this this week's show, the artist is and I'm gonna
bring him in a moment. I'm gonna ask me if
I'm saying his name correctly, because it's not a name
I'm used to saying ca hal Fits. I don't. I
don't know if I'm saying that right. Let's go ahead
and bring him in though he's joining us via Microsoft Teams.
Speaker 12: Hello, are you there?
Speaker 13: I'm there, my friend, har Are you? You did a
very very good stob of my name? I must say
I'm very very impressed.
Speaker 11: Well, I had to look it up.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 11: It's amazing on You can go on YouTube and just
type in how to pronounce and just put in whatever
name you're looking for, and someone's inevitably posted a video
explaining it. But you know, and I should.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 11: I am of Irish descent myself, so I should have
had a I should have had a clue, but I
really didn't until I actually looked it up.
Speaker 8: Do you have any idea where your Irish descendants come from?
I do not.
Speaker 11: I do not. I need to research that. I haven't.
I just know that I've got some Irish in me,
not only because my you know, my dad was of
Irish descent, but also if I go out into the
sun in the summer without sunscreen, I burn immediately. So
I'm definitely I'm definitely irish.
Speaker 13: You'd become one of those red and white sweets that
we have over here, you know when white one was read. Yeah,
we're very that's the telltale sign that you've writed genetics
that you don't do the sun very well.
Speaker 8: And we also don't do the rain very well.
Speaker 13: It always rains here and no one ever has any
proper rain gear, so we're just kind of stuck in
this middle of people wearing shorts in December, and so yeah,
it's good.
Speaker 8: Fun though long here it's a lovely place.
Speaker 11: Oh that's interesting. Yeah. Yeah, So I love the song
Pushing thirty, although as someone who pushed thirty quite a
while ago, it makes me feel a little well we'll
talk about that, but it is a great song. Can
you tell us about it. I know that this came
out in November, but you're getting a lot of traction
with this single.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Like it's doing well, and I suppose a lot.
Speaker 13: Of my songs in general, like I started writing music
in July twenty twenty four. I used to be a
personal trainer. I left that job to start writing music.
I just had some sort of away thing where I
was like, this is what I want to do. And
most of my songs and especially Pushing thirty, was a
reflection of people around me and also myself that I
think because of everything the way the world has gone,
that I think people in their latest twenties and early
like they still feel like teenagers, you know, and we're
still kind of stuck in these routes that a lot
of us in Earland can't get houses. We can't, you know,
like everything's expensive, and I think you can. If you're
living without purpose, you can get caught in that rut
of you know, let's go out and number selves on
the weekend and let's adhere to social peer pressure of
you know, the latest trendy clothes or the latest exposed,
and you just get stuck in the rot. And I
suppose I saw that in myself, and I saw.
Speaker 8: That in people around me.
Speaker 13: And I'm very lucky that since I started doing this
that I have the most amazing support network of producers
and managers and everything that it's all kind of falling
into place. But yeah, it's a special song and it
took me four or five minutes to write and it's
having good impact, which is what I want from my music,
just for someone to listen to it and no matter
how old they after pushing sixty, you're pushing thirty.
Speaker 8: Say I like that.
Speaker 13: It's it feels familiar, it feels relatable.
Speaker 11: Just for the record, I'm not pushing sixty. That's not
what I meant, just to clarify. No, But so I'm curious, like,
was there a specific moment that kind of sparked the song,
or was this something that was kind of building up
in you over time or because it sounds like it
sounds like you haven't been necessarily actively pursuing music for
very long, or maybe you have, but from what you said,
it kind of sounded like or at least on this level,
this is kind of new.
Speaker 13: No, It's like, like July twenty twenty four, I quit
my job to do pub covers, like literally just playing
a few covers in a few wow, in a few pubs,
you know. And then last January my missus was saying
to me She's like, you know, you're too good and
too talented to be a pub singer, so you need
to push yourself. So I released my first song last January,
and since then, I've like I've wrote, I've written fourteen
songs or something. In the last two three weeks, I've
another twenty twenty five recorded, and it's just.
Speaker 8: Flowing out of me.
Speaker 13: And I just cannot tell you how much I love it,
Like I just I've never again I picked up a
guitar like again a year and a half ago, having
not played it. I used to strumble in my bedroom
at home four or five chords. But I've just found
something that for the first time in my life, I've
haven't given up on Yeah, And like you know, I've
bounced around loads of different jobs. I'm kind of like
that typical Australian man with a highvas jacket. You'd think
of doing anything that used to be me, you know really,
but I found music, and that song in particular is
almost just a flow consciousness. I sit down with a
guitar five time minutes later the song written. It's not
like that all the time. Like I've got a few
weeks where you know, you just you don't have anything
to say, but I found that I've channeled music into
the craziness in my head and the thoughts I have.
It gives me a platform to allow me to say
what I need to say to myself and maybe to
the world. And if someone gets something from it, then
that's a bonus too.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's fantastic you mentioned too. You know, the miss
is it's great that you have a supportive partner who
encourages you to do that, because that makes a huge difference,
you know, obviously. I mean, and I'm sure you don't
take that for granted, because that's I'm sure you know.
She's very proud of you.
Speaker 13: No, she's she's incredible. She's actually inside now minding the
small fellow with my mum. So shout out to my
mum as well. So I looked away for ten minutes
from parenting duties to.
Speaker 8: Take my world famous rocks.
Speaker 13: There prem here of pushing Kurty, you know, but no, look,
it's almost like it's all meant to happen that, you know,
my partner.
Speaker 8: My parents are very supportive.
Speaker 13: My dad was that typical kind of Irish dad where
you know, you get a job now and you stay
here and you have security. And when I told him
I was going to be a musician, he was a
bit like Jesus, I don't know about that.
Speaker 8: No, that's that's not.
Speaker 13: Very secure as this, but he kind of sees that
it's you know, it's it's going somewhere, like I'm talking
to a radio station in the US, and he's kind
of like, jee's.
Speaker 8: Fair play, tore, that's brilliant. Yeah, yeah, it's cool.
Speaker 13: It's cool, and yeah, it's supportive people, my producer, like
I've met all these people very organically in the last
year and a half, my producer, videographer, manager, and they're
almost like the perfect.
Speaker 8: Team for me to around. So I know I'm meant
to be doing this based on just sleep around me.
Speaker 11: Oh, that's fantastic. Do you feel any kind of you know,
because I know there's sort of this Irish storytelling tradition
and music. I mean, is that something that you're you're
conscious of and your your approach to because you as
you mentioned, you're you know, you're writing a lot of songs.
Speaker 13: Yeah, So, like I think I actually went back to
our native language is Guilgap, so it's I went back
to study that about two years ago, so I'm kind
of learning that. And the Irishness is a very very
particular character.
Speaker 8: We love to tell stories.
Speaker 13: If you ask us for directions, right, the shot could
be up on the right. We'll tell you on the
way to the shop about that tree that's been there
for ten thousand years and that was once, you know.
And that's kind of part of our charm and part
of our imprint.
Speaker 8: On the world.
Speaker 13: And what we have to offer is is kind of
this unique way of looking at things. And I think
as my songs progress in terms of my songwriting, the
last few songs have written are a bit more metaphoric,
a little bit more imagery based, a bit more trying
to tell a story, and I'm trying to channel into that.
I'm trying to lean into that. Like we're called the
Lands of Saints and Scholars, you know, we've some of
the most amazing English writers ever, you know, James Joyce
and Seamus Heaney, all these amazing poets and scholars that
have gone before me. And I feel like I have
almost values upholds.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 13: I'm very proud to be Irish. A lot of people
will know that about me. You know, I learned the
language I love where I'm from. In particular, Cork is
where I'm from, and everyone from Cork loves being from Cork.
That's just kind of you know, we have very special
connections to the land. We have a very special connection
to storytelling. And you know, over the last few hundred years,
we weren't allowed to speak our language because of things
that had gone on, and we had a very unique
way of preserving that, which was keeping the you know,
the spoken word alive and exaggerating stories to try and
make it magical, you know. And that's kind of even
what I'm doing now, the gift of the gap, you know.
Speaker 11: Right exactly. And so so this track Pushing thirty that
we played that came out in November, and then you've
got another single which we're going to play at the
end of our conversation called Enemy of Love, which is
also a great song. But I'm curious, now, what are
kind of your plans in terms of releasing music are
you are you going to do continue to do singles?
Do you have an ep in mind or an album
or what's kind of the forward trajectory for you?
Speaker 13: See, I'm kind of stuck in a bit of a
crossroads at the moment, because the way music is in
the industry is you know yourself that it's very dependent
on algorithms and dependent on a single.
Speaker 8: Getting picked up.
Speaker 13: So I have loads of songs ready to go and written.
My next song is coming out hopefully in the next
four or five weeks. We'll have to submit it to
Spotify and do all those bits. But I'm also I wrote,
as I said, maybe twelve eleven, thirteen, fourteen songs, which
I'm not exactly sure which ones are going to make
it to production, but I wrote a good chunk of
those in the last kind of three weeks, and I
think I have a kind of in me to I
have two studio up dates booked in February, and I
want to record them live, completely live, Yeah, because I
think the way AI is going at the moment in
synthetic music, I think people are crying out for that
authenticity and that wrongness, and even if a chord gets
wrong when you're recording it, it's almost like magic now.
Speaker 8: Imperfection is almost perfection now. So I'm kind of.
Speaker 13: Leaning towards getting those eight songs recorded.
Speaker 8: I feel they're very strong.
Speaker 13: We'd record them live, and I may go against the
arms and just push it as an album, because I
think that's the music should be. If you're releasing single
by single, the story of what music is supposed to
be gets lost, Whereas if you have eight songs together,
there's a whole narrative, there's a whole world to get
engrossed in and feed into it for eight songs.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's something that comes up a lot on the
show because you know, everyone kind of approaches it differently,
and there's so many different you know, I'm old enough
to remember when I was growing up, it was, you know,
an artist would release an album. Well, actually first single
would go to radio six to eight weeks before the
album came out. Then the album comes out, and then
if all goes according to plan, you know, maybe there's
a second single. If things go really well, there's a third,
et cetera. But that was kind of the set way
of doing it. Now there's so many different ways to
release music. You can you know, you can release singles,
you can do an EP, you can do an album.
You can do a series of singles that eventually coalesce
into an EP or an album. Kind of the inverse
of of what it used to be and uh, but
but it's it's so interesting And then that's why I
ask those questions because I'm always really curious, you know,
what everyone I talk to, what their thought process is
in terms of how they approach releasing music, because there
are so many ways to do it now. Yeah, the
other thing that, oh, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 13: So it's like I think for me with that, and
you're very it's very interesting as well. Like I look
at everyone else as an artist and I see what
they're doing. And for me, I've had plenty conversations with
my manager and I think I've decided, not in a
very hippie nonchalant way, but the right thing will will
provide itself when when the right moment arrives. So if
an album feel is right, I'll do that. And I
think the way my songs are written and the message
and the meaning for me about my music is, you know,
I wasn't supposed to be doing this, or maybe I was,
and I don't really know where I am, and I'm
just releasing music and having fun and if it means
doing singles, great, If it means to an album, I
just think the right thing will come along. But for me,
like the first album I ever listened to was an
Irish art is called Damien Rice and the album was
called Oh and it was the most It's it's still
a masterpiece. And when I think of releasing music, that's
the standard I want to hold myself to. I want
someone to listen to a full album and think, well,
there's so much in that, there's so much to take
on that you have to keep listening to it, and
then you find your favorite song and then you say, oh,
I love coming up to this part because there's three
songs here which are really strong, and yeah, it's just
a it's a whole it's a whole other universe of
looking at music.
Speaker 11: You know, is he your biggest influence? Would you say
Damien Rice.
Speaker 13: I think Damien Rice. I think Damien Rice. I think
Tom Waits is another one. I absolutely love Tom Waits
Cash And when I was growing up as well, I'm
very lucky that my parents, my mom and dad had
these CDs and tapes that we'd play on the car.
Speaker 8: They were older music, and I just I love that.
Speaker 13: I think I think Damien Rice and Tom Waits definitely
as well. It would be would be two that I
you know, if I had to have a dinner in
the morning or a breakfast in the morning. It's invite
two people to be to be the two of them,
you know, that would be.
Speaker 11: That would be interesting, Tom Waits, is uh what would
be uh fascinating to uh to sit down with although
probably probably a little hard to understand them at times.
But I'm curious too because you did mention AI and
that's another subject that I as you can imagine, comes
up a lot on the show and its impact on music.
And I'm curious. I mean, is that something you're you're
concerned about or you sounded you struck I felt like
kind of an optimistic tone about it when you said,
you know, it's almost like music that is made entirely
by humans. If it's got little flaws in it, that's
okay because that's what people really want. They want the
humanity of it and not sort of you know, just
completely synthetic music. But I'm curious if you can expand
on that a little bit, and how concerned are you
about AI and music.
Speaker 13: Like I think if you had said thirty years ago,
artists and you know about synthetic drums and synthetic you know,
like synthesizers or like using you know, they'll say even
laptops or computers for card music, people who said, no,
we've our eight tracks and right, so like, I can't
remember who said it, but I was listened to a
video the other day and it was really really interesting.
They were talking about AI music and your man asked him,
He was like, you know, how worried are you about people,
you know, gravitating towards AI music and getting lost? And
he said, well, you can go to a supermarket and
you can buy organic, fair trade bananas, and you can
buy five's bananas that are grown, you know, in a
greenhouse down the road. It's your choice, you know, And
I suppose I would probably lean into the market that
I would want to make music for the people who
want to buy the organic, free trade bananas.
Speaker 8: And I think there's always going to be a market
for that. I think there's always going to be a market.
Speaker 13: For imperfection for you know, seeing someone live and all
the different instruments and even someone making a bum note
on everyone in the crowd laughing, because it's just, you know,
that's what music is.
Speaker 8: It's a gathering, it's a celebration.
Speaker 13: It's someone that you know, you look up to who
is able to speak words that you may not able
to speak yourself, but you can listen to them say
it and it hit something with you, you know. And
if that and even my opinion is is that if
AI music does that for you, then you know, at
least you're conceiving music. It may not be the music
I enjoy or may not be the music I'd like
to make. But and there's I think again, like there's
tools you can take from AI. You know, I actually
use it for Like I'll say to chat Ebt, can
you make me a two week calendar for my content ideas?
You know, I'll ever music for music directly, but I
think there's ways that we can't. If you duck your
head in the sand and say it's not happening, it's
not happening, then you're going to get lost behind.
Speaker 8: And I just think if you can use certain twoes.
Speaker 13: You know, there's a great book by Kyle Newport called
Digital Minimalism, and it's like, you know, use technology to
your advantage.
Speaker 8: You'll make it work for you. So you know, I
don't really care too.
Speaker 13: Much, to be honest, I'll go and play shows to
twenty people and they pay twenty quid for a ticket
and I'll be laughing, you know, right, it doesn't You know,
people will always want to hear what you want to
hear if you're saying the right thing, right right.
Speaker 11: I agree, and I fundamentally agree with what you said,
you know, and it's not like you can't hold back
technology anyway. You know that toothpaste is already all the
way out of the tube. It's here, and you know,
and it's been with us longer than people realize too.
I mean, you know, every major recording studio that is,
you know, sort of technologically up to date, shall we say,
is already using AI and a lot of its software
and you don't necessarily realize it, but you know, you've
got programs that can you know, pitch correct, and you
got all kinds of AI already happening anyway. Of course,
now you can go on some of these apps and
just create songs out of whole cloth, not even whole cloth.
You put in a prompt, you tell what you want,
it spits out something that in some cases is actually
very high quality.
Speaker 8: I'll tell you a funny story.
Speaker 13: I was actually on holidays and alant or Ali caan't
they no Albifera this year and we were sat there
and having a cup of tea and someone was playing
music and a speaker next to me, and I said,
what that sounds like Mumford and Sons or something that's incredible.
Speaker 8: And I went up to them and I was like,
who's that. They were like, oh, it's our friend. He's
her neighbor. He makes music. And I was like wow
and he was.
Speaker 13: They were like, yeah, it's all done through Ai and
I was like, oh, I've been caught.
Speaker 8: I've been caught.
Speaker 13: But look, yeah, just look it's something's sounds sonically great
on our ears. And you know there's a niche that
needs to be scratched there too, So you know, I
kind of had to I kind of had to take
take the l there as the as the young kids
would say, and yeah, I was like, you know, sure, look,
it's it's it's it's happening.
Speaker 8: It's here.
Speaker 13: We can embrace it, we can use it, we cannot
use it. You can complain about it, but you know,
at the end of the day, there's a message out there,
which I feel what music is supposed to do, and
you know, just let it happen.
Speaker 8: Let it happen lean into it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I agree with you. I absolutely agree with you.
And by the way, so you mentioned playing live. Are
you doing a lot of shows?
Speaker 13: Yeah, So I'm kind of in this weird position where
I do cover gigs most nights of the week and
I'm really lucky that I'm really busy, you know, and
that finances bills and like the studio time and everything.
And I got signed with a management just before Christmas,
which was really cool considering it's been like you know,
we say, it was ten months since I had started
releasing music and then I got picked up by a manager,
and even last year I played countless support slots to
quite big artists in Ireland and we're yeah, I'm currently
organizing an Irish and kind of UK tour which is
going to be starting in April, hopefully, myself a manager
in close contact doing all of that. And I just
I love performing, like I'll always be someone that just
I love performing to people in a room, and like,
you know, my ambitions from music is you know, obviously
there's a nice monetary reward down the line when you
put in the graph, but as long as I'm just
playing music to people who want to hear for the
rest of my life and I'm able to, you know,
live comfortably and have a roof over my head.
Speaker 8: I really am happy, you know. I just I love performing.
Speaker 13: I Like the first gig I ever did, I got
a buzz from people, you know, it was actually in
a restaurant, you know, it like a lunchtime slot in
a restaurant, and people's you know, turned around, put down
the knife and fork for a minute and watched me,
and I was like, wow, I have that impact with
my voice, and you know, so yeah, I just love
performing life. I constantly just pick up the guitar at
home and then, like each cover gig I do, I
try my best to make it seem like it's my.
Speaker 8: Last gig, you know. Yeah, yeah, you never know, and
you know, you know, I could be.
Speaker 13: Paralyseed smart and not be able to play the guitar again,
and I'd be kicking myself if I didn't, even if
I was playing a pub. Just just give people in
there something to remember, because you never know who's watching,
you know.
Speaker 11: That is absolutely true, Absolutely one. No, that's great, that's great.
So where's where should people go online? Where's the best
place to go online to keep up with everything that
you're doing.
Speaker 8: Like, there's just the usual.
Speaker 13: If there's Instagram, cahol fits music, Spotify, cahole fits, TikTok,
cahol fits, you know the usual stuff.
Speaker 8: You'll you'll find me somewhere.
Speaker 13: If you do a Google starch Cahol Fitz music, you'll
find me somewhere. And if people have been listening to
this and they're like, you know what I have to
say and they like the music, send me a message,
connect and have a chat, and you know, it's all
it's all gravy.
Speaker 8: It's all gravy.
Speaker 11: Absolutely. You should spell your name too for Americans who
have no idea how to have no idea how to
spell that.
Speaker 13: So it's c A T h A L F I
t Z. You'll find me there somewhere.
Speaker 11: Excellent, excellent. Well, so, in a moment, we're gonna play
this track Enemy of Love after we let you go.
It's been wonderful speaking with you. What should we know
about this song? Is this just the I know this
is the previous single right right before pushing their Yeah, like.
Speaker 13: This was like I would consider myself mostly kind of mind.
The stuff that I'm writing now is quite a bit
more folky and bit more stripped back. But again, I
didn't want to tie myself to one genre because I
think some people get to focus that I'm a focus singer,
and I'm like, yeah, fantastic. But I went into the
studio with a song I had been fingerpicking at home
with my.
Speaker 8: Guitar and my producer. I have to give him a
shout out.
Speaker 13: His name is Keel and Kenny is a magician that
he's just he's so incredibly talented. And I went into
him and I said, let's just make the funnest song
possible we could out of what we have here. Yeah,
and you know, he put down he got a drummer in.
We put down some drums in it. I had never
had drums on a song before, and I was like, interesting,
we put some funky guitar on it, some funky mandolin,
which is an Irish instrument that we use here, mandolin,
And I just said.
Speaker 8: I went into the.
Speaker 13: Studio and said, the people, the session musicians, listen to
the song once whatever comes to you naturally, let's track
it down and let's just make something fun. And it
turned out quite well, like it's it's a little bit
different to what the direction I kind of have normally
for songs. But again, I think if you tie yourself
to one genre too much, you'll become closed off to
different types of music. Like I started listening to like
rap again, you know, And it's not that I'm a rapper,
but I think music there's so many different genres, but.
Speaker 8: It all says the same thing. It's expression, you know.
So I just said, you know, let's just.
Speaker 13: Make this fun, let's make it different, and you know
it's it's done quite well locally, and like, you know,
all this has happened really in the last year. So
I'm not as happy with it as other songs, but
I can also I'm so lucky that I was open
minded enough to say, let's just go a little bit
of a different route and see what happens.
Speaker 11: Yeah, No, I love it. I think it's a great song.
We're gonna play that for everybody in a moment. Call Fitz.
Thank you so much for joining us today. This has
been wonderful. Oh by the way, are you where are you?
Do you have a show tonight? Are you playing anywhere tonight?
Speaker 13: I'm playing again. It's a kind of local pub and cork.
It's called the hideout. Probably not many Irish listeners here,
but yeah, just my local one of the local pubs
in Cork. I'm very lucky that we're all live in
particular like in Ireland, that there's live music like seven
nights a week in multiple different locations, so there's no
shortage of work. So I just bounced around the different
pubs and small live music venues. Excellent tune, get some
money and go home.
Speaker 11: That's fantastic. That's the way to do it. My friend,

Speaker 6: Say side.
Speaker 11: I love that howling Hank. I can't wait to get
them on the Actually they are booked to be on
the show, I believe maybe next weekend, if I'm not mistaken. Uh,
there's your new music block for this week, and if
you missed any of it, of any of our world premieres,
we will repeat that of course in the second hour
for those of you listening live. Of course, this is
Matt Connorton Unleashed and we are live from the studios
of w and H ninety five point three FM and
Glorious Manchester, New Hampshire. Actually very very cold. I was
not looking forward to getting up this morning. I was
looking forward to Saturday mornings because I get to come
and do the show. But uh, definitely the highlight of
my week. But this morning I was like, ugh, yikes.
But I think I think the cold advisory ends at
ten am, so by that point we'll be through the
worst of it, and then we've got all this snow coming.
We'll see you though, we'll see it might not be
as bad. You know, they tend to they tend to
overpromise and underdeliver. You know, I've noticed it's it's usually
a little bit less than what they're predicting, I think
because they don't want to under predict, and then we
end up getting more, and then everyone's mad at the
meteorologists who tell us what we're getting. So I am
cautiously optimistic that it's not going to be you know,
we're not gonna have like two feet of snow or
anything in this area. I feel the people, I feel,
you know, at least we're prepared for it. The people
I've feel the most badly for our people in the
South who are not prepared for anything like this, this monster, massive,
goliath of a storm, you know, and then they get
ice and they're not certainly not prepared for that. I
was looking at something online last night about how there's
you know, part of the South like Texas and Arkansas,
and you know, they're they're just gonna have a lot
of ice and they are not, you know, they're not
used to that. But here in New Hampshire we kind
of you know, I grew up here and the winters
are definitely easier than not when I was a kid.
And you know, again it's all it's all optimism. It's
probably misplaced. It'll probably be a horrible, horrible storm, and
but I'm trying to put some positive energy out there
and say, yeah, it's not going to be that bad.
And you know, if you've lived here for any length
of time, you know it's winter. We'll deal with it,
we'll handle it, we'll get through it. But at least
the at least the worst part of this cold snap
is going to be over relatively quickly. So and of course,
you know, the show replays during the week, or you
might listen to the podcast version of the show instead
of listening live. And you know, all my predictions and
my caustious optimism may turn out to have been for
not so we'll see. But I'm trying to be trying
to be positive. Don't get me wrong. I'm not looking
forward to it. I'm not a winter guy. I like summer.
I love summer. Actually I'm strange. Not only do I
not mind the heat, I actually like the heat. I
enjoy it. When it's ninety degrees outside, I think, I
think that's just great. Even the humidity doesn't bother me
that much. A dry heats always better. But even I
can handle the humidity, you know.
Speaker 12: But I mean, if it ever.
Speaker 11: Starts to feel too oppressively hot in the summer. I
just I think about winter and how much I don't
like the cold, and then it's like I can deal
with this. You can handle the heat. So I think,
what we're gonna do right now, We're gonna seek one
more track in this hour before we take a break
and show some love to our amazing sponsors here at
WM and H. But I want to play this track
from Rivia, one of my favorite bands that we've had
on the show, and this is the newest single, something
in the Water. I think it's been out for a
couple of months now, but we've played it on the
show a bunch. But I still love this song. I
listen to it now, I still love it as much
as the first time I heard it. So we'll give
this a spin, and then we will take a break
and show some love to our amazing sponsors. When we
come back in the second hour. For those of you
listening live, we're gonna be joined by Dale, the bassist
for the Puncturists. I think he's the only band member
joining us, although I'm not sure, but as a as
a bass player myself, you know, if I have to
choose anybody in the band, I'm gonna choose a fellow
bass player, right, But I love the Puncturists. I listened
to the whole album. It is so so good. So
looking forward to talking with him. And then in the
third hour, Brooklyn Mike is going to be joining us
live in studio. He's going to bring his guitar and
play and we'll talk and always always enjoy hanging out
with Brooklyn Mike. We might even have a surprise. I
won't but I won't say anymore during the third hour
because the mayor may not happen, So I probably shouldn't
even hint at it because without being confident that it's
likely to happen, it's probably unlikely to happen. But we'll see.
But Brooke and Mike will be here. Uh So let's
give this a spin again. This is Rivia something in
the Water and I love this song so much. And
then we will take a quick break and then we'll
be back with our number two new Marrow dose of
Matt Connorton unleashed. There's plenty more to come. Don't go anywhere.
