14
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: I've ventured into country a little bit. But the country

15
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 2: even has like a spin to it because country now

16
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: actually really has grown as a genre too. It's just

17
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: it's a it's a great live show, it's a great band.

Speaker 2: It is It's just I don't know, it's most of

19
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: my original music is their stories for my life, So

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: it's all, you know, anything that I choose to do it,

21
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: it's stuff that I can jump into.

22
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: Gotta be a fun night and a show with a

23
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: purpose too. I like you're known for your songwriting and

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: obviously you put your heart and soul into this stuff.

25
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: I imagine this is your first time at the Cut because

26
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: it's a fairly new venue in this neck of the woods.

27
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean I've been in Boston before and like

28
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: in that area when I was opening for Greg Allman.

29
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: You know, the few times that I've come through Boston

30
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: it's been an awesome and through Massachusetts it's been amazing.

31
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: But it's not an area that I get to all

32
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: the time, but the few times that I've gone, it's

33
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: always been memorable and awesome.

34
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: Yeah.

42
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: I don't know why you'd do that yet.

43
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's uh, Raychel, what do you remember about

44

Speaker 1: those Boston crowds? Have you always enjoyed your time here?

45
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean traveling or opening up for somebody like

46
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: Greg Olman. He's just got a built in great crowd,

47
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 2: so they were you know, it was just great. I

48
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: mean I had a great time. So it was awesome.

49
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: I mean it was you know, it was kind of

50
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: built in greatness traveling with them, but it was, you know,

51
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 2: we had a good We had a really good time.

52
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: I never I didn't have a bad audience. I had

53
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 2: no bad experience.

54
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's always.

55
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: And I did a like some kind of like it

56
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: was a festival through a promoted ra Chris Silva, and

57
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: that was also with Les Zeppelin, and that was outside

58
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: and that was also a great audience. So I gotta say,

59
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: you know, every show that I can remember, it was

60
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: a good audience.

61
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fantastic. Greg Almonds one of my favorites, and

62
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: obviously may he rest in peace, but can you tell

63
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: me a little memory from him? So few people get

64
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: to tour on the road with great like that.

65
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: The tour manager pulled me aside to tell me that

66
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: he drove him to see me performed and that he

67
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: was a fan, and so he said he want to

68
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: meet him. I was like, oh, and he was shy,

69
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: like we were like in the hall and he was

70
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: just playing with this little ponytail in the back, and

71
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: I was nervous, and I felt like he was nervous,

72
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: and he just was, you know, said he liked the

73
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: CD was my first CD, Small White Town, and I

74
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: think we were both just nervous and which made him

75
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: seem incredibly human. And every night that he went out,

76
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: I felt like him and Robert Cray in particular, they

77
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: just went out and they were flawless every night and

78
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: their performances. You know, in the beginning, I was like,

79
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: you're making me go out with these old people in

80
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: this bit, and I learned more from Robert Cray, Greg Alman.

81
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: I once opened for Amy Man and the performers that

82
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: had really been around, and like those two, it just

83
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: came out and it was extraordinary, Like it was like

84
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: nothing we'd ever seen. And my band never would stay

85
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: at the side of the stage to watch very few people,

86
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: but with those two, we just stood there and we

87
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: were just our mouths dropped because it was just a

88
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 2: whole other level. It is not you know kids today

89
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: I want to say, Okay, it's great, and they stick

90
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: their legs up and they dance. It's just it was

91
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 2: a whole other level of mastery that I think, you know,

92
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: I hope we don't lose that type of you know,

93
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: artistry or that level you know, you know, it would

94
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: be a shame.

95
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,479
