I still am, right, Yeah, I'm 77 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: into everything. But then was your dad that introduced you 78 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: to a whole other world. I mean soon we introduced 79 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: you to lick. 80 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. Like when I was fourteen years old, I was 81 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 2: really into like punk rock and UK punk rock and 82 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: things of that nature and thrash grind core. 83 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 5: You know. 84 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: I was an angsty kid and my dad came into 85 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 2: my room one day and U he goes, Son, I 86 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 2: have no idea why all these people are so mad, 87 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: because it's a very angst driven and what have you. 88 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: And he gave me a tape and I didn't really 89 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: think anything about it, and I threw it off into 90 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: the corner. And a couple of weeks later, I was 91 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 2: rummaging through my room and I found it and I 92 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: put it in and it was a guy named Otis Redding, 93 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 2: and so Otis Redding got me the al Green, which 94 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 2: got me to Percy Sledge, Sam Cook, Marvin Gaye. Marvin 95 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 2: Gaye got me to Nina Simone, el Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday. 96 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: So he opened up this whole world of motown and 97 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: R and B and rhythm and blues and so and 98 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 2: Zach's from Memphis, so I mean, he knows all about it. 99 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: So this is what got you into music? 100 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: I mean yeah to a point. I mean I think 101 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: me and Zach at birth knew what we wanted to do. 102 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: We haven't, you know, we don't have a plan. B Yeah, 103 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: this is this is it. 104 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: This is it? So Zach, what was what was it 105 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: that like buttered your biscuit When it comes to music, 106 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: blues first, Like. 107 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, blues was the big thing. Being from Memphis too, 108 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 3: It's easy, right, that's like the thing. And then I 109 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,799 Speaker 3: got into again otis reading soul singers like that. Youtwo 110 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 3: is probably my favorite band of all time. So, you know, 111 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: getting into songwriting was the big thing for me. So 112 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: because blues music is like there's not a lot of 113 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 3: fantastic songwriting. There's a couple of great blue songs, but 114 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 3: there's not a ton of like great songs. So when 115 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 3: I got into when I got into songwriting. 116 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: Was you two probably is really, do you guys get 117 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: the feeling that being from the South brings up more 118 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: honesty when it comes to storytelling through music. I don't know, 119 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: because Froggy, who's not with us now, he's he's a 120 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: program director of a country station in Jacksonville doing very 121 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: well the country at Florida. Absolutely okay, the country music, 122 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: the music, the artists they meet in their format, Yeah, 123 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: they always come across as just so authentic and your 124 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: music that is people they describe Shinda as being authentic 125 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: from the heart, like just unaddited, just for the lost tuff. 126 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 3: I think that's what I think, that's our mo I 127 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 3: think that you know, we always say you can full 128 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 3: some of the people some of the time. 129 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: You can't fool all the people all the time. So like, 130 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: why not. 131 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: When we go on to write a song, our basic 132 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: plays a great way of putting these like you know, 133 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 3: he's like, sometimes I wish we did. He's like, but 134 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 3: we don't have a Jack and Die in Like we didn't. 135 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 3: We write songs about kind of what we're going through, right, 136 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 3: you know what I mean at that time, And I 137 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 3: think that's a great way. 138 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: To put it. 139 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 4: I was reading that you don't go into the studio 140 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 4: because of trends and stuff like that. You go into 141 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 4: the studio when you have something to say. 142 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you can't walk intough it. I mean, 143 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: at least for us, we've never walked into an environment 144 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 2: where we're writing a song or putting a record together 145 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: and doing it because we want to be famous. We're 146 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: doing it because we have something to say. And on 147 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 2: the days that you don't have something to say, don't 148 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 2: go to the studio. 149 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: Maybe we should we should do that here. You mean 150 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: you're saying we should, we should like what. 151 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: We do, I'll tell you what like, Well, you know, 152 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 2: we can do a residency here. In fact, we'll come 153 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 2: in whenever you guys and girls don't. 154 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: Want to do so, Yeah, we'll try and figure out 155 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: the board, you know, and we'll take it from there. 156 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 6: So the new music, does it have a new sound 157 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 6: or are we sticking to sort of the classic shine down? 158 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 2: We don't necessarily have. We don't ever put handcuffs on us. 159 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: And in regards to that. 160 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 3: We call it a no lane highway. So you just 161 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 3: kind of go wherever you want and wherever it takes us. 162 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 3: And yeah, we don't you know, to me, a good 163 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 3: song is a good song is a good song. The 164 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 3: genre doesn't matter. A good song is going to hit you. 165 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what kind of music you like. So 166 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 3: I don't you know, I don't know. I don't think 167 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 3: we're going to make like a traditional poker record or anything. 168 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: But well, you know, we also have to. 169 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: You got to understand something too. For us, the way 170 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 2: that we see it is, I mean, especially now, the 171 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 2: evolution of people being so open minded in regards to 172 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: not looking at for me necessarily like, it doesn't matter 173 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 2: if it's metal music, country music, pop music, rap music, 174 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: rock music. You know, it should be about all music 175 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 2: if you have a message, and that's always a primary 176 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: thing with us, but you should be able to evolve 177 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 2: as an artist. We're lucky our fan base has always 178 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 2: allowed us to be ourselves. So and for us, we 179 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: have one boss in this band and it just happens 180 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 2: to be everybody in the audience. But I love where 181 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 2: music is going now and how open minded people are. 182 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: I mean, we're a prime example of that crossing. You know. 183 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 2: Back with Second Chance, we cross five formats. We're in 184 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 2: the middle of crossing you know, five different formats right now. 185 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: With a symptom of being human.

We're watching you sing, and I don't 244 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: think you opened your eyes at all. Does he perform 245 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: with eyes closed? He'll open him up sometimes. Most of 246 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: the time he has his eyes closed. I think he's praying. 247 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 3: Most of the time, I thought he was just feeling 248 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 3: the music. He's also thinking about not sweating. 249 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: There's that. 250 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 3: I think he doesn't just sweat when he walks around. 251 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 3: But for some reason, our joke is when he starts 252 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 3: to think about singing, just the sweatiest person. 253 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, what is it anxiety or is it just excitement? 254 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 2: I'll tell you straight up, like I tell people that 255 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 2: the key to success, you know, is to never arrive. 256 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 2: There's always another level, there's always another gear. And uh, 257 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: it's the same thing with nerves. Like people ask me 258 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: if I get nervous before I perform, and I'm like absolutely. 259 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if it's five people or if we're 260 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 2: in front of five hundred thousand, because we've done both. 261 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 2: But it lets me know I'm alive, Like it lets 262 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 2: me know that I care. Like i'd be more nervous 263 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 2: if I wasn't nervous, but I close my eyes just 264 00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 2: because I get lost in the song. 265 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: Okay, well that's good.

I 377 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 3: don't I can't think of another song they're gonna play. 378 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 3: And also like I definitely I think I understood it 379 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 3: more back in the day, like I got it and 380 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 3: we used to do them. 381 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, not to say that we wouldn't do it in 382 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 2: the future, just we haven't done it for years. 383 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 3: It just seems I don't know, and I'm not. This 384 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 3: isn't me knocking on anybody else to us to what 385 00:15:59,400 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 3: we do. 386 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: It feels. I guess I would say disingenuous. 387 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 2: To like, Yeah, if Billy Joel wants to do it, 388 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 2: he deserves to do it. If like Bruce Springsteen wants 389 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 2: to do it, go for it. We're gonna wants to 390 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 2: do it, go for it. But we're just gonna be 391 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 2: sitting off on the side of it. We're sitting off 392 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 2: on the side of stage. You can and if you're 393 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 2: an arena you can look at it. 394 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 3: We're right there, like you can see us, like they're 395 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 3: probably gonna come back up.

By the time our show's done, it's like, 398 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 3: what are they going to come back and play? 399 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: There's the answer. 400 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 6: I wanted to circle back to one thing that you 401 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 6: said about being on the road next to him. I'm 402 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 6: asking Zach about Brin. Why don't you want to be 403 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 6: in a hotel room next to him? Is it because 404 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 6: he sings or because he's smashing? 405 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 3: No, he doesn't do it. He's very he's very like 406 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 3: docile in his hotel room. But when he he's on 407 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 3: the phone a lot like he does a lot of 408 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 3: our business stuff. And his again, what you said, his 409 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 3: singing voice is his talking voice. So if I'm in, 410 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 3: if I'm in twelve oh eight and he's in twelve 411 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 3: forty eight, I can still hear him. 412 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 6: I love that hype that that's not. 413 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 3: Travel agent Kathy knows.
