4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: Nashville and kind of your career journey now. But you know,

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: let's start with being in Mississippi. Did you, guys when

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: you came to Nashville come all together and Zach, I'll

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: start with you, or did you come one at a time?

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: What happened there?

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: We all moved up together, so we had kind of

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: planned from the beginning for us to all stick together

11
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: in terms of like school, So I graduated on time

12
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: because I'm normal.

13
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 3: Erica graduated high school early a year.

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: We were homeschooled in high school, and Delaney went to

15
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: community college for a couple of years in order to

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: keep us level. And we all moved here to quote

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: go to college. But that's not really what we moved

18
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: here because college.

19
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,959
Speaker 1: You're saying, you really like the reason was that we're

20
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: gonna move to Nashville and go to school, but you

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: really didn't, Well, we did, yeah, because that wasn't the

22
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: reason that you moved here. It was just the how

23
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: it got you here. I don't know because your parent,

24
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what your parents it was.

25
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 3: That ticket our dad got it. Our dad was an

26
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: electrical engineer for thirty five years. And you know, you

27
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: have to go to college. So we went to college.

28
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: Who's the youngest of all and how much how much

29
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: young are you the oldest?

30
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 3: Ade I'm the middle.

31
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: Okay, So with the what's the age gap between all

32
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: you guys.

33
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 4: There was like hardly an age gap.

34
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of weird if you all look the same.

35
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm saying. He was like, well,

36
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: she's going this time. So you guys are probably a

37
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: lot closer than normal siblings because you are kind of

38
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: living the same age at the same time.

39
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

40
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: And so Erica, you're the youngest, you're the youngest.

41
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 4: Yes, I am.

42
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: And so when they're like, all right, as soon as

43
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: you're ready, we're going to Nashville. We're all going together.

44
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: You felt good about that.

45
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

46
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 5: I was like totally ready in the moment. And now

47
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 5: whenever I look back and I'm like, wow, I was

48
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 5: barely eighteen. Whenever I moved to town, I'm like, that's

49
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 5: pretty cool.

50
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 4: Like look at me.

51
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: When you move here, Delany you all move and decide

52
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: to stay in the same you live together, I'm.

53
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 6: Assuming, And we lived in an eight hundred square foot apartment,

54
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 6: two bedroom, one bath. The laundry room was Zachary's closet.

55
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 6: It was like very close quarters.

56
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, that's on par though with people who

57
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: you know. There are two kinds of people that move

58
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: to town. People that have a whole bunch of money

59
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: and can move to town and focus on it because

60
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: they got all all mom and daddy's money. And there

61
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: are people like you, guys like me, they have to

62
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: move and go, well, we don't got a whole lot,

63
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: but we got nothing to lose, and it's a dream,

64
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: so we're just gonna move and hit it and live

65
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: in an eight hundred square foot apartment shack dwelling, you know,

66
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: shared a room.

67
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 6: And I'm surprised we didn't kill each other.

68
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, and do you guess we did good?

69
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 6: We did good.

70
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: You're not all living together now, though we are. We

71
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: are still really have you have you up to square footage?

72
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: It's a little bit okay, And but yes, you moved

73
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: here and Erica kind of what what was the mindset

74
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: of what you were going to do once you got here?

75
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: Was it, We're just gonna start playing all these shows,

76
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna write Like you move here, obviously you're gonna

77
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: go to school. But what what did you start doing professionally?

78
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 4: Mostly it was college.

79
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 5: We came and we were we were studying music in school,

80
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 5: so we were able to make a lot of connections

81
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 5: through doing that.

82
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 4: But we were just trying to grow our knowledge at

83
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 4: music and like get really good.

84
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 5: And figure out like what do we want to be

85
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 5: because we grew up doing a lot of like Christian

86
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 5: Gospel CCM kind of stuff, and then we were kind

87
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 5: of at a weird transition point where we were like

88
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 5: ready to shift, but we didn't know how to, and

89
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 5: so we just kind of homed in on our craft,

90
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 5: and by the time we were out of college, we

91
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 5: were like, all right, we're ready to go.

92
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: Were you guys like practicing playing together while you were

93
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: in college? Were you out doing any sort of like

94
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: how did you get better or to any as you

95
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: guys were together?

96
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 6: Well, we were already a band when we moved here.

97
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: But were you playing though when you're here in school?

98
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 6: Yeah? Okay, so this is a long story, give it

99
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 6: to me, now, let's go. We posted a video in

100
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 6: two thousand and nine when we were just kids and

101
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 6: didn't think anything about it, but it went viral on

102
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 6: YouTube and Facebook when Facebook was like the.

103
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: Cool thing of what what were you doing in the video?

00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 6: Jesus Messiah Tomlin and Chris Tomlin saw it and posted

105
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 6: it on his Twitter and something else YouTube maybe.

106
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: And then well, and that was also back when viral

107
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: meant something like now everything everything's viral?

108
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 5: Right, Viral was like one hundred thousand, it was, It

Speaker 5: was a lot, but yeah, but now viral's like five billion,

110
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 5: right right.

111
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: Right right, So it went so what happens to you

Speaker 1: anything happen?

114
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 6: Then we started playing churches every single weekend. Wow, we

115
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 6: were traveling from what two thousand and nine to twenty

116
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 6: fifteen when we moved here. And then when we got here,

117
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 6: we just kind of like focused on school. So we

118
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 6: played shows on campus and we were like the presidential

119
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 6: band at Lipscomb or whatever, So.

120
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: They what does that mean?

121
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 5: We got a scholarship really to be like kind of

122
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 5: the face of the music program at Lipscomb, so actually resenting.

123
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 2: Well, so like whenever they had new student dinners and stuff.

124
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 2: A lot of times they did it at the Country

125
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: Music Hall of Fame, which at the time for us,

126
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: which is still very cool. It was like, we're playing

127
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: at the Country Music Hall of Fame and.

128
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: So we uh, we would go and play a couple

129
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: of songs for the all.

130
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: Of the new incoming freshman students that they had, and

131
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 2: that was just that's what we did.

132
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: Most of the shows that we played.

133
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,239
Speaker 2: From twenty fifteen to two thousand, I'd say seventeen really

134
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: was Let's.

135
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 6: Come, which we did get to meet a lot of

139
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: But well, yeah, so you're so. That's how I was

140
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: wondering how you stayed sharp if you were just focused

141
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: on school, but school made you stay sharp because they

142
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: gave you a scholarship exactly representing what was it always

143
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: to be a trio and only a trio pretty much?

144
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 5: Yes, we've all like got our thing that we do,

145
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 5: Like I love to write and sing my like singer songwriter,

146
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 5: sad songs by myself and Zachary is an amazing guitar player,

147
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 5: and Delaney like could be Shania Twain if she wanted

148
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 5: to be.

149
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,119
Speaker 3: And she plays bass whenever we play like a full band.

150
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 5: Real yeah, but like why wouldn't we, you know what

151
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 5: I mean? Like we're siblings and we sound good together,

152
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 5: and we love each other as well.

153
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 6: We get along most of the time.

154
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: What do you guys do for percussion? If that happens?

155
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: We the only person we hire whenever we do a

156
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: full band thing as a drummer.

157
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: So you got all the instruments covered as far as

158
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: power acoustic even, I mean, you could just play and dang.

159
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: So how'd you feel about the bass? Was that?

160
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 6: Well? You know, I really didn't pick it no one.

161
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 6: I grew up playing mandolin actually because we were doing

162
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 6: the southern gospel kind of thing and we needed a

163
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 6: bass player. So in college I decid did to take

164
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 6: bass lessons, and then I actually liked it and stuck

165
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 6: with it.

166
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: I tried to play bass a little bit in high school.

167
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: We had the first kind of iteration of our terrible band,

168
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: and we had a good guy think can played guitar

169
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: pretty well, and so I was like, I guess I'll

170
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: just learn to play the bass, and it was tough

171
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: for me because there are a lot of places that

172
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: you have to play notes that notes don't normally go.

173
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 1: Whenever you feel like you're listening to the song, yeah,

174
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: that's not what the song sounds like. So I did

175
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: not take to it, and I was terrible, but I'm

176
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: not near as musical as you are. Did you feel

177
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: like you moved over to the bass pretty pretty easily?

178
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I don't know, did I I don't know?

179
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

180
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 3: I mean, well, Delanny played guitar before I did.

181
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 6: True, so that kind of helps you too.

182
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: Well, it's an interesting journey for you, guys, because now

183
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: you're still with Ja co Owen's Good Company Entertainment And

184
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: how did that happen to where you end up over

185
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: on Jake's roster where he's basically A and R.

186
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: It's really funny. A lot of our connections really go together.

187
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: It's like this is the connection made this connection, and

188
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: this connection made this one. And so we met Ron Fair,

189
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: who we've talked to you about before in college, so

190
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: he was our professor and he decided that he wanted

191
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: to give us a shot basically, and.

192
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 3: His his list of credits is so long, and so.

193
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: He we had a bunch of meetings at his studio

194
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: to workshop and see if anybody, if they gauge the

195
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: interest really in the town of what we do.

196
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 3: So he had Keith Gail.

197
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 2: Come over, who is manager at Good Company, and he said,

198
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: I love this.

199
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: We should get Jake over here.

200
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: So Jake came over and listened to graciously listen to

201
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,479
Speaker 2: our music, and they decided.

202
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 3: That they wanted to have us on the you know,

203
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 3: on the team.

204
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: And where did you play for him yourselves or do

205
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: you play him music?

206
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: Both?

207
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: Oh cool?

208
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 5: Both Ron had like a whole thing that he liked

209
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 5: to do. What did he call it, like the experiment

210
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 5: or something. It was something some like weird like crazy

211
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 5: mastermind term that he used. And he would like play

212
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 5: a snippet of the record and then he'd be like, okay,

213
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 5: now do it live.

214
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: Like it was so funny show that you guys could

215
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: sound like the record And was that the point of it? Yeah,

216
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: talk about your name for a second. Dave's Highway because

217
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: it actually means something people probably don't I didn't know.

218
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: I was like, who's Dave? Why is this road so cool? Basically?

219
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Dave's is our last name, and we're siblings,

220
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: and we talked about Dave's. Dave's Yes, so I get

221
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: I still get called Dave all the time.

222
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: So, hey, I'm Zach. Nice to meet you, Dave. You

223
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: were listening to me, So Dave's is our last name.

224
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: We decided that we from a very young age, that

225
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: we always wanted to have our family name involved in

226
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: whatever the We didn't never really, we didn't never really

227
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: decide that Dave's Highway was going to be the name

228
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: we stuck with for long term. It was kind of

229
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: something that we need to have a name, So let's

230
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: put a name together, kids. I think I was twelve

231
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 2: when we came up with it.

232
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: So you had the same even before, even in Nashville. Yeah,

233
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: were you touring the churches under Dave's Highway? Yeah, Oh,

234
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: you've had it for a long time.

235
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a long time. God since like two thousand

236
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: and eight, I think.

237
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 2: So we also decided we're Christians, and we we that's

238
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: a big part of our lives, and so we when

239
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: I was twelve, we decided that we wanted to incorporate

240
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: God in our in our message as well, and we

241
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: chose Highway because we always want to stay on the

242
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 2: high road. We want to not We never want to

243
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 2: be people that sell out for fame or money or

244
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: and if that stuff comes then great, we're you know,

245
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: we're welcoming of that, but you know, we want to

246
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: stay on the highway and we think that that's that's

247
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: what we're trying to do.

248
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: How would you describe your journey in the last couple

249
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: of years.

250
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 6: Uh, it's been the best years so much.

251
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the hardest too. Probably.

252
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 2: We're we're seeing all kinds of opportunities come up for

253
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: us in the near future that we're so thankful for.

254
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: And it's unexplainable really that.

255
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: We uh, we're.

256
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 2: Touring kind of right now, some some smaller venues. We

257
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: have ten dates at like ten roof around the United States,

258
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: and some of them are i think in cities where

259
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: you're where you're broadcasting. But and then in the fall

260
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 2: in September, Jake has invited us to come and join

261
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: his Fall tour.

262
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: That's crazy, op, Yeah, that's really cool. By the way, Indy, Detroit, Columbia, Raleigh,

263
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach, Orlando, Delray Beach, Florida, Fort Lauderdale. If you

264
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: want to get tickets to go watch them at d

265
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: the ten roof Dave's Highway dot Com. So you're right,

266
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: a lot of we're in a lot of these cities.

267
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: And then Jake has you guys coming out, which will

268
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: be super cool.

269
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're very excited.

270
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: That's exciting. And so you say, it's been awesome, but

271
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: it's also been really hard. Why has it been so

272
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: hard to lannel?

273
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 6: Mostly to do with our full time jobs and managing

274
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 6: like a forty hour week at work and then also

275
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 6: doing music too. It's it's it's exhausting, but we have

276
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 6: this system. Mondays are our music days and we all

277
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 6: take off of our jobs.

278
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: You can do that, so none of your school teachers.

279
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 6: No, absolutely no, we worked that into our contract at work.

280
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 6: But yeah, Mondays are our music days. We have co writes,

281
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 6: we record music, we you know, do whatever we need

282
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 6: to do. And then also you know things like this it.

283
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: Is Monday, so you guys are not say yeah, but

284
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: we would have. Thank you very much. I appreciate that,

285
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: and so the goal always is and I mean most

286
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: of my friends that moved here. I was with Jordan

287
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: Davis yesterday, just a similar story. Jordan and I are

288
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: very close, one of my really good friends, and he's

289
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: killing it right. Yeah, you just got an aunted for

290
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: best new our best male mail at the ACMs. Just

291
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: want a CMA. But he was living here five years,

292
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: bartending five years, which now you look back and you're like, okay,

293
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: but when you say five years, that is such when

294
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: you're in it, that feels like forever. And that's what

295
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: he did. He had to go and work just so

296
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: he could pay the bills, just so he could keep

297
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: on scratching and clawing away at the dream. You know,

298
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: not six months, not a month and a half, five years.

299
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: He had to. You know Haley Witters, Yep, she did everything.

300
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: She's been for ten years and it's finally cracked. And

301
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: so yeah, that's gonna be a real difficult part of

302
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: it because you have to pay the bills. So you

303
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Saturday, And if you're

304
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: not on the road, what if you're like, we got

305
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: to go, we have a show, we're doing the Tin Roof.

306
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: Are they gonna let you off?

307
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 6: Yeah? My boss is very lenient.

308
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: Are you hiding the tour dates from them? I don't

309
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: feel good.

310
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 4: No, I haven't told my job about Jake Turia.

311
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 2: Well, I.

312
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 6: Haven't requested off yet.

313
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: That's like a real life situation. Yeah, and the goal

314
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: is hopefully not have to deal with that part of

315
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,720
