12:45 Speaker 3: No, I have been playing?

12:46 Speaker 14: Uh So.

12:46 Speaker 12: I started playing guitar when I was seven years old. Okay, my uncle got me an electric electric guitar, so I was playing you know Metallica, Iron Maiden, you know all the Megadeath, you know Green Day. And then when I was freshman in high school, I had to do a guitar class, so I had to get an acoustic guitar because I didn't have enough for all the kids. So sure, I had to go buy one, got one, never looked back.

13:12 Speaker 13: Yeah.

13:13 Speaker 12: So I've been playing since I was like seven, and I've been doing like full time gigging for about a little over ten years.

13:20 Speaker 11: Oh, excellent, excellent.

13:21 Speaker 3: Wow.

13:21 Speaker 11: Where are you from?

13:22 Speaker 12: Uh So? I was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Okay, moved to Nashville when I was about six years old. So I've been in Nasha since about two thousand and two thousand and one.

13:31 Speaker 11: Okay, okay, now how did you how did you when when you were starting out? I mean, did you always do a solo acoustic thing or did you play a band?

13:41 Speaker 12: I've always done solo acoustic.

13:43 Speaker 2: Ye.

13:44 Speaker 12: Over the years, now that I've you know, been doing it for a while, I've been trying to work more with like, you know, bands and like get up on stage with bands and as far as that goes. But I usually just do it solo.

13:55 Speaker 11: It's easier, right, I mean it's you know, you don't depend on anybody else for ye know, their availability and in terms of rehearsing and playing shows and.

14:04 Speaker 12: All that exactly exactly. It's it's a it's a little bit it's a little bit easier to go about a business wise.

14:11 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, no doubt. Do you do covers as well?

14:14 Speaker 12: Or do do covers as well?

14:15 Speaker 2: Yeah?

14:52 Speaker 11: What is it that motivated you to want to start writing?

14:55 Speaker 12: I really just want to get my own music out there. I mean, I play, I do all the I play live full time, and you know the next step is to get onto my own stage hopefully, you know what I mean, and have people come and see my music.

15:09 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

15:10 Speaker 12: You know, put music out there that you know can help people along the way. And yeah, the ways that music's helped me along the way.

20:30 Speaker 17: Yeah, that was really a beautiful light.

20:32 Speaker 11: That was really good. That was really good. So much is is there anyone that you covered that you found challenging to do, like vocally.

20:39 Speaker 12: Or Steely Dan Amy Winehouse. Really yeah, Yeah, Vocally they're pretty challenging. I mean some of the new Benson Boone songs that I've been working on challenging as well.

20:52 Speaker 11: Now what is it about so somebody like I'm curious that somebody like seely Dan for example, What what is it that's that's challenging about that?

20:58 Speaker 12: Oh my god. They are such nerds when it comes to the musicality of it. Yeah, pronunciation of when when you know you're singing, And I mean Michael McDonald did an interview about how when he was recording PEG with Donald Fagan, Yeah, and how he was very that's the word I'm looking for. He wanted it perfectly. He wanted it perfectly every single time. So this pronunciation with his words, how he was pronunciating it, I was singing it everything. It took him like seventeen to eighteen takes no can do the harmonies on PEG or whatever he goes.

21:31 Speaker 12: It was one of the hardest things I've ever read to do.

21:33 Speaker 11: Oh wow wow.

21:34 Speaker 21: Yeah.

21:35 Speaker 11: Is it important to you when when you do these covers? Is it important to you to sing them as closely as possible to the original.

21:41 Speaker 12: I like to bring a justice but also make it my own. Yeah, give it my own twist on it in a way, so it's not oh hey, he's just you know, like the other everybody else the run of the mill, right right, Yeah, stand out a little bit.

21:53 Speaker 11: So yeah, no doubt, no doubt. What are do you have a favorite like, do you have a favorite cover that you do? Is there one that really kind of stands out of something to every show?

22:03 Speaker 12: I just I went over this, I get this question, actually asked a lot. Yeah, it's hard to say. I have like almost two hundred songs that I play off to my head, so yeah, it's hard to like pick and choose. It's usually ones that like I'm like just learning or you know what i mean, just getting out there to play. Yeah, as of lately, it's been noa Kn's Dial Drunk. I really enjoying playing that one out lately.

22:26 Speaker 11: Yeah.

22:26 Speaker 12: Yeah, it kind of always fluctuates for me.

22:28 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

22:30 Speaker 11: What's the longest show you've done?

22:32 Speaker 12: Oh man, the longest show I've done I think was like seven and a half hours.

22:35 Speaker 11: Oh my god. Okay, tell me about it. Way seven and a half hours.

22:39 Speaker 12: Yeah, it was a private pool party.

22:41 Speaker 11: Because usually when I ask people this question, I'll get like, oh, you know, we did a five hours, like seven and a half yeah, yeah, yeah.

22:47 Speaker 12: So so like I did like a lot of like the shows like El Street Tovern last year, and yeah, there was a couple of times like that I had to do both of the shows because one of the guys canceled. Yeah, or so I had to go on there early, play from like three to three thirty to seven thirty, then play seven thirty to midnight or wow. Yeah it's rough. It's rough.

23:08 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, but why we do it?

23:10 Speaker 12: You know what I mean?

23:11 Speaker 11: When you do something like that? Do you do anything special for your voice too?

23:14 Speaker 12: Like I really just drink tea and lemons. Oh that's really all I do. Especially I didn't drink any today. I was running late this night.

23:20 Speaker 11: Oh you sound great, now, you sound great? And yeah, but pretty unusual to sing this early, probably right, it is for me.

23:28 Speaker 12: Usually usually I'm waking up at like three really yeah yeah, getting ready to go to work at six.

23:34 Speaker 11: Yeah, there you go, there you go, yep. So and as far as playing, I mean, obviously, with what you do you're able to play, you know, you can play just about anywhere, but just about like do you get out of do you get out of New England much?

23:48 Speaker 12: Or do you kind of stick to I Actually I haven't played. I play in Massachusetts a lot. Yeah, do like Brownies Pub. I usually do Muddy Waters where's that that's in Methune as well. Oh okay, yeah, and then a few other places that I've played, But other than that, I usually stay in New Hampshire.

24:09 Speaker 11: No kidding. Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, I mean it's remarkable with you do a lot of breweries. I assume I do a lot of breweries.

24:15 Speaker 12: I do, so I work with not so costly productions.

24:17 Speaker 11: Oh excellent, Dmitri, no wonder you're so busy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they do a great job.

24:22 Speaker 12: Yeah, so I work with them. I've been working with Paul Costley and Dmitry for over god, probably about eight years now.

She was playing at a show in Providence, Okay. And at the time, I was working for a promoter, Joe Fletcher, who's he's not here, he's on the West Coast now, but he used to. He used to have big world productions here in New Hampshire, and so he was he was putting on shows around New England and he did a bunch of shows with her. But yeah, that's that's how I met her.

31:17 Speaker 11: And yeah, she was fantastic.

31:19 Speaker 12: She's absolutely incredible. So I just went and saw her, first time I've ever seen her. I used to watch her show videos all the time. My mom got me into her. Yeah, I had front row seats with her and I called out. I yelled at shame play shameless her and it happened to be the last song that she was going to play that Now, Oh, Wow, she goes, Oh, you got lucky, I have I have a video of it.

But I shouldn't say past tense because she's obviously still active, But but I always thought it was cool that, you know, she she started her own label. She started that indie label at a time where like, like today, it's not even a big deal, right because of the Internet, anybody can can start a lab, you know, quote unquote right, but she but she did it at a time when it was unusual, and you know, I I know she's talked in interviews about how you know, she faced a lot of headwinds doing that.

32:47 Speaker 11: People didn't necessarily believe in her, give her a chance.

32:50 Speaker 12: They were like, I think, uh, she's done a lot for the women of the you know.

32:54 Speaker 11: Yeah, oh totally absolutely, Yeah, yeah, because I remember one interview I read with her, she was saying, like, you know, people just looked at her like, who is this chick who thinks she can do this?

33:04 Speaker 4: You know?

33:04 Speaker 11: But but she was determined to do it, and she did it.

33:06 Speaker 12: Give somebody an opportunity. If they have the drive and the hunger, they'll they'll make it happen.

1:01:42 Speaker 17: Yeah, well, I'll give more info later.

1:01:45 Speaker 11: Okay, Oh very good, very good. And uh let's see so Katie is here, let me get that make up. Katie. Welcome back to the show.

1:01:52 Speaker 26: Hi, Thanks thanks for having me.

1:01:54 Speaker 11: Yeah, we talked. Uh, so we did talk a little bit. It was a couple of months. It was still during the winter, or was the end of winter. It was like it was like roll. It was like we thought winter was over and then woke up one morning to a winter wonderland.

1:02:10 Speaker 26: That was That was wild.

1:02:11 Speaker 11: Yeah, that was that was That was so traveling was a bit difficult, but you did call in, so that was great. But it's great to see you in person. And the last time I saw you in person was of course on Rob as a Vito show granted State of Mind. So that was a lot of fun. But welcome back. Thanks, And I know we talked about it on Rob show. But that song wild, that's you know, it's different for you, different than than Can you tell us again the story of how that came together in the studio for people who might maybe not have heard us talking about it before.

1:02:38 Speaker 26: Yeah, it was really cool because I was doing a collection of songs at Rocking Horse Studio and I went in one day just to lay the piano tracks, because all three songs that I had chosen were piano based songs that I had written on that instrument, and so I laid the three songs and then I was like, you know, I do have another piano song that I could throw in here, but it was kind of a last minute Let's try it. Let me just record the piano and let you guys hear it, and if down the road you feel it and we want to add anything to it, we will.

1:03:08 Speaker 26: And so I kind of did it on a whim. Again, I had only been planning on doing three singles, and the guys in the studio they loved it, and I wasn't. I hadn't gone in with any idea of production or anything, so again wasn't planning on recording it, and so because of that, we had a lot of freedom to just try stuff, and the production ended up coming out really unique and different than anything I've done. So it was an exciting process and really fun. And my dad's actually on that track too. He did a speaking part that's kind of embedded in there, which is pretty neat.

1:03:42 Speaker 11: Yeah, when you approached him with that, what did he like? How did he react it? First? Was he was he into it? Was he skeptical? Was he like, what you want me to do?

1:03:49 Speaker 17: What I think?

1:03:50 Speaker 26: He was like so excited, but he was also nervous.

1:03:55 Speaker 11: So both yeah, yeah, no, it came out great. Do you do you usually write on the piano. You mentioned the three tracks you recorded, there were all songs you wrote on the piano.

1:04:05 Speaker 26: I've been writing more on the piano, but a piano was actually my first instrument when I was younger. But I was I learned classically, so I was, you know, classically trained kind of, and so it took me a while to realize, oh, I could write on piano just like I write on guitar, because you know, you've heard guitar all you need is three chords in the truth. So once I learned three chords on guitar, it was like, oh my gosh, I was writing all these songs. I was in eighth grade, and I was just like, oh, I'm writing about my life.

1:04:32 Speaker 26: This is awesome.

1:04:33 Speaker 11: Yeah.

1:04:34 Speaker 26: But it wasn't until much later that I kind of challenged myself to think, wait, I think I could create stuff on the piano as well. So, yeah, I do. I do both. And sometimes I don't write on an instrument at all. I just I lyrics and melody comes first, and I do I'll write like a whole song with no instrument and then add things later.

1:04:53 Speaker 11: Yeah, I've heard a lot of a lot of instructors say that it's it's a good idea to learn at least no matter what instrument you're playing, to learn at least some basic keyboarding because it will help you with everything else, which sadly, I never bothered to do. I had. I had one of those old, cheap Cassio keyboards growing up, but I never really learned to play it. But yeah, but what do you play anything else? You play guitar, you play piano, do you play anything else?

1:05:19 Speaker 26: Or every now and then, if someone lets me, I'll play kahone really yeah, yeah, like on one of their songs or something. But just I don't. I haven't done anything technical with it. I have my dad has a bass guitar that he was learning how to play, and I've picked that up a couple of times and fiddled around with it. It's an instrument i'd like to learn. I just haven't dedicated enough time to it.

1:05:43 Speaker 11: Yeah, you can pick it up quick, I mean, if you're already played guitar, you can pick up the bass pretty quick.

1:05:47 Speaker 26: Yeah, It's it makes sense because it's sprets and I tried to learn violin when I was younger, and I also attempted the saxophone both. I thought I was doing pretty good, but I think my family didn't agree, right.

1:06:01 Speaker 11: Right, saxophones loud instrument, Yeah, no, they're so.

1:06:05 Speaker 26: Super supportive, but I think there are some instruments that, like, if it's not coming quickly and naturally, might be more painful to listen.

1:06:12 Speaker 11: To them, right, No, that makes sense, that makes sense.

1:06:15 Speaker 26: Yeah, yeah, But I love the violin. I wish that I had fully learned it because it's just so beautiful.

1:06:21 Speaker 11: Yeah.

1:06:21 Speaker 10: Yeah.

1:06:22 Speaker 11: Now do you have a busy summer? Are you playing a lot? I would imagine you're playing out there.

1:06:25 Speaker 26: Yeah, yeah, And I have some things I'm excited about. I I record with other instrumentalists and singers, like most of my music is recorded with a band and kind of bringing out that fuller production. But normally when I perform, I'm pretty much always solo. I haven't really done band shows since, you know, my different album release shows that I did years ago, and a couple other kind of special things. But this summer I have a full band show coming up at Bank in New Hampshire Pavilion on their side stage.

1:06:58 Speaker 26: Oh wow, So that'll be fun to bring the fullness back together again and perform with other people. And then I don't know if you know Chris Noise. He's a bass player. He played on these new singles on Wild and.

1:07:11 Speaker 11: I don't think I know Chris. Is he related to Ron Noise?

1:07:14 Speaker 26: I don't know, because.

1:07:15 Speaker 11: Ron's a musician, I wonder if they're related. No, I don't think I know Chris.

1:07:19 Speaker 26: So he played bass on some of my studio tracks. And he's playing with me up in Portsmouth at the Tuesdays on the Terrace at Strawberry Bank Museum.

1:07:27 Speaker 11: Oh cool.

1:07:28 Speaker 26: So we've got that and a couple other kind of fun outdoor summer shows where I'm playing with him and another guy on drums. So yeah, it'll be fun to play with other people again and bring the songs to life in a different way.

1:07:41 Speaker 11: Yeah, but it doesn't sound like you have any any interest in doing like a permanent full band.

1:07:46 Speaker 26: We'll see see where things go. I'm never Before we went live on air, you guys were saying, like we go.

1:07:53 Speaker 15: With the flow.

1:07:54 Speaker 26: Like I'm not really married to anything. It's kind of how I feel.

1:07:57 Speaker 17: I don't know.

1:07:58 Speaker 26: I have I have hopes, but I don't have like necessarily set in stone expectations that I want or don't want. So if it came together naturally and it was like really fun and everybody totally gibed, I could see doing.

1:08:11 Speaker 11: More of it for sure. Yeah, no, that makes sense. And are you still are you still just putting out singles or do you have an EP or I don't.

1:08:19 Speaker 26: I was just shy of an EP when I recorded my four songs. I mean, I suppose I could have turned it into a collection. I've thought about adding some songs and making it a full collection. I'm not there yet, I haven't. I actually have one kind of wintery song, not to bring snow back up on. I have one song that I'm working on recording. It's kind of a mix of I recorded some of it at home and some of it at Mike Moran's home studio. He is a drummer and a bass player and a guitarist, and we've played together a lot in the past, and we have some stuff coming up this summer, so we've been working on producing that song together.

1:09:00 Speaker 26: So and then I have some other ideas, but nothing no like exciting release dates to share.

1:09:07 Speaker 11: Yeah. Right now, You've worked with a number of different producers, right, it seems like you've.

1:09:11 Speaker 26: Yeah, every project has been totally different. First record I recorded in New Hampshire with Ryan Ordway and then yeah, yeah and that was really fun. And then my second record I recorded on the South Shore in mass with Sean McLoughlin. And then this last collection I did with Brian Coombs at Rocking Horror Studios in Pittsfield. And then I've done a little bit tried to do a little bit of home recording too and kind of feeling that out. But it is a lot of work to record your own stuff. I mean, it's a lot of work to go to the studio too, but oh yeah, you have other hands and eyes and ears on it, and they know what they're doing more than like I'm sort of learning as I go.

1:09:50 Speaker 26: But it's fun. I like that part of it too.

1:09:52 Speaker 11: Oh yeah, yeah, let's the adventure of it.

1:09:54 Speaker 8: Yeah.

1:09:54 Speaker 11: Do you want to play something for us?

1:09:56 Speaker 15: Yeah?

1:09:56 Speaker 11: Sure, let me turn up that. Yeah, go and god and strum a little. Just want to make sure I get there. Oh yeah, that sounds good. Badphones, yeah, excellent?

1:10:09 Speaker 26: All right, cool, I'm gonna play a brand new one for you if that's okay. Absolutely, so I've been trying to challenge myself. I think I mentioned this to you last time I saw you challenge myself to make time for songwriting, which sounds like, well, duh, you're a songwriter, right, is that all you do? But sometimes the weeks just go by and I'm like, oh my gosh, like my creative need is just like being squished down. And so I've been trying to bring that more to the forefront. So in trying to write more songs, which if anyone's listening, I would like to follow along on my new songwriting journey.

1:10:45 Speaker 26: I've been sharing things, all the new stuff on Patreon, which is like a place online that you can support artists, and patreon dot com slash Katie Doobbins music. But this is one of the ones that I wrote for my almost song a Week project, not quite a song a week, but it's called Coffee in the Morning, and it's about how when you fall in love and suddenly you're liking things and doing things that you never really cared about before, just because of that other person.

1:11:15 Speaker 23: You know, is it that wrangler or your rugged hands in my is it that open road or the smell.

1:11:33 Speaker 2: Of your cologne?

1:11:36 Speaker 23: Do I even like the challenge of a standard. It's just the way you laugh every time I stall it.

1:11:51 Speaker 23: I don't even know if I like coffee in the morning. Maybe that's just something out the way you pull it for me as the soul lights up the kitchen. We're too early for my liking, but I like having that quiet time with you. Is it that country song or the way you sing it for me?

1:12:24 Speaker 26: Is it that dance floor or.

1:12:25 Speaker 23: The way you pull me clothes? Do I even like staying up past midnight? Or just the way you hold my handwalking in me home. I don't even know if I should like that whiskey bourbon. Maybe there's just something about the taste of it on your lips as the moon lights.

1:12:58 Speaker 2: Up the kitchen.

1:13:00 Speaker 23: Too late for my liking, but I like talking into the night with you. I don't even know if I like bike rides, game night, using.

1:13:17 Speaker 15: Fireflies in a jar. I don't think I haven't need to go.

1:13:26 Speaker 23: Fishing or stay all night chasing stars unless it's where you are, unless it's.

1:13:39 Speaker 15: When you.

1:13:49 Speaker 23: Because I don't even know if I like coffee in the morning. Maybe there's just something in about the way poor informed me is the swing lights up the kitchen way too early for my liking.

1:14:08 Speaker 26: But I like Kevin, that quiet time with you.

1:14:18 Speaker 23: I don't even know if I like coffee in the morning, but I know how really like.

1:14:30 Speaker 15: The way you poor it for me.

1:14:39 Speaker 11: Oh that's beautiful, Thank you, very nice, very nice. So that's uh so that's new. That's that's very new then, right?

1:14:48 Speaker 26: Yeah, I reade that a couple of months ago.

1:14:50 Speaker 11: Now, very cool, very cool. If you're just joining us. Katie Dobbins is here with us, alive in studio and sounding amazing. So so you have are you playing that one out curly or is that or have you not?

1:15:03 Speaker 2: Yeah?

1:15:04 Speaker 26: I played it a couple of times at live shows. I think that was the radio debut.

1:15:08 Speaker 11: Okay, awesome, We Love That, We Love the We Love the World premieres here. Do you have any idea how many songs you've written at this point? Can you put in like like like is it in triple digits yet?

1:15:20 Speaker 4: Do you think?

1:15:20 Speaker 9: Or?

1:15:21 Speaker 15: Oh?

1:15:22 Speaker 26: I mean it probably depends on if I want to count every song I've ever written, probably yes, But if I just count the ones that I like, yeah, I'm not sure.

1:15:34 Speaker 11: Yeah. Do they? Do you have some that you've kind of retired, Like, are there some early ones that used to play that you don't play anymore?

1:15:40 Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean I I play the stuff from my first album still. I play several of those songs out yea, not all of them. And then there are some, yeah, the some originals that I used to play, Like when you first write it and you're like, I really love this song because you wrote you just wrote it, so you're right and real, like passionate and emotional about it because you know it just came from.

1:16:04 Speaker 11: Your Yeah, it's most being.

1:16:06 Speaker 26: And yeah, So I had some like that I felt really excited about in the moment, and then kind of down the road was that sort of faded, you know, and they really got their full full moment in the sun, I guess.

1:16:19 Speaker 7: Yeah.

1:16:19 Speaker 11: Yeah, I've probably asked you this before, but do you remember the first song you ever wrote?

1:16:25 Speaker 26: The first song I wrote was a co write. Well, the first song I wrote was actually a cappella in like fifth grade, and I wrote it my best friend had moved to California and I was so sad, and so I wrote this song about you know. I think it was called best Friend. The first song I ever wrote on guitar was a co write. My friend Sarah Ellen had taught me a few chords on guitar and she had been writing songs, so we're like, let's write a song together. And we wrote a song about our grandfather's But if you asked me to play it, I truly don't remember how it goes.

1:16:58 Speaker 2: Yeah.

1:16:59 Speaker 26: I remember thinking it was really good. I was so you know, we were so excited about it, and we played it at some open mics and things like that, which is like really really fun. Yeah, you know, you're in eighth grade on stage playing a duet that you wrote and you just feel like a rock star.

1:17:14 Speaker 8: Yeah.

1:17:15 Speaker 11: Yeah, Now have you you've been doing this full time now for quite some time?

1:17:19 Speaker 26: Right, a few years now?

1:17:21 Speaker 23: Yeah.

1:17:22 Speaker 26: I think I made the shift to full time in like spring of twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two, okay, Yeah, And it took took a while to find my stride and still kind of, you know, figuring out balance. I feel like I talk about balance a lot, but it's hard, Like you wear so many hats when you're oh yeah, music is a it's not just songwriting and performing, but you're I think of it as like you're running your own business. You know, you're booking, you're promoting, you're trying to make money, you're doing you know, recording all this stuff.

1:17:51 Speaker 26: Yeah, and so finding balance and a good rhythm is something I feel like I'm always like working on getting a little more honed in. But it's fun. I love it, and since making the decision to do it full time, I've never regretted it at all. But I will say it's not for everyone because I feel like whenever I tell another artist, oh, yeah, I do it full time, because they'll ask what do you do during the day, And I feel like a lot of times people say, oh, like I want to do that too. I'm just I'm trying to get there, and almost from a place of like they feel like they're not doing it yet if they're not doing it full time or something, and it's like you really have to assess.

1:18:31 Speaker 26: I mean, it's it's it adds a sort of you have to really want to do it full time and know that there's going to be a period of like hardship that comes with that, and be okay with that. And also there's nothing wrong with having, you know, a job that you're good at or that you like that you know funds funds what you love too, and it gives you that like consistency. So I love doing it how I'm doing it, But I don't think it's for everybody. So when I say that, if you're an artist listening, don't feel pressured to like I need to do that too, You don't, you know, everybody does this so differently.

1:19:06 Speaker 11: So yeah, and I think too, you know, if you you can still call yourself a professional musician even if you're doing it part time. You know, the way I've always looked at it is, and really with any profession, you can call yourself a professional if you've ever been paid for what you do. True, That's how I look at it. So even if even if you you know, you've just gotten you know, thirty dollars you know, playing a set somewhere, well, you're now a professional musician. If somebody somebody gave you money, you know, for that, then you're now a professional.

1:19:35 Speaker 11: And you know, I think I think sometimes, yeah, I think sometimes people get self conscious about it, you know, if they're if they're doing it part time, you know, but they're still working at something else. But but I think too, part of the key is and you kind of alluded to it. If you have if you have another job that you really love, then you know, because the important thing is to fill your life, I think with things that you love to do, you know, whether it's part time, full time time, whether you're a full time musician or a part time musician and full time doing something else, or whatever it is.

1:20:05 Speaker 11: You know, don't you don't want to no matter what. You don't want to waste your life doing things you hate, which is what a lot of people do. You know, They work their whole lives at a job they don't like, and it's like, why find something you love?

1:20:19 Speaker 4: You know?

1:20:19 Speaker 26: You know definitely.

1:20:20 Speaker 11: Now, do you have any advice for people who are you know, because a lot of musicians listen to the show and a lot of industry people. Do you have any advice for someone who is really thinking about trying to do this full time but they're hesitant?

1:20:34 Speaker 26: Yeah, I would talk to people who are doing it full time. Yeah, that's what I did. I talked to several people that were doing it full time and I was like, what is this really like for you? How is this working? And I found out that most people that are doing it full time that you know, they are getting support in some way loved ones, or they're sacrificing something, you know, like my Manny Pattic cares I used to be able to get for myself on I mean, that's a tiny sacrifice. I'm part kidding, but yeah, you know, you said you might sacrifice like some kind of lifestyle that you're used to in order to pursue this, And I just I would talk to somebody who's doing it, or multiple people that are doing it, just to get like a full picture of what this actually is before you, you know, just put the pedal to the metal and you know, give up everything you know and and go in blindly.

1:21:25 Speaker 26: So that because it always sounds like such a dream, you know, but you really want to make an informed decision about and ask yourself, is this really what I want to do?

1:21:36 Speaker 11: Right? And nothing's as glamorous as it looks from the outside either, you know, And as you also mentioned, there's a lot of work. You know, it's not just creating music, it's it's all the business stuff you got to do, right, and keeping up with social media too, which some people enjoy and embrace and some people are just like I wish I didn't have to do that part. But you do have to do that part, yep.

1:21:55 Speaker 26: And I feel like it ebbs and flows too, like I have and I we used to get harder on myself, and I'm accepting this more and more. Like there are seasons where I'm doing a lot more stuff online social media, you know, posting videos, things like that, and then there are seasons where I'm playing out a lot more so I don't have as much time to be present online. Then there are seasons where, oh it's a slower show season, so I'm songwriting or I'm in the studio. And I think at first I felt like I have to do all these things all the time, you know, like and I still feel that a little bit, but it's like being okay with the ebb and flow of what it means to be an art maker and performer, like distributor of that art.

1:22:37 Speaker 26: There's just you can't always do it all all the time or you totally burn out, right.

1:22:43 Speaker 11: Right, Yeah, no doubt. Oh do you want to play another one for us?

1:22:46 Speaker 26: Yeah, I'll play giants since you told me like this one do.

1:22:52 Speaker 15: Yeah.

1:22:52 Speaker 11: So the first time I heard that was on Rob Show. That was the first time i'd heard that song, and yeah, I love this song. Yeah cool absolutely Haitie Dobbins live in studio.

1:23:03 Speaker 26: I feel like this is a good song to play right now too, because it's about doing things that feel hard and facing the things that feel impossible in your life and remembering that you are actually more powerful than you may realize. And the giants in your life they're just make believe, like those giants in your closet when you're a little kid.

1:23:40 Speaker 23: Your sweatshirt falling off my should it's too big. But then again, it onlys was when did I become so small? Living in your shadow? I don't fill the space. Ah, feel like I've been swallowed. Don't take too much space, my mind said, shrink, So I don't riskiny thing bader to be safe then to be sorry.

1:27:52 Speaker 23: Believe.

1:28:00 Speaker 11: I love it, Katie Dobbins live in Studio. Yeah, that is a great, great song.

1:28:05 Speaker 17: I love it.

1:28:06 Speaker 11: Great song, great song that one's been out for a little while, right, But that is that is that kind of newer Yeah, that's.

1:28:12 Speaker 26: Like in my newer collection of singles recorded at Rocking Horse. Okay, okay, and that when I actually started writing on the electric guitar. Okay, yeah, I have an electric guitar. I just I don't play it out. I would like to learn how to do cool stuff on it. Yeah yeah, yeah, but yeah, I kind of had like a little riff going, and then I moved to acoustic guitar, and then I was like, no, this is a piano song.

1:28:38 Speaker 11: So oh okay. Have you have you played electric guitar on any of your studio recordings so far?

1:28:45 Speaker 26: No other people have played my guitar.

1:28:47 Speaker 11: Yeah, it's in there.

1:28:50 Speaker 2: Yeah.

1:28:50 Speaker 26: Yeah, actually that's not true. I recorded I have a single called Starlights that I recorded during the pandemic in my home studio that I actually did do my own little electric guitar riff on.

1:29:05 Speaker 11: Oh really Yeah, you want.

1:29:06 Speaker 26: To check out my electric guitar playing. You can check out Starlights.

1:29:12 Speaker 11: Oh okay, okay, very cool, very cool. When you when you play out, I mean you must do some covers too, right, I assume you make some covers in yeah.

1:29:21 Speaker 26: Yeah, And it depends on the show. Yeah, if I'm doing like a three hour gig, for sure.

1:29:25 Speaker 10: Yeah.

1:29:25 Speaker 26: And then I have I have a bunch of shows coming out this summer that are like focused on original music that I'm really excited about. Yeah, but even when I do that, I'll throw in, you know, one or two just people kind of like something familiar, you know, and it's fun. It's fun to I always think, like, how cool it must be to be Taylor Swift or something and you look out and everyone's singing every lyric to your song, right, But that's that's fun about covers, is you know. Sometimes I'll transition into a cover song from an original.

1:29:53 Speaker 26: It's just fun to look out and see people bopping around and singing along with you, and yeah, fun moment.

1:29:59 Speaker 1: Do you have?

1:30:00 Speaker 11: Do you do any covers that you found particularly challenging to learn? Sometimes I get some surprising answers when I ask people this. I'm just curious, like is there anything you said I'm going to learn that one? And then it turned out to be kind of challenging.

1:30:12 Speaker 26: I don't think so, But I don't learn traditionally, Like if I'm learning a new cover, I sort of just will look up the chords and then play it however feels good to me. Whereas some people are which would be good for me to do. Some people are going on you know YouTube and like watching a bunch of videos and learning how the actual original artist plays it.

1:30:33 Speaker 11: Sure.

1:30:35 Speaker 26: I sometimes when I learn to cover, I don't even know the song that well, like I'll kind of know it, and then I feel like it makes it easier to put my own twists on it because my kind of I'm learning it, but also like making it feel good to me because I only kind of know the song.

1:30:52 Speaker 11: No, I'm at school, they'll make it your own.

1:30:54 Speaker 12: Yeah.

1:30:54 Speaker 26: Yeah, But I I did learn Forever Young as a song I love playing by Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell has a version of that song. I'm sorry. Joan Bias has a version of that song that's really beautiful, and so I did learn her guitar version to it, and it was a really pretty like I felt really fancy when I learned to this, you know, yeah, and it's really pretty. Yeah, So that one I did learn traditionally because I was like, that's just so beautiful.

1:31:26 Speaker 11: I got to learn that part that makes sense, that makes sense. You want to play another live one? I yeah, we got we got time.

1:31:36 Speaker 17: Yeah.

1:31:37 Speaker 11: Selfishly, I want to hear more. You just sound so great.

1:31:39 Speaker 26: Ah, that's so nice. I want to hear another new newer one.

1:31:42 Speaker 11: Yeah, that would be cool, that would be great.

1:31:44 Speaker 26: I have a I have a single out. My newest single is called Grateful, and it's about gratitude. Yeah shocker uh. And so I'm not going to play that, but I will play another song that's sort of on the same theme. I feel like it's called miss these days, because you know, today or someday we're gonna be like that was the good old days. So you gotta soak it in.

1:32:09 Speaker 23: Yep, Mama's calling from the kitchen on the other side of the house. I can't hear what she's saying. I just chuckle to myself, and the dog is going crazy about a squirrel outside the window, and Daddy's watching news about what God only knows. It's a little bit of chaos on a quiet country road, in a humble, old brick house where we made ourselves a home. I don't know what tomorrow brings. I'm not sure of much, but I'm sure someday I'm gonna miss these days. I'm sure some day I'm gonna.

I'm heading down the long road on the way to another show, running on prayers and Kathene will being my sons to touch your souls. And the car is packed so high I can't see out my back window. I'm following my dreams, and now some guy who's going so slow. I got a little bit of road rage on a quiet country road in a humble old Volkswagon where I made myself a home. I don't know what tomorrow brings. I'm not sure of much, but I'm sure someday I'm gonna miss beads days.

1:34:38 Speaker 23: I'm sure some day I'm gonna miss beads day.

Eric and Pallamini, also known as Temple Mountain. He's been on the show a few times now. He says Katie is the best, so glad her name spells Katie with a K and not with a G.

1:37:33 Speaker 26: Not a G me too. Hey, Eric, thanks for tuning in.

Good morning, and Rob Dyon, who else to show here through the stage door, is part of the WM and H family. He said, I'm heading to a gig right now, but I just wanted to say Matt that the musicians you have on this morning really are amazing, very good, very good.

1:38:13 Speaker 15: Yes, so nice.

1:38:14 Speaker 11: Thanks absolutely so, Katie. What do you have this weekend? Do you have shows this weekend?

1:38:19 Speaker 26: Actually don't. I have a kind of a quiet weekend, which I'm very excited about. After I leave here today, I'm gonna head over to hang out with Chris Noise the Bassis. We're gonna do some practice in for our gig at Strawberry Bank later this month.

1:38:33 Speaker 11: Yeah, and then I do.

1:38:35 Speaker 26: I'm part of I sing at my church, which meets on top of a mountain on Sunday morning, So tomorrow I'll be hik into that and doing that whole thing up at Gunstock Mountain. But other than that, my weekend's pretty quiet and I've been very much on the go lately. I just got back two weeks ago from my first solo road trip tour down to Nashville, Tennessee. I was gone for a week and a half and I didn't really plan and transition time before or after the trip. I just said, I was like, yeah, I'll just like keep going one hundred miles an hour right up to it, and then I'll just come back and get right in the swing of things.

1:39:10 Speaker 26: So I'm definitely feeling the effects of that a little bit.

1:39:13 Speaker 15: Yeah, no doubt.

1:39:13 Speaker 26: So I'm kind of happy to have a quiet weekend and then things will pick up. I have shows next week. On Wednesday, I'm in Portsmouth, and then Thursday I have a cool I'm hosting a touring artist at hermit Wood's Winery in Meredith, New Hampshire. It's a listening room up there, so if you're up in the Lakes region or heading up that way, come hang out Thursday night, and then I got shows like all weekend, so it'll be a nice little break leading into that.

1:39:38 Speaker 11: Excellent, excellent. How was your trip to Nashville?

1:39:41 Speaker 26: It was awesome. Yeah, it was there. You know, I felt like I was just really craving a different perspective and just being completely immersed in original music and just like seeing new people. And I've also been wanting to plan a little road trip toward in Nashville for a few years now, but I kept kind of coming up against some roadblocks and it just didn't felt. I never like it when it feels like I'm forcing something and it feels like, Okay, maybe this is not the right timing. So this finally came together in a really great way and I was able to do it, and I was down there for I was in I played a show in West Virginia on my way down and stayed with some friends, which was awesome, and then I was in Nashville for seven full days and I played almost every night that I was there.

1:40:31 Speaker 26: I had one or two writers round, so it was like I just met so many songwriters and you get to hear them because when you're playing a writer's round, you know, you play a little bit, and then you also get to hear like three other people playing in the round, and so it was very inspiring. And it's just so it fills your cup and inspires you to like be reminded. Oh yeah, there's so many people doing this and doing it you know successfully, and I just I And I also it's humbling. I left feeling like, yeah, I got to get better, keep writing, you know, which is what kind of the kick in the butt that I wanted.

1:41:05 Speaker 26: So yeah, it was great.

1:41:06 Speaker 11: Yeah that's pressure. Yeah Nashville, Yeah, absolutely, no, it will well that's very cool. Yeah, that's very cool.

1:41:12 Speaker 14: Yeah.

1:41:13 Speaker 26: It scratched the itch for touring too. I'm like, yeah, let's get on the row.

1:41:16 Speaker 15: Let's go.

1:41:17 Speaker 26: I mean, I mean being a musician.

1:41:19 Speaker 6: I know.

1:41:19 Speaker 26: I talked about the hardships of doing it full time and stuff, but part of the reason I initially wanted to do it full time was well, I was just so hungry to do it, and I was like, if I don't try this, I'll never know if I could have made it happen, you know.

1:41:32 Speaker 12: So I just had to do it.

1:41:33 Speaker 26: And part of it was I wanted to do touring, which I really am just kind of dipping my toe into, at least beyond New England. I play all over New England. But I wanted to do more touring, and that's hard to do when you have a set work schedule. I was teaching, so oh yeah, you know, it's kind of hard to tour when you need to be in the classroom. So I that was part of what I wanted to do. So I'm kind of now just starting to be like, Okay, what how can this look and how it citing to think of, Wow, I could actually go travel to places and see different places around the country and play music doing it, you know, I mean that's pretty that's pretty sick.

1:42:09 Speaker 3: Yeah.

1:42:09 Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely. Do you ever miss teaching or I mean, I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure you miss.

1:42:14 Speaker 26: Any of my old students are listening so much. I did love teaching, I really did. I really did. But I have to say it was the right decision.

1:42:24 Speaker 2: Yeah.

1:42:24 Speaker 26: Yeah, I have never I've never felt like the desire to go back to teaching.

1:42:32 Speaker 36: Yeah.

1:42:32 Speaker 26: I think that it was really really good for the time. You know, it was a good a good season. I learned a lot and there's actually weirdly a lot of overlap between managing a classroom and managing your business and also like teaching, standing in front of a class, teaching and engaging students, and also performing on stage and engaging an audience. It's weirdly similar. So like, I'm very, very grateful for my teaching.

1:42:56 Speaker 11: Oh yeah, no, that makes sense. Yeah, that totally makes sense. You ever hear from any of your students who have followed your your music career.

1:43:03 Speaker 26: So they some of them do follow me in you know, social media, and they'll like like a post. And I have a student who will sometimes come when I play in Massachusetts. He'll come sometimes come to my shows, which is always really fun.

1:43:14 Speaker 11: That's cool. That's very cool. Yeah, yeah, that's excellent. Well, so we uh will begin to wrap up in a moment, but we'll probably play studio track.

1:43:26 Speaker 26: Whoops, I knew that was coming.

1:43:29 Speaker 17: It's usually me so thank you.

1:43:32 Speaker 11: Jenny and I are both clutches, so where the last people will ever judge you for dropping.

1:43:37 Speaker 17: Something to hold onto anything for two days?

1:43:41 Speaker 26: Lately, I feel like my clumsiness is getting worse and it might just be the like I said, the aftermaths of the trip and not planning enough time to transition.

1:43:49 Speaker 17: To blame it on the humidity week. Maybe it's just you know, yeah, it got to us problem.

1:43:53 Speaker 26: I am actually writing a song. It's like, well, I only have this so far.

1:43:58 Speaker 23: It's like I can a little clumsy, chipping over my own two feet.

1:44:03 Speaker 26: People think I'm funny, but I'm just trying to get by.

1:44:08 Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm a little.

1:44:09 Speaker 26: Clumsy something something.

1:44:11 Speaker 23: But the clumsiest thing that I ever did.

1:44:15 Speaker 26: Was falling for you.

1:44:18 Speaker 2: For you, I.

1:44:21 Speaker 15: Wait to hear it.

1:44:26 Speaker 11: There you go?

1:44:27 Speaker 2: Cool?

1:44:28 Speaker 11: What what what should we play to close the show? What's a studio track we should play?

1:44:33 Speaker 26: Either just because I can or Grateful? Depends if you want to play like a rocker track or a dreamy grateful track.

1:44:39 Speaker 11: Was Grateful the one that you said had some of your electric guitar playing in it.

1:44:42 Speaker 26: No, I don't think you have that song. I don't know if I ever sent that. Well, it's called Starlights. That was the one I recorded entirely in my home studio. I don't know if you have that one.

1:44:53 Speaker 11: Is it online? It is, because if it's online, I can find it.

1:44:57 Speaker 26: Oh, I found it okay, and now people in the comments can tell you what they think of this was. This was before I even had logic pro. I produced this on Oh was it garage band?
