1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: This is Kelly Henderson and you are listening to at

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: Home on the Velvet Edge podcast. This week, I'm talking

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: to my friend and client, Brandon Lancaster from LANCO. Honestly,

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: Brandon and I probably could have talked forever because we

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: are both so deprived of friend time during this isolation period.

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: I loved his insight on the coronavirus pandemic and just

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: how he and all the guys from LANCO are focusing

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: on the good. He also talked about the parts of

9
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: the creative process of being a musician that he misses

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: most and breaks down each different aspect of why that

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: creativity is so fulfilling. Here's our conversation. Okay, so I

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: just asked you how you were, and you paused for

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: a very long time. What's happening? It's not a very

14
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: long time pause long enough. You know, when people ask

15
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: me how I am, I did that question curiously, So

16
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: I like, I like, you know, if people are like

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: I am the person that a few like, how you doing,

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: and it's like, awful, it's just been a bad day.

19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: But but if you asked me how I'm doing, I

20
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: have to think about it, and I am doing good

21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: under the current circumstances. It's like I think everything is

22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: up for examination. So it's like it's a beautiful day

23
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: out right now, and I'm healthy and safe and so

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: I am good. But I'd spend every uh I spent

25
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: like if I'm on my phone, I'm really spending time

26
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: like I do, read the news a lot and just whatever.

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: And so literally right before I picked up your phone call,

28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: I was on like my seventeenth article about just life

29
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: right now. So that's why you ask how I am.

30
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I just read about like pandemics going

31
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: all the way back to like Europe and like just

32
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: a weird time. So I'm good. Yeah, I'm good. How

33
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: are you well? Thank you for asking. I think that

34
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: is it's a very hard question to answer right now because,

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: like you said, we have a lot sweet grateful for

36
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: us still and I think in some ways this pause

37
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: has made me kind of look at of that stuff

38
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: that I miss on a day to day but weird times, right, Yeah,

39
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: it's very weird. I mean, I mean I think that

40
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, uh, there's definitely a chance right now,

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of the eye of the beholder.

42
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: It's like, uh, you know you definitely it's like this.

43
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: Every time I think about it, I just always go

44
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: back to, like I think in life, everyone we complain

45
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: about so much in our society, I'm too busy, I'm tired,

46
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: I'm there's all these pressures that that really we put

47
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: on ourselves and we don't realize how much we actually

48
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: thrive under those pressures. But really this is a moment

49
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: where all those things have been taken away. And then

50
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of this like reset button that

51
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: you've been given where uh it's like, okay, well now

52
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: like I'm definitely not on this daily grind. It was

53
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: wearing me down for this or that, you know, just

54
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: a little weird problems. Um, And so it definitely is

55
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: you know, you can take advantage of that. Okay, what

56
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: are things that like I actually am really thankful for

57
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: that I twice about before. And then also it's like

58
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: when this is going to be over, it's all craziness

59
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: and it's like what it is, what am I going

60
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: to be thankful for? And how am I going to

61
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: take a better advantage of of time? And blah blah blah.

62
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: And so it's a definitely a weird time, but there's

63
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, I try to be positive about you know, everything,

64
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: but there's you know, it's there's no way that you

65
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: can not you know. I think there's just a lot

66
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: of questions. There's a lot of confusion. That's when you

67
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: ask how I'm doing, It's like, well, I'm I'm fine,

68
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: I'm healthy, I'm good. I have this reset button on

69
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: life and trying to take advante of that. But also

70
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: there's just a lot of questions and confusion. And I

71
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: think that's you know, that's okay, and everyone's going through

72
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 1: that right now and one day at a time. Yeah,

73
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: it's a lot to digest. So how has your your

74
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: day to day changed? I mean what what's what has

75
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: it changed for you guys in Lanko our day to day, Well,

76
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: we don't have a day to day right now. Uh,

77
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: there is I mean just the life that um, the

78
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: life that I've known, even longer than Landcos existed, is

79
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: just you know, everything has always circled around I gotta

80
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: go to this ride, I want to get in the studio,

81
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: I want to play this show. I'm gonna go to

82
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: this show. I'm gonna go hang out with this person. Um,

83
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: it all revolves around you know, being around people and

84
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: around you know, the social aspect of music, um and

85
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: so and just touring. I mean we have been a

86
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: big touring band from from day one. I mean we

87
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: were touring before we even have music out there because

88
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: we didn't have jobs. And we're like, well that's that's

89
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: our job. Now we're gonna make money that way. And

90
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: so our day to day it's you know, we've gone

91
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: two times and not touring. But when we're not touring,

92
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: we will take a few days. But really we're writing,

93
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: we're in the studio. Um, we're doing something. And that

94
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: really is I mean you really are like on employed.

95
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: Uh you like don't have a job. Yeah, and so

96
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: it's uh, you know we've I've been writing, I've done

97
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: a few like zoom rights, um. But you know it's interesting.

98
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: Uh And luckily, you know, as a creative, it's like

99
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: I you don't need you know, you can just be.

100
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean, this whole thing starts whatever age you arc

101
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: you're creative, it started because at some point you were

102
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: bored at home and decided to give your creativity an outlet,

103
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 1: whether it be to a canvas or an instrument or whatever.

104
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: And so I definitely know, I've been just playing guitar

105
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: and writing and doing I know all the guys have

106
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: been doing that, and I've been doing that stuff, but

107
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: really the day to day is like just it's not

108
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: really there's not a lot of land code day to day.

109
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: There's like it's really it's funny. You you know, I've

110
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: been touring. We've been touring for years, and you're like,

111
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't know about other touring musicians, but most people

112
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: I talk to you don't mow your own graphs. You

113
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: literally can't like you get time to do your lawn.

114
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: And now I'm like literally pulling out my lawnmower. I'm like, okay,

115
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna mow the grass and being like, oh my gosh,

116
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: I've am doing like I'm not good at this. It's

117
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: like crooking and look bad. And it's like other people

118
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: have been like mastering life skills that I have not

119
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: been paying attention to for like six years, and I'm

120
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: feeling ridiculous about it. But you know, there's what it is. Well,

121
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: so you're learning some life skills. That's a positive. Um

122
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: I did. I thought this was really interesting. You know,

123
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to a bunch of the younger artists,

124
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: because you mentioned that there's so much pushing, especially at

125
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: the beginning of any sort of music career, right like,

126
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: you're hustling, you're trying to get your name out there.

127
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: You really want to make a name for yourself, and

128
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: you also have to support your crew. So I wondered, like,

129
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, maybe some of the more established artists might

130
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: not have this fear as much, but have you had

131
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: any fear come up of that break and connection or

132
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: how this is going to affect to you guys a

133
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: long term and like are you going to be able

134
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: to keep things alive? Yeah? That I mean, so we UM.

135
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: You know, we spent the first half of this year,

136
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the winter months really out with

137
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: Miranda Lambert and UM and we were doing that and

138
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: then we were going back and forth. We also were

139
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: doing headlining dates. And literally the weekend that this all

140
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: everything started getting canceled and postponed was like, I mean,

141
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: we had a sold out weekend in Chicago and Minneapolis

142
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: and Green Bay, and we played a show in Green

143
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: Bay and I was in the bus and was in

144
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: my bunk and I woke up and could hear our

145
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: tour managers saying, you guys want to eleven o'clock or

146
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: the one o'clock fight. And I immediately knew what that meant.

147
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: I I got on my bunk and walked out. I

148
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: was like, we're going home, aren't we? And um, you

149
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: know we had and and I'm saying that to say.

150
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: I got on plane and the second I got in Nashville,

151
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: second I landed, I was on the phone with our

152
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: management and business management saying what does this means? Because

153
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: you do have a you have an operating budget. You know,

154
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: you pay, you pay for things, You pay for your lights,

155
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: you pay for your all your sound equipment, you pay

156
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: for your busses, you pay for all that stuff, and

157
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: you lease all that stuff. And when there's no income

158
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: coming in, what does that mean? We have money in

159
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: the bank, But how much do we have to be

160
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: paying all those leases and then also paying paying your salaries,

161
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: paying the people that work for you? Like how long

162
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: till that runs out? And I think that it is

163
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: across the board. Um, I think even bigger artists, instead

164
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: of one bus lease or two bus lease, you have

165
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: fifteen bus leases. You know there's still and it's like

166
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: how much money? How much can you operate before that

167
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: starts going away and you still are paying people and

168
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: so it but um, I think that one thing that

169
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: we're still at a level where we have enough people

170
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: that and we try to keep our costs that it

171
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: seemed like we would be able to maintain for a while. Um.

172
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: But that that to answer, that was my first Literally

173
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: the day that's all happened, I was saying, what's gonna

174
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: happen to the crew, what's gonna happen? You know we

175
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: have a sound guy, a white guy, a tour manager,

176
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: a mono engineer, media guy, you know, and so um,

177
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: that definitely, I mean that was immediately the fear because

178
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: it's like you especially the way it works too. I

179
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: don't know if people know this, but it's like for

180
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: us a lot man for like artists at our level,

181
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: we can go sellout venues and we open from Mariana Lambert,

182
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: but you make a lot of your money doing these

183
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: festivals and things that are coming up right now, and

184
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: when that's taken away from you, that's your that's definitely

185
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: your fears, like, Okay, we budgeted for this. Now if

186
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: that's gone, what does it mean? But you know it's

187
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: luckily there's been a lot of um really cool you know,

188
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: a t M Music Cares and the Recording Academy and

189
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: Awfrey Trust. There's been all these music working station that

190
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: have stepped in and help people like us, um providing

191
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: grants and providing those things, and so we've been trying

192
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: to take advantage of those. And but it definitely is

193
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: you know, you're running a small business and when your

194
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: income has taken away, it definitely you're just glad that

195
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: we have really good management and business banagement that has

196
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: made sure we haven't been spending all our money on

197
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: a well, right, because that is the other thing. Is

198
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: this all happened so quickly, and like you said, the

199
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: questions remain like when is touring going to go back

200
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: to normal? When is life going to go back to normal? Yeah? Yeah,

201
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: And and you know what's weird too as a musician

202
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: is just because restaurants start opening back up, or banks

203
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: or whatever, just because life starts turning around, doesn't necessarily

204
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: mean that they're going to be putting ten thousand people

205
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: in a room. That might you know, we we just

206
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: don't know, we have this thing could really start flattening

207
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: out and it could just start to um kind of

208
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: dizzle out until there is you know, a vaccine and

209
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: more testing provided and stuff like that. Um, but everything

210
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: is every time I talk to anyone on our team,

211
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: we just kind of talking circles because at the end

212
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: of the day, it's like, well question Mark Wills and

213
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: literally every day it's like new news. It's like this

214
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: is going well, this like there's actually this you know,

215
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: it's it's the craziest, craziest thing. I mean, it really

216
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: is a historic event that we're living through. And um,

217
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: there is an aspect where it's like, you know, no

218
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: matter what the path it takes, I do know that

219
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: a year from today this will be over, um, and

220
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: we have more resources and or more equipped than times

221
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: when this has happened before in human history. And even

222
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: then within a year it is you know, so you know, okay,

223
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: years from now, maybe six months from now, you know,

224
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, there is gonna be another end of it.

225
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: And so in the meantime, it's just day by day. UM,

226
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: as a business owner trying to just maintained and and

227
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: she would happened. Yeah, Well, so you are a part

228
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: of a band, obviously, I know a lot of artists

229
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: have been doing you know, the Instagram lives and just performances.

230
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: Have you guys done anything. I mean, I'm assuming y'all

231
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: are isolating separately, right yeah? Yeah? We um, I mean yeah,

232
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: even from we've been you know, isolating from each other

233
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: because it's like we're all on the road and um,

234
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: some of the wives still have work because like like

235
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: trips wives in the medical field, right and and so there.

236
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: But it's still is like okay, if your wife is

237
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: going out or if even if it's Jiffy and I

238
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store and then we come back

239
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: and then we hang out with everyone in the band

240
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: and all the wives and it's like, okay, you just

241
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: went from two people to tend people, you know, exposing that.

242
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, we've been isolating from each other even and uh,

243
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: I've been doing you know, I've done some live stream

244
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: stuff to the Whiskey Jam thing, and we're gonna keep

245
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: trying to do that. But yeah, it's it's very It's

246
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: it's tough as a band because it's like, you know what,

247
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: getting all five of us to do something that that

248
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: sounds good musically is uh is is a task for sure?

249
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: Have you missed that connection with the fans? Every weekend. Yeah, definitely,

250
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's you know, I think that's a that's

251
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: actually been something I've been talking with people on our

252
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: team about, even guys in the band. I think that's

253
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: one thing that that's hard is you know, and I

254
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: know that everyone has different personalities about it. There's no

255
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: right or wrong, but you know, a lot of what

256
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: we do, you do it. You do it because you

257
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: love it, and you're convicting about it, you're passionate about it.

258
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: But the end game is to go out there and

259
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: connect with the other people around what you've done. You know,

260
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: It's like it whether it's social media or songs you're

261
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: writing or anything you're doing, the point is so that

262
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: you're keeping that connection a wide so that you can

263
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: go out and do the connection in person. And and

264
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: that definitely, like I said, I mean, we've started as

265
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: like a live touring band, and so that's I mean,

266
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: that's been the biggest thing is is even you know,

267
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: I posted h I posted just a clip of all

268
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: of us in the band just saying what we were

269
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: up to. And I didn't like tell the guys what

270
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: to say. I was just like, hey, this is a

271
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: good little video shout out. You just say whatever you want,

272
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: what you're up to, what you're missing. Just it's just

273
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: you don't say anything. You could just be sitting there

274
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: on st You just send me some kind of video

275
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: so I can post them all on Instagram. And every

276
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: single guy, the main thing they said was we missed

277
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: playing shows. We missed um And I think it's you

278
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: can just see do all of our individual videos, all

279
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: of our individual headspace is, man, we want to get

280
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: back out and play shows. That's like all we've known.

281
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: And another gratitude. Think it's like, man, you it really is.

282
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: You're really fortunate that you have a job. It it's

283
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: only been you know, a couple of months or a

284
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: month and a half, and you are missing your job

285
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: that badly because it's more than the job. It's that connectivity. Absolutely.

286
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, a lot of people don't have that luxury

287
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: and just missing you know, and this might be nice

288
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: for some people do not have to go to work.

289
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: So that's an amazing luxury. You mentioned isolating at home

290
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: with the wives. I think it's so fascinating. All of

291
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: you guys are married or I guess one is engaged.

292
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: Y'all are all very young. What is this is this

293
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: like some new wave of romance and country music. I don't,

294
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. Um, I I don't know. Yeah we yeah,

295
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: four out of five married ones engaged, and I don't know.

296
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think everyone's story is different. You know.

297
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: It's like Trip and Alley, they were like high school

298
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: sweethearts and the Tiftany and I met in college. Um,

299
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: like my first year, like I was like nineteen, I think, um,

300
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: and then you know the other, but you know every one,

301
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know. I I it is a

302
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: thing where it's like you're just you know, you're in

303
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: a band and you tour the world. You can do

304
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: all these cool things, but you also are a person

305
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: aside from that you're being and it's you know, I

306
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: think that we're it's you know, we fall in love.

307
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: We want uh, you know, relationship. We and when I

308
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: think when you come off the road too, it's like

309
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: all you do is hang out with people and like

310
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: drinking with your buddies. When you come home, you want

311
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: that once again, connectivity, a different kind of connectivity. You

312
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: want that relationship. You want that, you want that the

313
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: craziness that is your touring life. You want kind of

314
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: that piece at home, and so it's not that it's

315
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: not to me. If people are like, you know, getting

316
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: married up and they're like young musicians, it makes sense

317
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: to you know, obviously I did it, but I understand

318
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: it because it's like, man, it's it's a crazy world

319
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: out there, and when you come home, you absolutely kind

320
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: of want this rock to be able to know that

321
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: your foundation is on and but uh, yeah I can.

322
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: It is funny. I we've talked about that. I'm like, man,

323
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: I feel like this generation of artists, um are all

324
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: and maybe it's just more exposed than we've seen before

325
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: because of social media. But I feel like a lot

326
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: of artists are definitely like that, getting married and and

327
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: and all this stuff that you know early in their

328
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: careers and at a young age. But um, I also think,

329
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: I honestly think technology helps with that. I think that

330
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, if it's just twenty thirty years ago and

331
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: your tour and then you don't see somebody and you

332
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: have to get on a path on to talk to

333
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: him once a week, I think that's harder than you know.

334
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: I can FaceTime my wife whenever we chext, we talk,

335
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: we she can jump on a plane Southwest and fly

336
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: out through a date and jump on the bus for

337
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: three days. There's just a lot of ways to stay connected. Um.

338
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know that makes sense. It's just interesting.

339
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: I've never I think this is a new wave and um,

340
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: it's it's happening all over the place. I thought it

341
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: was so fascinating. When I first met you guys that

342
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: all were all married, I was like, okay, okay, um okay,

343
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: So the new single is what I see. So we

344
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: just worked on the video, which I loved by the

345
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: way it just came out of you guys are looking

346
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: for something to watch during your quarantining. Um, you're super

347
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: involved in all the concepts of y'all's videos, So talk

348
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: me through, Like why is this visual storytelling piece so

349
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: important to you? Yeah, you know, I think probably because

350
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: I also and involved in writing all the songs. Um.

351
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: And like, you know, going back to what I was

352
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: saying earlier, like this, you know, everything that I do

353
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: is a create it's an outlet. It's a creative outlet.

354
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: It's not just something you're doing the past time. It's

355
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: not like, oh I gotta write a song because we

356
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: got a record. You like, I like it really is

357
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: like I really believe in what we do in the

358
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: songs that I'm writing, and I can be pretty picky

359
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: about even in a right like dude, that's a really

360
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: cool line, but I would just never say that or like, oh,

361
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: that's just not an idea that I want to convey

362
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: that way. And so when you're starting with a song

363
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: and a lyric that intensely about like how you're gonna

364
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 1: the lyric you're gonna put out there, and then you

365
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: go in the studio and the whole band we're all

366
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: like that. Musically, it's like, all right, I need to

367
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: have this kind of energy, it needs to feel this way,

368
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: it needs to take you on this journey musically. When

369
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: you do that in the studio, see of the songs,

370
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: the lyrics, the melody, now the production and the instruments,

371
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: it's a thing where Okay, we've told this story musically

372
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: and lyrically and through a melody in all these different ways.

373
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: Then if you're gonna put a visual representation, it's like, okay,

374
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: what is the visual to the what we've been working

375
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: so hard to convey through the song. And so that's

376
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: something that I definitely and I've always loved film and

377
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: I've loved visual storytelling. Um and so I just to me,

378
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: it's just a bonus of Okay, you write the song,

379
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: you record the song, you play the song. Now we

380
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: get to actually port of visual representation to what the

381
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: song is. And it's a lot of collaborations. To you,

382
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: I mean I talked to you know. The way it works.

383
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: We get the music videos, you get a bunch of

384
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: treatments from different directors, and um, for me, you know,

385
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: it's it's uh and they're usually all really good and

386
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: cool and there's a lot of great stuff in there.

387
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: But I'll you know, talk to a director and kind

388
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: of just see creatively if we want, if if we

389
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: both are wanting to portray it the same way, or

390
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: what ideas were open to and kind of just brainstorm it. Um.

391
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: And because I mean it's I don't know that's that

392
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: that part is fun for me, you know. I I've

393
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: talked to artists that don't like that part at all.

394
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: She's like, show up to the video, get out. Um.

395
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: But I got into this whole thing because I'm a

396
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: storyteller and I love telling stories. Do whatever means possible,

397
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: and so a music video is just another way to

398
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: tell that story that you started way before when you

399
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: were writing it. You mentioned that you do a lot

400
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: of the songwriting as well, and then you're also the

401
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: lead singer to say the out of the performance is

402
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: heavy on YouTube. Is there one part of the whole

403
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: process that's your favorite, Like, could you pick a favorite

404
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: part of this process? Mhm, A favorite part of the process,

405
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: Um Man, I don't. I don't know. I I have

406
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: no I don't know if I could, because I really

407
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: it's funny because every time that there is a process

408
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: that starts with literally an acousta guitar and a lyric

409
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: or an idea, And when you ship with an acousta

410
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: guitar or a piano or whatever it is, and you

411
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: just have an idea, you thought of something that day

412
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: or someone said something funny just now, um like, even

413
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,479
Speaker 1: what I see. What I see came from literally us

414
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: being at this little dive mar and we were just

415
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: thinking it was awesome and we were on the road

416
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: and my brother literally goes like, we're just bragging on

417
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: how awesome this place was. Man, we could move here.

418
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: This is just like man, like, just get away from

419
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: it all, you know, And my brother goes, man, I

420
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: wish sometimes I could see what y'all see, because we

421
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: like make the best of wherever we're at, and so

422
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: you have you're like, man, that's kind of cool how

423
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: everyone sees things differently depending on your perspective or how

424
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: you grew up or whatever it is. That was just

425
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: an idea and to sit down with a crusy guitars

426
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: and turn that into an entire journey and song. At

427
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: the end of that, you're definitely going, Okay, this is

428
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: the best thing in the world, Like, this is so cool.

429
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: But but then when you get in the studio and

430
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: you hear go from a crusy guitars and just this

431
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: song to this whole production that just you know, just

432
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: gives you chill bumps, then it's like, Okay, this is unbeatable,

433
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: Like this is the coolest thing. And then when you

434
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: get to go on a stage and hear people sing

435
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: it back and be like this work, Like people believe

436
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: in this the same that we do. And there are

437
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: you know, because that you do wonder As an artist.

438
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: I think that there's different processes, but the touring part

439
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: is always that I don't want to say validation, but

440
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: it kind of is because it's just all this stuff

441
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: is in your head. It's just in your head, like

442
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: this is a good idea, it's just and then you

443
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: record it. But when you go out live and you

444
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: say you play a festival and there's fifteen thousand people

445
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: singing along and dancing and having fun, it does make

446
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: you realize that you're not alone in this world. But

447
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: the things that you're feeling are the things that you

448
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: went through. There are literally millions of people out there

449
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: that are like you and have gone through those things,

450
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: and you are giving them a voice to your songs.

451
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: And that is a feeling that it's like, it's just

452
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: it brings a lot of unity and it just that

453
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: is a feeling that has been the most surprising feeling

454
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: because you dream of that stuff when you're a kid

455
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: and when you're pursuing music, but when it actually happens

456
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: and you realize that it's not just about being on stage,

457
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: it's not just about being famous or this or that.

458
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: It's about these people believe in you and you believe

459
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: in them, and it's a really cool exchange. Has been

460
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: at least the most surprising part of this whole process.

461
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: It's that connectivity you mentioned earlier. Yeah, well, I know

462
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: that I'm looking forward to seeing you guys back on

463
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: the road. Have y' all talked at all about what

464
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: you know? Is there anything you could tell the fans

465
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: right now that they could look forward to once all

466
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: of this stuff has passed, our isolation is over. Yeah,

467
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I just know. I I almost like protect

468
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: myself from thinking about it, because when this is over,

469
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: when we go back on the road, I mean we've

470
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: always been you know about like let's give everything we've

471
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: got out there, like matter how tired you are, whatever

472
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: it is, like, you know, this is this is the

473
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: show of a lifetime. This could be someone's first time

474
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: seeing you, see someone's last time seen you, you you know,

475
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: like given everything you got out there. But man, those uh,

476
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: I don't think those words you've ever been empty. But

477
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,239
Speaker 1: if they ever mean more than they ever did, it's

478
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: gonna be when this is all over. And I think music,

479
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the most special thing

480
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: about music above other forms of entertainment is that music

481
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: really is an outlet and it goes back that connectivity.

482
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: And I think that we all need an outlet at

483
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: when this is all over, you know, And I think

484
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: then we we just can't wait to go out there

485
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: and beat that outlet for people because once again we're

486
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: all on the same page with this that connectivity. It's

487
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: like we are we need this as bad as you do.

488
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: And so when we get back on stage and start

489
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: playing shows, um, it's gonna be awesome. And in the

490
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: meantime also, I mean, we are working on new music

491
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: and so it's definitely there's gonna be new music being

492
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: released throughout the year, and so people while they're quarantine

493
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 1: can be looking for that and then listen to it,

494
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: get the lyrics down, and come out and sing it

495
