9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: They are. You just sit back and relax. Wait about

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen minutes you'll start crying. You won't even notice it.

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: I know that's the problem. I feel like I'm too comfortable.

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: All about getting comfortable. I'm gonna watch a movie, but

Speaker 1: couple of times. Yeah, briefly, yeah, briefly, but but we've

30

00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: to twenty seven, So meeting aid somewhere mid twenties. I guess.

34
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: So Lanco is a combination of a couple of words, right,

35
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: isn't it, Like yeah, it's a lancastering company. Yeah. From

36
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: what I remember, somebody worked there and that's where you

37
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: guys like practiced and got together. Yeah. Well, why so

38
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: the band name comes from my name is Brandon Lancaster,

39
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: So I uh so, you know that's not whouse. There

40
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: is a warehouse in the story, but it's not not Lancaster.

41
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: Um my name is brand Lancaster. So you know, early

42
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: days in Nashville and uh, well, I'm trying to think

43
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: how far to go back. I met Tripp, who's the

44
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: drummer in Lanco and he worked at a carpet warehouse,

45
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: and uh I met him in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I was

46
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: going to school out there, and we both played a

47
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: music festival there in different bands. And I'm from Nashville. Originally,

48
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: I grew up outside of Nashville that you know here

49
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: that is oh, I know, which is fine. I didn't

50
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: know that was rare until because when you grow up here,

51
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: everyone's from here. I grew up in Smyrna South in Nashville,

52
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: and uh, yeah, we you grew up here, everyone's from here.

53
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: And then I went to school and when I came back,

54
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, started making new friends and meeting people, and

55
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: everyone would ask where I was from. And that question

56
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: was so strange to me because I was like, I'm yeah,

57
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: where are you from? And they're always good from here.

58
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, where are you from? What are you doing?

59
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: More people aren't from here? Oh, essentially in the business

60
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 1: that we're in. Absolutely. Yeah, more like aren't from from

61
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: I know, I've met very few people that are from here. Um,

62
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, but I went to school in Chattanooga. So

63
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: when I moved back, Tripp was moving to Nashville the

64
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: same week I was. So, you know, I I've been

65
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: writing songs, I mean virtually in my whole life. And

66
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: uh and and so I told me, I'll have the

67
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: slew of songs and I want to put a band together,

68
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: and kind of gave me the idea and and so

69
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: we put it to get you know, my name is

70
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: Brenda Lancaster. So it started as you know, Lancaster and

71
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: and something, and we thought we'd build a band route around.

72
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: Let me ask you about that. Let me stop you

73
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: for a second, because I always thought, you know, all

74
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: the guys in Dave Matthews band, m Dave Matthews band,

75
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: like Dave Matthews, his band bon Jovi, John bon Jovi,

76
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: nobody else's name Van Halen. Yeah, I got a couple

77
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: of Van Hanlon. You know what, how come is it?

78
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: Because you're the one that came up with the idea

79
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: and he was just cool with it because the last

80
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: name is not company, is it. Yeah, Uh, it actually is. No,

81
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: it's not. Um Yeah, we were duos Lancaskop. No. It

82
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: was I think the way it started, you know, at first,

83
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: like he was in a different band and I had

84
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: written a bunch of songs. It was the thing where

85
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: I could have done a solo project if I wanted to.

86
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: I could have just you know, made it mine and

87
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: and hired guys out and you know, kind of had

88
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: a revolving door, which is what happened Nashville lot and

89
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: early on that's kind of what I thought might happen,

90
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: you know, because I had these songs, and you just

91
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: don't know how long you're gonna keep a guitar player

92
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: or a bass player because everyone's working and has to

93
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: you know, kind of go where the money is sometimes.

94
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: But early on it was, you know, this thing where

95
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: I wrote these songs, but I want to build a

96
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: band around it. I did look at Tom Petty and

97
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,119
Speaker 1: the Heartbreakers, and I did look at at Dave Matthews band,

98
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: where there is a primary songwriter and there's this guy

99
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: that came with the songs, but there's a band around

100
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: it that makes it unique and has its own sound.

101
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: And when you keep those same guys together, like even

102
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: like a Zach Brown band, you know what, it has

103
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: a unique sound because they've had time. The same guys

104
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: have had time to craft that sound and and and

105
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: build what they're doing, and and also go through hard

106
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: time together, go through great times together, um and and

107
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: so early on, I didn't know what it would look like,

108
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't know if it would be a

109
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: band band or if it would be this Zach Brown

110
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: band or Dave Matthews band, and guys might come in

111
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: and come out, and you keep hiring and you keep

112
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: adding people. I didn't know at all what it would

113
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: look like. I just knew we had Lancaster and then

114
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: if Tripp wanted to be in this band, we could

115
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: have a company and start building it. And that was

116
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: also where the name change kind of came though, was

117
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: when we shortened it. It was because it was the

118
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: same guys for for a long time, and you know,

119
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: we had gone a year and then we had just

120
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: all become friends. We're like, all right, this is a band,

121
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: so but people know this is Lancastering Company. But let's

122
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: shorten it to more of a band name kind of

123
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: sound selfless thing, because Landco does not sound like random

124
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: like guys. It doesn't so selfless thing to make that

125
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: move to go Lanco, because if it were me, I'd

126
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: have been like, we're gonna call ourselves brand Caster, We're

127
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: gonna change the name to brand cater soever. But you know,

128
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: I think that's uh that you two together. Well what

129
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: the other two guys come from? Though? So there it's

130
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: a five piece altogether. So I so Trip and I

131
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: were jamming and which one of you guys do I

132
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: not know? Then? You I've never met all five of

133
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: you at once. I don't think it's the one that

134
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: you don't like, because that's the one I haven't met.

135
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: Um who probably I mean probably Tripped, like even though

136
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: you've met him at now, I'm kidding Tripping. Our best

137
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: friends and obviously have the most history together. But we yeah,

138
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: there's five us all together. And we had you know,

139
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: Trip myself, and we literally would just sit and he

140
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: played drums and I played guitar, and it's like, man,

141
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: we need more instruments, um, and so we Uh. I

142
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: met this guy's songwriting competition that went to MTSU and

143
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: we started talking. I was like, I'm putting this band together.

144
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: Do you know any guitar players, Let's start there, and

145
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: he gave me a list of guitar players and going

146
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: back to kind of the session player thing, I met

147
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,119
Speaker 1: one guy who was awesome and he was great, good vibe,

148
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: good hanging. And I was like, Oh, this guy is awesome.

149
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: I can't wait from the play with us. He was like, yeah,

150
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, my day rates two fifty a day, and

151
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: I immediately was like, oh, that may not work, which

152
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: means he's not investing coming in low with the high.

153
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: He just wants to pay right right. He's a player,

154
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: which he deserves. I mean, you know, he had done

155
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: a lot of things and play with other people, and

156
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: this is he's at that point where he is a

157
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: professional career musician. Where we were doing this thing, we

158
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: were building it from the ground up, and uh, you

159
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: gotta be poor to build from the ground up. Actually,

160
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: like you have to be willing to be poor. Yeah. Absolutely,

161
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: And he wasn't willing to be poor, which is there

162
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: because he didn't have to be right exactly, and and

163
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: it would I don't think it would have worked because

164
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: when you're starting out, you've you've kind of all got

165
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: to be on the same page, because you're gonna play

166
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: really bad gigs and really awkward gigs, and you're gonna

167
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: be in situations where it sounds bad and you're not

168
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: getting paid anything except for free food and drinks or

169
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: whatever it is. And if everyone's not in the same

170
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: mindset and kind of in the same place and with

171
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: the same vision, there's gonna be someone unhappy. So I

172
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: think it's important in that early stage to kind of

173
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: make sure you're on the same page with that. So

174
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: the next guy called up went to mts U and

175
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: and we started talking and we clicked musically, and and uh,

176
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: you know, I invited him to come out and play

177
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: with us. So the three of us started playing, and

178
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: that was Eric was a guitar player, So Eric Trip

179
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: and I started playing, and then Eric went to school

180
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: with Chandler who plays bass and Jared who plays everything. Um,

181
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: so he brought them along. So then we had three

182
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: mts U guys and Tripped myself. And you know that

183
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: it was funny because the first time I remember the

184
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: first rehearsal, wasn't this random living room this guy let

185
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: us use and uh, and we were playing and we

186
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: had this whole plan, like I had these songs, we're

187
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: gonna practice them, and and we really probably played music

188
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: for like twenty or thirty minutes and then just started

189
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: hanging out. We took a break just and we hung

190
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: out to like three in the morning, and then it

191
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: was like, you guys, want to do this tomorrow, Like

192
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: we'll hang out tomorrow and maybe bring our instruments and

193
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: and so it started real organically and real naturally as

194
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: as it turned into five friends hanging out who also

195
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: played music. Um, okay, so you had to become friends.

196
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: That's a tough thing to do. Yeah, it And five

197
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: is a lot of personalities. And I know it because

198
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: one I hang out with the same people every day

199
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: to a radio show, work together every day many hours,

200
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: and you learn And at first was infatuation stage where

201
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: you're like, these are the greatest people in the world.

202
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: That's like, I'm so tired of a couple of them.

203
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: Then you're tired of another couple of them, and then

204
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: you just realize what everyone's faults are and how to

205
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: accept them and if you really want to be in

206
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: a long term and so are the five people that

207
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: you started officially at Lanka with at the same five

208
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: now same five so nobody switched in it out. Nope,

209
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: no one switching out. Here's the awkward question, when did

210
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: you do you get paid more everybody else? Uh no,

211
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: you gets split it five ways. Yeah, look at that,

212
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: so and look at that. Yeah yeah, so we I mean,

213
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: and that was another thing early on, it's it's for me. Um,

214
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: you're good dude. Now there there are things where in

215
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: the future, you know, if people you know people right,

216
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: if you're right, because put but early on, honestly, early on,

217
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: I was the first one to get a publishing deal,

218
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: and so I fronted the cost for everything because we

219
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: we got this RV to tour around in um and

220
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: I would pay for gas, like I just my publishing money.

221
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: I looked at as land cos money. So I was

222
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: paying for everything and I wasn't taking money for for

223
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: show gigs. I would just you know, everyone want to

224
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: split it because I I I you know, I looked

225
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: at it. You know, Lanco helped me get this publishing deal,

226
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: and we're all in this together. And so now it's

227
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: even doubts where yeah, we play shows, we all get

228
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 1: paid for it. And it's also two different jobs as

229
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: a band. You guys are playing and it's really awesome

230
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: that you split it five ways because your name is

231
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: in the band, just saying, but you all do right.

232
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: And if you have publishing deals, that's a whole different thing.

233
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: Paid you have to write certain amount of a right.

234
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: And we have different publishing deals too, you know, so

235
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: like with different companies and we write for different people.

236
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: You know, we're all over the place, So get really

237
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: messy if you started throwing that all in there. But

238
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: as far as yeah, we're all on stage together, we're

239
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: all sweating the same. We're all if someone buys a

240
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: T shirt, we all work to help sell that T

241
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: shirt on stage. And so there you go. That's interesting.

242
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: Surprised with that whole If my name was then it

243
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: what I go? Even it's probably not. My band is

244
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: not real, so it doesn't matter. All our car stuff

245
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: is different. Let me talk about this for a second.

246
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: Talk about a sleep number bead. First peak in my bedroom,

00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: in the bed. Actually it's a sleep number bed. If

249
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,040

Speaker 1: or have less stress, to sleep number bed actress, what

251
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: you need to have before you started that better sleep

252
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: better you can feel, the better you can get the

253

Speaker 1: the Bobby Bones Show. So here with Brandon Lancaster of

264
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: of Lanko and so, okay, you guys are a band. Um,

265
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: let's just kind of go around the circle for a

266
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: second and start with what's happening right now. You guys

267
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: are out on the road with the couple of my

268
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: friends brothers OSBO and right. Yeah, and so when you're

269
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: out on the road, how much time do you actually

270
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: spend together with the other band with them? Uh, it's

271
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: been a pretty cool situation because we hang out pretty

272
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: much every night. Um, we you know, we kind of

273
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: knew them before, and we got to hang out with

274
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: them once before, and then I know, I know John

275
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: from just the riding circles in Nashville and his wife Lucy,

276
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: and so there's there's already kind of a connection there,

277
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: and so we're we're kind of just all buddies and

278
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: and I mean honestly, most nights after the show will

279
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: walk on their bus and hang out until a bus call,

280
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: and and before the show, you know, might hang out

281
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: in the dressing room. It's it's it's pretty tight community.

282
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: It's really fun. They're good dudes. Yeah, and there are

283
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: a lot of good people, and there are people and

284
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: it also gets busy and groups stay in groups. But

285
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: they're they're good dudes. Yeah, they're very and they're very genuine.

286
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: You know. The first time we really hung out with

287
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: them was at this festival in a Michigan and and

288
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,720

302
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,520

305
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: grab yourself a beer, water, whatever you guys need. What's

306
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: ours is yours. And so we thought that was so

307
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: cool that they kind of, you know, approached it that way.

308
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: And really it just seems so genuine. They didn't have

309
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: you don't have to do that you can hang out

310
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: with someone to not be that inviting and that cool.

311
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: And so we we from from day one, we've just

312
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: thought the world of them, and I think they're really

313
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: genuine guys. I think that's why a lot of the

314
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: internal community roots for them to not only are they

315
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: really good, but they're really good people. And there's a

316
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: lot of people, but then they're genuine humans. Those dudes

317
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: are cool. I had dinner with John a couple of

318
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: nights ago, and John Osborne is one with a big

319
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: beard and kind of the big red hair. T J

320
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: is the clean cut guy, you know. Definitely the vocalist,

321
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: uh and John plays guitar like a madman. It's ridiculous.

322
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: It's acts. I'm not kidding. They're one of the only

323
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: acts I respect. Really. We get to be with so

324
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: many acts. We've toured with so many acts past year,

325
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: and I respect all of them, and they all have

326
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: different strengths. Um, but Brothers Osborne is the only band

327
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: that we've toured with that if I'm not getting Every night,

328
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: after we're done we load up our stuff, we all

329
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: either walk back out front or side stage and just

330
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: watch their set because it's so good and and every

331
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: night John brings on the guitar and and t J

332
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: just a great vocalist, and it's it's such a pleasure

333
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: to watch them. And it's a story of John has

334
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: been in Nashville as of right now sixteen years and

335
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: they're just now starting to be like a thing, right,

336
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: and they've always been good, but I'm just not starting

337
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: to be a thing sixteen years. It's a testament of

338
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: just stay with it and grind and if okay, if

339
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: a song doesn't make it, okay, what's the next one?

340
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: You get dropped from a label? Okay, what's the next

341
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: one you get? What's the next one? Keep going? And

342
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: you know that's that's a great story for young people

343
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: because you know, you do things, just don't fall into

344
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: your lap, trust me, I know. So for you, where

345
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: did it start? Like when did people start sniffing around

346
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: and think because like how guys are pretty good? Well,

347
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, we got we got our start, you know

348
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: in uh we would we would play in Murphy's Broll sometimes.

349
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: But really Trip worked at this warehouse literally right down

350
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: the street and uh uh Admier's warehouse and they've actually

351
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: knocked it down since then, which is sad. But we

352
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: didn't even we couldn't even afford a place to practice.

353
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: And so Trip, you know, literally was like I have

354
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: the key to my warehouse I work, and we could

355
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: sneak in there at night. So we would, you know,

356
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: literally sneak in there every night. And just play. And

357
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: you know, there was no air, no heats when the winners.

358
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: It was freezing in the summers. Literally, there's videos going

359
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: around of us like practicing in our boxers because we're

360
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: all just sweating, and but we're gonna play and we're

361
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: gonna practice. So we were doing that and we would play.

362
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: We would play wherever we could. But one thing for

363
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: us was because we were a band and we had

364
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: original music, finding a place in Nashville was always a

365
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: struggle because if you go to Broadway, they want a

366
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: four hour cover set because tourists, they're there and they

367
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: want to hear familiar songs exactly, which I totally get

368
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: an understanding. I mean, I've had plenty of nights on

369
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: Broadway when I first moved here, and I love singing

370
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 1: all the classic songs. But uh, for us, you were

371
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: you know, we're do covers. We have no problem doing covers,

372
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: but we really wanted to showcase our original music and

373
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: really wanted to grow as a band, growing our original music.

374
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: So we would play wherever we could get a gig.

375
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: But it might be outside of Broadway, it might be

376
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: on Demumbrium or in midtown Um and these are streets

377
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: in Nashville, the country. Yeah, it's a they're all still downtown,

378
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: but they're not on that main strip and it's it's

379
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: where a little more original music is that. So we

380
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 1: were doing that for a while and then but we

381
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: all had odd jobs. You know, I was working at

382
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: a concession stand and can you work at Bridgetone? I

383
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: worked at Bridgetone are which is every town has a

384
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: big arena, and bridge Stone is where, you know, like

385
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: if Keith Urban played Bridgestone, it's you know, it's the

386
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: Square Garden of New York. Which is funny you say,

387
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: Keith Urban played bridge Stone because this is where are

388
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: a lot literally our lives took a turn. We had

389
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: been playing this music, playing gigs, playing in bars, honestly,

390
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: playing like restaurants where people are eating montrealistics and you're

391
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: trying to put on a show. And one night I'm

392
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: working concessions, selling hot dogs and burgers and and sewed

393
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And we already abandoned this point that

394
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: we're practicing. Oh yeah, we were a band, we were

395
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: playing gigs, We're doing whatever we couldn't. This was a

396
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: point where we were sitting around, we were trying to

397
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: demo songs to Nashville. We were trying to get a

398
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: producer it. But going from that band that plays some

399
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: songs to a band that has recorded music, to a

400
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: band that sells, to a band that gets a record deal,

401
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: there's so many steps. And we were talking about those steps,

402
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: you know, how do we get a producer, how do

403
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: we get recorded music? How do we afford it? Should

404
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: we do a go fund me or what should we do?

405
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 1: Right around that time, I'm working a Keith Urban concert

406
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: at Bridgestone and uh, yeah, get your dog. Just doing

00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: fan of what you do. Uh, and just told him,

458
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: you know, I love the records he had worked on

459
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: and referenced some records and did you know this happens

460
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: to every minute of every day, Like yeah, I'm just

461
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: wondering where the approach came in, Like what did you do?

462
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: This is different? You know, I don't know what I

463
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: will say. One thing about Jay is he doesn't go

464
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: out a lot like he was. I think three of

465
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: the five album of the years the Album of the

466
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: Year this year for c m as either two or

467
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: three of the five he had worked on. He wasn't

468
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: at the c m A Awards, Like he didn't even go.

469
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: He was working. So he but when he does go out,

470
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: I know people approach him, but you know I I

471
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: didn't because people always say like, oh, you made a move,

472
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: like you pitched yourself, like you saw something you went

473
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: not really like as much as I'd like to say

474
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: like yeah, I really went for it. I just loved

475
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: what the guy did. I loved his work, and we're

476
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: you knowledgeable in his works and you know, you just

477
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: absolutely that's a big deal. Yeah, if you go to

478
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: someone and you don't have time to prepare and you

479
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: know everything about them, yeah, there's there's a respect that

480
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: even though you're pitching, they're like, oh, you actually know

481
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: what I do, right, And that's what I you know, initially,

482
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: I just went up to tell him. I love the

483
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: Air the Last Air, trich Tracker, the Outsiders that he

484
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: had done, and and the little big town stuff and

485
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: also like Cage the Elephant. It's a rock band and

486
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: amously you know, and I asked him a few questions

487
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: about some of this stuff on the record, and so

488
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: we just started talking music, um, and then that came

489
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: around to him asking, you know about me and my thing,

490
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: and he was like, you're a songwriter, right, because I,

491
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, talked about writing and it's like, yeah, I'm

492
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: a writer and I'm in a band. He's like, well,

493
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: tell me about the band. Kind of started talking about it,

494
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: and he just real nontionally because that that's cool. Manage

495
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: should complain me some music sometime. And you got a

496
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: direction that that would be uh, that would be putting

497
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: it lightly. No, Uh, well, I mean the thing is Nashville, though,

498
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: you hear that kind of everyone's like, let's have a dinner,

499
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: let's get together, let's right together. Let's I mean, that's

500
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: that's the Nashville hey man, Let's write together. You never

501
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: and I've had producers before, you know, say like, oh,

502
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: I'd love to work with some stuff, man, And it

503
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, they don't call you back, they're busy for

504
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: two years, you know whatever, and frankly you're unknown. Yeah, Like,

505
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: what's the benefit of working with some kids in a

506
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: dorky set of khakis? I mean, they were cool khakis. Man,

507
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: there's always a benefit if you hit the right one.

508
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: But there are a thousand door he gets in khakis.

509
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: As for him to go, hey, play me some music,

510
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: it's one thing, but for him to actually follow up

511
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: and now, how did that happen? So I I said, oh, yeah,

512
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: I'd love to you man, that'd be cool, not even

513
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: thinking it could be real. That was towards me in

514
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: the conversation. Kind of the conversation, you know, came to

515
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: an end, and I thought, what if he is serious?

516
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: What if I really could play him some music? That'd

517
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: be so cool just to play for him, you know,

518
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: just to even go to a studio. So I like

519
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: started walking right away and awkwardly turned. I was like, hey,

520
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: I just realized that I don't have your number. Is

521
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: there a way I get your number? And he's like,

522
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Sared. He was funny. He just said it

523
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: like he said his number, and thank god I had

524
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: my phone out and really quickly put it in and

525
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: saved it, and I was like cool, thanks, man. Was

526
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: it like, are you married? Single? Got a girlfriend right

527
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: right right now? Have a girlfriend? Was it like when

528
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: you meet a girl and you you meet them and

529
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: you like them and you have it like, oh, I

530
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: can't wait to call I don't know when I should

531
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: call them, Like I don't know what day, what time

532
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: of the day should I t Was that like that?

533
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: It was exactly like that. I went to that night.

534
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: So Trip the drummer literally lives on the next street

535
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: over from here, by the way, um, and we were

536
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: at you know, neighbors down the street. We were over there,

537
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: we were pubbed down there and he was there and

538
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, I text him after work like

539
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 1: stay where we're at. I gotta come over the pub.

540
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: I gotta show you something. And I went there and

541
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: showed him, just showed him Jay's number. She said Jay

542
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,239
Speaker 1: Joyce and his number and he's like no, you know.

543
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: And then it kind of became like, well, now what

544
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: I mean, what do we call them? So I thought,

545
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: let's get some music together, Let's get some good demos

546
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: so we can have an accurate representation of what we're doing.

547
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 1: So we went through like two different producers, paid them

548
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: like for demo costs. By the way, you're hiring producers

549
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: to produce something so another producer hears it, right, just

550
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean it was just demos, you know. It's like, hey, well,

551
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: you demos aren't recording into your iPhone. There's the recording

552
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: into your iPhone, the work tape, and then there's getting

553
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: someone to actually put a little work into a track.

554
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: And you're paying a producer so another producer will hear

555
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: it and hopefully produce you. Like, it's so many little depth.

556
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: That's what we were talking about, absolutely and so and

557
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: that's why that's the way you're supposed to do. You're

558
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: supposed to have demos when you go to someone and

559
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: and will demo stuff ourselves, which just doesn't sound as

560
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: good as going to a studio. So I was all right,

561
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: let's play. Let's pay a few hundred bucks per track

562
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 1: and give him like three songs and have some work tapes.

563
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 1: And we had two different producers, like we'd start and

564
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: they'd bail. And now a month had passed since I

565
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: talked to Jay. I totally forgot about you, and so

566
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 1: I was on my way over the studio to like

567
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: talk to this producer that had had He was a

568
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: good guy, nice guy, he was busy and it just

569
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: he wasn't getting to our stuff. And I'm in traffic

570
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: and I swear, this is like a movie and this

571
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: sounds so corny, but I'm listening to radio and Springsteen

572
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: comes on, not bruised Eric Church of Springsteen, which Jay

573
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: had produced, and I hear it and I literally just

574
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: pull out of traffic, pull into a parking lot and

575
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, I'm just gonna go. I'm just

576
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: gonna call him. And I just call him. Didn't have

577
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: anything to offer, didn't like I loved to send you

578
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: some demos. I said, hey man, this is really round

579
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: Money's Brandon Lancaster. I met you like a month ago

580
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 1: at Bridge Stone. He's like, oh yeah, yeah, what's up.

581
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, well, you know you you you

582
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,479
Speaker 1: said about a month ago that maybe I come over

583
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: and play some music and I'd love to do that.

584
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: And I kind of started giving my story about not

585
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: having demos. He's like, he goes, and this is very

586
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: Jay goes, look kid, what do you want to do?

587
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: Why are you calling me? What do you want, and

588
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: I was like, I want to be an artist. I

00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,719
Speaker 1: Are you watching it? I'm kind of but you know,

608
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm just trying not to think about that. This means

609
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: anything in my mind when you're in those situations like

610
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm a very my personalize, I'll i'll look I'm very

611
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: future oriented. I'll think like, well, how is this going

612
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: to play out? And what will happen if I do

613
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: this and this and this. But in those kind of situations,

614
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: I can freak myself out. So I kind of just

615
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: that's a kind of situation where you go, you know what,

616
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: this is really cool. No matter how this turns out.

617
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell my kids about this one day. I

618
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: want to be like, yeah, one of those guys, do

619
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: you do playing some songs. I got to meet him

620
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: and played his piano, you know whatever it was, and

621
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: and so I was kind of just in the moment

622
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: playing the song, just enjoying that I was playing it

623
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: for him, and uh, I finished, and he's stone cold,

624
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: like he's good poker face and he's you know, he's

625
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: not gonna like show emotions. She's like, cool, man, Yeah,

626
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: so you can. You can write a good song. It

627
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: sounds like a hit. That's cool. Uh, now play a

628
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: song that never would be on the radio, but you

629
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: really like it. And I played him another song called

630
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: in the Morning that we actually ended up cutting. Uh,

631
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: and uh, it's not out yet in the morning ever,

632
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: not that one. If if I wrote that, then I

633
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: would have flown my private jet um every morning for

634
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: those that are going to correct me on Twitter. So

635
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,479
Speaker 1: you play in the morning for him, Yeah, And and

636
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: you know it's a it's a more of a ballad

637
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: and a different time signature, and it's a little more artsy,

638
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: but it's a very real song lyrically, and you know

639
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: it's a it's a love song. But it starts out,

640
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm tired of you, you're sick of me, um, And

641
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of about just the journey of no matter

642
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: what we're going through in the morning, we're still gonna

643
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: wake up and be best friends. So just know that.

644
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: And it's okay whatever we're going through right now. Um.

645
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: So I played him that, and then I played him

646
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: American Love Story. That is your best song, by the way,

647
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: thank you. I'm glad I played it for him then,

648
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: and uh, and he he thought it was cool and

649
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: he was like, all right, that's that's you know, it's

650
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: I've heard I need to hear. And after that, so

651
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: he produced you because of that that and Mary, I

652
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: guess yeah, I mean he hate producer because what we

653
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: do and and I hate easily love the story. And

654
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: then this is a good song. We love this one.

655
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: We didn't know a long live times ago. It's fine.

656
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this American Love Story is for

657
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: like your best song, thank you man. We're excited about

658
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: that one. And that you know from day one. American

659
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: Love Story is a special song. It's a story. It's

660
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: it's the reason it's a song. That's the reason you're

661
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: in country music. UM, it's just that worry that people

662
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: relate to. UM. And it's been cool to play it

663
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: on the road literally every night, which we love it

664
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: like people keep doing it. But every night people come

665
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: up to us and tell us how they are the

666
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: American web Story, and that's their story. Whether it's someone's

667
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: deployed in the army and they came back, or whether

668
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: they met in high school or man in college, or

669
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: we'll have old couples, young couples, and so it's been

670
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: really cool to see a song like that relate to

671
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: so many different people on so many levels and kind

672
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: of put their story into it. So you and I've

673
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 1: got it, and I got a job. I was working

674
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: that nine five. I don't think about this band. The

675
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: singer kind of sucks. It's terrible. Never fell so alive.

676
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: I spaming day's work, can't spaming night's drinking, halling that

677
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: screaming falling day you coming back nold, couldn't come too soon,

678
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: couldn't come too soon. Well, now it's gonna be up forever.

679
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna be off better. And now I was learning

680
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: about American love story there from Lanco. Man, this girlfriend

681
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: you have? All you guys been together, oh, man, a while.

682
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: We met in college, so about six years. Mm hmmmm.

683
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: I knew there would be something to it when you

684
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: took a breath before you answered, well, it's because I

685
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: always get it wrong. How long we've been together? Six years? Huh?

686
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: How does she feel about this with you? The growth

687
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: the road. You're a good looking dude, you're fronting a band,

688
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: You're getting some trade. It's as much as it's a

689
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: grind for you on this front, I don't know. I

690
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: never better. It's also a little it's worked for her too,

691
00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: to have to be in a relationship. What's someone like you? Yeah,

692
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean touring, being in a band, that's one thing.

693
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: Just being a relationship with me, period, I think it'd

694
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: be tough. Um, but with all the added stuff. You know,

695
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: one thing that I think that we have an advantage

696
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: is that she was She knew me in college, We

697
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: got to know each each other in college, became friends

698
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: in college, started dating college. She's seen me go from

699
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 1: a college student playing in coffee shops and bands in

700
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: college to moving to Nashville, staying up, you know, talking

701
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: all night about I don't know what I'm gonna do,

702
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how we're gonna, you know, complaining. She

703
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: was there when we get the record deal. She's there

704
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: when you get the publishing deal. She's there when you

705
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: have first mixes, she's there when you everything that's happened,

706
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: she's been there for so when when times are hard,

707
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: she's kind of been to this journey with you. So

708
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: she's she's really excited for me, she's really excited for

709
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: the band, and she's been a part of our story.

710
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: And so she knows how hard we've worked for it,

711
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: and she knows how hard I've worked for it, and

712
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: so there's just so much support and so even and

713
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: when times are hard, when you're gone, you miss each other,

714
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. UM, I think because we've built

715
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: such a foundation. She's been a part of this. You'll go,

716
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: you're a little bit like, hi, bright, now let's go

717
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: so low. I think you can do this, but not

718
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: at all. No, Yeah, she wants to be in a

719
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 1: duo and we're gonna that's that's actually the next step.

720
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: She she used to like she's a musical person, she

721
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: can sing, but she's a teacher. So it's so good. Listen,

722
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get in trouble for saying that it's really

723
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: good to date someone not in the same kind of industry.

724
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: Is as I say that at the time of this recording,

725
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: my girlfriends and artists. So it's it's grinding because we're

726
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: both we're both in different pat it's solid that she

727
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: has a foundation any job, because you're nuts, right, and

728
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: it's a nice balance. Yeah, And and teaching specifically, you know,

729
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: it's cool because they get summers off and then breaks

730
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: off and stuff. So she can traut like this summer,

731
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: you know she can't. We played a lot of PLUSA.

732
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: She can do all of Palusa and just different festivals

733
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: like that. But then, so it's nice. There are things

734
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: where if you were dating someone in the industry, I

735
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: think it'd be cool because you guys could talk about

736
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: you can talk about industry things, and there'd be you

737
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: would understand it a little more than than a teacher might.

738
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: But it is nice to get off the road and

739
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: kind of have another life and kind of be able

740
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: to take a break. And when she's talking about her day,

741
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: I don't really have a if she's talking about her

742
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: classroom or lesson plans or another teacher, whatever it is,

743
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: you know, I can just relax and listen. And it's

744
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: as supposed where if she was like a songwriter or

745
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: I'll be like, well, maybe you should and before you

746
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: know what, you're now like trying to handle two careers. Um.

747
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: But I mean I think that's cool. I think that

748
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, you're dating an artist. I think that'd be cool,

749
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, because you have then you have a major

750
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: thing in common. I'm dating a good person. The artist thing.

751
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: Artists are weird and and I say that, and we're

752
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: both different kinds of artists. We create different things. We're nuts.

753
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: You have to be nuts to do what we do. Yeah. Absolutely, Um?

754
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: What what great? Like? What age of the kids that

755
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,279

774
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,280

00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: and she'll correct you, uh she has before, but it's not.

Speaker 1: like correct something that sounds good to me, Like I'm

789
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: a writer. I mean, who in the years that you

790
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: guys have been doing this and you've been able to

791
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,640

00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: outside of it's a big city, but it's such a

796
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,879

Speaker 1: Lanko is not Jason Aldean and and that may not

812
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,799

Speaker 1: they're there because they are so good at doing that right, absolutely,

839
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: and it's something and we you can all no matter

840
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: where you're at, you can always be learning. And we

841
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, this past year, we just we just absorbed

842
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,440

Speaker 1: showing up and and just knowing that, and that was

846
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 1: one thing I learned, honestly all the way back working

847
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: at bridge Stone was all these people are coming here.

848
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: They all have jobs, they all may have had a

849
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: hard week, they all may have problems in relationships, whatever

850
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: it may be. But tonight is a big night. It's

851
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: a special night that they're going to tell their friends about.

852
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, that's like trip he saw. Jay's

853
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: not even his sixteen and he still talks about it

854
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: and it's so cool. You know. Bruce Springsteen, I heard

855
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: a thing where he always, you know, will tell his

856
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: band tonight could be somebody's first show and it could

857
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,760
Speaker 1: be somebody's last, so let's play like it. And knowing

858
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: that you have this chance to impact people on a

859
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: night and impact their lives and relate to them and

860
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: sing these songs that it may be their anniversary song,

861
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: or it may take them back to a time in

862
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: college where it was them and all their friends. It's

863
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: just such an honor to be able to to have

864
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: that opportunity to to play in front of people like that,

865
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: and seeing these people that have been doing it for

866
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: so long it have mastered it and still just go out.

867
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: There was so much energy and are so captivating. It's

868
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 1: it's really fun to watch. You know. One of my friends,

869
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,919
Speaker 1: and I don't use that word loosely, is Christian Bush

870
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: from sugar Land, who is now doing stuff solo, but

871
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: it's still they're still sugar Land. And so you know,

872
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: at five, seven, nine years ago, all those Sugarland was

873
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: a list number one, f number one, playing stadiums, Rena's

874
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call them, you know, the big gigs, right.

875
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: And I was talking to Christian because Christian came out

876
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: and played with us the Raging Idiots, and he played

877
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: guitar and just saying background and Christian, I've written a

878
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: bunch together. We've written some some fun songs, goofy songs,

879
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: you know, and so um there's that I was. We

880
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: were what we were doing, we were playing dope, Campbell Stadium.

881
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 1: We're playing Florida State University, and so it was us

882
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,479
Speaker 1: an old dominion of Tyler Farr, and Christian was playing

883
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: guitar for us, and he's just doing it because he's

884
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 1: a nice guys, just a good dude. And I was like,

885
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: hey man, when and he goes, you know, I have

886
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: actually played the stadium, you know, with sugar Land we played,

887
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: and I was like, what is it like moving up?

888
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: Going from clubs to bigger clubs, maybe theaters, then you

889
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: start playing the arenas. He said, you know, it was

890
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: a lot like I was so excited for those stadium

891
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: arena shows. But when once you do them, he said,

892
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: sometimes it sounds sucks sometimes the guitars, alright, because it's

893
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: kind of the same thing. It's always the same. And

894
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: if you just practice in the smallest places at being

895
00:42:55,800 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: the biggest you can be, and you condition your up

896
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: to be that big all the way up and maintain

897
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: it stays the same all the way through, because crap

898
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: happens that at every state. Yeah, you're making more money,

899
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: but as an effect, how good you are, but at

900
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: that point you should already be there. Yeah, And I

901
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 1: think that early on that was kind of our mentality.

902
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,479
Speaker 1: Like I said, we were playing restaurants because even playing

903
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: a bar was tough. So a restaurant maybe like okay,

904
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: you can play whatever you want for an hour and

905
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: a half. You know, we have losing money early, a

906
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 1: lot of bands losing gosh, yes, absolutely losing. I mean yeah,

907
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: you would pay to play a gig, like as if

908
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna drive to Chattanooger, drive to Atlanta or wherever

909
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: it may be, or Indianapolis, they may throw two five

910
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: hundred bucks. Well by the time you you pay for gas,

911
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 1: or if you stay in a hotel, you're absolutely paying

912
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: about a hundred two hundred bucks to play that show.

913
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 1: But you're just doing it because one you're you're trying

914
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: to get better, you're trying to kind of get your

915
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: name out there. But a big part of it early

916
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: on was we weren't playing great gigs. We weren't playing

917
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 1: great venues. You know there we were happy to be there,

918
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: but you know they weren't. It wasn't a theater, it

919
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: wasn't a stadium, it wasn't a club even. And we

920
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: recognized early on, if we don't go out there every

921
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: night and just play the best, that we can and

922
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: have fun and enjoy what we're doing and care that.

923
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: You know what, there's only three people here, but this

924
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: could be cool for them. This is you know, let's

925
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: let's give them good music and play the best we can.

926
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: If you don't do that, it'll get really old, really fast.

927
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: Because it is it's microphones everything. It's the same microphones,

928
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: same guitars, it's monitors, it's a stage, you know it

929
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: a lot of it. You're going through the same thing.

930
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: So if you are reminding yourself, like I get to

931
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: be on stage and play music and I get to

932
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: give this gift to people in the audience, then I

933
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 1: think it could be a letdown. It could be the point.

934
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: I think that people that have long careers, I think

935
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: it's because they really do love it and they're in

936
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: it because they love it because and they don't know

937
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: how to do anything else. Because if you were just

938
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: doing it to play the more people, and play the

939
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: more people and get more, there's always gonna be another

940
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: thing you're trying to get to. There's always it's like

941
00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: chasing money and the career world, the more chase money,

942
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: the less money you're actually going to make. For the

943
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: most part, you're if you chase passion, you're going to

944
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: work harder at it. You're going to get better at

945
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: it because you're working harder, and because you're getting better

946
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: at it, then the money comes. And I think too,

947
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: you know one thing in the band, when you travel

948
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: a lot and you you play with all these other bands,

949
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: it's weird when you start doing this professionally because there's

950
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: literally a ranking system. I mean there's literally a chart

951
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, you have the number whatever song,

952
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: or you have the number or and then you're on

953
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 1: the road, it's like, well they have a big fancy

954
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: tour bus. Well, then once you get a tour bus,

955
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: will they have multiple fancy tour buses and there's always

956
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: a ladder to climb, and we'll we'll kind of just

957
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: throw out this quote that's you know, don't worry about it.

958
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: Comparison is the thief of joy because at the end

959
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: of the day, we're joyful just being able to make

960
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: music and play music. And the second you start saying

961
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: if you get a number one, we'll guess what, there's

962
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: someone out there with three number ones you get three

963
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: number ones, or someone out there with ten or twenty.

964
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: If you're always looking at other people and comparing yourself.

965
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: It'll rip away the joy from it and and it'll

966
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: stop you from loving what you're doing. Let me ask you,

967
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: this not awkward for me, Dad, I don't care. Yeah,

968
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,439
Speaker 1: you put out Long Left tonight. So the song comes

969
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: out at your first major label single and where did

970
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: the peak? I believe thirty two? Okay, So for all

971
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: intentsive purposes, the single failed. If you're if you're comparing

972
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: it by a chart standard, yes, and I and I

973
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm comparing it by whatever it's gonna say in radio world,

974
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: which trust me, I have issues with two. I'm in

975
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: the radio and radio more than anybody. Which is so

976
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: funny because it's like a normal person like if if

977
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: you're like I had a top forty single, like, oh

978
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,240
Speaker 1: my gosh, you're huge, But yeah, I know you're shooting

979
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: for that number one or top ten or whatever it

980
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,439
Speaker 1: is or whatever it is. Yeah, so this song comes

981
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: out when they call you and say, all right, this

982
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,919
Speaker 1: song is dead. We're not pushing it anymore. Who makes

983
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: that call to you? Our management talk to us about it, like,

984
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: and it was do you know what was coming? Yes?

985
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: In a way, I mean you wanted to do well

986
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 1: and obviously you have. Like I remember, it's funny because

987
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: we we were learning all this last year. I mean

988
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: a year ago, I wouldn't be able to talk about

989
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,720
Speaker 1: radio the way I could talk about it now. Charts

990
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. I knew what they were and

991
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: you hear, like number one. I don't know, but how

992
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: do you get a number one? I just I'm just

993
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: putting out music. And you know, when you talk to

994
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: your radio reb check, what's your like, what's your goal

995
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: for this song? Like? Where do you They're like number one?

996
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: You're like, wait a number and you realize there's the

997
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: standard is the number one? That's and if it's not

998
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: number one? So that was interesting for us to learn.

999
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: But in our mindset releasing a single, we wanted it

1000
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: to reflect who we are. We wanted to have you

1001
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: hyped to think you're about to be a number one artist?

1002
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: Did did they? Did they have it in your head

1003
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 1: like you're gonna be a number one artists? Trust us

1004
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,760
Speaker 1: on this and you were like and you're like whoa

1005
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: And they were like, oh, it didn't make it. If

1006
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: they did, we weren't hyped. If they did, I think

1007
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: that their job is to be hyped into into work

1008
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 1: like it's got to be number one. We're just looking

1009
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: at is all right, you guys are gonna work the song.

1010
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna play it, and we believe in the song

1011
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 1: and we're happy it's out there. Are if you're honest

1012
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: right now? I don't know. I most I wouldn't believe

1013
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: that answer, but I feel like you're being honest right

1014
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: now about this. Yeah. I mean, it's just weird. It

1015
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: just all happened like last year the song was just happy.

1016
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 1: It's your first single. I don't even know what a

1017
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: radio tour is a year ago, and then you're on

1018
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,439
Speaker 1: radio tour. You what made you go on to radio

1019
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: stations and playing in front of programing regular right, And

1020
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: so we were you're doing all that. So we're honestly

1021
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: just trying to get through. And we were also were

1022
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: touring a lot last year, so we're playing shows. So

1023
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: if they're like, hey, you moved up a spot where

1024
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: like great, we gotta go on stage and play like

1025
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: be honest with me. Was Long Live Tonight in your

1026
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: mind a failure you guys? Or no? No it was not,

1027
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: because was it a success? Yes, the way that I

1028
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: would leok at it. I really think it was a

1029
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: success because, first of all, when we're looking at our

1030
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: first single, we're wanting an accurate representation of us. Who

1031
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: is land Co? What is land Co? What's the vibe,

1032
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: what's the style like? And when you're looking at a

1033
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: year that's an election year, you're looking at all the

1034
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: stuff that's going on, You're looking at people in social

1035
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: media and all the distractions that are around us. I

1036
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 1: wanted a song that came out first that accurately represented

1037
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: who we are, both musically and lyrically. And also we're

1038
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 1: gonna play a lot of live shows, we're playing festivals.

1039
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: I wanted an anthemic song that people could rally around

1040
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: because ultimately that's what we want Landco to be. So

1041
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 1: to have a song that goes out there and I

1042
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: mean it had you know, it got up to I

1043
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: think near eighteen million streams on Spotify, So that's very playlisted.

1044
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: It is playlisted, not to hate on your no and there,

1045
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: I mean there there are instances where you look, I've looked.

1046
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: It's funny because I'll look at playlisting and I'll look

1047
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: at an artist that had number one and they'll have

1048
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: like seven million streams and be on the playlist, and

1049
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: then we're in the thirties and have eight team million.

1050
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: And although there is playlisting, at the end of the day,

1051
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: for me, it's not about like, oh, eighteen million went

1052
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: and loved our song. That means it was played eighteen

1053
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: million times, which means that that message that we cared

1054
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: about and we wanted people to hear it got out there.

1055
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: And you know what, getting in the thirties, people heard

1056
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: it on the radio. When we played these festivals, people

1057
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: are singing it. You know, if we play a club show,

1058
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,240
Speaker 1: a couple hundred people come out there singing the song.

1059
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: So for us to have a first year on the road,

1060
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 1: first single at radio, we had never in our lives

1061
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: had people sing a song with us. We're just trying, Yeah,

1062
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,919
Speaker 1: someone knows something that you yeah. And and so for

1063
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: us to know that a year ago, no one could

1064
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: sing one word of a song unless we're playing Sweet

1065
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: Caroline or Sweet Caroline. Dude once again, once again, if

1066
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: I wrote that song, we once again we'd be at

1067
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: my house, in in my and on the top of

1068
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 1: the hill. Um ye, John Richards out right exactly. But

1069
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: we uh so it was a success. So you it

1070
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: was not a failure to you know, it was a

1071
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,879
Speaker 1: lot of time. It's not a failure. It was because

1072
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: the most first thing goes. Don't even get the thirties

1073
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: right right. I was gonna was gonna pressure hard on

1074
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: that and whatever you said to the truth. Yeah, everybody

1075
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,399
Speaker 1: has their own truth. I just don't think. I don't

1076
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: think if you're really an artist and you care about

1077
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: your art and you care about your songs, yes you

1078
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: wanted to be successful in the charts, but that can't

1079
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: be the measure that's that can't be the way that

1080
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: you measure whether the song was successful or not, because

1081
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 1: you gotta eat. Okay, if you're talking about like monetary,

1082
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 1: like did it buy me as many meals at a

1083
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: restaurant as a number? One? Would have? No, it did not.

1084
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: But did people hear it? Did it? I mean we

1085
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: would have. I've had people after a show come up

1086
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: and be like, when you started playing Long Lived Tonight,

1087
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: my friend I started crying because we're graduating college and

1088
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: that's been our college anthem. That one story right there,

1089
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 1: the songs of success. I mean, as an artist, you're

1090
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: very much an artist. I feel like you could just

1091
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: go and write songs and be an artist and be

1092
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: cool and happy. And I didn't believe that at first.

1093
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 1: I you you're too pretty. I was like, okay, well,

1094
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: trust me. I've been writing songs and not having any

1095
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: success at all for a long time and been happy.

1096
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: So it's at this point in my life it's kind

1097
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: of I hope to always keep that. But and trust me,

1098
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 1: I want success. I want if you have number one,

1099
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 1: that means way more people have heard it and you're impacting.

1100
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: But to me, even the number one just means more

1101
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: people are hearing it, so more people have the chance

1102
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 1: to understand you and know you and then come out

1103
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: to a show and then you get to give them

1104
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: the full thing. So that that's kind of the way

1105
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: that I I look at it. Very interesting. Let me

1106
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: read about Blue Apron. You have Bloe Apriend. I did not.

1107
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: I not kidding. I've listened. I listened to a few

1108
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,240
Speaker 1: year podcast and heard you talk about it and almost

1109
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:46,840

1121
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: We've had very serious talks about that next stage in

1122
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: our relationship because we're not We both wanted it was

1123
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: a thing where too, when you're an artist, I don't

1124
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: think that I could afford to live in a shoe

1125
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: box with my girlfriend up until even a year ago.

1126

Speaker 1: a teacher, she's a good job. But it's solid. Yeah,

1128
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: it's you know, my life has changed the past year

1129
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:40,919
Speaker 1: year and a half, which means that we could have

1130
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 1: more talks. I'm like, I lived with my parents for

1131
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,720
Speaker 1: like two years here because I was making no money

1132
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: from music, and so when you're like living with your

1133
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: parents and and what I hope so what okay, and

1134
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 1: I hope it works out. I've never bet it right.

1135
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure it will. It will to deal with someone

1136
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: who and I felt like in the last hour of

1137
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: us talking, I can tell that you're you're an artist person.

1138
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:12,760
Speaker 1: There are there are performers, there are artists, there are musicians,

1139
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 1: and they're all the same, but they're really not. An

1140
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: artist likes a full representation of them and they don't

1141
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: really focus on the accolades that come with it. They

1142
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 1: just want that product to be pure because it makes

1143
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,959
Speaker 1: them feel pure. That's what I feel from you through

1144
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,240
Speaker 1: talking to you. We just said that's accurate. That is accurate,

1145
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: and too, it's trust me. I want I want lots

1146
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 1: of people to know about Lanco. I want Lando to

1147
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 1: be absolutely huge. I would love to be a huge success,

1148
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: but if that's going to happen, I want everyone to

1149
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: be on the same page. I want the fans. If

1150
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: you have fans of audience, you want them. You want

1151
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,439
Speaker 1: to feel like you all have a common thread, which

1152
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:52,800
Speaker 1: is this music. And so I absolutely I want huge

1153
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: things for Lanco. I literally want to be the biggest

1154
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: band there is in country music. But if it's going

1155
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: to happen I wanted to happen. I want to be

1156
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 1: able to sleep it not. I want all of us

1157
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: be able to sleep in eye and be like, we

1158
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,919
Speaker 1: are proud of this. Well, speaking of Blue Apron, not

1159
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 1: all ingredients are created equal. And that's why Blue Apron

1160
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 1: is awesome because they send you all the ingredients are

1161
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: fresh ingredients. It's affordable, there's variety, it's flexible, it's easy,

1162
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 1: it's guaranteed, and they come and you can make you

1163
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: cook your own meals and it's all pretty portioned out.

1164
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 1: And you make crazy stuff too that you would never

1165
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: make because they have these great recipes and ten dollars

1166
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 1: per person per meal. And I don't just talk about

1167
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,959
Speaker 1: it like literally, and I don't put it there because

1190
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: that's a good dude. I literally Trip and I listened

1191
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: to and Trip text him and I gotta text him

1192
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: because I I did not know their story. I thought

1193
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: it was so cool to hear just how hard talk

1194
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: about working hard and sticking with it and and uh

1195
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: believing what you're doing enough to stay with it that

1196
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: long through all the hardships. I was really inspired by it.

1197
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,720
Speaker 1: Success is not about getting it right. Success is about

1198
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,919
Speaker 1: continuing after you get it wrong. M Yeah, that's it,

1199
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: because you're gonna get it wrong five hundred breaking times,

1200
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 1: and every time you get it wrong, you learn a

1201
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:11,359
Speaker 1: little something else until you learn just enough to get

1202
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: it right. And do you have the ability do you

1203
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: have the fortitude to continue hanging through all the misses

1204

1241
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: that I'm in a band because it's such a different

1242
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: dynamic and it's such a cool dynamic, and it's it's

1243
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 1: and it's a cool dynamic to bring to country music.

1244
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: That You're right, there's not a lot of so I'm

1245
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm proud of being a band. Every fifth fought with

1246
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: anyone in the band. No, we there's been at some

1247
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: definite you know, confrontations that needs to be though. Yeah,

1248
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 1: it's a relationship, it's like a marriage, absolutely, and that's

1249
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we actually there was a time.

1250
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: It's funny, Yeah, you got the infatuation stage. Then you

1251
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 1: go to that stage where everyone's getting on your nerves.

1252
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: And when you work through that and you learn how

1253
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: what kind of how everyone ticks and what everyone's strengths

1254
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 1: and weaknesses are, then you kind of learned what buttons

1255
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: not to push. And and if someone says something that

1256
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 1: maybe a few years ago you would have like reacted

1257
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: to and picked a fight, you're like, you know, that's

1258
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: just the way, that's how he said, that's how he

1259
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 1: handles that. Or or if someone handles the situation a

1260
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: certain way that you do not agree with or you

1261
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 1: would not do it that way, you kind of understandable

1262
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: that's how they are, and you come to terms with that.

1263
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: I think that also there was strength we have and

1264
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: one reason that five guys we could stick together for

1265
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 1: so long. We do all have very different personalities we have,

1266
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: I mean, all five of us. If they were all

1267
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: guys like me, I think we would kill each other.

1268
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: If they were all guys like Trip. Yeah, they're all

1269
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 1: guys like Chandler. I don't know if they would kill

1270
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: each other. They might just like never talk to each other.

1271
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: He's the quiet, passive one. Have you seen all four

1272
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: of the other guys naked? Uh, like totally naked, it's

1273
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: just naked. Have you seen all of their genitalia? I

1274
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: don't think so. Who you gonna tell you? Have you

Speaker 1: night in Germany. Oh yeah, yeah, they would play for

1313
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 1: hours night. And I I saw one thing where this

Speaker 1: manager came out early on to see them play and

1315
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 1: passed on him. He's either manager or someone that wanted

1316
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 1: to sign them and passed on him because he was

1317
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 1: like this whole electric guitar thing is a phase and

1318
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: big band music is a coming back. And it's like,

1319
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 1: man to be that guy and think you missed out

1320
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: on the Beatles. You know, everybody though, the biggest act

1321
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: were all passed on at some point, and it's Luke

1322
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: was passed on. I mean everybody, everybody was paying. Everybody

1323
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: had failed singles like, yeah, I've talked to Luke many times,

1324
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: even off the year. Um, Luke and I are friendly.

1325
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 1: Off there would say it's a friend, but we're friendly.

1326
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 1: There's there are stages with me. I try to stay

1327
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: away from artists like personal so I can be objective

1328
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 1: and say things like long list tonight was just fine. Yeah,

1329
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 1: you know, well, no matter what, I still want you

1330
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 1: to say that if a song is fine, I want

1331
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: you to say, no matter how good friends we become,

1332
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: if we have a fine song, please say it's fine,

1333
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: because we need honesty. I would just not say anything

1334
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,959
Speaker 1: that would be that would be like, no, say it's fine. Man.

1335
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: So with if Luke at failed single, it's like crazy,

1336
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: like crazy, and he and people pass on on like crazy.

1337
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: So my point was I have no point. Let's do

1338
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:53,440

Speaker 1: don't get it, and sometimes I don't. Sometimes I don't

1351
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 1: get Ryan Adams, but sometimes I love it. Yeah, And

1352
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: that's that's the thing with me. It's like as long

1353
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:46,640
Speaker 1: as even with artists like that, there are things I

1354
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 1: don't get either, but you're more forgiving when you really

1355
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: love them. As an artist, You're like, that's not speaking

1356
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 1: to me, But I know that this artist has the

1357
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 1: ability to as opposed to just act where you're like, oh,

1358
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 1: I like some of those songs, and if there's not

1359
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 1: a song you like, then you're done. You're like, whatever,

1360
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't like that song. It's also the people that

1361
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 1: take chances I admire in respect even if I don't

1362
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 1: like the chance they took. Yeah, yeah, totally absolutely, And

1363
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 1: you know who as an artist and I want one

1364
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: more before I before I want to I mean, another

1365
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 1: artist is not in country that you're like, Okay, Um,

1366
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 1: you know I like cold Play. I've seen them freaking awesome. Yeah,

1367
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 1: and they they're that's one, you know, Ryan Adams, Jason's

1368
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: Bow are more. Yeah, they're more artsy and more you know,

1369
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 1: kind of more. Cold Play was artsy though when they

1370
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 1: came out super arts. So I love cold Plays combination

1371
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: of the arts, nois and the authenticity, but also their

1372
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 1: live show is what I would want out of the

1373
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 1: live show. And they're so I mean, they're so entertaining

1374
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 1: and so charismatic on stage and so captivating. So those

1375
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:47,959
Speaker 1: would be my three guy called play So good. Yes,

1376
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 1: every part of them is so good. Like Chris Martin's

1377
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: a nut, by the way, and i've met chrismartin a

1378
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 1: couple of times. He's nuts. He's really nice. He's nuts.

1379
01:05:56,600 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: But to be an artist, you're nuts, like I said earlier,

1380
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: and in our profession you realize that too, that to

1381
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: be super creative, you have got to have something inside

1382
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: of you that's different than everyone else. And when you're

1383
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: different than everyone else, you're different than everyone else, and

1384
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: it's tough. And I think that if you're like that,

1385
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:18,479
Speaker 1: that's why I'm just so thankful to be an artist

1386
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: because I've always kind of known I was different than

1387
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 1: everyone else. But when you actually it's your job to

1388
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 1: be different everyone else and and you're responsible for it,

1389
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of captivating. It's it's freeing from this

1390
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 1: talk here. And I'm I'm going to Mike d for

1391
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 1: his thoughts in a second too. I don't really know

1392
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 1: I was getting into it this. Frankly, I was like, yeah,

1393
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: I'll bring right up and talk to him. Um, but

1394
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 1: I don't like I there's an artist element that I

1395
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 1: respect more about the band now, thank you, than just like, hey,

1396
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: let's make a man to put out some songs. Yeah.

1397
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: You can't trick me either, because I'm amazing. Yeah, I

1398
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 1: mean you see that the bull crap. Sometimes I'm like,

1399
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 1: this is a joke, and that's I'm glad you see that.

1400
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: That's one of the biggest things we talked about that

1401
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: and that's we try and do video series stuff. We

1402
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 1: were to get across the dude. But you know what

1403
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, don't waste your time with it. Just

1404
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 1: put out good songs and your fans will then find

1405
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 1: it and then everyone like Coldplay. Do you think people

1406
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: knew it first, it took years first to figure it out.

1407
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 1: Don't focus on that because nobody cares. Also, nobody cares,

1408
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 1: like really nobody cares. Man give them a song, they

1409
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 1: find the song, they learn more about you, give them

1410
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: another song they learned. Then you have fans like real

1411
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: and we've accepted, we've accepted, you know what what our

1412
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 1: path is and what we're trying to do. It's gonna

1413
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: take time. It's gonna take work because it is it is.

1414
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 1: It's you have a relationship with your fans, and there's

1415
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: that first stage with the first singles, connect the first date.

1416
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: Then you know, if you have a hit, that's kind

1417
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 1: of like and you just keep moving along. And it

1418
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: takes an album or two for people to really understand

1419
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 1: and really I mean and I think artists keep evolving

1420
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: and it really is relationship with fans, and but it

1421
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 1: takes a while. I think when you take that app

1422
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: that does take off for people to figure out who

1423
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 1: you are and then people really love who you are

1424
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: and stay with you. But if you do that, I

1425
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 1: think that then there's more longevity because your fans that

1426
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 1: are not just like oh I love that song, it's cool,

1427
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: it's catchy, it's I really love Land, I appreciate them.

1428
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 1: I like to work, you know whatever it is, um,

1429
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 1: but it's gotta start with just Yeah, you're right. Put

1430
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:22,559
Speaker 1: out some songs. People like them to listen, and nobody

1431
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 1: fell in love with could play because of their art.

1432
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 1: They fell in love with Yellow was freaking off exactly.

1433
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 1: You gotta trust me. I know you gotta have a hit.

1434
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 1: I mean that's just that's you gotta have it. It's

1435
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 1: the name. Uh, we're run out of time. But who's

1436
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: in your class of artists? Not classes and good or bad?

1437
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 1: But you guys kind of came into this earth together

1438
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: of music, signing at the same time, like a few

1439
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: artists could they could have many hits and them. But

1440
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:49,759
Speaker 1: who do you consider to be in your class? Well,

1441
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 1: you know, Maren she signed like right around the same

1442
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: time we did. Now she has just exploded. She's coming

1443
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: in next week. Yeah, she's she's awesome. Signed. You never

1444
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 1: heard her? She she signed at the same time. But

1445
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: I would I mean we signed and then we took

1446
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:06,959
Speaker 1: a while to actually get things. Give me some answers,

1447
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:13,759
Speaker 1: same class, Maren Ryan, I would consider Ryan heard, Kane Brown,

1448
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:20,200
Speaker 1: Jordan reagor uh, like Brooke Eden. I'm thinking people that

1449
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: were like on radio to the same time. That's exactly

1450
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 1: what I'm asking for. So in five years we're gonna

1451
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 1: be like we were in the same because all the

1452
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:28,679
Speaker 1: guys are in different class. You know that the Cole

1453
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:30,720
Speaker 1: and Tyler Farrs that you know, there are a lot

1454
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 1: of these guys that kind of came up together. The

1455
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 1: thing that I was talking about earlier, I just want

1456
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:36,720
Speaker 1: to mention this before we get off of this, is

1457
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: that when I was talking about artists, what I appreciate

1458
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 1: is people that go and take chances and being okay

1459
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,800
Speaker 1: with failure as long as they took the shot that

1460
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 1: felt good and felt right to them. Didn't listen to

1461
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 1: a lot of people going, hey, this isn't gonna work

1462
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:59,719
Speaker 1: on the radio. And who's done that recently and without

1463
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 1: commercial success to this point is Aubrey Sellers. Yeah, and

1464
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of her record. Yeah, I've never

1465
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 1: I've never maybe i've seen her, I have that. I

1466
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 1: don't know if i've seen her. I don't think it's

1467
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: sen a live, but I love a record because nobody

1468
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:20,839
Speaker 1: else it's it's a full like country, blue grassy blues record.

1469
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 1: They're no acoustics, no doubt about it. It's a country record,

1470
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:25,720
Speaker 1: but itunds like nothing else. And you know what, it

1471
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:29,799
Speaker 1: could fall on its face and no way goodbye, or

1472
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 1: it could really switch up an entire format. It's that

1473
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: kind of thing totally. The fact that she puts herself

1474
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: out there to fail makes me love it. I love failure. Yeah,

1475
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. It's it's just and it's more

1476
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 1: interesting than just someone who even if it works, it's

1477
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:47,639
Speaker 1: like that you just don't want to be a carbon

1478
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 1: copy of something. You don't want to be like so

1479
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 1: and so Junior. You know, if there's a floor, you

1480
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:54,719
Speaker 1: don't want to be Florger's line, Junior L. We definitely

1481
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: definitely don't want Flora Georgia line first, like please, God,

1482
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 1: go ahead. That's I think as an artist, if you're

1483
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: an artist, it's like you want to work and you

1484
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 1: want to be successful. Yes, you want everyone to love

1485
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 1: you know who you are, But if you're gonna do

1486
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 1: what you wanted to be because your original and you

1487
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 1: offered something that other people weren't offering and so yeah,

1488
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:15,760
Speaker 1: and Aubruys Sellers absolutely does that. I have decided you

1489
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 1: are that Chris Martin country music to this right, I'll

1490
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 1: take it a little weird. You can sing, you're passionate

1491
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 1: about it, like it all right. Good to see man,
