Speaker 4: freaking out a little bit.
Speaker 3: We got kolbe kalay.
Speaker 1: I have to be honest, out of all the people
Speaker 1: we've had on here, this is the most intimidated I've.
Speaker 4: Been, really, because you can tell. I can tell you're
Speaker 4: because you walked in little.
Speaker 1: Nervous because we know, like we know the majority of
Speaker 1: the people we've had on here and they're just old,
Speaker 1: gross dudes. You were by far, not that I'm not
Speaker 1: at all. And relief, So I'm I'm excited to have here.
Speaker 5: Than you guys. I told you, guys, I watched your
Speaker 5: I watched your show, and I was like, can't we
Speaker 5: to go hang out with them. They seem so cool.
Speaker 5: I can't believe I haven't met you around town either.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've been here a minute, right.
Speaker 5: Like seven years, and I've seen you in the fire hall.
Speaker 1: What it's Sony. I've seen you at Sony before.
Speaker 5: Oh really? But I was like, you didn't say hi.
Speaker 3: No, I could say to look on nervy, nervously wasn't
Speaker 3: barely said hi when you walk.
Speaker 5: Shaking definitely jittery too, just had cold broom.
Speaker 4: So so yeah, let's can we just coco the record? Well,
Speaker 4: I just want to ask you one question off the top,
Speaker 4: would you count me in?
Speaker 5: That's nice?
Speaker 3: I never that.
Speaker 1: And I just was yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, but like back then in the day, it's
Speaker 4: just like that's somebody play that audio bit.
Speaker 3: And now I've been.
Speaker 4: Like, oh that's bubbly the first time, bubblic. But now
Speaker 4: I understand that you're probably just talking to the engineer.
Speaker 5: I was talking to my producer, and I kept coming
Speaker 5: in on the wrong spot because when I wrote the song,
Speaker 5: I played the guitar differently than when how he recorded it,
Speaker 5: and so I kept coming in wrong, which I was
Speaker 5: extremely embarrassed about, like as a musician, like how am
Speaker 5: I and this is my song? How am I getting
Speaker 5: it wrong? So I was like, will you count me in?
Speaker 5: And he was like, that was so cute. I want
Speaker 5: to keep that. And I was like, you cannot keep that.
Speaker 5: That's like record Michael Blue.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So he kept it and.
Speaker 3: People like, oh man, it's yeah.
Speaker 1: I I dude, for sure. How did you even How
Speaker 1: did you even get started in the pop music world?
Speaker 1: How does because that's a lane of the business I
Speaker 1: don't know anything about. Well, so there one TikTok and
Speaker 1: all this stuff.
Speaker 5: Well, there was my space. There was my friend from
Speaker 5: high school put Bubbly up. It was a demo and
Speaker 5: a couple other songs, and he made me a MySpace
Speaker 5: page and I had no idea what social media was.
Speaker 5: And over I don't know, it was like around six
Speaker 5: months or so I have time span that people started
Speaker 5: following my page and adding, you know, you could add
Speaker 5: your songs, what was your.
Speaker 3: What was your background? Because you could do a background
Speaker 3: and you could do a song.
Speaker 5: It was so cool. I mean, it really was like
Speaker 5: the coolest.
Speaker 1: Mom was cool too.
Speaker 4: I'll start with my mind was a because I was
Speaker 4: five ten, I was.
Speaker 1: Real good basket the way you were five ten in
Speaker 1: high school? No, probably I was probably five four. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I can't believe he said the same number right there,
Speaker 4: because but I had to do that. My dream was
Speaker 4: to play basketball duke and uh and so I had
Speaker 4: a duke background, and then I had who's the what's
Speaker 4: that band that sings?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: Me me at the wig? That was my song?
Speaker 1: Was?
Speaker 5: It was a jagged edge song with that background.
Speaker 4: That's with that background I was I was doing my song.
Speaker 1: Was can we forget about things?
Speaker 5: I said, what was your matching background? Did?
Speaker 1: I did mean to call you? That?
Speaker 5: So different to I think it.
Speaker 1: Was like Les Paul's like.
Speaker 3: Jesus, all right, what's yours? What your email?
Speaker 5: I think it was like a flower wallpaper. I mean,
Speaker 5: we've changed a.
Speaker 3: Lot, but but Bubbly was your song? Well, you could
Speaker 3: have your.
Speaker 5: Own songs up there. So I had a few of
Speaker 5: my songs up there, and then that's how people started
Speaker 5: hearing it, and then I eventually became the number one
Speaker 5: unsigned artists on MySpace, and then I got offered a
Speaker 5: record deal.
Speaker 1: I mean, you couldn't have been that old when that
Speaker 1: was happening.
Speaker 5: I was twenty one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you're younger than me, So, I mean I
Speaker 1: having a Mobs space. It was I don't remember how
Speaker 1: I remember being young than having a Mons space at least. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember being in college when Facebook and I started popping. Okay,
Speaker 1: it miss to be studied.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my space was the jam for a second.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for saving for a second. Okay, So it's it's
Speaker 4: it's Grammy, Uh, Grammy time. The Grammys just happened. There
Speaker 4: is a Grammy winner in this room, and it's definitely
Speaker 4: not any of us. Kobe won You want a Grammy
Speaker 4: with Jason Moraz, I did, yeah over a song that
Speaker 4: was written via email. Yeah that might be I probably
Speaker 4: You're probably the only one to win a Grammy over
Speaker 4: a song that's over email.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: That was crazy because I was a fan of his
Speaker 5: and my first album had just come out and he
Speaker 5: had the song started and he wanted to have me
Speaker 5: finished writing it with him and do edit with him.
Speaker 5: So but we were both on tour and couldn't physically
Speaker 5: get together, so my guitar player Tim Fagan on the
Speaker 5: road with me. We kept sending ideas back and forth
Speaker 5: to him. Yeah, pretty cool.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Giant song. That was a giant Do you
Speaker 1: mean when that pop because we recognized pop music is
Speaker 1: multiplied times ten, what country music is? What? What was?
Speaker 1: How did that? How did that instant like fame affect you?
Speaker 1: Because I know you had to have it. The song
Speaker 1: was too big, not too both of those songs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5: I didn't really know how to handle it. I was
Speaker 5: very introverted and shy and not I had. I had
Speaker 5: little experience performing. I didn't It was all so new
Speaker 5: and such a rush whirlwind, Like I was lucky how
Speaker 5: fast it happened. But you know, doing TV performances and
Speaker 5: traveling the world and getting all these incredible experiences which
Speaker 5: I wasn't prepared for. So I had to have like
Speaker 5: their pissed out on the road and I had just
Speaker 5: like the worst stage fright, and I had to have
Speaker 5: media training and a stage coach, like literally talking in
Speaker 5: my ears while I'm performing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like it was. I mean, I can't imagine how
Speaker 3: overwhelming decade, That's.
Speaker 1: What I was saying.
Speaker 5: Well, with no experience, Like I loved singing, I loved writing,
Speaker 5: but I didn't really want to be an entertainer. So
Speaker 5: that was the side that I didn't have any practicing,
Speaker 5: So I had to learn as I was.
Speaker 3: Literally like, yeah, I mean it was I mean, you
Speaker 3: crushed it, you did great.
Speaker 5: Well, thanks, but I had to I had to figure
Speaker 5: it out and learn as I went.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, what was what did you originally want to
Speaker 1: do when you were a little kid? What were you like, Man,
Speaker 1: I want to do this is the job I want
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 5: I wanted to be a photographer in Africa. Well, I
Speaker 5: also wanted to be a singer, so like on your
Speaker 5: school things, I wanted to be a singer and a photographer.
Speaker 1: That's better. Mind, I want to be a durin source Rex.
Speaker 1: So what well, that's when I grew up. It was
Speaker 1: a little bit.
Speaker 3: I want to be a shortstop for the braves. It
Speaker 3: was a short except that I was just short stop
Speaker 3: for my little int all out.
Speaker 4: So yeah, but your background in music, your dad was,
Speaker 4: I mean, your dad's produced some crazy records, especially with.
Speaker 3: Mac and Rumors and Yeah and all those.
Speaker 4: Was that, like, was he supportive of that when you
Speaker 4: started wanting to write songs and started singing and wanting.
Speaker 3: To chase that career, was he supportive of that or
Speaker 3: was he like, be careful both?
Speaker 5: They My parents knew how like how obviously like you're
Speaker 5: getting in this like fast lane and life's gonna get crazy.
Speaker 5: But they also gave me the tools, put me in
Speaker 5: vocal lessons and guitar lessons and told me about songwriting
Speaker 5: and song structure and how I should not only be
Speaker 5: a singer but a songwriter. So they gave me all
Speaker 5: the tools, and so I found my manager. It's how
Speaker 5: I put my band together. It's how like they they
Speaker 5: helped me so much.
Speaker 3: We'll come back to music later in the show.
Speaker 5: But you're kind of like an outdoor finatic, right, I
Speaker 5: love doing on outdoor stuff.
Speaker 4: What's what's your If you've got twenty four hours of
Speaker 4: sunlight that you could like plan a perfect outdoor day?
Speaker 4: What I thought of that question on the way question
Speaker 4: what you do from? What would you do from? You know,
Speaker 4: what was your what would your what would your day be?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 5: Sunshine near the water. I mean, it depends where I'm
Speaker 5: out here in Nashville. Like in the summer during the pandemic,
Speaker 5: we were going to we were like kayaking the rivers
Speaker 5: all the time, and we were I mean Hawaii. We
Speaker 5: would hike to waterfalls and we'd stand up paddle aboard
Speaker 5: the river or obviously out in the ocean boating. I
Speaker 5: love stuff being on the water.
Speaker 3: Sunshine grew up in born in Malibu.
Speaker 5: Just grew up in Malibuy born in Malibu, grew up
Speaker 5: like just like inland of their southern California and grew
Speaker 5: up going to Hawaiian my whole life.
Speaker 3: Do you do any surfer?
Speaker 5: No, not really Like in my like older years, my
Speaker 5: brother in laws like pushed me into some waves and
Speaker 5: I'll try to stand up, But no, I'm not a surfer.
Speaker 4: We've we've been to Maui. That's where we went on
Speaker 4: our honeymoon, and that's my favorite place in the world.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 5: Hawaii is this magical? Just it's beautiful, everyone's nice, it
Speaker 5: smells amazing, the trade winds, it's you haven't been.
Speaker 1: I have not been. What I'm saying, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: I would. I would love to go. That's a long flight,
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a lot shorter from California. I don't
Speaker 5: go as often now from here, like thirteen hours.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the that's the kicker.
Speaker 4: You got to go like fly to l A, spend
Speaker 4: the night in LA and then fly from California like
Speaker 4: recent then fly from California.
Speaker 1: And I was on the road all like all year
Speaker 1: last year, and it's gonna it's tough to get.
Speaker 5: Me out of It's hard once you're Yeah, once you're
Speaker 5: not on the road traveling for work, you want to
Speaker 5: just be home. Do you guys vacation do you do?
Speaker 1: We're beachy.
Speaker 5: I mean we'll go to Florida.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we take like a yearly beach trip in the fall.
Speaker 4: But we're always like, we love the West Many, we
Speaker 4: love Montana and Wyoming.
Speaker 1: And yeah, we're always going somewhere. I guess some people
Speaker 1: call it vacation. We just call hunting trips. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: currently Okay, I'm kind of going all over the states.
Speaker 4: I will say this, I'm not like a like I'm
Speaker 4: a small town southern cat, you know, redneck. I don't
Speaker 4: love southern California. Yeah, that's where Malvy is right, Like,
Speaker 4: so not was that sure, but we went to northern
Speaker 4: California last year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're so different.
Speaker 3: That's the closest thing to Mauie I've ever seen, like
Speaker 3: on a smaller scale.
Speaker 5: You know, it's a little more lush. It's like, you know,
Speaker 5: obviously it's greener, there's more rain, but yeah, I get it.
Speaker 5: Like I I I grew up in California. I never
Speaker 5: thought i'd leave. I'm like a total California girl. And
Speaker 5: then I came here to Tennessee and I fell in
Speaker 5: love with it. And now I can't imagine going back,
Speaker 5: Like I just I love it here so much. I
Speaker 5: love the people, I love really, I love the like especially. Actually,
Speaker 5: I feel like Nashville in the summer looks like Hawaii.
Speaker 5: It is like there's the tropical storms, It's lush and green,
Speaker 5: there's rivers, there's rain. I don't know. It's really makes
Speaker 5: me happy.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm surprised, coming from where you come from,
Speaker 1: that you fell in love with Nashville, because it seems,
Speaker 1: how do I say, this seems kind of the same
Speaker 1: to me. It seems like the same thing, just buildings
Speaker 1: and cities.
Speaker 5: And tra Well, so I grew up outside of LA
Speaker 5: so we wouldn't really go I wouldn't go to sporting
Speaker 5: events or concerts. Everything was far drives and traffic, and
Speaker 5: so we'd go to the beach or we'd hang out
Speaker 5: in like hometown. But here I go to Pred's games,
Speaker 5: I go to the soccer games, we go to concerts
Speaker 5: in Nashville. We are doing stuff all the time, and
Speaker 5: it's you know, it's a small town. Everyone knows each other,
Speaker 5: which can be you know, not how it can have
Speaker 5: its you know, pros and cons. I do love that
Speaker 5: it feels like everyone's friends, and it.
Speaker 1: Does feel like that, like everybody's routing everybody else.
Speaker 5: I really do think that.
Speaker 3: Is it that way in LA?
Speaker 4: Is it that way in the pop world because we
Speaker 4: don't I don't know anything about I've never been out
Speaker 4: there to ride. I don't really have any friends that
Speaker 4: do that. Is that the same? Because when people think
Speaker 4: of songwriter communities, I think of Nashville obviously, and I
Speaker 4: think of you know, maybe New York and l A.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, are there similarities between that and here?
Speaker 5: I mean obviously in like Little Wa. But it's it's
Speaker 5: just a bigger city. It's a bigger industry, so everything
Speaker 5: is just more spread out. You're not running into people
Speaker 5: as much. You're not. It's just a it's a totally
Speaker 5: different thing than here.
Speaker 1: Is the co writing the same or no?
Speaker 5: There, it's kind of it's whatever, we're here. You guys
Speaker 5: have your like eleven to three, you know.
Speaker 3: Out the door.
Speaker 1: We should probably explain what what we actually do, so
Speaker 1: not to you, but to the listeners. So we read
Speaker 1: and I both have publish it. Are you a publishing deal?
Speaker 1: Do you do this? Do you do the same thing
Speaker 1: we do?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, so we have publishing deals. We're staff writers at
Speaker 1: different companies. So we have someone that kind of sets
Speaker 1: our schedule for the week. Usually it's an eleven o'clock start,
Speaker 1: sometimes ten o'clock, and then usually you're somewhere down the line,
Speaker 1: either with an entire song by three thirty or four
Speaker 1: or a half song and kind of get out of
Speaker 1: there because the artist that day has to walk their
Speaker 1: dog whatever sometimes whatever the kid. Yeah, the dog. Though
Speaker 1: I'd love to stay and finish this, but gosh, my
Speaker 1: dog's been inside.
Speaker 4: So I'm an hour and a half late and I
Speaker 4: got to get out of here a one thirty. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you're like, cool, bruh, get it.
Speaker 1: But so that's kind of how our day works. And
Speaker 1: so I've heard that a lot of those LA rights
Speaker 1: are tracks and people jumping in on them and you
Speaker 1: never and it could be that's one of there's ten
Speaker 1: to twelve riders on a lot of those songs, and
Speaker 1: there's max usually in Nashville's four. You know, have you
Speaker 1: done much co writing here?
Speaker 5: I've done a lot of co writing here, but you know,
Speaker 5: or in LA I never did want like those big
Speaker 5: track rights. It was always more singer songwriting. Obviously, if
Speaker 5: there was like a track up in the room, there's
Speaker 5: still max four people. So I was never in those
Speaker 5: big kind of settings. But yeah, it was really just
Speaker 5: whatever people worked, like their schedule, so it could be
Speaker 5: you could write at night, you could write all day long,
Speaker 5: you could have double sessions. I feel like here people
Speaker 5: they make time for their home life a little bit
Speaker 5: more meet.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, definitely. Well, we definitely do because we like
Speaker 1: our families. Some people are like.
Speaker 5: They were writing Yeah, yeah for sure.
Speaker 1: So did you when you wrote those first that first record?
Speaker 1: Did you write the majority of that record by yourself? So?
Speaker 5: I wrote with my friend Jason Reeves and my producer
Speaker 5: Michael Blue, So mostly just me and Jason, but Michael
Speaker 5: co wrote some.
Speaker 1: Of them with us. Was it like wildfire, I'm assuming
Speaker 1: once that song started popping or people just knocking down
Speaker 1: the door.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, And it was so wild because at that time,
Speaker 5: I feel like anything I like. I got to tour
Speaker 5: with John Mayer and Cheryl Crow and seeing at the
Speaker 5: White House for like two different presidents. I just I
Speaker 5: got so many different opportunities where I'm like, is this
Speaker 5: really happening, like just anyone I want to work with
Speaker 5: or any like.
Speaker 7: It just was.
Speaker 5: It was just so like a natural flow. It was
Speaker 5: really incredible.
Speaker 1: Now you're on CAUs with us. Geez, sorry, jeez.
Speaker 3: Did you see that? Like did you see that? Did
Speaker 3: you want to get there? Like, like, did you see
Speaker 3: that in your future? As like I want to be
Speaker 3: a pop star?
Speaker 5: No? No, which I think was part of the problem
Speaker 5: because I didn't have that drive or motivation for a
Speaker 5: lot of the things.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 5: Again, it happened for me, and so I got to
Speaker 5: like I had to roll with it as but I
Speaker 5: felt like I didn't. I was I was a little
Speaker 5: lazy and I was a little reclusive, so I didn't.
Speaker 5: I didn't really want to do so much of the stuff.
Speaker 5: I didn't really want to be touring I was. I
Speaker 5: feel like that got in the way of me allowing
Speaker 5: my career to kind of flourish more.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Really, how how busy were you? I mean, were
Speaker 1: you just gone for years?
Speaker 5: The first two the first album I was literally gone.
Speaker 5: I was I was never home. Yeah, I was gone
Speaker 5: for a couple of years, and we were all over
Speaker 5: the world and amazing experiences, but it was so many
Speaker 5: that you don't have time to really process, Like I
Speaker 5: don't remember a lot.
Speaker 1: Of it was interesting. Yeah, absolutely. We went to Australia.
Speaker 1: I went to Australia with Luke and people were like,
Speaker 1: do you see a kangaroo?
Speaker 3: And I was like, what do you mean?
Speaker 1: Downtown cities, the entire flying every day. Yeah, yea, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. I mean, and it's not it is not
Speaker 1: as glamorous as people it.
Speaker 5: Can be, but most of the time, no, you don't
Speaker 5: have time for it, or you're too tired.
Speaker 1: If you do have the time, That's what I found myself, yeah,
Speaker 1: being just like man, I just want to watch someone
Speaker 1: Netflix for a day the hotel yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: But I would try to like sight seeing the cities
Speaker 5: and go like on walks or jogs and try to
Speaker 5: go get like coffee or food somewhere and see the.
Speaker 1: City y'all, because y'all get y'all can kind of like
Speaker 1: get identified out there, like as to where a guitar tech.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows who I am. So I can go see stuff.
Speaker 1: I went to see the Eiffel Tower and some other things,
Speaker 1: you know. But at the same time, I also while
Speaker 1: I was seeing those things, where like like I would
Speaker 1: walk to them or exactly. And luckily my wife was like, hey,
Speaker 1: I want you to get me a postcard and a
Speaker 1: magnet from everywhere you go. So and I think she
Speaker 1: was very intelligently putting something for me to do so
Speaker 1: that I would get out of the damn room, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And it really ended up making
Speaker 1: me see some things, and I'm very thankful for that.
Speaker 1: But so I would be going these quests every day
Speaker 1: to find a magnet and a postcard and dude, there's
Speaker 1: not postcards anywhere anymore, by the.
Speaker 5: Way, really it is.
Speaker 1: It was a stretch I would I would have to
Speaker 1: go like miles some days.
Speaker 5: She knew it too, She knew she.
Speaker 4: Didn't just go into a gas station there and there'd
Speaker 4: be like a spin and I kept you'd have to
Speaker 4: find Like I mean, I guess postcards are kind of
Speaker 4: a thing of the past. Nobody's everybody just sending emails
Speaker 4: and text.
Speaker 1: Because I ended up bringing this giant stack of postcards
Speaker 1: on She was like oh good, and she just put
Speaker 1: them in a drawer. You know, it's like you can't
Speaker 1: put fifty postcards up anywhere. So I think it was
Speaker 1: a ploy to get me to to move.
Speaker 5: I think that's a good thing. It was good the world.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. My point was I kept going, Wow, the
Speaker 1: Aiffel Terrer is cool. My wife would love this, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I feel like if you had
Speaker 1: people around you that you could experience those things.
Speaker 5: With would be more enjoyable. Yeah or or yeah, you
Speaker 5: could see where you want to go back and visit
Speaker 5: when you have time.
Speaker 1: I did not want to do you do you want
Speaker 1: to go back to the places that you toured across
Speaker 1: the world?
Speaker 5: Like I love Switzerland, so like that's a place where
Speaker 5: I don't want to go back.
Speaker 3: I was going to ask you, what's your favorite of
Speaker 3: all the places that you got to tour? What was
Speaker 3: your favorite spot?
Speaker 5: I loved Australia, I loved Switzerland. Germany was beautiful. I
Speaker 5: didn't like the food there, but like the fans were amazing.
Speaker 5: Japan was really amazing. Actually, I get I'm doing c
Speaker 5: to see next Like yeah, next month, so we get
Speaker 5: to go to Rotterdam, Berlin, and then London. So I
Speaker 5: haven't been there, been back for like I don't know,
Speaker 5: ten years or something, so looking forward to it.
Speaker 3: Have you ever got to take pictures in Africa?
Speaker 5: Like you never been to Africa? I know, I know.
Speaker 5: It's kind of like we were saying, like when we're
Speaker 5: off the road, it's like you just want to chill
Speaker 5: at home and not book any trips. So I find
Speaker 5: myself not traveling as much as I should.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Plus you lot where you're at now, and.
Speaker 5: I do, I really do. It's hard to leave, Yeah,
Speaker 5: it is.
Speaker 1: It's it's not hard to live for me to leave.
Speaker 1: I kind of like at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: I like getting out of an ashell. Yeah, but we
Speaker 1: live south, you know, so we can go.
Speaker 5: Out more out the country. Yeah, beautiful.
Speaker 4: So Sister Act, Yeah, that's the when you think of
Speaker 4: the turning point I guess in your brain for for
Speaker 4: wanting to become a singer, that's that's the movie you
Speaker 4: got to.
Speaker 5: Right, absolutely. I mean I think I've always sung since
Speaker 5: I was a kid. But when I saw Lauren Hill
Speaker 5: heard her do His Eyes on the Sparrow and Sister
Speaker 5: Act too, it was just and like we were talking
Speaker 5: about it earlier and you guys were It's there's just
Speaker 5: something about how effortless her voice was and how like
Speaker 5: singing can just feel that good, sound that good. And
Speaker 5: that's what inspired me.
Speaker 4: I think for most singers if they've seen that movie,
Speaker 4: that is one of the things like you think about
Speaker 4: like performances that.
Speaker 3: Blow you away. That is one thousand percent And it's
Speaker 3: so short.
Speaker 1: It's such a it is short, and I'll sell you
Speaker 1: that for me with that at what makes Lauren Hill's
Speaker 1: voice non replicable whatever that word is. It's like, is
Speaker 1: the like you're talking about the effortlessness, but the control too,
Speaker 1: Like I mean those notes, she's hitting her just right
Speaker 1: in the middle of.
Speaker 3: The fat part of the note.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a beautiful thing. And you know who
Speaker 1: else really loves that? It is our dad, Dude.
Speaker 4: He gets fired up every time I watched that movie
Speaker 4: with him. And I've seen that movie.
Speaker 3: I've watched it with that read sit down, You've got
Speaker 3: to see this part.
Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, fifty eight thousand times. Yeah, he loves it, man,
Speaker 1: he loves he loves the soul of it. There's good soul,
Speaker 1: great control. Uh Strom. I was trying to work that out.
Speaker 3: I don't know the whole song. I don't know what
Speaker 3: was it, this thing.
Speaker 7: Being in my life with his words, killing me softly
Speaker 7: with his song, killing me softly with his soul, kill
Speaker 7: him my ball life with his words killing me.
Speaker 3: So this is the this part right here with his song.
Speaker 4: Round yeah.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 6: So I heard, and so I came to see him
Speaker 6: and let s.
Speaker 4: For WHI.
Speaker 3: Thinking it, sir, And there.
Speaker 5: You was this young boy, straight injured two.
Speaker 6: With this thing.
Speaker 5: You're so nice. I want to learn how to play
Speaker 5: that on the guitar.
Speaker 3: Oh man, that kind of I kind of went somewhere
Speaker 3: right then.
Speaker 5: Man, that was yeah, fun nice armies guys.
Speaker 3: I don't know why I went.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see I'm happy to listen to that,
Speaker 1: but I don't want to see it because my face
Speaker 1: was doing the math to the next corner I was going.
Speaker 1: I was like glitching out on that guitar. That's different
Speaker 1: in the way. That's a different style. It's to what
Speaker 1: we normally do, right. Oh yeah, man, I mean that
Speaker 1: is so it's hard to sol that on acoustic.
Speaker 4: Man, I'm a melody guy. That's my in listening to
Speaker 4: your records, Coco and even this new one that you
Speaker 4: put out last October.
Speaker 3: Look at me, it's cookie. Your melodies on that thing
Speaker 3: are are crazy, like like like on every song too.
Speaker 4: And I know you you collaborated with Liz Rose and
Speaker 4: aj Prus and all of that stuff and wrote got
Speaker 4: to write Brett James and my whole thing that like
Speaker 4: kind of going through the national thing.
Speaker 3: But you also wrote a lot of that stuff by yourself.
Speaker 3: What is your what's your process?
Speaker 1: All?
Speaker 5: Like every time it's different, But I think for me,
Speaker 5: it's mostly a melody. So if I'm playing the guitar
Speaker 5: or playing the piano, it's usually on guitar, but I'll
Speaker 5: just be humming something and then like you know, like
Speaker 5: there's a couple of words that fall out, and sure,
Speaker 5: sometimes you don't even know what you're gonna write about,
Speaker 5: or sometimes you have that you're like, I really need
Speaker 5: to say this right now. So a lot of times
Speaker 5: it's mostly the melody and then I fill in the
Speaker 5: lyrics later. Those kind of take me a little bit longer.
Speaker 5: But writing with Liz and aj for most of this record,
Speaker 5: I would have this idea, either the idea of what
Speaker 5: I wanted to say, or part of the chorus or
Speaker 5: the title whatever, and I would call them and be like,
Speaker 5: all right, we ought to write, and you know, we'd
Speaker 5: get together like a day later and we'd write these songs.
Speaker 3: And it was very therapeutics.
Speaker 1: Is You're a good company, right, No, two of them.
Speaker 5: It was just such a great experience.
Speaker 1: I've written with a j I've never I haven't written
Speaker 1: with Liz yet, but man, she is.
Speaker 5: She gets it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, she's she knows what she's doing. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3: I love all those songs are great but old and new.
Speaker 3: Did you write that by yourself?
Speaker 5: I did.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 3: It kind of feels like a personal It is very personal,
Speaker 3: very very well written.
Speaker 4: But but yeah, I kind of felt like, in a
Speaker 4: not a weird way, like I got to know you
Speaker 4: and your story a little bit more and your story
Speaker 4: your storytelling. Yeah, well, I mean your storytelling to the
Speaker 4: whole thing is even on the co Co record, like
Speaker 4: the Coco record is a it feels very like oxygen
Speaker 4: off the front. It feels malibuis you know what I'm
Speaker 4: saying Like it feels so, but at the same time,
Speaker 4: it still has the elements of a country record because
Speaker 4: it's it's a lot of storytelling. There's a lot of
Speaker 4: personal things and that thing too, and and I don't know,
Speaker 4: It's just I don't really know where I'm going with this.
Speaker 5: Well, I appreciate that. I'm so glad. I'm like that,
Speaker 5: you know all that, and I yeah, I think that's
Speaker 5: why I like with this new album along the way
Speaker 5: being country. I've I feel like my first album has
Speaker 5: always like it could have been country back then, Like
Speaker 5: I never really felt like a pop artist because it
Speaker 5: was always more singer songwriter folk, and so I felt
Speaker 5: like this was like a natural progression into country and
Speaker 5: with the steel guitar and the doughbro and all that,
Speaker 5: I just love it so much.
Speaker 1: What brought you?
Speaker 3: What made you want to do a country record? What
Speaker 3: made you want to it?
Speaker 7: Was it?
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 1: Was it?
Speaker 3: The songwriting, storytelling through all of it. Kind of yeah,
Speaker 3: the mold here.
Speaker 5: I've been coming to Nashville writing, I've been doing a
Speaker 5: lot of collaborations with country artists over my career and
Speaker 5: by being here and like I actually I didn't really
Speaker 5: grow up listening to country music, so it was newer
Speaker 5: for me. But I started just falling in love with
Speaker 5: it the longer I lived here, and then I was like, well,
Speaker 5: I love the steel guitar, I love the dough bro
Speaker 5: like can I not put it on my music?
Speaker 1: And absolutely join.
Speaker 5: I started Gone West the country band a few years
Speaker 5: ago with Yeah with my friends and my fiance at
Speaker 5: the time, and that was a country album. So it's
Speaker 5: just been like a long progression I feel like, and
Speaker 5: it does feel like the right home for my music.
Speaker 3: So you feel at home here, I do.
Speaker 5: I really do.
Speaker 3: Man, that's awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Who were you listened to? Who are some of
Speaker 1: your country influences?
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, well, I'm a huge like Kenny Chesney fan,
Speaker 5: Morgan Wallin, I love Brooks and Dunn. I mean the
Speaker 5: list can like literally go on, but I feel like,
Speaker 5: I don't know. Country music is just like the music's
Speaker 5: so beautiful and then the lyrics they really really melts
Speaker 5: your heart, like it's everyone knows the good heartbreak song.
Speaker 5: You can just relate to it so much.
Speaker 1: Who was it saying that one time? I want to
Speaker 1: say it was like one of the dudes from Kiss
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, but you all got the song. They
Speaker 1: were talking to a national songwriter and he was saying, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I love what y'all do, and he said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I what you do. He said. The difference between what
Speaker 1: we do and what you do is country music has
Speaker 1: the stories, you know, Like that's the way that I
Speaker 1: want to you know, like and we're kind of like
Speaker 1: talking about maybe yeah, an influence or a kid or
Speaker 1: you know, your son or your dad or you know
Speaker 1: where the stories. He was like, Man, you guys can
Speaker 1: tell stories. And I always try to remember that as
Speaker 1: a writer, Like sometimes we get we catch feelings and
Speaker 1: want to get caught up in them, but really the
Speaker 1: majority of listeners just want to hear a really great story.
Speaker 5: Yes, and they always relate to it. And country music
Speaker 5: there's always that great twist in the lyric that's.
Speaker 1: It's uh sometimes yeah, nobody just wrap my on the left. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know you're right that that is a staple of
Speaker 1: country music.
Speaker 3: So what's next?
Speaker 1: What are you?
Speaker 3: Are you working on another project? You you just just
Speaker 3: catalog and songs?
Speaker 5: What do you I am working on another project?
Speaker 1: I don't know?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'm working.
Speaker 3: That's always the manager look at.
Speaker 5: Like you just never know because like.
Speaker 3: You've got any spots open on there that you need
Speaker 3: an outdoor song?
Speaker 1: Yeah, stories, you know, that's actually the entire reason we're
Speaker 1: doing this podcast. No days, just get people in here
Speaker 1: and then get yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the people that listen to it. I don't know
Speaker 3: that after this we actually the requirement. I don't know
Speaker 3: if you saw it in the fine print, you have
Speaker 3: to book a ride with us.
Speaker 1: Organ actually put that in there. She should put that print.
Speaker 1: Shooting skate, Oh yeah, shooting.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: During the pandemic, my friends, they taught me how to shoot, so,
Speaker 5: like I never I didn't grow up with guns, Like
Speaker 5: I was actually like fully against guns, and then coming
Speaker 5: here and just being around everything more and being taught
Speaker 5: about guns probably everyone having that was like I was
Speaker 5: like what, Like, I don't know, it's just so it
Speaker 5: was so different from me. But then I learned, like
Speaker 5: they taught me all the proper ways to use every
Speaker 5: different gun, and and then I started shooting ski and
Speaker 5: I'm really good.
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, what's your do you have like a specific
Speaker 4: shotgun gauge like a twenty eight gauge or no, I
Speaker 4: don't have a shotgun.
Speaker 5: I have I have a couple of clocks and like
Speaker 5: a little ruger, but I don't I do. I'm told
Speaker 5: I need a shotgun, but I haven't purchased a shotgun.
Speaker 1: Yet.
Speaker 5: But when we're shooting SKI, I don't know what I use.
Speaker 5: That's whatever.
Speaker 3: Shooting with the pistol, don't It don't matter what you use,
Speaker 3: you're blowing them up.
Speaker 5: I do get a lot of them, and I don't
Speaker 5: really know how. I'm like, how did I.
Speaker 1: Just do that?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I know every time I feel the same way.
Speaker 1: You should come to the dugline with this, because we
Speaker 1: could do nothing.
Speaker 3: I just bought all you could. I killed most a
Speaker 3: few limits.
Speaker 1: Speak for yourself.
Speaker 3: Yes, I just bought a four ten and old four
Speaker 3: ten for we have a kind of new baby boy.
Speaker 3: We got a little girl on a baby boy. But
Speaker 3: I wanted to buy him a gun that you know.
Speaker 3: I passed down to him and I bought it.
Speaker 4: And my buddy was like, we were down in Misissippi
Speaker 4: and he was like, hey man, he's like, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: bring fourten shils, let's shoot THEI SKI.
Speaker 3: I was like, okay.
Speaker 4: So it brought them out and I was like, man,
Speaker 4: I can't like just start missing every play with this gun.
Speaker 4: And I did for a while and then I figured out,
Speaker 4: you know, the bead pattern and all that. But I
Speaker 4: feel the same way every time I shoot at a
Speaker 4: ski and I hit it, I'm always like, one, very
Speaker 4: proud of myself, and two I'm kind of blown away
Speaker 4: that I hit.
Speaker 5: It because it's you know, it's hard.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I feel like the more I focus on it, the
Speaker 5: more I miss. And then when I'm just like yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm like, wow, how did I do that?
Speaker 1: I don't want to put you on the spot here,
Speaker 1: but you talked about not growing up around guns and
Speaker 1: then come in and being educated on it. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: do you I mean? That's that's foreign for us because
Speaker 1: we were always around our dad. Yeah hundred and fished
Speaker 1: and literally from the time we were born, we were
Speaker 1: running to get doves. And you know, how do you how?
Speaker 1: Or first off, like who kind of educated you on
Speaker 1: the handling of guns? And how did you how did
Speaker 1: you get to a point where you felt comfortable? And
Speaker 1: let me say this by saying feel comfortable, I don't
Speaker 1: think anyone should ever feel extremely comfortable. There should always be.
Speaker 3: A place absolutely of reverence.
Speaker 1: And understanding that this is a tool that can be Yeah,
Speaker 1: it could be deadly, you know.
Speaker 3: But that is interesting because because with you, there was
Speaker 3: a wall of like firearms, no.
Speaker 5: Absolutely against one hundred percent. I was against them, and
Speaker 5: I and then coming here and my friends out in
Speaker 5: Nashland City. We were on their ranch and and they
Speaker 5: fully it was like a full on lesson, like they
Speaker 5: had them laid out. They everything was you know, the
Speaker 5: magazines were out, nothing was loaded. They teach you to
Speaker 5: check to make sure there's you know, I never have
Speaker 5: your finger on the trigger. I got all the lessons,
Speaker 5: and I was like, oh, this is like I really
Speaker 5: respect this, like I had just I had no understanding
Speaker 5: of it whatsoever. So of course it was just like
Speaker 5: fear in my mind, and I thought they were just
Speaker 5: bad and everyone used that used them like had no
Speaker 5: idea what they were doing or they totally yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: I was uneducated, so they truly like educated me. And
Speaker 5: then I we would shoot on the ranch and then
Speaker 5: I would go to the gun range here at the
Speaker 5: armory and and just understand it more.
Speaker 3: That's awesome. Yeah, that's really, that's awesome.
Speaker 1: I could I always sympathize with people that that don't hunt,
Speaker 1: that don't like guns. There's a lot of riders that
Speaker 1: that I'll get in the room with and we'll start
Speaker 1: talking about it, and it genuinely you said it perfectly.
Speaker 1: It always seems to come down to a lack of
Speaker 1: education and understanding about what what the point is right
Speaker 1: of having a gun, or what what you're using it for,
Speaker 1: or that that it can be. It can be essentially
Speaker 1: like a hammer and a toolbox, you know, just a
Speaker 1: tool to accomplish something. Yeah, but handled the wrong way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it can.
Speaker 1: It can. It can be tough. So I think that's
Speaker 1: interesting that that you once were this and now you're this.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's cool, especially in that round. I mean that's
Speaker 4: such a you know, controversial thing, you know, across across America.
Speaker 5: It absolutely is. And I think people that like know
Speaker 5: that I you guns now that are like what who
Speaker 5: is she? I'm like, well, I'm not like, I'm not
Speaker 5: like promoting stuff.
Speaker 3: There's a way to handle it. There's a way to
Speaker 3: enjoy them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly for sure.
Speaker 3: Let's talk. Are you a cold plunger?
Speaker 5: I've done it a few times. I'm not like, it's
Speaker 5: not okay, it's not like an everyday thing, no, are
Speaker 5: you guys?
Speaker 4: I've been thinking about cold I want to be I
Speaker 4: cold plunge in the bathtub, like like especially like through
Speaker 4: the winter.
Speaker 3: Just do the cold. But yeah, I've I've.
Speaker 5: Seen showers are really good for you too, no doubt.
Speaker 4: I took my first cold shower of the year yesterday.
Speaker 4: I cut up a bunch of trees and was run
Speaker 4: a fire all day.
Speaker 3: It was awesome. It's an awesome day. And then jumped
Speaker 3: in a cold shower.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's it's kind of like the fad, you
Speaker 4: know right now everybody's taking cold bath, yeah, to overcome something.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I even asked my dad just I was like,
Speaker 4: hey man, you got like a trough laying around or anything.
Speaker 4: He's like, actually, I do what were you cold plunging for?
Speaker 4: Did you do it for like a was it a
Speaker 4: charity thing or no?
Speaker 5: We did it. We just we thought it was like
Speaker 5: I don't know. We did it this summer a few
Speaker 5: times after workouts, and it just takes a lot, like
Speaker 5: buying all the ice bags and loading it. Like I'd
Speaker 5: rather like have the proper tub that's just cold and
Speaker 5: not have to do all the work. And like I
Speaker 5: hate when the ice cubes hit you. It's just so
Speaker 5: but obviously like that's but it's it does feel good,
Speaker 5: and I know it's there's health benefits, but it's not
Speaker 5: just I just can't get with it.
Speaker 1: I should. And here's what you just said.
Speaker 3: You were thinking about it, thinking about.
Speaker 1: It because I talked to someone, but you've never done it.
Speaker 1: It's not I mean I've read got on a close
Speaker 1: shower kick and he's like, dude, you gotta take cold showers. Okay, man,
Speaker 1: So like I will take a couple of cold showers,
Speaker 1: but I keep hearing like, oh, it resets your body
Speaker 1: to this mudd.
Speaker 4: It'll start they'll start saying that you don't you don't
Speaker 4: believe in any of this because most some of this
Speaker 4: is actually like factual what it does for you metabolism wise.
Speaker 1: And all that.
Speaker 5: And also it's mind control. So like you get in
Speaker 5: and you're just like shaking, and then you realize if
Speaker 5: you can control yourself and like to make your deep
Speaker 5: breast and slow yourself.
Speaker 4: Down, that it's overcoming an uncomfortable thing. And that's what
Speaker 4: a lot of them do it for, is is they
Speaker 4: do it to do something uncomfortable every day.
Speaker 5: Yes, Okay, here guys like we have gray beanies and
Speaker 5: we're in like I'm like, I don't know, it's kind
Speaker 5: of cool.
Speaker 1: Maybe you should just sprout with us all the time.
Speaker 1: You know. The reason I'm saying cold is because I
Speaker 1: talked to someone and I said, man, you know, and
Speaker 1: they said they gave me the argument of doing something uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, why don't you just slam your head
Speaker 1: into the wall. What do you mean you well, that's uncomfortable.
Speaker 5: You're not understanding it. It's It's imagine if you fell
Speaker 5: in a frozen lake and you freak out, you would
Speaker 5: hopefully be able to try to like control your mind
Speaker 5: to be like, Okay, I've got this, I've done this before.
Speaker 5: Calm down. If you're so.
Speaker 1: The entire thing is just in case.
Speaker 5: It maybe.
Speaker 3: You didn't around cold lakes all the time.
Speaker 1: It was a perventage of you need to be prepared.
Speaker 1: I was in a cold week or a cold lake
Speaker 1: last week.
Speaker 3: I know what to do.
Speaker 5: Whatever I get it for the it will work if
Speaker 5: I actually do fall.
Speaker 8: In this conversation, you're living, Tim gray Bean is living,
Speaker 8: and damn, I'm not so sure we got it.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just I'm with you on it seems
Speaker 1: like a lot of work.
Speaker 5: And yeah, and then the tubs are really expensively.
Speaker 4: You know what I've seen I've seen people take like
Speaker 4: casket freezers, like like coffing style freezers, and they JB well,
Speaker 4: the bottles of no leaking gets out and they pour
Speaker 4: water and and and and regulate it to a temperature
Speaker 4: that it freezes.
Speaker 1: But just the top with the freezer with the freezer.
Speaker 3: So you just close the lid and the top freezes.
Speaker 1: And that seems rednecking off that I.
Speaker 3: Can do handle it, though, damn would get in he
Speaker 3: like put a foot in the ok.
Speaker 5: Getting in is the hard part.
Speaker 1: Do y'all walk around and snow without shoes on? No, well,
Speaker 1: there's probably some health benefits if you ever get caught
Speaker 1: out there, you'll be like, I'm prepared for this. Uh,
Speaker 1: got my guy over there.
Speaker 3: What's uh? What's your what's your favorite country song of
Speaker 3: old time?
