5:21 Speaker 4: Good morning morning. Hi, are you very well?

5:24 Speaker 14: Very well? You were saying off air, excuse me, I have my winter voice as many of us do. Oh yeah, so you were saying off air, So this is your your first time doing a radio interview.

5:36 Speaker 4: It is, yeah, baby's first radio interview.

5:38 Speaker 14: Oh, very cool, very cool. Well, welcome and is that the first Excuse me, Well, it's not the first thing that you've had on YouTube, obviously, but this is a brand news single, right, this is relatively Yes, this.

5:51 Speaker 15: Was I released it back in November. Actually, I released this on my birthday November twenty eighth this past which is also Thanksgiving this year.

5:59 Speaker 14: Okay, yeah, very cool. How long have you been? How long have you been active as a singer songwriter.

6:05 Speaker 15: In the area, in the area, So honestly, it's funny because I started when I was eighteen, playing music around like the New England area.

6:14 Speaker 4: Yeah, and for about.

6:17 Speaker 15: Like maybe two years I did it, and then I took a hiatus and traveled and got married and moved to Hawaii, lived there for a little bit and then yeah, and then twenty twenty three I kind of started to back up again. Yeah, so I've been doing this, I guess now is like trying to be a full time career around New England since then.

6:36 Speaker 14: Excellent, excellent. How did we how did we meet? You? Did did you come to us through Eric.

6:42 Speaker 4: Yes, come out, Yes, I thought so.

6:44 Speaker 14: Yeah. Yeah, he's been on the show a bunch of times and he's amazing.

6:46 Speaker 15: Yeah, he's great. He's great. I'm actually going to play a show with him. Oh no, that's okay.

6:51 Speaker 14: What's that? He sends me the most amazing artists. And your voice is just incredibly beautiful to listen to.

6:57 Speaker 4: I really love you, thank you, thank you so much.

7:00 Speaker 14: Absolutely. Where was that recorded?

7:03 Speaker 15: By the way, So that's actually recorded in my home studio, which is just my house. And I worked with a producer in Nashville. Her name is Abby Lauren and worked on this with me, and she recorded the instruments for me at her home studio. Oh okidding, Yeah, so we collabed online. It was just all online.

7:19 Speaker 14: So did you do you did the vocals and guitar, I assume yeah, and then she did everything else. Yeah. No, it's really cool and I would imagine too. I mean, with just the vocals and guitar, it would sound great, you know if it were you know, a little bit stripped down. But the but what she added to it, the texture is really cool, especially since when the song starts, this is just my obsor I overanalyze these things, but when the song starts, you don't necessarily expect to hear those additional elements, so then when they kind of come in, it's like, yeah, that's cool.

7:47 Speaker 14: Yeah, and it sort of elevates the song as it goes. So that's really nice. Now, how Abby Lauren that's her name? Yes, okay, And how did you come to work with her?

7:56 Speaker 16: So?

7:56 Speaker 15: Actually, I found her on a website called sound Better, and I was just trying to look for a producer for that song because that song is very obviously very personal to me, and for my other songs, I actually work with my dad, but this one was a little bit personal, so I wanted to get a little bit of an outside perspective on it, and so I went, Yeah, I went on the website sound Better, and I found her on there, and I messaged her to work with her, and she accepted, and we've collapsed and we're actually clabbing on a new song coming up hopefully soon the next couple of months right now.

8:27 Speaker 4: So I'm excited. She's been great to work with.

8:29 Speaker 14: Oh, excellent, Now sound Better. I feel like I've heard of sites like that, but I don't think i've heard of that one exactly. So is it is it a situation where like you go on there and you you present your music and different producers can kind of yeah.

8:45 Speaker 15: Yeah, so it's kind of like, oh my god, I can't think of the other website that I want to think of right now.

8:51 Speaker 14: I can't because I know the one I'm thinking. Yeah, yeah, it's if.

8:56 Speaker 15: It's kind of like also if you try to find artists to do work for you. It's kind of something like that. And I had just came across it. I just hyped in on Google like producers near me in Boston, and that website came up and I was like, oh, let me check it out. And then her picture was one of the first ones I came up. And I was looking at other ones, but I really was drawn to her and her energy, so you know, I was like, you know what, I'm going to reach out to her and send her my demo and yeah, so if they accept it, they'll let you know and you kind of have to just work through the website.

9:25 Speaker 15: Okay, So that way, like you know, if anything weird happens, like there's some liability there.

9:30 Speaker 14: Yeah, but yeah, yeah that makes sense. So you're gonna work with her on the next one as well.

9:35 Speaker 4: Yes, okay, yes, I'm currently doing that right now.

9:37 Speaker 14: Oh you are?

9:38 Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah?

9:38 Speaker 14: Is it? Is it kind of a similar process where you're doing the vocals and guitar and then she's going to add elements.

9:43 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

9:45 Speaker 15: We'd go on a zoom call beforehand and we kind of talk about, you know, go through the song and talk about like what we want in it and what how do you think it would sound?

9:52 Speaker 14: And yeah, all that so outstanding. Yeah, you mentioned working with your dad, So has your dad also recorded some of your your previous songs.

10:02 Speaker 15: Yes, so my songs Indiana Jones and Memory Lane that I have out as well. He was the one that produced with me on those songs. So he used to be a musician himself. His band in the eighties was called Explicit.

10:16 Speaker 14: Okay, and I that name has come up on the show before.

10:22 Speaker 1: Oh really, it's like Explicit Yeah, okay, there's somebody who has been on the show who either either was in that band.

10:30 Speaker 14: Or had a probably more likely had a parent.

10:35 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, okay, because.

10:36 Speaker 14: I swear that name has come up before. That's interesting.

10:38 Speaker 4: That's so funny.

10:39 Speaker 15: That would be fun I mean, I know that some of the band members do live around here, so I'm not surprised.

10:44 Speaker 4: That did come up.

10:45 Speaker 14: It makes sense.

10:45 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so he used.

10:47 Speaker 15: To be in that band, and then you know, I kind of came along and he stopped music for a while to you know, support the family. And when I, like, I had some interest in doing music, he was obviously super excited and he started working on these songs with me as well. And he also plays like the instruments and stuff too, and yeah, so it's been a learning process with us both for that as well.

11:08 Speaker 14: What he does, he play guitar, he does, he.

11:11 Speaker 15: Plays guitar, He does a lot of like keyboards. I was I think his main instrument was keyboard.

11:16 Speaker 4: He was in the band. He doesn't do any of the singing, so I didn't get that from him.

11:20 Speaker 15: I did get that from my mom, who's I think listening right now, So shout out to my mom. Okay, but yeah, I got my singing from her and the instruments from him.

11:28 Speaker 14: Yeah. Well, coming from a musical family, yeah, it was bound to you know that, you would.

11:33 Speaker 4: It was bound to stick at some point.

11:34 Speaker 14: Yeah, No, that's cool. Did he teach you how to play guitar? Or did you take lessons or did you learn on your own?

11:41 Speaker 4: So he bought me my first guitar when I was five years old.

11:44 Speaker 15: There's some videos of me like trying to play obviously not doing it very well, like.

11:48 Speaker 4: An electric little mini red Fender guitar.

11:51 Speaker 15: Yeah, and then around twelve years old, since I was still expressing really interest in wanting to learn, they put me in some lessons.

11:58 Speaker 14: Okay, yeah, okay, yeah. Do you like, when did you start writing your own songs? Do you know around what age you?

12:07 Speaker 8: Yeah?

12:08 Speaker 15: So around also twelve years old is when I started writing lyrics to songs. I was going through a lot of you know, just stuff in my home life and you know, in my personal life and everything, and I didn't really know how to express my feelings. So actually I learned from my favorite band, whose Life House, And they've been my favorite band for a long time. The singer would say that his therapy was writing music. Okay, So because they were such an idol to me, that was like, all right, let me try that.

12:39 Speaker 15: So I started writing lyrics just to kind of get my feelings out of like you know, home stuff, personal stuff, and then maybe like boys or whatever, you know, just like small twelve year old things, and it kind of grew with me as I got older, and it's now a therapy to me.

12:52 Speaker 4: I don't think I could live without doing it.

12:54 Speaker 14: Yeah, do you remember the first song you ever wrote?

12:58 Speaker 15: Oh boy, I actually the first song I ever wrote with music attached to it, because I for a long time I just wrote lyrics and like, maybe someday I'll go back to those. But yeah, I think the first song I ever wrote with music was about a boy that I liked in eighth grade. And there's still a video of me, Like I didn't post it anywhere. Yeah, there's still a video I have of me on my computer singing that song because I was gonna try and be.

13:23 Speaker 4: Brave, but I'm kind of glad I didn't.

13:25 Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm trying to remember now Life House, what was their big breakout hit? When when they because I remember Life House or yeah, I can't, but I'm drawing a blank on what they what? When when did they get big? Like early two thousands?

13:41 Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, it was like the like two thousand, like two thousand and two thousand and one. Their first hit was Hanging by a Moment.

13:47 Speaker 14: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah it was it was in It was in there, but I couldn't quite recall. Okay, so that was their big breakout, but they had they had other hits, right yeah.

13:57 Speaker 4: They You and Me was another huge hit for them back in like two thousand and five.

14:01 Speaker 14: Yeah yeah, okay.

14:04 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, First Time was a big hit.

14:07 Speaker 14: Yep. I remember that one now.

14:08 Speaker 8: Yeah.

14:09 Speaker 15: Yeah, so very much like in the two thousand, between two thousand and twenty ten, like they had their like prime yeahs yeah yeah.

14:15 Speaker 14: Are they still together?

14:18 Speaker 15: No, I don't think they're like they never said they broke up per se. But I know the lead singer, Jason Wade, does do solo shows right now. I actually just went to his solo show back in November. I think he played in was its Massachusetts somewhere I forget exactly where it was, but it was awesome.

14:34 Speaker 4: Honestly.

14:34 Speaker 15: It was such an intimate show too, Like he just had him and his guitar and his other bandmate and his guitar and just oh cool saying songs that we knew and it was really awesome.

14:42 Speaker 14: Do they do just Life House?

14:44 Speaker 17: Yeah?

14:45 Speaker 15: And then he has his own solo stuff as well that he's been doing.

14:48 Speaker 14: So did you get to meet him.

14:49 Speaker 4: I've met him a few times.

14:51 Speaker 15: Actually, yeah, I have been able to tell him that he's been an inspiration to me and his songs have been, you know, helpful for me going through my life.

14:59 Speaker 4: So that's awesome. And he's so nice, super nice. Yeah, that's cool, and that's.

15:03 Speaker 15: Such an inspiration to me as well as being a musician myself, you know, like having those experiences and meeting your idols as musicians, because sometimes you know, it's not good to meet your idols, but I thankfully had such a great experience with them that it's shaped me for sure.

15:17 Speaker 14: No, that's really good. Yeah, because they you know, they always say, don't meet your heroes. Yeah, but sometimes it actually does turn out well.

15:23 Speaker 15: Yeah, so far I've had some good experiences, so hopefully that keeps going.

15:28 Speaker 14: That's awesome. Now do you play? So you play guitar? Do you play anything in addition to guitar?

15:35 Speaker 15: No, right now, just guitar. I am learning piano. I do wish I was better at piano. I kicked myself sometimes for not learning earlier. But yeah, yeah, so kind of just guitar, singing, writing, Yeah, yeah.

15:47 Speaker 14: And when you play out, is it always just you or do you have does anyone join you?

15:52 Speaker 4: No, it's it's just me.

15:53 Speaker 15: Yeah, even like bringing my own equipment inside. Actually, I had some really nice people last night who I played at the steelhel Resort at their Tova tavern, the little bar area it's like up near Laconia. I had this really awesome group of people will help me bring my equipment outside after the show, because usually it's just me carrying all my heavy stuff. I'm just like, all right, yeah, I'm to go now, you know. But they were like, we can't watch you bring these out by yourself.

16:19 Speaker 4: We're going to help you.

16:19 Speaker 15: And I loved That's so so nice. I just I'm so thankful for people like that.

16:24 Speaker 14: Yeah, that is really cool. How much how many songs do you have in terms of original material, like when you go to play live, how many do you have to play?

16:34 Speaker 4: I've quite a bit.

16:34 Speaker 15: I'd say I have probably like twelve ready. Obviously I don't have that many out right now as I'm like currently working on the process of recording those.

16:43 Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, i'd say about twelve thirteen.

16:46 Speaker 14: Maybe do you do you must do some covers you would imagine, Oh, of.

16:49 Speaker 15: Course, yeah, I do definitely mostly covers just because you know, it's good to play what people know. Yeah, and then I try to put in at least like three or four of my original songs in there as well.

17:00 Speaker 14: What do you do for covers? I'm always curious because I've always my theory has always been you can kind of learn a lot about someone's influences by the covers that they play.

17:09 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, oh my god.

17:10 Speaker 15: I'd say it's a range, but definitely early two thousands, kind of like you know, the lifehouse type genre, you know, like stuff that was popular like Coldplay, Lifehouse, Nickelback, which I know people have some mixed feelings on Nicleback. I personally thought they were a great band. Yeah, Taylor Swift obviously, and like, you know, some of the new stuff from like Sabrina Carpenter and all that, and then some country in there as well. I try to really do a good mix, but a lot of popular songs that people will be like, oh, I forgot about this one.

17:38 Speaker 14: Yeah. Yeah. Nickelback does get a lot of hate, and yeah, they have for a long time. And it's but it's almost like it's it's almost like it's not real, like like at a certain point it just became cool.

17:49 Speaker 4: Yeah, Nickelback, it was a Vandwagon thing for sure.

17:52 Speaker 14: Yeah. It's like, uh, but sometimes too, these things kind of come around. Like I remember, not not that long ago, when it was cool to hate to hate limp biscuit. Yeah, yeah, and now it's like cool to like limp biscuits. Yeah.

18:06 Speaker 15: It's kind of like the trends right, Like they're clothing trends too, where something was cool back in the day and then people made fun of it and then it starts to get become cool again. It's in thrift stores and you know, everyone's like, oh, I need that new thing right right.

18:19 Speaker 14: Yeah? Now, what are your kind of your your long term plans and goals have you Do you plan to tour? Do you plan to find that?

18:29 Speaker 18: Yeah?

18:29 Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm curious and I don't know if you've thought that far. I mean sometimes when you're you know, when you're working as a musician, sometimes you almost can't plan too far ahead because things are so unpredictable.

18:40 Speaker 15: But yeah, yeah, honestly I do try to think about it, but then I also try not to think about it too much, yeah, because then I'll get in my own head.

18:48 Speaker 4: If like maybe a timeline thing didn't happen quite yet. Yeah, but of course I would love to tour.

18:53 Speaker 15: That's like my big goal is to tour on my original music and to have an audience for my original music. That's always been my goal since I started doing music. Yeah, so that would be awesome and amazing for sure.

19:05 Speaker 14: Yeah. Who is kind of your your dream like national act to tour with? Like do you have do you have somebody in mind who you'd really love to open for?

19:14 Speaker 4: Noa Kan for sure?

19:16 Speaker 14: I'm not sure who that is.

19:17 Speaker 15: Oh, he's from Vermont and New Hampshire. Actually he grew up in oh, I think Upward, New Hampshire, I forget the town. But then he moved to Vermont and his newest album is called Sixth Season and it's talking about basically living in New England and living in Vermont and stuff, and.

19:33 Speaker 14: Oh, we gotta get him on the show. Noa Khan I.

19:37 Speaker 15: Mean yeah, he's gotten pretty big recently. He actually played at Fenway last year. Yeah, and it was an amazing show. I went to that.

19:43 Speaker 4: But yeah, oh my god, if I could open for Noa Kon that would be great.

19:46 Speaker 9: Yeah.

19:48 Speaker 14: Uh, any anybody else you kind of have in mind? Who you'd like to open for.

19:52 Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know.

19:53 Speaker 15: I mean obviously there's some amazing you know musicians around New Hampshire as well, Like I would love to play a show with like Rebecca Termol. You know, I'm gonna be I think playing a show with Katie Dobbins because I know she's awesome too.

20:03 Speaker 14: Oh very cool. Yeah, she's she's been so I haven't seen her in probably two or three years, but she's she's been on the show a couple of times. And Rebecca Turmel she was on maybe six months ago, okay, and she's yeah, she's amazing.

20:16 Speaker 15: Yeah, And I think I'm playing a show in April Aprily Teeth. I want to say, with Temple Mountain too, so I'll be opening for an active HST.

20:23 Speaker 4: So that'll be cool.

20:24 Speaker 15: But any like national ones, I don't know. I feel like I like a lot of people that are really big. I guess I could dream big, but you know, sometimes like I don't know, but I know there's this artist in uh I think based in Los Angeles.

20:37 Speaker 4: Her name is Blue Eyes, Okay, and I get a.

20:40 Speaker 15: Lot of my inspiration from her music too, And I you know, she was doing some tour with Hunter Hayes. I want to say opening for him, So, I mean that would be really cool because I love her stuff too.

20:50 Speaker 14: Yeah, when you do play out, do you are you able to, like, do you get out of New England at all?

20:56 Speaker 4: Or are you not yet? I would love to.

20:59 Speaker 15: I've been looking at actually recently and like obviously Nashville to see if there's like some things I could try and you know, kind of dip my toes in in there. I know it's a huge, big world over there. Yeah, but I would love to go down in Nashville.

21:12 Speaker 14: Yeah, a lot of our guests have done that, and and the stories and the experiences they have are generally positive, because I would imagine it would be intimidating, you know, yeah, oh yeah, but most people seem to find it pretty more welcoming than they necessarily expect. And I would yeah. Yeah. And the producer that that you're you've been working, I'm sorry, what was her name?

21:36 Speaker 8: Abby?

21:36 Speaker 4: Lauren?

21:37 Speaker 14: Abby Lauren?

21:37 Speaker 19: Yes?

21:38 Speaker 14: Has she has? She talked to you about that, like trying to get you to go down there a little bit.

21:42 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean she's definitely.

21:43 Speaker 15: I asked her some advice, you know, and she said that I you know to do a lot more like Singer Songwriter Nights and a lot more of that kind of stuff. And yeah, I haven't asked her the exact places, but I probably should, yeah, to see, like if she recommends anywhere I can try, you gotta go.

22:01 Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, no doubt. I think we should play. So you've got more. You've got a couple of other songs online, and I think we should play this because partly because I'm curious to ask you about it. Sure, Indiana Jones, Yeah, tell us about this song because obviously, you know, people know Indiana Jones before the movie. And yeah, you know, I'm old enough to remember when I was a kid, my dad took me to see the original Indiana Jones movie Lot of Stark. Yeah, yeah, but tell us about this song.

22:31 Speaker 15: So, yeah, Indiana Jones. Well, you know the name is has the movie involved. It is not really about the movie, but it did take inspiration from the movie. Okay, So the the part of the movie which is the most popular part where you know, Indy goes into the tomb and he takes the artifact and he replaces it with the bag.

22:47 Speaker 4: Of sand yep.

22:48 Speaker 15: I kind of related that to how time takes things from people in your life and tries to kind of replace it with something else, but nothing could ever truly fill that void.

22:58 Speaker 4: You know.

22:58 Speaker 15: It's like if someone from your life, right and maybe like a friend or something, and maybe you meet another friend later on in life, they kind of remind you of that friend. They kind of start feeling that, not say feeling the place, but you know, kind of reminding you of how that friend made you feel.

23:12 Speaker 4: But it's never going to truly feel that void.

23:14 Speaker 15: And I feel like time does that with a lot of things, where it takes things from you and a lot of things change. And during that I thought that it's always nice to kind of think of things that say the same, like it's always going to rain, the sun's always going to come out in the same way. The song that you heard back in nineteen ninety nine still sounds the same to this day, you know, so you kind of have to pick out the things that are saying the same to help you go through the change in your life.

23:40 Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of what that's about, No.

23:42 Speaker 14: And that's very relatable. And I think too, you know, you mentioned like a song you heard back in ninety nine. I mean, that's that's very relatable for people. I think that's a big part of why. I mean, it's funny. I was saying to somebody just recently. There are some things I'll hear that I liked a long time ago, and some things I'll hear that I liked a long time ago, and I'll go, wow, I used to like that, really, but yeah, But then there's other things you know, that I'll hear that I liked a long time ago, that I'll hear them now and I love them as much as the first time I heard them, Right, And I think that, and I think that's kind of part of what.

24:16 Speaker 4: You're Oh, yeah exactly.

24:17 Speaker 14: Yeah, I think, And I think music is probably the single greatest example of that. You know, you hear, you hear something you love from a long time ago, and it's it's there's almost a comfort to it.

24:27 Speaker 4: Yeah exactly.

24:28 Speaker 15: And that's kind of what that's about, just kind of find comfort in that.

24:31 Speaker 14: Very cool, very cool. All right, So let's give this a spin. So this is called Indiana Jones And if you are just joining us, kat Ivy is here with us live in studio, and uh, let's give this a listen.

25:00 Speaker 8: To manage.

25:03 Speaker 7: Everything, Rolly knows a nice.

29:00 Speaker 8: Joy Joe.

29:31 Speaker 14: And that is kat Ivy who is here with us in studio on this Saturday morning. And yeah, very cool song. Are people able to.

29:40 Speaker 16: Do?

29:40 Speaker 14: People ever talk to you about the song and kind of know without you explaining it.

29:45 Speaker 19: What the.

29:47 Speaker 23: You know, I don't really know.

29:48 Speaker 15: I do when I play out, I like to kind of give a little brief of, you know, what I'm singing, especially since people don't know my music mostly, and I want to give away for them to connect to it, you know, especially if they're hearing it for the first time. Yeah, but I also love to leave it up to interpretation, you know. I would love to have someone listen to my song and maybe put it into their own life, even if it's not at all what I wrote it about, if they can relate to it in any way.

30:13 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's my you know, that's my dream.

30:16 Speaker 14: No, that's cool. I've always thought when uh, you know, if I really, if I really love a song and it means something to me, and then I hear I don't know if this has ever happened to you, But when I hear that, I hear the person who wrote it explain it, and it turns out that what they had in mind was something completely different from what it means to me. There's that there's that weird sensation of oh right, you know, and then and it shouldn't be like that because it doesn't matter because art is subjective anyway.

30:43 Speaker 4: Exactly.

30:44 Speaker 14: Everything is whatever it means to you. That's what it means to you, exactly. But I but I've always kind of had that since I was a kid, like on the and it's not like it happens much, but on those rare occasions where someone explains the song and it's like, oh really.

30:56 Speaker 15: Yeah, you're like, wait a minute, that wasn't at all what I thought that was, and you know, it does. I feel, as much as you don't want it to, it does kind of tarnish it a little bit for you, you know, and you know that's not what I want to do. But you know, being such a smaller artist right now, I think it's important to kind of try and make those connections with people, explaining where I'm coming from and hoping that you know, I don't.

31:20 Speaker 14: Have to do it so much soon, right right right exactly. So you're working on so do you have plans to I know, because you're already working on the that's in progress right the next song that you're doing. Yeah, I have a mental Lauren Abby, Lauren have this mental block with her name. Do you have what's kind of the long term plan as far as releasing music, Do you plan to do an album or are you gonna keep doing singles?

31:45 Speaker 8: Yeah?

31:46 Speaker 15: So actually I'm hoping to you know, the songs that I have Indiana Jones, Memory, Lan and Autumn, and then the songs that I'm currently working on. I'm hoping to create an EP called Nostalgia, okay, and I have about I think two more, so I'm working on one with her and I'm working on one with my dad currently, so I'm working on two right now. Yeah, and those two are going to complete the EP called Nostalgia, which you know, nostalgia has been a huge part of my life, like growing up, especially being in your twenties.

32:14 Speaker 15: It's kind of that weird transition from being a younger kid to adulthood, so you're like, what do I do now, you know, and you have a lot of like, oh, I miss those times when I.

32:23 Speaker 14: Was a kid.

32:24 Speaker 15: Things were easier, you know, especially in the world right now. Sometimes it's like you go to a nostalgia for a comfort a lot, and I feel like that happened to me. So that's why I am naming this one nostalgia.

32:35 Speaker 14: Okay, Okay, Yeah, No, that's cool. Do you are you also planning to continue to do the solo acoustic performances or do you ever think about maybe having a some sort of backup band or anything like.

32:50 Speaker 15: That, or yeah, I mean, of course, you know, solo is where I do thrive. But I would love to have a backup band. I would love to, especially like going on a tour or something. I would love to have a little bit of extra support and you know, to be able to kind of put on a show, because you do get a little limited when it's just you, right, right, And I think that would be so fun.

33:10 Speaker 4: I would love to have a band to go on tour withs But it looks like too.

33:13 Speaker 14: It's liberating in a way at the same time when it's just you because you don't have to worry about anybody else's schedule.

33:19 Speaker 4: Right and all that, right, and it is just relying on yourself.

33:23 Speaker 14: I've always wondered what that would be like because I used to you know, like you know, your dad played in a band. I used to play in a lot of bands, but I never I was never in a situation where I just did a solo thing, so I've never experienced what it's like when you're just kind of when when you you know, not having to check with you know, okay, is this person available for this show? All that, and you know, and of course too when it's just you, it opens up I think more places that you can play because obviously a lot of places you can't have a full.

33:52 Speaker 4: Band, of course.

33:53 Speaker 5: Yeah.

33:53 Speaker 15: And you know, obviously being in yourself, you make the decisions, and you know, it's like if something goes bad on you, you know, or something goes great, it's on you too. And you know, but I would also sometimes going into performances or anything like that, sometimes like oh I kind of wish I had like a partner, yeah, you know, just to be like if I'm nervous, at least I have a little bit of like a support or someone there. But I think it feels character to do it by yourself.

34:20 Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, no doubt. When you uh, do you do long like three hour shows where you do a lot a lot of covers?

34:28 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's mostly that's mostly.

34:31 Speaker 8: What you're doing.

34:31 Speaker 14: Yeah, No, that's good though. It's good experience and it's yeah, you make some good money doing that, so that's that's excellent. Do you do you ever have an opportunity to do shows where it's more like almost like a listening room type thing. We're we're able to just focus on the original music.

34:47 Speaker 15: Yeah, so that's what I'm doing with Temple Mountain. On April eighteenth, We're doing I think the Prayers of Nature listening room.

34:53 Speaker 14: Fantastic, they were they were here last week.

34:56 Speaker 4: Okay, that's awesome.

34:57 Speaker 15: Yeah, we're doing that on April eighteenth, so that'll be exciting, excellent.

35:03 Speaker 15: Maybe singer songwriter things come in the way. You know, it hasn't been announced yet, so I don't want to say it pretty mamture.

35:09 Speaker 14: Oh okay, okay, but some good stuff coming, yeah, I'm hoping. So yeah, excellent, excellent. Where should people go online to keep up with everything that you're doing?
