Speaker 8: Absolutely absolutely. Where does the name come from? Regals?
Speaker 20: Yeah, interesting question, I guess so like it kind of
Speaker 20: I was like trying to create a character, I guess,
Speaker 20: like a while ago.
Speaker 8: Yeah, for like this.
Speaker 21: Project, you know, and it kind of you know, it's
Speaker 21: based off of my name in a way. Like my
Speaker 21: name is Ryan Rocky Egan. My middle name is rock
Speaker 21: By the way, It's not some corny like Instagram handle
Speaker 21: thing or anything.
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 21: Yeah, I know, it's come It's a family thing. It's
Speaker 21: a great ancestor of ours was a priest and he
Speaker 21: had cancer and had a.
Speaker 20: Maggot treatment.
Speaker 21: Uh really yeah, like way way back in the day,
Speaker 21: like and uh bid out the cant they bid out
Speaker 21: the cancer and he lived for a long life after
Speaker 21: that and then considered it a miracle. Wow, and that
Speaker 21: became anamesake for my family. My dad has that middle name,
Speaker 21: and uh my brother also, so yeah, so I'm my
Speaker 21: middle name is rock and Ryan Egan Regal R E
Speaker 21: g A.
Speaker 20: It's close, but basically.
Speaker 21: Like you know, like I was like gonna try to
Speaker 21: do like a character named like Rocky Regal, like when
Speaker 21: I grew up. When I was growing up, everyone called
Speaker 21: me Rocky and uh, but then one day I was like,
Speaker 21: I want to be normal.
Speaker 20: I want to be Ryan.
Speaker 21: I don't know why I wanted to be normal, because
Speaker 21: I'm not normal person. So yeah, that's basically, and you know,
Speaker 21: and then Regals, it's kind of like an irony thing,
Speaker 21: you know, like we call ourselves regals, but we're you know,
Speaker 21: we're paycheck to paycheck types of guys, class work in warehouses,
Speaker 21: truck drivers.
Speaker 20: I'm recently trust funded. But you know that's another story.
Speaker 19: Okay, all right, Lucas, I'm gonna ask you, can you
Speaker 19: pick up that other that other mic there that I
Speaker 19: put on that table. And I'm gonna because I want
Speaker 19: to talk to you guys a little bit, but I
Speaker 19: want to have used that one, because that one's just
Speaker 19: too far away. I can't make it work. But that
Speaker 19: one there we go. Hello, I want to make sure
Speaker 19: we can hear you. Got your voice is familiar, but
Speaker 19: happy to be here, happy, happy to be here. Yes,
Speaker 19: it's a little inside. But if you know, you know,
Speaker 19: not that I told anybody, not that I told anybody,
Speaker 19: but uh no, you guys sound amazing. Lucas, can you
Speaker 19: tell us what you're playing for listeners who might be like,
Speaker 19: oh what what?
Speaker 23: What is that?
Speaker 8: That doesn't sound like a normal guitar.
Speaker 23: Nope, it's a little bit of a different kind of guitar.
Speaker 23: I've got sixty four Fender eight hundred pedal steel guitar.
Speaker 23: It's my favorite instrument that I've ever purchased. Yeah, I
Speaker 23: bought it about a year ago off a new friend
Speaker 23: I made on Craigslist. Okay, our friend Jason actually recorded
Speaker 23: all of our tracks that were playing. Most of the
Speaker 23: tracks were playing today, most of the songs Project sound
Speaker 23: down in Clinton, Mass is my friend that I purchased this. Yeah,
Speaker 23: I lose diner out. So it's a ten string, six
Speaker 23: pedal guitar. It stands like a table and uh you
Speaker 23: play it. Country Western styles.
Speaker 20: Yeah, people call it table guitar.
Speaker 23: Yeah, table top guitar.
Speaker 8: Really, I think, okay, i'll call it.
Speaker 23: That now we call it that makes But I've played guitar,
Speaker 23: normal six string guitar for a long time and tried
Speaker 23: to emulate a lot of the country Western stuff that
Speaker 23: I like. Yeah, And after simulating it for many, many years,
Speaker 23: I finally found a guitar that I could afford. Because
Speaker 23: boy are these things expensive and hard to find in
Speaker 23: New England. Yeah, they're tough to find in New England.
Speaker 23: There's plenty of country music around here, as far as
Speaker 23: ones that are ar to me. This is the first
Speaker 23: one I found. Yeah, I've got friends down in Virginia
Speaker 23: and down in North Carolina, and pedal steels are all
Speaker 23: over the place.
Speaker 8: I can imagine.
Speaker 23: Yeah, but up here they're very expensive. Our friend Trent
Speaker 23: from Slim Volume, which is selling one. You missed your chance,
Speaker 23: it's already sorry.
Speaker 22: Sorry.
Speaker 8: So what's it like going from playing just a regular
Speaker 8: six string guitar to playing that?
Speaker 19: I mean, is it a big It must have been.
Speaker 19: Obviously it's an adjustment, it's different. But like, how hard
Speaker 19: was it to learn to play that?
Speaker 23: I did tons of research beforehand. Yeah, YouTube is a
Speaker 23: good friend. Plenty of research. The Steel players forum dot
Speaker 23: com is the place for steel nerds, yeah, to go
Speaker 23: to go chat it's it's an old forum site that's
Speaker 23: still very much active, and you can go directly to
Speaker 23: the manufacturer a lot of the times and they can
Speaker 23: answer any sort of technical questions. But as far as
Speaker 23: playing it, yeah, it had a little bit of a
Speaker 23: learning curve. Like I said, I was trying to emulate
Speaker 23: this sort of sound, so I found a guitar that
Speaker 23: bends singular string when you play it, an old b
Speaker 23: bender telecaster really pull the arm inside guitar, and I
Speaker 23: was trying to emulate this sort of style. But getting
Speaker 23: on there, sitting in front of it is very different
Speaker 23: than just researching. So it's played almost in an open tuning,
Speaker 23: kind of like a blues slide guitar. They have ten strings,
Speaker 23: so you have intervals between the normal strings, where if
Speaker 23: you play it open it just doesn't sound great. So
Speaker 23: you have to find different groupings, and there's different strings
Speaker 23: that work together, so you do groups of three most
Speaker 23: of the time, and then you have your pedals down below,
Speaker 23: so a grouping of two, the two different strings are
Speaker 23: controlled by two different petals, so each one can raise
Speaker 23: it full step or half step.
Speaker 20: There's half step.
Speaker 23: But finding the different groupings and then learning to use
Speaker 23: your whole body is very different.
Speaker 8: I was just thinking about that when he said that.
Speaker 8: It's almost like playing the drums, where you're using.
Speaker 23: Very similar at the pus style. Yeah, limb, but this
Speaker 23: is an old school pedal steel that doesn't have any
Speaker 23: knee levers.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I have.
Speaker 23: I have one pedal here that can drop strings, but
Speaker 23: on a more contemporary style they have knee levers that
Speaker 23: can drop your string. Yeah, this one, I'm still learning.
Speaker 23: I've had it about a year and it's really fun. Yeah,
Speaker 23: it's really fun. Been very thankful playing shows with Ryan,
Speaker 23: some of his solo gigs, I've been able to sit
Speaker 23: in with a few other people. Yeah, so playing with
Speaker 23: other folks is a whole different experience too. I'm I'm
Speaker 23: getting used to playing with Ryan, we've been we've been
Speaker 23: buddies a long time. Yeah, but playing this thing with
Speaker 23: other pe people, uh, fake it till you make it right. Yeah.
Speaker 8: They sound great.
Speaker 19: Thank you, And like I said, you know, we when
Speaker 19: Jenny and I were at the Shaft Scheme that night
Speaker 19: to see her son Jesse play.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, you guys were playing and sounded incredible. I
Speaker 8: was like, jeez, we gotta get him on the show.
Speaker 19: You had been played on the show before when we
Speaker 19: had Mosaic Art Collective here and you guys had that
Speaker 19: show coming up at UH at Mosaic. But but yeah,
Speaker 19: it's it's great to have you in. Do you guys
Speaker 19: want to play another song? Sure, I'm dying here more
Speaker 19: and Lucas yeah you can. You can just put that
Speaker 19: on the on the chair if you don't mind.
Speaker 8: Sorry about that.
Speaker 19: We do a lot of improvising here. But no, you
Speaker 19: guys sound great in the headphone, so that's for sure.
Speaker 19: If you are just joining us uh regals here with
Speaker 19: us a live in studio you said you still call
Speaker 19: it regals when it's just the two of you or yeah,
Speaker 19: okay playing?
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, all right as well?
Speaker 20: Yeah, Lucas and Ryan here here you go rocking.
Speaker 24: Luke, you cut me home each and every time. I
Speaker 24: guess I won't in too much now catch me drowning
Speaker 24: every nine. I thought what we had was good, you
Speaker 24: even said it yourself, and we should. But now I'm
Speaker 24: past sins or floating locked in bodies from the depths
Speaker 24: of this river bed m and now you're gone, and
Speaker 24: that's fine. I hope the way you choose away your
Speaker 24: time now it's worth it.
Speaker 27: Dead Name.
Speaker 4: All the God love now.
Speaker 22: Is one picture.
Speaker 24: It helps me remember what you look like, because I'm
Speaker 24: forgetting most things these days. I'm blacking our crossing down
Speaker 24: Inch roadway.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because they have. Derry heard me seeing.
Speaker 24: I swear you fell in love. He said I was
Speaker 24: gonna be fami. I said, I don't really care about
Speaker 24: that stuff.
Speaker 3: For laeve me when I say, I really hate the
Speaker 3: way you're talking about me.
Speaker 2: Why dore you do this? Study? Dead name, dore you
Speaker 2: to this.
Speaker 5: Stay the name.
Speaker 4: Dory to these studs.
Speaker 2: Dead name a Dori to this day. Don yah yah
Speaker 2: he Dori to this day. Don came. Oh my Dori
Speaker 2: to this day.
Speaker 8: H mm hmm. So good.
Speaker 19: Ryan and Lucas are here from read and these guys
Speaker 19: sound amazing. If you are just tuning in, what can
Speaker 19: you can you tell us more about the new the
Speaker 19: new album coming out, Lucas, feel free to to to
Speaker 19: grab that mic of course.
Speaker 21: So the new album it's called a Love Sick Purgatory.
Speaker 21: It's kind of a just a collection of songs that
Speaker 21: are just about mostly heartbreak and.
Speaker 20: Just love and junk like that. I just kind of
Speaker 20: find it easier to write songs about stuff like that.
Speaker 20: And yeah, you know, there's like a lot heavier things, but.
Speaker 21: Those are you know, way harder to write songs about.
Speaker 21: But you know, a love song, it's theme. Yeah, so
Speaker 21: you know, yeah, you know, I'm okay, guys, all right,
Speaker 21: it's all water under the bridge. But yeah, it's just
Speaker 21: a bunch of songs that, you know, definitely for people
Speaker 21: that are you know, feel in a certain type of way.
Speaker 8: Sure, sure, but uh, and that's that's coming out soon.
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's gonna be out around February, like late February.
Speaker 8: Excellent, excellent.
Speaker 21: Yeah, we're gonna do a little run of shows at
Speaker 21: the end of the month into March and uh, you know,
Speaker 21: like we're just kind of finishing up some loose ends
Speaker 21: and we'll be announcing.
Speaker 8: The tour very soon and excellent.
Speaker 21: Gonna have a lot of fun and you know, just
Speaker 21: play some shows and do the thing, yeah and thing
Speaker 21: for a little bit.
Speaker 19: You know, it must be nice for you to have
Speaker 19: a configuration where you can you can approach it different,
Speaker 19: like if you know, if you're doing something like just
Speaker 19: the two of you like this, or like you did
Speaker 19: at the Shaft skiing, or if it's the full band
Speaker 19: or you know, to have that flexibility like I used
Speaker 19: to play in it. I played in a bunch of bands,
Speaker 19: but I never played in anything where you know, you're
Speaker 19: really well I mean, I guess I did. Technically I
Speaker 19: played in a band where we could do an acoustic set,
Speaker 19: but nothing nothing like this where you know, you can
Speaker 19: sort of mix it up a little bit and it
Speaker 19: gives maybe maybe the songs have a different texture to
Speaker 19: depends I mean on what configuration of the band is
Speaker 19: playing them.
Speaker 8: And that must be kind of fun.
Speaker 21: Yeah, you know, it's it's nice for the people that
Speaker 21: I really want to focus on, you know, my voice
Speaker 21: and kind of like you know, with the band it
Speaker 21: gets a little noisier, but it's you know, I mean,
Speaker 21: our rhythm sections real tight. But yeah, you know, we
Speaker 21: keep we keep a real tight I feel, but uh
Speaker 21: you know, still, you know, it's nice to bring it
Speaker 21: down a couple of notches and.
Speaker 20: Just you know, just feel the raw motion of the songs.
Speaker 21: Yeah, you know, sometimes but yeah, you know, I love
Speaker 21: just playing with Lucas it's nice and fun.
Speaker 20: Yeah, we have a good time.
Speaker 23: You have a good time.
Speaker 21: Yeah, hit the road, play a couple of shows and
Speaker 21: little towns. We just played at Pembroke City Limit Limits.
Speaker 8: Excellent.
Speaker 20: Yeah, cool guy.
Speaker 19: Yeah right, you guys have been on Rob show, right,
Speaker 19: Grand State of Minds. Yeah, a little plug for that
Speaker 19: Friday nights at six pm here on w m n H. Yeah,
Speaker 19: that's great what he's doing at Pembroke City Limits.
Speaker 8: It's such a cool spot, absolutely spot.
Speaker 20: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Absolutely enjoyed a lot of great talent from the area
Speaker 8: that plays there.
Speaker 20: And then super attentive crowd. Yeah yeah, which was which
Speaker 20: is really nice.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 23: When our friend Trent shout outs to Trent again, Trent,
Speaker 23: I heard his interview with Rob and he was describing
Speaker 23: Pembroke City Limits as a listening room.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 23: I thought that was really cool. I thought that was
Speaker 23: really neat because it's not exactly a noisy bar, right,
Speaker 23: like a dive bar whatever. People are there to appreciate
Speaker 23: the music, right, So that was really neat. We went
Speaker 23: there without without sewing our drummer, so we had a
Speaker 23: very modified set. Yeah, and we missed him big time,
Speaker 23: but it sounded really cool.
Speaker 20: Yeah, good spot.
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's yeah because a lot of bars,
Speaker 19: you know, it's like people are there to drink and
Speaker 19: the music becomes sort of secondary. But so, yeah, it
Speaker 19: is more of a listening room. You're right, that's that's
Speaker 19: really cool. We need more places like that. There aren't
Speaker 19: any places like that around. And then when you so
Speaker 19: when you go on tour, where do you know yet
Speaker 19: where you're going?
Speaker 8: Like, are you going? Are you getting out of New England?
Speaker 21: And we're playing while we're playing some shows in New England,
Speaker 21: we're going down Richmond, Ashville, Nashville excellent. Yeah, I'm gonna

Speaker 19: live in studio. Ryan, I'm curious about vocal influences.
Speaker 20: You've got to.
Speaker 19: You've got such a raw delivery, and I mean but
Speaker 19: I mean that in the best possible way, Like it's
Speaker 19: just awesome.
Speaker 8: It's you really emote when you sing, Like.
Speaker 19: Is is there anyone who really influenced you when you
Speaker 19: were learning to sing as far as as far as
Speaker 19: your style?
Speaker 21: Yeah, well, I mean growing up, my parents were really
Speaker 21: into Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, like really like emotional animated,
Speaker 21: you know, sixties seventies rock and roll. But yeah, you know,
Speaker 21: exploring music like early on, like I found some bands
Speaker 21: like Lucero and just kind of like you know, mostly
Speaker 21: Lucero and Ben Nichols is a huge influence on me. Yeah,
Speaker 21: and uh yeah, I just I've been trying to find
Speaker 21: that voice for a long time, kind of like I've
Speaker 21: always been really into this kind of like alt country
Speaker 21: like but kind of like gravelly like nasty, but like
Speaker 21: it can still be kind of pretty kind.
Speaker 20: Of sound that.
Speaker 21: Yeah, Now, it took me a while to find this voice.
Speaker 21: I've bounced along on different lines of genres. I used
Speaker 21: to be in hardcore punk bands, experimental indie like pixies
Speaker 21: like rock bands, and yeah, so I mean I got
Speaker 21: away from music for a little while, and over COVID,
Speaker 21: I really like went back to like what got me
Speaker 21: into music, Like Credence is a huge one too, Like
Speaker 21: I've always loved John Fogerty's voice, and I just wanted
Speaker 21: to find that voice like through my own filter, you know.
Speaker 21: And during COVID, I had like time to really like
Speaker 21: just sit down, and you know, I played a bunch
Speaker 21: of Creeden songs, Kinks, Rolling Stones, Fleetwood.
Speaker 27: Mac and.
Speaker 21: Then from there I just kind of started writing songs again.
Speaker 20: Yeah, and that's kind of how it happened. And then
Speaker 20: now we're here, I got Lucas with me.
Speaker 21: I always had Merkle, my counterpart who I've been playing
Speaker 21: in bands with since like you know, like late early
Speaker 21: twenties or early late teens. Yeah, and yeah, no, it's
Speaker 21: been a really fun little ride kind of like getting
Speaker 21: back into like feeling what it's like to be in
Speaker 21: a band again.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, so excellent, it's been cool.
Speaker 24: Yeah.
Speaker 19: Yeah, how about you, Lucas In terms of influence, like
Speaker 19: like who influence influences you as far as you're playing.
Speaker 23: Well, I've been into country western music. In my late teens,
Speaker 23: I got into more folk music.
Speaker 14: And some of the.
Speaker 23: Some of the stuff I was playing it was kind
Speaker 23: of folk rock. Been in a few bands around Manchester
Speaker 23: and it was a little more folky oriented. I was
Speaker 23: playing banjo and accordion along with like a solo acoustic
Speaker 23: a little more folk punk sort of stuff, fast and loud,
Speaker 23: but acoustic. But I didn't really care for country music. Yeah,
Speaker 23: I guess I wasn't very familiar. But I found a
Speaker 23: bunch of cassette tapes back in high school and that
Speaker 23: was I only had the cassette in the truck, and
Speaker 23: that just sort of snowballed. I think once I started
Speaker 23: playing with other bands and then really sunk my teeth
Speaker 23: into country music is when I started trying to hone
Speaker 23: it in. And there's so many steel players and you
Speaker 23: can go down a huge list, but Lord helped me.
Speaker 23: If I can remember all the names right, but George Jones,
Speaker 23: Hank Williams Senior, h everything from Buck Owens. Yeah, I
Speaker 23: like a lot of the classics. George and Hank are
Speaker 23: up there on top for me. I'm really into bluegrass too,
Speaker 23: so it's still playing banjo and things like that. So
Speaker 23: we have we have lots of different stuff that I
Speaker 23: think regals could explore. Tost in a little bit like that.
Speaker 23: But our bass player Mike is pretty good at banjo,
Speaker 23: so I think, yeah, surprising trying to Yeah, really good.
Speaker 23: He's got the he's got these hands that are just
Speaker 23: made for it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's really good.
Speaker 20: Really, I didn't know that about him.
Speaker 23: Yeah, he's really good.
Speaker 21: Also a fun fact is that, no shame at all.
Speaker 21: Morgan Wallen is both Lucas and I is number one Spotify.
Speaker 23: Real, Yeah, surprised both of us.
Speaker 20: But a lot of passive listening. It's just I mean,
Speaker 20: it's a great.
Speaker 4: It surprises me.
Speaker 8: Actually, yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 20: It's pretty good.
Speaker 23: As far as like contemporary country stuff, like mainstream country guys,
Speaker 23: it's awesome.
Speaker 8: I will say this.
Speaker 19: So I'm not a big I'm not a big mainstream
Speaker 19: country guy, but I have to say in terms of
Speaker 19: audio production, Nashville has it down.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, you know what I mean, Like, nobody does
Speaker 8: drums better.
Speaker 20: Songs into drugs is my opinion.
Speaker 22: Yeah they are.
Speaker 20: Yeah, they have an addictive quality to them.
Speaker 23: No, it's wild, It's really wild, and I love the
Speaker 23: history of Nashville. Yeah, and the recent uptick in interest
Speaker 23: in country music is really cool. Yeah, but it's some
Speaker 23: of it's like stadium rock really big.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah.
Speaker 23: And the Morgan Wallen stuff is like that too, just
Speaker 23: sonically it sounds so huge, and that's what really drew
Speaker 23: me in, really really drew me in. My my Spotify
Speaker 23: wrapped is Morgan Wallin. And then like the All Stars
Speaker 23: of Bluegrass, it's like Bill Monroe and Stanley Brothers. Yeah,
Speaker 23: pretty much it Yeah, drive By Truckers.
Speaker 20: Was all Yeah, I saw that. Yeah.
Speaker 21: I listened to a lot of this guy, Steven Wilson
Speaker 21: Junior this year, who I'm actually seeing tomorrow in Brighton,
Speaker 21: mass And he's really I'm not familiar with. And then
Speaker 21: I also listening to a lot of Third Eye Blind
Speaker 21: this year.
Speaker 20: Yeah that's good.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 20: Yeah, they were in the top five.

Speaker 19: he's really underrated. I think he's a very very good songwriter.
Speaker 21: And I'm actually seeing them at the end of seven
Speaker 21: or two ilind Yeah, I don't know even Foxwoods, Oh o.
Speaker 8: Kid, I didn't know they were touring. Yeah, I thought
