5:14 Speaker 8: for that.

5:17 Speaker 9: Ah you know what that's That's all that means is

5:20 Speaker 9: I took the right name.

5:21 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean.

5:22 Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, I remember you saying before on the show,

5:25 Speaker 8: because I think the last time you were on you

5:27 Speaker 8: you were not wedded yet. No, you were engaged, yeh,

5:30 Speaker 8: but but you would talked about that, how you were

5:33 Speaker 8: going to take her last name, which is unusual in

5:35 Speaker 8: our in our culture. But you you didn't really like

5:39 Speaker 8: your name.

5:39 Speaker 9: No, and I liked I know how much she liked

5:42 Speaker 9: her name. Yeah, and uh oh it just felt right. Yeah,

5:46 Speaker 9: I felt right. And technically I'm still I'm not I'm

5:50 Speaker 9: techly handings now, but I'm technically in Polmonte still, I

5:52 Speaker 9: have my We were just on our honeymoon and I

5:54 Speaker 9: didn't want to have to deal with changing my name

5:57 Speaker 9: and then the passport stuff.

5:58 Speaker 8: Oh yeah yeah.

6:00 Speaker 9: So we ended up going I have my appointment with

6:04 Speaker 9: the Social Security this Monday. Okay, that's the first step. Okay, yeah, yeah.

6:09 Speaker 8: Is that a is it a hassle? It must be.

6:12 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, well when you get married, it's not.

6:18 Speaker 9: So it's on my document. It's on my marriage certificate.

6:22 Speaker 9: So at least I have that as proof for change. Okay,

6:25 Speaker 9: but then I have to do Social Security, and then

6:26 Speaker 9: I have to do my driver's license, and then from

6:28 Speaker 9: what I've understood, I have to do my bank accounts.

6:30 Speaker 9: And that's actually where it's like the most pain in the.

6:32 Speaker 8: Butt, is it.

6:33 Speaker 2: Yeah?

6:34 Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, and now you have to prove so much more.

6:39 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a little harder.

6:41 Speaker 9: But you know it's worth it.

6:42 Speaker 5: Yeah.

6:42 Speaker 8: Well there you go.

6:43 Speaker 7: Well I don't blame you.

6:44 Speaker 8: I don't blame you.

6:45 Speaker 9: Yeah, thank you.

6:49 Speaker 8: So we should talk about so the new EP dress sharp.

6:52 Speaker 8: Yeah this this is really new, right, this just came out,

6:55 Speaker 8: came out on New Year's Eve. Oh so this this

6:57 Speaker 8: is as new as a guest.

6:58 Speaker 9: Oh yeah it was, you know, only twenty five was

7:02 Speaker 9: literally the best year of my life. Yeah, no, I

7:04 Speaker 9: normally don't say that, but it was just I mean,

7:07 Speaker 9: I saw both Paul Simon and Paul McCartney in one year, Like, yeah,

7:11 Speaker 9: you can't really get much better than that. Yeah, but

7:14 Speaker 9: so I just wanted to end the year on a

7:15 Speaker 9: high note. And this is an album I was working

7:17 Speaker 9: with with a producer. His name's Andrew Morrissey, OK, and

7:20 Speaker 9: I've it was something that I always wanted to try

7:23 Speaker 9: and go out of my comfort zone, especially compared to

7:26 Speaker 9: my last album, which was much more of a low

7:28 Speaker 9: fi kind of organic produced album. This is kind of

7:34 Speaker 9: the exact opposite where it's like, how how much layer

7:37 Speaker 9: can we add to it? How much gloss can we

7:39 Speaker 9: put on the song? I'm really proud of it, to

7:42 Speaker 9: be honest with you.

7:43 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, no, I love that song all the times.

7:46 Speaker 8: It's kind of you know, it's pop, but it's like

7:48 Speaker 8: it's like alternative pop. It's like you know, yeah, it's

7:53 Speaker 8: it's it's interesting. It's a surprise, first of all because

7:57 Speaker 8: when I when I played it the first time, I

7:59 Speaker 8: was like, oh, this is different for him. But also

8:03 Speaker 8: this is really interesting. The production is really interesting, and

8:05 Speaker 8: I did want to ask you about that especially. I

8:07 Speaker 8: love I love what happens when the guitar comes in

8:09 Speaker 8: at the end the solo.

8:11 Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, yeah, I had you know. There was a

8:13 Speaker 9: while where I was purchasing from Manchester Music Mill sponsor

8:17 Speaker 9: and not sponsored. I was really getting like a bunch

8:20 Speaker 9: of used here. And I had this less Paul with

8:22 Speaker 9: Demarcio pickups that I don't have anymore. And what's funny

8:26 Speaker 9: is the guitar actually had a malfunction on it, like

8:29 Speaker 9: there was some circuit or ground that wasn't attached to it, right, Yeah,

8:32 Speaker 9: So it just had this weird trebly in and out

8:35 Speaker 9: kind of sound, and I just I stacked it with

8:38 Speaker 9: some uh, I forget what overdrive I used, but I

8:43 Speaker 9: just I had this marshal and overdrive and we cranked

8:45 Speaker 9: it up in the studio. Yeah, and I just kind

8:47 Speaker 9: of played a guitar solo over and that's what you hear.

8:50 Speaker 9: That's why that huge feedbacks.

8:51 Speaker 8: At the end.

8:52 Speaker 9: It was so it was just so loud. The other

8:55 Speaker 9: thing I'll say about that song is it was actually

8:58 Speaker 9: I wrote it because I I have an obsession with

9:01 Speaker 9: like Eurodrans tracks from the early two thousands really, yeah,

9:04 Speaker 9: like a Scatta's every time we touch and stuff like that,

9:07 Speaker 9: and I was like, I want to write a song

9:09 Speaker 9: like that on the acoustic guitar. And that's what we were,

9:13 Speaker 9: you know, I don't know if we necessarily got there yeah,

9:15 Speaker 9: but that was what your initial inspiration was.

9:18 Speaker 8: Okay, Okay, is that is that the case with all

9:21 Speaker 8: these on the EP? You you write them on the

9:23 Speaker 8: on the guitar first.

9:24 Speaker 9: Sure they're all they're all on guitar first. Okay, I can't.

9:27 Speaker 9: I wouldn't. I wouldn't do it otherwise. So the way

9:29 Speaker 9: that worked was I would send him Andrew the songs

9:33 Speaker 9: and then he would kind of layer it with production.

9:36 Speaker 9: Then I would go in one day and we would

9:38 Speaker 9: do vocal layers together and create all these kind of

9:40 Speaker 9: stacks on them.

9:41 Speaker 8: Okay.

9:42 Speaker 9: So it was a real collaboration, and uh, it was

9:45 Speaker 9: a It's a beautiful rapport and relationship that I'm so

9:48 Speaker 9: grateful to have. So shout out to Andrew. He's an

9:50 Speaker 9: amazing man.

9:51 Speaker 8: Yeah. No, he did did a great job. Now how

9:53 Speaker 8: did you connect with him? As far as I'm producing

9:55 Speaker 8: the EP?

9:56 Speaker 7: Uh?

9:56 Speaker 9: I think I posted on Facebook saying like I'm looking

9:59 Speaker 9: for and then Dan Fallon. I don't know if you

10:02 Speaker 9: know that name. Great man. He he's Andrews Dan drummer.

10:08 Speaker 9: Andrew's a multi instrumentalist, the guy. Okay, I can play

10:11 Speaker 9: drums like. He's so talented that everything he does and

10:14 Speaker 9: I sent him a song, the first song that we recorded,

10:16 Speaker 9: which is called the Crowd, and I wanted like a

10:20 Speaker 9: no Such Thing by John Mayer kind of song, and

10:23 Speaker 9: it in my opinion.

10:24 Speaker 8: And yeah, yeah, Dan Fallon he's been oh run like

10:28 Speaker 8: thieves yeaheah. They were on the show. Yeah, and Jenny

10:31 Speaker 8: and I went to see them live too. Yeah, really

10:33 Speaker 8: really good?

10:33 Speaker 9: Was that at the BNH stage? Yes, yeah, I missed

10:36 Speaker 9: that show unfortunately, but I really I'm a huge fan

10:39 Speaker 9: of Dan.

10:39 Speaker 8: So yeah, yeah, all very talented. Yeah, yeah absolutely. And

10:44 Speaker 8: then why why an EP? Because Schema was your previous

10:47 Speaker 8: release was a full album, so why now? Why the

10:50 Speaker 8: choice to do an EP this time? I'm always curious

10:52 Speaker 8: about because there's so many different ways to approach it now.

10:54 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just cost Yeah. In fact, if I've the

10:58 Speaker 9: reason why I released it an EP and not as

11:01 Speaker 9: individual singles, it is because I was so burnt out

11:04 Speaker 9: from this year that I kind of needed to. I've

11:07 Speaker 9: been taking a break, Like I came on here as

11:10 Speaker 9: kind of like it was a spontaneous women. I was like,

11:12 Speaker 9: I can't not go it's quit. Like if the timing's

11:14 Speaker 9: just right, I had an EP release let's do this.

11:16 Speaker 10: Yeah.

11:17 Speaker 9: Yeah, but the truth is is like I haven't been

11:20 Speaker 9: really very musically pushed okay lately. Yeah, And so I

11:27 Speaker 9: just wanted to release it because I knew if I

11:29 Speaker 9: didn't release it, then it would always be out there

11:31 Speaker 9: and there's like geist then I would be thinking about

11:33 Speaker 9: all the time. So yeah, decided to push it out there.

11:35 Speaker 9: And uh, but you know, the record songs with higher

11:38 Speaker 9: production means there's also a higher cost when it comes

11:41 Speaker 9: to mastering and mixing. And I don't know, like albums

11:46 Speaker 9: aren't are kind of a thing of the past, aren't they.

11:48 Speaker 9: You know, I don't know to a third degree.

11:51 Speaker 8: It depends. I mean, it's all perspective sometimes because you know,

11:57 Speaker 8: a lot of our guests a lot of them do

12:00 Speaker 8: some of them, some of them just you know, there's

12:03 Speaker 8: a sort of it's different from how I was growing up,

12:05 Speaker 8: where you know, like an album would be coming out

12:08 Speaker 8: for single goes to radio six eight weeks, and then

12:10 Speaker 8: the album comes out and if it all goes well,

12:12 Speaker 8: you might get a second single, a third single, Whereas

12:14 Speaker 8: now what a lot of artists are doing is, you know,

12:16 Speaker 8: they call it the waterfall effect. They're releasing a series

12:18 Speaker 8: of singles that eventually become an album. Yeah, it was

12:21 Speaker 8: just kind of the inversion of that. But but I

12:23 Speaker 8: don't know. Some of the guests we have, they really

12:26 Speaker 8: feel like like it has to be an album because

12:28 Speaker 8: that's what they grew up with or that's what.

12:31 Speaker 9: It's the art.

12:32 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, well.

12:33 Speaker 9: And also it's important to mention, like I think all

12:37 Speaker 9: lot of artists, including myself who have done it, we

12:39 Speaker 9: don't do the waterfall effects because that's how we want

12:43 Speaker 9: to release music. We do it because we live in

12:46 Speaker 9: a time of algorithmic pace production and apps, and that's

12:51 Speaker 9: how you can get your voice out there. And you know,

12:54 Speaker 9: when you see more than a thousand likes on your song,

12:57 Speaker 9: you get a dopamine high. Of course, of course, yeah,

13:03 Speaker 9: that's why we do it.

13:04 Speaker 8: Well, I feel like that that's probably one of the

13:06 Speaker 8: hardest things about if you're if you're someone who writes

13:10 Speaker 8: a lot of music, or if you or if you

13:11 Speaker 8: write and record music and then you want to you

13:14 Speaker 8: want to share it with the world as soon as possible, right,

13:16 Speaker 8: that's there has to be you know, there's a certain

13:18 Speaker 8: discipline when you're a when you're a musician where you

13:22 Speaker 8: have to nobody ever talks about this part. But for

13:25 Speaker 8: some reason, I've been thinking about this lately a lot

13:29 Speaker 8: where you you have to you know, you create something

13:33 Speaker 8: and and if you're proud of it, you want to

13:35 Speaker 8: share it with everybody, but you can't. You have to wait,

13:39 Speaker 8: you have to be you have to be strategic about it.

13:41 Speaker 8: I mean you don't have to be. I mean you can.

13:43 Speaker 8: You can just put whatever is you know, you can

13:45 Speaker 8: do it that way, and there's nothing wrong with that.

13:48 Speaker 8: But if you want to get the most out of it,

13:49 Speaker 8: it's like you because not only do you want people

13:52 Speaker 8: to hear it, but you want as many people as

13:53 Speaker 8: possible to hear it. You want to share it with

13:55 Speaker 8: as many people as possible, which means you do have

13:57 Speaker 8: to be strategic about it. And there is a disciplan

14:00 Speaker 8: that comes with that, you know.

14:02 Speaker 9: Yeah, And there's also an ego that comes with that,

14:05 Speaker 9: isn't there? Yeah, Because you know where is the Catharsis.

14:10 Speaker 9: It's the Catharsis in the making of the music, or

14:12 Speaker 9: is the Catharsis in the population of ears?

14:16 Speaker 8: You know, right? Right?

14:17 Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely think about that. I mean, I've been kind

14:22 Speaker 9: of transitioning. I'm almost done with grad school. So I've

14:24 Speaker 9: been transitioning into.

14:26 Speaker 8: My job of oh therapist, congratulations.

14:29 Speaker 9: And so I think about this stuff a lot now, Like, yeah,

14:33 Speaker 9: one of the reasons why I slowed down was because

14:35 Speaker 9: I had to ask myself, like, how good, how healthy

14:37 Speaker 9: is this for me to like do like three shows

14:40 Speaker 9: a week and like, yes, the crowds are so happy

14:43 Speaker 9: to giving you all this positive feedback, but it's like

14:47 Speaker 9: it's hard to explain, but there there's a structural balance

14:51 Speaker 9: that could be a little bit tricky with that, you know,

14:53 Speaker 9: especially with someone like myself who can have an ego

14:57 Speaker 9: and I mean we all do and maybe has an

15:00 Speaker 9: awareness of it and wants to keep it in check, right.

15:03 Speaker 8: Right, Yeah? Absolutely? Are you Have you been surprised at

15:09 Speaker 8: all about the end result of this, because this is

15:12 Speaker 8: a this is a departure for you the ep like

15:14 Speaker 8: going into these songs, any of these songs. Did you

15:18 Speaker 8: at the end of it, did you go, Wow, that

15:21 Speaker 8: turned out different than I I mean, I assume you

15:24 Speaker 8: were happy with how they all turned out or you

15:25 Speaker 8: wouldn't put them out, But but were you surprised at

15:28 Speaker 8: at what they turned out to be?

15:30 Speaker 9: No, I'm really proud because I think I always wanted

15:34 Speaker 9: to do music like this, like again, like kind of poppy,

15:38 Speaker 9: kind of not overproduced but very produced. Yeah, and I

15:43 Speaker 9: feel like that I always had this insecurity of I

15:48 Speaker 9: can't do this, I'm really Yeah. So I think that

15:51 Speaker 9: doing it was a real again cathartic moment, allowing myself

15:55 Speaker 9: to say, you know, you can do whatever voice you

15:58 Speaker 9: want to have in this world. Yeah, and you can

16:00 Speaker 9: talk about whatever you want. Yeah, and you could have

16:04 Speaker 9: opinions and think about these things. Yeah. I think I

16:08 Speaker 9: went into it knowing this is the sound I wanted

16:10 Speaker 9: to have, which was like a John Mayer meets Dave

16:13 Speaker 9: Matthews meets like kind of like in sync kind of thing.

16:18 Speaker 9: And you know it, I like it And if people

16:23 Speaker 9: don't like it, not that I have been getting really

16:25 Speaker 9: great positive response, yeah, but it's like I just don't

16:28 Speaker 9: care anymore.

16:29 Speaker 8: Yeah. Well that's the best way to approach it, right.

16:31 Speaker 9: I Mean it's nice though, because when you play a

16:34 Speaker 9: lot of gigs you don't feel that way. Sometimes you

16:36 Speaker 9: are basing your life on like, oh, I hope the

16:38 Speaker 9: audience likes me.

16:40 Speaker 8: Well, there is that idea too. I've heard Billy Joel

16:42 Speaker 8: say this, and I think I've heard Trent Reznor say

16:44 Speaker 8: this too in different ways, but the idea that when

16:47 Speaker 8: you're creating the music in the studio, you got to

16:49 Speaker 8: create it for yourself. You can't do it to please

16:51 Speaker 8: anybody else. You have to make music that you're passionate about.

16:54 Speaker 8: But then when you go to play live, that that's

16:58 Speaker 8: then you got to be thinking about the the other way.

17:00 Speaker 8: You gotta be thinking about what's going to make the

17:02 Speaker 8: audience happy.

17:03 Speaker 9: Yeah, and I agree with that. I think the difference

17:05 Speaker 9: between myself and those artist is when the reason why

17:09 Speaker 9: they feel that way is because people pay like three

17:11 Speaker 9: hundred dollars a ticket, right where when I'm at a bar,

17:15 Speaker 9: I mean there, I'm getting paid just to be there.

17:17 Speaker 9: So it's it's complicated my point.

17:19 Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, absolutely absolutely. But but so you always wanted

17:23 Speaker 8: to do an EP like this or or something like this.

17:26 Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, I always wanted to do it like an

17:29 Speaker 9: early two thousands pop record, No kidding, Yeah, still do.

17:32 Speaker 9: I mean I'm actually going back into the studio next month,

17:34 Speaker 9: and oh wow, yeah I want it. Uh. It's funny

17:37 Speaker 9: as I get older because and I'm not like an

17:41 Speaker 9: amazing guitar player by any means, but like I have

17:44 Speaker 9: my finesse, yeah, yeah, And I find that my writing

17:48 Speaker 9: becomes less focused on that as I get older, Like

17:51 Speaker 9: I'm much more interested in, like, how can I use

17:54 Speaker 9: the Cowboy chords in a way that's kind of new

17:56 Speaker 9: and refreshing but still like very relaxing. Yeah, to do

18:02 Speaker 9: it for me?

18:02 Speaker 8: Yeah, what's interesting about to your earlier work, you know,

18:07 Speaker 8: because we've well you've played live in Studio two, but

18:10 Speaker 8: we've also played studio tracks from Schema and and at

18:13 Speaker 8: that time you were going for that kind of lo fi,

18:16 Speaker 8: which is not easy to pull off necessarily because when

18:19 Speaker 8: you know, when we say lo fi, you know, it

18:22 Speaker 8: doesn't just mean you know, because someone who hasn't heard

18:25 Speaker 8: it might think, oh, so, what is it just demos

18:27 Speaker 8: that don't sound that great or whatever, But no, there's

18:29 Speaker 8: an art to getting that sound too, to actually doing

18:34 Speaker 8: it right. And I always thought that was you know, ambitious,

18:41 Speaker 8: you know, on your part to do that and and

18:44 Speaker 8: and the result was great, you know.

18:46 Speaker 9: You know, I always liked like artists like Elliott Smith, who, like,

18:49 Speaker 9: you know, his first three albums are very low fi,

18:51 Speaker 9: but then he did Figure eight and he did XO

18:54 Speaker 9: and those are highly produced records. Yeah, you know, I

18:58 Speaker 9: didn't want to do the same thing twice. Yeah, And

19:01 Speaker 9: I actually tried doing that. I went to a studio

19:03 Speaker 9: and I recorded. I tried to do another schema, and

19:06 Speaker 9: it just felt it. It's not that I felt ingenuine.

19:09 Speaker 9: It just felt very repetition.

19:11 Speaker 8: Really.

19:12 Speaker 9: Yeah, like I felt like, oh, I'm here before one

19:14 Speaker 9: of the things that there was a song that came

19:16 Speaker 9: out of that, which is called Stacy's Song that's on

19:18 Speaker 9: Spotify and that I'm I love that song. But yeah,

19:22 Speaker 9: I don't know. I it's like, you know, once you

19:26 Speaker 9: now that I've tasted production, it's hard to go back

19:29 Speaker 9: from it, right right, it'd be hard for me to

19:31 Speaker 9: make a lo fi album now now that I know

19:33 Speaker 9: what my voice sounds like with you know, orchestration.

19:36 Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, well we should play another track from this

19:40 Speaker 8: of course, should we play, well, we could play the

19:42 Speaker 8: next one in the EPU the crowd.

19:44 Speaker 9: Uh do you want to have about there's a song

19:46 Speaker 9: I did. You've actually had her on the show. Her

20:06 Speaker 8: So this is kat Ivy? Is she the only sort

20:10 Speaker 8: of a guest artist on the EP? Yeah?

25:44 Speaker 8: how did that come about? You're you're collaborating with her

25:46 Speaker 8: on that song?

25:47 Speaker 9: We've been We just hit it off right away.

25:50 Speaker 8: Yeah.

25:51 Speaker 9: We Where did we first meet? I have no memory

25:55 Speaker 9: of how we first met. I'm sure she does. But

25:58 Speaker 9: we did a show together there in Wilton, New Hampshire,

26:02 Speaker 9: at place called the Listening Room with Darling Hill. Yes, yes,

26:05 Speaker 9: and we just we've started. I was like I loved

26:09 Speaker 9: her voice to me, it's original and really kind of

26:14 Speaker 9: complimentary towards my own kind of style. And I asked

26:18 Speaker 9: if she would do and she said of course, and

26:20 Speaker 9: she was. She helped write it with me. We did

26:23 Speaker 9: some like webcam sessions together to kind of discuss certain arrangements,

26:29 Speaker 9: and she came to the she came to Andrew's place,

26:32 Speaker 9: and we really just banged it out and lyrically. It

26:37 Speaker 9: had to be about something that we both kind of

26:41 Speaker 9: agree with, and the songs kind of about our dislike

26:44 Speaker 9: for certain things in the music business.

26:47 Speaker 8: So interesting, yeah, yeah, So.

26:52 Speaker 9: The I'm not I won't explain it on there, but

26:54 Speaker 9: all I'll say is the title of the song is

26:56 Speaker 9: a bit of a hidden message.

26:58 Speaker 8: Okay, okay, when you talk about like things that that

27:02 Speaker 8: you both don't like in the music business, like what

27:04 Speaker 8: do you mean?

27:04 Speaker 5: Like what? Uh?

27:05 Speaker 9: I think both of us were really frustrated with the

27:09 Speaker 9: fact that, you know, as a musician, especially in a

27:12 Speaker 9: local town, I want to if I'm booking a show

27:15 Speaker 9: with someone, I want to have a relationship with the venue,

27:19 Speaker 9: and unfortunately you can't do that with a lot of

27:23 Speaker 9: places around here because they work with other people. Right,

27:27 Speaker 9: So it's like there's a middleman, and then you're giving

27:31 Speaker 9: this middleman some money and for what why am I

27:34 Speaker 9: giving you money? I don't understand that it was about

27:37 Speaker 9: that and things that I've done, you know, so like

27:40 Speaker 9: it was just it was a song about frustration.

27:42 Speaker 8: Okay, okay, that makes sense. By the way, I just

27:45 Speaker 8: as you were talking to it just occurred to me

27:47 Speaker 8: because we had had kat Ivy on the show. I

27:49 Speaker 8: think we met her through you, right or did we

27:51 Speaker 8: mean or something I like to get I like to

27:54 Speaker 8: send people your way because does she kind of live

27:57 Speaker 8: out your way too? Isn't she from that?

27:58 Speaker 9: She lives actually close to here Lounderry?

28:01 Speaker 8: Oh okay, oh yeah, very okay, Yeah, but I think

28:04 Speaker 8: we met her through you. Yeahah so that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, absolutely,

28:09 Speaker 8: No that that came out great, that's that's yeah, that's

28:13 Speaker 8: a that's a wonderful song. Thank you, absolutely absolutely. Now,

28:17 Speaker 8: So what's like, what does this next year look like

28:20 Speaker 8: for you as far as playing shows? Are you're gonna

28:22 Speaker 8: be uh, you're gonna be doing a lot of shows

28:24 Speaker 8: or isn't that yeah, because you mentioned you were a

28:27 Speaker 8: little burnt out this past year.

28:29 Speaker 9: Yeah, I did like one hundred and sixty shows last year. Yeah,

28:32 Speaker 9: like two three hours shows. Wow, I did there. There

28:35 Speaker 9: was one day where I had four shows in a row,

28:36 Speaker 9: and I think most of them are three hours long.

28:39 Speaker 8: Wait for four shows in one day or yeah, four

28:43 Speaker 8: shows and four shows in one day.

28:44 Speaker 9: Yeah, like two farmers' markets in the morning and then

28:46 Speaker 9: two shows in the afternoon. Good lord.

28:48 Speaker 8: Yeah it must have been in the summertime, right, it

28:50 Speaker 8: was summer time.

28:51 Speaker 2: Yeah.

28:51 Speaker 8: Yeah, that's the only time that would happen.

28:52 Speaker 7: Yeah.

28:53 Speaker 5: Yeah.

28:53 Speaker 9: Wow, it's hard. You know, the music industry, the music,

28:57 Speaker 9: but the scene is shane even I've only been doing

29:01 Speaker 9: it for two years and I'm noticing differences. And there's

29:05 Speaker 9: a huge saturation of artists at the moment, which is

29:07 Speaker 9: a really beautiful thing, like anyone can do this, but

29:11 Speaker 9: it just means that you have to really hustle to

29:13 Speaker 9: get gigs. Oh yeah, I have a job at the moment.

29:16 Speaker 9: I'm an intern for a therapy agency, and it's like,

29:21 Speaker 9: when I get home, there's other things in my life

29:24 Speaker 9: that I want to make sure that I'm doing, which

29:26 Speaker 9: is spend time with family and my cats and make

29:30 Speaker 9: sure I'm taking better care of my health, which I've

29:32 Speaker 9: started doing about two months ago, So I don't know yet.

29:37 Speaker 9: I think I am limiting myself to gigs. I have gigs.

29:41 Speaker 9: I have a show tonight, for example.

29:43 Speaker 8: But where you playing tonight? We should plug that.

29:46 Speaker 9: At the Whiskey Tavern in Laconia.

29:48 Speaker 8: Okay, okay, excellent.

29:50 Speaker 9: But I'm kind of willing to diminish playing live. I'm

29:55 Speaker 9: going to go into the studio and record some songs

29:58 Speaker 9: and focus on that for a little bit and and

30:00 Speaker 9: see where that takes me.

30:02 Speaker 5: Yeah.

30:02 Speaker 9: I've done almost everything I wanted to do musically in

30:05 Speaker 9: this state, and I'm very proud of that. Yeah, and

30:07 Speaker 9: so I don't mind taking a bit of a break.

30:10 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. The songs that are on the CP,

30:16 Speaker 8: will you be? I mean, how does the what's the

30:19 Speaker 8: process of sort of translating those two Like if it

30:21 Speaker 8: says you and a guitar live, is that easy to.

30:26 Speaker 9: I think so? Yeah, because they were written originally, Like

30:30 Speaker 9: you've seen my guitar playing. I'm not someone that just

30:33 Speaker 9: like drums the chord. So for example, that song has

30:36 Speaker 9: a lot of two hands happing in it. Yeah, so

30:38 Speaker 9: I do that live, and the arrangement is based on

30:43 Speaker 9: the guitar riffs first and foremost, so you're you know,

30:48 Speaker 9: because the foundation is already there, it's kind of easy

30:52 Speaker 9: to emulate it.

30:53 Speaker 8: Yeah, so.

30:55 Speaker 9: Now to a certain degree. So for example, I think

30:57 Speaker 9: my favorite song on the album is a song called Prozac.

31:00 Speaker 9: And if you listen to the song, it has a

31:01 Speaker 9: bit of a I don't know if Caribbean is the

31:04 Speaker 9: right word, but like it reminds me of like Little

31:06 Speaker 9: Mermaid under the Sea. Yeah, it has that kind of

31:08 Speaker 9: sound to it. When you play it live, it sounds

31:11 Speaker 9: more like John Mayer's Neon. Okay, but I think they

31:14 Speaker 9: translate still like you wouldn't You wouldn't be like, oh,

31:18 Speaker 9: that's a totally different song. Okay, it's still the same

31:20 Speaker 9: song because is still there?

31:22 Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah, should we? Maybe we should play that one next?

31:25 Speaker 8: You want to want to give that one a spence? Sure,

31:27 Speaker 8: if you're just joining us, Temple Mountain is here, Eric

31:30 Speaker 8: from Temple Mountain. We should clarify too for a new

31:32 Speaker 8: You've been on the show a bunch now. But for

31:34 Speaker 8: but for people who don't know, why are you called

31:36 Speaker 8: Temple Mountain?

31:37 Speaker 1: Uh?

31:38 Speaker 9: Because I say, but at the time, I was a

31:40 Speaker 9: case manager and I just don't you know, you don't

31:44 Speaker 9: want you want to be able to separate your life

31:47 Speaker 9: a little bit. Yeah, so having and you know, I

31:49 Speaker 9: grew up watching a lot of Power Rangers, so I

31:51 Speaker 9: always have been into like alter egos.

31:53 Speaker 8: I guess, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, well, very good,

31:57 Speaker 8: very good. All right. So this is from the new

31:58 Speaker 8: ep Dress Sharp. This is this Temple Mountain in this

32:00 Speaker 8: track is called Prozac.

32:21 Speaker 7: This song has.

32:23 Speaker 1: Lost its way in the words.

32:30 Speaker 4: Shouting round, run but I can't be here? Did I

32:38 Speaker 4: fall for those magic curves? Did not get all that?

32:44 Speaker 9: Artist?

32:46 Speaker 14: Jeous sure plants to all around my mind.

33:01 Speaker 5: Said?

33:01 Speaker 1: The voices were so loud.

33:06 Speaker 7: Now I don't sill dear my eyes.

33:10 Speaker 1: I don't want to any help.

33:14 Speaker 14: Choices cute made.

33:18 Speaker 13: Now all that you say, I'm not oh okay. No,

33:29 Speaker 13: I'm not oh okay. I'm not oh okay, fat.

33:39 Speaker 1: You without you, I'm not okay.

33:52 Speaker 14: I think your motion in words.

33:57 Speaker 3: Simultaneously outside, separated from my body.

34:06 Speaker 7: I'm struggling to rise.

34:09 Speaker 13: The choices you.

34:14 Speaker 1: Now allah do you say?

34:20 Speaker 7: I am not Jay?

34:25 Speaker 6: I not.

34:27 Speaker 1: Ja, I am not old JA, catch.

34:36 Speaker 9: Cat you.

34:37 Speaker 14: I'm not okay.

34:51 Speaker 7: Later okay.

35:34 Speaker 8: That is Brozac. That is from the new EP from

35:36 Speaker 8: Temple Mountain called a dress sharp and very very catchy.

35:40 Speaker 8: I like that a lot, Thank you. So what's the

35:43 Speaker 8: genesis of the uh? Why is it called dress sharp?

35:47 Speaker 7: Uh?

35:47 Speaker 9: It's asked. So there's a line in the crowd that's

35:51 Speaker 9: on the crowd that says press sharp. But that's not

35:52 Speaker 9: why I called it that. I asked a friend of

35:55 Speaker 9: mine to do the album. Artworker names Casey Arnold. She's

35:58 Speaker 9: an incredible local artist. Uh strong shout out to her.

36:01 Speaker 9: I we met at a gig. Actually she did the

36:04 Speaker 9: She did the audio for me at a place called

36:08 Speaker 9: Madhouse Coffee mad River Coffee House in Campton, New Hampshire,

36:13 Speaker 9: and her art was on the walls and I was like,

36:15 Speaker 9: I'm in love with this. So she did the art

36:17 Speaker 9: for another song of mine called Bend and Uh, which

36:20 Speaker 9: isn't on Spotify anymore. But uh, when this album came out,

36:23 Speaker 9: I knew she was who I wanted to do, and

36:26 Speaker 9: I told her just listen to the album and paint

36:28 Speaker 9: whatever you feel. And she painted this with the album

36:31 Speaker 9: the uh the image that you see, and I just

36:34 Speaker 9: it was like, oh, drush sharp, okay, okay.

36:37 Speaker 8: Very good, very good. Oh you sound something interesting just

36:40 Speaker 8: now too, you said, so you had you had a

36:41 Speaker 8: song called Bend that's not on Spotify anymore, did you

36:44 Speaker 8: remove it?

36:44 Speaker 5: Yeah?

36:45 Speaker 9: I removed that song, a song called Grateful, and a

36:48 Speaker 9: song called Lonely because I just couldn't stand the production

36:50 Speaker 9: on it.

36:51 Speaker 8: Really it was.

36:52 Speaker 9: It was when I in between Schema and this album,

36:55 Speaker 9: I went into a different studio to record some stuff. Yeah,

36:57 Speaker 9: and I didn't know what I was doing, okay, but

37:01 Speaker 9: it was too unproduced. So like it was cool, they're

37:05 Speaker 9: great songs, but like they were double voiced and the

37:09 Speaker 9: audios and it was pitchy and it just didn't feel

37:12 Speaker 9: like I was representing myself.

37:13 Speaker 8: Well okay, yeah, what was it? Was it a situation

37:18 Speaker 8: where like the engineer there didn't h wasn't helpful in

37:22 Speaker 8: capturing your sound or.

37:24 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think he understood that I liked low five.

37:27 Speaker 9: He's a great engineer. So it's like I don't want

37:29 Speaker 9: to diminish his thing.

37:33 Speaker 8: But that's why, that's why I'm not asking you who

37:35 Speaker 8: it is. I know you don't want to throw anybody

37:37 Speaker 8: under the bus.

37:37 Speaker 9: Now I could say what his name, rhyme's with Now,

37:44 Speaker 9: I just say it just didn't feel right, and I think, uh,

37:47 Speaker 9: I think I knew I wanted to head into the

37:49 Speaker 9: direction of address sharp, which is why I entered the studio. Yeah,

37:53 Speaker 9: and instead I just it was like I was taking

37:54 Speaker 9: a step back instead of going forward. Okay, it's funny

37:57 Speaker 9: because those songs actually performed really well on Spotify. Oh,

38:00 Speaker 9: interesting because I did the waterfall effect on them and

38:03 Speaker 9: my views get my numbers went up. I just, you know,

38:07 Speaker 9: if you're not proud of something you shouldn't. I didn't

38:09 Speaker 9: want to do keep it there.

38:11 Speaker 8: Yeah, was that a hard decision?

38:13 Speaker 9: No, No, it was really really Yeah, I've been I

38:16 Speaker 9: knew I was going to do it for a while.

38:18 Speaker 8: Okay.

38:18 Speaker 9: And it's funny because and I forget how to play

38:21 Speaker 9: a lot of my songs sometimes. Yeah, it's really unhealthy.

38:24 Speaker 9: But uh, I totally forgot how to play Ben's. And

38:27 Speaker 9: there's another song called Lonely which I actually really like

38:29 Speaker 9: that song, but I can't play. Every time I try

38:31 Speaker 9: to pick up the guitar, I'm like, what are these chords?

38:34 Speaker 8: Interesting?

38:35 Speaker 9: Yeah, because I try, I don't normally use like theory

38:37 Speaker 9: or anything like that. Yea, like use my ear and

38:40 Speaker 9: try to find these patterns and motifs, and eventually, like

38:44 Speaker 9: then I have to learn the song again, and it's

38:46 Speaker 9: like I can't figure, I can't do it.

38:47 Speaker 8: No kidding.

38:48 Speaker 9: That's interesting all the time, does it really?

38:50 Speaker 8: Yeah?

38:51 Speaker 9: Yeah, I can only play like four songs on Schema

38:53 Speaker 9: still no Kenning.

38:55 Speaker 8: Yeah, that's interesting.

38:56 Speaker 9: By the way, this isn't something I recommend other people

38:58 Speaker 9: to do. Learn your music, right right? Yeah? But you

39:02 Speaker 9: know I can play wonder Wall like it's no tomorrow.

39:04 Speaker 9: So it's I don't know, Maybe it's a maybe it's

39:07 Speaker 9: an insecurity thing towards my own music where I purposely

39:09 Speaker 9: forget it.

39:10 Speaker 8: Yeah, like I wonder if subconsciously or maybe you just

39:13 Speaker 8: get bored with the songs and so your brain, the

39:15 Speaker 8: part of your brain kind of says, eh, we're done

39:17 Speaker 8: with this one.

39:18 Speaker 9: I feel like that's what Alfred Adler, a psychotherapist, would say.

39:21 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, there you go, there you go. There's a

39:24 Speaker 8: reason for everything. Yeah, do you have any you plan

39:28 Speaker 8: to do any music videos for these or.

39:30 Speaker 9: I have an idea for prozac du Yeah, but just

39:34 Speaker 9: I don't know if I will. I have an idea

39:36 Speaker 9: of me like being in a relationship with someone that's

39:39 Speaker 9: in like a pill bottle costume.

39:41 Speaker 8: Oh, that's a cool idea.

39:42 Speaker 9: And then like at the end it would be me

39:44 Speaker 9: like dancing with a bunch of pill bottles. But that

39:49 Speaker 9: could maybe that could sound a little what you might

39:52 Speaker 9: call it, maybe that would provide the wrong image of

39:54 Speaker 9: what I'm trying to get with the song, because the

39:56 Speaker 9: song's about the benefits of how it's helped changed my life.

40:00 Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, but you know again it's I would do it.

40:05 Speaker 9: I have people that I could use that I I

40:07 Speaker 9: would do, but I don't know if I'm interested. Yeah, yeah,

40:11 Speaker 9: Like what's the point of doing the music video just

40:13 Speaker 9: from I guess maybe for my own catharsis but yeah, yeah,

40:18 Speaker 9: And I feel like I sound like it to be

40:19 Speaker 9: downer at the moment, but you know, not like people

40:21 Speaker 9: should do music videos. But I just if I would

40:24 Speaker 9: do it if I felt.

40:25 Speaker 8: The need to, right right, Yeah at the moment. I

40:27 Speaker 8: do like your idea, though, I think that's.

40:30 Speaker 9: I've looked up on Amazon for pill bottle costumes and

40:33 Speaker 9: I haven't found the one that like in my he

40:36 Speaker 9: you know, the CVS pill bottle. Yeah, it requires like

40:40 Speaker 9: instructions to open. Yeah that's the bottle, and I can't

40:43 Speaker 9: find one. I found one, but it was it's like

40:46 Speaker 9: a cannabis costume. So it shows like, uh shows buds

40:50 Speaker 9: in the I don't know if I'm not to sit

40:51 Speaker 9: on the radio. Yeah, it shows like buds in the

40:55 Speaker 9: in the bottle and it's like, no, that's not that's

40:57 Speaker 9: not what I'm right, right, So I have to be

41:00 Speaker 9: creative and yeah no, not yet maybe someday.

41:04 Speaker 8: But you can't order a pill bottle, uh costume? Interesting? Yeah, yeah,

41:09 Speaker 8: I guess you can get just about anything on animals.

41:11 Speaker 9: You type in anything on Amazon, well, yeah.

41:16 Speaker 8: Just about Yeah. So you did mention. So so you've

41:18 Speaker 8: got new music that you're going to be working on

41:21 Speaker 8: as far as uh.

41:22 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's very this is a very recent thing, like

41:24 Speaker 9: two days ago when when the album I was burnt

41:28 Speaker 9: out until I released this album, like yeah, And I mean,

41:31 Speaker 9: like you ask anyone that was that saw me there

41:34 Speaker 9: at gigs and stuff like that. They could tell like, uh,

41:36 Speaker 9: kat Ivy, Actually we had a show, our last show

41:39 Speaker 9: was together at a place called the Francistown Coffee House

41:42 Speaker 9: yea in Francis Down, New Hampshire. And she went up

41:46 Speaker 9: to me, She's like are you are you okay? I

41:49 Speaker 9: just didn't want to be there. I really wanted to

41:50 Speaker 9: be home, you know. Yeah, Yeah, I just I couldn't

41:52 Speaker 9: take it anymore. And uh when I released this album

41:56 Speaker 9: and I could. I haven't been able to write a

41:58 Speaker 9: song since May, let's say, which for me, that's a

42:01 Speaker 9: long time. Yeah, and uh, two days ago something happened.

42:07 Speaker 8: Yeah.

42:07 Speaker 9: I've written a few songs in the past couple of days,

42:10 Speaker 9: and one of them I really like, and I reached

42:12 Speaker 9: out to Andrew and I showed it to him, and

42:14 Speaker 9: we're going.

42:14 Speaker 5: To do it.

42:15 Speaker 8: Excellent, I'm excited. Excellent, you're gonna do it as a

42:17 Speaker 8: single or.

42:18 Speaker 9: I think I think I'm gonna do. I think I'll

42:20 Speaker 9: record two or three songs this year and I'll release

42:23 Speaker 9: them individually, and I don't know if I'll promote them

42:28 Speaker 9: very much. I think it's just not about that anymore.

42:30 Speaker 9: I just wanna you know, I say that now and

42:32 Speaker 9: then you're gonna see me. I'll do an interview in

42:34 Speaker 9: like a few months, and I'm like working harder than ever.

42:37 Speaker 8: But yeah, yeah, I think all I think musicians go

42:39 Speaker 8: through this, of course, yeah, oh absolutely.

42:42 Speaker 9: In fact, you know, there are people and I mean

42:44 Speaker 9: this is the coup, like Katie Dobbs is a great

42:46 Speaker 9: example where I don't think she gets like she's just

42:49 Speaker 9: she's a power horse, keeps going and going and going. Yeah,

42:52 Speaker 9: so inspiring, and I'm I can't do that really, Yeah,

42:56 Speaker 9: I mean I did, and then I need a you

42:58 Speaker 9: need a few months off sometime.

43:00 Speaker 8: Yeah, well you also have a career. Yeah, you know,

43:03 Speaker 8: so it's it's hard.

43:05 Speaker 9: I appreciate that empathy. Yeah, I to hear that it's hard.

43:08 Speaker 8: It's hard to do like everything that you want to do,

43:11 Speaker 8: you know.

43:11 Speaker 7: Yeah.

43:12 Speaker 9: All at once I was I was, I know, like

43:14 Speaker 9: I'm looking at the time, but I was really curious

43:16 Speaker 9: about how you got this job.

43:18 Speaker 8: Well, so this show actually started as a podcast in

43:22 Speaker 8: twenty eleven, although I was doing podcasts way but I'm

43:25 Speaker 8: like an og podcaster. But I started out doing podcasts

43:28 Speaker 8: and then but I had a I used to do.

43:31 Speaker 8: Actually I did multiple television shows at because you know

43:35 Speaker 8: this is owned by Manchester Public Television, so on the

43:38 Speaker 8: channel twenty three I did shows and but then I

43:41 Speaker 8: had an opportunity I was invited to uh bring my

43:44 Speaker 8: podcast to WM and H And it was April of

43:48 Speaker 8: twenty seventeen, so coming up on nine years.

43:52 Speaker 9: So is in terms of like careers in this field,

43:55 Speaker 9: Is this been the one that you have the most

43:56 Speaker 9: longevity with? Is this show?

43:59 Speaker 8: No, because I've been doing I've been doing uh like

44:01 Speaker 8: I'm a hypnotherapist, as you know, I've great, I've been

44:03 Speaker 8: doing that for more than twenty years.

44:06 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm I'm so upset we didn't discuss that. Now,

44:10 Speaker 9: I'm like, I have so many questions. Yeah, yeah, so funny.

44:14 Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, has that been good?

44:16 Speaker 8: Good? Well, you know it's January, it's you know, New

44:19 Speaker 8: Year's resolution time.

44:20 Speaker 3: So uh.

44:22 Speaker 9: So you don't have like necessarily do you have consistent clients?

44:25 Speaker 8: Hell?

44:25 Speaker 9: Or is it always uh, new people?

44:28 Speaker 8: There's always new people because the thing about hypnotherapy is

44:31 Speaker 8: if I'm doing a really good job one and done,

44:33 Speaker 8: they don't come back. Yeah, they don't need to fascinate.

44:35 Speaker 9: Yeah, the opposite with I know, I know exactly exactly

44:40 Speaker 9: if you do one and done, Yeah, you got a

44:43 Speaker 9: gift if you want to know, if you.

44:46 Speaker 8: If you want to help someone with a phobia, you

44:48 Speaker 8: have to take a while, you take your time with it.

44:51 Speaker 9: Or well, it depends on what it depends on what

44:53 Speaker 9: you define as helping a phobia. Well true, yeah, yeah,

44:55 Speaker 9: I I kind of also am a part of accepting

44:58 Speaker 9: like the idea of can you accept your fear before

45:01 Speaker 9: moving on to the far right right? Yeah, that's so interesting.

45:04 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, we are approaching the top of the hour,
