Speaker 9: that a one man band, right, right, it's completely self contained.
Speaker 3: You look up a drum to one one heel and
Speaker 3: the other.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's all they used to do at old school. Yeah,
Speaker 8: I mean, is that challenging.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's tough.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: I'm always on the search for a drummer or uh
Speaker 3: and a keyboard player. Yeah, and it's hired. I've been
Speaker 3: trying to put together a a three piece for a
Speaker 3: few years now. I played with people. I have a
Speaker 3: couple of drummers. I brought a drummer in last time.
Speaker 3: He he played on All Aaron and the Argonauts, okay,
Speaker 3: the whole album. But he doesn't you know, he doesn't
Speaker 3: play out.
Speaker 8: Oh so who is it?
Speaker 3: Jason Staples? Okay, you know that's the guy I brought
Speaker 3: in last time.
Speaker 8: Oh gotcha? I was gonna say the name is familiar.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, gotcha. I mean, if you want to find him,
Speaker 3: he at Jason Staples drum Lessons online. Yeah, it's pretty
Speaker 3: easy just to look on YouTube.
Speaker 8: But he doesn't play out at all.
Speaker 3: No, he doesn't leave the house, but he gives lessons
Speaker 3: at his house.
Speaker 8: Gotcha?
Speaker 3: And uh, yeah, I worked with him for a good
Speaker 3: like eight months or so, and right before my surgery
Speaker 3: was coming up, and right right right before the surgery,
Speaker 3: it was like a big sprint to get all his
Speaker 3: drums recorded. So you know, I got everything together and
Speaker 3: we set it all up at his house and we
Speaker 3: spent a few days on it and it was pretty good. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know you're hearing what we got from it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So what's what's the plan for the
Speaker 9: new material as far as recording or maybe have you
Speaker 9: already started recording.
Speaker 3: It or oh yeah, yeah, I mean, uh, you're kind
Speaker 3: of hearing a little of the backing tracks, you know,
Speaker 3: minus my my vocals and the base, but the base
Speaker 3: and vocals, like, I've got the scratch tracks recorded for
Speaker 3: all of it, okay, you know so far.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and.

Speaker 8: album or an EP.
Speaker 3: Or probably Yeah, I put out full albums. Yeah, I've
Speaker 3: put out singles before, but uh, yeah, you know, I
Speaker 3: don't I don't make any money so I'm just gonna
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it the way I remember. You know,
Speaker 3: I grew up in the in the nineties, you know,
Speaker 3: and it was all CDs and stuff.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 9: that's that's cool. I don't know if I don't know
Speaker 9: if people can see it well enough on camera, but
Speaker 9: I'll take a picture of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it sends, it sends people right to my
Speaker 3: link tree. Perfect link tree has everything.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, that's excellent. Excellent.
Speaker 9: Now are you are you entirely focused on the solo well,
Speaker 9: I mean you did mention, you know, trying to get
Speaker 9: other people involved in it, But I mean is that
Speaker 9: your primary focus? Are you playing in a band as
Speaker 9: well or anything?
Speaker 3: Or no, No, I'm not playing in a band of
Speaker 3: I'm just focused on my solo stuff. And if I
Speaker 3: can put together a three piece that you know, that's
Speaker 3: the ultimate goal in the end. But until then, I'm
Speaker 3: not going to stop.
Speaker 8: Yeah. No, that's that's good.
Speaker 9: I mean, you know this gives you the way you're
Speaker 9: doing this, It gives you total control over what you're
Speaker 9: doing right, right, and and how you do it, and
Speaker 9: you know you don't have to argue with band band members.
Speaker 3: And right, but everything lands on you, and your failure
Speaker 3: or success all all lands on you.
Speaker 9: It's all your Oh something too funny that happened off air.
Speaker 9: So in the last hour we had the Murphy Clark band,
Speaker 9: right right. So so you were here getting ready to
Speaker 9: come in for hour three and in the hallway you
Speaker 9: you said to Mike Clark, you said, I recorded with
Speaker 9: you twenty years ago.
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, his studio, his story is gorgeous. It's got
Speaker 3: it's got like this like an old barn field, but
Speaker 3: then it was all redone inside. Yeah, it's really nice.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then he's got this like almost like an apartment
Speaker 3: in the back u for for for the band to relax,
Speaker 3: and it's I mean when I was there twenty years ago,
Speaker 3: you know, they had the Nintendo and a big TV.
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's upgraded since then. I would imagine, yeah,
Speaker 3: the new stuff, but it was all brand new, top
Speaker 3: of the line back then.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was a change of season.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The metal band, yep, that's that's really like kind of
Speaker 3: I think that's like a more folk centric type of
Speaker 3: music that he studies focuses on. Yeah, you know, most
Speaker 3: of most of his people, I think I like folk music,
Speaker 3: so I feel like we were kind of the odds
Speaker 3: going in there.
Speaker 8: Now, I'm curious, did he remember, like when you said
Speaker 8: change of season, did he remember? Yeah, no, clue, Yeah,
Speaker 8: it was twenty years ago. And plus he's had a
Speaker 8: lot of people in it now. He sounds like he's
Speaker 8: pretty busy there.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, yeah, he's he's uh he does very
Speaker 3: good work.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, no, it sounds I wish I could afford him. Yeah,
Speaker 8: you know, but uh, it is what it is.
Speaker 3: And like I said, you know, the money's not going
Speaker 3: to stop me either.
Speaker 9: Right right.
Speaker 8: What is your recording process, because you do it all
Speaker 8: like you're not working with a studio at all, right,
Speaker 8: all in.
Speaker 3: It's all in house. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's just it's
Speaker 3: on a laptop through ableton yep, you know. And uh,
Speaker 3: you know, I got I got a real drummer for
Speaker 3: the first time for the last album. All my other
Speaker 3: stuff has been a drum machines, you know. So that
Speaker 3: was really interesting. That was like that was the first
Speaker 3: time I felt like I was actually like starting to
Speaker 3: do something professional or not even professional, but like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I know, I felt like I was doing real work
Speaker 3: recording a drum set with all the mics and everything. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but yeah, I mean my setup right now is pretty
Speaker 3: much me at home smoking weed and playing with my
Speaker 3: keyboard and playing with my bass and coming up with
Speaker 3: all this weird stuff.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 9: Do you uh in terms of these songs, so do
Speaker 9: you have any oh you said the fall, right, do
Speaker 9: you plan to do any videos for these?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I uh, I'm thinking about one right now, but
Speaker 3: I usually do about two, like like like scripted videos. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because our albums.
Speaker 8: The last album I remember you had a video for
Speaker 8: Brian yeah.
Speaker 3: Right, and the End of Time I did. I did
Speaker 3: as well, right right, and that that featured Gary Smith.
Speaker 3: Mister Gary Smith the hardest working musician in New Hampshire.
Speaker 8: I say that all the time because his name comes
Speaker 8: up constantly on the show. I always say, yeah, he's
Speaker 8: the busiest musician I know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's he's he's like in seven bands and
Speaker 3: uh then he does all his like other stuff like
Speaker 3: studio work and whatnot. Yep, yep, oh, man, I don't
Speaker 3: know how he does it. He's everywhere.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, he really is.
Speaker 3: But he was he he came up to my house
Speaker 3: like he recorded. He sent everything over over the internet.
Speaker 3: But when it came time to do the video, he
Speaker 3: came to my house. Yeah, and that was the first
Speaker 3: time we met in person. I asked him to climb
Speaker 3: up into my attic through a little hole, right, So
Speaker 3: the whole video is filmed in the attic with these old,
Speaker 3: like square nails sticking out out of the ceiling right
Speaker 3: in the head. Yeah, and he did it. He went
Speaker 3: up there and like a champ. Yeah, and uh we
Speaker 3: filmed that video. So that video is awesome. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: think I think it's one of my best videos.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then we did Grind with my wife and that
Speaker 3: was like a whole cast of characters on that one.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So you plan on doing more?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, new material. I have no idea what
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do yet, but I've been like, I've been
Speaker 3: tossing ideas around.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm only like halfway through the writing process,
Speaker 3: so I get a little ways to go.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 9: It's funny how sometimes some people who are not I
Speaker 9: don't know, social media savvy or whatever, some people have
Speaker 9: this perception that that music videos are like a dead medium,
Speaker 9: you know what I mean, Right, Because MTV obviously hasn't
Speaker 9: for a couple of decades now, really been.
Speaker 3: But really still making them.
Speaker 8: And there's more more videos than ever really, right, they're.
Speaker 3: Still pomping money and do these big videos millions of dollars,
Speaker 3: so they must be doing something.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and the technology is advanced now where you know,
Speaker 9: anybody can do it.
Speaker 3: And the new U what is it the vo three
Speaker 3: or whatever is the Google? The new Google? Oh ay
Speaker 3: that making making the sasquash of logs and all them.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, they're so good. Yeah, all these things.
Speaker 3: It's it's blowing my mind.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a lot to keep up with.
Speaker 3: I can't do it, you know what. I'm actually like,
Speaker 3: I'm trying to, like uh uh uh do everything as
Speaker 3: practical as possible lately, you know, like like I don't
Speaker 3: care if it looks cheesy. That's almost the point. Sure, sure,
Speaker 3: you know, uh man, because it's scary because you can
Speaker 3: make like beautiful, polished videos now with with just prompts.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, you just tell it what you
Speaker 3: want and I'll do it.
Speaker 8: Same with music.
Speaker 9: We're actually we're talking about that with the Murphy Clark
Speaker 9: guys like Souno dot com and these we've done it
Speaker 9: live on the show. Is just an experiment and the
Speaker 9: stuff it spits out is really good.
Speaker 3: I've I've used I've used it to separate tracks from
Speaker 3: old recordings of mine so that I can perform on
Speaker 3: live No kidding, right right, I've done that. Like uh
Speaker 3: Me and Huey the Gecko put out an album a
Speaker 3: few years ago called Pink Chicken, and yeah, I wanted
Speaker 3: to do some stuff off of that with him, but
Speaker 3: I didn't have anything.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I didn't like like that.
Speaker 3: That was a lot of sending back and forth, and
Speaker 3: he's like, so he had most of uh uh, like
Speaker 3: the drums and stuff. I didn't have any of it.
Speaker 3: So so I used a eye to separate it all
Speaker 3: and it worked, No kidding. It blows my mind, but
Speaker 3: I mean, uh I U. I use it to like
Speaker 3: describe my videos online.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: It just it gets you through all the writing process instantly.
Speaker 3: I don't mind that, Yeah, I don't mind. I use
Speaker 3: it a little bit to help me design for flyers.
Speaker 3: Uh and that's about it. Yeah, you know, but I
Speaker 3: do use it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's scary how like how it can write hit
Speaker 3: songs and pop songs and they sound so good. I know,
Speaker 3: it's just putting everybody out of business.
Speaker 9: Some of the things that Suno has generated actually get
Speaker 9: stuck in my head and it's like, oh.
Speaker 3: No, because it's got an algorithm for you.
Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly exactly, it's it's it's incredible. Of course, the
Speaker 9: sharks are already circling on that too, like Suno and Udio.
Speaker 9: There's a lot of people who want to see those
Speaker 9: go away. But I don't think you can put that
Speaker 9: genie back.
Speaker 3: No, No, it's it's out there. It's like Napster.
Speaker 9: You can't stop right right, Yeah, you got to adapt,
Speaker 9: and you know, the music industry figure out how.
Speaker 3: To you know, after after Napster, everybody I learned that,
Speaker 3: all the all the artists learned that if you just
Speaker 3: give your music away, you can put the butts in
Speaker 3: the seats and I sell the tickets, and that's how
Speaker 3: that's how they got to make money moving forward.
Speaker 9: Right right, which was really kind of the business model anyway.
Speaker 9: Just I mean, you always made more money, you know,
Speaker 9: big big By.
Speaker 3: The artists never made money off the album exactly. It
Speaker 3: was always off merch and seats at the shows.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, exactly. I remember when I was a kid
Speaker 9: reading this was when I first kind of realized this.
Speaker 9: I was reading an inter you with meat Loaf and
Speaker 9: he was talking about how, you know, people think that
Speaker 9: people assume that bad Out of Hell, which sold you know,
Speaker 9: how many ever gazillion copies, made him rich.
Speaker 8: And he's like, no, right, yeah, yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 8: what he said.
Speaker 9: That and touring and he said he's the said he
Speaker 9: made he would get something like a quarter, like like
Speaker 9: literally twenty five cents per unit right for for albums sold.
Speaker 16: You know.
Speaker 8: It's like it kind of opened my eyes. So so
Speaker 8: that's how that works.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, the record company get recoups all that money yep, yep,
Speaker 3: you know, forever, and they make you a big name
Speaker 3: for that. You can make your own money somewhere else.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, which is that there's value in that, right,
Speaker 9: But but yeah, it's a it's an interesting time to
Speaker 9: be alive, that's for sure.
Speaker 8: That's for sure. So you now, do you know when
Speaker 8: your next show is? After after the show tonight or you?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Just kind of okay.
Speaker 3: So so I got like three more shows after this.
Speaker 3: I got August twentieth, the sand Down Farmers Market, yeah,
Speaker 3: play in the apartments market, and August thirtieth, I am
Speaker 3: playing the Keen Music Festival.
Speaker 8: Oh, very cool.
Speaker 3: I'm excited about that. I've I've been trying for like
Speaker 3: three years now, and so I got in this year.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 4: Good.
Speaker 3: And then October twenty fifth, I'm playing Grafton Palooza.
Speaker 8: Okay, which is a new festival show. Oh that's new okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but you know it seems like he's gathering
Speaker 3: up a bunch of names. So yeah, sweet, excited for
Speaker 3: that one as well. I'm excited.
Speaker 8: No, that's good. That's good. Yeah, because you mentioned it,
Speaker 8: it's hard to find find venues to play, right, Yeah,
Speaker 8: I would. I would think you'd be kind of a dream.
Speaker 9: A dream performer for a lot of venues because you're
Speaker 9: because you are self contained, right, right?
Speaker 8: Is it that they just don't get it? They just
Speaker 8: don't get what you're doing.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I have no idea.
Speaker 3: Like, honestly, if I knew what it was, then i'd
Speaker 3: be able to.
Speaker 9: Fix it, because I'm sure that happens too, especially if
Speaker 9: you're dealing with somebody who maybe as a club owner,
Speaker 9: but they're you know, maybe they're.
Speaker 3: Just they just don't get it.
Speaker 8: They're just older and they don't you know, you explained
Speaker 8: to them.
Speaker 3: Most solo guys have a guitar, or exactly most most
Speaker 3: of the time they have an acoustic guitar.
Speaker 8: Mm hmm, yeah exactly. So you tell them or you
Speaker 8: show them what you're doing, and they're like.
Speaker 3: Right, when I decided I was going to start doing this,
Speaker 3: I wanted to be different. Everybody out there goes out
Speaker 3: of your guests that play music, they play on acoustic guitar.
Speaker 3: And anytime you have somebody like like ce Bbie when
Speaker 3: she came in on a keyboard or an electric guitar,
Speaker 3: or if I see a bass player come into your show,
Speaker 3: I'm on it.
Speaker 8: Yep.
Speaker 3: But you know a lot of times when once the
Speaker 3: acoustics starts strumming, I'm I'm I'm out.
Speaker 8: Yeah a little bit, you know, you know what you're getting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 3: I'm you know, I wanted to I wanted to be
Speaker 3: something different that I enjoyed. I wanted to see someone
Speaker 3: do No.
Speaker 8: I love it. I love it. I think it's awesome
Speaker 8: than you do.
Speaker 9: You get people who when you when you do play live,
Speaker 9: like do people come up to you afterward and they're
Speaker 9: like kind of surprised, like like does it end up
Speaker 9: being something different than what they were expecting maybe.
Speaker 3: Or yeah, I mean if there's people there, like I've
Speaker 3: played the empty houses before, you know, and you just
Speaker 3: play it like a practice.
Speaker 8: Sure, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I usually get really really good reception yeah, from people
Speaker 3: to play live because they've never seen anything like.
Speaker 8: It, right exactly?
Speaker 9: Yeah, who, like, is there somebody out there who does
Speaker 9: something even remotely close to what you do that you
Speaker 9: can think of, or.
Speaker 3: There's a bunch of busking people like, oh yeah, you
Speaker 3: use like like pedals, use a loop stations?
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's that's about it. I haven't really seen
Speaker 3: any like that I know of that I can think
Speaker 3: about the top of my head bass players that do
Speaker 3: anything like this.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I was curious partly because I wondered if if there
Speaker 9: was someone you kind of tried to pattern your process after.
Speaker 3: Or like it stole from everybody? Yeah, a little bit
Speaker 3: from everybody.
Speaker 8: Yeah No, but you've.
Speaker 9: Made it your own and it's it's really unique. So
Speaker 9: I think that's I think that's amazing everything that you've recorded,
Speaker 9: because you have recorded all the time goes so quick,
Speaker 9: but you have recorded a lot of music.
Speaker 3: Is it all seven albums I've put out and.
Speaker 8: It's all online, it's all it's all in band camp,
Speaker 8: it's everywhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, the old disttro Kid they give it to everybody.
