He was in a band with my brother called Atomic when I was eight years old, and Sean and I had never rehearsed that song ever, so when we got into the studio, we had to record it all live. Oh wow, I had all three tracks recorded and when he came in, we never recorded any of it to a metronome. And oh he acknowledged that very quickly, and he threw away all three tracks pretty quickly also and started over from scratch.

8:32 Speaker 3: But he absolutely slayd it on the drums. Yeah, without any rehearsal, nothing. He just came into the studio and I threw the riff at him and he just did it. I don't know how it came together like that. Oh that's incredible. Yeah, and thank you. Fletch.

Every night he's in there. He knows all the songs, he knows all the lyrics. That's great. He came home one day singing four non blondes from school. Yeah, and I was like, all right, well, I guess I gotta learn that song. It's a pretty cool song. And I go out and people love it. Yeah, you know, you play that tune and people just go bersark and oh, no doubt, no doubt it does.

14:18 Speaker 3: So he's seen you play live. Obviously. He came out with me Wednesday night. We're at the Brick House and Dover, and I want to give a huge shout out to the brick House and Dover real quick. If you don't mind. Oh, absolutely great. Let's see right over here. Brick House and Dover. I played over there. I was the featured artist Ryan lavasor if I said that right, I'm sorry Ryan if I didn't. He made me the featured artist for March and he gave me an hour set at the open mic over there. Wow, excellent.

14:49 Speaker 3: Everybody showed up. We packed the house. It was out to the door. They're bringing chairs from upstairs. Downstairs because people didn't have enough seats. Nice. It was just killer like touched my heart. Like the middle Man band came. Those guys are fantastic rock band. Soul Color was there, the other Broken Ones with my friend Anthony Saint Peter, my great friend Jim Callery aka Jkel, Holly Furloan, who has one of the best female voices on the East Coast. Yeah, she said she's been up here before.

15:18 Speaker 3: I think it was cool because she gave me some tips. Okay, I'm coming in. She's like, don't bring your ramp, you don't need, don't hook you up right, Yeah, they were right.

15:27 Speaker 10: She was right.

15:28 Speaker 3: Yep, thank you, Holly, my buddy Jimmy Gray, Hen Doggie and his crew, King Polo, who couldn't make it, but King Polo. He's a hip hop artist out of Rochester and he has been a huge help for me.

15:40 Speaker 5: He's been on he's been on the station.

15:42 Speaker 2: By the way, he's never been on I don't think he's never been on this show, but but years ago he was a guest on the Morning Show with Peter White.

15:47 Speaker 3: I definitely recommend you get him up here because he's a great dude. He helps so many musicians, and like in a time where I thought like I was just failing, he was like, nope, You're coming to keene Fest with me. You're doing porch Fest. You're doing this, You're killing it, You're doing it. He was awesome. Nice, Thank you, King Pull. I actually was on his album Wavy Baby two track number eleven, the Wave, and I played a little bit of guitar right in the center of it.

16:11 Speaker 10: It was really cool.

16:12 Speaker 14: Yeah.

16:13 Speaker 3: Nice. And then huge shout out to Devin Rose Outwood who got me on ninety eight point nine w CLZ. It was the first time I was ever on the radio. Oh, very cool. Yeah, so awesome, awesome, I think that's it from the breckout. Sorry, it was huge. It was such a huge night. If you were there, you know what I'm talking about. A vibe like I've never seen. It was crazy. That's awesome. Congratulations on that. Yeah, thank you.

16:37 Speaker 5: And then so the EP Breaking Waves. This is this is pretty new right a month.

16:43 Speaker 3: Yeah. In fact, this time last year, I couldn't sing and play a guitar at the same time really at all, no kidding, I'd start playing. I've been playing the guitar for twenty years. I was in a band called Mystic Golf. You can find on all streaming platforms if you look up Nathan Hill Miss Stick Golf g u LF. That was when I was twenty two years old, so that was over half my life here.

17:06 Speaker 10: Yeah.

17:07 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I just played rhythm guitar and Dave Habith, who was probably the inspiration for me playing all these guitars. I always wanted to do it. He made it happen. Love you, Dave. He was one of the best shritters I've ever heard in my life. And in fact, if you find the song Nathan Hill Emerald Mystic Golf, you're gonna hear the best guitar solo that you've ever heard in your life. Dave could light a guitar on fire. And we were twenty years old. Yeah, and like I quit way too early. I will say that you quit way too early.

17:41 Speaker 3: Kicked me out and told me I was horrible, way too early. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I got kicked out. Oh I s U c K D. But I love you guys anyway, And Dave went on to be a really successful guy. You went to Berkeley. He was just a fantastic music and talented, talented guy. He makes films now and I love the guy. We reunited about a year ago and got to play some guitars together and it was like, wow, this was way too long before we made that happen, but we made it happen, so that's cool. That's cool. And where did you record the EP?

18:18 Speaker 3: I recorded it at my friend studio called Studio Pink. And the Studio Pink was a spare bedroom that was pink when they moved in. And yeah, yeah, you know, my friend is just a genius. I'm just going to say his name, Josh. Yeah, he doesn't want it, but really, I just he just got it. So he's in a band called Attack the Boredom and he does all of it himself. Attack the Boredom check it out online at b uh. He does it all himself and it's like it's crazy music. Yeah, he doesn't get it out to the world enough, and I wish he would because it's amazing what he does.

19:05 Speaker 3: But you know, he has helped me out, probably just about more than anybody. And he has a way of finding the best things, the things that I do best and exploits them. And that's what makes me so successful. On these albums. It's like for example, in Shadow of the Unknown, one of the lyrics at the beginning of it, when I wrote it out, was my footprints do not follow, And all he did was change my to where and it just sounded a million times better. So he changed one lyric in the song that you know. It's just little things.

19:48 Speaker 3: Yeah, And so he's like a producer, recorder, musician. I do not want to fight with him on a guitar. It just wouldn't end up great for me better.

20:00 Speaker 5: Oh wow, we'll have to get him on the show.

20:02 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a song that we did together that I sent you the file for. It's mind Reader and Josh is the singer and that said it again, he's the singer in it, and Sean Fletcher is the drummer in it. And that song you have to listen to and you can't find it on any of the streaming platforms.

20:25 Speaker 10: Yet.

20:26 Speaker 3: You can only find that one on YouTube. And we Josh made a little cheese. I keep doing it. We're going to air those out my eight second. Why doesn't he want credit because he's just oh humble. Yeah, he's just a humble, great guy, and I just I don't know. He did it for a long time. He went on a lot of stages and he just shredded it out and just did it for a long time. YEA, unbelievable. And you know, just a lot of energy you got to put into this thing. And there's a lot of there's a you know, a lot of these musicians are going out and they're not getting any money to It's very very hard.

21:11 Speaker 3: I don't remember getting any money anytime. It's very very difficult. Yeah, I don't think this guitar is paid for yet now I hear that. Yeah, it's a tough racket, you know. And he'd rather just stay home and make some killer music by himself and don't have to go through the headache of getting everybody together at one time. And it's a it's a hard thing. And I respect all these bands that are out there doing it because I started singing out of necessity.

21:44 Speaker 8: You know.

21:44 Speaker 3: I couldn't really find that right band I was in and out of five bands that I tried out for last yeard, Yeah, and it just wasn't the right fit every time. I didn't really want to be in a cover band. I didn't want to be in a screaming heavy metal band. A couple of those. I was just like, it's not me. Yeah, I'm rock and roll, I'm not metal.

22:03 Speaker 10: I'm not.

22:06 Speaker 3: Super laid back either. I don't know. I'm just like in the middle of it.

22:10 Speaker 10: Yeah.

22:10 Speaker 2: So so ultimately you arrived at I guess where you were destined to be in the sense that now you're doing your own thing. It's crazy and you're and you're singing and you're playing, and you're doing it at all, and it seems like it's pretty fulfilling, right.

22:23 Speaker 3: I wasn't expecting this out of the CP. I knew it was good because like I listened to it five thousand times. Yeah, and I was so itching to share it with people, but I couldn't because I knew we were trying to release it as the EP. Yeah, and I'm like at the gym and like listening to I'm like, man, breaking Waves is just good.

22:41 Speaker 10: Yeah.

22:41 Speaker 3: Yeah, And like that was the first one that we had done YEP, and then we got Shallow done, which is the third track at the end, and uh, I don't know. I listened to those two songs probably a million times. You get sick of them, sure, And I know it was just me, but like I would have gotten sick of it, if it was terrible right, or if like if there was a bunch like I listened to him, and I don't hear the notes that I didn't want to hit. Yeah, I don't hear the mistakes that I just love it. Yeah, yeah, I can't believe what Josh did do it.

23:13 Speaker 3: Yeah, he killed it. Studio Pink, you're the best.

23:16 Speaker 12: There you go.

23:17 Speaker 5: Is he actively taking on other clients to record.

23:20 Speaker 3: Or he has friends? It's you got to be a close friend. Okay, Okay, that's it.

23:25 Speaker 10: Yeah.

23:26 Speaker 3: I mean it's too bad he doesn't open a giant studio and do this. We didn't master the CD, we didn't send it into a mastering place. This was all him.

23:39 Speaker 10: Wow, this guy is.

23:41 Speaker 3: I can't say enough good things, but you can say more and ye just spread the word about what he does, because whatever he does for me is just right on the money. I just want to go kick in his door right now, start recording songs coming over right after him.

23:57 Speaker 10: Off there.

23:58 Speaker 2: I know you're listening, by the way, also listening to Jay Bellow from the band Chasing the Devil is in the chat room, says shout out king morning boys. Jay has been a big supporter of this show and what we do here for a long time. So we recently did the world radio premiere of the new Chasing the Devil track. Uh, Morning Star really really good?

24:18 Speaker 3: We should?

24:18 Speaker 15: Uh?

24:19 Speaker 3: Do you want to play an I'm dying here? You play some more? You want to play another one? Another one here? Why don't we? I? The funny thing is is Josh never could sing and play this on the guitar, and I wanted to bring it out, So I'll do mind reader. Okay, yeah, this is the hard one to find its rarity.

24:36 Speaker 16: Okay, hats interested my mind to see what I would change?

25:04 Speaker 4: Oh me.

25:07 Speaker 7: The false mind condemn and my words.

43:22 Speaker 2: What are your what are your future plans as far as recording do? Do you plan to do another EP? Or are you gonna do an album or what like? Have you thought that far ahead?

43:31 Speaker 3: Or what I'd really like to do is probably do maybe a longer EP next time, maybe do like five songs. Yeah, get mind reader onto it because I want We work so hard on that song too. Like the studio version is ridiculous. Yeah, like the guitar like Josh kind of kicked in a little bit on it. I played the solos and I played, like, you know, eighty five percent of the guitar riffs, and I wrote the guitar riffs, but he added his frizzle to it. Yeah, and I'll tell you the song is just hot. It didn't get enough attention at all because we put it on YouTube and it's like I was Nate Hill a year ago.

44:08 Speaker 3: Like I'm a little more popular now. Yeah, but like back then, I was almost nobody, you know, like a year ago. Yeah, I'm still nobody, but I'm glad to be here.

44:19 Speaker 10: Man.

44:19 Speaker 3: I don't protest to be like, you know, like the greatest. I don't none of that. I'm just having fun. I'm trying to make some kick ass music. Oh sorry, Oh no, you can say that, all right, Cool, you can say geez. I know it's hard. It's hard to know what the where the lines are good music. Yeah, I'm just trying to make some good music.

44:40 Speaker 9: Uh.

44:41 Speaker 3: You know, ultimately, i'd like to stop breaking my back do some gigs, you know. Like I said, I can do a lot of covers. I just started singing in August, so I haven't written more than five songs yet.

44:52 Speaker 12: Oh.

44:52 Speaker 3: I'm working on the next ones now. But you know, like I said, I never sang before. So yeah, was just learning a bunch of cover songs to get the field for singing and just like get the timing and the rhythm. And now the songs are starting to write themselves a little bit better.

45:10 Speaker 5: Are you in terms of singing? Are you self taught?

45:15 Speaker 3: I didn't. I never took a lesson my friend Barbara, who's awesome. I went over her house one day and I had multiple people telling me I should just stick the guitar, don't keep singing. Really, your voice sounds terrible, don't keep going. Oh my god. Oh I mean this is just months ago where people are telling me I just don't do it.

45:39 Speaker 10: Wow?

45:40 Speaker 3: Stop no, multiple I mean I could, I could.

45:44 Speaker 10: You don't even know me.

45:45 Speaker 5: Wow.

45:46 Speaker 3: Yeah, like that just like like that gives you anybody the inspiration. I got kicked out of bands, told I sucked, you know, don't keep singing whatever, Yeah, screw everybody. Yeah, just keep going. Well, yeah, good for you, because because you love it. Yeah, and you're proving them all wrong. You're trying to you are like, this isn't it. I just want to keep going for it. I want the next thing is to be bigger and better. That's how I you know.

46:15 Speaker 2: Yeah, but that that says something really good about you that you know, in the face of that, you just you keep going. You push through it, because you know a lot of people don't. They're they're told, you know, they're not good enough, and they say, Okay, I guess I'm not good enough.

46:28 Speaker 3: You know what I believe the people too.

46:29 Speaker 12: Yeah.

46:30 Speaker 3: Really, you know who you are, because some of you bastards are probably listening. Nana Nana boo boo. That's what I got to say. Yeah, I'm just kidding. There's probably still people out there that still think the same thing, so that's fine.

46:47 Speaker 2: Well, but there's also probably people who are listening who told you that, who are who are happy to be proven wrong, you know what I mean. Yeah, sometimes it's nice to be proven wrong if you if you doubt somebody and then they they prove you wrong, and you say, oh wow, they did have it and I was wrong.

47:01 Speaker 3: I'm glad I was wrong, you know what I mean. Yeah, But it's cool now I'm getting more people to jam with and hang out with. And this this Breaking Waves thing has just been tremendous for me. Yeah, and I don't know how it came together. It was just like the four of us work together. And I consider Seth one of the people because he helped me design and put that CD together. It looks beautiful. It's a piece of art. Oh yeah, yeah, guys want too.

47:29 Speaker 10: Yeah.

47:30 Speaker 3: I love the I love like the guitar pretty much, right, Yeah, yeah, all right, cool, I'll just kind of Yeah. Yeah, no, I love the I do love the cover. And just like Stephen Pequin, Yeah, he did some paintings in there. Okay, he's a painter and he was on New Hampshire Chronicle. And if you haven't heard of Stephen Pequin, he's very interesting. He paints live. And I was at the Stone Church and he was there. It's like you got to catch him if he's there because you don't know, no kidding. Then you're like kind of like I got forty bucks, Steve, what can you do?

48:05 Speaker 3: Oh? And he'll paint this like portrait in twenty minutes and you're like wow, no kidding. And he paints you when you're playing.

48:12 Speaker 5: Oh really yeah, Oh that's cool.

48:13 Speaker 3: Great, Oh that's cool. So he's like a rock star as well. Yeah, and he was involved in a lot of the art that's in the CD, which is cool. In a second yeah yeah, oh yeah, my bag's right there. I'm just gonna get up and grab a CD. Okay.

48:25 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then and then we'll have you hold it up because you're on you're on camera, and then the our our audience who is watching online.

48:34 Speaker 3: Yeah, then you can get the visual.

48:35 Speaker 2: They'll be able to they'll be able to see it. Yeah, yeah, and of course you can always look it up online. Two Breaking Waves is the name of the EP by Nathan Hill. It is available now. But yeah, I like the artwork. I'm also curious to ask you about the the significance of of of the name.

48:54 Speaker 3: And it's like, you know, like, yeah, I'm just kind of guilt to you it. I guess I'm guilty of it too. It's like you get like a wave of like anger, like things just not going right. It's just like just got to push it back, keep moving forward. They're gonna pound and break you down, and uh, it's gonna try and drag you out and drag you down and depression sucks. It's like I'm caught in the rip tide right now. But I'm gonna get out of this thing, you know. So it's like one of the lyrics is I'm going to sale my soul to a commercee Like I'm just gonna take myself.

49:37 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go someplace else that makes me feel better about everything. And you know, uh, Studio Pink and this music thing and Breaking Waves all of it, my gibs and guitars, is this was this where I'm holding this thing.

49:53 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can even I can even zoom in a little bit. But yeah, that's perfect. Let me zoom in a little bit for for those watching online.

50:00 Speaker 3: Cool, trying to hold it still, I'm like, oh, yeah.

50:03 Speaker 10: No, you got it.

50:04 Speaker 3: You got it perfect. Yeah, really, yeah, I dig that. I dig that.

50:08 Speaker 10: Uh.

50:09 Speaker 3: I really like the cover art. That's the graphic. Okay, if you're looking for it online, okay, but yeah, this is it. These things were hot.

50:19 Speaker 7: Man.

50:19 Speaker 3: These are the last two CDs I'm giving away. Oh really yeah, yeah, I've got like four or five left for myself. Yeah, I'm just gonna keep around for a minute. But I'm thinking about almost doing a second edition where the wave has like a little bit of a tinge of blue. Oh yeah, so that you know that the black and white ones were the ogs. Oh that's cool. I like that idea. These ones are special, man, Yeah something about them. Yeah no, I like that idea a lot.

50:46 Speaker 4: Yeh.

50:46 Speaker 10: Yeah.

50:47 Speaker 2: And it's cool that you did CDs, you know, because a lot of artists now, you know, just do digital media. Although it seems like the guests that we've had on the show lately, there's there's it's especially over the last two or three, maybe four years, there's been kind of a recommitment to physical media something.

51:07 Speaker 10: Yeah.

51:08 Speaker 2: Yeah, well people like to you know, like if you're especially if you're really into an artist, you know, like I when I was a kid, you know, I would always if I was really into an artist or really into a particular release, I would want to read all the liner notes and you know, just kind of geek out on every little detail, you know, and you know, oh, who's their management company?

51:26 Speaker 3: You know all that stuff. A lot of times, like you know, I just like to have the CD and yeah I don't even I have like a rock memorbilia thing, you know, yeah, yeah, like tons of CDs and stuff and records that have had autograph and yeah, I never opened any of it, right, right, but maybe one day, you know.

51:46 Speaker 2: Well that's my theory about vinyl is that most people who buy new vinyl, like it's one thing if you're if you're buying old vinyl, you know, because you have you actually want to listen to it on a record player at home or something. But but I think when people buy new vinyl, most of it probably goes unopened or at the very least unplayed, because you know, if you're just really into a particular artist, it's it's nice to it's cool to have that vinyl and you know, maybe you don't play it, maybe you mounted on a wall or something, you know, but but it's just cool to have it, you.

52:13 Speaker 3: Know what I mean, if you're really into an artist. Yeah, now is it two ends? So oh in gen Yeah? Yeah, yeah, no, we appreciate that. We appreciate that.

52:27 Speaker 10: Uh.

52:27 Speaker 3: It's so funny, like the little subtle things that you remember about everybody. Yeah, and sometimes like they're like, wow, you remembered like that little thing, and it's like, listen, I'm not frigging a superstar. I'm a normal person, Like I pay attention to people, right right, Yeah, No, that's definitely a good thing. Definitely a good thing. Shout outs. Okay, I don't know, this has been great.
