody out there. 585 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,359 Speaker 3: Wants to reach out and be listening heres. Uh, let 586 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:19,599 me know. 587 00:30:20,359 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: I always feel like, if you're gonna do that, if 588 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,759 you have something that doesn't necessarily fit the vibe of 589 00:30:24,799 --> 00:30:26,279 the rest of the album, put it at the end 590 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,880 because because yeah, I'm trying. I'm trying to think of 591 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,799 another example, and nothing's coming to me. But I feel 592 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,200 like I feel like that's kind of how it goes, 593 00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:39,759 like if you I wish I could think of a 594 00:30:39,799 --> 00:30:41,599 specific example, but I'm drying a blank. But if you 595 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,839 have something that's kind of a surprise, you know, it's 596 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,319 got to go at the end of the album. If 597 00:30:46,359 --> 00:30:48,279 you put it anywhere else, it's gonna be weird. And 598 00:30:48,359 --> 00:30:49,839 you certainly don't want to put it at the beginning 599 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,480 because it's then it sets you up for wait, what 600 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,240 was that? But if you put it, but if you 601 00:30:54,279 --> 00:30:55,960 put it at the end, it's almost then it almost 602 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,519 becomes sort of like by default, like a bonus track. 603 00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:00,640 I don't like that. 604 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 11: Yeah, somebody was saying, you know, you could always do 605 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,160 it as a single, but the song is about it. 606 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,680 It turns out the song is really truly pop country, 607 00:31:09,279 --> 00:31:12,279 which is not the rest of the album. But it's 608 00:31:12,319 --> 00:31:14,400 a song about kind of coming back into your own 609 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,880 and it's a song I wrote about coming into coming 610 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,920 back to music. And so I think that's a beautiful 611 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,920 thing to on your first album of just saying like 612 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,200 here I am, I'm back and thank you. It's a 613 00:31:23,279 --> 00:31:25,519 kind of a thank you song to the sea ghost. Yeah, 614 00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:29,160 about just being out there again and I'm not afraid 615 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,039 and I'm just going to do it. So that might 616 00:31:31,119 --> 00:31:33,000 be a really nice way to end the album. Or 617 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,799 if anyone listens that far, they might say, huh, that's different, 618 00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:39,720 or you know, I don't know, put it all out there. 619 00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: Whoops, sorry, Oh that's okay, well, very good, very good. 620 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,160 Oh where do you record? By the way, because I 621 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,319 always like to give you know, I don't know if 622 00:31:48,319 --> 00:31:49,839 you go to a studio or whatever you do, but 623 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,759 in so many different ways to record now, but I 624 00:31:51,799 --> 00:31:54,480 always like to make sure that there's a lot of 625 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,240 great recording studios out there, so I want to make 626 00:31:56,279 --> 00:31:59,960 sure we give everybody their shine and that song sound 627 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,200 it's fantastic. Moving on, Yeah, where do you record? 628 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,039 Speaker 11: That song was recorded in a bunch of different places, 629 00:32:10,039 --> 00:32:14,279 so that that was a kind of a mash up situation. 630 00:32:14,559 --> 00:32:16,079 Speaker 3: But Duncan Watt did the. 631 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 11: Mixing and he was very very patient with me. So 632 00:32:24,799 --> 00:32:27,079 I work with him sometimes and I went to his 633 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:33,359 to do that. And uh, the Electric Cave in Portsmouth 634 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,839 is another location that I've been recording at. 635 00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, outstanding. 636 00:32:39,799 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 11: It's more on the people unless the that's the location, 637 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,480 I guess, but I should I should know, I should 638 00:32:44,519 --> 00:32:45,000 be more. 639 00:32:46,599 --> 00:32:46,839 Speaker 12: On it. 640 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,519 Speaker 1: No, No, but it's it's good to you know, it's 641 00:32:49,559 --> 00:32:51,400 good to mention the people who are doing this because, 642 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,279 like I said, yeah, moving on. 643 00:32:54,519 --> 00:32:59,599 Speaker 11: Has Ian Sleeper on guitar Joe Harding is playing the bass, okay, 644 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,559 and he's in He's in so many great they both 645 00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:06,480 are there.
