1
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 1: Welcome to season two of Unsigned and Independent. We have

2
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: another episode and another season of this and Kevin kind

3
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: of restate your goal for why you started this show.

4
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: So the goal was when I first came into Nashville,

5
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: I saw these bands, artists that I thought were really good,

6
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: and I didn't understand why I've never heard of this

7
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: person or this group, and I wanted to get them

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: on to talk about, you know, the late nights of Broadway.

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm playing late, getting up early, and just the whole

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: grind of the industry without the backing of a label

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: or a record company, or a management team or which

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,639
Speaker 1: all the things I hope to get right and want

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: to be coolest to see some of these some of

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: these folks develop into signed and not independent exactly because

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: when we started the Bobbycast a long time ago, that

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: was a deal. We had a lot of artists on

17
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: and songwriters that later became stars I met. I think

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: about Ryan Hurd, who was just a songwriter. We talked

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: to him, is all right, new guy heard? You know,

20
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: he would talk about how hard it was to write

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: songs get a publishing deal. But this is what you're doing.

22
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: Even a step farther back, it's like a prequel. He

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: had an early Bobby cast. And so who'd you talk

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: with this time? This is Tara Fister. Why Tara? Because

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: I met her through somebody I had on the first

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: season last year. Actually his name is Graham, and he

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: kind of told me about her, introduced me to her,

28
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: came across her stuff, and she had this presence about her,

29
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: has this presence about her. She's got bright hair, bright clothes, tattoos,

30
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: she's got this presence on stage where just like, I

31
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: need to know more about this girl. She good live, Yeah,

32
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: it's great. So you talk with her. She's from Saint Louis,

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: she's been here for ten years or so. Does she

34
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: have the frustration of, hey, why hasn't this happened for

35
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: me yet? No? She has such a good outlook on

36
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna do what I need to do

37
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: and everything else would kind of take care of itself.

38
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: She's had her frustrated days or her weeks, you know,

39
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: taking care of everything, funding everything, managing everything, but overall

40
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: she's got a good outlook on the bigger picture. All right.

41
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: Here we go, Unsigned and Independent with Kevin O'Connell aka

Speaker 1: to Nashville. It'll be ten years this July, I believe. Wow, Yeah, Forest,

Speaker 1: as a fireworks are going off. Really yeah, so it's

51
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: a little it's a cute old story. That's awesome. I

52
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: saw the fireworks show here a couple of years ago,

53
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: and it's probably the best I've ever seen. Yeah, as

54
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: long as the smoke doesn't blur it out right? Yea,

55
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: that is true. What was your mindset coming in from

56
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: Saint Louis to Nashville? Where you like, oh my gosh,

57
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: I want to be all over the radio. I want to,

58
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, sign with this purse or this label and

59
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: do this and this or was it kind of just

60
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: a freelancing let's see what happens, let's move and just

61
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: chase a dream here. Yeah, well I had. I had

62
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: just turned twenty one. I worked at a Ford dealership, okay,

63
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: And I was coming to Nashville about once a month

64
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: to do a writer's round and try to create some

65
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: type of circle or community or just you know, get

66
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: my feet wet. And one night after a writer's round,

67
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: I was hanging out with a group of friends and

68
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: we were going to the Preds game. So we were

69
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: standing in Rippy's and just standing there, you know, taking

70
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: in the scene, and a guy on stage whose name

71
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: was Greg Humphrey. He just pointed me out in the

72
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: crowd and he was like, you're a singer. And at

73
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: that time I had had enough beverages where I was like,

74
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: hell yeah, I'm a singer. And he got me on

75
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: stage and I sang a couple of songs and he

76
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: through the tip jog at me and he was like,

77
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: if you can come back with this tip jugful, I'll

78
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: have a job for you. I was like deal. So

79
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: I ran the tip jar and I came back and

80
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: I gave him my card and he called me. Two

81
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: weeks later. I went to the game, went back to

82
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, you know, went about my life, and he

83
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: called me about two weeks later and he was like,

84
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: what are you doing for cmafest And I was like,

85
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: whatever you tell me, I'm doing. So he's like, oh,

86
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: why don't you come down you can play with my band,

87
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: blahlah blah. So I came down two weeks later, played

88
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: with this band, went back home, and then he called

89
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: me again about two weeks later and said, if you

90
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: want to move, you have a job. Wow. So I

91
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: packed up everything, which was like a bag of shoes,

92
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: a bag of clothes, my guitar, a microphone in my

93
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: car and moved like a week later and slept on

94
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: one of my girlfriend's couches for a couple of weeks,

95
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 1: and then segued into somebody's apartment that the roommate situation

96
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: didn't work out, and then into a house. And here

97
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: I am ten years later. Do you like the idea

98
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: that it was just so sudden and like you had

99
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: to make a decision right then and there, almost as

100
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: if you didn't have to maybe build up too and

101
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: think about it too much, or just like, you know what,

102
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: why not, let's do it? Well, to be if I

103
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: was being honest with myself, I would say that I

104
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: always knew, even when I was aty biddy, like when

105
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: people would ask me when I was little, you know,

106
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: what do you want to do? I would always answer,

107
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: I want to be the girl in music videos, and

108
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: I meant the singer, like, you know, the not the

109
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: main character, but me watching like rebuff on the TV

110
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: or whatever. Okay, I want to be the girl in

111
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: music videos. And so I think there was no really

112
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: thinking having to be done. I've always known in my

113
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: core that no matter what I was doing, it would

114
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: be revolved around music. What surprises me the most about

115
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: it is my parents just looked at me and you're like, okay,

116
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: see you later. I was that. When I think about it,

117
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh. I was so naive. I

118
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: had never lived out in my house. I had never

119
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: paid bills, Like even when I was in college, I

120
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: was going to a university right on the road, so

121
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: I had lived with my parents. Like there was never

122
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: any I just looked at my parents, was like, I

123
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: think when we move Nashville. My mom was like, great,

124
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: we'll see you later. Like, oh, okay, bye. Were you

125
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: did you think she might have be a little reluctant

126
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: to it, either of your parents like, oh, I don't know,

127
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: this is such a good idea. You don't know if

128
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna really make it or are they always been

129
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,119
Speaker 1: that supportive? They've always been really supportive. I was. I'd

130
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: like to think that I was always pretty straightforward with

131
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: them too. I wasn't a big head like. I wasn't

132
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: a you know, I wasn't sneaking out and lying and

133
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: do whatever. So and they've known, you know, my first

134
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: job was working in a music store, and I started

135
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: taking piano lessons when I was itty bitty and took

136
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: every lesson you can think of from there on out,

137
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: and it just I think it was a very natural

138
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: segue into where I am at now. Was music always

139
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: a big thing for you? Yes, it's um a little

140
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: bit of everything. So I have a My dad is

141
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: one of six and all of his all of his sisters.

142
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: He's there's three boys and three girls, all of them saying.

143
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: My grandma plays killer piano. I just have vivid memories

144
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: of show tunes when dinner was over in washing dishes,

145
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: and all of my aunts would split into harmonies and

146
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: sing Oklahoma or Carousel or whatever was in their mind

147
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: that day. UM so kind of started there, and I

148
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: just my mom always joked about that, I kind of

149
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: came out singing my brother was in theater. My sister

150
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: was a big rockhead. My dad loved the rat Pack,

151
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: my mom was into country so and I was the youngest.

152
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: So I was just kind of a little a little

153
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: melting pot. Oh wow, okay, yeah, youngest, just a brother

154
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: and a sister. Okay, so youngest of three? Are you

155
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: the only artist in the I guess you guys all

156
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: have some musical talent involved. My brother does. So it's

157
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: my sister Lee, my brother Stephen, and myself, and I'm

158
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: Stephen is a theater kid, so he did it, you know,

159
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: an adult as well. And he's phenomenal. He's one of

160
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: those guys that, like, they always told him that his

161
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: biggest challenge and I would be deciding if he wants

162
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: to build and paint the stage or be on it. Wow. Yeah,

163
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: he can do anything. Wow. That's awesome. So you're not

164
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: the most talented in the family, or are you equally talented?

165
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: I'd like to say equally talented, different tastes. It's like

166
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: apples and oranges. You know, we're still we're still the

167
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: same things. You mentioned Reebo. You'd watch her on TV

168
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: growing up. Who are some of your other idols or musicians?

169
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: Bands that you looked up to and maybe still look

170
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: up to well when I was little. It's interesting I

171
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: was kind of forced. Sounds harsh, but it wasn't harsh.

172
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: I just I wasn't allowed to watch MTV, so really

173
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: the only thing I could watch was CMT that had

174
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: music involved, you know. So, um, Lean Walmock was huge

175
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: for me. Leon Womack was kind of my like my lady.

176
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: She's still my lady crush, but at this point in

177
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: my life, I think someone who has a huge phone

178
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: over me. I love the Food Fighters, I love Billy

179
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: Joel Um. Those two are kind of my main like

180
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: they can and honestly, I'm am a pretty huge John

181
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: Mayer fan. And I know people can talk all sorts

182
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: of smack, but I really do enjoy his guitar playing

183
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: like I just love his tone. Anything he does, I'm like, yeah,

184
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm there, I'm right there with you. He has an

185
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: album that kind of changed the way that I started

186
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: playing that I started singing um just listening to him

187
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: The Search for Everything, and I had to still feel

188
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: like a man. Um. I love that whole album, so

189
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: that's awesome. I've never seen him. I would love to

190
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: see him he's fantastic. He really is. My friend. Garrett

191
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: and I went Garrett throwing. He's a fellow artist as well,

192
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: um Wisconsin guy. But we made the agreement going in.

193
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: I was like, neither of us is going to talk

194
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: like at all, and he was like, I agree. So

195
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: we literally just went in there and like stood next

196
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: to each other and just like consumed the entire show

197
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: in silence. It was great and soaked at all and

198
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: stoked at all. I mean, yeah, that's a great idea.

199
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: I don't think you've ever even thought about doing something

200
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: like that. But it's almost like one of these we're like,

201
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to live in the moment

202
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: right now, right here. I don't want to talk to you.

203
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't, Yeah, I just want to act like I'm

204
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: sitting in my car listening to them by myself or

205
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: something like that. Well, and I've learned that the older

206
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: I get and the more I can kind of like

207
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: sit and reflect on myself and who I am and

208
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: how I've grown, I've noticed that I just I really

209
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: cannot concentrate if there's music in the room, Like if

210
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: there's music going on, if it's if even if it's

211
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: a bar downtown and people are trying to talk or

212
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,599
Speaker 1: have conversations and you know, mingle my brain. I'm just

213
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: watching the music. I'm just I'm like, you know. So

214
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: it's nice to have concert buddies that kind of have

215
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: the same mindset. You just go in. They're like, Okay,

216
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: we're both going to thoroughly enjoy this standing next to

217
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: each other, and that's it. And as an arty talk later,

218
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: are you, like, are you watching or listening? I should say,

219
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: more than anything listening and thinking? Are you are you

220
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: hearing everything going on? Like you're not just hearing a song?

221
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: If that makes sense? Are you kind of breaking it

222
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: down in your head? Oh yeah, I think yeah, because

223
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: you have an ear for it and you're in it

224
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: like I'm not. I don't play any I'm not musically

225
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: talented at all. Yeah, so I wouldn't understand like I

226
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: would some other things like you would with it. So

227
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: it's just interesting to me. If you sit there and

228
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: listen to it, you're probably listening to a whole different

229
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: sound then say, I would be, Um, yeah, I think

230
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: that's a fair statement. But I also think, you know,

231
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: with this being what I do, it's also nice to

232
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: watch other people, you know, even the visuals. You look

233
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, well, you know, like how am

234
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: I consuming this? Like well, obviously like auditorian visual, So

235
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: how would I've done that? Would I have put that

236
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: piano there? Would I have set the stage that way?

237
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: Would I have these lights at this time? Was that

238
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: confetti on point? You know? Like whatever it is you're doing,

239
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: big or small, I just like to like research how

240
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: other people present their passion. Do you find yourself It's

241
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: funny and bring that up because I'll do that with

242
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: like TV shows or radio shows, you know, working in

243
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: the industry, and I'll be like, well, where is the producer?

244
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: Why isn't he telling this person to do this or whatever?

245
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: That with movies all the time, now I'm like, oh,

246
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: look at this shot. I'm like, no, Tara, I get

247
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: consumed exactly. You're not enjoying the movie now, you're just

248
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: looking at the background. So that's what I was going

249
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: to ask. Can you do you think it like kind

250
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: of hinders your enjoyment of a show or no? Is

251
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: it more of an art to you that you're just

252
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: trying to figure out your mind? I think it's more

253
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: of an art, and I think something else. So I've

254
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: made my New Year's resolution was to see one show

255
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: a month, because I think when you're a creator, when

256
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: you're making music constantly, you forget to go get it,

257
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: like you forget to go get it in your in

258
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: your blood again, and you kind of forget, you know,

259
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I've got to play that night, Like

260
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go see this show, you know,

261
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: But every time I leave a concert, I'm always so

262
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: happy I did that. I'm always like, oh man, I

263
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: needed that. Like I think as an artist, you forget,

264
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, you're like giving, giving, giving, but you forget

265
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: that when you go to the concert that artist is

266
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: giving to you, like you fill your cut back up,

267
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: and you forget that you can do that at concerts,

268
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: even in small venues. You know, there's so many great

269
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: stages in Nashville that are itty bitty that you can

270
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: just go and you're like, oh man, I didn't even

271
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: know I needed that. You just walk out of there

272
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: going like I feel different than I did walking in.

273
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: You have a very profound look to you where it's

274
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: like you walk in and you have this bright hair

275
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: and these tattoos and a lot of your outfits are

276
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: very bright and colorful. Yeah, And is that something that

277
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: you have always done throughout your life? Like growing up

278
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: as a teenager, did you always have different How many

279
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: hair color shade have you had? Do you think probably

280
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: most of them? Is that something that you dive into

281
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: and you just really enjoy just bringing out your personality

282
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: with it, whether it's your tattoos or your outfits or

283
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: your hair because I love it. I mean you walk

284
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: in and you just scream confidence. Oh yeah, so it

285
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: just that's what Okay, So maybe it's just a front

286
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: and then no, I think with each passing year, I

287
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: definitely settle more and more into it. I think it's

288
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: who I've always been. I think as a teenager, you

289
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: know you're always you don't really I don't think majority

290
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: of us know exactly who we are as teenagers. We

291
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: have a vague outline, right, yes, but m yeah, No,

292
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: the colors have always been part of me. I enjoy colors.

293
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: I don't have. I like a nice solid black dress

294
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 1: every once in a while, but other than matt, I'm

295
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: whatever catches my eye that day is going on. So

296
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: and a lot of times I don't think they really

297
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: make a whole lot of sense, but my friends tell

298
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: me I look cool, So that's great. Thanks. Since you

299
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: moved to Nashville and you started playing music right away,

300
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: has this always been your source of income for you?

301
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: Or have you had to have multiple jobs at some points? Like?

302
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: What's that been like for you? Um, there was about

303
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: a year where I bartended, but um, that was mostly

304
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: because I wanted to bartend. I'd never bartended before and

305
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: I just woke up and was like, I want to

306
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: dry bartending one day. So I did that for about

307
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 1: a year and um no, But other than that, IVE

308
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: always been music full time since I was twenty one. Okay,

309
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: do you think that's pretty rare for you too? Because

310
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: I talk to some people and they'll be like, yeah,

311
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: I've had to serve for a year, like had to

312
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: serve or had to barten, or had to do another

313
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: job during the day and then perform at night. So

314
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: do you find yourself pretty lucky are you? Or do

315
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: you find other people as well who can come here

316
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: and make a living just doing music from the get go?

317
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: I think it really depends on your personality. Depends on

318
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: your personality and your work ethic, and you're honestly your

319
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: ability to live at a lower income at moments in

320
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: your life, like if you have the ability to go like, Okay,

321
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: well you know my bank account is has four dollars

322
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: in it, but I know I'm going to work tonight,

323
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: and I know I'm working this weekend, and so I

324
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: just have to make four dollars. I have to not

325
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: freak out at having four dollars. If you can have

326
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: the wherewithal to just like chill yourself out, you'll be fine.

327
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: I've always eaten. My dad has a great saying of

328
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: like what did He always used to tell some real

329
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: It was something along the lines of like you may

330
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: never have excess, but somehow you will always have enough.

331
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know if that's like a blind faith

332
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: thing or if it's just like a you know, you

333
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: get what you put out. But I have always had enough,

334
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: and there's been moments of like, you know, holy that

335
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: was a big paycheck. So I'd like more of those.

336
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: Anybody's listening, Yeah, Universe, if you're out there, I'd like

337
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: some more of those places. If you get into existence, yes,

338
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm here, show me which door to walk through when

339
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: you hit those low moments, whether it's monetarily or professionally.

340
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: Have you had a moment where you're like, I don't

341
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: know if this is what I want to do anymore? No,

342
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: you've never gotten there. No, I've had moments of like,

343
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: I may have moments of going like, man, what am

344
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: I doing with my life? But it always resolves to

345
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: exactly what you're supposed to be doing, and it's just

346
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: not easy. So you're gonna be uncomfortable. You are human,

347
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna be uncomfortable. You're gonna have self doubt, You're

348
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: going to compare yourself set time, you know, to those

349
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: around you and wonder why you didn't get that call

352
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: do it like I can do it, and I can't

353

381
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: year and I feel going into this year where I'm like, Okay,

382
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: I understand why this takes a team, because sometimes I

383
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: just kind of look around. I'm like, ah, there's a

384
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: lot of things I need to do right now. But

387
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: to afford to have that team, I will be understanding

388
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: of their situations. You know, it won't be so expected.

389
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: It'll be more like a, Okay, it happens that, Yeah

390
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: that was weird. Let's you know, segue this way or

391
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: whatever we have to do. And it's allowed me to

392
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: just learn the business, you know five Like what do

393
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: they call it? Baptism by fire? So um, yeah, that's

394
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: an interesting perspective. So if anything goes wrong in the

395
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: future and you have a team, you're like, well, I've

396
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: been there, I understand. Here's how we can either fix it,

397
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: or you can understand and not just yell at them

398
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: right within reason, or I have my feelings hurt or

399
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: be frustrated. You know, it's like frustration can only get

400
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: you so far, and then it's like you just have

401
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: to do something about it, you know, right, right, So

Speaker 1: I want to do it in but I'm looking now

416
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: for those people to help me execute, and I am

417
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm just really excited to see what happens. Do you

418
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,040

00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: going to So I've got ten songs. I'm going to

423
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: release them single for single to get my wear and

424
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: tear out of it. But I've also told myself with

425
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: this project because my first experience recording my first album,

426
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: I was so like deadline, deadline, deadline, which I was

427
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: only doing to myself. Nobody was doing this to me.

428
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: I was just gonna like, no, I want it by

429
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: this time. I want to do it, dear. And and

430
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: I've learned that listening back to those songs, I'm like,

431
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: those things that bothered me. Even though I was like, oh,

432
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal, I was like, they still

433
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: bother me. Till this day. I listened to those songs

434
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: and all I hear are the parts that bother me.

435
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: So I've told myself that I'm allowing myself to take

436
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: as much time as this is where I know that

437
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: it is exactly what I want. And although it's more

438
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: money and it's more time and it's time's not real, right,

439
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: let's talk about it. Clocks are made up. This is

00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: talking me off the ledge all the time. It's hard

457
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: to be patient though. It's like that old saying where

458
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: if you go buy a car or a house or something,

459
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: the first one you look like like, oh I love this,

460
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: I want to get this, and you're like, well, no,

461
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: let's look at a couple of other ones for yeah,

462
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: and if you still like that one, then we'll come

463
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: back to that one, right. Yeah. It's kind of like

464
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: that same mentality where you're like, you can't just jump

465
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: on something and then just get it out there or

466
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: buy it, purchase it and then be like, well, I

467
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: probably should have thought about this little hard Yeah, and

468
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: that previous album you're talking about is your self titled

469
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: debut album? Correct? It was? Yeah, twenty nine years of learning.

470
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: That's just how I described it, Okay. Yeah, I was

471
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: just self titled. I was Tarilyn Pisto. Okay, And that's

472
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: that pretty much self explanatory. Twenty nine years of learning

473
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: and stuff you learned over the years, and yeah, have

474
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: a lot of fun and a lot of it was

475
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: just that was kind of a coming of age album.

476
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: I think those songs are even when I play them now,

477
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: although a few of them have kind of evolved for

478
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: me in my mind, but m or like change meaning

479
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, not what they once were. I thought it

480
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: was interesting because they're three songs, are Hell raisor Scars

481
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: at Home. All three to me were totally different than

482
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: each other. Yeah, Like you had your the hell raisors

483
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: like this old almost like a blues old, like your

484
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: raising hell kind of girl, I'm a badass girl kind

485
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: of thing, and then the Scars kind of had like

486
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: the rock feel to it, and then Home is like

487
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: this homeie feel to it, So yeah, I thought it

488
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: was interesting, and all three are great, by the way.

489
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: So if you're listening to this, go stream that. Go

490
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: check it out now. And is that something that you

491
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: aim for is to is it a song that comes

492
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: to you and whatever however it comes out. You're not

493
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: really aiming at a certain genre or a certain feel

494
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: to it. It's just like this is how I listen

495
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: to it, is that I hear it and it comes

496
00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: out yeah, okay, Yeah, I've I stand firmly on the

497
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: ground of like a good song as a good song period.

498
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: And if I feel as if I were to create

499
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: music to fit in a certain genre, I would be

500
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: denying myself. As I explained to you earlier, I grew

501
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: up around everything. So I feel like if I tried

502
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: to whether I go like, oh, this is just gonna

503
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: be a rock album, or this is just going to

504
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: be a country album, or this is just going to

505
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: be a roots album, or you know, however it would go.

506
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: And maybe I can talk to someone who knows more

507
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: than I am that or more than I do that

508
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: can kind of help me, you know, round out the edges.

509
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: But I just try to live by a good song

510
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 1: as a good song, and if you can play an

511
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: acoustic and it stands on its own, it's a good song.

512
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: So whether it's country or it's rock, I'm going to

513
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: put it out, you know, because somewhere down the line

514
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: someone's going to listen to it and go like I

515
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: needed that today. Thanks. I like it. I like the versatility,

518
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: in all chasing the dream, live in a life that

519
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: doesn't really there's not much security in it. Everyone knows

00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: know what it looks like, and you don't have to

530
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: room you're in. But if you are sincerely doing something,
