00:07:28
Speaker
I know it's not usual that I start to show out with kind of a slower song, but surprisingly, believe it or not, I'm a big old teddy bear. Sometimes I'm a big old softy.
00:07:38
Speaker
And if you don't like it, suck it. Sit down and watch the show anyways.
00:07:44
Speaker
But got my man Eli and the Faster Horses. If you like country and western and a good old honky-tonking song, gonna like them and you're gonna like my man Eli.
00:07:56
Speaker
What's going on brother? welcome I'm doing well man. Shit I haven't listened to that song. yeah You know when you're doing your own thing you get your ears pinned back and you don't listen to your own stuff as much, or or you're so used to playing it, like you get the band version, but I, sitting down and listening to it I was like, man, I like kind of, I kind of fell back in love with the, with the song again. was like, damn, it's kind of cool.
00:08:21
Speaker
It's a great song, dude. I was telling you backstage before we started, you know, that was for whatever, you know, shout out to Instagram. Instagram is, you know, They do their thing and they put people in front of me and in in music and songs in my ears. And that was the first one that popped up.
00:08:38
Speaker
And I was like, day Garth Brooks and George Strait have a love child that I didn't know about. You know, it's the weirdest. I mean, yeah, I came up on Garth and George, but like everything we put out, somebody will share something, you know, strangers, like just fans, people people on their own going, got Garth Brooks and George Strait had a music baby. Here he is. And I'm just like, i had as far higher praise than anybody has ever, will ever be deserving of, you know, I'm like, yeah.
00:09:09
Speaker
yeah I'd like to think we've got our own lane, but you know you you do, you em you emulate your heroes. and shit i just I just did a video of ah Write This Down by George Strait. Those guys just fit my pocket. you know like Of all the songs that I got to cover, you know whenever you're learning new stuff, like the the George and Garth stuff, and a lot of Tim McGraw's stuff, just I'm like, well, this is easy. you know This is just easy for me to do. it just Just naturally, we i go like this with those songs.
00:09:39
Speaker
so you have the You have the voice for it. It's at that kind of calming, you know cool voice. It's fun to listen to. It's easy to listen to. you know so and ah got like dude The onstage presence, first and foremost, is something i talk about with every artist I have on here.
00:09:58
Speaker
I've
Stage Presence & Performance
00:09:59
Speaker
watched some guys' videos. You're an animal. but and I don't know how you do half the things you do in Carhartt bibs and what looks like to be steel toe boots. Yep. Well, I wear the, I wear the, they're Carolina, Carolina loggers. I'm a, uh,
00:10:15
Speaker
I'm at 12 triple wide is my foot size. So a lot of the times I'm doing 13 double wide. But Carolinas are the only boots besides like custom made Red Wings that I can find that are doing triple wide boots. And i like the I do the high ankle support and the in the hard toe because, like you said, it's rough and tumble. mean, yeah.
00:10:39
Speaker
harms it I'm throwing hay bales on stage. I'm picking my guitar player up on one arm, man, like walking him around with him and stuff. um Yeah, it gets physical.
00:10:50
Speaker
I got to be ready to go. If I roll an ankle up there, everybody's fucked. Yeah, you said that goes to show. Now now you're sitting on a bar stool singing song. Yeah, I can't do that. I'm i'm restless up there, man. I could i can't help myself.
00:11:03
Speaker
yeah Yeah, you're climbing stages. You're you're doing the work. I mean, it's just like this man is out of control. like I know. I got to rein it in. I haven't named the other guy yet, nor have I met him. But yeah I'm serious. it's it when When we got a good crowd, I black out.
00:11:19
Speaker
It's crazy. There's no greater or high. Yeah, that that that's that that's that's part of the, so like I said, we talk about this with every artist I have on here, that stage presence. You know you hear the songs. You hear the music. Yeah, you want to go see them live. You want to hear them live. But you also want to see a show. it Can you feel it?
00:11:39
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. i want to see a show. like Don't just stand up there and sing your songs. Give me something. you i want to i want to be energized if you're energized. I want to be in the crowd jumping up and down, singing the along, dancing, you know whatever the case may be.
00:11:51
Speaker
Oh yeah, oh yeah. That's what I'm all about. Now I taught myself how to play when I was 15 watching the Garth Brooks Live at the Wind box set when he did like three hours of a majority of it was covers, probably 70% covers of all the songs that inspired him, like little pieces of them and telling stories and stuff.
00:12:12
Speaker
i I mean, there was there was a point in time, like a 17-year-old Eli could have like done the great value version of that whole show. I had it like memorized. And I taught myself how to play guitar watching it. um I had the PS2, and I'd rewind it little by little and play it slow motion and sit there and figure out what his hands were doing and stuff like that. So it was definitely very influential and in the way that I do things. I can't quite get away from it, but hey, whatever.
00:12:40
Speaker
Hell yeah. that's ah that That is. that that Blame It On My Roots was a great concert. It's a great album. It's a great box set. I'm a huge Garth Brooks fan. I have... Still to this day, I have every every Garth album out there. So even... Yeah. So...
00:12:58
Speaker
Uh, but just to dive into, you know, hear the songs and the music that influence artists, um, is always great. I mean, I think it's, I think it's pretty easy to pinpoint, uh, some of your influences and the artists that that influence you. um but are there any others other than Garth that, that come to mind for you that, that you. Yeah. I, I'd say the three guys that hung the moon are Garth, George, Tim McGraw.
00:13:24
Speaker
Um, but those are my big ones. Um, I was and still i am, especially with his like his first two or three albums, Chris Young.
00:13:37
Speaker
chris young When Chris Young was doing Voices, you know, and Tomorrow, When She's on Who I Am With You, The Shoebox, um he had a lot of really, like, awesome, timeless songs. You know, all those guys had a... Maybe the... Garth probably, in my opinion, had the closest catalog to, like...
00:13:59
Speaker
even his album cuts were like those timeless like you this this song could get done again in a hundred years and it's still gonna be good you know what i mean but like yeah i think chris young especially with voices tomorrow who i am with you when she's on stuff like that those were songs i was like shit george jones could have done these songs You know, you know in a hundred years, so somebody can come out with voices again, and it would still be awesome. Yeah, yeah no no doubt. And like you said with Garth, those are songs that, you know, even even now, ah you know, it's it's been a good long while since somebody could cover something on the album that wasn't on the radio.
00:14:42
Speaker
and it's yeah still you know and then it blows up on the radio and it's like oh why does this song sound so familiar somebody just did that not too long ago it was a um a rock band did a cover of uh like a uh depeche mode song and i had and it was killing me because i knew that song and i had to rack brain and and i'm like going through all these songs in my head and i'm getting on the google box and i'm like what is it? I didn't, this is not an original song. I know it's not, it was all over the radio, but yeah, same thing with Garth George Strait or Clint Black. A lot of those guys, they have songs that were on those albums that undeniable and 100% be that song for a new artist or an up and coming artist. Yeah. Like when disturbed it, a sound of silence. One of the guys that are doing that now, um,
00:15:34
Speaker
A lot of Luke Combs' album does to me, When it rains it pours, you know, Five Leaf Clover, there there's a lot of songs in his catalog that could get reimagined and be amazing, you know, and I think that's the mark of of a great, you know, you have to have that level of catalog.
00:15:58
Speaker
um beyond the marketing and the brand and, you know, being a pretty boy or whatever you're, whatever it is that makes you attracted to the masses. You know, you've got at the, at the core of it, you've got to have like shit, man, that it was undeniably an awesome song. Can we play that again? can listen to that three times. You know what I mean? Like Luke Holmes is probably the first time Cody Johnson's had a couple that were like that, but Luke was, you know, just tune after tune there, especially when he fired out of the gate.
00:16:26
Speaker
with songs that were like dude i've got to listen to that like five or six times i've listened this song 25 times this week you know you got to be doing that to people yeah chris ledue was one of those guys you you had his uh know this old cowboy's hat i probably wouldn't when the first time i heard that song i probably listened to this that song 50 times and now if i randomly catch it and it comes up on one of my playlists I'll go through it. I'll listen to it five, six times in a row. it Can't help yourself. You can't get over it. um
00:17:01
Speaker
The Cowboy and Me by Tim McGraw is probably, right now, I think it's my favorite song of all time. That and Wildfire by Michael Martin Murphy. But like the Cowboy and Me, i probably i probably I've worn the needle out on that one probably 250 times in the last two years.
00:17:18
Speaker
And that's not a joke.
00:17:22
Speaker
So yeah it's like a once every day song for me. I can't stop. I'm like, I got, I got, I got a script. I know the whole guitar solo. Like I'm mouthing it and like air guitaring it. I can't, I can't help it. I'm like, that's the mark.
00:17:35
Speaker
This is what we need to do. How can I'm like sitting there listening to this song on, well, I ever have a song that somebody else loves as much as I love this song.
00:17:46
Speaker
So. yeah You know, you just might.
Storytelling in Music
00:17:51
Speaker
Dance for Me is is one that I really like. um And Dollars on the Wall.
00:17:58
Speaker
Bam! That's the whole band's favorite, too. That is such a fun fucking song, dude. And I'm going to play it later. on I'll probably close the show out with it. But ah that's just that's just a fun song. It's a fun story. And it it's true.
00:18:14
Speaker
Every... And I grew up in middle of nowhere, Podunk, Ohio. And I've seen my boy Chris Pierce was in here, Wally. ah ah he know he He grew up in the same area.
00:18:25
Speaker
And even my town that I live in now, we have those bars. They're all over the place. yeah it oh I know exactly where he's talking about. yeah you know not you Not for your personal experience, but for mine.
00:18:38
Speaker
You know, and it's the story behind the songs. You know, i've I've always found, like, yes, a song needs to stand on its own, but as a performer, I'm a performer, first and foremost. Like, I'm an entertainer. i love, and that came from the Garth thing. The way he set those songs up, especially being so impressionable when I was young, watching those things.
00:18:57
Speaker
I loved the songs before he even started singing, you know, because of the way he set them up, and that I've taken that with me to my live show, and and And what I'm getting at there is we did a show at the Mississippi Moon Bar in Dubuque, Iowa. Beautiful venue, by the way. Anybody watching this, if you're going through Dubuque, go to Paul's Tavern, get a cheeseburger. They're $4.
00:19:19
Speaker
And it it the place has been around since, like, the 1800s. And its they got this big iron grate drawer on them and a polar bear on the ceiling. You got to go in there. Just go to Paul's. And then you go to the Mississippi Moon Bar.
Memorable Performances & Venues
00:19:32
Speaker
And it's like this – it's –
00:19:37
Speaker
Huge stage, big, huge oval stage with the arc. Like, it's just all decked out theater stage with the lighting. And then you've got a honky-tonk dance. I mean, you could fit 50 dancers, 50, 60 dancers, like, doing the line dancing or two-stepping on the dance floor. And then... Then conversation booth facing the stage, like Texas honky tonk style seating up around, like elevated above the dance floor. And then a a fucking theater seating, du like double decker theater seating with VIP booths up on top and the VIP rafters on the sides. Wow. and you're just Dude, when you get in there and you've got a full house, you're just going like, what? You feel like you're in arena. and it's only got You can only fit 500 people in this place.
00:20:30
Speaker
It's awesome. It's one of the greatest built theaters I've ever been in. i mean It's just a treat. but Anyhow, we're in there. We're getting the show going. and i do this Dollars on the Wall hit for us. It hasn't like a boom you know in the grand scheme of things. But ah I told the story about how the song came about. you know I just opened the show where the band's vamping and I'm like telling people about this barn that I grew up in where my granddad's been bringing me in there since I was knee high. And it was an old sheep shed that got turned into a honky tonk. There's a waitress been working there way too long. Her name's Marsha. She comes to the shows. um is
00:21:09
Speaker
Yeah. And, and you know, that that like little minute clip, they don't even get the, they only, they get that, come on in. ban now And that's it. That's all they get of the actual song.
00:21:22
Speaker
But the video of the setup of the story is what took off. I'm like, of all shit, that's going to make one of our songs take off. It's going be the story setting it up. Not the song itself. Exactly.
00:21:35
Speaker
You got to find that right thing at that right moment that really just kind of... so I'll take it. It's on brand. It makes sense for me. so It's right there. It's funny that you said the stage presence and stuff like that. Because I...
00:21:50
Speaker
and because i i I just told my girlfriend as we were getting ready to start this kids got like Garth Brooks energy when he's on stage That's what you remind me of and watching some of the videos and it's some of the live concerts But yeah, man, you know and especially in today's world with the with the internet social media You've got to have that one thing that grabs people's attention initially real quick off the bat and if it's that story if it's that you know come on in you know whatever it is and then they stay hopefully they stick around and they stay they yeah you know it is but my biggest thing with socials to your point has been how do we get this live show on people's phones you know because i mean it is it's weird to talk you know i am my own product you know i tell the band i'm like we are my pillow
00:22:41
Speaker
Yeah. but but but dear mean We, we've got to, people people got to know who we are for this thing to work. So I'm like, how do we get this larger than life show that we're trying to put on, you know, doing our best to just, I tell the guys before the show, I'm like outperform me, beat me.
00:22:59
Speaker
Like, take take the reins from me. If you try, I dare you. I'm picking you up over my head and doing the worm. I mean, unless one of you guys has got a backflip up your sleeve, I don't see you doing it. You know?
00:23:11
Speaker
I got your dance cards, boys. If the guys out there trying to upstage you, you might have to start looking for backup band members. Well, dude, i'm I'm here for it. You know, I want them stepping out and taking that limelight and sawing that fiddle and ban and, you know, just going nuts. And it makes for such a fun show. And everybody's bouncing off each other. Like, you feel like just atoms up there. just do just do Yeah, it's it's collision sport up there, man. You got to watch out. You go to a Faster Horses show. Be careful.
00:23:44
Speaker
But I'm like, how do you get that on the phone? You know, how do I relay that message of how crazy what we're doing is to the. You just got to. Yeah. You know, that's that's that's a crazy thing. You know, like I said, with social media is, you know, it's a necessary evil.
00:24:00
Speaker
We love it. We may love it, but we also hate it at the same time as as an entertainer. You know, you have to get your stuff out there. you and And that's that's where it is today. You know, you know, the radios, the radio stations are still there.
00:24:14
Speaker
But hell, even most people listen to music anymore on their phones. It's streaming rights, whether it's Spotify or YouTube Music or Apple or whatever the case may be. um i mean, I listen to talk radio, not old man talk radio either, kind of what we do here on the network, just kind of you know fun radio to listen to. But once most shows are done and over with, I'm listening to music on on YouTube or you know whatever the case may be. So yeah, it's it's a little bit different monster today for musicians to get their there are music out there and and finding that that right algorithm that right timing whatever it is or that right thing it's yeah having it everything you need to back it up you know being able to display it over and over again the right way and and get the you know it
00:25:03
Speaker
you got to have a quality product. I call it a product. Um, it's cause what it is, you know, it's, it's what we're doing. It's what we're selling is, um, our music and our passion. Um, we got all that has to be in line, but then after that, everybody's got to be aware of its existence. You know what I mean?
00:25:19
Speaker
So if they don't know, they can't care. How do you make them know? Yeah. That's, that's the catch 22. You gotta to be crazy you gotta post that stuff. Yeah. yeah You're right.
00:25:31
Speaker
No, that's, Um, and, and it's one of those things, you know, sometimes, sometimes it takes a while, you know, not everybody's going to get that, uh, real quick, you know, that, that, that dynamite explosion to the top, you know, but it seems like there's a lot of those people that hit, hit fast and hit hard and blow up on the social medias. They're, they're quote unquote, 15 minutes burns out pretty fast.
00:25:56
Speaker
Yeah, I think you do have to have that decade grind to understand it. And, you know, you can't appreciate it if you ever do get there if you don't have to earn it.
00:26:10
Speaker
You know, like it's like if it's just a normal thing. um to be selling tickets and and famous to these, you know, if it's not, if it's not something that they had to bleed for and, you know, feel like they drowned for years to get to, then, you know, they're not going to appreciate it when they get there. And that's going relate to the fans, you know? Well, and a lot of times it feels like they, they get, they get their blinders on, you know, kind of like a horse. They get their blinders on, they get tunnel vision and then they're just phoning it in. There's no passion there.
00:26:44
Speaker
you know yeah And it's like, why did I just spend, you know, a hundred bucks for a concert ticket to to come see this when I could have just sat at home and listened to the music and put on a better show exactly in my living room. Yeah. and I mean, like, like for instance with me, I always do VIP experiences before our shows, you know, to, to meet people. And then, and then um after the shows I'm down in the crowd, the band it's mandatory. Everybody grab a marker.
00:27:13
Speaker
you're we're signing autographs so these people are done with us and and we're going to take pictures with them and love up on them have conversations with them and shit, dude, we we could have been playing in an empty room tonight. yeah Yeah. We could be not getting paid right now.
00:27:26
Speaker
we this, this could be a lot worse. There's a lot of people who would love to be up here playing in front of, you know, we've, we've been ah fortunate enough to get in front of thousands of people sometimes.
00:27:38
Speaker
Yeah. You don't think half the dudes out there wouldn't love to be up here, killing a lead guitar solo in front of a thousand people with all these girls swimming down here right now. What's wrong with you? Yeah.
00:27:50
Speaker
You gotta realize how lucky you are, man. Shit. That's one thing that I'm learning about and i and I love about you know doing this show is a lot of you guys are independent artists, your local artists, however you want to describe yourself.
00:28:02
Speaker
ah You guys are all about the fans. And I love that as as a as a fan because i you know I try to go see as many artists that I have up on here as possible. I think I'm within the area or whatever the case may be.
00:28:17
Speaker
And it's great. I mean, I've gone to see a few of them. And before the show, after the show, they're hanging out. You know, I approach them and they don't act like they don't know me. It's like, let's go get a beer. glick Come on. You know, and it's like, you got four other people with us, you know, just fans and ah grabbing everybody a drink and and hanging out. And I love that as ah as a fan, that's such a cool experience to, you know, be able to socialize. It shows that you guys are just real people.
00:28:43
Speaker
at the end of the day yeah yeah we are we we're we're real people with really cool jobs and we get to do something that you know the music lives within us at least i i'm speaking from
Passion for Music Career
00:28:54
Speaker
my own perspective like um i couldn't imagine doing anything else. Like, it's been hard, man. I mean, there's there's all been a lot of hard times that I'm going to more of them. But, like, you know, I've gotten... and it's really rollercoastery. You know, everybody's on board when you're climbing the scaffolding in front of 7,000 people. But then then when it's when it's tough and you're like, shit, you know, you're going...
00:29:17
Speaker
beyond paycheck to paycheck, like, dude, I'm mom, I'm broke right now. Like I can't come up for this holiday or whatever, or whatever it is. Um, you know, you you if, especially from home, you get the, uh, well, what if, what if you did like a plan B or do this or do that? You know, what what if, what if you supplemented with this or what if you took a year off? And I'm just like, i don't think I'm capable. Right. Yeah. I literally couldn't do anything else. like Like, yeah, I could probably be a salesman or something like that, but I'm like, I would hate every fiber of my being if I didn't chase this to to my fullest potential. Exactly. yeah that's and That's what it boils down to is, you know, it's it's like you said, it's it's easy.
00:30:04
Speaker
It's easy when things when you're on top of that roller coaster. But when it's yeah and it's time to put that grind, and that's that's that's when you learn real quick who the real ones are. When it comes down to, you know, busting your ass and grinding it out and, you know, playing those shows in front of 20 people and only a few of them are really paying attention. The other 18 are playing pool or drinking or, you know, whatever. Yeah.
00:30:27
Speaker
you know when you, when you, those are the times where it's like at the end of the day, when I'm playing in front of 1500 people or, you know, whatever, it's like, yeah, I remember just a couple of weeks ago, we were in middle of nowhere, ah Indiana and there was like three people there, but now, yeah.
00:30:46
Speaker
Yeah. And I mean, like we were putting on that, um, a benefit concert for Spencer, Iowa. And I'm just giving you an example from my, not not looking for any anything at all, but it just just to give light on that. like And there's so many artists that have the same situation like people that I know people that I really respect that that have this these same types of experiences I met with a guy this kid this morning that I was courting to be our new lead guitar player um that's a whole other story we'll get into that but he told me about how he lived in a van for two months shit when I moved to town and I had moved in a i lived in a van for two months when we were putting on the uh the faster horses flood relief concert um we raised money with Habitat for Humanity to but to build homes for
00:31:34
Speaker
Spencer, Iowa, but I'd go and do that and I'd come back down home to Nashville and I'd be like, Dude, I'm eating peanut butter and tortillas down here. yeah I'm, like, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars in one world, and then I'm, like, down here, like, figuring it out hardcore, like, counting change down here, and I'm just going, like, holy shit, this is weird. Yesterday, I, you know, you know what I'm saying?
00:31:59
Speaker
yeah, it's like, it's like, um I'm a nerd, so you have to excuse me, it's like the comics, the multiverse in the MCU, so. Yes. How the hell was that? But no that speaking of the Spencer, Iowa thing, that song Flood that you did, that is a really good song.
00:32:18
Speaker
and the first time, actually, let me rephrase that. Every time I've heard it, I get goosebumps. I get chills. Not only that, how cold was that water? And how long were you in that water? I was in there a long time, and it was freezing. It got dangerous. I was looking at the video now. like, I'm a shithead. Yeah, it looked like it was cold. I'm like,
00:32:37
Speaker
My guy looks like he's a little cold in that water. Yeah. Yeah. that Dude, it was it was, you know, I had this so... Oh, where do we start? So anybody that's not, that's, you know, is we're just meeting for the first time. um We were opening for Trace Atkins at the Clay County Fair.
00:32:54
Speaker
And my uncle Andrew... who's from Spencer, Iowa, where the Clay County Fair is, calls me up. We're driving up from St. James, Missouri. I'm driving our bus and I'm tired and um i couldn't sleep all night because I knew that we were about ready to go play the biggest show we'd ever done by a long shot.
00:33:14
Speaker
And I knew it was a sold out show and he's like, hey, we had some terrible flooding up here. You you should really say something from stage about that. You're thinking about the folks here and what had happened. And i was like, what the hell are you talking about, Uncle Andrew? i'm I'm freaking out right now. I'm shaking like a dog passing hammer handles. I got 45 minutes to get my show done on at this that deal. And I mean, like, it's 45 and get out of there. That's those big openers work. And so I kind of blew it off. and And we get up there and we get sound checked and we get to the point where...
00:33:56
Speaker
I'm up in the back of the... have a walk-on song, right? So the fiddler comes out and everybody's clapping big and gets everybody going. The whole band's getting everybody going and he does this big Celtic fiddle reel and the band sits in they're, Ladies and gentlemen, coming to you from Barts Unknown, bringing you both kinds of music, country and western! The Faster Oasis! You know what mean? It's just eight shit right out of the gate. And...
00:34:25
Speaker
Before that happens, I'm sitting up there watching these bleachers fill up 7,000 people. And while those people are filing in um they're showing Jumbotron footage of...
00:34:39
Speaker
the flooding that had happened. And I mean, like you're talking about 20 foot wall water walk, walk through this town. yeah so it's like a 4,000 year flood. I mean, like, Holy shit that luckily it's a fishing town, like 400 fishing boats live in this town. It like literally all of them were getting used and um it's crazy. And so this, the whole place is filling up and I got my in ears in and I'm noticing all these people around me. i mean, grown men crying, like balling, like the girls got their heads buried in guys' chests and guys are wiping their eyes. And I'm going, what the fuck happened? The facial expressions. I'm like, I got to perform in eight minutes.
00:35:27
Speaker
And I've got 7,000 weeping people in front of me. So i know. So I, uh, I borrowed the phone. Now my cover got kind of blown when I was up there in the back for, for like the, like 50 people around me, you know, I'm up there in a red shirt and American flag and seemed overalls and a headset mic on. Hey, how's everybody doing today? Don't mind me. But, um, I borrowed the phone to the lady sitting next to me and I call my manager
00:36:00
Speaker
And I'm like, hey, I'm giving a benefit concert to Spencer. I'm doing it. you can't You can't do that. I'm like, I'm doing it. Yeah. And so I told 7,000 people we're going to come back, do what we can. And i had to figure out what that meant after I told that to those people. Yeah. ah And so it was a baptism by fire, man. One of those open mouth insert foot. But, you know, you just wrote you just wrote that check. You've got to cash it now. Yeah. So we set up
Flood Relief Initiative & Growth
00:36:35
Speaker
a 501. We set up a sub fund under the 501 of the Clay County Community Foundation teamed up with Habitat for Humanity.
00:36:43
Speaker
in the long-term recovery program to raise money to build homes and refurbish homes for the flood victims of spencer iowa specifically um and the whole deal was no administration fees nobody's getting paid not even me so that's what we did and um it was awesome man we built a couple homes with habitat we built a shitload of homes we got a lot of materials donated and stuff but i was doing a um I was doing a testimonial
00:37:13
Speaker
with a cat named Everett Handy. And bless his soul, he's passed now. He was an old man. You guys can watch the interview, fasterhorsetfloodrelief.com. But this man old man in oxygen, if i was with Mediacom, we were at the FEMA housing, and he was talking about how the water filled the streets, and then it came up to the to tree, and then it was up to his door, and then it was up, and he's sitting on his couch with his wife. And then, I mean, like once it got up to his knees, he's sitting on his couch. He's like, we started kissing goodbye, it was over.
00:37:43
Speaker
You know, we knew it was done. We we we were going to drown. And he goes, yeah, we were going to die. We knew that for sure. And the way he told this story was just perfectly descriptive and harrowing.
00:37:57
Speaker
You know? Yeah, it was nuts to sit. I'm sitting there like holding the microphone and I'm like, kind of like, keep it together, Eli. Holy shit.
00:38:08
Speaker
And it was wild to hear him talk like that. and And I walked out of there and I wrote that song. so it's a great song man and and you know it's awesome that uh it's awesome that you're you guys were able to uh do something like that and give back to the community and you know and take you i'm sure your manager was losing their freaking mind but but to be able to do that and put it together and and work with the community and come back to the community and talk to the people i mean that's
00:38:43
Speaker
it's it's not one of those things where it's like, oh, I'm going to brag about this later on. that right No, it's a subject. I didn't even know if I was gonna be able to pull it off. my My uncle Andrew called me up and he goes, you know, if we're going to do this, we're going to have to do it.
00:39:01
Speaker
yeah he goes it's going to be you and me against the world we're going to go out there and we're going to go start knocking on doors and and we're going raise this money and we're going to we're going to do it so i i grabbed a blazer and a cowboy hat and i got in the truck i got my ass up from nashville to spencer and i spent the about two and a half months three months up there um and i mean i went into I went into the CEO of Fairway and I went to like Casey's General Stores and Valero and Van Meter and Echo's Electrical, like multi-state regional or nationwide conglomeration like corporations, huge thousand location stores. And I told him I was on a mission from God. You know what I mean?
00:39:49
Speaker
My uncle Andrew, um we got Blue Bunny in on the deal. It was wild. But I just, you know, I said, I don't give a fuck. You know, I'm doing this for free. And so are you. Fucking you. You enter. You're out because this is legit. That's that's what I hit him with. I was like, this is what we're doing. This is why we're doing it. I'm keeping my end of the bargain up. You enter. You out.
00:40:09
Speaker
Yeah. Absolutely. so it And it's tough for, it's when do you when you hit them like that, it's tough for, no matter how big or small they are, it's tough for them to go, yeah, no, we're going to go ahead and hard pass on that. Because you you know you don't want your name on that. you don't want You don't want to be on that no-go list. Like, yeah, you know, you're a multi-billion dollar company. You couldn't cop up a couple thousand dollars. Come on now. Yeah, something, you know, and in like Hy-Vee did great. So did Fairway. And and um that we just, we got a lot of awesome donations. People really pooling together together and giving a giving a shit about about folks. And and um that was the whole goal. But ah my Uncle Andrew and I, we got in the truck.
00:40:54
Speaker
I mean, he about damn near lost his business. He and I were going at it. We were doing 18-hour days on that deal, which is, you know learning how to do it and doing it at the same time.
00:41:05
Speaker
And um I was like, we got into day two and I go, you know, by the time we get done with this deal, we're we're probably neither of us can be the same ever again. You know what I mean? It's like, ah it's like a movie.
00:41:22
Speaker
Yeah. ah So I don't know. I could go on and on. I mean, it was such a huge part of my life for the like eight months there. It almost feels like a fever dream. yeah ah i couldn't imagine I couldn't imagine having the conversations with people that were affected by it or you know um um you know that that would That would be tough.
00:41:41
Speaker
and Anybody with a soul or with a conscience, it's going weigh heavy on you to hear somebody's stories and how they were affected. And it's got to take a toll ah mentally on you.
00:41:54
Speaker
And that's that's one of those things that yeah you can't... Once it's there, it's there. you know Yeah. And i was like, I mean, i mean they're going to do it all the way. i got on camera so many times, man. I traveled all around the Midwest just promoting it and putting it together and and and making people aware of it, raising for it. It was... it it was It was a great education.
00:42:19
Speaker
I learned a lot. i Like looking back on it now, I'm like, it was a School of Hard Knocks masterclass. My grandmother says I got my ah my ah MBA and via the School of Hard Knocks and in philanthropy and in event running.
00:42:36
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, that is that is a... ah You know, some people like to dip their toes into the ah charity world. and that Not Eli. Head first, right into it. Like, I'm going to take on the biggest challenge I possibly can or right off the gate. i'm like like how I don't know how I could have gone any bigger. Yeah, to be... i like Like, within...
00:42:56
Speaker
any sort of remote relative reason. um But I couldn't do it again, at least not for a long time. Maybe once we're George Strait, I might take another stab at it or open my own 501C3 and do it that way. or you know, I know all the inner workings now. I know exactly how how a not-for-profit works and how all the inner workings of it go about and,
00:43:23
Speaker
Yeah, it's crazy, you know, to have that. twenty I feel like you're not supposed to know the kind of shit I know at 29. Yeah, no, yeah no i mean, it's it's it's there's a lot that goes into it, and especially on such a, you know, so to say, such a grand stage. I mean, that that that was a massive project to take on for your for your first one, just, eh.
00:43:47
Speaker
Fuck it. We'll figure it out or, you know, we crash and burn it. It's our legacy. Yeah, we got to help a lot of people. We got a great song out of the deal. And it it was weird how it kind of put me on the map in Nashville, too.
00:43:59
Speaker
i didn't expect that. That was something i I went to the CMA Christmas party and I had people coming up and talking about it to me, that i like strangers that worked for the CMA. And I'm like going, the fuck are you guys talking to me for dude i got 1700 followers on instagram i'm not cool yet yeah uh they just just take it and and enjoy it and uh you know hopefully it's one of those things that you know helps helps boost the the career and get you into places and you know get your foot in the door so to say
00:44:31
Speaker
You know, but that that's not the point. I mean, it's it'll do what it's going to do. You know, I have to take what what comes with it. But with the flood specifically, the the the craziest thing, the whole outcome of the entire thing, yes, we safe got people in the back of their homes. Yes, we refurbished houses. We helped a lot of families.
00:44:50
Speaker
But right when we got the flood recorded and released, two weeks later, Kerr, Texas happened. How you time that, you can't time that. yeah The song removed itself, in my opinion. and you know If you go through us posting about it and stuff, the Flood went from becoming a Faster Horses song to we the Faster Horses are its vessel.
00:45:15
Speaker
yeah We deliver it, but this song belongs to those who need it. and I mean, Curatex ended up in those people's algorithms or something, just like how you and I came together. and dude i mean you're talking thousands of comments of people going i've listened to this 10 times i lost my child yeah i i need i need this song like this song is literally talk me off the cliff wow like what
00:45:49
Speaker
You know, I'm reading these. I'm like, I don't even know what to say. Yeah, exactly. It's it's it's kind of it's surreal to have just a song, your art, like being that impactful on people's lives.
00:46:03
Speaker
You know? I'm like, how is this? You know, it's just such an atypical way for like somebody to... start seeing success in music you know i'm like i thought we'd have like a drinking song that was gonna go off i was like we have a song about hope against flooding and natural disaster be the one that kind of like goes hey wow what's that i'm like you know what maybe that's the one supposed to be you know yeah and you know sometimes that's you know people gravitate to songs that they they can become emotionally attached to whether there's a connection or
Emotional Connection in Music
00:46:40
Speaker
God forbid, a horrible tragedy. um But that's the great thing about music, man, is that's it's it's it' for the soul. I mean, it really is. I know that's kind of cliche to say, but, i mean, as a music fan, Lord knows,
00:46:56
Speaker
Man, music has saved me more times than I can even count. Yeah. and yeah Likewise. You've got those special songs. And in the thing, and we were talking about this earlier with like Tim McGraw and Garth about how they had these great songs, but maybe not all of them were hits, is the quality of the songs didn't come down.
00:47:16
Speaker
it was the subject matter that they were doing a song that was for that certain group. Yeah. Like that niche of people that, that need that song. Like this might be a song that like, let's be honest, the flood comes on you're about ready to go down and gets a couple of beers. You're hitting that skip button. I know I am.
00:47:35
Speaker
Yeah. I ain't vibing to that dude. And like ah getting all my feels on a whistle outro. But, um but for the guy who,
00:47:47
Speaker
his you know I mean, shit, literally, got people saying that they're their kids drowned, or maybe maybe they lost their home, or or you know maybe it's a smaller thing. where they you Whatever the situation might be,
00:48:01
Speaker
this that song is like becomes their anthem. Yeah. I mean, yeah i mean yeah they're like you said, yeah you're not going out on a Saturday night and go, hey guys, I got a great song to listen to before we go get hammered. you know But you know if if you're going through some shit, ah whether you need it need it or you're just going, it just life has a funny way of you know kicking us in the dick when we least expect it.
00:48:27
Speaker
behavior It could be one of those songs like, I just i just need to hang out at home tonight. need to sit in the car and go put this thing in park and listen to this fucking song right now. yeah Exactly. drink Drink a beer, maybe three, you know something like that. it just yeah great Yeah.
00:48:46
Speaker
Yeah. So that's... the I think what that's a good medium to long story about how the flood came about. But mean, it's such a crazy, and they oh, I have this song idea and I wrote it down. It's like, oh no, bud, this was a multifaceted, deeply contextualized, like year long process for this song to happen.
00:49:08
Speaker
it It fell in your lap and you weren't ready for it, but you said, fuck it. Yeah. Yeah. Epic. It was just like, um, we call them the aliens when in songwriting. When the aliens grab ya you, you to have that antenna up. You know, Larry, the cable guy said, you know, I've never sat down and wrote a joke.
00:49:28
Speaker
And what are you talking I'll never forget this. I watch i think
Songwriting & Creativity
00:49:31
Speaker
I was 16 years old sitting there watching when when Discovery Channel and the History Channel used to have like those badass, you know, they used to be awesome. They have all the different stuff on there. Same with the Food Channel. I love watching ah ah Anthony Bourdain, Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, and Man vs. Food.
00:49:49
Speaker
You know, i remember writing those places down and being like, man, wherever we go to this town, I'm going go get that giant five-ton cheeseburger somewhere. Right? ah um but ah yeah The Food Network is like crack to me I'm watching it i'm like oh yeah Now i want to eat that Whenever I'm going to a new state Or a new city I'll look up the Food Network Or go like you know Anthony Bourdain Bismarck, North Dakota To see if he's been there a Man versus food See where where he went and I'll go there oh yeah any Anytime I'm in a a new area We're going down to Florida here In a few weeks what part Down to Cape Coral area
00:50:27
Speaker
And I mean, wasn't, up in Ohio, but I lived down in South Carolina for about 10 years and I wasn't a seafood guide until I moved down to the coast. Now, ah now I'm spoiled and I'm not eating seafood up here in Ohio because I want one it with a fresh stuff right out. You know, they went out that morning and caught it. So I'm excited to go down there and, um,
00:50:49
Speaker
at work, one of the contractors was telling me about a seafood restaurant down there. He's like, you got to go. And that's, that's my main goal. When I go out of town or go on vacation, I want to hit up this the local spots. I want to find the best burger or the best steak or whatever per the locals. And I want to go try it. And if I try something different, I'm always down to try something different.
00:51:10
Speaker
Yeah. Get, get something that's the local cuisine. Like when I go to Jamaica, I'm getting jerk chicken, man. I'm from Iowa. I ain't getting a damn steak down here. What's going on? um and i'm in new orleans i'm eating crawfish and and uh um but you know what i mean just just like whatever is is on the menu down there getting the oysters whatever um no but back to larry the cable guy and this is anybody who's a creative out there i think you should take note of this because it's been really instrumental at least for me and and when i go into into it this will make sense but larry gatlin
00:51:45
Speaker
um who I've been fortunate enough to meet and write songs with, have has ah of the Gatlin brothers, said the same thing. But Larry the Cable Guy said that he's never sat down and just wrote a joke. And they go, well, what are you talking about? they go He goes, I don't schedule a time for influence to hit me. He goes, I've trained myself for whenever that funny thing comes along, I stop whatever I'm doing, no matter what it is, and I write it down. He goes, it but it's hit, for me, between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m., I get song ideas hit me all the time. Or, you know, I've been walking down the street, I've had to pull over in traffic, I've had to, um shit, I had a song hit me,
00:52:36
Speaker
When I was going to, he pulled through, but I was going to, we were going to say like goodbye to my granddad. Like, it was a bad deal. And everybody's, you know, everybody's crying around me. Got the family there. And, you know, the the young kids are seeing him for the last time. And I i couldn't help it. I had to start writing. And, but Larry the Cable Guy said he wrote one of his funniest jokes when his wife was in childbirth.
00:52:59
Speaker
You know, like, shit. Sorry, honey. I step out. I'm going to make a moneymaker here. Hold on. Yeah. I'll be right back. Yeah. It's going to pay for the house. This kid's going to live in. So we're going to go get this wrote down. Um,
00:53:12
Speaker
You know, things of that nature. I just think that if you if ah if you want to be creative, don't force it. um You can always go back. Like the writing sessions, like when I go to write a song or co-write a song, it's typically I'm taking an idea that I, or the inspiration that hit me organically. And then I'm i'm going to cultivate that and in tune it and tweak it now that I've got the bass. But don't try to force a bass. Try to make something that really hits you hard.
00:53:43
Speaker
um, come out, uh, out in the, we on the wild and then go and sit down with it later. Yeah. You know, that's, you know, the more organic, the better, in my opinion, that's, you know, uh, for, for these types of shows that I do there, there's no prep. I mean, I'll give you a little heads up at the beginning before we go live, but I just want the conversation to be real, genuine and who as it goes, you know, um,
00:54:11
Speaker
that's and That's a lot of artists that I've interviewed and talked to. that's yeah some Sometimes it just hits me. I'm out fishing and a song hits me. and our a are and Me being an idiot, I'm like, oh, youre like a fishing song? and They're like, nah, like a breakup song, a sad song. I'm like, okay. but yeah They say you when it hits, you got to roll with it. You got to stop everything you're doing and just go.
00:54:36
Speaker
yeah yeah you know i think joe rogan kind of he has talking points and stuff where he'll ask a question but it's mainly just like apropos just going off seeing seeing what's going on and i love the joe rogan podcast i don't know if you've you've probably obviously watched him before my memists oh yeah your your number one oh it my Oh, fuck, dude. Can you imagine? Shit.
00:55:02
Speaker
I mean, it'd be like getting on. I mean, he's essentially the podcast version of what, like Jay Leno or something like that. yeah You got to give credit where credit's due. I mean, he he is the godfather of all podcasting. um I joke around all the time that my my goal is to be better than Joe Rogan and make more more money than Joe Rogan.
00:55:23
Speaker
Why? Because fuck Joe Rogan. That's why. I'm in. I'm in. I think you can do it, Blake. Hell yeah. Yeah.
00:55:31
Speaker
Yeah. yeah he You got to give credit where credit's due. I mean, he he he started this podcasting thing and he put it on the map and and he's very successful. I love him in the UFC. I love him as a commentator. I think he's fantastic.
00:55:46
Speaker
um Some of his topics are a little bit too far-fetched for me. Yeah. Oh, yeah, totally. I've hit skip on a lot of them. Yeah. but you know there's some there's some he's done a lot of country singers it where he really gets into kind of like how you and i are doing but you know it's cool to watch a guy get to pick luke combs's brain you know or carl's wesley godwin's brain and and okay how'd they how they you know my mind is always going how'd they do it you know what obviously you got to be good enough you got to have the songs you got to have the catalog you got to have the show but like okay now you got this how would you turn it into
00:56:24
Speaker
the successful business around it. Yeah. How did you navigate that, that, that, that train, you know, successfully without derailing it, you know, catching, you know, catching everything and on fire. But yeah, it's a, it's, it's, it's crazy thing. And it's, it's wild to kind of, you know,
00:56:44
Speaker
had that opportunity, you know, and for Joe Rogan or any, any podcaster out there, you know, that has the opportunity to get to sit down and talk to, you know, artists, what no matter what they do, whether it's music or standup or movies and television or whatever the case may be, but to be able to just kind of pick their brain and see, you know, where, where exactly were are you guys doing or what were you doing? Why did you decide to, what was that turning point for you that was like, Oh, you know what, I'm going to do music. Yeah.
00:57:11
Speaker
Yeah. And sometimes it's just in them. You know what mean? Charles Wesley Godwin was, um i resonated with him a lot because, you know, ah i've I've been dirt broke. Like he says, like he talks about, he talked about,
00:57:27
Speaker
living in in his car for like years and i'm like like sleeping in the back seat of a of like a camry for years chasing it and you know it i have to keep that open mind that like when I'm, when I'm having these stories and, and, you know, mom calls me up and I'm in like a leaky trailer or like I'm living in the van or what what, you know, wherever it's been in the past, you know, like that is so abnormal. They're like, the fuck are you still doing it, dude? What's wrong with And like normal people who don't have this insatiable burning, like I have to do this, you know,
00:58:10
Speaker
thing that's just like i don't I don't have a choice I have to do it you know um people who don't have that they they can't get their head around that kind of instability and that kind of like just willing to grind that hard yeah yeah exactly that's you know there are too many people real quick I don't mean to no here was yeah I see you guys in there I see y all y'all Daniel how many folks you got in there uh there's don't know about five or six people in there what's up guys
00:58:45
Speaker
uh i see y'all uh yeah we all of our shows are always live uh sometimes the conversation kind of takes over and then i feel like i neglect the chat but i see you chatterbox i love you guys thank you for watching and uh we'll hit up some of your questions here in in a few minutes yeah but hey hit me with a question sure enough about you guys let's talk about me for a little while yeah um no yeah that's that's the funny thing is you know like we kind of said earlier The ones who want it, i mean they're going blood, sweat, and tears. you're gonna
00:59:16
Speaker
yeah you know You might ruin a relationship or two because of ah what you want to do. I burned a lot of bridges, bud.
00:59:24
Speaker
I'm right there with you, brother. Sometimes you just got to. Anymore, I got a can of gasoline and a pack of matches with me. I'll burn a bridge real fast. is what it is. Keep moving. You'll be right. Yep. At the end of the day, it'll all work out the way it's supposed to, and it'll go accordingly. I'm kind the mindset of, I'm done. I'm let the universe take over, and whatever happens, happens. And some of the other artists are like, yeah, we're just doing our thing, and what happens, happens at the end of the day.
01:00:00
Speaker
Cool. See, I come from, i can't relate. I come from... So my dad was ah was a two-time national champ wrestler at the University of Iowa. He went on to win the U.S. Open and and and get get a silver in the World Cup. And and he's a head coach on one of the he's the head coach for the heavyweights of the on the Olympic team. And he's on with um Titan Mercury. and it's just he said this amazing i was raised And the reason why i'm telling you this is i was raised my whole life If you ain't first, you're last.
01:00:33
Speaker
This is what it takes to be a ah fucking winner. You know, you know, my dad, my dad wrestled his way off the farm. And, um, you know, when, when I was, I thought I wanted to be a wrestler when I was a kid and and he goes, all right, well, you got to wake me up at 4am every morning if you want me to train you. And i you talk about like getting opting to get mauled by a bear every day, and you know, and stuff like that. So I've always from a young age just been like, i want to be the best in the world.
01:01:07
Speaker
I want to be the very best. I want to be that guy that once once I get on the map, I want to win every CMTA Entertainer of the Year award. I want to win i want to be that guy that, you know, I'm crazy enough to say, i i now, the likelihood of me achieving this or not is a totally different story, but I'm like, I want to beat all Garth Brooks' his records. I want the 15 Entertainer of the Years. I want to get the 51 number one hits, you know?
01:01:32
Speaker
Fucking somebody's going to have to do it. Let's do it. Yeah. No, I get that. i mean, people people think I joke. a I really do have my sights set on Joe Rogan. That's that's my target.
01:01:44
Speaker
you know yeah is you know Go big or go home. I like that mentality. Have you ever studied his stuff and been like, okay, what's he doing that's winning? why What makes it so good?
01:01:56
Speaker
i've I've listened to some, I have kind of dove into the Joe and this is, this is, I, man, it's, it's tough. um Cause I dissect shows. Like I'll watch people who are beating me, like beating my game and I'll dissect what they're doing.
01:02:10
Speaker
yeah Like, like how are their socials winning? Why are they winning? What are they doing? That's making them more successful. Like why, how are they beating me out right now? that's sort of what they What are they doing in their show? What can I steal from them?
01:02:22
Speaker
Yeah, that's what I'm doing right now with some other broadcasters and whatnot. I just find myself getting very frustrated. I'm like, really? This is so fake. But yeah, no. you it But sometimes you got to you you got to play the game and in order Well, what's authentic to you? you know what I mean?
01:02:40
Speaker
How do you get to your stage to the phone? Just like how i'm I'm trying to get my show to the phone. You know what mean? How can you make them feel the same way? Yep. And that's the thing. Just, you know, I'm over here throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. But I, you know, I, that's the fun thing. Like, like we said earlier, I'm staying on the
Podcasting Aspirations
01:03:00
Speaker
grind, man. I just, I try new things. If something's not, not working, you know, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna kick a dead horse, you know, repeatedly. If it's not working, okay, change it up. What do I need to do to make it better?
01:03:13
Speaker
What do I need to do tabu um to change it, to bring more eyes or get more years on it? So, yeah and And that means putting more on my plate. And I do. but Yeah. Yeah. I'm in the same boat, man. Do we have any questions from people or people listening and asking stuff? um We've got one question, which obviously they're coming in late.
01:03:35
Speaker
but Shut up, Wally. ah Where is that? Wally asked, who's some of your favorite artists? Oh, yeah. um But we talked about Tim McGraw, George Strait, Garth, Chris Young.
01:03:50
Speaker
Um, I've got, I have a lot of songs where the artist isn't my favorite, but there's, there's like, they have songs that I put like at at a higher pedestal.
01:04:04
Speaker
Like Hank Jr.'s, all my rowdy friends are coming over tonight. In my opinion is a masterpiece. Michael Martin Murphy's wildfire is a masterpiece. Um, let's see.
01:04:18
Speaker
Uh, Haggard by the Graskills, masterpiece, great song. you know And I'm always looking and trying to figure out where are the strikes of genius It doesn't need to be consistent. Being able to repeat, consistently repeat magnificence is insane.
01:04:38
Speaker
Like, like we you know, when we're talking about 50 number ones or like how, like, you know, like what the Cowboy and Me by Tim McGraw is one of my favorite songs of all time. Like, to be able to consistently come out with songs that good is like...
01:04:56
Speaker
If you could get one that's just like timelessly magnificent like that, you're already in the top. oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, one percent, you know?
01:05:08
Speaker
So I search for those in my music and that's what finds its way to my set lists are in the songs I cover like um a great one's Josh Grayson, like in 2002 had a song called nothing to lose.
01:05:22
Speaker
Mm hmm. Holy shit. You put that dude, anybody who listens to nothing to lose by Josh Grayson, you have to listen to it four or five times in row. You don't have a choice. You're like, I have to put this on repeat. It's so good.
01:05:37
Speaker
So I'm like, okay, so how do we like take all this from all these different artists in in different genres and bands or whatever, and then like kind of figure out all these different pieces? What what are the similarities that we're going to put into the Faster Horses show?
01:05:53
Speaker
Yeah. and look like Just a giant conglomeration of badass. It's just just a whole mixing bowl of badassery. Yes. Thank you. Bingo. Bam.
01:06:05
Speaker
Yeah. And then it didn't go see him and and you get a kick ass freaking kick you right in the teeth type of show from the jump street. Right off the top.
01:06:16
Speaker
There you go. You can't get yourself some of that at home. I tell you that. Yeah. that's When you guys, when you guys do covers and and and I'm digging your covers, um, Do you, um and this is more for the audience, not so much me, do you guys try to make it your own, ah you know, kind of give it your own flavor, give it your own twist, so you're not exactly copying, you know, their version or the artist?
01:06:40
Speaker
Depends on the song. It depends on the part of the song, um especially in the arrangements. Um... we add and omit things all the time and embellish things we're like i'm like so for instance in seminal wind by john anderson um that was joe spivey on the fiddle who did that that big haunting fiddle intro that's super iconic um our bass player sam and this just organically came about but ah i apply this thought process to just about every song we do i try to do something like this
01:07:17
Speaker
He starts playing that fiddle reel. boo do do do
01:07:25
Speaker
do Like the fiddle. It's the fiddle line, but on the bass. And I'm like, guys, let's put like a rock and guitar solo in the middle of this. say know Do that.
01:07:37
Speaker
Do the fiddle solo for the bass line. And so like you've got this i like alligator and the gar a guitar and you know big Telecaster starts whipping lots of hits, high-end solo, and the bass player is going... wo wo doooo doo do boom boom boom boom bodo do do doo do do do do And it's just like...
01:08:02
Speaker
ah five yeah Where did that come from? Yeah, it makes me want to do backflip. And so I try to, that that like kind of thought process is something I'm always like going, how can we make this song without taking what made it awesome? How can we take what made it awesome and re-implement it and re-imagine it into the song in in a way that makes it better?
01:08:29
Speaker
Yeah. At least in our opinion. Yeah. There's a... mean that's That's always cool when artists you know cover a song, and this doesn't go for five-finger death punch because they should stop covering songs. But ah when they kind of, like you like you said, you reimagine it, you you put it through a filter, and and you have what made the song great, but then you add your own touch to it There's a band, Blacktop Mojo, I'm a really big fan of, and they did a reimagination of My Girl.
01:09:00
Speaker
you know And My Girl is kind of an upbeat song. It's a fun song. They turned it into a breakup song. Oh, wow. Kind of eerie vibe to it. real Can you write that down to send me the link? to I don't have a pen. Otherwise, I would. Yeah.
01:09:15
Speaker
actually I'll actually send you the video. Yeah. Send me that shit. I got to hear that. going to write it down. You got to listen to Haggard by the Graskles. And so does everybody else watching this deal.
01:09:28
Speaker
Yeah. I got my little notebook here. I told you I'm old, so. Yeah, I'm good. I write down shit all the time. grassles Oh, man. Is it Central Standard Time there?
01:09:42
Speaker
Eastern Time. Okay, cool. So you're like 10 o'clock. over getting Yeah, you're getting close to You're 920 over there. Yep. You're a trooper, dude. Oh, man. I do i do this 3-9. I
01:09:56
Speaker
i do Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
01:10:02
Speaker
Two shows on Saturday. And the Saturday night show is six hours long. Is this all you do? oh God, no. I still have a nine to five. Wow.
01:10:14
Speaker
would like for this to be all I do because once it becomes all I do, I'll be doing a lot more shows. um And then I do two shows on Sundays as well. so Cool. and What's your nine to five?
01:10:26
Speaker
i'm ah I'm a maintenance guy. I've been in construction my pretty much my whole life since I was like 12, 13 years old. So I do building maintenance and kind of a it's it's ah it's a chill job. I just started a new one.
01:10:38
Speaker
I'm digging it though because I'm in a retirement village. So everybody's cool and chill and laid back. They just do their thing. Yeah. Hey, man, everybody got to be in some place. I love that for you.
01:10:50
Speaker
Uh, my man, Wally, he does shows with me on here as well. We'll be doing it full time as long as we keep pushing. And that's my goal. That is my goal. I want to quit my job and sit in front of a computer every day and put shows out and entertain the masses. Kind of like you, you know, you're an entertainer. I'm an entertainer in a way as well.
01:11:09
Speaker
So, yeah, absolutely. man You got to do your thing. I've been very fortunate through this show that I've made contacts and other avenues, whether it be ah movies and television. So I'm doing an acting show. Like I'm hanging out with actors and directors now.
01:11:27
Speaker
And then I have some friends in the comedy world that are standup comedians. So now, yeah, comedians. It's just like, I'm making all these connections. It started through this show. So now I'm able to kind of branch out and still cover all the,
01:11:40
Speaker
all the entertainment world, but it's, it gets exhausting. Cause like i said, nine to five job and I'm a dad. reach out You should reach out to a guy named Lance Carpenter.
01:11:55
Speaker
Lance Carpenter. Lance Carpenter. He's the number one hit songwriter down here in town. He's very accessible. He runs a thing called the music row coach. um And another guy named big Vinny.
01:12:09
Speaker
They both, they but you could get those, tell them you know me, they both come on here. But those those guys would be, I mean, those guys opened for Toby Keith for like a long time. And they've they're they're hit songwriters and and they've been around the world. And and they're cool dudes. I talk to them on a regular basis. um Yeah, I think you'd have a heyday with those dudes.
01:12:31
Speaker
Hell yeah, I just wrote them down. I got all kinds of notes here for tonight. I'll definitely hit him up. i yeah Are you down in Nashville now? Or are you back up in Nashville?
01:12:43
Speaker
Shout out to you guys down in Nashville because you guys, ah a lot of the artists down there have given me a lot of love and I've had a lot of guests on from Nashville. I always had a good time with them and to the point where they're like, bring your ass down here and let's fucking hang out. Nashville's on a bucket list. I'll get down there eventually. Cool, man. a good one.
01:13:02
Speaker
um So, yeah, no, dude, you know, and that's you know that's just me. I'm a big, big music fan, and I listen to all genres, and, um you know, getting to sit down with artists, at and especially the young and up-and-coming new artists, it's just such a joy for me to get to hang out with you guys and get to kind of pick your brains a little bit and hear.
01:13:26
Speaker
You know, I try to keep it ah I don't want to do the boring. So when was first time you picked up a guitar? Oh, that's great. So, uh, you know, why do you do this or do that? You know, there's, those things come up organically in conversation, you know, and the organically that way. Um, speaking of things that come up organically,
01:13:49
Speaker
You started to mention you were recording a new lead guitar player. Yeah, I am. i totally i totally forgot about that. So my boy Colin, um man, dude, it sucks. he ah He gave me a call, and he goes, I could tell by the tone of voice in the first five seconds that something was up. I'm like, what's going on, buddy? And he's like, I got to get a stomach surgery that's going to be putting me out for the summer.
01:14:16
Speaker
Oh, no. and i'm like what the fuck you know i'm for you know for his own disrespect to him i'm not going to go into details but like yeah but now i'm like well buddy i absolutely i mean i'll roll you out there in a stretcher if you can swing it but it doesn't sound like you can do the bus life and hes said you can rep he's like you need to start looking you're you're he goes i'm i'm fucked and so are you and i'm like okay so
01:14:48
Speaker
I got to start looking for a new league guitar player. It sucks, man, because Colin was really good. Still is, you know, and I gladly have him back. um And he didn't want to leave, but it's just, it's one of them deals.
01:15:01
Speaker
So it was unfortunate. Like you said, the universe likes to kick you in the dick every once in a while. Oh yeah. My nuts are up in my neck right now. it isn't him His popped out his ear or something like that. stuff him back in, swallow him down.
01:15:17
Speaker
out Hopefully everything goes well for that. And, you know, he'll he'll get recovered and get back on the road with you, man. Yeah. i mean, if anybody's watching this, if you're a lead guitar player and you want to tour, um you've got to be really good. going to be honest with you. my My audition, I send you a link and it's like it.
01:15:38
Speaker
If you ah the balls in your court. If whenever you pick your audition date, if you miss a note, I'm walking out. Jeez. Don't fuck up. You got, if you, if you can't nail five songs on your own timeline, you can't do our show.
01:15:52
Speaker
Yeah. But there's no there's no chance that you're going to make it through a faster horses show. You know what I mean? I'm like that level of, of homework and intent and just like deliberate, like memorization of these songs.
01:16:04
Speaker
I'm like, okay, you did it for five. You showed me that you can do it. um You've got a hundred more. yeah species so I mean, anybody, I tell anybody that joins our show just by the nature of it and what we've built. I'm like, it's a tough show.
01:16:25
Speaker
You can't really miss. You have to be at the level of the rest of the band yeah because the rest of the band, it's like what, what we're going to kill red Mexico and then turn around and like flub a cover song or what? No, you can't. It's all going to be up there.
01:16:39
Speaker
and um if you drop the ball the rest of the band's so good that everybody's gonna know yeah it yeah there's just no room for it we're we're all kind of in the same boat we got to be on the same level so and Yeah, that's intense. Speaking of the shows and being on level with you guys, ah you got a big summer lined up, spring, summer lined up. Are you going to hit the road are you going able to? Yeah, man. I mean, we we've got like 25. Hopefully, I'm hoping by the time we'll be announcing on Sunday when our tour schedule. And I'm hoping by the by the time May rolls around, my contracts will all have come in and I've got about 30 on the books.
01:17:25
Speaker
So, yeah. yeah it should be a good summer i called every dadgum county fair in ohio shit um you know i'm the new kid on the block i get it whatever but yeah well i'm trying to give them your guys's cleveland house of blues and all that good stuff that'd be cool that'd be cool yeah mean there's there there's there's a nice a nice music scene in ohio from cincy up to cleveland everywhere in between Columbus area, even in my area, we've got a couple, uh, where I'm at, we've got a couple really nice venues, um, that bring in all different.

That's what we're going to do.
01:28:31
Speaker
Wednesdays another new show clicks comedy lounge and we're sitting down with stand-up comedians Just conversating shooting the shit um I did think about maybe offering them up ah like a five-minute set, but then I was like and That's not really gonna work Because we're live on the internet and they don't get that instant reaction and it's kind of important in comedy and ah so But nonetheless, there will be stories. That's a great thing, man. We get stories from the road from all these guys, behind the scenes, and a lot of, surprisingly, a lot of exclusive content on on these shows that you're not going to see or hear anywhere else, which is kind of wild.
01:29:15
Speaker
And then Thursdays, Wally and Johnny are back again. They're either talking dinosaurs or other creatures in the animal planet. ah Or they're talking more motorsports, man. Wally is 100% fully invested in the motorsports world and locking in and lots of great guests, a lot lot of oh great things coming up. Obviously, we're rolling into spring and summer, so hopefully we can get some live events or some pre-recorded events that Wally will share with us.
01:29:53
Speaker
I may try to get out there. Kayla and I may try to get out there and go to some of these events. I love the motorsports world. I may not know much about it, but I'm a fan and I enjoy watching it. so um And then Fridays, I don't know if that's going to become a a permanent thing. Excuse me.
