19:54 Speaker 2: I love it? That is so good? Have you ever? That was recorded live. The band is Congregation X and we've four of the members here with us live in studio and yeah, that is so good. Tell Paris you started to talk before about the what is it called the Harmonium Circuit.

20:09 Speaker 16: So the Harmonium Circuit. This was the first year of it running, and it's just, uh, it's a collection of house shows, a bunch of you know, over the summer people have say outdoor amphitheaters behind their house or something like that. We it's all about supporting local music.

20:26 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, that's really cool when you say for people who don't know, like, what is a house show?

20:31 Speaker 16: So a house show in this sense, like we went to uh, we have a friend who is a very big friend of the arts in Barrington who invited us and many other musicians over to his house to play a show he's built out. I mean this almost doesn't even to meet classify as the house show because he's built this big, beautiful amphitheater in his backyard that could probably support like, wow, two hundred, yeah, one of the hundred people.

20:58 Speaker 2: So oh wow, yeah, very cool.

21:01 Speaker 12: Wow, beautiful sound too.

21:02 Speaker 15: Really the second year that happened, actually, isn't it.

21:06 Speaker 16: So this would be the first year that the Harmonium Circuit itself has happened. But yeah, we did like a couple of house shows, or we did a house show or something last year as well. But okay, yeah, yeah, all about kind of just organizing people together and giving local original artists a chance to you know, take the stage and play.

21:26 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, excellent. And you all were talking off air too about so Josh, this was your not because when you were here before, you had the upright base.

21:36 Speaker 18: I had the big the big dog, yeah, upright bas the stand up, the big wooden instrument. But on that track right there in that show, that was actually the first time we had all played together where I was on electric base, okay, playing in front of people, So it was a great change of feel, change of vibe, and I think we all just we all had a great time.

21:58 Speaker 15: As you can hear you kill it with all the bases.

22:01 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, Well I remember when you were here before, like because I'm a bass player and but I've never played an upright bass, so I just remember just kind of watching like I was watching you the whole time because I'm just fascinated by by watching you play. So I'm super curious, like why why move away from that? For at least for this. I mean, is this like a permanent transition, do you think?

22:21 Speaker 17: Or no?

22:22 Speaker 12: It was just for ease of travel sometimes I'm lazy.

22:25 Speaker 2: That makes well.

22:26 Speaker 18: Now if you show up to the press room, it's coming Wednesday, both the big Dog and the little tiny electric bass, I.

22:36 Speaker 15: Both got an acoustic electric bass for you to try to.

22:41 Speaker 17: Yeah.

22:41 Speaker 12: Oh wow, all right, I can't wait to try that. Yeah, okay, those things are fun.

22:46 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so you're gonna be you're gonna be traveling heavy. Then you're gonna bring uh my chest, might just have the full trio, right, bring all the basses dogs. Was it strange though, not playing the upright when when you're used to playing it with congregation?

23:03 Speaker 18: X was It's a bit of an adjustment, and you know, we have to maybe be on our toes a little bit more. Yeah, but that's not a bad things. It was a good change.

23:11 Speaker 2: Yeah one, Yeah, excellent, excellent.

23:14 Speaker 16: Yeah. You feel the difference in like the energy, because I feel like on upright you tend to lay back and hang out, but then like when you were on the electric base, you were right out. They It was super fun. I mean that that day, I remember we were talking about this in the practice after we all just felt really loose and just really chilling, like we were just we were just vibing and it was so fun. I mean, that was the kind of fun part about those shows that just we were all so relaxed through it.

23:42 Speaker 15: Yeah, except that it was really cold and like I had to fight through that with my vocals because I was like shivering.

23:50 Speaker 2: Yeah.

23:50 Speaker 15: So I'm actually really proud of how that came out.

23:53 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh really, Oh yeah, how cold was it that day?

23:57 Speaker 16: Like it was one of the first days where I think it got down into like the what mid to low fifties? Yeah, yeah, in the sixties, right right, Yeah, it got it got down there.

24:09 Speaker 2: Really yeah yeah, oh really yeah, Yeah, that's that's cold. And then so did you, like how long of a set did you play, because I assumed did you record everything or yeah.

24:20 Speaker 16: We recorded the whole thing, whole kit and kaboodle. I believe we played what an hour or so? It was roughly forty five to roughly forty five to an hour, yeah.

24:30 Speaker 2: Okay, okay. And then so these songs that you recorded are these on an album that you're you've released or is coming out.

24:36 Speaker 16: Or it's so we're actually this next show we're playing, we're raising funds to go into the studio, and okay, we have we've talked about, especially like with this show, putting out live tracks, and this is uh, these are these are some of the really really strong contenders for that because yeah, we we were so locked in that night. We just want to you know, have fun with these tracks, like people enjoy them, relive that moment.

25:02 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, when you when you decided to record the set that night, was that I mean, what were your expectations did did you expect did you expect it all? Because as a risk when you're recording live, did you expect it all to come out as well as it did or were you surprised at all?

25:16 Speaker 15: We're hoping, I mean we always hope to have like a little something we can put on the internet, yeah, you know, as an advertisement or just to share with people that we care about and fans that we have, like yeah, you know, and and sometimes sometimes we get recordings that are not so great. This time it happened to work out really well, like it was planned ahead of time. We had multiple angles, although I don't know I had it from a different angle. I don't know if I actually sent it to you guys.

25:46 Speaker 16: Oh yeah, we're getting all kinds of video of it too, Like, yeah, it was. There's definitely I would say that fear of like I don't know, it's it's definitely. It feels like a commitment, like everything you know is being committed to recording. But you're playing live, so the second you start, that's out of your mind because you're engaging with the crowd and you're having fun. And yeah, I had the I had the fun where like, I was also the sound engineer that night, so I was kind of placing the mics on everybody and making sure that like, oh, okay, you know it's gonna sound It's gonna sound fine.

26:19 Speaker 16: And then during our show, my good friend John Eric was actually mixing us, and yeah, I mean the recording came out. It came out phenomenal, it did.

26:28 Speaker 25: Yeah.

26:28 Speaker 16: Yeah, very easy to mix, very easy to just sit down and work.

26:32 Speaker 2: With, so outstanding, outstanding. Well, we should play another track? What should what should we play next?

26:37 Speaker 16: Show you were twenty four?

26:39 Speaker 15: That's to show you.

32:17 Speaker 12: Yes, so had four bases.

32:20 Speaker 16: Yeah, that's true.

32:21 Speaker 2: There you go all the bases.

32:23 Speaker 16: So when I first joined this group, when it was just Alexandria and Nevin, I was seeing them at an open mic all the time and I thought they were amazing, and at one point they invited me to sit in with them and I was like, oh, yeah, let's do it. And I had again, it's a little ukulele base where it's like it's the whole thing is maybe two feet long, and it's but it has when you plug it in, it has a really full base tone, a bait. It's a ukulele strung as a bass. Okay, And I sit in with them and there I guess that was apparently my audition because next thing you know, they're like, hey, yeah, you should come over to the Danger room, which is where we do all of the things and video, the studio we practice in.

33:14 Speaker 16: And I was kind of suddenly thinking, oh, I'm going to be thrown in on like bass or something like that, which okay, but I'm kind of a keys guy. And then I get to the Danger room and there's a piano. I'm like, all right, cool, we're in. Let's go, let's have fun.

33:27 Speaker 15: Think a little bit of an everything guy. Honestly, I do need I actually went and saw you as an individual artist and like scoped you out and was like, we need him.

33:39 Speaker 2: Yeah, so Alexandria. So it started with a congregation. IX started with you and Nevin and then and then Perish.

33:46 Speaker 15: Okay, well it's kind of It's kind of funny because I started playing at open mics because of Jake, because he was in my house all the time and it was twenty twenty yeah, and he was like you should do this, and then Nevin and I met through that, and then him and I started working together. Jake was doing his own thing. I we worked with a different basis. First. It just didn't work out, you know, not for anything, bad, bad, reasons, but that's good.

34:13 Speaker 18: Yeah, it just texted me up off all the street. They found me on the street corner. I had my base. They just called me on.

34:20 Speaker 12: No, I'm back back maybe six years ago.

34:24 Speaker 15: Yeah, I met you through theater.

34:26 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we were.

34:27 Speaker 18: Both kind of like involved with the Northern Essex Community College theater program, which I'm so thankful for. Shout out to Brian Beatrice. She's an excellent professor. Anyway, through that program, I learned so much about you know, just like and I met so many, so many great people in Alexandria was one of them. And so Beard reaction was a mutual friend from both of you know, from that past of hours, reached out and asked me if I'd be interested and uh and checking out what they have going Nevin and in Alexandria and uh, and so I walked in and sat in in the danger room and kind of checked out see what they had going.

35:09 Speaker 18: And you know Nevin, you know his he just always plays the right thing. And Alexandria has the golden pipe. So I was just I was sold right from the beginning.

35:20 Speaker 2: There I am. And then and then so Jake, how did you become a part of congregation acts.

35:26 Speaker 16: I just actually showed up one day.

35:28 Speaker 2: Yeah, he actually he was okay, Okay.

35:32 Speaker 29: They had been wanting or asking me to potentially play uh for a while, and and I was being lame and holding off and like I got too much going on.

35:44 Speaker 15: Sorry, Yeah, everything in divine timing.

35:47 Speaker 16: Well, you know, when you're also a frontman of a like a hardcore band at the same time as somebody else asking you to come play drums on something, you kind of got to stick to be in a front man at first.

35:58 Speaker 29: Yeah, I had my priorities with as the front man initially, and then we we had we had a moment in time h in my band where I front that we were kind of taking a bit of a break.

36:11 Speaker 2: Is that is is that the name? Okay? Yeah, pro.

36:18 Speaker 3: Good.

36:19 Speaker 29: Yeah, you'll check it out, shameless plug.

36:21 Speaker 16: Check out my band.

36:21 Speaker 15: It's very different from this music though. Yeah, yeah, you love metal.

36:26 Speaker 2: Nice nice.

36:27 Speaker 29: And then I just one day I was I was asked if I wanted to sit in, and I showed up and we played a couple of songs and I.

36:38 Speaker 12: Just's been coming back. He's been sitting ever since.

36:41 Speaker 3: Yeah.

36:42 Speaker 16: It was so cool because like flat we were when when Jake first came in, I was it was like our stuff was really chill and kind of like down down in wavy, you know, we were we had a really cool flow state. And then Jake comes in and he's got this really cool high enn where it's like, oh, you can tell he comes from a really high energy background. Yeah, and he a lot of the time, like he'll keep us from getting very like a little almost too quiet, because then like his energy just picks everybody up and it gives It's a huge part of what makes Congregation x is sound really unique from other bands, yeah, because it has this very like.

37:26 Speaker 2: How yeah, I find that I I had.

37:31 Speaker 29: I I learned how to drum based off of like early two thousands butt rock and like pop rock music. Yeah, but my metal influence still comes out these days with like changing to cut time and some spots and going a little bit quicker, hitting a little bit harder and whatnot.

37:48 Speaker 12: But but the the.

37:50 Speaker 29: Overall I guess consensus from the audience is that my supposedly my drumming adds a pop aspect to you. The more the more jazzy classical style of the band.

38:04 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, spices it up a little bit yeah, excellent.

38:10 Speaker 18: I think something that's been so fun about just like since the start of this band has been the fact that our sound has been something that we've been you know, having to work towards, having to meet in the middle between all of these different styles to be able to you know, create something that's cohesive and hopefully that something that people want to listen to, right right exactly.

38:31 Speaker 2: Yeah.

38:32 Speaker 16: I mean Josh has made me so much of a better pianist just by you know, me being able to listen to him as a bassis playing and like when he whenever he does sit down at the piano, he always blows me away and there's always something I'm like, I should learn that.

38:45 Speaker 12: Yeah, it works both ways, and it works. We're all we're all kind of like that.

38:49 Speaker 18: We all have interests in a lot of these different styles and instruments, and yeah, so it's it's a really great exchange of our interests.

38:57 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, excellent, excellent. Yeah we should. Uh what did you want to play an X? Did you want to play Evergreen?

39:03 Speaker 7: Oh?

39:03 Speaker 16: Yeah, let's hit Evergreen. Get to get into the trenches a little bit.

39:06 Speaker 2: If you're just joining us congregation acts. Oh, by the way, so before I play this, and I know I asked you this last time you're here, But where does a name come from? Congregation Acts because it's a cool name.

39:16 Speaker 15: So actually it's really funny that, like our name story is kind of funny because it was really just that Nevin kept putting us in the Google Google calendar as Congregation X because we didn't have a name, okay, And eventually we decided that that was actually the perfect name because originally him and I wanted to start a band that was like, you know, had more like rotating artists, like whoever was in on the project was in the on the project. And then we just so happened to organically, you know, find the everybody here that is actually now like a fixture.

39:51 Speaker 15: But it happened very naturally, you know, Like so we wanted it to be a name that kind of suited what ever vibe we were going for whenever we wanted to, you know, and who like, because sometimes we would have one artist working with us and then we'd have another one, and like there was a it was never the same in the beginning. But now we have all five of us and if we have somebody sit in with us, they're just our guests, so yea, yeah, yeah, that's where it came from. It literally was just a silly like fill in name because we didn't have a name, and now that's our name, man.

40:32 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember.

40:33 Speaker 16: There was one practice it was I think right before we played the Stone Church, where we all sit down and we're like, so do we want to change the name. And it felt like the one time that we had to be like, all right, let's try and throw other things out and we all just sit there silently like is there something Nah, No, we're Congregation acts.

40:50 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, very cool. All right, so let's give this a spin. This was recorded live, of course. This is Congregation X and the track is Evergreen h.

And yeah, another another gray track. You kind of you kind of pull off. Uh, it's kind of a live fade out like you would hear on a studio track, but you pulled out it off live really well, it's really good.

45:39 Speaker 16: That was a random idea that just kind of came to us in the studio. We didn't know how to how to end it, and then you, Josh just started playing these awesome harmonics on the upright, and I was like, oh, yeah, that's it.

45:51 Speaker 2: Yeah, like yeah, they rang through so.

45:53 Speaker 29: Beautifully with the with the electric bass in that cut right there.

45:57 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hadn't heard that cup before. Oh really it's so good though, Oh yeah, really good, really good. So what is what does the future hold for Congregation X? What are your next You kind of told me a little bit off there, but yes, well I would hope so.

46:12 Speaker 16: So Josh had alluded to this a little bit at the start of this. This coming Wednesday, we have our last show for probably the next couple months in southern New Hampshire and we'll be playing opening for Soul Color and Friends at the press Room And that's this Wednesday, November twelfth, and yeah, doors at six, show at seven.
