00:10:57
Speaker
So, Phil, I've been kind of thumbing through your catalog of music.

Phil's Musical Influences: Legendary Inspirations

00:11:05
Speaker
where would you place yourself genre wise? Because it's a little, it's a little trippy. It's a little psychedelic, a little Pink Floyd ish, you know, a little Rocky.
00:11:19
Speaker
Like, what would you say that you're, you're a little, you kind of have created your own little, your own little thing. What would you call it? I really don't know, man. Like I, cause I, I just like good music and I like it all, really. like ah And I do a little bit of it also. It's ah hard to place myself. like Mostly, my biggest influence is probably like blues, like rock, Hendrix, the Beatles, the band.
00:11:47
Speaker
But like I like heavy stuff. you know I grew up playing a ton of Sabbath. I don't know. I played Metallica. I just like it all. Good music is good music. but And i it all ends up seeping into what I do.
00:12:01
Speaker
Pink Floyd is obviously, you know, Because I like mushrooms or whatever. Sends this man up blaze and Allegedly. Allegedly.
00:12:12
Speaker
pleasure
00:12:18
Speaker
um No, yeah, you can kind of, like I said, I've been dabbling into it a little bit ah but over the last week or so, and you can definitely see and hear all those influences. I just didn't know, you know, if you had somewhere that you like to throw yourself in there, or if you came up with your own genre of music.

Phil's Unique Sound: Psychedelic Rock Blend

00:12:37
Speaker
Yes. It's, uh, it's, uh, psychedelic banjo squirrel fill potluck.
00:12:50
Speaker
It's all over the place. Yeah. It's like, uh, yeah. ADHD fueled, uh, LSD trip. many call it mut rock His music is how the color purple feels when it rains.
00:13:06
Speaker
You know, I don't think I've ever been in a state where I can tell you what that feels like. And I'm okay with it. I'm okay with it
00:13:17
Speaker
I'm perfectly okay with that. As you guys said before the show, ah apparently I'm the straight edge member of the network.
00:13:30
Speaker
Yeah, he's very straight edge. What a square. that Such a square. just I don't do anything. I just go to church on Sundays and say my prayers, take my vitamins. I learned that from the great Hulk Hogan.
00:13:44
Speaker
So...
00:13:48
Speaker
um Michael, you are you are welcome to chime in if you have any questions. I got something say. yeah Yeah, don't think you have to just sit there and be on your desk. I never think I have to sit here. I get to just sit here.
00:14:03
Speaker
I got to step away for a second. he I got to step away. You guys got this. So, just trying to get a feel for you. Obviously, want to get people an opportunity to get to know you and stuff like that.
00:14:16
Speaker
How long have you been in the music world? Is it just something you always wanted to do or did you just wake up one day and say, I'm about to entertain the shit out of people? Well, think was about eight when I started playing guitar.
00:14:31
Speaker
And then my dad got sick of me playing his guitar. So he bought me my own. Well, yeah, I've been playing with my dad, my brother, and my uncle Gary Ring since ah I was really little.
00:14:44
Speaker
And ah it's just something that's like, I never could walk by ah an instrument without messing with it or thinking about it. Like I remember being in like first grade, like with my head against the window on the school bus, like kind of singing to myself and making up songs and stuff. It's just always been, I guess,
00:15:04
Speaker
Pardon of me. I came by pretty honestly, both sides of my family, there's musicians and
00:15:12
Speaker
my brother's super talented guitar player, bass player, drummer, or everything. My dad, you same thing.
00:15:25
Speaker
Oh my God, shut up, Britton. This is natural. Both of us have naturally colored beards. I say that, and then you're to like, well, actually, I do dye my beard.
00:15:37
Speaker
I've always had a weird light streak down the middle of my beard. but i don't know why, now it's... I got two of them. A lot of people talk about the salt and pepper. I got the cinnamon sugar, I like the thing.
00:15:50
Speaker
There you go Nice. i I'm rocking the salt and pepper these days. I got my two racing stripes. Everybody's convinced I dyed my beard. i If I dyed my beard, would it look like like this at the end of the day?
00:16:04
Speaker
It would be all one fucking color. Well, most people can't think because they don't have one. This is true.
00:16:12
Speaker
How do you think? some people. Yeah, without that the the glorious stroke, you know, the thinking stroke. Some people also do a lot of drugs that are currently in our comment chatterbox talking a lot of shit.
00:16:24
Speaker
And they don't remember something that they said 30 seconds after they said it.
00:16:29
Speaker
You'll have that on the big jobs. Yeah. Now, um
00:16:38
Speaker
being from, it seems like, up there in north north yeah northeast ohio i get my my geography all kinds of screwed up it seems like you guys are hiding some some gems up there as far as musicians and some comedians and and whatnot yeah there's an amazing amount of talent in this area gary peron you know like me uh there's lots of guys that like you know damien knapp uh
00:17:10
Speaker
I could go on like ah all day with ah with the talent stuff. Like Mark Sonny, fricking... I wish wouldn't have got started on this list because now people are going to be like, why didn't you mention me?
00:17:24
Speaker
I'm naming names. Dropping names over here. Just saying. Yeah, of course, Danny Lopez, Danny the Jet, Jimmy Jet, Rick Hartley, of course, who I... He's on my Mount Rushmore.
00:17:38
Speaker
Lopez is a nice guy. yeah
00:17:44
Speaker
Yeah. Like, just a band I grew up playing with. My brother, Chris Brady, and Randy Fitz but was our drummer, but, like, they can both play every instrument. You like, we all could switch up. and But, like, I've been playing with them since I was 11, and then they were garling with Garely and the Cat Daddies.
00:18:03
Speaker
which was pretty big blues thing around here for quite a while. I played with Gary Lee eventually. But a like it's ah the the tightest rhythm section you could ever imagine with those two guys. There's nobody I'd rather make music with than those two guys.
00:18:18
Speaker
We're doing it our whole lives, and I love them both. you know, like the brothers, well yeah that but yeah, that was in the kind of where I was, that was kind of where I was leading into that question with was, you know, who are, you know, some of the guys that you like to work with and if you get the opportunity to do something with them, you're jumping on board and you kind of jumped right into it just, just by rattling off some names.
00:18:46
Speaker
I think, um, um What were you going to Go ahead. Well, yeah, there's tons of guys like that, like Kayvon. you know There's the local legend guys. like oh i mean like you know Merle is amazing. Bass player, he's epic.
00:19:05
Speaker
ah
00:19:08
Speaker
Timmy Fredericks, amazing. Timsey Williams. There's a list that could go on and on
00:19:17
Speaker
on. I love working with everybody. I just like making good music. At the end of the day, that's what matters. And I think as fans, and so you know and that's something that that i know I think I can speak for all fans.
00:19:29
Speaker
It don't matter who you get the opportunity to work with. is long At the end of the day, it's good music. It's music that we enjoy, music that you enjoy liking, because I think that's the most important thing.
00:19:39
Speaker
think if you can tell that an artist isn't really feeling what they're doing, It affects the audience because you know we're going to sense that. you know You're not giving us the best that you can give us.
00:19:51
Speaker
and the yeah I've always had this thing where people are like, why don't you do this? Why you do that? it's like Well, because I'm not feeling that. And that's you know and if I was doing that, then I'd be you know lying to you somehow or whatever.
00:20:04
Speaker
you know it's like like a lot of people, come comments I've got and the compliments I've got have been because they can hear my passion in what I'm doing and that's because I believe in what I'm playing and what I'm you know presenting to you.
00:20:20
Speaker
And I believe if you're not doing that and you're just in for money, then I don't. If you're in for the money doing this and you're in the wrong business, I think.
00:20:29
Speaker
But I just, yeah, i just, I play stuff that means something to me you know, it's fun

Songwriting and Staying True in Music

00:20:37
Speaker
or whatever. But yeah, if you're not doing that, then you're lying yourself and your audience, I think.
00:20:43
Speaker
Yeah, what are you doing? yeah here What are you doing out here? you know The money will come eventually, but ultimately, I think you've got to have fun doing what you're doing, enjoy what you're doing. Or we're going to take the part out.
00:20:59
Speaker
yeah and that's going to raise name some people Yeah, it's going to resonate with your audience. I want to ask you, before we get too far into the show, and it's fresh in our minds, and and people are still paying attention a little bit,
00:21:13
Speaker
I know you said something we were talking beforehand. You got a brand new album coming out. Yeah. So what can you tell us about it? What do you want to tell us about it? And where can we find Well, it's on every major streaming service, you know, like ah Spotify and iTunes, Apple Music, all of them, like ah YouTube Music, Amazon Music.
00:21:39
Speaker
But like, I've just been putting it out song by song as singles. But like, it just, up until a couple weeks ago, it didn't occur to me that I had an entire album, you know, since my last album, at least, you know, ready to go And it's all stuff that,
00:21:55
Speaker
kind of caught me by surprise is like how much I enjoy it. It just, because I've like every album I put out, I was really into it and I enjoyed it and I was proud of it all that stuff. you But like this thing is, I think it's a little different. Like it's like, you can't, it's a bunch of earworm stuff you can't get out of your head.
00:22:15
Speaker
At least for me and the people around me that have listened to it. And I just, I feel like I'm not even writing and putting the stuff out. I feel like I've been, kind of handed it like I've been channeling it the last six months. Like I it's just like a tunnel just flowing through me or something. And I listened to it and I'm like, wow, that's, that's pretty good. Like stuff that's catchy and stuff that's mean something and all of the things that check all the boxes for me.
00:22:42
Speaker
ah And it's, I think it's definitely the best album I've made so far. And it's, You know, it's it's's definitely the most commercially viable. There's no seafaring songs or.
00:23:00
Speaker
But yeah, like I'm super proud of it. and i I just I would like people. I'm not asking anybody to buy it, but I'm asking people to listen to it. You know, I just because um I enjoy it and I think other people would enjoy it if they listen to it. and yeah I've got these stories in the past where people contacted me out of the blue that I didn't even know and talking about how much you know a song of mine or something had had touched them. and like Even a doctor I had back in the day. you know in ah And that was kind of stuff that kept me going.
00:23:32
Speaker
ah So like those are the the reasons I do it. And I would just like people to listen to it and maybe it'll do something for them.
00:23:40
Speaker
Yeah, no, I just want to say real quick, one of the first things you said, real quick, a real quick fuck you for creating earworms, because we all know how that goes about halfway through the day and you can't shake the damn song and you're ready to stick sharp objects into your ears and eyes.
00:23:59
Speaker
You know, no matter how much you enjoy the song, once it's implanted into your brain for the entire day, you're like, ah, ha, ha, ha. But also on the same note, that's awesome that you you you made songs that you feel are like that, that are going to stick with people and get stuck in their heads, you know.
00:24:17
Speaker
Yeah, it's been a case for this album for sure. It's either one or the other ones, like, which for the last one I listened to, it seems to be stuck in my head all day. So I think that's a pretty good thing. Yeah. Yeah.
00:24:29
Speaker
And I like the ah you know getting the people getting people's attention, making them feel some sort of way. I think it's you that's the key with music is is you know ah it touches people's souls. That's why we love it. That's why it's been around so long. It's a universal language.
00:24:43
Speaker
oh you know And if you're you're writing good music that's that people can relate to or is making them feel a certain type of way, that's a fucking win right there.

Passion over Money in Music

00:24:53
Speaker
It don't matter if youre you sell 100 million copies or you... know if you You only get, you know, ah few thousand downloads. I hope for the latter, you know, millions of copies. So, but, you know, at the end of the day, well, everybody knows now is there's no money to be made in recording really, but really glad you said that. I going to that being in every camera myself. Would you say you got into it for the money? No, I'd be doing something else for sure. You know better. I'd probably be doing porn, but I have the best porn name. Well, yeah.
00:25:26
Speaker
Okay, shoot. Best born name. What is your born name? Oh, Jesus. I think great. but but Nice.
00:25:38
Speaker
No. Yeah, that's the other thing, man. That's, you know, like you said, it seems like the money is to be made in, unless you're huge, you know, like some of these giant acts, but it's doing, I would imagine, like live gigs and getting out there and doing shows and stuff like that.
00:25:55
Speaker
Yeah. you get the opportunity to uh do a lot of that traveling a lot or are you kind of stay in your stay in your region oh no i love traveling man i like one like new orleans is one of my favorite cities like i was just there i played there uh few months ago i could tell in a place called we did two nights in baton rouge uh in a place called phil brady's bar so i found out about this place 20 some years ago when the first time i went down to louisiana it's in baton rouge and uh i didn't get to stop there at that time but like i've been kind of keeping an eye on it ever since then and it was like come my bucket list kind of thing i always wanted to play there because i found out this is like kind of a famous blues bar have this famous blues jam on thursdays and all this
00:26:39
Speaker
And ah so like I always wanted to do it. The first time I got to play there was like three years ago or something. and ah But we went back and I did a couple shows there a couple months ago. love doing that. And we came across this place in Magnolia, Mississippi and played there. I love traveling and playing. But like I'd really like to get on some festivals. That's like... ah I like the bar gigs are are fun and you know it can be a good time and stuff but I would much rather do my original stuff but a shorter show just like my best original stuff that people actually want to hear on a stage where know know it's a appreciated exactly ah that's what we're talking about earlier no ticket cost no don't fee to go in you have no reason you're not invested in listening
00:27:27
Speaker
talking about Mississippi Delta Blues what do you think about like the whole Robert Johnson thing just out of curiosity what's your take on that i always find out an interesting legend well he's a he was a Obviously, like one of the the things that they that by blues is still a thing.
00:27:46
Speaker
ah And he was amazing. Like he it took me a minute to catch on to it, like why people were so impressed by him or listen to it It sounds like there's three guitar players playing, you know, and like the whole thing with him selling the soul of the devil.

Robert Johnson's Blues Mythology

00:27:58
Speaker
I tend to not believe it, but but we I played a show in Magnolia, Mississippi a couple months ago, and it was great night. like I made like 300 bucks in tips, and then we went ah we left immediately from there. It was like 10, 30, 11 o'clock at night. We drove straight to the crossroads, where it's...
00:28:14
Speaker
I got three i camera and I took 360 video ah while we were at the crossroads. I knelt down at the crossroads and it was, it was, e it was eerie. It really was. I love what you say. I believe that you actually sold Soul of Devil. When I say being there was weird. It was right the road from the, what's it called? The Dockery Plantation. Yeah.
00:28:35
Speaker
The thing I found interesting about the legend, though, is, I mean, it's a well-known tradition held. He couldn't pick his nose when he left. Yeah. People him to be quiet. The bluesmen would tell him, put that guard guitar down before you walk the crowd, yeah.
00:28:49
Speaker
And they only wanted touch their guitar because they were afraid to bring string. And he came back and he's a fucking titan of a musician. Yeah. But I mean, that could either the way because, like ah some people say, he went and studied with this, you know, one blues musician who's amazing.
00:29:02
Speaker
but who knows? Like, I mean, it's hard to see somebody jumping up in skill that quickly at that age, but I mean, I've seen crazier stuff happen. 80,000 hours or whatever.
00:29:14
Speaker
about But he was like an individual like Hendrix, you know i mean Innovating and really changing the face of the music. Yeah, yeah. and one Makes me wish I was left handed though, because like all the guys that innovated and changed music are left handers. Because they're on their right minds.
00:29:30
Speaker
That's what they say. but Left-handed people are pretty badass, if I do say so myself.
00:29:37
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I gotta give up. I mean, you got Hendrix, you got Kurt Cobain, Paul McCartney. There's some pretty big names right there.
00:29:49
Speaker
Tony Iommi. Okay, i've got I've worked with this cat. He's, you might not be old enough. There was a plate in the top of them all called cherries. way back in the day, Eastwood Mall.
00:30:02
Speaker
I don't remember it and we're about the same age. So this cat used travel around and play there. he Well, he swears up and down, we worked together, that the Beatles were the first lip singers because when he saw them in 1958 or whatever on Ben Sullivan, they couldn't pick their noses.
00:30:17
Speaker
And then they come back two years later tripping out on drugs and these tight musicians, it's bullshit. So someone else playing that music it was up there pretending I got a cold bullshit on that again. That's his theory and he's a he a very smooth guitar player Well, there's so much footage of them playing at the Cavern Club and like before that they were playing in Hamburg That's when they got tight.
00:30:35
Speaker
It's footage of the moon landing too and I didn't have you know, it's a joke. It's a joke. I was there Yeah,
00:30:47
Speaker
yeah I used to I remember when I played on the moon It was a good time. I was on the moon's Saturday Nightmare. I kissed the

Phil's Main Musical Inspirations

00:31:02
Speaker
sky. With that being, you know, we're talking about some of these older artists and whatnot like that. Do you have any particular artists that you always kind of looked up to, your some of your favorite artists that inspired you coming up?
00:31:15
Speaker
Oh, yeah, like Engelbert Humperdinck. No, not really. Wasn't that the critic guys? What'd they have to do with music? No, Engelbert Humperdinck. He was a musician. Cicel and Evers. Engelbert Humperdinck. Isn't he the cat that that the Clark's wife fucked?
00:31:35
Speaker
You know more than I do about that. ah Vegas Vacation. Oh, yeah, yeah. Or no, that was Tom Jones. which who Tom Jones actually liked. but It's not unusual to be loved by anyone. No, one of those guys, anyway.
00:31:52
Speaker
But anyway, my tastes are, for and foremost, the Beatles. like Best band ever. There will never be anything. They changed the world. They changed music.
00:32:05
Speaker
The band, I've been obsessed with the band for a good 20 years now. ah And Hendrix is a huge influence on my playing, my guitar playing.
00:32:17
Speaker
And, man, Sabbath, when Ozzy just died, like, it really occurred to me just how much influence Sabbath had on me growing up.
00:32:28
Speaker
Because, like, my entire, until even in halfway through my 20s, I played a ton of Sabbath. what I grew up playing a lot of three-piece bands with my brother. and either a drummer or a bass player, whatever we could find, because he didn't have internet back then to find people to play with. you right Well yeah, it was like my brother's very versatile and we played a lot of Sabbaths.
00:32:48
Speaker
but Where did your dad and your brother play? How did dad learn to play? My dad taught himself like I did. And ah he was like mostly classic rock stuff, like very little, like a little bit of Johnny Cash, a little bit of Willie Nelson, but mostly just straightforward classic rock stuff.
00:33:08
Speaker
ah in his own style and he was amazing like that. It's something really special about having that relationship with your dad where you just rock out with your dad. You know what I mean? Like there's gotta be very few people who have had that.
00:33:24
Speaker
And like we would have like weekends for years where like on the weekends people would just come to the house and come down the basement and we'd jam in the basement.

Family Jamming and Collaborative Music-making

00:33:31
Speaker
and you know drink beers whatever once I got to age whatever but uh yeah we just hang out and jam all the time and it was just it definitely had a huge impact and effect and molded me and you know learning all those like uh things about playing with other people about you know the uh etiquette and not to step on people and where it fit your stuff in and how to complement the music and not hurt the music and all that
00:34:01
Speaker
and Is it taught or is it felt? well Mostly felt, but like in my case anyway. but like ah There was a little bit of like, hey, how about you?
00:34:11
Speaker
Well, there was very rarely somebody they had to say something. Would you say there's more collaboration? Oh, yeah, for sure. That's the thing about but anything you do as a group. It's got to be a collaborative effort.
00:34:22
Speaker
Yeah, that's what I try to tell people all the time. I hosted open mic nights for like seven and a half, eight years. And like, I just i couldn't do it anymore because it got from like, when I started it, I wanted to be like a collaboration. And i wanted I was really excited about getting those people up that had never been on stage before. Because that's what those things should be for, I think.
00:34:41
Speaker
It's like the new guys that don't get to do that. You know, like they get up on stage the first time and it backing them up and making them sound good. And then getting that first applause. get that shit And being a part of that and watching the look on their face. Like that's what excited me about it.
00:34:53
Speaker
But after so long, it's like it gets to be the same guys that aren't necessarily in a band. Just in a kind of pissing contest or, you know, or ego thing. And like that's like, I'm not all about the ego thing.
00:35:07
Speaker
I don't think I'm better than anybody. I just like, and if I'll play with anybody. and But when I'm up there, I think everybody should do their best to make the song, whatever you're playing, sound as good as possible. Absolutely. you Accent at each other, you know help each other, but not a collaboration, not a competition. Yeah, exactly. It's giving, it's taking, it's that energy flow.
00:35:27
Speaker
Well, I think shows like American Idol and stuff like that like actually really hurt music. Because it turned it into a competition and a popularity contest and it gave like ah a younger generation the wrong idea of what it should be.
00:35:40
Speaker
Because of the fools that they bring up and show the idiots that get on there. Yeah, because they don't care about who wrote the song or any of that stuff or who played the instruments or who made the actual music. It's who can sing and do, you know, look pretty. and Who can be that pop bubblegum star?
00:35:56
Speaker
Some people try to get me to be on those shows. I'm like, no. I just, I would feel like the biggest pony in the world if I didn't. I wouldn't win anyway. so How do you know that? Because I suck.
00:36:09
Speaker
Humility. Humility. The man doesn't suck. I've seen him.
00:36:15
Speaker
But I do, man. Stan Hulman's worth that. If start buying into the hype, it really turns you to come from right here. i Take him, for instance. Yeah, it's like, yeah. no But I'm the greatest at at everything I do.
00:36:31
Speaker
Who told you that for the first time? I can't be stopped. I'm the best. That's why I'm the champ, baby. Every single week, it's like, you hear that, Joe Rogan? Come on that podcast.
00:36:42
Speaker
I'll beat your ass at podcasting. I won't bite the man in a cage, but i I'll host him. You suck, Joe Rogan. Bill and I were talking before the show about self promotion.

The Challenge of Self-Promotion in Music

00:36:54
Speaker
So I have problem with it. I don't have a problem with it. but if I want people to know about me. I got to get it out there. He doesn't like to do that. And I get it. I really get it. But it's like, ah you have to. well i But at the same it makes you uncomfortable.
00:37:08
Speaker
My whole life I've been surrounded by people telling don't show off. yeah Don't, you know, don't. Anytime I even remotely, is like, look for a compliment, you know, they would slap me down and make me feel like, Oh, you know, keep you humble.
00:37:24
Speaker
Right. There's always room for improvement. I have a very fragile ego. So like I've had enough, like a negative comments in my life, I think to keep me humble for the rest of my life. A musician or a comedian.
00:37:36
Speaker
Yes. A fragile ego. That sounds like a comedian thing. Yeah. yeah yeah ah I was curious about like, what's your inspiration for a song? Like it just hits you in a moment or you have something going through your craw and you want to put it out?
00:37:57
Speaker
In both ways. Like it really is like is. It could come a million different ways.

Phil's Creative Process in Music Creation

00:38:00
Speaker
Like the lately they just kind of like, you I just have an idea for maybe the theme of the song, like what I want it to be about, and I'll start writing lyrics, and then the music I'll just, you know, try and, I try, it's hard to do, but it's, to make the music capture the feeling of what you're talking about, you know, like the atmosphere. The music speaks like lyrics speak.
00:38:22
Speaker
Yeah, like, it's hard to do that, and I've been lucky enough, I think, to have a couple of songs I've written, like, really capture the vibe of what i'm talking about in the music too, and when you get those two things together, it's great, but,
00:38:34
Speaker
I mean sometimes I'll be on the toilet and just like, well, you know what would it this like it's It could be a lick, I could be playing something, oh that was pretty cool.
00:38:44
Speaker
And then like my brain starts doing that thing and i don't i just and I can't leave alone, I'm like a dog with a bone, you can't lick until you get it. And she was like, are you coming to bed? I'm like, hold on, just 10 more minutes. i the same thing I get obsessed with it like because for me,
00:39:02
Speaker
You know, there's nothing more gratifying to me than like seeing the sun come up and realizing that like I haven't had a cigarette or a drink or anything else. I'm like sweaty and it's like 5 in the morning. I like i haven't take i came up for air yeah in hours. I'm so immersed in it immer and loss of what I'm doing. and like that's like That's the thing. like There's been so many times afraid I would never get back to that. It's such a weird thing because it's not like a pleasant thing, but it's like But once you're out of it, it's like, wow, you come here, you're like, whoa. like you know
00:39:36
Speaker
You realize you just i came up with something, at least I feel it pretty beautiful. That's the hard part for me, like coming up a new material. it's There's stories from my life, but it's like, I'm never happy with it, ever.
00:39:48
Speaker
There's always a way to improve it. I just get tired messing with it. Like Michelangelo said, no sculpture's ever done. just get tired of fucking with it. Something like that. Yes, I think that's exactly the quote. It was a rare time, like Moses said, eatin' ain't cheatin'.
00:40:02
Speaker
So you were telling me about another song you did. Listen. Listen. We'll talk about that. Yeah, it's a reggae song. act I love this song. Yeah, it's about me and Gary Brung. We're having a conversation about how like people will stand right in front of you when you're playing and like talk as loud as you can have a conversation to each other right in front of you. And like and so much so where you can hear them over yourself and like the bar can't listen to you because I don't get how people get that it's not cool respect isn't a thing everybody has anymore yeah and etiquette people weren't used to like live music etiquette and stuff like people used to know growing up back then because there were a lot more live music in a public thing you know but now there's a bar so they assume like whatever they're just gonna stand and talk but but yeah we were we were both pretty upset about it like uh just the how rude that is but like so i i wrote this song called listen and it started out pretty
00:41:00
Speaker
but I calmed it down quite a bit by the time I yeah finished it. That's great.
00:41:08
Speaker
ah you should like you should sent that You should have sent that to me, Michael. I just heard about it tonight. i haven't I haven't seen Phil out in a while. It's on my YouTube channel. Yeah, but I'm peeling through those a little bit. This is one we were talking about first time.
00:41:23
Speaker
I thought it was cool story.
00:41:26
Speaker
Wally in the chatterbox ask if you have a favorite style of ah music you'd like to you'd like to play well if I'm on guitar or piano or harmonica or but love playing blues like it's like the most you can really express what you're feeling a lot with blues but yeah but I like playing metal too when I feel like kicking somebody in the face yeah hello Some sick-ass guitar riffs. You were saying that the Beatles are all-time favorites? Oh, yeah. Gun to your head what your favorite Beatles do.
00:41:58
Speaker
Day in the Life. Which my favorite kid? Probably Don't Let Me Down. did that on the roof. and like and like I do that song quite a bit. and it's yeah It's one I can pull off.
00:42:19
Speaker
relatively, you know, I can pass it. I'm no Beatles, but you know, like that's why i enjoy singing and it's, ah yeah, it's a good song.
00:42:32
Speaker
lot people ask me, what's your favorite Beatle? like P. Best. Yeah. Billy Preston. Clarence Thomas or Clarence Williams.
00:42:44
Speaker
The old Eduburray sketch. Yeah. No, like, we yeah, like, they were all amazing, and that's like, the it took all four of those guys to make the Beatles, and that's what people don't get. Everybody, like, has to make everything the best of your favorite, you know, which is the, yeah you know, you get to see it all the time, like, I guess it's just a way to get clicks. and Look at ten different top ten lists, we get ten different top ten lists. Yeah, yeah. It's all of them. Who is the best guitar player ever?
00:43:09
Speaker
Nobody. It's an argument I'll worth having. Yeah. I mean, me, obviously. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha no like hendrix is amazing steve ray vaughn god you know but it depends on the little wing they say that the best one steve ray vaughn's little wing is the accepted version is the best little way we didn't sing it if you would have sang it would have been different but the lyrics are beautiful for that song how do you do that song and not sing it she thinks mine is but you know what course she does it is sounds like a biased opinion
00:43:45
Speaker
I think so too, yeah. I don't know. But I'm a terrible judge of character luke who I hang out with. I'm not about that either, like at best or whatever. like i just I try to do it justice and make it sound you know like the thing that i loved about that song that made me spend two weeks just learning the stupid intro for that song.
00:44:04
Speaker
You know the thing I love about that song, like that's i just try and bring it across as best I can without looking like a jackass. i I got a question that I've always wondered. When you're making music, do you find yourself physically, intentionally thinking, oh that sounds too much like this, or that sounds too much like that the song?
00:44:24
Speaker
Do you strive to make your own individual, like you've got your sound? Not really. not like Not exactly like that. but ah i can't talk to myself. When I'm playing something, and like especially when I'm recording and writing and stuff and I'm listening to it, I just know like Where I feel like the song should be in the spectrum of genres, you know what would do it the most justice, and I try and keep it there.
00:44:51
Speaker
But it's hard to judge, so especially when you've been mixing forrick in eight hours or something. get lost in that stuff, and then like I have to come back a couple of days later, and and I listen to the fresh ears. Yeah, because you get that the ear fatigue thing with But no, I don't intentionally usually try and steer it towards anything in particular.
00:45:11
Speaker
Except for like on the 50th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's death, I wrote a song and I was trying to make that pretty Hendrix-y. Sure. building a tribute The only reason I ask is like um people ask me about the jokes.

Originality in Music and Comedy

00:45:22
Speaker
That's like all I care about is it's original. I don't want to be the next anybody else. I'm really the first me. Yeah, you don't want to have my voice. Exactly. I don't emulate anybody. and I was just wondering if like that would be hilarious so if you were doing much Chris Rock kind material.
00:45:35
Speaker
Yeah, it didn't work out for me. The voice doesn't quite go with but the look. Oh, I can do a voice.
00:45:46
Speaker
Can't cancel me. I'm a nobody. She thinks that's what my singing is. I've always been a mimic.
00:45:56
Speaker
But yeah, mimicking, i think I think a lot of singers will, and comics probably start out like that. Well, probably do. because you might I started late life and I knew what I wanted to do.
00:46:09
Speaker
So I didn't have to have to worry about that. When you were a kid, did you like mimic stuff a lot? Absolutely. The very first, not CD, the very first cassette tape I ever bought, Eddie Murphy Delirious. had to listen to music first. I've been a student all my life.
00:46:23
Speaker
but That was great. Originality is everything. You can't be, because of Dennis Leary, that's why i have to go that way. I'll never have that represent reputation.
00:46:33
Speaker
I think that's one of the cool things, especially, and I, Phil, I don't know, when you do your live gigs, do you do a lot of covers or do you do your, try to do your own stuff or a little combination of both?

Live Performances: Balancing Covers with Originals

00:46:45
Speaker
Well, a lot of the live shows I do these days, I'm doing acoustic where I'll just bring my acoustic and a dobro and a piano sometimes. But, uh, I try and i throw in a couple of my originals if the crowd is into it.
00:46:59
Speaker
And they're like, you know, if I feel like have a connection with the crowd, like i'll like, oh, this is one of mine if you want to hear it. And, you know, I'll throw that but most times, like, crowds, little crowds don't, like, you know, care to hear much much original stuff. But don't know. do a lot of, you know, covers.
00:47:16
Speaker
I don't have a list. yeah When you do the covers, do you try to make them your own? Or do you try to sound like the artist or band or? Well, I mean... You trying to throw your own spin on it?
00:47:28
Speaker
ah I sound... I guess I try and sound kind of close to what the yeah the original song is, but like I'm always... But I'm not... Yeah, but like I'm always me, you know?
00:47:42
Speaker
Yeah, I got my own unique kind of flavor and and stuff that... like It took me a lot of years to find my own voice. like That was like... if You always heard about You gotta find your own voice. And I actually really did, which is a lot different than it was when I was younger. And It was, it was something I had to trade my falsetto. I couldn't, I can't sing BG's no more.
00:48:01
Speaker
Well, yeah, like I got a raspy voice, but, but yeah, like I really did kind of find my own voice. And so, yeah, I think it's kind of a balance.
00:48:14
Speaker
I think that's kind of the difference between an artist and just a of a musician. Yeah. Well, there's a lot of guys that just go there and they, they did just try and, get through the song. Like they learn, like they try and play the song and then and there's not any you like of themselves into it and they're not like feeling what they're doing. They're just, ah they're just a an analog DJ or something. Exactly.
00:48:41
Speaker
See, like a, what do you say? Like, i' like we didn't put a spin on yourself, like if you're playing a tune or whatever, it's somebody else's tune, but you like maybe twang it out or something. Like for instance, oh, shit shine box does an awesome fucking rendition of um the Gourds. I'm sorry, the Gourds do an awesome rendition of Gin and Juice.
00:49:01
Speaker
I've heard that. I love it. It's fucking blue jazz. I've had that on several mixing amazing stuff over years. It's just stuff like that. I mean, that's that's an artist. mean they They feel something in it. And that's, I think, artist's objective, sure.
00:49:14
Speaker
But you either create or you mimic. Yeah, a lot of people get caught up in one genre or whatever. or whatever People like to bind themselves up in things that they think is making them have integrity, but it just kind of limits them on they' you know the paintbrushes they can use. True.
00:49:35
Speaker
Like me, like I think good music is good music. If it's something I enjoy, and even if I don't think it's something that my crowd might particularly enjoy, I'll paint it in a way that I think they will. you know like when you're having a good time cows have a good time right exactly that energy exchange yeah you can only get that in a wide performance yeah I wish I wish more people understood that like like if they give back they get back tenfold because the more they show me that they're with me the more i give them ah the more I you know really like feel it and just get you know like I'll pull stuff out the bag that I've done in forever you know just get like that show in Mississippi with one of those shows it was like the crowd was just unbelievable and like they're yelling out stuff like Marilyn Manson crazy stuff and I'm just like oh what the hell you know I pulled it out of the bag somehow and you know those are the nicer like really
00:50:26
Speaker
refuel you for doing that stuff. In the moment you can't make it happen it just does. Yeah, that's the stuff like it and you're just sharing that moment with them and you're both enjoying it and like we have anybody else who wasn't there sorry sucks to be you. yeah Well that's how it know it feels in the moment it's like magic.
00:50:44
Speaker
You can't like reproduce that you can't like it's not something you just you can't manufacture it. I know we're going that's really neat man.
00:50:55
Speaker
I wish I could play music. yeah For real life. That's to me. It's is' what so impressive. yeah it the only thing it The only thing in my lifetime that has made me believe in magic or higher power is moments in the music.
00:51:10
Speaker
I was like when you're, there's stuff that this you can't explain happens and you know, there's nights where like I don't even feel like playing, I'm watching myself play. Transcendental.
00:51:21
Speaker
Yeah, I'm like watching like, what was that I just did? Like I'm just like trying to watch it. It's wild. and were like ne I just played with Tino Novara. I taught him when he was like 11 and then we ended up doing like acoustic shows for years and making an album

Magical Live Performance Moments

00:51:32
Speaker
together.
00:51:32
Speaker
This is the most talented songwriter musician I ever had. He lives in New York now. But so many nights of us doing shows together, like we we didn't have a list we went by or anything.
00:51:43
Speaker
But we would finish a song, wouldn't looking each other. Also, we started a different song at the exact same time and look at each other like, blah, blah, blah, blah. We'd pull out entire set of acoustic Sabbaths because we got a lot of Sabbaths.
00:51:56
Speaker
And like we couldn't have done that any other night, but that night it was just magic. It was just amazing. And you'll never forget that. Yeah. There's like there's so definitely a... a magic to music and a spirituality to it and lots of it. Music is life man.
00:52:11
Speaker
It's got its own life. Yeah and it it fuels life and everything else. Imagine movies convention movies and anything else without music. and writing you know Right. mean lying man.
00:52:21
Speaker
It would just be people watching.
00:52:28
Speaker
We lost our host. I think I took over and mad at me. That's really interesting though. Because again, I can't speak intelligently about music. I know what I like, I know why I like it, but I don't know how to play. I tried and i'm but I've got two left hands.
00:52:42
Speaker
I can't do anything with this thing other than throw a Frisbee with accuracy. It's a palsy hand. I never was a lefty ever. I have two left penises. It's weird. My son's left handed. How fucked up was that to with baseball coach?
00:52:53
Speaker
I could teach a left handed kid how throw when you're right handed. It was hard. Well, most of your people would tell them, throw with your right hand. They did that to kids for years. Like, the left hand acting like they were doing it wrong or something.
00:53:04
Speaker
Right with your right hand. Throw with your right hand. Because you've got to be like everybody else. Do you do lessons and stuff, or is it just something like you used to do playing with people and stuff kind of help you get a little bit? I used to do lessons and stuff, but, like, i haven't done it really yet.
00:53:18
Speaker
much for a long time I mean anybody that wants to learn will sit down with you and show you something yeah I'm if somebody actually a shit wants to do it and you know especially once they show a little talent at it you know I'll teach them I used to teach at stores and stuff like that get all these

Teaching Young Musicians and Overcoming Barriers

00:53:34
Speaker
kids in there their parents paying for lessons that they don't practice any stuff you show them they you can tell they don't give a crap they're there it's the parents one there Yeah, then you get those few ones that are like really have really have something special. and But then of a sudden, well, my parents can't afford lessons no more. It's like, man.
00:53:50
Speaker
like I even like reached out to this one family and like offered to teach this kid for free because he was so, he had, you know, I didn't want him quit. Right. but I never heard back or anything, so I don't know what happened guy. That's got to feel some kind of way when you see somebody just with all the skill in the world naturally and they don't want to capitalize on it. Well, this kid did, but like his parents just couldn't afford no more.
00:54:12
Speaker
You know, and it's like, because I told them like, well, if apparently I asked them, well, you want to, you know, this's everybody I taught, like, what do you want to do with this? Where do you want to go? What kind of, he like, because i I would teach them to get there.
00:54:23
Speaker
And I wasn't trying to keep a student for life. I was just trying to get them to learn on their own as fast as possible. yeah Mentoring. That's mentor, true mentorship. And, ah but this, you know, had these kids that, you know, this one kid, like, I remember I was working at Crossroads Music in Middlefield.
00:54:39
Speaker
And I was teaching him bass and he wanted play metal and stuff. So I like, well, you should probably get yourself a five string for what the kind of you want to do. And then he talked his parents and ah they did get him a five string, but then they said that he can't afford lessons.
00:54:54
Speaker
yeah And like, oh, he didn't show for lessons. I'm like, what's going on? And the the owner told him, I'm like, well, kind of their number. And I tried reaching out and I told him like, I will teach the kid for free. I just don't want him to quit.
00:55:05
Speaker
But because he got that five string, like I told him, then he couldn't afford the lessons. Hopefully you're still out there killing someone. That really just boggles my mind. like I know some people that are really, really funny and they couldn't care less about like trying to get on stages and trying to further their career at all.
00:55:23
Speaker
I mean, such raw talent just that dip factor too, just so likable and so fun and so lazy. It blows my mind.

Michael's Journey into Comedy

00:55:34
Speaker
like If you say you love it, then love it.
00:55:36
Speaker
Talk is cheap, man. It's like, you can say anything, but if you're not doing it, it's because you don't want it enough. It's one of the things do, well, I want this, I want to do that. No, you don't. Because you wanted to, you would be.
00:55:47
Speaker
Well, I can't do this, I can't again. You always find a reason not to do something. if you doubts and a million other reasons, but if you want something, work for it.
00:55:58
Speaker
And if it's not coming out for you, but you still love doing it, don't stop. That fulfillment, your own again spirit, man, you can't, there's no fucking replacing a happy spirit and soul.
00:56:12
Speaker
Well, most comedians don't have that. well but It usually comes from a place of trauma. but ah that It kind of was for me. i mean, I was ready to eat a bullet. but I was so stressed out, mortgage, all sorts of shit, divorce.
00:56:26
Speaker
I was dying. And I was throwing up blood three to four times every single week. This a true story. The first time I went on stage, I never threw blood again. Overnight. Now, if that's not a calling, I don't know what is.
00:56:39
Speaker
Comedy may have saved my life, but it definitely saved my sanity again. And it made me a better person. like just I love life. And I live every damn day until I die, man. I was the same way until Mark Sonny freaking got me eating baby penguins.
00:56:51
Speaker
yeah It's like chicken. It's gonna be more blubbery though. It's kinda cold though.
00:57:04
Speaker
um I've had a lot of people tell me like you should do stand up. But I always felt like I'd be stepping on toes or something. Why? like Look, art is art man.
00:57:17
Speaker
The only way you step on toes in the comedy game is if you, are okay, I run the all the comedy out of Underground Lounge. If you showed up there and tried to sneak me out of it to do your own show there and cut me out, that would be shitty.
00:57:29
Speaker
But hey, you ever want stage time? Let me know. I'll put you up. I'm sure you've, you had me laughing at everything. And that's just the first time we actually really talked. I only ever saw you out playing or out at a bar with other people. i don't want to be intruding.
00:57:43
Speaker
We got a lot in common. You're fucking easy to talk to, easy to like. You got a lot to say. isn People are you important in the world because nobody wants to spread the love. What you were talking about with like helping people out, helping them be there, learn that like ah that collaboration shit, that's building the community you want to be a part of.
00:58:01
Speaker
yeah Nobody does that in comedy but me as far as I'm concerned in this area. And that's why I get iced out a lot of things. Yeah, you don't see like, nobody talks about comedy in this area. Because it's a big kept secret.
00:58:13
Speaker
Or they don't take it seriously. Which is funny and ironic, but they don't take it seriously. But i do I always say that, I take my comedy very seriously. And I've never tried to fucking ruin anybody ever.
00:58:25
Speaker
yeah It's like not who I am. These people, like just they'll tell anybody who will listen, i'm the unfunniest son of a bitch you've ever heard of. Just because they don't want me to get in their area and do a show. They won't put me out. Dude, I'm named the name. Bill Squire from WMF. 14 or so fucking comedy specials.

Well, me and Bill Sparrow, man, we were in a three-way one time with this Amish girl. I didn't think it was funny at all. Yeah, I drove Amish for 13 years. It's funny you mention that. It's hard to be funny in that situation. So many people are like, hey, did you ever sleep with all those girls? I'm like, no.

Yeah, Evan, he was trying to get me to get into a frickin' Bluegrass, the Quarry band with him. He's like, oh if you had a frickin' upright bass, almost bought an upright bass just to do it.
01:00:47
Speaker
And then Bill's like, well, then I'm gonna go play the upright bass. I'm gonna buy an upright bass for you to play it. Oh, is that the Yeah, yeah.
01:00:58
Speaker
Yeah, I'm booked on both of those. Where is that? i Well, I'm playing at the wild that rock for the care at Ross's eatery. But I told them earlier today, like, I can't do it unless they put me up first or something, because I've got to play at that farm party Garrettsville, like, you know, six, I think, six o'clock.
01:01:16
Speaker
But that's been like the last several years. It's a great time, good people. And probably my biggest earner of the year, they paid me quite a bit. Is it a multi-bar situation over here? Huh? Is it a multi-bar situation over here?
01:01:28
Speaker
No, it's this farm. Oh, no shit. Yeah, it's this farm. like it's They call it the Marty Party. It's like this dude's Marty Snowed. It's his birthday. But like they they they have this big-ass farm out there. They're really cool people.
01:01:39

01:01:54
Speaker
And he's pretty controversial, I guess. I've seen a bunch of anti-him Facebook pages and stuff. But he's like, I didn't even know what was going on with him. But I was out smoking while was on break this morning.
01:02:04
Speaker
And there was blonde woman yeah out there, too. And we just said a couple words back and forth. And somebody's like, you shouldn't talk to her That's the sheriff's holy. I'm like, oh, well.
01:02:17
Speaker
I wasn't hitting on her, I don't know. Like, oh, I was telling you. And then like, I went back into play and I was talking to a couple people. And also in this big, you know, six, eight where he is like, maybe you can walk and be that's the sheriff.
01:02:29
Speaker
Okay. But we talked to him, he decided, I guess he liked me and he gave me this, like, you know, those, those things that the police were on there, like the black, like, you know, the patches. Yeah.
01:02:41
Speaker
He gave me this patch and said, fuck her, I'll find out. He's like, you ever get trouble? of it like you for but e school party everybody let'll give a reason not to like yeah I no real love of cop.
01:02:56
Speaker
I don't want him in my life. doggger know But at the same time, I never feel like I'm doing anything wrong. So what do I have to worry about? See, rules don't apply to me. I just can lose guidelines.
01:03:08
Speaker
Chronic misbehavior.
01:03:11
Speaker
Well, that's a lot of guys. It's like, I don't feel like I'm doing nothing wrong. it's like why does your wife's face look like oh god yikes well you had to tell her like four times.
01:03:25
Speaker
The silverware's gonna rust. 5.30 where's my dinner? a little off the rails here. um You said you started playing around eight years old?

Speaker
Yep. And just on your own you wanted to play or?

Phil's Early Musical Experiences

01:03:40
Speaker
Yeah. Just like some of a family thing? Well yeah just like I got a hold my dad's guitar and just started messing with it and kind of wound my way into that and then Dad got tired of me messing with his guitar. And the first guitar he bought me was this Sears thing from a Sears catalog that all these like push button things on it for like different effects. Oh neat. And this thing was a total piece of garbage and stuff. He had send it back but then he had to hit me and everyone.
01:04:09
Speaker
But like no, i so it came from that. And like a little keyboard, they got little Casio keyboard. Yeah, I remember those. And just all that. Bossa Nova. Yeah, Bossa Nova.
01:04:20
Speaker
And the lion's out. for And the dog barking. with them Sheriff Jullivan, that's there. He's coughing. Yeah, he could record your own thing on there. yeah It was fun. So yeah, just like I could never walk by an instrument without having put my hands on it. And it just slowly turned into something. Especially like it started out like my brother was playing bass with my dad and uncle.
01:04:43
Speaker
And then I would just sing with them you know a couple songs and play cowbell. More cowbell baby. Yeah. But then like, you know, I got good enough, I was playing guitar, then then I had to play bass and my brother played guitar.
01:04:57
Speaker
And at a certain age, like, 15, 16, you know, my I'd be playing bass with my brother and then I have all these songs I wrote. So like, instead like just trying to show him, he'd like, well, you just take the guitar off of it.
01:05:12
Speaker
And that kind of became a thing. And then like, there were a few instances where we both got play guitar in a band. But yeah, it was just like whoever, you know, we had a drummer, then yeah he played bass or I played bass or if we had a bass player, he played drums.
01:05:29
Speaker
Like now I play drums too and everything. that well I can't even imagine multidisciplinary like that. it's like Again, I just can't wrap my mind around doing It's palsy and I just cannot play an instrument. I tried a couple of times.
01:05:41
Speaker
definitely can't do drums too slow on this hand. It's just so much goes into it. just i mean To me, it's like magic. It's miraculous that you can do that. That's such an awesome... Well, i think I was blessed with a natural gift for it. A lot of people think I just was handed it or something like that. So it's kind of a... yeah Because i I put a lot of time in with you know playing these

Natural Talent vs. Hard Work in Music

01:06:03
Speaker
things. and and But like also, like I do have a natural ear for it and a feel for it.
01:06:10
Speaker
So i play ri I don't even know how many instruments I play at this point. People keep asking me that and I know what to tell them. Who's made to play harp? I just recorded some harp on a song, what, three, four days ago?
01:06:24
Speaker
This song, I kind had this idea for this song called Heavens to Betsy and to Hell with You. thought was on the toilet. I was like that's a cool line, man. i don't know where it came from, but it was just like, yeah, it'd be good song. Amazing, it would be a blues song.
01:06:36
Speaker
And it's mostly like, you playing blues piano and harmonica. but But if if you have a choice you like, you can only play one instrument for the rest of your days. Which one you choose?
01:06:47
Speaker
Probably harmonica, so don't have carry anything. man's a laly cleverfu i you I can relate. I can put the guitar down. honestly I think that's the one I could never. If I could never play guitar again, I would probably go join a convent. Become nun.
01:07:05
Speaker
Go for it. Pickle.
01:07:09
Speaker
I got it, buddy. Joining the convent, becoming a nun, I think you have to you have to shave your beard. Oh, really? You just got to shave the tail. I thought they were going to deal with the habit. You lot of habits.

The biggest lies I tell her about my jails. You ever hear about the He caught one this big. I'm sorry. I love stupid jokes. You ever heard about the one about the guy walks into a bar with a giraffe?
01:23:46
Speaker
He tells the bartender, my friend here says he wants a pitcher of beer. And the bartender says, you're lying. He says, no, it's a giraffe.
01:23:55
Speaker
Boo! Like, how do I say stick with the music without saying stick to the music? um Stay your league.
01:24:08
Speaker
this ah Earlier in the conversation, you you said that you would like to do music festivals. Have you gotten the opportunity to get on any music festivals, or is that more of a ah bucket list thing that you want to do?
01:24:18
Speaker
No, I'd like to do it. like but when i was like The first gig I ever did was in front of a couple thousand people at the Quarry. You know, and it was like kind of ah give me a kind of false expectation for how things were going to go because there was bands that played all frickin day and people would just shit on him like this would be awful. I was so nervous.
01:24:37
Speaker
And my luckily my bass player had a big box of weed. Drugs.
01:24:43
Speaker
drugs But yeah, I get up there and i'm like and like ah we were doing a sound check when we got up there. My brother was on drums that day. And he kicked that bass drum we doing sound tests. And we just hear it go across the chorus. And I was like, ha, ha, ha. Or something. This is going to be cool. And by the end of the show, man, it was just people as far as you can see. And lighters. I remember doing Comfortably Dumb. And all the lighters. And I was like, oh, my rock star. Yeah.
01:25:11
Speaker
People getting off stage. It was crazy. stuff but yeah like i did a lot of that when I was younger than but no like then I had kids and like I kind of put it down for a while to raise my daughters and what I'd like to get back to do is a bigger stuff you know like that like I you know but i've I've never been good at like booking promoting any that stuff I just kind of like somebody will text me a bar owner like hey can you play this date okay but now I have lovely and talented Miss Stephanie over here helping me im like go out there and actually book things so I'm looking to get up and expand my horizons
01:25:45
Speaker
I mean, I've played all over the country and stuff, but that was more on a smaller scale. I'd rather have something more organized to get to do like my original stuff for people that want to hear it.
01:25:58
Speaker
Yeah. With someone pushing buttons and turning the knobs and stuff, it would be great. It seems to be where the...
01:26:10
Speaker
where the where it's at is like the music festivals. We can get on with one or two of them and whatnot right now. i Myself personally as a music fan, there nothing better than going to spend in a weekend somewhere and just hearing everybody and anybody and spending all day, every day bouncing from stage to stage.
01:26:29
Speaker
I and know you were saying earlier about the social media and stuff like that. Now having Steph over there in your corner. all Are you doing more on social media now with her?
01:26:41
Speaker
assistance and whatnot. I know it's an and it's a necessary evil, unfortunately, in the entertainment world, because if I could find somebody's significant other or maybe my significant other to take over our social media, that would be fantastic. And I'm not talking to you, Phil. I'm talking to the other people on this network that have significant others.
01:27:05
Speaker
We're really the only two on the network with significant others. Well, no, Wally has a wife, but Well, we're starting to get more stuff out there, like, uh, my, my recording studio, electric pickle studio and, far out in pH, you far out ink is like my production company because like I make music videos. I do a lot of other stuff, you know, and, and John Palo is going to be our videographer for stuff. If people are looking to have videos made and stuff, he'll do the, you know, he's really good at, at, uh, that part of it. And, uh, I'll probably end up doing a lot of the editing and all that, but, uh,
01:27:41
Speaker
But it depends on what people want. like I just want i want people to get their art out there in the way that they want it out there. And like so like I'm not going to charge a lot of money, like even the recording studio. I'm not going to charge what most recording studios charge.
01:27:53
Speaker
I just want to um want people to be able to put their music out there the way they want to. And it's hard nowadays to do that. You have to save up forever to get studio time because you can't make money off recording. So it's like, well, I want people to have of you know their music recorded if they want it to be recorded.

Community Impact of Music

01:28:11
Speaker
yeah know I want to do what I can to help them get it out there. like i figure I came with this theory years ago when it comes to everything, not just the music scene, but ah if everybody would just grab an end, it would be a lot easier for all of us. like It's easy to be kind. If you can help somebody, you should. Instead of being competitive, maybe we all lift each other up.
01:28:34
Speaker
instead of being competitive maybe we just you know we all lift each other up when the water rises we all you know yeah there's there's there's plenty of opportunities for everybody you know no matter where you're at whether you're doing stand-up like michael does or music like you do or even been podcasting you know where we're at over here like there's there's plenty to go around for everybody i don't understand where the the need to have like i'm going to compete with you or i'm going to try to bury you to to get to get ahead a little bit farther like
01:29:08
Speaker
just elevate the entire community at the end of the day and bring everybody up with you. Here's what I've seen happen too, though. People get a reputation for doing that shit, and they wash themselves out Nobody wants to work on them after they find out that kind of shit.
01:29:25
Speaker
They take care of themselves. The trash takes itself out. so but It just sucks that they put that grind in the gear. Yeah, it does. because it it and Especially like a lot of guys just coming up They end up quitting or something because they don't see a way up, you know, or you know And and you know like maybe they should stick it out and maybe should carry more but at the same time I figure like why you know Why hold somebody else down?
01:29:51
Speaker
Just to like ah make yourself a couple of bucks or something if you're in it for the money to then I think you're in it for the wrong reasons No, what you're doing that's unrealistic exactly right, but I think that's why you told it let me just replace do it like it's on you don't see as a business seems a community yeah and that is our kids like right the right here anyway for me like the really crystallized for me is when I was like around 18 to my mid 20s you know I was in that a place where you know like your breakups and you're very emotional and you you're experiencing a lot of stuff for the first time well like I had a lot of those nights where I'd be driving around back roads listening to music
01:30:34
Speaker
helping me deal with stuff or making me feel stuff or whatever it was and that stuff like really where you can feel it in your bones, you know. And i I always wanted to contribute just whatever contribute to add to that massive amount of music and stuff that's out there, you know, and just, you know, in case somebody else might feel it. And and that's happened on of occasions where I've had people reach out to me and tell me that my music has made them, helped them get through some stuff or whatever. And that's the fuel for me, you know.
01:31:06
Speaker
It helps me get better the nights where I'm always listening and stuff, yeah. Right. Way better. i that's that's That's my go-to, man. when when When shit really starts to get heavy and starts weighing on me, give me a backcountry road and let me put my windows down and and and crank my music and, you know, 100 miles an hour on a backcountry road with the music blare. It's a great way to sort your thoughts out and get you gets your mind right. Yeah, man.
01:31:33
Speaker
And that's like, that was with me, it's like a lot of those nights, you know, it's and it's resonated big time with me. and And then like the first time I got a story back from somebody about how something I didn't touch them, it was like, what?
01:31:47
Speaker
You know, stories from guys that were over in Iraq fighting and stuff. And like, ah the first my first album had a couple songs about that war on it. And ah well, this guy came back and told me that like,
01:32:01
Speaker
It helped me get through the first couple months over there. it was like And like, what more can you do? Like, I mean, like to make you feel gratified about what you're doing there. Like, like money is money, but like, that's like, I mean, just knowing that you you, the people you wrote this song file, this war and stuff, they're there listening to it and it helped them in some, any little way.
01:32:21
Speaker
you know like that just blew my mind and like that was enough fuel to keep me going for another five years I think that's like the total real for reaffirmation of why you do even my doctor i had this doctor when I was young he was an asshole man like he didn't care like I've told like i have legitimate health problems i have like you know I have this thing called POTS where I pass out all the time and I've had tons of concussions but I'm like I've had a pretty serious health problem like a Chiari malformation on whatever this doctor just looked at me and assumed I was some dumb hippie I was like Whatever, looking for drugs or something, which is the last thing I did in one pain med something else.
01:32:56
Speaker
But anyway, he he was like, just blew me off. And then ah about a year later, i was dating a girl who was a nurse and she was working in a nursing home with him. And she gave him a copy of my first album.
01:33:08
Speaker
And he tracked my parents down and all that stuff. and like Wanted to talk to me and had to have a sit down with me and tell me how much that album changed the way he treated people and Everything else because like he was just he said he was wrong about the way he thought about me and he felt like an asshole about it it takes away he Treated his patients there like that in my mind, too you know like stories like that's the best compliment man I mean dude you control demands like for the better?
01:33:38
Speaker
How these doctoring one of those?
01:33:41
Speaker
looks there He's torn a fish now. Yeah, now he's torn a fish. I'm not going to say his name.
01:33:52
Speaker
Dr. Bowers. Do you have other than fulfillment? Do you have endgame? Is there something you'd like to see yourself? like What's your definition of success?
01:34:04
Speaker
yes
01:34:07
Speaker
not having to stress every day about

Wealth Beyond Money: Peace and Happiness

01:34:11
Speaker
just paying to go. I don't want to be rich. I see what money does to people. So like that is not it. But ah yeah, just kind of worry about something. Be able to travel and be able to keep making music without being stressed every day.
01:34:23
Speaker
And my kids here, not have to worry about anything.
01:34:29
Speaker
Fuck yeah. I'm going to be rich and famous. Not me. it's a planet dude it's on a fucking card or whatever but i'm telling you real wealth is not measured in money yeah it's just better than your life experiences i want no one all the money peace is the most undervalued commodity on this planet where he's got how hard is it to find peace like little peace of mind like five minutes like not when's the last time you weren't stressed about nothing oh i'm pretty much stressed now really i mean well i got some stuff going on healthwise in this house, but other than that, I mean, I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing and I live every day. I don't struggle every day.
01:35:09
Speaker
I've never been more broke, but I've never been more happy. There you go. And I'm telling right now, that's wealth. not Again, that throwing up blood all the time was miserable life. I wanted to kill myself. And then I went up on stage for the first time and ended the microphone on my first time out loud in the microphone. said, God damn lot of hard on And I um was hooked.
01:35:29
Speaker
That's what she said. Well, I guess, yeah, like, i guess yeah like A lot of people don't get that. They think they need to accumulate things and pile things up or whatever. that's That's the yard marker for how they're going to live. Those people have never known psychedelics have seen behind the veil and really understood what life is.
01:35:51
Speaker
Well, for me, was losing my mom, man, and watching her diet way sooner than she should have, man. She's the best person i ever had, but watching her like regret never doing the things that she wanted to do.
01:36:02
Speaker
and like you hear your whole life that life is short it's one of those cliches you hear but like that's when it really hit me and i felt it and i it's stuck with me ever since then it's really like i have no time for stuff that doesn't matter you know mean like i just don't like drama and like i'm not gonna be miserable to get to an end of just some you know don't know hate i hate things that most people get caught up in that you know ah Life is not what life is supposed to be for a lot of people.
01:36:34
Speaker
They're playing other people's games because that's what society says to play. I'm done playing by society's rules. I'm living my life my way. And I'm putting the people I want in my life in my life. And that's it. I mean, yeah, so I want, I do no harm, you know, give the other guy hand up every chance you get and all that stuff, you know, and just live life, man. Try and be happy and be surrounded by people that you care about and do what you like. And, you know,
01:37:00
Speaker
and and you know don't leave a mess for the next guy that's right leave a little bit better than they found leave only flip cards and take only pictures that's in that yeah one of my new songs
01:37:15
Speaker
and then some of us like watch the world burn didn't see that one coming one um that's pretty important one
01:37:32

Speaker
That's a good PSA, Blake. Some of us like to watch the world burn, and I'm some of us. yeah We know you're a grenade tosser. I got you the other day, though.
01:37:49

01:38:21
Speaker
This guy, it took me a while to catch on to what he'd do, man. Every time I'd invite him over, I'd be having people, we'd be having fire sitting around drinking, picking, whatever. But he would like suddenly get people pissed off at each other.
01:38:38
Speaker

That was how he got his... that's how he got his you know enjoyment was like stirring up like mixing so like he would like and he would sit there and grin like you get people pissed off each other to like a couple times he actually got people fist fighting in my backyard i'm like dude you gotta go home and stop doing it that's crazy you those guys but yeah thatny that's crazy I'm all about having a good time, but I'm not going to purposely sabotage an entire, like, you know, we, we get a little crazy a little rambunctious on Saturday night.
01:39:13
Speaker
And sometimes, you know, we fuck with each other relentlessly, but it's all out of love and it's all jokes. You know, at the end of the day, it's just, it's just fuck with each other. Oh, there's a big portion. I like to say that like, I i would have got it. would have thought it was funny to to make a couple of random drunk guys fight each other, but, but,
01:39:31
Speaker
except for Except for Michael. I really don't like that guy. I can't say. Because I show you up. cool

Pursuing Dreams Authentically

01:40:00
Speaker
get one life. You might as well do what you do what you want to do and don't let anything hold you back. Don't let fear stop you back from stop you from living living the life that you want. i see so many people I care about. like To me, it feels like they're wasting their time here. They're not happy. They're like, one of these days, I'm going to do this. I've seen so many people pass away and one of these days never happens. just bums me out. I've been told
01:40:28
Speaker
um i'm a bit of an asshole because i know sometimes tough love really hits the spot and when you listen to somebody talk about i want to do this i want to do that i want i wish i could do this i'll put that up stop talking about it fucking be about it do it what's stopping you like legit like what's stopping you man just do it well you're not that's not very good advice click it's the truth man what's stopping you yeah What? I'd try and find a way to be happy no matter what I was doing. If I couldn't go and play shows, which might be a day I can't do that, my health and what whatnot, but I'd be painting pictures or, you know, whatever.
01:41:04
Speaker
Yeah, just find a way to do something that brings you little peace in the world little happiness and, you know, spend time with people you care about. oh it's And, it ain't rocket surgery.
01:41:15
Speaker
yeah Where do people find your heart? Yeah. Yeah, I was going to ask you because um Michael said you're an artist and I got to see a little bit of your art. um wherere living Where do you... Where have inspiration your art?
01:41:34
Speaker
a there's It's on my Facebook page. there's If you look at my pictures, there's an album that's just all my paintings. And I'm in the process of building, well, John Apollo was supposed to be building a ah store for that, like ah with all my art. He took high-def pictures all my paintings and stuff.
01:41:52
Speaker
ah But yeah, like if you look at all my Facebook pages, now when look at all my paintings, and up there's quite a few of them still have that are still for sale. um'm I'm doing some more Hendrix ones now because a bunch of people will keep reaching out to me wanting handle paintings.
01:42:07
Speaker
wow But like this is the thing that I just started doing, don't know, within the last five years, like I never thought I you know had any talent of that. I never yeah did much with it. like I drew and stuff, but it's something I started doing to spend time with my daughter because she had talent with art. So I i saw some canvases and some paints, so I bought that. and you know And then I fell love with it immediately. And then people started giving me money for him And I'm like, what?
01:42:35
Speaker
It was like therapy that you know people pay you for or something. So I sold quite a few for a while. like try slightly I can get money off of these things. Yeah, I was like, what?
01:42:46
Speaker
i but yeah I knew not to put any eggs in that basket, but they asked me to add some exhibitions and stuff like that. but yeah i like I love it all. i uses Art is art as far as I'm concerned. Yeah.
01:43:02
Speaker
100% and you know and in what one guy or one person might say is garbage and another person is gonna like this is fucking amazing you know our art is to be interpreted individually that's how felt when people buy paintings I'm like that's like this new garbage they liked it
01:43:22
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't say. I mean, if they were buying my shit, I'd be like, yeah, this i'm I'm the next goddamn Picasso. Go ahead, buy all my shit. I'll be famous one day. Yeah, yeah i I wish I could get that for everyone.
01:43:35
Speaker
Yeah. ah little A little bit of ego goes a long way, my friend. Just just a little you know a little flash here and there. Don't be like Michael.
01:43:46
Speaker
you know You gotta be more like me. I just got a splash of ego. And it's enough to, you know, keep me Keep me above the wrist. Keep me elevated. Somewhere between Donald Trump.
01:44:00
Speaker
Somewhere between there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think a certain level of of ego or overconfidence when you do something, whether be in the music world or as mike Michael is a comedian, if you're in that entertainment world that You don't got to go full on egomaniac, but, you know, having that little bit of just, just enough to go.
01:44:23
Speaker
Yeah. I'm that fucking good. You know? Yeah. have hard time with that, man. Like, don't know. Like I said, well, I just had trouble with my self-confidence and all that.
01:44:34
Speaker
A lot of people have thought I had an ego because of that. humor mechanism I do people are like, oh, you're really good, and I'd be like, oh, I know. But like it was just a sarcastic thing. like I don't know what to say. that i don't know how to handle compliments.
01:44:46
Speaker
So i would say stuff like that. I had to learn to not do that. But like I really, yeah I mean, I know on a level that I've got some talent, and I've put in the work. I've been there and stuff. but But know like it as far as the ego thing goes, there um um um I know a million guys better than me, and But don't think it's about that either. yeah I think it's just, I know I got something to offer and if people want to listen to it, that'd great. And I like collaborating and I like, I just love it all. I like creating something from nothing. Yeah.
01:45:21
Speaker
yeah It's the closest we'll ever get to God is any kind of art, I think. as As the great Kid Rock once said, it's not cocky if you back that shit up. That's true.
01:45:33
Speaker
I genuinely, generally back that shit up.
01:45:41
Speaker
as actually you know as ah As a policy. like and On the dance floor, ladies and gentlemen, if you catch Phil on the dance floor, he will be backing that ass up. That is right, man. i will get I will get down. i will get funky. I will get, know. Then I'll get embarrassed and go outside.
01:46:03
Speaker
but that that That brings me, I want to ask, what is your stage presence like? Are you you, know, what kind of of ah of a front man or a singer are you when you're up on stage?
01:46:17
Speaker
Well, I'm definitely into it. And ah well really a lot of it depends on the crowd. If the crowd is being, yeah. bu i I've had a few audiences that, je like from the beginning, they like they're trying to ignore you. They got better things to do or something.
01:46:32
Speaker
Like that kind of stuff. makes me a little hostile sometimes. yeah So I'll start singing some of my dirtier songs, but but ah no, like like i just I just want to connect with the crowd because if they get me something like give like give me like they're into it, they give me something, I give it back tenfold.
01:46:54
Speaker
I'll make you laugh, I'll make you cry, I'll make you you know fall in love with your wife. yeah
01:47:01
Speaker
but i um like I really like it. yeah I have an experience with Iron Horse one night. This lady asked me to play Simple Man.
01:47:13
Speaker
and like I kind of quit playing after a while because played it since like i was a kid with my dad and stuff. I got a little burned out on it, but it's a great song. but But she asked me to be for her brother that had passed away in the 70s.
01:47:27
Speaker
and ah So I did it. But then i at the end of the song, i realized this lady, like, was like, they had to like, get somebody to take her home and stuff. She was like falling. and I'm like, well what happened? like what i Like, I felt like I did something wrong, you know?
01:47:42
Speaker
But like, oh you did it good. And like, i don't know how I feel about that sort of thing, yeah.
01:47:49
Speaker
um I'm not in the business to make people, you know, cry and have to get a ride home. But, that's, know, that's part of what it would do is make people feel something. But, don't know. But, I generally try and keep it upbeat and, you know, make people laugh and,
01:48:04
Speaker
ah have a good time. That's, yeah. It's obvious. You're a genuine person. come What you see is what you get. Yeah, there's nothing phony about me for sure. Some people will take um a fake bottle of whiskey on stage or something and, you know, put on, which them I guess like theatrics and stuff is part of it too. yeah Alice Cooper and all these people do

Stage Presence and Audience Interaction

01:48:25
Speaker
that sort of thing. I'm like more, you know, just, don't know. I guess I don't have that that gear. i just come at you from where I'm at and Don't tell them show them.
01:48:38
Speaker
Yeah. I just listen to this and then I might run my mouth a little bit if I'm in goofy mood. and But like I don't to i't tend to talk a whole lot. Yeah, I've noticed.
01:48:50
Speaker
Have I told you fuck you yet? we didn't We didn't come to hear you talk about your life. Shut up and sing the songs, monkey.
01:49:07
Speaker
i think I think that's a big part of seeing live music is you know if there's if the if the if the if the artists are into it and they're having a good time, whether you know they're some artists, that's their thing. They run around the stage like a lunatic.
01:49:19
Speaker
Other guys are able to captivate room just by what they do. last time Well, the first time I played with whiskey throttle was it long boys and that that night I was running around the stage a little bit jumping around and I was into it. You know, it's just all about what I'm feeling. I get, you know, especially it has to do with crowd. Like if the crowds into it and they're, you know, like it's a symbiotic relationship, you know, like if you're you know, like if they're connecting with you, you're connecting with them. And like, and the more, the more you only had to give me a little bit and I'm giving you back so much, you know, like just, oh, because like, it's all coming back to my shitty self-esteem. Like all I need is a little reinforcement that you're digging what I'm doing and I will, you know.
01:50:04
Speaker
I'll entertain you. It makes it so much easier when it doesn't feel like it's working on it sometimes. Yeah. It's just hidden this this table that table that table but not the other ones. And you know, work and you know and be one which guys don't move you make eye contact with the ones that you know who's actually paying attention and there's all again.
01:50:22
Speaker
It's a thing. and It is. Yeah, it's it's hard to like well those nights where you feel like you're just trying to get past your time. you know, and get out of there or something. And I hate those nights. I feel like a prostitute.
01:50:34
Speaker
Yeah, but again, that's the night that kind of feels like work. Yeah, I feel like work, and it's like, yeah, that's the night. Which I guess, if you're getting maybe it should feel like work. If you're building a bridge or, you know. You feel like stealing.
01:50:45
Speaker
I don't feel bad about it at all. but It's like, I don't feel any time I'm in a comedy unless it's like a really, it's particularly bad show. For instance, like on a Veterans Day, I'm screaming at a fucking veteran. I've had some wild nightmare situations with heckling sort of shit.
01:51:02
Speaker
That energy, it just fulfills you. I mean, on a cosmic level. Yeah, well and you need of one of those good ones to refill you to keep to the next one. Some of the low ones will just drain the hell out of you. But they make you appreciate those good ones. Yeah.
01:51:17
Speaker
And again, you never know what you're going to walk into unless there's, like i said, if there's a cover charge, you've got a lot better chance, a better fighting chance for them to pay attention and be into it. They have invested money. They want to get their money out of Mm-hmm. But they don't pay anything.
01:51:30
Speaker
kind of the mindset is, it's free comedy. How good can they be? Fuck them. It's free music. How good can they be? Oh, fuck them. Yeah. I went to a comedy show a few years back. I was in Dallas.
01:51:44
Speaker
I went visited Dimebag's Grave and stuff. And I went to Dallas and wanted this bar that he drank at. And in the back, they had ah the different stage in the back where they had comedians and stuff. And I There was a couple of guys that were pretty funny, but like the crowd, like I just, I was looking at the crowd mostly like, and it was one of those things like, you know, a lot of people with music too, like they look at like, well, if I've never heard of this guy, they must be shit. You know what mean? they And they, and they go into that, with that attitude.

Right Attitude in Entertainment

01:52:11
Speaker
But here's the thing, i how I defeat that. They don't know me when I go up there, but when I'm done, they fucking know me. Funniest motherfucker you've never heard of
01:52:21
Speaker
I guess I need to adopt more of that mindset. Like, yeah, they'll remember me, whether I have my pants on or not
01:52:30
Speaker
not. Extra medium. that's great I think you have the exact right attitude to be in the business of show.
01:52:40
Speaker
It's not about the money. It's just about, it's it's an experience and it's a lifestyle. it's like, The payment is not just in greenbacks, it's in like spirituality and fucking well of being and all sorts of different things that are intangible.
01:52:56
Speaker
You're sharing your art with people that are you know open to it in or even not open to it, but you get through their shell, that's the best part. Like when somebody came with a shitty attitude you change their mind, that's nice too.
01:53:09
Speaker
That's great, man. Enhancing the joy of others, not diminishing it. Sometimes you have a bad night though. Motherfucker. Some nights they enjoy the comedy, some nights they enjoy the music.
01:53:22
Speaker
You never know what you're going get. But again, I found that the only way really around that to increase your chance of theft so success is to have a small ticket price. My best, my most expensive show ever was something, 45 a ticket.
01:53:36
Speaker
But I came to the dinner, it was New Year's Eve, like toast and all that shit. We had the whole nine. And... We don't get rich, but everybody has a great time. Everyone wins. The bar owner makes money. The comedians make money. The audience is happy.
01:53:49
Speaker
Everybody grabs them. You come back again. Exactly. Yeah, everybody grabs their end. Everybody has a good time. Equitable distribution of funds and shit. You go do some other producer show, you get $20.
01:54:01
Speaker
