Because it's 61 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: it's that old rock and roll thing, you know, where 62 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: whereby you never see the star and you're just in 63 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: a separate It seems different in country music, is that right? 64 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: Man? We're you know, I think that, you know, And 65 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: a lot of. 66 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 3: That is the artists that have come before us that 67 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 3: have taken us out, and probably artists that have taken 68 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 3: Luke out. 69 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: You know. 70 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 3: It was always I thought it would be that way. 71 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 3: It was like, you know, as an opener, it was 72 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 3: kind of like, well, I'm just gonna go out and 73 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,119 Speaker 3: play the show, stay out of the headliner's. 74 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 2: Way, you know. 75 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 3: But with Luke, it's you know, I feel like I 76 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 3: saw him every day when we're out torn together. I 77 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 3: bump in his green room for probably two three hours 78 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: watch football with him, you know, just catch up, hangout. 79 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: So and that wasn't just me, that was Mitchell. 80 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 3: Timpenny, Kobe, a Cuff, you know a lot of the 81 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 3: other artists that were on that tour. It's an open 82 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 3: door policy, man, And uh, it makes it makes touring 83 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 3: more fun. It makes the road a little bit easier 84 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 3: when when you truly are out there with good people 85 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: and everybody's kind of looking after everybody you reckon. 86 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: That's part of the explosion and popularity of country music 87 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: in that sense. I mean, this seems to be a 88 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: genuine community and camaraderie among most people. 89 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: Man. 90 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 3: I sure hope. So, you know, Mike Coman ever even 91 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: thought about that. I hope that is is one reason 92 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 3: why it feels like country is gaining is bigger now 93 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 3: than it's ever been. You know. 94 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: I think you hear people talk about that. 95 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: On on award shows or interviews and say like, yeah, 96 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: he's a buddy. 97 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 2: Uh And maybe a lot of people take. 98 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 3: That as like, oh, they probably see each other and 99 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 3: like you know, say hello at shows. 100 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: Or at festivals or whatever. But it's actually it really is. 101 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: You know, we all root for everybody, and I know 102 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: roots for me. I root for him. 103 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: But you know, there's numbers in my phone Dirk's old 104 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 3: dominion guys Jacohen that I truly could call right now 105 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,239 Speaker 3: and they would answer the phone and it's not like odd, 106 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: are weird? 107 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 2: It's just like, hey, what's up man? You know? And 108 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: I think that is. I think that's one of the 109 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: reason why Country Country. 110 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 3: Is doing what it what what you know, what it's 111 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 3: doing right now is because we really do all like 112 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 3: each other. 113 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: Now, now, tell us about your story, because are you 114 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: another one of these? I moved to Nashville.

I mean that 117 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: can be presumably a real thing. 118 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, you know, it's definitely not as easy as that, 119 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 3: you know. I moved in twenty twelve after graduating from school, 120 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 3: and you know, never dreamed to be the artist or 121 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 3: touring or playing shows. 122 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: My dream when I moved was to write songs. I wanted. 123 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 3: I wanted other artists to cut my songs and hopefully 124 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 3: one day hear some songs on the radio. I come 125 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 3: from a family of songwriter, so my uncle, you know, 126 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: found his way in Nashville that way. 127 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 2: So I kind of thought that I would just kind 128 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 2: of follow a suit. 129 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 3: And it wasn't until kind of out of out of desperation, 130 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 3: you know, things weren't going my way in Nashville.

But it was that 176 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: first show back from probably taking a year off of 177 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 3: not playing a show, and I remember almost not even 178 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 3: playing it that night because I was like, man, I 179 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 3: don't know how this song is going to react. 180 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 2: It's new, you know, we don't we've never played it live. 181 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 3: We were playing this big beach festival in Carolina, and 182 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 3: when we started it, I mean, it was just immediate singback, 183 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: and that's when I would say, oh, man, this one, 184 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 3: this one feels differ. And then I just thought, well, 185 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 3: you know, these people haven't been to a show in 186 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: a year. Maybe it was just like a lucky night, 187 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 3: you know. And then I started seeing, you know, it 188 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 3: was that it was that way every night, and that 189 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 3: was when I really felt a shift in my career 190 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 3: as far as people listening to my music and showing 191 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 3: up the shows. And we've really just been kind of 192 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 3: kind of riding that wave ever since we released By Dirt. 193 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: And being a writer, you know, coming from a family 194 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: of writers, did you know what you had there? Or 195 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: did that surprise you? 196 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 3: No, not a clue, you know, I would say both 197 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: of my my big songs, even next thing. You know, 198 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 3: when we finished them, I didn't think anything of it. 199 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 3: You know, I was proud of it. And I tell 200 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 3: this story too. 201 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: You know. 202 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 3: I wrote by Dirt with my brother and two of 203 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 3: my best friends, Josh and Matt Jenkinson. When we finished 204 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 3: that song, Josh said, Hey, I don't know what's going 205 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 3: to happen with this, if you're going to record it 206 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 3: or if somebody else is going to cut it, But 207 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 3: I'm really proud of the song we wrote today. 208 00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 2: And I think that's how we kind of left. 209 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 3: We were just like, you know, this is what we 210 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 3: this is what we moved to town to do, to 211 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 3: write songs like this that mean a lot to us 212 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 3: and then kind of let the chips fall where they 213 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 3: may if it ever gets released. And so no, I'm 214 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 3: I'll say this, I am so bad at picking songs 215 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 3: that are so called hits. 216 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 2: I have no clue. 217 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 3: I know how to write them as hard as I can, 218 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 3: and then after that I leave those to to people, 219 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 3: the people that know how to pick a good song. 220 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: So what have we got a couple of albums?
