Speaker 12: my uncle got me an electric electric guitar, so I
Speaker 12: was playing you know Metallica, Iron Maiden, you know all
Speaker 12: the Megadeath, you know Green Day. And then when I
Speaker 12: was freshman in high school, I had to do a
Speaker 12: guitar class, so I had to get an acoustic guitar
Speaker 12: because I didn't have enough for all the kids. So sure,
Speaker 12: I had to go buy one, got one, never looked back.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 12: So I've been playing since I was like seven, and
Speaker 12: I've been doing like full time gigging for about a
Speaker 12: little over ten years.

Speaker 12: I've always done solo acoustic.
Speaker 2: Ye.
Speaker 12: Over the years, now that I've you know, been doing
Speaker 12: it for a while, I've been trying to work more
Speaker 12: with like, you know, bands and like get up on
Speaker 12: stage with bands and as far as that goes. But
Speaker 12: I usually just do it solo.
Speaker 11: It's easier, right, I mean it's you know, you don't
Speaker 11: depend on anybody else for ye know, their availability and
Speaker 11: in terms of rehearsing and playing shows and.
Speaker 12: All that exactly exactly. It's it's a it's a little

Speaker 11: is is there anyone that you covered that you found
Speaker 11: challenging to do, like vocally.
Speaker 12: Or Steely Dan Amy Winehouse. Really yeah, Yeah, Vocally they're
Speaker 12: pretty challenging. I mean some of the new Benson Boone
Speaker 12: songs that I've been working on challenging as well.
Speaker 11: Now what is it about so somebody like I'm curious
Speaker 11: that somebody like seely Dan for example, What what is
Speaker 11: it that's that's challenging about that?
Speaker 12: Oh my god. They are such nerds when it comes
Speaker 12: to the musicality of it. Yeah, pronunciation of when when
Speaker 12: you know you're singing, And I mean Michael McDonald did
Speaker 12: an interview about how when he was recording PEG with
Speaker 12: Donald Fagan, Yeah, and how he was very that's the
Speaker 12: word I'm looking for. He wanted it perfectly. He wanted
Speaker 12: it perfectly every single time. So this pronunciation with his words,
Speaker 12: how he was pronunciating it, I was singing it everything.
Speaker 12: It took him like seventeen to eighteen takes no can
Speaker 12: do the harmonies on PEG or whatever he goes. It
Speaker 12: was one of the hardest things I've ever read to do.
Speaker 11: Oh wow wow.
Speaker 21: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Is it important to you when when you do these covers?
Speaker 11: Is it important to you to sing them as closely
Speaker 11: as possible to the original.
Speaker 12: I like to bring a justice but also make it
Speaker 12: my own. Yeah, give it my own twist on it
Speaker 12: in a way, so it's not oh hey, he's just
Speaker 12: you know, like the other everybody else the run of
Speaker 12: the mill, right right, Yeah, stand out a little bit.
Speaker 11: So yeah, no doubt, no doubt. What are do you
Speaker 11: have a favorite like, do you have a favorite cover
Speaker 11: that you do? Is there one that really kind of
Speaker 11: stands out of something to every show?
Speaker 12: I just I went over this, I get this question,
Speaker 12: actually asked a lot. Yeah, it's hard to say. I
Speaker 12: have like almost two hundred songs that I play off
Speaker 12: to my head, so yeah, it's hard to like pick
Speaker 12: and choose. It's usually ones that like I'm like just
Speaker 12: learning or you know what i mean, just getting out
Speaker 12: there to play. Yeah, as of lately, it's been noa
Speaker 12: Kn's Dial Drunk. I really enjoying playing that one out lately.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it kind of always fluctuates for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 11: What's the longest show you've done?
Speaker 12: Oh man, the longest show I've done I think was
Speaker 12: like seven and a half hours.
Speaker 11: Oh my god. Okay, tell me about it. Way seven
Speaker 11: and a half hours.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it was a private pool party.
Speaker 11: Because usually when I ask people this question, I'll get like, oh,
Speaker 11: you know, we did a five hours, like seven and
Speaker 11: a half yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 12: So so like I did like a lot of like
Speaker 12: the shows like El Street Tovern last year, and yeah,
Speaker 12: there was a couple of times like that I had
Speaker 12: to do both of the shows because one of the
Speaker 12: guys canceled. Yeah, or so I had to go on
Speaker 12: there early, play from like three to three thirty to
Speaker 12: seven thirty, then play seven thirty to midnight or wow.
Speaker 12: Yeah it's rough. It's rough.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, but why we do it?
Speaker 12: You know what I mean?
Speaker 11: When you do something like that? Do you do anything
Speaker 11: special for your voice too?
Speaker 12: Like I really just drink tea and lemons. Oh that's
Speaker 12: really all I do. Especially I didn't drink any today.
Speaker 12: I was running late this night.
Speaker 11: Oh you sound great, now, you sound great? And yeah,
Speaker 11: but pretty unusual to sing this early, probably right, it
Speaker 11: is for me.
Speaker 12: Usually usually I'm waking up at like three really yeah yeah,
Speaker 12: getting ready to go to work at six.
Speaker 11: Yeah, there you go, there you go, yep. So and
Speaker 11: as far as playing, I mean, obviously, with what you
Speaker 11: do you're able to play, you know, you can play
Speaker 11: just about anywhere, but just about like do you get
Speaker 11: out of do you get out of New England much?
Speaker 12: Or do you kind of stick to I Actually I
Speaker 12: haven't played. I play in Massachusetts a lot. Yeah, do
Speaker 12: like Brownies Pub. I usually do Muddy Waters where's that
Speaker 12: that's in Methune as well. Oh okay, yeah, and then
Speaker 12: a few other places that I've played, But other than that,

Speaker 11: who's he's not here, he's on the West Coast now,
Speaker 11: but he used to. He used to have big world
Speaker 11: productions here in New Hampshire, and so he was he
Speaker 11: was putting on shows around New England and he did
Speaker 11: a bunch of shows with her. But yeah, that's that's
Speaker 11: how I met her. And yeah, she was fantastic.
Speaker 12: She's absolutely incredible. So I just went and saw her,
Speaker 12: first time I've ever seen her. I used to watch
Speaker 12: her show videos all the time. My mom got me
Speaker 12: into her. Yeah, I had front row seats with her
Speaker 12: and I called out. I yelled at shame play shameless
Speaker 12: her and it happened to be the last song that

Speaker 11: time where like, like today, it's not even a big deal,
Speaker 11: right because of the Internet, anybody can can start a lab,
Speaker 11: you know, quote unquote right, but she but she did
Speaker 11: it at a time when it was unusual, and you know,
Speaker 11: I I know she's talked in interviews about how you know,
Speaker 11: she faced a lot of headwinds doing that. People didn't
Speaker 11: necessarily believe in her, give her a chance.
Speaker 12: They were like, I think, uh, she's done a lot
Speaker 12: for the women of the you know.
Speaker 11: Yeah, oh totally absolutely, Yeah, yeah, because I remember one
Speaker 11: interview I read with her, she was saying, like, you know,
Speaker 11: people just looked at her like, who is this chick
Speaker 11: who thinks she can do this?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 11: But but she was determined to do it, and she
Speaker 11: did it.
Speaker 12: Give somebody an opportunity. If they have the drive and
Speaker 12: the hunger, they'll they'll make it happen.

Speaker 11: Okay, Oh very good, very good. And uh let's see
Speaker 11: so Katie is here, let me get that make up. Katie.
Speaker 11: Welcome back to the show.
Speaker 26: Hi, Thanks thanks for having me.
Speaker 11: Yeah, we talked. Uh, so we did talk a little bit.
Speaker 11: It was a couple of months. It was still during
Speaker 11: the winter, or was the end of winter. It was
Speaker 11: like it was like roll. It was like we thought
Speaker 11: winter was over and then woke up one morning to
Speaker 11: a winter wonderland.
Speaker 26: That was That was wild.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that was that was That was so traveling was
Speaker 11: a bit difficult, but you did call in, so that
Speaker 11: was great. But it's great to see you in person.
Speaker 11: And the last time I saw you in person was
Speaker 11: of course on Rob as a Vito show granted State
Speaker 11: of Mind. So that was a lot of fun. But
Speaker 11: welcome back. Thanks, And I know we talked about it
Speaker 11: on Rob show. But that song wild, that's you know,
Speaker 11: it's different for you, different than than Can you tell
Speaker 11: us again the story of how that came together in
Speaker 11: the studio for people who might maybe not have heard
Speaker 11: us talking about it before.
Speaker 26: Yeah, it was really cool because I was doing a
Speaker 26: collection of songs at Rocking Horse Studio and I went
Speaker 26: in one day just to lay the piano tracks, because
Speaker 26: all three songs that I had chosen were piano based
Speaker 26: songs that I had written on that instrument, and so
Speaker 26: I laid the three songs and then I was like,
Speaker 26: you know, I do have another piano song that I
Speaker 26: could throw in here, but it was kind of a
Speaker 26: last minute Let's try it. Let me just record the
Speaker 26: piano and let you guys hear it, and if down
Speaker 26: the road you feel it and we want to add
Speaker 26: anything to it, we will. And so I kind of
Speaker 26: did it on a whim. Again, I had only been
Speaker 26: planning on doing three singles, and the guys in the
Speaker 26: studio they loved it, and I wasn't. I hadn't gone
Speaker 26: in with any idea of production or anything, so again
Speaker 26: wasn't planning on recording it, and so because of that,
Speaker 26: we had a lot of freedom to just try stuff,
Speaker 26: and the production ended up coming out really unique and
Speaker 26: different than anything I've done. So it was an exciting
Speaker 26: process and really fun. And my dad's actually on that
Speaker 26: track too. He did a speaking part that's kind of
Speaker 26: embedded in there, which is pretty neat.
Speaker 11: Yeah, when you approached him with that, what did he like?
Speaker 11: How did he react it? First? Was he was he
Speaker 11: into it? Was he skeptical? Was he like, what you
Speaker 11: want me to do?
Speaker 17: What I think?
Speaker 26: He was like so excited, but he was also nervous.
Speaker 11: So both yeah, yeah, no, it came out great. Do
Speaker 11: you do you usually write on the piano. You mentioned
Speaker 11: the three tracks you recorded, there were all songs you
Speaker 11: wrote on the piano.
Speaker 26: I've been writing more on the piano, but a piano
Speaker 26: was actually my first instrument when I was younger. But
Speaker 26: I was I learned classically, so I was, you know,
Speaker 26: classically trained kind of, and so it took me a
Speaker 26: while to realize, oh, I could write on piano just
Speaker 26: like I write on guitar, because you know, you've heard
Speaker 26: guitar all you need is three chords in the truth.
Speaker 26: So once I learned three chords on guitar, it was like,
Speaker 26: oh my gosh, I was writing all these songs. I
Speaker 26: was in eighth grade, and I was just like, oh,
Speaker 26: I'm writing about my life. This is awesome.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 26: But it wasn't until much later that I kind of
Speaker 26: challenged myself to think, wait, I think I could create
Speaker 26: stuff on the piano as well. So, yeah, I do.
Speaker 26: I do both. And sometimes I don't write on an
Speaker 26: instrument at all. I just I lyrics and melody comes first,
Speaker 26: and I do I'll write like a whole song with
Speaker 26: no instrument and then add things later.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I've heard a lot of a lot of instructors
Speaker 11: say that it's it's a good idea to learn at
Speaker 11: least no matter what instrument you're playing, to learn at
Speaker 11: least some basic keyboarding because it will help you with
Speaker 11: everything else, which sadly, I never bothered to do. I had.
Speaker 11: I had one of those old, cheap Cassio keyboards growing up,
Speaker 11: but I never really learned to play it. But yeah,
Speaker 11: but what do you play anything else? You play guitar,
Speaker 11: you play piano, do you play anything else?
Speaker 26: Or every now and then, if someone lets me, I'll
Speaker 26: play kahone really yeah, yeah, like on one of their
Speaker 26: songs or something. But just I don't. I haven't done
Speaker 26: anything technical with it. I have my dad has a
Speaker 26: bass guitar that he was learning how to play, and
Speaker 26: I've picked that up a couple of times and fiddled
Speaker 26: around with it. It's an instrument i'd like to learn.
Speaker 26: I just haven't dedicated enough time to it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you can pick it up quick, I mean, if
Speaker 11: you're already played guitar, you can pick up the bass
Speaker 11: pretty quick.
Speaker 26: Yeah, It's it makes sense because it's sprets and I
Speaker 26: tried to learn violin when I was younger, and I
Speaker 26: also attempted the saxophone both. I thought I was doing
Speaker 26: pretty good, but I think my family didn't agree, right.
Speaker 11: Right, saxophones loud instrument, Yeah, no, they're so.
Speaker 26: Super supportive, but I think there are some instruments that, like,
Speaker 26: if it's not coming quickly and naturally, might be more
Speaker 26: painful to listen.
Speaker 11: To them, right, No, that makes sense, that makes sense.
Speaker 26: Yeah, yeah, But I love the violin. I wish that
Speaker 26: I had fully learned it because it's just so beautiful.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Now do you have a busy summer? Are you playing
Speaker 11: a lot? I would imagine you're playing out there.
Speaker 26: Yeah, yeah, And I have some things I'm excited about.
Speaker 26: I I record with other instrumentalists and singers, like most
Speaker 26: of my music is recorded with a band and kind
Speaker 26: of bringing out that fuller production. But normally when I perform,
Speaker 26: I'm pretty much always solo. I haven't really done band
Speaker 26: shows since, you know, my different album release shows that
Speaker 26: I did years ago, and a couple other kind of
Speaker 26: special things. But this summer I have a full band
Speaker 26: show coming up at Bank in New Hampshire Pavilion on
Speaker 26: their side stage. Oh wow, So that'll be fun to
Speaker 26: bring the fullness back together again and perform with other people.
Speaker 26: And then I don't know if you know Chris Noise.
Speaker 26: He's a bass player. He played on these new singles
Speaker 26: on Wild and.
Speaker 11: I don't think I know Chris. Is he related to
Speaker 11: Ron Noise?
Speaker 26: I don't know, because.
Speaker 11: Ron's a musician, I wonder if they're related. No, I
Speaker 11: don't think I know Chris.
Speaker 26: So he played bass on some of my studio tracks.
Speaker 26: And he's playing with me up in Portsmouth at the
Speaker 26: Tuesdays on the Terrace at Strawberry Bank Museum.
Speaker 11: Oh cool.
Speaker 26: So we've got that and a couple other kind of
Speaker 26: fun outdoor summer shows where I'm playing with him and
Speaker 26: another guy on drums. So yeah, it'll be fun to
Speaker 26: play with other people again and bring the songs to
Speaker 26: life in a different way.
Speaker 11: Yeah, but it doesn't sound like you have any any
Speaker 11: interest in doing like a permanent full band.
Speaker 26: We'll see see where things go. I'm never Before we
Speaker 26: went live on air, you guys were saying, like we go.
Speaker 15: With the flow.
Speaker 26: Like I'm not really married to anything. It's kind of
Speaker 26: how I feel.
Speaker 17: I don't know.
Speaker 26: I have I have hopes, but I don't have like
Speaker 26: necessarily set in stone expectations that I want or don't want.
Speaker 26: So if it came together naturally and it was like
Speaker 26: really fun and everybody totally gibed, I could see doing.
Speaker 11: More of it for sure. Yeah, no, that makes sense.
Speaker 11: And are you still are you still just putting out
Speaker 11: singles or do you have an EP or I don't.
Speaker 26: I was just shy of an EP when I recorded
Speaker 26: my four songs. I mean, I suppose I could have
Speaker 26: turned it into a collection. I've thought about adding some
Speaker 26: songs and making it a full collection. I'm not there yet,
Speaker 26: I haven't. I actually have one kind of wintery song,
Speaker 26: not to bring snow back up on. I have one
Speaker 26: song that I'm working on recording. It's kind of a
Speaker 26: mix of I recorded some of it at home and
Speaker 26: some of it at Mike Moran's home studio. He is
Speaker 26: a drummer and a bass player and a guitarist, and
Speaker 26: we've played together a lot in the past, and we
Speaker 26: have some stuff coming up this summer, so we've been
Speaker 26: working on producing that song together. So and then I
Speaker 26: have some other ideas, but nothing no like exciting release
Speaker 26: dates to share.
Speaker 11: Yeah. Right now, You've worked with a number of different producers, right,
Speaker 11: it seems like you've.
Speaker 26: Yeah, every project has been totally different. First record I
Speaker 26: recorded in New Hampshire with Ryan Ordway and then yeah,
Speaker 26: yeah and that was really fun. And then my second
Speaker 26: record I recorded on the South Shore in mass with
Speaker 26: Sean McLoughlin. And then this last collection I did with
Speaker 26: Brian Coombs at Rocking Horror Studios in Pittsfield. And then
Speaker 26: I've done a little bit tried to do a little
Speaker 26: bit of home recording too and kind of feeling that out.
Speaker 26: But it is a lot of work to record your
Speaker 26: own stuff. I mean, it's a lot of work to
Speaker 26: go to the studio too, but oh yeah, you have
Speaker 26: other hands and eyes and ears on it, and they
Speaker 26: know what they're doing more than like I'm sort of
Speaker 26: learning as I go. But it's fun. I like that
Speaker 26: part of it too.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, yeah, let's the adventure of it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Do you want to play something for us?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Sure, let me turn up that. Yeah, go and god
Speaker 11: and strum a little. Just want to make sure I
Speaker 11: get there. Oh yeah, that sounds good. Badphones, yeah, excellent?
Speaker 26: All right, cool, I'm gonna play a brand new one
Speaker 26: for you if that's okay. Absolutely, so I've been trying
Speaker 26: to challenge myself. I think I mentioned this to you
Speaker 26: last time I saw you challenge myself to make time
Speaker 26: for songwriting, which sounds like, well, duh, you're a songwriter, right,
Speaker 26: is that all you do? But sometimes the weeks just
Speaker 26: go by and I'm like, oh my gosh, like my
Speaker 26: creative need is just like being squished down. And so
Speaker 26: I've been trying to bring that more to the forefront.
Speaker 26: So in trying to write more songs, which if anyone's listening,
Speaker 26: I would like to follow along on my new songwriting journey.
Speaker 26: I've been sharing things, all the new stuff on Patreon,
Speaker 26: which is like a place online that you can support artists,
Speaker 26: and patreon dot com slash Katie Doobbins music. But this
Speaker 26: is one of the ones that I wrote for my
Speaker 26: almost song a Week project, not quite a song a week,
Speaker 26: but it's called Coffee in the Morning, and it's about
Speaker 26: how when you fall in love and suddenly you're liking
Speaker 26: things and doing things that you never really cared about before,
Speaker 26: just because of that other person.
Speaker 23: You know, is it that wrangler or your rugged hands
Speaker 23: in my is it that open road or the smell.
Speaker 2: Of your cologne?
Speaker 23: Do I even like the challenge of a standard. It's
Speaker 23: just the way you laugh every time I stall it.
Speaker 23: I don't even know if I like coffee in the morning.
Speaker 23: Maybe that's just something out the way you pull it
Speaker 23: for me as the soul lights up the kitchen. We're
Speaker 23: too early for my liking, but I like having that
Speaker 23: quiet time with you. Is it that country song or
Speaker 23: the way you sing it for me?
Speaker 26: Is it that dance floor or.
Speaker 23: The way you pull me clothes? Do I even like
Speaker 23: staying up past midnight? Or just the way you hold
Speaker 23: my handwalking in me home. I don't even know if
Speaker 23: I should like that whiskey bourbon. Maybe there's just something
Speaker 23: about the taste of it on your lips as the
Speaker 23: moon lights.
Speaker 2: Up the kitchen.
Speaker 23: Too late for my liking, but I like talking into
Speaker 23: the night with you. I don't even know if I
Speaker 23: like bike rides, game night, using.
Speaker 15: Fireflies in a jar. I don't think I haven't need
Speaker 15: to go.
Speaker 23: Fishing or stay all night chasing stars unless it's where
Speaker 23: you are, unless it's.
Speaker 15: When you.
Speaker 23: Because I don't even know if I like coffee in
Speaker 23: the morning. Maybe there's just something in about the way
Speaker 23: poor informed me is the swing lights up the kitchen
Speaker 23: way too early for my liking.
Speaker 26: But I like Kevin, that quiet time with you.
Speaker 23: I don't even know if I like coffee in the morning,
Speaker 23: but I know how really like.
Speaker 15: The way you poor it for me.
Speaker 11: Oh that's beautiful, Thank you, very nice, very nice. So
Speaker 11: that's uh so that's new. That's that's very new then, right?
Speaker 26: Yeah, I reade that a couple of months ago.
Speaker 11: Now, very cool, very cool. If you're just joining us.
Speaker 11: Katie Dobbins is here with us, alive in studio and
Speaker 11: sounding amazing. So so you have are you playing that
Speaker 11: one out curly or is that or have you not?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 26: I played it a couple of times at live shows.
Speaker 26: I think that was the radio debut.
Speaker 11: Okay, awesome, We Love That, We Love the We Love
Speaker 11: the World premieres here. Do you have any idea how
Speaker 11: many songs you've written at this point? Can you put
Speaker 11: in like like like is it in triple digits yet?
Speaker 4: Do you think?
Speaker 9: Or?
Speaker 15: Oh?
Speaker 26: I mean it probably depends on if I want to
Speaker 26: count every song I've ever written, probably yes, But if
Speaker 26: I just count the ones that I like, yeah, I'm
Speaker 26: not sure.
Speaker 11: Yeah. Do they? Do you have some that you've kind
Speaker 11: of retired, Like, are there some early ones that used
Speaker 11: to play that you don't play anymore?
Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean I I play the stuff from my
Speaker 26: first album still. I play several of those songs out yea,
Speaker 26: not all of them. And then there are some, yeah,
Speaker 26: the some originals that I used to play, Like when
Speaker 26: you first write it and you're like, I really love
Speaker 26: this song because you wrote you just wrote it, so
Speaker 26: you're right and real, like passionate and emotional about it
Speaker 26: because you know it just came from.
Speaker 11: Your Yeah, it's most being.
Speaker 26: And yeah, So I had some like that I felt
Speaker 26: really excited about in the moment, and then kind of
Speaker 26: down the road was that sort of faded, you know,
Speaker 26: and they really got their full full moment in the sun,
Speaker 26: I guess.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I've probably asked you this before, but do you
Speaker 11: remember the first song you ever wrote?
Speaker 26: The first song I wrote was a co write. Well,
Speaker 26: the first song I wrote was actually a cappella in
Speaker 26: like fifth grade, and I wrote it my best friend
Speaker 26: had moved to California and I was so sad, and
Speaker 26: so I wrote this song about you know. I think
Speaker 26: it was called best Friend. The first song I ever
Speaker 26: wrote on guitar was a co write. My friend Sarah
Speaker 26: Ellen had taught me a few chords on guitar and
Speaker 26: she had been writing songs, so we're like, let's write
Speaker 26: a song together. And we wrote a song about our
Speaker 26: grandfather's But if you asked me to play it, I
Speaker 26: truly don't remember how it goes.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 26: I remember thinking it was really good. I was so
Speaker 26: you know, we were so excited about it, and we
Speaker 26: played it at some open mics and things like that,
Speaker 26: which is like really really fun. Yeah, you know, you're
Speaker 26: in eighth grade on stage playing a duet that you
Speaker 26: wrote and you just feel like a rock star.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Now have you you've been doing this full time
Speaker 11: now for quite some time?
Speaker 26: Right, a few years now?
Speaker 23: Yeah.
Speaker 26: I think I made the shift to full time in
Speaker 26: like spring of twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two, okay, Yeah,
Speaker 26: And it took took a while to find my stride
Speaker 26: and still kind of, you know, figuring out balance. I
Speaker 26: feel like I talk about balance a lot, but it's hard,
Speaker 26: Like you wear so many hats when you're oh yeah,
Speaker 26: music is a it's not just songwriting and performing, but
Speaker 26: you're I think of it as like you're running your
Speaker 26: own business. You know, you're booking, you're promoting, you're trying
Speaker 26: to make money, you're doing you know, recording all this stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 26: and so finding balance and a good rhythm is something
Speaker 26: I feel like I'm always like working on getting a
Speaker 26: little more honed in. But it's fun. I love it,
Speaker 26: and since making the decision to do it full time,
Speaker 26: I've never regretted it at all. But I will say
Speaker 26: it's not for everyone because I feel like whenever I
Speaker 26: tell another artist, oh, yeah, I do it full time,
Speaker 26: because they'll ask what do you do during the day,
Speaker 26: And I feel like a lot of times people say, oh,
Speaker 26: like I want to do that too. I'm just I'm
Speaker 26: trying to get there, and almost from a place of
Speaker 26: like they feel like they're not doing it yet if
Speaker 26: they're not doing it full time or something, and it's
Speaker 26: like you really have to assess. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 26: it adds a sort of you have to really want
Speaker 26: to do it full time and know that there's going
Speaker 26: to be a period of like hardship that comes with that,
Speaker 26: and be okay with that. And also there's nothing wrong
Speaker 26: with having, you know, a job that you're good at
Speaker 26: or that you like that you know funds funds what
Speaker 26: you love too, and it gives you that like consistency.
Speaker 26: So I love doing it how I'm doing it, But
Speaker 26: I don't think it's for everybody. So when I say that,
Speaker 26: if you're an artist listening, don't feel pressured to like
Speaker 26: I need to do that too, You don't, you know,
Speaker 26: everybody does this so differently.
Speaker 11: So yeah, and I think too, you know, if you
Speaker 11: you can still call yourself a professional musician even if
Speaker 11: you're doing it part time. You know, the way I've
Speaker 11: always looked at it is, and really with any profession,
Speaker 11: you can call yourself a professional if you've ever been
Speaker 11: paid for what you do. True, That's how I look
Speaker 11: at it. So even if even if you you know,
Speaker 11: you've just gotten you know, thirty dollars you know, playing
Speaker 11: a set somewhere, well, you're now a professional musician. If
Speaker 11: somebody somebody gave you money, you know, for that, then
Speaker 11: you're now a professional. And you know, I think I
Speaker 11: think sometimes, yeah, I think sometimes people get self conscious
Speaker 11: about it, you know, if they're if they're doing it
Speaker 11: part time, you know, but they're still working at something else.
Speaker 11: But but I think too, part of the key is
Speaker 11: and you kind of alluded to it. If you have
Speaker 11: if you have another job that you really love, then
Speaker 11: you know, because the important thing is to fill your life,
Speaker 11: I think with things that you love to do, you know,
Speaker 11: whether it's part time, full time time, whether you're a
Speaker 11: full time musician or a part time musician and full
Speaker 11: time doing something else, or whatever it is. You know,
Speaker 11: don't you don't want to no matter what. You don't
Speaker 11: want to waste your life doing things you hate, which
Speaker 11: is what a lot of people do. You know, They
Speaker 11: work their whole lives at a job they don't like,
Speaker 11: and it's like, why find something you love?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 26: You know definitely.
Speaker 11: Now, do you have any advice for people who are
Speaker 11: you know, because a lot of musicians listen to the
Speaker 11: show and a lot of industry people. Do you have
Speaker 11: any advice for someone who is really thinking about trying
Speaker 11: to do this full time but they're hesitant?
Speaker 26: Yeah, I would talk to people who are doing it
Speaker 26: full time. Yeah, that's what I did. I talked to
Speaker 26: several people that were doing it full time and I
Speaker 26: was like, what is this really like for you? How
Speaker 26: is this working? And I found out that most people
Speaker 26: that are doing it full time that you know, they
Speaker 26: are getting support in some way loved ones, or they're
Speaker 26: sacrificing something, you know, like my Manny Pattic cares I
Speaker 26: used to be able to get for myself on I mean,
Speaker 26: that's a tiny sacrifice. I'm part kidding, but yeah, you know,
Speaker 26: you said you might sacrifice like some kind of lifestyle
Speaker 26: that you're used to in order to pursue this, And
Speaker 26: I just I would talk to somebody who's doing it,
Speaker 26: or multiple people that are doing it, just to get
Speaker 26: like a full picture of what this actually is before you,
Speaker 26: you know, just put the pedal to the metal and
Speaker 26: you know, give up everything you know and and go
Speaker 26: in blindly. So that because it always sounds like such
Speaker 26: a dream, you know, but you really want to make
Speaker 26: an informed decision about and ask yourself, is this really
Speaker 26: what I want to do?
Speaker 11: Right? And nothing's as glamorous as it looks from the
Speaker 11: outside either, you know, And as you also mentioned, there's
Speaker 11: a lot of work. You know, it's not just creating music,
Speaker 11: it's it's all the business stuff you got to do, right,
Speaker 11: and keeping up with social media too, which some people
Speaker 11: enjoy and embrace and some people are just like I
Speaker 11: wish I didn't have to do that part. But you
Speaker 11: do have to do that part, yep.
Speaker 26: And I feel like it ebbs and flows too, like
Speaker 26: I have and I we used to get harder on myself,
Speaker 26: and I'm accepting this more and more. Like there are
Speaker 26: seasons where I'm doing a lot more stuff online social media,
Speaker 26: you know, posting videos, things like that, and then there
Speaker 26: are seasons where I'm playing out a lot more so
Speaker 26: I don't have as much time to be present online.
Speaker 26: Then there are seasons where, oh it's a slower show season,
Speaker 26: so I'm songwriting or I'm in the studio. And I
Speaker 26: think at first I felt like I have to do
Speaker 26: all these things all the time, you know, like and
Speaker 26: I still feel that a little bit, but it's like
Speaker 26: being okay with the ebb and flow of what it
Speaker 26: means to be an art maker and performer, like distributor
Speaker 26: of that art. There's just you can't always do it
Speaker 26: all all the time or you totally burn out, right.
Speaker 11: Right, Yeah, no doubt. Oh do you want to play
Speaker 11: another one for us?
Speaker 26: Yeah, I'll play giants since you told me like this
Speaker 26: one do.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 11: So the first time I heard that was on Rob Show.
Speaker 11: That was the first time i'd heard that song, and yeah,
Speaker 11: I love this song. Yeah cool absolutely Haitie Dobbins live
Speaker 11: in studio.
Speaker 26: I feel like this is a good song to play
Speaker 26: right now too, because it's about doing things that feel
Speaker 26: hard and facing the things that feel impossible in your
Speaker 26: life and remembering that you are actually more powerful than
Speaker 26: you may realize. And the giants in your life they're
Speaker 26: just make believe, like those giants in your closet when
Speaker 26: you're a little kid.
Speaker 23: Your sweatshirt falling off my should it's too big. But
Speaker 23: then again, it onlys was when did I become so small?
Speaker 23: Living in your shadow? I don't fill the space. Ah,
Speaker 23: feel like I've been swallowed. Don't take too much space,
Speaker 23: my mind said, shrink, So I don't riskiny thing bader
Speaker 23: to be safe then to be sorry.
Speaker 15: Well I'm sorry.
Speaker 23: I don't feel safe far frount shy.
Speaker 15: Maybe it's time.
Speaker 23: I co matter Hi day Aptain Saultier just makes me good.
Speaker 29: I lie.
Speaker 23: Just so you could think that you're the child. You're
Speaker 23: colone rushing off my shoulder. It's over powering, But then again,
Speaker 23: it onlys was now that I am coming clean, shutting
Speaker 23: everything but me, doing all my skin. Tell me, are

Speaker 23: Believe.
Speaker 11: I love it, Katie Dobbins live in Studio. Yeah, that
Speaker 11: is a great, great song.
Speaker 17: I love it.
Speaker 11: Great song, great song that one's been out for a
Speaker 11: little while, right, But that is that is that kind
Speaker 11: of newer Yeah, that's.
Speaker 26: Like in my newer collection of singles recorded at Rocking Horse. Okay, okay,
Speaker 26: and that when I actually started writing on the electric guitar. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 26: I have an electric guitar. I just I don't play
Speaker 26: it out. I would like to learn how to do
Speaker 26: cool stuff on it. Yeah yeah, yeah, but yeah, I
Speaker 26: kind of had like a little riff going, and then
Speaker 26: I moved to acoustic guitar, and then I was like, no,
Speaker 26: this is a piano song.
Speaker 11: So oh okay. Have you have you played electric guitar
Speaker 11: on any of your studio recordings so far?
Speaker 26: No other people have played my guitar.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 26: Yeah, actually that's not true. I recorded I have a
Speaker 26: single called Starlights that I recorded during the pandemic in
Speaker 26: my home studio that I actually did do my own
Speaker 26: little electric guitar riff on.
Speaker 11: Oh really Yeah, you want.
Speaker 26: To check out my electric guitar playing. You can check
Speaker 26: out Starlights.
Speaker 11: Oh okay, okay, very cool, very cool. When you when
Speaker 11: you play out, I mean you must do some covers too, right,
Speaker 11: I assume you make some covers in yeah.
Speaker 26: Yeah, And it depends on the show. Yeah, if I'm
Speaker 26: doing like a three hour gig, for sure.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 26: And then I have I have a bunch of shows
Speaker 26: coming out this summer that are like focused on original
Speaker 26: music that I'm really excited about. Yeah, but even when
Speaker 26: I do that, I'll throw in, you know, one or
Speaker 26: two just people kind of like something familiar, you know,
Speaker 26: and it's fun. It's fun to I always think, like,
Speaker 26: how cool it must be to be Taylor Swift or
Speaker 26: something and you look out and everyone's singing every lyric
Speaker 26: to your song, right, But that's that's fun about covers,
Speaker 26: is you know. Sometimes I'll transition into a cover song
Speaker 26: from an original. It's just fun to look out and
Speaker 26: see people bopping around and singing along with you, and yeah,
Speaker 26: fun moment.
Speaker 1: Do you have?
Speaker 11: Do you do any covers that you found particularly challenging
Speaker 11: to learn? Sometimes I get some surprising answers when I
Speaker 11: ask people this. I'm just curious, like is there anything
Speaker 11: you said I'm going to learn that one? And then
Speaker 11: it turned out to be kind of challenging.
Speaker 26: I don't think so, But I don't learn traditionally, Like
Speaker 26: if I'm learning a new cover, I sort of just
Speaker 26: will look up the chords and then play it however
Speaker 26: feels good to me. Whereas some people are which would
Speaker 26: be good for me to do. Some people are going
Speaker 26: on you know YouTube and like watching a bunch of
Speaker 26: videos and learning how the actual original artist plays it.
Speaker 11: Sure.
Speaker 26: I sometimes when I learn to cover, I don't even
Speaker 26: know the song that well, like I'll kind of know it,
Speaker 26: and then I feel like it makes it easier to
Speaker 26: put my own twists on it because my kind of
Speaker 26: I'm learning it, but also like making it feel good
Speaker 26: to me because I only kind of know the song.
Speaker 11: No, I'm at school, they'll make it your own.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 26: Yeah, But I I did learn Forever Young as a
Speaker 26: song I love playing by Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell
Speaker 26: has a version of that song. I'm sorry. Joan Bias
Speaker 26: has a version of that song that's really beautiful, and
Speaker 26: so I did learn her guitar version to it, and
Speaker 26: it was a really pretty like I felt really fancy
Speaker 26: when I learned to this, you know, yeah, and it's
Speaker 26: really pretty. Yeah, So that one I did learn traditionally
Speaker 26: because I was like, that's just so beautiful.
Speaker 11: I got to learn that part that makes sense, that
Speaker 11: makes sense. You want to play another live one? I yeah,
Speaker 11: we got we got time.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Selfishly, I want to hear more. You just sound so great.
Speaker 26: Ah, that's so nice. I want to hear another new
Speaker 26: newer one.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that would be cool, that would be great.
Speaker 26: I have a I have a single out. My newest
Speaker 26: single is called Grateful, and it's about gratitude. Yeah shocker uh.
Speaker 26: And so I'm not going to play that, but I
Speaker 26: will play another song that's sort of on the same theme.
Speaker 26: I feel like it's called miss these days, because you know,
Speaker 26: today or someday we're gonna be like that was the
Speaker 26: good old days. So you gotta soak it in.
Speaker 23: Yep, Mama's calling from the kitchen on the other side
Speaker 23: of the house. I can't hear what she's saying. I
Speaker 23: just chuckle to myself, and the dog is going crazy
Speaker 23: about a squirrel outside the window, and Daddy's watching news
Speaker 23: about what God only knows. It's a little bit of
Speaker 23: chaos on a quiet country road, in a humble, old
Speaker 23: brick house where we made ourselves a home. I don't
Speaker 23: know what tomorrow brings. I'm not sure of much, but
Speaker 23: I'm sure someday I'm gonna miss these days. I'm sure
Speaker 23: some day I'm gonna.
Speaker 6: Miss things days.
Speaker 23: So I'm living on hope and excite me for each
Speaker 23: day as it comes. Keep showing up for the journey
Speaker 23: where for riddamy lead Life's father uncertainty. But all I
Speaker 23: wanna do so kid in.
Speaker 14: Kiss.
Speaker 23: I'm sure someday I'm gonna miss these days. I'm sure
Speaker 23: some day i'm gonna miss things day days. I'm heading
Speaker 23: down the long road on the way to another show,
Speaker 23: running on prayers and Kathene will being my sons to
Speaker 23: touch your souls. And the car is packed so high
Speaker 23: I can't see out my back window. I'm following my dreams,
Speaker 23: and now some guy who's going so slow. I got
Speaker 23: a little bit of road rage on a quiet country

Speaker 26: I'm gonna head over to hang out with Chris Noise
Speaker 26: the Bassis. We're gonna do some practice in for our
Speaker 26: gig at Strawberry Bank later this month.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and then I do.
Speaker 26: I'm part of I sing at my church, which meets
Speaker 26: on top of a mountain on Sunday morning, So tomorrow
Speaker 26: I'll be hik into that and doing that whole thing
Speaker 26: up at Gunstock Mountain. But other than that, my weekend's
Speaker 26: pretty quiet and I've been very much on the go lately.
Speaker 26: I just got back two weeks ago from my first
Speaker 26: solo road trip tour down to Nashville, Tennessee. I was
Speaker 26: gone for a week and a half and I didn't
Speaker 26: really plan and transition time before or after the trip.
Speaker 26: I just said, I was like, yeah, I'll just like
Speaker 26: keep going one hundred miles an hour right up to it,
Speaker 26: and then I'll just come back and get right in
Speaker 26: the swing of things. So I'm definitely feeling the effects
Speaker 26: of that a little bit.
Speaker 15: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 26: So I'm kind of happy to have a quiet weekend
Speaker 26: and then things will pick up. I have shows next week.
Speaker 26: On Wednesday, I'm in Portsmouth, and then Thursday I have
Speaker 26: a cool I'm hosting a touring artist at hermit Wood's
Speaker 26: Winery in Meredith, New Hampshire. It's a listening room up there,
Speaker 26: so if you're up in the Lakes region or heading
Speaker 26: up that way, come hang out Thursday night, and then
Speaker 26: I got shows like all weekend, so it'll be a
Speaker 26: nice little break leading into that.
Speaker 11: Excellent, excellent. How was your trip to Nashville?
Speaker 26: It was awesome. Yeah, it was there. You know, I
Speaker 26: felt like I was just really craving a different perspective
Speaker 26: and just being completely immersed in original music and just
Speaker 26: like seeing new people. And I've also been wanting to
Speaker 26: plan a little road trip toward in Nashville for a
Speaker 26: few years now, but I kept kind of coming up
Speaker 26: against some roadblocks and it just didn't felt. I never
Speaker 26: like it when it feels like I'm forcing something and
Speaker 26: it feels like, Okay, maybe this is not the right timing.
Speaker 26: So this finally came together in a really great way
Speaker 26: and I was able to do it, and I was
Speaker 26: down there for I was in I played a show
Speaker 26: in West Virginia on my way down and stayed with
Speaker 26: some friends, which was awesome, and then I was in
Speaker 26: Nashville for seven full days and I played almost every
Speaker 26: night that I was there. I had one or two
Speaker 26: writers round, so it was like I just met so
Speaker 26: many songwriters and you get to hear them because when
Speaker 26: you're playing a writer's round, you know, you play a
Speaker 26: little bit, and then you also get to hear like
Speaker 26: three other people playing in the round, and so it
Speaker 26: was very inspiring. And it's just so it fills your
Speaker 26: cup and inspires you to like be reminded. Oh yeah,
Speaker 26: there's so many people doing this and doing it you
Speaker 26: know successfully, and I just I And I also it's humbling.
Speaker 26: I left feeling like, yeah, I got to get better,
Speaker 26: keep writing, you know, which is what kind of the
Speaker 26: kick in the butt that I wanted. So yeah, it
Speaker 26: was great.
Speaker 11: Yeah that's pressure. Yeah Nashville, Yeah, absolutely, no, it will
Speaker 11: well that's very cool. Yeah, that's very cool.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 26: It scratched the itch for touring too. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 26: let's get on the row.
Speaker 15: Let's go.
Speaker 26: I mean, I mean being a musician.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 26: I talked about the hardships of doing it full time
Speaker 26: and stuff, but part of the reason I initially wanted
Speaker 26: to do it full time was well, I was just
Speaker 26: so hungry to do it, and I was like, if
Speaker 26: I don't try this, I'll never know if I could
Speaker 26: have made it happen, you know.
Speaker 12: So I just had to do it.
Speaker 26: And part of it was I wanted to do touring,
Speaker 26: which I really am just kind of dipping my toe into,
Speaker 26: at least beyond New England. I play all over New England.
Speaker 26: But I wanted to do more touring, and that's hard
Speaker 26: to do when you have a set work schedule. I
Speaker 26: was teaching, so oh yeah, you know, it's kind of
Speaker 26: hard to tour when you need to be in the classroom.
Speaker 26: So I that was part of what I wanted to do.
Speaker 26: So I'm kind of now just starting to be like, Okay,
Speaker 26: what how can this look and how it citing to
Speaker 26: think of, Wow, I could actually go travel to places
Speaker 26: and see different places around the country and play music
Speaker 26: doing it, you know, I mean that's pretty that's pretty sick.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely. Do you ever miss teaching or I mean,
Speaker 11: I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure you miss.
Speaker 26: Any of my old students are listening so much. I
Speaker 26: did love teaching, I really did. I really did. But
Speaker 26: I have to say it was the right decision.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 26: Yeah, I have never I've never felt like the desire
Speaker 26: to go back to teaching.
Speaker 36: Yeah.
Speaker 26: I think that it was really really good for the time.
Speaker 26: You know, it was a good a good season. I
Speaker 26: learned a lot and there's actually weirdly a lot of
Speaker 26: overlap between managing a classroom and managing your business and
Speaker 26: also like teaching, standing in front of a class, teaching
Speaker 26: and engaging students, and also performing on stage and engaging
Speaker 26: an audience. It's weirdly similar. So like, I'm very, very
Speaker 26: grateful for my teaching.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, no, that makes sense. Yeah, that totally makes sense.
Speaker 11: You ever hear from any of your students who have
Speaker 11: followed your your music career.
Speaker 26: So they some of them do follow me in you know,
Speaker 26: social media, and they'll like like a post. And I
Speaker 26: have a student who will sometimes come when I play
Speaker 26: in Massachusetts. He'll come sometimes come to my shows, which
Speaker 26: is always really fun.
Speaker 11: That's cool. That's very cool. Yeah, yeah, that's excellent. Well,
Speaker 11: so we uh will begin to wrap up in a moment,
Speaker 11: but we'll probably play studio track.
Speaker 26: Whoops, I knew that was coming.
Speaker 17: It's usually me so thank you.
Speaker 11: Jenny and I are both clutches, so where the last
Speaker 11: people will ever judge you for dropping.
Speaker 17: Something to hold onto anything for two days?
Speaker 26: Lately, I feel like my clumsiness is getting worse and
Speaker 26: it might just be the like I said, the aftermaths
Speaker 26: of the trip and not planning enough time to transition.
Speaker 17: To blame it on the humidity week. Maybe it's just
Speaker 17: you know, yeah, it got to us problem.
Speaker 26: I am actually writing a song. It's like, well, I
Speaker 26: only have this so far.
Speaker 23: It's like I can a little clumsy, chipping over my
Speaker 23: own two feet.
Speaker 26: People think I'm funny, but I'm just trying to get by.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm a little.
Speaker 26: Clumsy something something.
Speaker 23: But the clumsiest thing that I ever did.
Speaker 26: Was falling for you.
Speaker 2: For you, I.
Speaker 15: Wait to hear it.
Speaker 26: Maybe you can help me write the rest.
Speaker 11: There you go?
Speaker 2: Cool?
Speaker 11: What what what should we play to close the show?
Speaker 11: What's a studio track we should play?
Speaker 26: Either just because I can or Grateful? Depends if you
Speaker 26: want to play like a rocker track or a dreamy
Speaker 26: grateful track.
Speaker 11: Was Grateful the one that you said had some of
Speaker 11: your electric guitar playing in it.
Speaker 26: No, I don't think you have that song. I don't
Speaker 26: know if I ever sent that. Well, it's called Starlights.
Speaker 26: That was the one I recorded entirely in my home studio.
Speaker 26: I don't know if you have that one.
Speaker 11: Is it online? It is, because if it's online, I
Speaker 11: can find it.
Speaker 26: Oh, I found it okay, and now people in the
Speaker 26: comments can tell you what they think of this was.
Speaker 26: This was before I even had logic pro. I produced
Speaker 26: this on Oh was it garage band?
