1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the fifth episode of Unsigned and Independent with

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell. Kevin continues to look for different artists. A

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: goal of his is to find a reason why these

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: artists or bands may be unique or interesting to you guys,

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: the listener. Now we've had a former lobbyist, two ranchers

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: from South Dakota. You know, it's all about the variety

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: of backgrounds and the upbringings of these artists. That's what

8
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: Kevin's interested in. And this whole show is talking to

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 1: people who are doing it independently. Now we're talking to

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: Walker Montgomery today. You may recognize the last name because

11
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: that's because he's the son of John Michael Montgomery. Walker

12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: is the sign of a well established country artist. But

13
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: Kevin's goal is to tell walker story, not his dad's story.

14
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: And because these artists are independent, it allows them to

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: tell their story in their own words and let the

16
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 1: audience know what their goals are, what their dreams are,

17
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: without ever losing what makes them unique in their own right. So,

18
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: Walker Montgomery with Kevin O'Connell. He's got over five million

19
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: streams of his debut song, Simple Town, and he was

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: chosen as an artist to watch in two by Country

21
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: Now and Music Mayhem Magazine. And here it is Unsigned

22
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: and Independent with Kevin O'Connell and Walker Montgomery. Hey, this

23
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: is Kevin O'Connell back with Unsigned and Independent. This is

24
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: episode five. I really appreciate it. If you've listened to

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: the first four or any of the first four, they've

26
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: all been so great, so different, little unique. Everyone's background,

27
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: everyone's story and upbringing can be so much different than

28
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: each other, and this one is exactly the same. We

29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,919
Speaker 1: have Walker Montgomery on the son of John Michael Montgomery.

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: But I didn't really want to talk about John Michael.

31
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about Walker, so we dive into

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: walker story, his upbringing and how he never really got

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: into music until he was a teenager, which was pretty

34
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: surprising to me because he grew up in it with

35
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: his family. But Walker is a great guy. He's a

36
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: cool story. You can follow him on social media at

37
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: Walker Montgomery. Make sure you follow these artists. Follow me

00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: Here is Walker Montgomery, Walker around you doing today? Man

Speaker 1: you having me on. Of course, of course happy to

44
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: get you in here. I know I told you this

45
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: right before we started this. I don't want to, you know,

46
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: make this about your dad, but you know, obviously I

47
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: want to touch on it, and you know, talk about

48
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: a little bit and your upbringing. So you are John

49
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: Michael Montgomery's son I am, and you're from Kentucky, from

50
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: born and Rice from Kentucky born and raised. I just

51
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: want to ask you real quick, like what was that

52
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: upbringing being the son of you know, a pretty big

53
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: country music star. But you but you lived in Kentucky

54
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: your whole life, right like you were in Oldville whole

55
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: entire life. I think by the time I was eighteen,

56
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: I've I've counted it one time. I might have been

57
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: to Nashville like three times my entire life before I

58
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: moved here. So did you know growing up at all

59
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: that you wanted to be in country music as well

60
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: as a performer? Growing up? Not not particularly, uh, because

61
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: I mean, my my parents were so great. They surrounded

62
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: me with sports, acting, you know, all these different things,

63
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: and uh kind of let me find my own path.

64
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: To music, and it was It wasn't really till you know,

65
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: junior year of high school where I started picking up

66
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: the guitar and and uh kind of had to look

67
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: myself in the mirror and and say, hey, you ain't

68
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: going to the NFL, you know, but you too? But yeah, right,

69
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, I started picking up the guitar and

70
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: and that's kind of that's kind of when I fell

71
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: in love with it. But it was definitely later on.

72
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Did you You You didn't play as a kid or anything,

73
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: you know, growing I mean, you literally grew up with

74
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: it around it. So how did you want to make

75
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: your own path, fir, if you wanted to try to

76
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: find your own way in life. I don't, I don't know.

77
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: I think it was really just you know, regular high

78
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: school stuff. And I I picked the guitar or play

79
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: a little piano growing up, but I was always, you know,

80
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: kind of focused on on football and basketball and everything.

81
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: And I had choir in school and and and stuff

82
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: like that. So I was still involving myself in some

83
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: kind of music always, but definitely it took a second

84
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: to get there. Do you credit your parents a lot

85
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: for We're not pushing it on you? And let absolutely

86
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: live a normal quote unquote teenage life. Absolutely, And I

87
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: mean all I had to worry about in high school

88
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: was things that regular high school kids should worry about. Uh,

89
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: So I didn't have any pressure from them going, you know,

90
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: but you got to go into music, you gotta do

91
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: all these things and uh and yeah, I mean I

92
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: really do give them a lot of credit for for that,

93
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: because it's different when you find it on on your

94
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: own and and you fall in love with it, uh,

95
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: you know, on your own. But yeah, I definitely give

96
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: them a lot of credit for that. Yeah. You hear

97
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: about that all the time, whether it's sports or music,

98
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: where these crazy dads have their kids going to fifty

99
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: different games. That's seven years old, and by the time

100
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: they get to fifteen, they're like, dude, I'm burnt out.

101
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm done. So I'm glad that you're able to find

102
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: your way kind of naturally and organically if you will.

103
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: So when did you move to Nashville. Then you're twenty

104
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: two years old, and I moved to Nashville nineteen around there.

105
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: I was coming down and you know, writing and and

106
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: doing different things like that. But it was probably twenty

107
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: nineteen early twenty nineteen when I finally made the move. Now,

108
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: what was your deciding factor were, Hey, maybe I should

109
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: just go to Nashville and go for it. Yeah, I'm

110
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: I mean, it really was just that I wanted to

111
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: wanted to give it, give it the old old try.

112
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: And uh, I was at college. I was at UK

113
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: for what I called my glorious nine weeks and uh

114
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: joined a fraternity and and uh did all the college things,

115
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: which was really good experience. But I just had I

116
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: had a song that I that I'd written in my

117
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: dorm and uh, you know, wrote it, sing it, sang

118
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 1: it down, and we came down here and before I moved,

119
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: started recording and stuff, and it just uh song started

120
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: doing well on Spotify and everything, and I was just like, well,

121
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: it might as well, it's time go for it. Yefore,

122
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: I saw a story and correct me if I'm wrong.

123
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: Here where you played at a pre party or something

124
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: for football, right man, And a radio guy came up

125
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: and he said, Hey, I think you you damn good

126
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: at this. I'm gonna put you on the radio. And

127
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: that did that make you kind of uh or tell

128
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: that story first, I guess. And what that leads to, well,

129
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: it definitely did. I mean, it was definitely a catalyst

130
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: to to me moving down here. But yeah, I was

131
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: in college at the time. It was my freshman year. Uh,

132
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: and they had the University of Kentucky had a fan

133
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: voted Twitter pole uh thing where the winner would play

134
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: the opening game kickoff concert. And of course, you know,

135
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: my mom's voting like ten times a day and everything

136
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: like that, getting everybody to do it. And uh, but

137
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: we just ended up winning and we played it. And

138
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: my drummer at the time, I've shown him that song

139
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: and uh, I didn't know what I was doing, you know,

140
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: I did. I always say it was just a god things.

141
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: I've never written a song, never really sang a song

142
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: that I've written, obviously, and I just showed him that.

143
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: He was like, hey, we can put music too, and

144
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: I was like, well might as well. And that was

145
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: the first time that we have ever played it actually,

146
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: and and yeah, radio guy came up and me and said, hey,

147
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: I'll play that on the radio if you go down

148
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: and record it. And when that happens, you know, you're

149
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: kind of like, well, uh, the college thing might might

150
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: be on hold for a little bit, right right, I mean,

151
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: how can you say no to that, especially at how

152
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: old are you? Nineteen? I mean your eyes probably lit up. Yeah,

153
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: I get excited just think about it. I can tell

154
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: you by looking at you. I know you guys can't

155
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: see this, but I can see it in his eyes

156
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: right now. What'd your what'd your parents say when you

157
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: told him that? They? I mean, look, they were happy. Uh.

158
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: I think my dad really he wanted me to go

159
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: to college, just because he never got the chance. And uh,

160
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: because but he was, you know, straight out of high school.

161
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: He's playing honky tonks and and uh and everything, and

162
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: I was. I was too, but I was still going

163
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: to college. I was. That's why my grades might have

164
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: suffered because I was trying, you know, I was. I

165
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: was playing Proud Mary's honky Tonk and Lexing and Kentucky

166
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: and stuff and and uh. But yeah, they were. They

167
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: were excited about it. And I think they kind of realized,

168
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: uh that I had the bug, and they they I mean,

169
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: they've been supportive and everything I've done, but this is

170
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: this They knew it was coming. Once it once it happened,

171
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: they were they were all in. Their writing was kind

172
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: of on the wall, and it was that was the

173
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: last straw, if you will. Now, when you moved to Nashville,

174
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: what was were you thinking like I want to be,

175
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, someone big or you just kind of winging

176
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: and as you came out here and started started playing

177
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: at local places and kind of seeing where it went. Well,

178
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, as an eighteen year old, nineteen year old,

179
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: you don't know. And I didn't know, Like I said,

180
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: I'd only been to Nashville three times, I think, so

181
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about songwriting. Uh. All I knew

182
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: was playing a little honkytongk bars and stuff in Kentucky

183
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: and uh so, and obviously, you know, being being on

184
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: the road with Dad some I've I've seen seen some

185
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: stuff that I guess, uh maybe somebody who was just

186
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: completely grain coming town might not have. Uh, But yeah,

187
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: I was just seeing what happened, you know. I was

188
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: trying to get a group of guys that I really

189
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: liked riding with, uh and get as many meetings and

190
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: everything that I can keep booking shows. Of course, at

191
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: the time, it was just my mom and me booking shows.

192
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: Uh So, we were we were just calling county fairs wherever,

193
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: seeing if they had a little bit of money, and

194
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: even if they did and were like, well, can we

195
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: still come play? Uh? But yeah, I mean at the time,

196
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: I've really didn't have a plan, I guess, uh, because

197
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: I was eighteen and I was just like, well, let's

198
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: see what happens, right and then since so since then,

199
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: you do have a management team now, right, but you're independent,

200
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: you don't have UM any label or anything. But how

201
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: much is that management team because I'm interested to find

202
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: out people that come on this some have managers, some

203
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: who don't UM all are obviously independent, unsigned, But how

204
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: how much has that management team helped you, you know,

205
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: be able to juggle things or getting more gigs or

206
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: travel or whatever it may be. Yeah, well, I mean

207
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: it's helped tremendously. And I got a great team over

208
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: Red Light Management, uh, Sean mcspaden, Jenny Tack and ends

209
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: up even Senzo and it's uh, it's a special group

210
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: and I'm blessed to work with them. But they definitely

211
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: does take you know, some weight off of my shoulders

212
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: because they obviously know things that I don't and and

213
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: they can handle things that that I might not. Really,

214
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: even though I've been here for for a little bit now,

215
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, I still it might be the first time

216
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: doing something for me when they've done it a million

217
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: times before. And uh, but no, it's helped tremendously. Uh.

218
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: And William Morris my book and agent, uh, Kevin Maid's

219
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: has I mean just doing a tremendous job over there,

220
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: so the whole two. You know, having more people on

221
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: the team, it just always helps, right, everyone balances, it

222
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: plays a ball in some way. Now, do you enjoy

223
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: because I always I also find it interesting, especially nowadays

224
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: with social media, a lot more people, it seems like

225
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: since I've started this are talking about how they enjoy

226
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: being independent because you know, they have a lot of

227
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: their rights to their own stuff. And so I gotta

228
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: ask you as well, the same question of do you

229
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: enjoy that independent And you're still young enough and still

230
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: raw enough, probably you're still trying to figure things out.

231
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: Do you enjoy that independence of it? I mean yes,

232
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: And and though obviously you know, I guess the main

233
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: goal for everybody is to get a get a label

234
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: behind you and more people that believe in you. Uh,

235
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: but to have kind of that creative freedom really does

236
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: in some cases help out. And uh, but yeah, I

237
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,479
Speaker 1: mean there's pros and constant to everything, especially being independent.

238
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: But it it just depends on the situation. Uh really,

239
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: I guess. But owning and owning all the all all

240
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: the music, it's pretty nice, you know, right knowing that

241
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: you have that ownership to it. But it seems like

242
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 1: one of those you know, if the right deal were

243
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: to come along, then we can sit down and talk

244
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: about that. Well, I mean, and that goes into I

245
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: ment I keep mentioning the team. It's it's if if

246
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: the team believes in you, then that's that's the right deal.

247
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: And when it comes to points and whatever it is,

248
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: obviously there's a longer and stuff like that. But if

249
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: people are behind you and really believe what you're doing,

250
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: that just it makes all the difference. Have you had

251
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: any trouble in the industry because and maybe you haven't

252
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: at all. This isn't it at all, um. But at

253
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: the end of the day, as a business, do you

254
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: ever have you ever found it in the last few

255
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: years or growing up? But all like, oh you know

256
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: who your dad is, like you probably have it so easy.

257
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: Like even in the industry, have you had and you

258
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: not have to call anybody out? But I don't call anybody. Yeah,

259
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: But but have you run into those roadblots or people

260
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: think that you have it easier when the reality is no, Man,

261
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: we're all on the grinder. Yeah. I mean there's always

262
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: people that and this. I mean you mentioned a business.

263
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: I I just assume it would be the same thing

264
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: if your dad was a football coach or something. You're

265
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: trying to become a football coach yourself. There's always the

266
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: people that I think that way. You know, I always

267
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: gotta be easy. He's only doing it because the day's

268
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: doing it. Uh. But for the most part, man, I

269
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: mean I think that lucky, luckily enough. I mean dad

270
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: was Dad was very successful, and people respect that. Uh,

271
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: but they kind of they do. See, I'm trying to

272
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: make my own own path and uh while paying homage

273
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: to all the success that he had because he had

274
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: some great songs. But yeah, you do get every now

275
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: and then some people that or I don't know if

276
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: it's bitterness or whatever it is. When you first came

277
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: out here, were you playing Broadway or anything, or were

278
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: you more like the writer's round kind of. I did

279
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: a few things on Broadway when I first moved down here,

280
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: but then you know, once I started kind of getting

281
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: into Riders circles and stuff like that. It Uh, I

282
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: started doing more the live Oaks and Demumbrians, uh and

283
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: and just riders rounds, which are which I really enjoy

284
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, didn't didn't really do the Broadway thing

285
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: for that long. Kind of moved up to Demumbre and

286
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: pretty quick. Uh. But the Riders rounds are also just fun,

287
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's They're just fun to do. So I really,

288
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: I really, I really enjoyed them. I enjoyed the intimate

289
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: intimacy of those more than anything. I've been to a

290
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: few of them out here, especially have a live Volk

291
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: a couple of them. And as fun as you know,

292
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: watching somebody go crazy on stage and having a beer

293
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: in your hand, yelling and hooting and all er in

294
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: those writers rounds, it's cool because you can get like

295
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: the backstory of of these songs, and you can get

296
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: the artist or multiple of the band up there talking

297
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: about where the inspiration comes for this song or where

298
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: the sound comes for this song. So is that something

299
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: you enjoyed to do as well? Yeah, I mean, especially

300
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: when I'm on on stage. Uh, even the live show

301
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: when I got the full band behind me. I mean

302
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: it seems uh my TM gets mad at me. I'm

303
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: I'm almost try to tell the story to every song

304
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: just because I want I want people to hear it.

305
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: But uh, but yeah, I do really enjoy hearing the

306
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: stories and and telling the stories of you know, when

307
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: when the song was written, or if I didn't write

308
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: the song, where where it came from, how I found it.

309
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, it is a cool little thing. Yeah. I

310
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: mean me as a listener, I don't know how to

311
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: play anything but musician, but me as a listener, I

312
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: enjoy it. And when you sit down to write a song,

313
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: do you have something a process in your head or

314
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: does something just hit you that day? Because I know

315
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: you guys have these scheduling writer writer meetings, So what

316
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: what goes into writing a song for you? Well? I write.

317
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: I write about two to three times a week, and

318
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: that's just because I'm on the road on the weekends. Uh,

319
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, get get a one day break or something

320
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: before we go on the road. But I'm I'm a

321
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: melody guy, so I'm always kind of thinking of melodies.

322
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: And obviously I got a bunch of titles on my

323
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: phone and everything. But it, uh, the process, it almost

324
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: goes back to once you find a group of folks

325
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: that you really like writing with. For me, at least, uh,

326
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: you can kind of hone in on everybody's strengths and

327
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: weaknesses and stuff, and and uh, you know, I've got

328
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: a few guys that are really good with words, and

329
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: and I hate words. I just want to do melodies

330
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: and and everything. And then I've got some good some

331
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: really great track guys and everything. So it uh, it

332
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: takes time to figure out your process and kind of

333
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: learn how to do it. But once you once you do,

334
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: you can kind of get into groove and that sound

335
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: that you look for. I'd love to play a song

336
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: um of yours on here, but we're not legally allowed

337
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: to do some one here anymore. So I do want

338
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: to talk about, you know, some of your sound and

339
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: where your background comes from. Do you do you feel

340
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: like that nineties country is a sound that you've kind

341
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: of grown up and it's just naturally into you or

342
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: is that something that you're trying to get away from? No, God, no,

343
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: I think Uh, I think you you awarded it perfectly. Really,

344
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just kind of naturally what I gravitate towards.

345
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: And uh, it didn't when I moved down down here.

346
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: It didn't take me long to figure out that my

347
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: voice doesn't sound good on a pop track. And uh,

348
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: and I'm not dogging on that because there's so many,

349
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: you know, pop country songs that I love listened to

350
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: and everything. But it it naturally just the way my

351
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: voice is and the way I hear things. Definitely, the

352
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: nineties influence has has more, has has more kicking into

353
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: my songs. Is it just me? I don't know about

354
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: you being an industry, I feel like the nineties sound

355
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: is kind of coming back a little bit. Oh, I

356
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: think absolutely, And I'm I think it's a good good thing.

357
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: It's yes, it's storytelling telling music and uh and just good.

358
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: You know. I'm glad the steel's come back, fiddles come back. Uh.

359
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: That steel guitar is my face. Oh, it's just awesome.

360
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 1: I wish I could play it, man, but I've I've

361
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: seen some boys that can that can play, and there's

362
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: just so much that goes into it. I'm like, I'm

363
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: just gonna I'm gonna stick to guitar, man, like I'll

364
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: let you do. Yeah. Yeah, you had to EP come

365
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: out earlier this year speaking of sound, and there's a

366
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: couple of songs on there that I like, and I

367
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta say this just a title alone gets

368
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: me A bad day to be a beer? Yeah, I

369
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: think I think that's me every Saturday and watching college football,

370
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: and every Saturday is a bad day to be a beer.

371
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: So I talk about this EP a little bit. They

372
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: came out in March of this year. Is that correct? Yeah,

373
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: it was March of this year, and uh, EPs called

374
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: Russ but bad Day to be a Beer? U. It

375
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: is my favorite song on there. It's just and I

376
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: recorded that actually maybe two and a half years ago.

377
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: And even how my voice is now, I can kind

378
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: of I can tell that my voice is either I

379
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gotten deeper or whatever, but I've

380
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: or just matured a little bit. But man, it's just

381
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: a fun song. And in my glorious nine weeks in college,

382
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 1: we'd wake up on Saturdays. Of course we call him

383
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: catter days, and uh almost saying my brothers, would you know,

384
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: they say it's a bad day to be a beer.

385
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: And then I didn't write that song, but uh, a

386
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: great man named Dallas Davidson actually wrote that song with

387
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: a couple of good buys of mine, Ray Fulter, Cole Taylor,

388
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 1: and uh but as soon as I heard that, I

389
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: was like, I gotta cut it. I gotta cut it.

390
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean we can all relate to that. Oh yeah,

391
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: oh yeah. I gotta say, by the way, real quick,

392
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: my first SEC game I went to a few weeks ago.

393
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: You're probably not gonna like this, but it was Tennessee

394
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: and Kentucky. I'm sorry but I had to bring that up.

395
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 1: But I will say, I'm just saying a guy from

396
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: California going to my first SEC game is unbelievable. It's different, man,

397
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's an experience. Yeah, it was. It was great.

398
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: I had to throw that little nugget it well, but

399
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: I was on the road when that happened, and you

400
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: probably didn't watch much of it. Well, I put on

401
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: a good face for the show, but but uh, I was.

402
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: I was pretty mad. Yeah. I'm a big sports fan myself. Man,

403
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,959
Speaker 1: So I've been there. We've all been there. There, the upstand,

404
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: the downs, right. I know you don't really do the

405
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: Broadway anymore, but you still play some shows. I'm sure

406
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: we do a lot of cover songs. Like cover songs

407
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: is a huge thing out here in Nashville, right, if

408
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: you get the tourists in there, twenty bucks, play this,

409
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: play this. Do you find yourself enjoying more of like

410
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: the old school and nineties covers, even like your dad

411
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: or whoever. It may be just because that's kind of

412
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: what you grew up in and that's where you feel

413
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: like you're more comfortable with every cover. So we might

414
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: do maybe three cover songs during our set if it's

415
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: a long If it's a longer set, we might do four.

416
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: But every song that, uh, that we cover is I

417
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: think it's two thousand three and before. Yeah, so uh

418
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's but that also goes back to that's

419
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: just what I gravitate towards. And uh, you know, I

420
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: always say to the crowd, you know, if if it's

421
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: all right with y'all, it's, uh, every cover we do

422
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be nineteen nineties, and they all go crazy

423
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: and stuff, what's your favorite? Well, we always do sold

424
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: and and it gets them every time. Man, But it's

425
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: it's just a fun song to play. But that's definitely

426
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: my favorite. But yeah, I mean, it's it's just what

427
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: I There's no really reason why I do that. It's

428
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: just what I grab gravitate towards right. It's just a

429
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: natural thing for you. Well, Walker, what I'll have to

430
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,040
