And we all moved here to quote 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.080 go to college. But that's not really what we moved 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:51.080 here because college. 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:52.959 You're saying, you really like the reason was that we're 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.360 gonna move to Nashville and go to school, but you 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.600 really didn't, Well, we did, yeah, because that wasn't the 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.520 reason that you moved here. It was just the how 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.600 it got you here.

He was like, well, 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.800 she's going this time. So you guys are probably a 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.000 lot closer than normal siblings because you are kind of 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.679 living the same age at the same time. 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:37.360 Yeah. 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.080 And so Erica, you're the youngest, you're the youngest. 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:40.600 Yes, I am. 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:42.000 And so when they're like, all right, as soon as 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:43.720 you're ready, we're going to Nashville.

Wow, we 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.200 were traveling from what two thousand and nine to twenty 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.280 fifteen when we moved here. And then when we got here, 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.800 we just kind of like focused on school. So we 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:54.480 played shows on campus and we were like the presidential 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.080 band at Lipscomb or whatever, So. 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.400 They what does that mean? 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.520 We got a scholarship really to be like kind of 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:07.120 the face of the music program at Lipscomb, so actually resenting. 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:11.280 Well, so like whenever they had new student dinners and stuff. 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:12.719 A lot of times they did it at the Country 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.360 Music Hall of Fame, which at the time for us, 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.680 which is still very cool.

That's how I was 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:49.839 wondering how you stayed sharp if you were just focused 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.480 on school, but school made you stay sharp because they 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:56.040 gave you a scholarship exactly representing what was it always 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.520 to be a trio and only a trio pretty much? 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.440 Yes, we've all like got our thing that we do, 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.800 Like I love to write and sing my like singer songwriter, 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.040 sad songs by myself and Zachary is an amazing guitar player, 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.279 and Delaney like could be Shania Twain if she wanted 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:13.440 to be. 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.119 And she plays bass whenever we play like a full band. 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.560 Real yeah, but like why wouldn't we, you know what 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.800 I mean? Like we're siblings and we sound good together, 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.800 and we love each other as well. 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:27.159 We get along most of the time. 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:29.599 What do you guys do for percussion? If that happens? 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.800 We the only person we hire whenever we do a 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:34.000 full band thing as a drummer. 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:35.760 So you got all the instruments covered as far as 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.440 power acoustic even, I mean, you could just play and dang. 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.000 So how'd you feel about the bass? Was that? 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:46.400 Well? You know, I really didn't pick it no one. 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.680 I grew up playing mandolin actually because we were doing 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.479 the southern gospel kind of thing and we needed a 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.440 bass player. So in college I decid did to take 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:04.080 bass lessons, and then I actually liked it and stuck 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:04.320 with it. 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.200 I tried to play bass a little bit in high school. 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:09.640 We had the first kind of iteration of our terrible band, 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.960 and we had a good guy think can played guitar 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.160 pretty well, and so I was like, I guess I'll 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.760 just learn to play the bass, and it was tough 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.120 for me because there are a lot of places that 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.520 you have to play notes that notes don't normally go. 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.239 Whenever you feel like you're listening to the song, yeah, 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.640 that's not what the song sounds like. So I did 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.040 not take to it, and I was terrible, but I'm 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.040 not near as musical as you are. Did you feel 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:31.800 like you moved over to the bass pretty pretty easily? 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.480 Yeah, I mean I don't know, did I I don't know? 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:36.800 Yeah? 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.720 I mean, well, Delanny played guitar before I did. 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:41.600 True, so that kind of helps you too. 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.200 Well, it's an interesting journey for you, guys, because now 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:48.640 you're still with Ja co Owen's Good Company Entertainment And 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.200 how did that happen to where you end up over 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.000 on Jake's roster where he's basically A and R. 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.680 It's really funny. A lot of our connections really go together. 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:02.880 It's like this is the connection made this connection, and 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.320 this connection made this one. And so we met Ron Fair, 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:09.840 who we've talked to you about before in college, so 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:13.920 he was our professor and he decided that he wanted 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.800 to give us a shot basically, and. 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:21.000 His his list of credits is so long, and so. 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.600 He we had a bunch of meetings at his studio 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:31.480 to workshop and see if anybody, if they gauge the 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.480 interest really in the town of what we do. 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.360 So he had Keith Gail. 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:43.199 Come over, who is manager at Good Company, and he said, 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:43.880 I love this. 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:45.640 We should get Jake over here. 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.160 So Jake came over and listened to graciously listen to 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.479 our music, and they decided. 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:53.960 That they wanted to have us on the you know, 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:54.440 on the team. 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.920 And where did you play for him yourselves or do 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:57.720 you play him music? 0:08:57.840 --> 0:08:58.080 Both? 0:08:58.360 --> 0:08:58.760 Oh cool? 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.400 Both Ron had like a whole thing that he liked 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:05.400 to do.

You 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.920 were listening to me, So Dave's is our last name. 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.320 We decided that we from a very young age, that 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.240 we always wanted to have our family name involved in 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:57.360 whatever the We didn't never really, we didn't never really 0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.880 decide that Dave's Highway was going to be the name 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.400 we stuck with for long term. It was kind of 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.160 something that we need to have a name, So let's 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.800 put a name together, kids. I think I was twelve 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:08.599 when we came up with it. 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.720 So you had the same even before, even in Nashville. Yeah, 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.120 were you touring the churches under Dave's Highway? Yeah, Oh, 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:15.760 you've had it for a long time. 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.360 Yeah, it's a long time. God since like two thousand 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.120 and eight, I think. 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.959 So we also decided we're Christians, and we we that's 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.000 a big part of our lives, and so we when 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.480 I was twelve, we decided that we wanted to incorporate 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.360 God in our in our message as well, and we 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.280 chose Highway because we always want to stay on the 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.960 high road. We want to not We never want to 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:46.839 be people that sell out for fame or money or 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.160 and if that stuff comes then great, we're you know, 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.120 we're welcoming of that, but you know, we want to 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.920 stay on the highway and we think that that's that's 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:56.640 what we're trying to do. 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.480 How would you describe your journey in the last couple 0:10:58.520 --> 0:10:58.960 of years. 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.760 Uh, it's been the best years so much. 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.200 Yeah, but the hardest too. Probably. 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.320 We're we're seeing all kinds of opportunities come up for 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:12.160 us in the near future that we're so thankful for. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.920 And it's unexplainable really that. 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:18.520 We uh, we're. 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:22.000 Touring kind of right now, some some smaller venues. We 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.400 have ten dates at like ten roof around the United States, 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:26.920 and some of them are i think in cities where 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.600 you're where you're broadcasting. But and then in the fall 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.320 in September, Jake has invited us to come and join 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:34.720 his Fall tour. 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:39.720 That's crazy, op, Yeah, that's really cool. By the way, Indy, Detroit, Columbia, Raleigh, 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:43.600 Myrtle Beach, Orlando, Delray Beach, Florida, Fort Lauderdale. If you 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.360 want to get tickets to go watch them at d 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.480 the ten roof Dave's Highway dot Com. So you're right, 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:49.839 a lot of we're in a lot of these cities. 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.000 And then Jake has you guys coming out, which will 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:52.680 be super cool. 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.840 Yeah, we're very excited. 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.560 That's exciting. And so you say, it's been awesome, but 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.600 it's also been really hard. Why has it been so 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:01.679 hard to lannel? 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.880 Mostly to do with our full time jobs and managing 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:09.720 like a forty hour week at work and then also 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.160 doing music too. It's it's it's exhausting, but we have 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.160 this system. Mondays are our music days and we all 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:17.760 take off of our jobs. 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.319 You can do that, so none of your school teachers. 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:24.960 No, absolutely no, we worked that into our contract at work. 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.840 But yeah, Mondays are our music days. We have co writes, 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.480 we record music, we you know, do whatever we need 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:34.280 to do. And then also you know things like this it. 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.360 Is Monday, so you guys are not say yeah, but 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.000 we would have. Thank you very much. I appreciate that, 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.080 and so the goal always is and I mean most 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.320 of my friends that moved here. I was with Jordan 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.200 Davis yesterday, just a similar story. Jordan and I are 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:49.920 very close, one of my really good friends, and he's 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.280 killing it right. Yeah, you just got an aunted for 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.360 best new our best male mail at the ACMs. Just 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.200 want a CMA. But he was living here five years, 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:02.880 bartending five years, which now you look back and you're like, okay, 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.600 but when you say five years, that is such when 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.960 you're in it, that feels like forever. And that's what 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.679 he did. He had to go and work just so 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.559 he could pay the bills, just so he could keep 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:17.280 on scratching and clawing away at the dream. You know, 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:21.640 not six months, not a month and a half, five years. 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:25.960 He had to. You know Haley Witters, Yep, she did everything. 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.480 She's been for ten years and it's finally cracked. And 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.920 so yeah, that's gonna be a real difficult part of 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:35.199 it because you have to pay the bills. So you 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:40.800 work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Saturday, And if you're 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.199 not on the road, what if you're like, we got 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:44.680 to go, we have a show, we're doing the Tin Roof. 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:45.600 Are they gonna let you off? 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:48.959 Yeah? My boss is very lenient. 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:53.040 Are you hiding the tour dates from them? I don't 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:53.600 feel good. 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:59.200 No, I haven't told my job about Jake Turia. 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:00.680 Well, I. 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:03.839 Haven't requested off yet. 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.480 That's like a real life situation. Yeah, and the goal 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.440 is hopefully not have to deal with that part of 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.720 real life. You moved to a different part of real life. 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.000 Do you guys feel like you're getting closer? 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.480 Yes, yeah, every day though it's a grind. 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:19.280 Can you see it like a light at the end 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:19.800 of the tunnel. 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:22.960 Yeah, I mean it's it's always there. 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.080 It's not it's not right in front of us right now, 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:26.680 but we see it and we're running towards it as 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.080 fast as we can, trying to do everything we can 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.840 to get there.
