Rachel Molina is here and let me make sure make sure we can hear you. Hello Rachel, Hello, welcome to the program.

6:15 Speaker 1: Thank you.

6:16 Speaker 3: Uh so you're gonna play.

6:18 Speaker 11: You've got your guitar and again, if you are watching the video feed, you can see but she's got her guitar out and looking forward to hearing you play live. Now you don't just so people know, So you don't. You don't have any studio tracks yet, but I assume you're gonna be going into the studio at some point soon because you've got some You've got some original music as well as covers.

6:33 Speaker 12: Correct correct and do a lot of covers. I'm starting to write music. I think have finished one and have almost finished for the second one.

6:41 Speaker 3: Oh no kidding, Oh very cool.

6:43 Speaker 1: I read a lot of lyrics.

6:44 Speaker 12: I just have to put music to that.

6:45 Speaker 11: Oh that has that always been the case with you? I have you always? I mean, did you start out writing? Some people, some singer songwriters will start out kind of writing poetry and then they'll say, you know, these would make good songs, Maybe I should put music to these. I mean, is that because cause you mentioned you have a lot of lyrics.

7:00 Speaker 12: Yeah, they kind of come as journal entries, but they come out as songs, and I always thought, somebody, I'll put this to music. Yeah, so I've got like a backup.

7:10 Speaker 3: Now, why now?

7:12 Speaker 11: Because you said so recently you started writing music, But I assume you've been performing covers and such for a long time.

7:17 Speaker 3: Correct.

7:18 Speaker 12: So I've been playing guitar a long time. But two and a half years ago I started doing open mics nights with Andrew North and the Rangers.

7:26 Speaker 1: Yeah.

7:27 Speaker 11: Yeah, we were talking off air about them, and that's that's kind of how you got started doing the open mics, right.

7:33 Speaker 12: I've always wanted to do music, but recently finally, just I guess it's giving yourself permission to go for it.

7:41 Speaker 11: Yeah, So what was holding you back? Is it something you can identify or was it.

7:45 Speaker 12: Just Yeah, I struggled a long time with kind of the societal pressure to get a career, get the right job, you know, figure your life out. And I just turned.

7:59 Speaker 3: Forty last week, good happy birthday.

8:01 Speaker 12: And I told myself I wanted to have my dream job by the time I'm forty.

8:06 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've so far.

8:08 Speaker 11: Yeah, well it's a start. It's a start, and you're you're so you're a professional musician now. Because the way I've always looked at it, you know, sometimes people will kind of agonize over, well, when can I call myself a professional? Yeah, you know, if it's if it's something that's not their full time job, you know, when can I call myself a professional? And the way I've always looked at it is no. And this applies to music or anything anything that you do in life that you're passionate about.

8:32 Speaker 11: Once you've been paid for something, that's it, you're a pro.

8:36 Speaker 3: You can call yourself.

8:37 Speaker 11: So you can call yourself a professional musician as far as I'm concerned, Even if you've only had one paid gig, and you know there will be more, right, I mean because once that starts, you know, as long as you keep at it, you know that's going to grow and grow. And so that's awesome. Good for you, Good for you? Is that what so turning forty? Is that what made you say I got to do this now or never?

8:56 Speaker 12: Or actually is when I got an office job a couple of years ago?

9:00 Speaker 3: Yeah, is that when you started started thinking? I don't know, I was.

9:03 Speaker 1: The most I it was.

9:06 Speaker 12: It was hard. I not an office job person, and I got really depressed and I was like, what am I doing with my life?

9:13 Speaker 1: This isn't me.

9:14 Speaker 12: Yeah, And then actually actually listened to a book by Dave Stewart of You Rhythmics, his audio book about how the band started, and it was it was like really inspirational between that and listen like I went to one show every month last year musicians and just like seeing people do it, Yeah, like it can happen, It's possible. Yeah, yeah, it was a world changer.

9:41 Speaker 11: Yeah, good for you, Good for you. Well, I'm dying to hear you play. I've not heard you play at all yet, so now I but but I don't. From what I've seen online, it looks like, you know, people are really digging what you're doing. So I just realized, too, that explains the picture. So the and it ended up being the picture that I used to promote today's show of you on face Facebook and you wrote so this is what it's like or something. It's you on stage and You're like, this is what it's like. It's like okay, so she really is new with this, so very very cool.

10:20 Speaker 12: A song that I played at every year I play at a New England mountain bike association has a meet up and they asked me to play a couple of years in a row. Oh cool, that's probably that's how I started performing performing and okay, this was one of the songs a friend got me to do.

14:47 Speaker 3: That was wonderful. That was wonderful.

14:50 Speaker 11: Tell me about are they a big influence on you?

14:54 Speaker 12: No, Actually, it just happened to be a song that my buddy was playing with picked.

14:59 Speaker 15: Yes.

15:00 Speaker 12: He was like, I love this song. I had not really listened to them much. Yeah, played it turned out I loved it.

15:06 Speaker 1: I don't know.

15:07 Speaker 12: I just kind of pick up music that clicks with me and yeah, yeah, yeah.

15:12 Speaker 11: Do you have are there specific influences that have really kind of shaped your you know, your approach to UH to how you play. And I'm especially curious too about about your singing, because you know, you've you've got a great voice, and I'm curious like how you learn to sing and who who you listened to or maybe maybe you even took lessons.

15:30 Speaker 3: I don't know.

15:31 Speaker 12: I it's it's been a mix. But I grew up in choir. Okay, A church choir when I was a teenager. It was the chore for about six years. That's where I got my musical I guess training you just the more you do it, the more.

15:45 Speaker 3: Yeah.

15:47 Speaker 12: I never learned how to read music or anything. I just like sang. I loved singing.

15:50 Speaker 3: Yeah.

15:52 Speaker 12: I listened to a lot of like punk and rock growing up, and I don't know if that had any influence, but just definitely energetic and loud. Yeah yeah, and I just kept singing.

16:03 Speaker 3: Yeah.

16:04 Speaker 12: Took lessons once.

16:06 Speaker 11: Did you, Yeah, like like literally one lesson or for just for six months.

16:12 Speaker 3: Oh okay. Do you think it helped you?

16:14 Speaker 12: Yeah, there's Yeah, there's definitely things that have stuck from it.

16:18 Speaker 3: Yeah.

16:18 Speaker 12: I think I absorb a lot by listening to other people.

16:20 Speaker 1: YouTube does a lot.

16:22 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, well that's the thing. Yeah.

16:24 Speaker 11: YouTube you can learn. You can learn so much from YouTube. It's probably put a lot of music instructors out of business. Actually, now that i'm thinking about it, YouTube, because you know, if you think about it, that never really occurred to me until just now.

16:37 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's probably you know, like I remember, you.

16:39 Speaker 11: Know, buying DVDs about how to sing and how to play, and you know that's of course, you don't need to do that anymore.

16:46 Speaker 12: I've seen instructors go online.

16:48 Speaker 3: Though, oh yeah, yeah, of course.

16:50 Speaker 12: Yeah, So I don't know.

16:51 Speaker 11: Maybe it's yeah, the ones who are comfortable with it. But I took I took voice lessons and I from a variety of different instructors over the years, and I doubt any of them are even still in business. But they didn't help me much. I'm not a bad harmony singer. I can kind of find the octave and lock in, but on my own I get lost.

17:11 Speaker 12: Everything's easier when you do with people.

17:13 Speaker 11: Oh yeah, yeah no, But just starting an inquire, starting singing and inquire, I mean, I think that's a great way to start. I always I've always heard Darryl Hall say that, like he learned to sing because when he was a kid, his mom took him to church. Yeah, and that's you know, growing up in Philadelphia, that's you know, that was a great way to start, you know.

17:29 Speaker 3: And his mother also is a I.

17:31 Speaker 11: Say it is because I think she's still alive, but she's also a vocal teacher herself, and she taught him how to breathe and everything, and took him to church. And said, here sing with these people.

17:41 Speaker 1: And yeah, that's cool.

17:43 Speaker 3: Yeah, Now what about guitar? How did you learn to play guitar?

17:47 Speaker 12: I got my first guitar when I was seventeen, from like a summer crush. He played me like I mean, he taught me how to play GCD.

17:57 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then.

18:00 Speaker 12: Over the years it's just been slowly picking up some songs.

18:04 Speaker 3: Yeah.

18:05 Speaker 1: Uh.

18:06 Speaker 12: The first song I ever learned was Boston by Augustana And oh, so, I guess we're talking about musicians and bands. They were Augustana Is. They're not super popular, but they were like so influential to me. Probably when I started writing songs, I it was it was a lot of like a lot of like kind of dark, sad sounding music. You know, a lot of my lyrics would come out as like these sad stories and yeah, I like I like heartfelt things like emotion. Sure, sure, but anyway, okay, Yeah.

18:41 Speaker 1: And then.

18:44 Speaker 12: It was two and a half years ago, I again doing open mic nights. I was like, well, I don't pick it up again. So I picked up my my old guitar that I'd got in San Francisco years ago on a whim.

18:57 Speaker 11: Yeah, did you go a really long time I'm without playing at all?

19:01 Speaker 3: Or did you kind of?

19:02 Speaker 12: I probably went stretches a couple of years stretches, and then I'd pick up guitar and like fiddle with it.

19:08 Speaker 3: Yeah.

19:09 Speaker 12: Yeah, I might have gone five or six years without really playing.

19:14 Speaker 3: Yeah.

19:14 Speaker 12: I started dabbling in the keyboard too, and that was fun. Yeah, guitar is always way more intimidating.

19:20 Speaker 3: Yeah. So then so when did you so?

19:25 Speaker 11: But it was a couple of years ago that you picked it back up and really started to focus on it or yeah, and.

19:30 Speaker 12: I just had to, like again, it was giving myself permission. Just I don't really still sometimes feel like I don't know what I'm doing, but I I just I learned songs. I find songs that I love, and I'm like, I better if I learn that, Yeah it's too complicated, I let it go. Yeah, and then to find ones that are easy.

19:48 Speaker 11: So that makes me curious, like, what have you Is there anything you can think of specifically that you tried to learn that you you felt was too complicated that maybe you'll you'll put aside and come back later.

19:56 Speaker 3: Well, it's curious about this kind of thing.

19:58 Speaker 12: Is there is there anything I think there was a Beatles song. Yeah, I can't remember what it was called. I can't remember which one, but they use a lot of When I say a complimentated, complicated chords, it's like there you have to stretch your fingers around, or there's a chord change every you know, every beat home.

20:17 Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like yeah.

20:18 Speaker 12: And sometimes I've learned too to allow myself to just instead of changing chords, you might find one that sounds similar, so just stay on it, right.

20:26 Speaker 3: Right, Yes, yes, absolutely.

20:30 Speaker 11: When I when I was a teenager, so I took guitar lessons, and but I was I was kind of a lazy kid. If I wasn't good at something quickly enough, I would tend to.

20:38 Speaker 3: Give up on it. And that's how I ended up.

20:42 Speaker 11: And bass players hate when I say this. I know that, but I'm a bass player so I can say it. That's how I ended up playing bass because I got frustrated with the guitar and and then I picked up a bass. I was with some friends, some musicians, and I picked up a bass and I seem to have a feel for it really quickly, and I was kind of like, oh, two less strings and I don't have to know any chords. I think I found my instrument, and it turned out I did find my instrument because I ended up playing in a bunch of bands over the years.

21:08 Speaker 11: But and I'm not a bad bass player. But and I can still play a little bit of a guitar, you know, I can play I can play in a punk band probably, but but.

21:15 Speaker 3: Uh, but yeah, it's uh, but I know what you mean.

21:17 Speaker 11: And it's like, you can you can kind of psyche yourself out by trying trying too hard to emulate exactly what the original artist did when you can you can change it, yeah, and make it sound the same. You know, there's no there's no rules really, I mean, music theory is music theory, but that doesn't mean you have to do it exactly the way it was done to make it sound good. And if along the way you kind of make it your own, that's good too.

21:42 Speaker 12: I think, yeah, there's I think music has taught me that I'm can be a perfectionist. And it's a lot of your heart on yourself. And it's like that has to really be ingrained as it's okay to be flexible with the songs, okay to put your own spin on it. Yep, And people want that probably.

22:01 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, some people do. I mean some people.

22:04 Speaker 11: There's always some people who will complain like, oh that you didn't play that right, But it's like, uh, you know, but to me, I always like, you know, it's like if I see a cover band, I don't necessarily want to hear everything exactly the way it sounds, the way the original artists played it. I kind of want to hear. It's like, okay, I know how the original goes. I can I hear it on the radio, I can pull it up online. I want to hear your interpretation of it, you know what I mean? That to me is more interesting.

22:31 Speaker 11: But there are some people who are just like, oh you didn't you didn't play that the way I know it. It's like, well, go listen to it the way you know it. The way you know it is available to you.

22:40 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. That's true.

22:42 Speaker 12: It is about creativity.

22:43 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, or it should be. At least it should be. You want to play another one?

22:48 Speaker 11: Okay, all right, if you're just joining us, Rachel Molein is here with us live in studio, sounding great.

22:54 Speaker 12: I sorry, okay, I'll play I'll play an original.

22:59 Speaker 11: Okay, awesome. So this will be the first time this has been played on the radio.

23:04 Speaker 12: That's true.

23:05 Speaker 3: So it was a world premiere.

23:07 Speaker 12: Yes, yes, is this recorded well, of course technically the first time it's every recorded to this will be.

23:12 Speaker 3: The first time. Wait, you know what, just just for that, I should uh, I should do this, uh do this for you.

23:19 Speaker 4: You are listening to wum and a.

23:23 Speaker 13: World premiere.

23:27 Speaker 11: Oh you probably couldn't hear that because you don't have headphones on. I gave you the world premiere bumper. Yes, you'll hear it later when you listen to it.

23:36 Speaker 3: All right, what's this called?

23:37 Speaker 12: It's called this song is called the Moment. It's very short. It's it's about living in the moment, really, because a lot of times they escape us. Yes, before we've had a chance to do something about it. And let's bring that.

23:53 Speaker 3: Back, all right, Rachel Mouley.

23:59 Speaker 1: M stand to stay the moment.

24:20 Speaker 14: For the moment loss, it passes bar.

24:29 Speaker 15: And see hard on the Wonday, it leaves no chase,

24:40 Speaker 15: it flies way.

24:46 Speaker 9: Breathe the moment back now.

24:52 Speaker 1: Because I know.

24:55 Speaker 9: What I would say.

25:26 Speaker 14: Find yourself a moment, So it does, saying it's too.

25:42 Speaker 1: God, hand sip beside me. We'll fly away. We'll fly way.

26:01 Speaker 3: Beautiful, beautiful.

26:03 Speaker 11: Rachel Moleen is here with us, live in studio, and that's called the moment.

26:07 Speaker 12: The scariest thing I've ever done, really, maybe so far.

26:12 Speaker 11: I mean as you, as you advance into your career, I'm sure it'll get scarier. This is nothing, This is nothing if you are just joining us. Rachel Moleen is here with us, live in studio, and so what kind of what kind of shows have you you been doing? You mentioned the open mics, and then have you been but you know you've been doing more than just that obviously.

26:31 Speaker 12: So yeah, volunteered for a couple of things. It played at a school last weekend, like a parent teacher fundraiser thing. Oh cool, that was fun. There was three other artists there, one that I knew. Playing in front of a bunch of kids is really fun there. They give a lot of feedback dancing to your music or or they come up there and they just stare at you playing.

26:56 Speaker 3: Yeah.

26:59 Speaker 12: Yeah, I played at Feathered Friends last weekend, opened for Lee and doctor.

27:04 Speaker 3: G Okay, he is a local man. Now where is that feather trends?

27:09 Speaker 12: Feathered Friends feather trends?

27:11 Speaker 3: I don't know why thought sometimes I don't hear things correctly.

27:14 Speaker 11: Feathered trends, like like, what would that be, like a store that sells jackets like made of feather?

27:22 Speaker 12: I think we should.

27:24 Speaker 11: Should open that. Feathered trends. So feathered friends, okay, okay, so what is that?

27:29 Speaker 12: It's a brewery.

27:29 Speaker 3: It's a brewery. Okay.

27:31 Speaker 12: They have a cool stage in the back. Then I played last December. I played up at a place in Bethlehem, Okay called Flamingo.

27:41 Speaker 3: Okay.

27:42 Speaker 12: A buddy of mine, Jim Terrell, is also a New Hampshire.

27:45 Speaker 11: Oh I know Jim, ye yep. I've interviewed him actually, jeez, I don't know how many times.

27:49 Speaker 3: Over the years. Yeah, yeah, oh absolutely, Jim's great.

27:53 Speaker 1: I was.

27:54 Speaker 12: I went up to see him play because he plays there every Wednesday.

27:59 Speaker 3: Yeah.

28:00 Speaker 12: He had me sing a couple of songs and the owner was like, Jim can't be here next week, do you want to fill in? Oh nice, it's a three hour set, and I was like.

28:08 Speaker 9: Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, let's do.

28:11 Speaker 3: Yeah.

28:12 Speaker 1: It was.

28:12 Speaker 12: It was a really good experience. It was a challenge because I didn't have three hours of material.

28:17 Speaker 3: But well, the thing is, though, with a situation like that too. You can repeat some stuff.

28:21 Speaker 11: I mean, you're not you know, you're not playing to the same crowd in the first hour that you you know in the third hour, you know what I mean?

28:26 Speaker 12: Right, So, yeah, you're right.

28:27 Speaker 3: I mean, is that what you ended up doing? He just yeah, yeah, did.

28:30 Speaker 12: About I had about an hour and twenty minutes or so.

28:33 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, she just played this stuff. Just play the SAT twice? Right, yeah, no big deal. Yeah, no, that's cool. So I went, well it did. Yeah.

28:40 Speaker 12: I was not as prepared as I could have been. I think I say that every time.

28:44 Speaker 11: Sure, well, you know, like we talked about earlier, you know, I'm creative. People are most hard on themselves, you know, the most self critical. So but it comes from a good place because you want to be good at what you're doing, and you you know, you want people to be impressed and whatnot. So right, So are you is that kind of is your goal to continue to do shows like that?

29:04 Speaker 3: More and more shows like that? Is that? Like you want to be playing out all the time. I assume I would like to.

29:10 Speaker 12: It's really good. I've found that it it's a lot of pressure. I mean, I put pressure on myself. Yeah, but it's really good to develop my set list and it it's I'm learning so much as I'm learning songs.

29:24 Speaker 3: Yep.

29:25 Speaker 12: I'd like to be able to id like to be able to support myself with music.

29:29 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course. Yeah.

29:31 Speaker 12: I do want to keep writing and start recording, and I'd love to eventually start a band. Can I say I'm looking for a fiddle player? Know that there's fiddle players like all over, but yeah, I would love to collaborate with someone.

29:48 Speaker 3: Now, why a fiddle player specifically.

29:50 Speaker 12: It's okay, it's probably some band influences like Airborne Toxic Event is a rock band and they have a fiddle. The fiddle was one of his first band members. Oh, violin, same, But yeah, it just sounds so cool. I think in any style of music, yeah, adds something that you don't get to see or hear a lot.

30:13 Speaker 3: Yeah. Does Andrew North and the Rangers have a fiddle player? Don't they know? They haven't they have a Who.

30:18 Speaker 11: Am I thinking of? No, I'm thinking I don't know who I'm thinking of. But yeah, I mean it's not like, uh yeah, fiddle players though. Yeah, it's not like you know, guitar players are everywhere, but fiddle players. Yeah, how do you find a fiddle player?

30:32 Speaker 12: I've been asked. I've been I just asked people some I'll come up with one.

30:36 Speaker 11: And when you find one, they're probably already in a bunch of bands because it's not many fiddle players around.

30:40 Speaker 3: Probably. No, I'm sure you'll find somebody. No, that's cool though. Yeah, that's cool. So you obviously, so you want to do something that doesn't sound like everything else, You want to do something something different.

30:49 Speaker 11: No, I think that's awesome. Yeah, yeah, fiddle players.

30:54 Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of who. I don't know why.

30:56 Speaker 11: I was thinking of Andrew North, maybe just because we were talking about earlier. But yeah, No, that's that's cool. Now you so, have you actively started looking for band members or are you just kind of starting to look.

31:05 Speaker 12: I'm starting to look. I've been meeting people at the open mic night.

31:09 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a that's a great Oh.

31:11 Speaker 11: Over the years of interviewing people, so many bands have started out of open mic nights, just people meeting there.

31:17 Speaker 3: It's it's such a great place in.

31:18 Speaker 12: Network, right, Yeah, I have faith in that.

31:21 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, so that's that's that's one of the long term goals. Get a band going.

31:25 Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what kind of band yet. I know I want a fiddle player. Yeah, there's this band called the East Pointers. They're from Prince Edward Island, Okay recently. I went to see them last year and that was a moment. It was one moment where I was like I can do this.

31:41 Speaker 3: Yeah.

31:42 Speaker 12: They're a guitar player and a fiddle player and one of them they switched to keyboard. Oh but they also do you know, they do beats and stuff. Their music is like not really traditional fiddle player. It's not Irish per se.

31:57 Speaker 3: Interesting.

31:57 Speaker 12: It's a lot of really cool different sound ones and high energy.

32:01 Speaker 3: I'm super curious.

38:13 Speaker 11: Oh yeah, there's a lot to it. There's a lot to it. Yeah, yeah, how do you feel about that part of it? I mean, are are you intimidated by it? Or because you know, some some musicians actually kind of embrace all of it. Some musicians are just like I just want to play. I want somebody else to do all the all the other stuff. I mean, how do you feel about it?

38:31 Speaker 12: I I want to do it all. Yeah, to be honest, I want to sing. Like mostly I play guitar because it so I can play out unforcing like I'm forcing myself.
