26:01 Speaker 13: tracks and we opened the show uh with a new

26:04 Speaker 13: song too. But that is the newest right, that is

26:06 Speaker 13: halfway there from Cosmic Blossom, and of course, uh Gary

26:11 Speaker 13: is here, Gary Smith, who is in Uh Gary? How

26:13 Speaker 13: many bands are you now? Can you even put a

26:16 Speaker 13: number on it?

26:16 Speaker 22: Yeah, I mean I'm probably in like six or seven projects.

26:19 Speaker 13: Oh is that all?

26:19 Speaker 9: Yeah?

26:22 Speaker 22: Probably more.

26:22 Speaker 9: You do a lot.

26:23 Speaker 13: You do a lot of stuff, but I always say

26:25 Speaker 13: you're one of the You're one of the most talented

26:27 Speaker 13: and busiest musicians I know in the area. So we

26:32 Speaker 13: also have so we'll we'll go around here. So we

26:35 Speaker 13: have Ryan here on drums and sounding great than your

26:39 Speaker 13: first time on the show. So appreciate having you here.

26:42 Speaker 13: And uh and Meg of course I love the vocal

26:45 Speaker 13: on that last song that that y'all played. That was

26:48 Speaker 13: really cool. And you're in Dog a Dog as well.

26:50 Speaker 17: Yeah, we'll be on at eleven.

26:51 Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, so that's that's gonna be awesome.

26:53 Speaker 15: Yeah.

26:53 Speaker 13: When you walked in, I was like, oh wait, she's

26:55 Speaker 13: on the other band, and uh, let's see and we

26:59 Speaker 13: have Nick welcome.

27:00 Speaker 29: What's up guys?

27:01 Speaker 13: And uh you Now let me ask you this, So

27:05 Speaker 13: are the four of you like because we in fact

27:08 Speaker 13: I asked before the show, do I introduce you as

27:10 Speaker 13: Cosmic Blossom or Cosmic Blossom collective because it seems like

27:13 Speaker 13: there's like is there a core band and then sort

27:16 Speaker 13: of ancillary people who are the collective? Or how does how?

27:20 Speaker 13: How is this all working?

27:22 Speaker 22: Sure?

27:22 Speaker 29: So there's there's like I would say, probably like eight

27:25 Speaker 29: of us that are like the core group members. Okay,

27:27 Speaker 29: you know we kind of split that up into like

27:29 Speaker 29: two little subgroups that like write songs like on their own,

27:32 Speaker 29: and then we kind of bring it to the larger group.

27:34 Speaker 29: Oh and then we have other musicians that are in

27:36 Speaker 29: the scene that kind of join on, you know, like

27:37 Speaker 29: horn players and stuff like that. Whenever we have like

27:39 Speaker 29: bigger gigs. Yeah, for the most part, we kind of

27:41 Speaker 29: stick to the core group of like eight of us.

27:44 Speaker 13: Yeah, gotcha, gotcha? Wow. So so that that core configuration

27:49 Speaker 13: of eight, So what do you have covered in terms

27:51 Speaker 13: of instruments or is it a lot of singers or

27:55 Speaker 13: how does how does? Like I guess what I'm really

27:57 Speaker 13: asking is who are the other four of the eight?

27:59 Speaker 29: Sure? Absolutely, I would say the other four. While we

28:01 Speaker 29: have brad to Palm on guitar, you couldn't be here today,

28:03 Speaker 29: but he's the guy that I started this with lead guitar.

28:06 Speaker 29: We have Jimmy on keys, he's fantastic, Chuck on bass,

28:09 Speaker 29: we love Chuck and Anthony on drums, he's the other

28:13 Speaker 29: drummer that we have, I'd say that. And then we

28:14 Speaker 29: have singers on top of that too. You know Amanda

28:17 Speaker 29: Van Tyne, Sarah Bird, she's also in Dog Eate Dogs.

28:19 Speaker 29: She'll be here a little bit later, okay, And you know,

28:21 Speaker 29: just too many people to name off off the rip

28:23 Speaker 29: out the rest of that.

28:24 Speaker 13: Yeah, is it? Is it challenging to manage all that

28:27 Speaker 13: in terms of playing live shows and figuring out who's

28:31 Speaker 13: available for what or or maybe it's maybe it makes

28:33 Speaker 13: it easier in some ways because you can kind of

28:36 Speaker 13: change up the configuration of the songs on the fly

28:38 Speaker 13: depending on who's there. I mean, what is that like

28:42 Speaker 13: what is that dynamic?

28:43 Speaker 22: Like, well, that's one of it.

28:44 Speaker 30: And definitely with like like there's a where or you

28:46 Speaker 30: guys are playing on March twenty first, I already had

28:48 Speaker 30: a gig. But you know it's simple enough where we

28:51 Speaker 30: have like two drummers, two basses, and we're all cross trained,

28:53 Speaker 30: so we can kind of, yeah, if one of us

28:56 Speaker 30: can make it, we can still kind of make make

28:58 Speaker 30: the gigs work, yeah, which is nice. But again, we

29:01 Speaker 30: tend to play like bigger, bigger shows. We're not doing

29:04 Speaker 30: a lot of smaller stuff, so it's usually make it

29:06 Speaker 30: worth it, I would say.

29:07 Speaker 22: With other shows.

29:08 Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense.

29:09 Speaker 29: Yeah, with smaller gigs and stuff, we'll usually stick to

29:12 Speaker 29: like a smaller group of us, you know what I mean.

29:14 Speaker 29: Like if we're just playing like a club downtown like

29:16 Speaker 29: say Lowell or something like that, you know we'll have

29:18 Speaker 29: probably just like the eight of us covered that. If

29:20 Speaker 29: we're playing like a bigger festival over the summer, we'll

29:22 Speaker 29: probably have we'll break out all the stops for that,

29:24 Speaker 29: so we'll have all what fifteen of us on stage

29:27 Speaker 29: orthing like that, Yeah, at one time, and you know,

29:29 Speaker 29: people kind of jump in and out per song. It's

29:31 Speaker 29: not everybody's on the stage all at once. Everybody kind

29:33 Speaker 29: of just floats in and out as the songs kind

29:35 Speaker 29: of come okay. And yeah, like Gary said, having two

29:38 Speaker 29: of everything is really helpful. So if one person can't

29:40 Speaker 29: make it, someone can cover the entire base through one show.

29:42 Speaker 13: That it's like a Noah's Ark thing. You got two

29:44 Speaker 13: of Uh.

29:47 Speaker 29: I didn't look at it like that before. Yeah, no,

29:49 Speaker 29: it makes sense.

29:50 Speaker 13: So that's so that's smart to do it that way.

29:52 Speaker 13: That totally makes sense. I like it.

29:53 Speaker 17: I like it.

29:55 Speaker 13: What is so do you know what, like, what is

29:57 Speaker 13: the maximum number of people you've had on stage at

29:59 Speaker 13: once a Cosmic Blossom set?

30:02 Speaker 29: How did we have on for Wormtown?

30:03 Speaker 22: Yeah?

30:03 Speaker 13: That once?

30:04 Speaker 30: That was probably like with the horn players and stuff,

30:06 Speaker 30: that's probably like twelve or thirteen out wow, get yeah.

30:09 Speaker 29: Thirteen of us probably on it once.

30:11 Speaker 13: Yeah, And what's the minimum them?

30:12 Speaker 29: Like, what is the small The smallest we have was four, Yeah,

30:16 Speaker 29: and it's it's cool because we'll start with four, like

30:18 Speaker 29: for our last festival we played at Wormtown, we start

30:21 Speaker 29: with four, and then we add one person, and then

30:23 Speaker 29: we add another person and it's just like grows to

30:25 Speaker 29: like the end of the show, all thirteen of us

30:26 Speaker 29: are on stage all at once.

30:27 Speaker 13: So blossoms.

30:29 Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, this guy's good.

30:32 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's up to do your marketing. I get all

30:34 Speaker 13: the times. Yeah, I want to be part of this.

30:36 Speaker 22: Do you want to join us to do?

30:37 Speaker 13: You guys?

30:38 Speaker 22: Remember sixteen?

30:38 Speaker 15: Yeah?

30:39 Speaker 13: You know it's up?

30:40 Speaker 17: Yeah.

30:42 Speaker 13: Oh that's no, that's cool though. Now now when you so,

30:46 Speaker 13: how does that affect how you approach recording, because you've got,

30:50 Speaker 13: like we featured, uh, that great studio track we opened

30:52 Speaker 13: with and we just played halfway there. How do how

30:55 Speaker 13: does that get figured out? Who's going to?

30:57 Speaker 9: Uh?

30:57 Speaker 13: I mean, do you try to get all fifteen people

30:59 Speaker 13: on a try or probably not?

31:01 Speaker 30: I wouldn't think, but yeah, I mean we we again

31:03 Speaker 30: try and kind of get a scratch track, you know,

31:05 Speaker 30: we use the well recently started using Pete who I've

31:09 Speaker 30: used all for my procreston Maintenance and Fox and Flamingos.

31:11 Speaker 30: So like we kind of just lay the scratch track

31:13 Speaker 30: down with the four or five of us, and then

31:16 Speaker 30: the girls will come add the vocals after the fact

31:18 Speaker 30: and we try and get as many people on it.

31:20 Speaker 30: Obviously sometimes it doesn't always work out, but yeah, I mean, ultimately,

31:25 Speaker 30: you know, everyone, like I said, everyone can play everything,

31:27 Speaker 30: so that's half the battle. But yeah, recording wise, we

31:32 Speaker 30: it's pretty efficient. Like last song, we pretty much had

31:34 Speaker 30: it done in two days over the course of a week.

31:36 Speaker 30: We're recording again on March twenty eighth, recording our next

31:40 Speaker 30: song excellent.

31:41 Speaker 29: First one we played here take your Time.

31:42 Speaker 30: Yeah, take your Time, the one that we played solo

31:44 Speaker 30: the first one, the acoustic one, So that's going to

31:46 Speaker 30: be recorded, Uh, excellent, down to Pete so that yeah,

31:49 Speaker 30: and then we're working on a bunch of other stuff too.

31:52 Speaker 13: Is there a studio recording of the last one that

31:54 Speaker 13: you played that you sang on Meg not yet? No,

31:56 Speaker 13: I love that song? Oh, thank you, thank you.

31:59 Speaker 17: Yeah, we do.

32:00 Speaker 10: Me and Amanda Vantine do that one together usually.

32:04 Speaker 11: Kind of like a girl power song and stuff. But yeah,

32:07 Speaker 11: we're hoping on recording that soon too.

32:09 Speaker 13: Cool. Cool, Yeah, No, that's that's really good. So there

32:12 Speaker 13: Now is there an album or is there just singles

32:14 Speaker 13: for Cosmic Blossom up to now? I don't so.

32:17 Speaker 29: Right now, we just have I think what eight singles,

32:19 Speaker 29: and that was over the course of like, you know,

32:21 Speaker 29: this has progressed in a crazy way that we've had

32:24 Speaker 29: even other members that have you know, like come and gone,

32:27 Speaker 29: and so we over the course of the last you know,

32:29 Speaker 29: two or three years, we've probably put out about eight singles.

32:31 Speaker 29: We're gearing up now to get like a full length album,

32:35 Speaker 29: probably about like fourteen songs, oh on one big album

32:38 Speaker 29: and we hope to get that like pressed onto vinyl

32:40 Speaker 29: and stuff by the end of the summer. That's kind

32:42 Speaker 29: of nice. We're in the process of getting everything recorded

32:44 Speaker 29: and polished up now for that.

32:46 Speaker 13: Oh, very cool. Yeah, that'll that'll be good. It's cool

32:49 Speaker 13: that you're gonna do vinyl. A lot of people are

32:51 Speaker 13: doing vinyl now, that's awesome. Yeah.

32:52 Speaker 29: He just pressed vinyl for his Percussive Maintenance album.

32:55 Speaker 13: Oh you did? Yeah, okay, one of those too cool, outstanding. Well,

32:59 Speaker 13: I don't know if y'all know. And Gary, you've obviously

33:01 Speaker 13: been here before, but not I been here in a

33:03 Speaker 13: little while. We have a record player now.

33:06 Speaker 29: Yeah, absolutely, spind your vinyl on that.

33:08 Speaker 13: Yeah, right, Yeah. One of the guys, this belongs to

33:10 Speaker 13: Ryan Sherman, the cherminator. He does a show here, a

33:12 Speaker 13: music show. But but he brought this in, you know him. Yeah,

33:16 Speaker 13: he brought this in and he said anybody can use it,

33:18 Speaker 13: so we can. We can always plug it in and

33:21 Speaker 13: spend something on there.

33:22 Speaker 24: Sick.

33:22 Speaker 13: My theory about you know, people who buy vinyl at

33:26 Speaker 13: this point, you know, unless they're they're buying you know,

33:28 Speaker 13: used vinyl, you know, like classic rock stuff. But I

33:31 Speaker 13: think when people buy brand new vinyl, most of the

33:33 Speaker 13: time they probably never even open it, or if they

33:35 Speaker 13: do open it. They never play it because it's just

33:37 Speaker 13: something that's cool to have.

33:38 Speaker 22: It's a collective piece.

33:39 Speaker 29: Yeah, absolute, Yeah, it's not the only way that we

33:40 Speaker 29: listen to music to anymore, so that's more of a

33:42 Speaker 29: it's more of a novelty to have for sure.

33:44 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's cool to have it. You know, you can

33:46 Speaker 13: mount it on the wall, do whatever with it. But

33:48 Speaker 13: but yeah, but we do have the capability to play

33:50 Speaker 13: vinyl and we also have a we actually have a

33:53 Speaker 13: CD player here too. I don't even have a CD

33:54 Speaker 13: player at home anymore, but we do have a CD

33:57 Speaker 13: player here. I think I think Rob has a veto

33:59 Speaker 13: from Grantis of Mind is the only one who actually

34:01 Speaker 13: uses it. But we do have one here, so we

34:03 Speaker 13: have that capability as well. But it's nice to live

34:06 Speaker 13: in a digital age. But no, that's cool that you're

34:07 Speaker 13: in a do vinyl. That's awesome.

34:09 Speaker 29: Yeah, yeah, very nice to have for the summer. Absolutely.

34:11 Speaker 13: How long has Cosmic Blossom existed. It's been a number

34:14 Speaker 13: of years, right, but it sounds like it's changed a lot.

34:16 Speaker 13: It's morphed and grown.

34:17 Speaker 29: And absolutely yeah, I would say that me and Brad

34:19 Speaker 29: started this in twenty twenty when everything kind of shut down.

34:22 Speaker 29: We kind of just met up with our buddy Brian

34:24 Speaker 29: Lambers a lot. He's a core member of this took.

34:27 Speaker 29: He helps us a lot with our production and stuff.

34:29 Speaker 29: He's awesome. So we just met up with him and

34:32 Speaker 29: just like us three just started writing the original songs

34:34 Speaker 29: that we had for this. Later on we picked up

34:38 Speaker 29: drums and bass with Axel and Alfredo. Yeah, and then

34:41 Speaker 29: right after that we picked up Amanda Vantayne as like

34:43 Speaker 29: our lead singer, and then like just from there, once

34:46 Speaker 29: that happened, like people start started joining left and right,

34:48 Speaker 29: and okay, it just became what it became after that.

34:50 Speaker 13: Yeah.

34:50 Speaker 29: Yeah, it kind of grew naturally too. It's not like,

34:52 Speaker 29: you know, we really actually planned for that. We kind

34:54 Speaker 29: of planned on being a band at first, and then

34:56 Speaker 29: just so many people just ended up coming through that

34:57 Speaker 29: we're like, all right, let's see if we can make

34:59 Speaker 29: that like a trend. Yeah, it's been a lot, but

35:01 Speaker 29: it's been working for us. It's been really cool.

35:03 Speaker 13: Was there any was there any kind of resistance to

35:06 Speaker 13: that initially within the band, Like do we want to

35:08 Speaker 13: just let people sort of join or did you just

35:11 Speaker 13: did you just go with it instinctively? Like no, this

35:13 Speaker 13: is cool just if people want to become a.

35:14 Speaker 29: Part of it, honestly, and I'm so proud of this.

35:16 Speaker 29: Everybody who's joined this has been so like okay with

35:19 Speaker 29: making sure that everybody has their time in the spotlight.

35:21 Speaker 29: You know, we're really good about sharing it and making

35:24 Speaker 29: it as much of a collaboration as possible.

35:26 Speaker 13: That's really cool. Yeah, I admire that a lot. That's

35:29 Speaker 13: that's excellent. That's excellent. And then what do you have

35:32 Speaker 13: coming up? Do you have any shows this weekend that

35:34 Speaker 13: you're playing or what's what's kind of next for a

35:36 Speaker 13: cosmos Nicker.

35:37 Speaker 30: You're playing a Hennecker Brewery March twenty first, yeah, guy,

35:41 Speaker 30: and then we just when we were playing Warping weft

35:45 Speaker 30: Ye with Fox and excellent Low Yeah, on April tenth,

35:50 Speaker 30: and then Grange Creek.

35:53 Speaker 17: Yeah.

35:53 Speaker 29: I'd say our biggest show that we're excited for is

35:55 Speaker 29: we're playing the Capital Center for the Arts, the Bank

35:57 Speaker 29: in New Hampshire, Stage up Conquered and we're.

36:00 Speaker 13: You're doing that Kevin Haran, Kevin Hornan, Yeah, yeah, he's

36:05 Speaker 13: been on the show. Yeah, Yeah, that's great.

36:07 Speaker 30: We're playing in his band. So I brought I brought

36:09 Speaker 30: Cosmic well of course you are. But yeah, that's that

36:16 Speaker 30: should be as that would be a really.

36:18 Speaker 13: Is that throughout n H Music Collective?

36:20 Speaker 25: No?

36:21 Speaker 28: No, no?

36:23 Speaker 13: Oh cool, very nice, very nice. Yeah. How many, like

36:27 Speaker 13: how many songs does Cosmic Blossom have at this point?

36:30 Speaker 13: That because obviously, you know, you've got songs that everybody,

36:33 Speaker 13: like everybody who's a part of it knows, right, So

36:36 Speaker 13: does that you have a lot?

36:38 Speaker 29: Yeah, Oh my gosh.

36:39 Speaker 15: Yeah.

36:39 Speaker 29: So we probably have about like ten that we've like

36:42 Speaker 29: retired is what we call it, with ones we don't

36:44 Speaker 29: really play anymore. We have probably like eight right now

36:48 Speaker 29: that are in our like what we call our set,

36:50 Speaker 29: which we'll bring to anywhere, and then we're we've got

36:52 Speaker 29: probably about four more that we're writing, and then maybe

36:55 Speaker 29: even like two or three acoustic songs on top of that.

36:58 Speaker 22: So we have we have a lot.

36:59 Speaker 29: We've about twenty twenty or twenty five we've that we've

37:03 Speaker 29: got floating around.

37:04 Speaker 13: Oh that's great. Yeah, with that many? Is it hard

37:06 Speaker 13: to write a set list if you're in a situation where,

37:08 Speaker 13: like say, you've got an hour of time to fill,

37:10 Speaker 13: obviously you can't play all of those. So yeah, it

37:12 Speaker 13: was a difficult to decide with that much material.

37:14 Speaker 29: Honestly, the biggest part of it is like who's there,

37:16 Speaker 29: you know, all that makes there and who knows what song?

37:19 Speaker 29: And then you may kind of create a set list

37:20 Speaker 29: based upon who shows up. Okay, we've spent a lot

37:23 Speaker 29: of time making sure that everybody knows a little bit

37:25 Speaker 29: of everything, but still it kind of we kind of

37:27 Speaker 29: run into that sometimes, so we gear our sets on

37:29 Speaker 29: who's there and who's ready to show up that day.

37:31 Speaker 13: No, that makes sense. That makes sense. So now where

37:35 Speaker 13: where should people go online to keep up with everything

37:37 Speaker 13: that Cosmic Blossom is doing and the music that you

37:40 Speaker 13: have out and and I assume this is all on Spotify?
