Speaker 2: we've four of the members here with us live in
Speaker 2: studio and yeah, that is so good. Tell Paris you
Speaker 2: started to talk before about the what is it called
Speaker 2: the Harmonium Circuit.
Speaker 16: So the Harmonium Circuit. This was the first year of
Speaker 16: it running, and it's just, uh, it's a collection of
Speaker 16: house shows, a bunch of you know, over the summer
Speaker 16: people have say outdoor amphitheaters behind their house or something
Speaker 16: like that. We it's all about supporting local music.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, that's really cool when you say for
Speaker 2: people who don't know, like, what is a house show?
Speaker 16: So a house show in this sense, like we went
Speaker 16: to uh, we have a friend who is a very
Speaker 16: big friend of the arts in Barrington who invited us
Speaker 16: and many other musicians over to his house to play
Speaker 16: a show he's built out. I mean this almost doesn't
Speaker 16: even to meet classify as the house show because he's
Speaker 16: built this big, beautiful amphitheater in his backyard that could
Speaker 16: probably support like, wow, two hundred, yeah, one of the
Speaker 16: hundred people.
Speaker 2: So oh wow, yeah, very cool.
Speaker 12: Wow, beautiful sound too.
Speaker 15: Really the second year that happened, actually, isn't it.
Speaker 16: So this would be the first year that the Harmonium
Speaker 16: Circuit itself has happened. But yeah, we did like a
Speaker 16: couple of house shows, or we did a house show
Speaker 16: or something last year as well. But okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 16: all about kind of just organizing people together and giving
Speaker 16: local original artists a chance to you know, take the
Speaker 16: stage and play.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, excellent. And you all were talking off air
Speaker 2: too about so Josh, this was your not because when
Speaker 2: you were here before, you had the upright base.
Speaker 18: I had the big the big dog, yeah, upright bas
Speaker 18: the stand up, the big wooden instrument. But on that
Speaker 18: track right there in that show, that was actually the
Speaker 18: first time we had all played together where I was
Speaker 18: on electric base, okay, playing in front of people, So
Speaker 18: it was a great change of feel, change of vibe,
Speaker 18: and I think we all just we all had a
Speaker 18: great time.
Speaker 15: As you can hear you kill it with all the bases.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, Well I remember when you were here before,
Speaker 2: like because I'm a bass player and but I've never
Speaker 2: played an upright bass, so I just remember just kind
Speaker 2: of watching like I was watching you the whole time
Speaker 2: because I'm just fascinated by by watching you play. So
Speaker 2: I'm super curious, like why why move away from that?
Speaker 2: For at least for this. I mean, is this like
Speaker 2: a permanent transition, do you think?
Speaker 17: Or no?
Speaker 12: It was just for ease of travel sometimes I'm lazy.
Speaker 2: That makes well.
Speaker 18: Now if you show up to the press room, it's
Speaker 18: coming Wednesday, both the big Dog and the little tiny
Speaker 18: electric bass, I.
Speaker 15: Both got an acoustic electric bass for you to try to.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Oh wow, all right, I can't wait to try that. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 12: those things are fun.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so you're gonna be you're gonna be traveling heavy.
Speaker 2: Then you're gonna bring uh my chest, might just have
Speaker 2: the full trio, right, bring all the basses dogs. Was
Speaker 2: it strange though, not playing the upright when when you're
Speaker 2: used to playing it with congregation?
Speaker 18: X was It's a bit of an adjustment, and you know,
Speaker 18: we have to maybe be on our toes a little
Speaker 18: bit more. Yeah, but that's not a bad things. It
Speaker 18: was a good change.
Speaker 2: Yeah one, Yeah, excellent, excellent.
Speaker 16: Yeah. You feel the difference in like the energy, because
Speaker 16: I feel like on upright you tend to lay back
Speaker 16: and hang out, but then like when you were on
Speaker 16: the electric base, you were right out. They It was
Speaker 16: super fun. I mean that that day, I remember we
Speaker 16: were talking about this in the practice after we all
Speaker 16: just felt really loose and just really chilling, like we
Speaker 16: were just we were just vibing and it was so fun.
Speaker 16: I mean, that was the kind of fun part about
Speaker 16: those shows that just we were all so relaxed through it.
Speaker 15: Yeah, except that it was really cold and like I
Speaker 15: had to fight through that with my vocals because I
Speaker 15: was like shivering.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 15: So I'm actually really proud of how that came out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh really, Oh yeah, how cold was it that day?
Speaker 16: Like it was one of the first days where I
Speaker 16: think it got down into like the what mid to
Speaker 16: low fifties? Yeah, yeah, in the sixties, right right, Yeah,
Speaker 16: it got it got down there.
Speaker 2: Really yeah yeah, oh really yeah, Yeah, that's that's cold.
Speaker 2: And then so did you, like how long of a
Speaker 2: set did you play, because I assumed did you record
Speaker 2: everything or yeah.
Speaker 16: We recorded the whole thing, whole kit and kaboodle. I
Speaker 16: believe we played what an hour or so? It was
Speaker 16: roughly forty five to roughly forty five to an hour, yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay. And then so these songs that you recorded
Speaker 2: are these on an album that you're you've released or
Speaker 2: is coming out.
Speaker 16: Or it's so we're actually this next show we're playing,
Speaker 16: we're raising funds to go into the studio, and okay,
Speaker 16: we have we've talked about, especially like with this show,
Speaker 16: putting out live tracks, and this is uh, these are
Speaker 16: these are some of the really really strong contenders for
Speaker 16: that because yeah, we we were so locked in that night.
Speaker 16: We just want to you know, have fun with these tracks,
Speaker 16: like people enjoy them, relive that moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, when you when you decided to record the
Speaker 2: set that night, was that I mean, what were your
Speaker 2: expectations did did you expect did you expect it all?
Speaker 2: Because as a risk when you're recording live, did you
Speaker 2: expect it all to come out as well as it
Speaker 2: did or were you surprised at all?
Speaker 15: We're hoping, I mean we always hope to have like
Speaker 15: a little something we can put on the internet, yeah,
Speaker 15: you know, as an advertisement or just to share with
Speaker 15: people that we care about and fans that we have,
Speaker 15: like yeah, you know, and and sometimes sometimes we get
Speaker 15: recordings that are not so great. This time it happened
Speaker 15: to work out really well, like it was planned ahead
Speaker 15: of time. We had multiple angles, although I don't know
Speaker 15: I had it from a different angle. I don't know
Speaker 15: if I actually sent it to you guys.
Speaker 16: Oh yeah, we're getting all kinds of video of it too, Like, yeah,
Speaker 16: it was. There's definitely I would say that fear of
Speaker 16: like I don't know, it's it's definitely. It feels like
Speaker 16: a commitment, like everything you know is being committed to recording.
Speaker 16: But you're playing live, so the second you start, that's
Speaker 16: out of your mind because you're engaging with the crowd
Speaker 16: and you're having fun. And yeah, I had the I
Speaker 16: had the fun where like, I was also the sound
Speaker 16: engineer that night, so I was kind of placing the
Speaker 16: mics on everybody and making sure that like, oh, okay,
Speaker 16: you know it's gonna sound It's gonna sound fine. And
Speaker 16: then during our show, my good friend John Eric was
Speaker 16: actually mixing us, and yeah, I mean the recording came out.
Speaker 16: It came out phenomenal, it did.
Speaker 25: Yeah.
Speaker 16: Yeah, very easy to mix, very easy to just sit
Speaker 16: down and work.
Speaker 2: With, so outstanding, outstanding. Well, we should play another track?
Speaker 2: What should what should we play next?

Speaker 2: ukulele base or base ukulele.
Speaker 12: Yes, so had four bases.
Speaker 16: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2: There you go all the bases.
Speaker 16: So when I first joined this group, when it was
Speaker 16: just Alexandria and Nevin, I was seeing them at an
Speaker 16: open mic all the time and I thought they were amazing,
Speaker 16: and at one point they invited me to sit in
Speaker 16: with them and I was like, oh, yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 16: And I had again, it's a little ukulele base where
Speaker 16: it's like it's the whole thing is maybe two feet long,
Speaker 16: and it's but it has when you plug it in,
Speaker 16: it has a really full base tone, a bait. It's
Speaker 16: a ukulele strung as a bass. Okay, And I sit
Speaker 16: in with them and there I guess that was apparently
Speaker 16: my audition because next thing you know, they're like, hey, yeah,
Speaker 16: you should come over to the Danger room, which is
Speaker 16: where we do all of the things and video, the
Speaker 16: studio we practice in. And I was kind of suddenly thinking, oh,
Speaker 16: I'm going to be thrown in on like bass or
Speaker 16: something like that, which okay, but I'm kind of a
Speaker 16: keys guy. And then I get to the Danger room
Speaker 16: and there's a piano. I'm like, all right, cool, we're in.
Speaker 16: Let's go, let's have fun.
Speaker 15: Think a little bit of an everything guy. Honestly, I
Speaker 15: do need I actually went and saw you as an
Speaker 15: individual artist and like scoped you out and was like,
Speaker 15: we need him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Alexandria. So it started with a congregation. IX
Speaker 2: started with you and Nevin and then and then Perish.
Speaker 15: Okay, well it's kind of It's kind of funny because
Speaker 15: I started playing at open mics because of Jake, because
Speaker 15: he was in my house all the time and it
Speaker 15: was twenty twenty yeah, and he was like you should
Speaker 15: do this, and then Nevin and I met through that,
Speaker 15: and then him and I started working together. Jake was
Speaker 15: doing his own thing. I we worked with a different basis. First.
Speaker 15: It just didn't work out, you know, not for anything, bad, bad, reasons,
Speaker 15: but that's good.
Speaker 18: Yeah, it just texted me up off all the street.
Speaker 18: They found me on the street corner. I had my base.
Speaker 18: They just called me on.
Speaker 12: No, I'm back back maybe six years ago.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I met you through theater.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we were.
Speaker 18: Both kind of like involved with the Northern Essex Community
Speaker 18: College theater program, which I'm so thankful for. Shout out
Speaker 18: to Brian Beatrice. She's an excellent professor. Anyway, through that program,
Speaker 18: I learned so much about you know, just like and
Speaker 18: I met so many, so many great people in Alexandria
Speaker 18: was one of them. And so Beard reaction was a
Speaker 18: mutual friend from both of you know, from that past
Speaker 18: of hours, reached out and asked me if I'd be
Speaker 18: interested and uh and checking out what they have going
Speaker 18: Nevin and in Alexandria and uh, and so I walked
Speaker 18: in and sat in in the danger room and kind
Speaker 18: of checked out see what they had going. And you
Speaker 18: know Nevin, you know his he just always plays the
Speaker 18: right thing. And Alexandria has the golden pipe. So I
Speaker 18: was just I was sold right from the beginning.
Speaker 2: There I am. And then and then so Jake, how
Speaker 2: did you become a part of congregation acts.
Speaker 16: I just actually showed up one day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he actually he was okay, Okay.
Speaker 29: They had been wanting or asking me to potentially play
Speaker 29: uh for a while, and and I was being lame
Speaker 29: and holding off and like I got too much going on.
Speaker 15: Sorry, Yeah, everything in divine timing.
Speaker 16: Well, you know, when you're also a frontman of a
Speaker 16: like a hardcore band at the same time as somebody
Speaker 16: else asking you to come play drums on something, you
Speaker 16: kind of got to stick to be in a front
Speaker 16: man at first.
Speaker 29: Yeah, I had my priorities with as the front man initially,
Speaker 29: and then we we had we had a moment in
Speaker 29: time h in my band where I front that we
Speaker 29: were kind of taking a bit of a break.
Speaker 2: Is that is is that the name? Okay? Yeah, pro.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 29: Yeah, you'll check it out, shameless plug.
Speaker 16: Check out my band.
Speaker 15: It's very different from this music though. Yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 15: love metal.
Speaker 2: Nice nice.
Speaker 29: And then I just one day I was I was
Speaker 29: asked if I wanted to sit in, and I showed
Speaker 29: up and we played a couple of songs and I.
Speaker 12: Just's been coming back. He's been sitting ever since.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 16: It was so cool because like flat we were when
Speaker 16: when Jake first came in, I was it was like
Speaker 16: our stuff was really chill and kind of like down
Speaker 16: down in wavy, you know, we were we had a
Speaker 16: really cool flow state. And then Jake comes in and
Speaker 16: he's got this really cool high enn where it's like, oh,
Speaker 16: you can tell he comes from a really high energy background. Yeah,
Speaker 16: and he a lot of the time, like he'll keep
Speaker 16: us from getting very like a little almost too quiet,
Speaker 16: because then like his energy just picks everybody up and
Speaker 16: it gives It's a huge part of what makes Congregation
Speaker 16: x is sound really unique from other bands, yeah, because
Speaker 16: it has this very like.
Speaker 2: How yeah, I find that I I had.
Speaker 29: I I learned how to drum based off of like
Speaker 29: early two thousands butt rock and like pop rock music. Yeah,
Speaker 29: but my metal influence still comes out these days with
Speaker 29: like changing to cut time and some spots and going
Speaker 29: a little bit quicker, hitting a little bit harder and whatnot.
Speaker 12: But but the the.
Speaker 29: Overall I guess consensus from the audience is that my
Speaker 29: supposedly my drumming adds a pop aspect to you. The
Speaker 29: more the more jazzy classical style of the band.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, spices it up a little bit yeah, excellent.
Speaker 18: I think something that's been so fun about just like
Speaker 18: since the start of this band has been the fact
Speaker 18: that our sound has been something that we've been you know,
Speaker 18: having to work towards, having to meet in the middle
Speaker 18: between all of these different styles to be able to
Speaker 18: you know, create something that's cohesive and hopefully that something
Speaker 18: that people want to listen to, right right exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 16: I mean Josh has made me so much of a
Speaker 16: better pianist just by you know, me being able to
Speaker 16: listen to him as a bassis playing and like when
Speaker 16: he whenever he does sit down at the piano, he
Speaker 16: always blows me away and there's always something I'm like,
Speaker 16: I should learn that.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it works both ways, and it works. We're all
Speaker 12: we're all kind of like that.
Speaker 18: We all have interests in a lot of these different
Speaker 18: styles and instruments, and yeah, so it's it's a really
Speaker 18: great exchange of our interests.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, excellent, excellent. Yeah we should. Uh what did
Speaker 2: you want to play an X? Did you want to
Speaker 2: play Evergreen?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 16: Yeah, let's hit Evergreen. Get to get into the trenches
Speaker 16: a little bit.
Speaker 2: If you're just joining us congregation acts. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 2: so before I play this, and I know I asked
Speaker 2: you this last time you're here, But where does a
Speaker 2: name come from? Congregation Acts because it's a cool name.
Speaker 15: So actually it's really funny that, like our name story
Speaker 15: is kind of funny because it was really just that
Speaker 15: Nevin kept putting us in the Google Google calendar as
Speaker 15: Congregation X because we didn't have a name, okay, And
Speaker 15: eventually we decided that that was actually the perfect name
Speaker 15: because originally him and I wanted to start a band
Speaker 15: that was like, you know, had more like rotating artists,
Speaker 15: like whoever was in on the project was in the
Speaker 15: on the project. And then we just so happened to organically,
Speaker 15: you know, find the everybody here that is actually now
Speaker 15: like a fixture. But it happened very naturally, you know,
Speaker 15: Like so we wanted it to be a name that
Speaker 15: kind of suited what ever vibe we were going for
Speaker 15: whenever we wanted to, you know, and who like, because
Speaker 15: sometimes we would have one artist working with us and
Speaker 15: then we'd have another one, and like there was a
Speaker 15: it was never the same in the beginning. But now
Speaker 15: we have all five of us and if we have
Speaker 15: somebody sit in with us, they're just our guests, so yea, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 15: that's where it came from. It literally was just a
Speaker 15: silly like fill in name because we didn't have a name,
Speaker 15: and now that's our name, man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember.
Speaker 16: There was one practice it was I think right before
Speaker 16: we played the Stone Church, where we all sit down
Speaker 16: and we're like, so do we want to change the name.
Speaker 16: And it felt like the one time that we had
Speaker 16: to be like, all right, let's try and throw other
Speaker 16: things out and we all just sit there silently like
Speaker 16: is there something Nah, No, we're Congregation acts.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, very cool. All right, so let's give this
Speaker 2: a spin. This was recorded live, of course. This is
Speaker 2: Congregation X and the track is Evergreen h.

Speaker 2: the five members here in studio with us. And yeah,
Speaker 2: another another gray track. You kind of you kind of
Speaker 2: pull off. Uh, it's kind of a live fade out
Speaker 2: like you would hear on a studio track, but you
Speaker 2: pulled out it off live really well, it's really good.
Speaker 16: That was a random idea that just kind of came
Speaker 16: to us in the studio. We didn't know how to
Speaker 16: how to end it, and then you, Josh just started
Speaker 16: playing these awesome harmonics on the upright, and I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 16: that's it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like yeah, they rang through so.
Speaker 29: Beautifully with the with the electric bass in that cut
Speaker 29: right there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hadn't heard that cup before. Oh really it's
Speaker 2: so good though, Oh yeah, really good, really good. So
Speaker 2: what is what does the future hold for Congregation X?
Speaker 2: What are your next You kind of told me a
Speaker 2: little bit off there, but yes, well I would hope so.
