But wh oh, you gotta sound amazing. That was fantastic. That

was fantastic. If you're just joining us, we have the Pop Farmers here

with us alive in the studio. Here are three three quarters of the Pop

Farmers. Wait, so is it usually four of you when when you play

live? Or does it kind of vary or it's usually four of us?

Yeah? Yeah, sometimes we stuffed free people in just because it's we got

to play some pretty small places. But yeah, which usually a pretty pretty

powerful quartet. Yeah, yeah, no, you guys, You guys sound

fantastic. How long has this project existed? How long has the Pop Farmer's

been around? Do you mean I've been doing the Pop Farmers? Actually,

next year will be our twentieth year. We started in two thousand and five.

Kidd and Tyler came on about ten years ago. Maybe, yeah,

yeah, I my wife did some travel nursing. So when I left,

we were gone for nine months and Tyler took over the bass playing role.

And then when I came back, somebody else quit the band and he decided

to stay. So he's been with us ever since. Oh, very nice,

very plus. You know you know you know him from The Fox and

the Flamingos. Yes, yes, and you were here with litter Tooth litter

Tooth. Yes. It's hard to keep it all straight. There's so many

people in so many different bands all at once. Yeah, Jimmy, are

you in other bands? Now? I'm the only monogamous. He's actually been

the only one that's been in the band all twenty years. That's because no

one else will take me because I was out for nine months, but I

came back. Now. You know what's fascinating about this, so Jimmy is

usually it's the drummer who's in like ten different bands. Yeah. I was

thinking, yeah, yeah, that's that's been my experience doing these interviews.

It's usually, you know, because drummers are in such high demand. I

think you're the first monogamous drummer. Yeah. We love them so much we

won't let them go anywhere else. You just we keep them for ourselves.

Yeah, you see, I can see why Gracie Wright joins us in the

chat room Gray. Yeah, if you have any questions or anything for the

band while they're here at six oh three two five, six oh seven,

you can also, as we said, interact on opine in the Facebook live

chat if you're just joining us on Facebook. By the way, there's no

uh there is no video only audio. Don't know why, but that's okay

because at least it'll allows you to use the chat room. And Jenny's taking

pictures in video, right what and uh you miss you miss see jimmy handsome

Matt said. Oh do you guys? You guys want to play another one?

the pop Farmers live in studio with us, and uh, what you guys

must have a show tonight somewhere I would assume, right, we have one

last night, that's why we're kind of a little groggy. Oh, but

we have two tomorrow. So we're playing nine o'clock, no eleven o'clock,

eleven o'clock in the morning over Haverol, Massachusetts at the Peddler's Daughter. Yeah,

we're playing from eleven to three three, and then we kinda I tail

it over to Nashua Peddler's Daughter and play from seven to ten. Oh wow,

Jimmy is Jimmy keeps track of where we go? I just now is

there? Uh? I assume Saint Patrick says, the one time of year

where you would actually do shows in the morning, right, Yeah, that's

yeah. We don't do too many eleven o'clock. That's why when we when

we booked this and going nine o'clock in the morning, right right after the

night before. Yeah, yeah, very cool. How many, uh,

can you guys even put a number on how many songs? You know?

You probably know like a ton of songs, right, Yeah, our list

is pretty big, but we though invariably we get somebody requested a song and

we don't know it. Really get mad, dude, I know a lot

of songs. I don't know all of it. Tyler deals with them better

than I really, depending on how you ask them. Usually yeah, yeah,

I'm a little more diplomatic, Tyler, we don't. Yeah, somehow

I became the enforcer really, so sorry if I've turned you down, But

we don't know it. We don't know it right right exactly, including the

Irish stuff be well over. It's almost one hundred songs. At least,

we still get you know, people requested Irish songs and we, like I

said, we're a bar band. We play some Irish songs. Yeah,

all of them. Yeah, sometimes people get really snooty about it. Oh

you don't know that song? Like, sorry, I'll learn it for next

thing. Yeah, it's it's a fun day and it's kind of like doing

battle. But it's it's a it's a long slog during the day, so

but it's a good it's a good fight. Yeah, let's see don Sylvia's

in the chat room. Hello. Also, Patrick says, you can't see,

but I'm doing an Irish jig right now. We can always trust pay

He's a good dancer, Gracie says. McKenzie says, hi, Dad to

Jimmie McKenzie. Very nice, very nice. Uh, Diane Uh says I'm

not it's not officially Saint Patti's Day until the pop Farmers play. Oh,

thanks, very nice, very nice. Now you guys do have some original

music and and we'll uh, well, we'll play another studio track a little

bit later. But do you have a have you recorded much or do you

do? You just have a few what you've done? Tyler and I during

the two songs that you're playing. Tyler and I during COVID, we decided

I had like five, five or six songs that I had written pretty much

musically, but I had no words to him. Yeah, So I figured

during COVID we had nothing to do. So I called Tyler and said,

hey, let's go in the studio. So then we called some of our

friends, and we just recorded an album of original songs under the name Moran

Moran instead of Duran Durans over Moran Moran. Oh cool. We called our

buddies and we have got in the boards house studios and Brookline. He beat

Pete Pelliquan. He's he's awesome. He he did all our work and he

it was. It was a great fun. We like I said, we

we would just go in the two of us work on the songs and then

call up our friends and say, hey, can you play whatever on this

song? Yeah, play drums, are played, play bass, and we

actually the first song you played, we actually shipped some of it out to

our friends in California. Our friend Bobo, he played accordion on it.

His wife Tracy played bass, and I think we had a Geo Hennessy she

played violin, so okay, normally we didn't have that. We don't.

I don't know anybody else who plays accordion. So that's called Babo And say

can you play cordion in this? And he did so it was and friends,

Yes, I like that. Yeah, we'll have to check that out.

Very nice, very nice. Did you guys want to play another another

live one for us. We got the pop Farmers here with us live and

studio on this St Patrick Stay weekend. All right, oh yeah, we'll

do another Irishna the band. And before we do, though, I want

to think you give a shadowt our friend Cameron Thomas. He he plays with

the band called the Incidentals, and he led Jimmy this home kit that he

has today. Very cool. Jimmy has a big Neil Pirk kit that has

drums. You wouldn't fit in this room. But no, no, Cameron,

if you listen, some one of those chairs just strap in. We

made him flush. We flip them upside down sometimes the Tommy Lee right,

yeah, how the calm felt fast apprentice to trade. I was bound and

many an hour sweet happiness husband in that sweet little town, till sad misfortune

came over me and forced me to straight from the land, borrow away from

my friends and relieation to follow the black belt in band. Her eyes the

shu like the divs. You think. She was green of the land,

had her hair hung over her should holders, tied up with loove, black

belted band. It was unscolding one evening, not meaning to go very far.

I've been wi a pickles, some dam himself. She was playing a

tree another bar where a mutch she took from a customer and placed the trade

into me and and the low cayman or raised indeed bad luck to mine.

Black belted bang your eyes a slight the diamonds if meant she was queen of

her lad and her hair hung over her should holders tied up with a black

velvet band. Then next morning, before judging jury a trial, I was

said to a peer, and the judge she sent me, young bear,

Hello, my case against you is quite clear, and seven monkeys is your

sentence. You're headed for bondingman plans to borrow away from your friends and relief

to follow the black belted bands her ries they show like the diamonds you think

she was green of the land and her hair hung over her show holders tied

up with a black belted band. So listen to fally, young fellows and

pleading this morning from me. Waitever you're out on the liquor, be lads,

beware of the pretty colleagues, or they'll fill you with whiskey and water

till you're no longer able to stand. And the very next thing is no

last. You're headed in her condis plans her eyes. They show line the

diamonds. You think she was green of her land. She had her hair

hung over her shoe holders tied up with the black velvet band. Her rise.

They show light the diamonds. You think she was green of a land

and her hair hung over her show holders hied up with a black velvet man.

The rise. They shoe like the diamonds. You think she was green

of the land, her hair hung over her show holders hie up with them,

black belding ban hine up with them, black velvet band kind up with

black belding man. Oh, very nice, the awesome. The pop farmers,

the pop farmers are here with us live in studio on this Saturday morning.

By the way, Hello to our friend Melanie Liberty from the great state

of Vermont. She says, because there's no U because the video is not

working. She said, I can't even tell if there are any sturdy beards.

Oh she's missing out. Oh you have no idea, dear, You're

a biggerd name for a band, right that was that was from? Yes,

Yes, there is Atty sturdy beard. Yeah, I'd say all three

of you have sturdy beards. But Dan, yours, yours is by far

the serious would definitely queen yours is the best one in the room. He's

very fond of like, yes, yes, yes. For those who cannot

see, the beard is just about mid chest. Oh, I bet they're

mad now they can't. Yeahs later. Now, when you guys play out,

uh, do you do you have guest musicians come up and play with

you? Because I would imagine you've got people in the scene who also know

like a lot of these classic songs. Probably, yeah, a lot of

times we have we we It's weird because when I lived in Derry there really

wasn't much of a I didn't see much of a music scene. But when

I moved to Greenfield that it's near Milford, and you wouldn't think that Milford

would have a big scene, but it's. The Milford music scene is awesome.

So we have a lot of musical friends in our circle, and whenever

we play, invariably people would jump up with this. Yeah. Yeah,

it's a lot of fun with them. Yeah, a handful of them that

we referred to as honorary Yeah. Yeah, oh very cool, very cool.

Oh, Melanie says, no one likes to tease guys, you go

to the Pop Farmer page, you'll be able to see it. That's right,

that's right. And Gracie uh said Kenzie and I are applauding after every

song from Upstate New York. Very good, very good. Now, when

you guys, what's the longest show you guys have ever played? I would

imagine some of these shows get pretty long, especially with all the songs.

You know, we were talking to Jimmy and I were talking about that.

The other night we did part a private party that we're supposed to be four

hours. It started as four hours, yeah, and then they kept saying

we'll pay you more, so I think it ended up being six hours,

no kidding. We ended up playing all the songs we knew more than once.

But yeah, we ran out of songs at some point. But yeah,

they kept throwing money at us, so I was like, okay,

yeah, yeah, you're paying a plan. Yeah exactly exactly. Now,

what's the do you have a policy in the band as far as because obviously

with these shows with Saint Patrick's Day, there's a lot of alcohol around.

How do you how do you approach that? Do you do you just say

we're not gonna because we don't want to. We carpool and I drive down

and Dan drives me. Yeah. Well, I mean there is a policy.

It's don't feed the drummer beer. Oh okay, he always ends up

with which is a horrible, horrible I mean there's any day of the year,

like I would say, anyone's permitted to drink. Everybody's Irish. Yeah,

I'm riding with Jim, so I'm expecting to drive home, right.

Although when I first when we first started playing, we didn't play. We

didn't play a lot of Irish songs, and I didn't play mandolin at first,

so we were Once we started playing more, I learned to play the

mandolin and our first one of our original pop farmers was a really good mandolin

player, and he was kind enough to teach me some stuff and kind of

let me take over. And I think it was the first Saint Patrick's Dabe,

I think we did. I was still learning to play, and I

forgot how to play mandolin, like halfway through. Guinness did not help.

Yeah, that was a novice and by the time I got down, I

was a beginner. So it was bad. Oh by the way, Patrick

and the Chafrom says hence the name Jimmy three Pints. Yes, all right,

well that's that makes sense. By the ways, is it still the

case in New Hampshire? Because back when I was promoting a lot of shows,

you couldn't have alcohol on stage, and then I heard that that had

changed. Is that true? That changed a few years ago. Change.

It was pretty strict with it for a while. But yeah, it's it's

one of the better things they could have done. Yeah. I mean,

it's fully understandable that, like, as a band, you're technically an employee

of the bar wherever you're playing. Yeah, which makes sense. But I

think it's a it's one of the best decisions, at least for bands,

that they made, because yeah, some of us, like like myself,

no matter what, no matter how times I get on stage, I still

got just the nerves that go oh sure sure yeah yeah. So it helps

that down and and frankly makes a better show. Someone is I think,

why do you keep looking at me drinking? They can't see that, so

probably because your name is But as for it, so long as you know

your limit right right of course? Yeah. We usually tell people the more

the more you as the audience, the more you drink, the better we

sound. But it doesn't work right, and we all know that. I

think I think we've all stumbled over that. As musicians, we've we've all

found our limit. Yeah okay, yeah, A rather tall leprechaun told me

you put on quite the show last Sunday at Great North. Oh right,

yeah, that's right. Yeah, but that was that's a great room.

I love that they hire us once a year, whether they want to or

not. Yeah. Yeah. And the first time the Leprechaun showed up,

I said that these guys everybody sees that guy, right, and it's not

just me, but yeah, we loved Great North. Yeah, yeah we

do, we do too. The Leprechaun is my son. I did not

know that. That's a small world. And yet you're not Irish. I

am Irish. Oh okay, oh that's right. There we'll talk about it.

I'm Irish, but I'm not much of a I've never been much of

a drinker, so not Irish. No, yeah, we'll come to a

Fop Farmer show. Yeah. Years ago, I said, you guys,

remember the uptown tavern on Elm Street. Years ago, when I was promoting

shows there. It was the managers there were constantly on me about you know,

bringing in bands, about you know, making sure they don't drink on

stage, because at that time it was a big deal, and you know,

the liquor commission would come in undercover, and you know, it was

such a it was such a pain, and you know, I'd be reminding

these you know, and I had to be the bad guy because I was

a promoter. So I was constantly reminding these guys, you can't bring that

on stage. You can't bring that on stage. So it's good that it

changed. Yeah, yeah, musician. Inevitably, especially sat back today,

someone will buy the like, sorry, I can't have it on stage,

and then you can change that, Patrick says the chat. That was a

great show at Great North. Oh yeah, very cool. It was a

fun show. Do you guys we want to play another one? Sure?

Yeah. We have the Pop Farmers here with us live in studio this morning.

I always joked at it when you're playing in an Irish bar, and

I'm sure I think it's a rule that you have to play this song,

all right, And we are nothing if not real followers. I don't have

any peers right now, will I've been a wild rover for many a year

and I spent all my money on whiskeys beer, and now I'm returning with

up at place called It's mcgirk's. It's a it's an Irish bar hotel up

in Hampton Beach that we there on Saturday nights in the summer. I don't

know, we're not there as often as we used to be, but we've

been there bear with, We're teen years doing that. So yeah, so

it's a it used to be an Irish bar, but they redid it and

now it's kind of like a tiki bar. So we we sent Irish teaky

got a couple more gigs in March and then we have some private gigs and

then yeah, so we're starting to pick up. We were the last few

months. We haven't had a lot of gigs, but we're picking picking up.

We're gonna rest a little after next week. Yeah. Uh. Diane

and the chat says the Pot Farmers are the most inclusive fun band to see

live. They invite the audience to have fun with them, go see them.

Oh, thank you, don very nice. Melanie is asking what do

you farm? Uh? I assumed it was pop. Yes, we we

get that question a lot of people. I don't often as well. Again

it's probably doesn't help my enunciation, but sometimes people often think we're pot farmers,

but I we and we joked that we were. If we were pot

farmers would make a lot more money, right, press better? But ye,

yeah, it's just the we We we farm rock and roll. That's

what we do. Is that. Who came up with the name that would

be me? We we had we had a long list we were Initially we

were we called ourselves Naughty Pine and and a U G H T y so,

but then that didn't seem to fit us too well. And then we

had a long list. I had a whole long list of names, and

I love I love hearing about rejected band names. Yeah, well my whole

list was rejected. People who know Jimmy know why. But yeah, we

we were playing when we initially started, we were playing a lot of power

pop, you know, like the Smithereens and stuff like that. And so

I wanted to get popped in the in the in the name somehow. And

there was this band called uh beat Farmers. I don't know if you Yeah,

they spelled b E A T Oh, that's cool beat Farmers. So

so on the list, I had pop Farmers, and I thought Jimmy and

l our first founding filether Al carry I thought he would hate the name,

but they both liked it's so weird. We were the pomp Farmers after that.

Oh, very cool. I have to always say pop right right,

very cool, very cool. Where should people go online to keep up with

everything that that you guys have coming up? We have a website, uh

pop Farmers dot com pH g E p op Farmers dot com and we're all

on Facebook. Yeah that's a nice website. Who does your site? That

would be me, thank you, But it's I'm a I'm a website I

love the websites. I need to get better at it, but no,

it's good. It looks good. I like the layout, and I like

that you've got You've got all the shows right on your homepage in a nice

orderly list, which is good. I mean, you know, even just

looking at this stuff, it's even simple things like that. A lot of

people miss, you know, when they're building a website for their band.

So yeah, you can figure that's the thing people want to know is where

you're playing, so right, exactly exactly, yeah, No, it's a

it's a it's a good, good site. Tyler helps a lot with that.

He does. He's our graphic designer. Yeahever we need a flyer or

a poster, he did, if you develop all our logos. We have

three different logos, yeah, and so a lot of it will be my

idea, say, hey, can you make the pop Farmers look like a

Guinness logo? And then he did it, so we one of our logos

looks like a Guinness logo. But then did our little skull and cross bones,

so yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that one. Yeah,

and he does it all with the fox on the flamingos there. Oh yeah,

Yep, yep, absolutely, yeah we were. We still play that

Fox on the Flamingos track Don't Be a Stranger as I Yeah, I'll love

that. Yeah, got the only place you can hear right now. We

haven't released it or anything. Oh really, yeah, show is the only

one you get. I'm sorry, Jenny, I didn't have your really yeah,

sorry, really you're still here conversation. No, I always say,

though, I'm telling you you got to hit with that that you gotta hit

sock. You're you're Fox and the Flamingos also came up in conversation recently because

we were trying to figure out if if it would be possible to do that

in this room, but probably not. We've played smaller stages in here.

Yeah. Yeah, we'd have to. We'd have to figure it out.

We'd have to you know, Brian, So, Brian has a similar kit.

We have time maybe for for one more. Yeah, yeah. We

got to make sure we don't play Gary singing. Yeah, uh, okay,
