0:40 Speaker 1: I was because so you professionally you go by Brian Bolanski. Yes,

0:46 Speaker 1: but the way I was saying it Biolanski is actually

0:48 Speaker 1: the uh.

0:49 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how you say it correctly in Poland, and

0:52 Speaker 2: it is a Polish name. So I'm doing the the

0:55 Speaker 2: Midwestern americanized accent version.

1:00 Speaker 1: Well fair enough, but we do have listeners in Poland,

1:04 Speaker 1: I believe awesome. I made that up, but it's nice

1:07 Speaker 1: to think we do I mean it's the internet.

1:19 Speaker 2: there weren't before.

1:20 Speaker 1: There you go, there, you go. Yeah, you're on a

1:21 Speaker 1: big national tour, right or you're going everywhere yet?

1:29 Speaker 2: Canada tour. I actually just got back from Edmondston, New Brunswick,

1:33 Speaker 2: playing a show up there last night. Okay, so so yeah, yeah,

1:37 Speaker 2: all over the place, just trying to promote the new

1:39 Speaker 2: album Brian's Super Happy Fun Time.

1:41 Speaker 1: For Yes, yes, no, I love it. It's very very

1:45 Speaker 1: catchy stuff fun songs. Didn't have to make any radio edits,

1:49 Speaker 1: which is nice.

1:51 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know, I always try to be polite

1:53 Speaker 2: to to my friends in the radio there. Make everything

1:57 Speaker 2: FCC friendly.

2:10 Speaker 3: that is true royal listeners.

2:12 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, excellent.

2:16 Speaker 1: That is a that is a verifiable fact. So is

2:19 Speaker 1: that where you currently live?

2:21 Speaker 2: That is my home? Base. Yeah, so though saying I

2:24 Speaker 2: live there is is kind of a stretch. I'm there

2:27 Speaker 2: maybe a few weeks out of the year. The rest

2:29 Speaker 2: of the time, I'm just traveling across the country. And

2:32 Speaker 2: like we were talking off the air, did a europe

2:34 Speaker 2: tour earlier this year too, So yeah, I spend most

2:37 Speaker 2: of my time traveling and playing music. Yeah, I do

2:39 Speaker 2: call Charlotte home at the end of the day, you know,

2:42 Speaker 2: for a few weeks at least.

2:44 Speaker 1: How long have you been doing this full time touring?

2:47 Speaker 2: Twenty twelve is when I made the big plunge and

2:49 Speaker 2: decided to go from being a part timer like weekend

2:52 Speaker 2: Warrior to just kind of being a nomad and kind

2:56 Speaker 2: of living on the road more or less.

2:58 Speaker 1: Was it was? It scary at first?

3:00 Speaker 2: So yeah, it's still scary. It's still yeah, especially at first.

3:06 Speaker 2: I mean, you get used to a lot of aspects

3:08 Speaker 2: of it, and honestly, the aspect of not doing it

3:13 Speaker 2: is scarier to me than all the things that folks

3:17 Speaker 2: might consider scary about being on the road. Ye, But yeah,

3:21 Speaker 2: you get used to it and it's great. It's a

3:23 Speaker 2: lot of hard work, but it's a lot of fun too.

3:25 Speaker 1: Have you been touring steadily since twenty twelve, so actually

3:29 Speaker 1: the pandemic.

3:30 Speaker 2: Probably we know that, Yeah, we know, there was a

3:32 Speaker 2: little break for that, and I actually have been touring

3:36 Speaker 2: steadily since things reopened from COVID. Pre COVID, it would

3:40 Speaker 2: get to see, I've gotten better about the business aspect.

3:43 Speaker 2: At first in twenty twelve, I'd be on tour for

3:46 Speaker 2: like nine months, run out of money, have to work

3:48 Speaker 2: a couple months at my old job, and then go

3:51 Speaker 2: on tour another seven months. You know, Yeah, it depends,

3:54 Speaker 2: you know. But lately, you know, I think I've made

3:57 Speaker 2: every financial mistake there was to make as being a

4:01 Speaker 2: traveling musician. So now I, like, you know, know how

4:03 Speaker 2: to weather the storm, if you know, some years are

4:06 Speaker 2: better than others. Sure, but but yeah, yeah, since since

4:09 Speaker 2: things reopened after COVID, this is this has been it.

4:13 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you're making it work, certainly, and that's great.

4:16 Speaker 2: Good for you, Thank you, Good for you.

4:18 Speaker 1: Well, do you want to play something live for us? Yeah?

4:22 Speaker 2: Sure, I'm gonna do a song from my last album,

4:25 Speaker 2: Brian's Super Happy Fun Time three, the predecessor to the

4:28 Speaker 2: New one, and this song is called rock the Library.

4:31 Speaker 2: It's a song about how I hang out in the

4:33 Speaker 2: libraries all day before my shows because it's a great

4:36 Speaker 2: place to get some work done, hang out for free,

4:39 Speaker 2: and even every once in a while, have a chance

4:41 Speaker 2: to read a book.

7:06 Speaker 2: Thanks y'all, Thank you very much.

7:08 Speaker 1: Brian Blanski is here with us live in studio. If

7:11 Speaker 1: you're just joining us and uh, yeah, libraries are do

7:14 Speaker 1: you have you found that there aren't as many as

7:16 Speaker 1: there used to be.

7:17 Speaker 2: Oh no, there seem to be plenty of libraries. The

7:21 Speaker 2: only thing I've noticed was, well, you know, a lot

7:23 Speaker 2: of them are not open for as many hours, yeahs

7:27 Speaker 2: as they used to be. A lot of the public

7:28 Speaker 2: libraries are closed on Sundays, which but you know, honestly,

7:33 Speaker 2: I also do a university libraries a lot too, because

7:36 Speaker 2: they're often like open till late at night. So, like,

7:39 Speaker 2: if I have an early show, I stopped by a

7:42 Speaker 2: college library, pull out my laptop and you know, start

7:45 Speaker 2: sending emails to book book and promote shows. That's pretty

7:48 Speaker 2: much how I keep things going.

7:50 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Now do you have a because a lot

7:54 Speaker 1: of the people who listen to this show are musicians

7:56 Speaker 1: or people who are aspiring to do what you do, Like,

7:59 Speaker 1: do you have advice for maybe somebody who's just starting

8:02 Speaker 1: out who wants to be able to do what you

8:04 Speaker 1: do in terms of touring nationally, hitting the road. You

8:07 Speaker 1: know you mentioned mistakes that you made, especially you know

8:11 Speaker 1: earlier early in your career.

8:14 Speaker 2: Oh. Absolutely, my advice to anyone that wants to, you know,

8:18 Speaker 2: do music full time. Just pretty much it's all I do,

8:23 Speaker 2: more or less. You know, if I'm not driving city

8:25 Speaker 2: to city or playing shows, I'm just I'm on my laptop,

8:29 Speaker 2: laptop promoting and booking shows. So I literally, you know,

8:33 Speaker 2: don't have a lot of downtime, and yeah, I just

8:37 Speaker 2: spend all my time just you know, working hard at it.

8:40 Speaker 2: And whatever you focus on, I thinking, if it's music

8:43 Speaker 2: or anything, if you devote your entire focus to whatever

8:47 Speaker 2: your goals are, then I mean it's it's bound to happen,

8:50 Speaker 2: like you know, little by little. And my other advice is,

8:53 Speaker 2: do not let any rejections or anybody who you know,

8:57 Speaker 2: saying something mean about your music or about you as

8:59 Speaker 2: a person. Don't let that deter you because a lot

9:02 Speaker 2: of the times the people are probably just jealous. So yeah,

9:06 Speaker 2: don't let any of that stuff bother you, and just

9:08 Speaker 2: work hard and keep a positive attitude and you know,

9:12 Speaker 2: stay calm when challenges arise. That's my advice.

9:14 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, thank you. Yeah, I think that that too

9:19 Speaker 1: kind of gels with what you know. In the first hour,

9:23 Speaker 1: our guest six Minds Combined, who's kind of an alternative

9:26 Speaker 1: hip hop artist from the area. He said something similar

9:31 Speaker 1: about you know, really keeping positive and not you know,

9:35 Speaker 1: not letting rejection or criticism affect you. But but he

9:39 Speaker 1: talked about how you know, the way he really got

9:43 Speaker 1: into his career was he had gotten into some trouble

9:46 Speaker 1: a long time ago and he ended up having to

9:47 Speaker 1: do community service, and he had to do community service

9:51 Speaker 1: with a place called Positive Street Art, which is where

9:54 Speaker 1: he met someone with whom he collaborates with musically and

9:58 Speaker 1: so forth, and it just kind of snowballed from there

10:00 Speaker 1: and how approaching it. He talked about how approaching everything

10:04 Speaker 1: positively really enables him to have the career that he

10:07 Speaker 1: has now.

10:09 Speaker 2: And that's the truth. And I think you know that,

10:11 Speaker 2: like like it's true in anything you do that if

10:15 Speaker 2: you stay positive and you treat people the way you

10:17 Speaker 2: want to be treated. I mean, I know there's a

10:19 Speaker 2: lot of people in you know, the music business and

10:21 Speaker 2: in any business that you know, we'll try to get

10:24 Speaker 2: ahead at the expense of other people. But and that

10:27 Speaker 2: might work for the short term, but in the long term,

10:29 Speaker 2: I think, you know, in karmically and and just also

10:34 Speaker 2: you know, people talk, so when people do rude things

10:38 Speaker 2: or treat people poorly. I mean, it's a small world.

10:40 Speaker 2: It's much smaller than you'd expect.

10:42 Speaker 1: The Internet has made it very small indeed. Indeed, yeah, yeah, no,

10:46 Speaker 1: I think you bring up a good point about how

10:48 Speaker 1: you treat people, because it's so much of it is

10:50 Speaker 1: about building relationships and having a strong reputation, you know,

10:58 Speaker 1: because yeah, you know, people talk well. It's quite true.

11:02 Speaker 2: And one thing I've seen in shows where I'm playing

11:05 Speaker 2: with other musical acts and maybe some that are, you know,

11:08 Speaker 2: more famous than I am, but I've seen a lot

11:10 Speaker 2: of musicians treat their fans poorly, like they can't be

11:13 Speaker 2: bothered with them, and that just always boggled my mind.

11:15 Speaker 2: I'm like these people that like your music is the

11:18 Speaker 2: reason why you're doing what you're doing. So anytime, like

11:21 Speaker 2: somebody you know, tries to reach out to me and

11:24 Speaker 2: express that they like my music, I try my best

11:28 Speaker 2: to express my appreciation for them, because if it wasn't

11:31 Speaker 2: for those people, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing.

11:34 Speaker 1: Right right Exactly, how many do you have any idea

11:38 Speaker 1: how many songs you've written? It looks like from what

11:40 Speaker 1: I see online, it looks like you've written quite a few.

11:43 Speaker 2: Exactly one hundred and eighty published songs.

11:46 Speaker 1: Wow.

11:46 Speaker 2: Yes, Before I was a solo artist, I had a

11:49 Speaker 2: band for many years, so most of those songs are

11:53 Speaker 2: the old band. I still play a few of those

11:56 Speaker 2: old band songs here and there in in my live sets.

12:00 Speaker 2: But yeah, one and eighty.

12:02 Speaker 1: And you've probably written I imagine you strike me as

12:05 Speaker 1: someone who writes a lot. You've probably written a lot

12:06 Speaker 1: that you haven't even recorded yet.

12:08 Speaker 2: I would think, well, yeah, it's It's funny you mentioned that,

12:11 Speaker 2: because Brian's super happy fun time for the new album.

12:14 Speaker 2: It just came out last month, and as soon as

12:16 Speaker 2: I was done recording the album this summer, I just

12:19 Speaker 2: got a like a flood of new song ideas. I'm like,

12:23 Speaker 2: that always happens too. I'm like, oh, man, why could

12:25 Speaker 2: have I wrote this one before the album and put

12:28 Speaker 2: it on this album? But yeah, I definitely have almost

12:31 Speaker 2: the whole next album written whenever, whenever I find the

12:34 Speaker 2: time and the money to record it, you know, it's

12:36 Speaker 2: definitely I've got the songs with all set.

12:39 Speaker 1: Where do you record?

12:40 Speaker 2: So most of my songs I record in Charlotte. There's

12:45 Speaker 2: a studio called Catalyst Recording, and my producer Rob Tavlion

12:51 Speaker 2: down there and we've been working together for almost twenty

12:54 Speaker 2: years since the old days with my old band, and

12:57 Speaker 2: he does a great job. I always like to say

12:59 Speaker 2: he's like the George Martin of the Southeast United States.

13:04 Speaker 2: He's great. I mean, he collaborates. He plays percussion on

13:07 Speaker 2: a lot of the songs on the albums uh. And

13:11 Speaker 2: this this last album, actually I did the whole thing

13:13 Speaker 2: at his studio.

13:14 Speaker 3: Uh.

13:15 Speaker 2: It was a better year financially because sometimes I just

13:18 Speaker 2: do the radio singles, like the standout tracks at his

13:21 Speaker 2: studio and then I'll self record the rest of the

13:24 Speaker 2: album in my home studio. But this year treated me okay,

13:27 Speaker 2: So I actually got to do the whole album at

13:29 Speaker 2: Rob's studio.

13:30 Speaker 1: Outstanding.

13:31 Speaker 2: Neat, Yeah, it wasn't neat.

13:33 Speaker 1: What was the band that you were in? What? What

13:35 Speaker 1: did what did you guys sound like?

13:37 Speaker 4: So?

13:37 Speaker 2: The band was called Anguish with a W A G

13:41 Speaker 2: W I s H. And it was punk rock slash

13:44 Speaker 2: hard rock kind of band. Yes, yes, so I definitely

13:47 Speaker 2: did like A one to eighty as far as like

13:49 Speaker 2: the the lyrical themes, like you know, now it's Brian

13:52 Speaker 2: super happy fun time, whereas, like you know, the the

13:55 Speaker 2: old band was more like angry, screaming punk rock songs

13:58 Speaker 2: and stuff. Yeah. So, actually the final album as a

14:03 Speaker 2: band I got to do with the late great Steve

14:05 Speaker 2: Albini back in twenty sixteen, no kidding, and that was

14:09 Speaker 2: so yeah, he was. He was a great guy too.

14:11 Speaker 2: I mean he did so much for independent music and

14:14 Speaker 2: he was a really pleasant guy to work with. He

14:16 Speaker 2: was just ultra professional, had a lot of input and

14:20 Speaker 2: ideas for a lot of the songs we recorded there.

14:22 Speaker 2: So it was a great way for me to like

14:24 Speaker 2: end that chapter of my life, to get to something

14:27 Speaker 2: a dream i'd always had. Is my favorite engineer by far.

14:30 Speaker 1: That's fantastic that you got to work with Steve Albini.

14:33 Speaker 1: That's great, Thank you. Pasted a couple of years ago, right,

14:36 Speaker 1: it was earlier this year. Actually, oh it was earlier

14:38 Speaker 1: this year. Wow.

14:40 Speaker 2: Wow.

14:41 Speaker 1: And then so after that, so the band was that

14:44 Speaker 1: after having that experience, was that kind of like, well,

14:46 Speaker 1: there's nowhere else to go with this, or.

14:49 Speaker 2: Well, actually what it was? You know, I mentioned I've

14:51 Speaker 2: been touring live since twenty twelve, and you know it

14:55 Speaker 2: was like half and half band and solo because basically

14:59 Speaker 2: I'd set up up tours as my band, but bandmates

15:02 Speaker 2: would just like flake out halfway through the tour. Because

15:06 Speaker 2: the living life on the road at the level that

15:09 Speaker 2: I do it, it can be a little grueling and

15:11 Speaker 2: it's not for everybody. So basically, band members would quit

15:14 Speaker 2: and I'd be left like just showing up to the

15:15 Speaker 2: places alone with my acoustic guitar, like, yeah, my band

15:19 Speaker 2: bailed on me, but I'm here. I still want to

15:21 Speaker 2: play and and I just got the epiphany. I was like,

15:23 Speaker 2: you know, why don't I just do this right?

15:25 Speaker 1: You know right?

15:26 Speaker 2: And it's it's been a lot easier logistically since I

15:30 Speaker 2: just started being a solo artist. And then of course

15:34 Speaker 2: on the albums, I'm I'm doing the instruments, like the

15:36 Speaker 2: track we played to start the show, I'm doing drums, bass,

15:40 Speaker 2: lead guitars. So I still get to kind of have

15:43 Speaker 2: fun in the studio, like like I'm a full band,

15:45 Speaker 2: laying each track down one at a time, Paul McCartney style.

15:50 Speaker 2: But yeah, when I'm live, this is this is what

15:52 Speaker 2: I do. I got my acoustic guitar, and I'm miss

15:54 Speaker 2: singing and playing my songs.

15:56 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard with you know, I've been in bands

15:58 Speaker 1: and somebody I forget who it was now. Somebody on

16:00 Speaker 1: the show described describe the challenge of it, you know,

16:03 Speaker 1: in terms of scheduling and all of it. It's like

16:06 Speaker 1: being like if you're in a band with three other people,

16:08 Speaker 1: it's like it's like being in a it's like being

16:10 Speaker 1: in three separate relationships. And those with with people who

16:15 Speaker 1: are all in three separate relationships. You know, it's it's

16:19 Speaker 1: it's just it's it's hard. It's really hard. It's so hard.

16:22 Speaker 2: And it's sad too because the last incarnation of my band,

16:26 Speaker 2: we were just a two piece. It was just me

16:28 Speaker 2: and a drummer. But still it was just uh, you know,

16:31 Speaker 2: like I said, it's more like you know, sleeping in

16:34 Speaker 2: a vehicle and you know, not you know, dealing with

16:38 Speaker 2: all the you know, pressures of the road. I mean,

16:40 Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, it's a fun time too, but

16:42 Speaker 2: there's a lot of things that I think, you know,

16:45 Speaker 2: quote unquote normal people might might find just they couldn't

16:49 Speaker 2: you know, deal with it on a daily basis. Yeah,

16:52 Speaker 2: so uh so yeah, but but you know, what you

16:54 Speaker 2: said was one hundred percent true, like you know, trying

16:56 Speaker 2: to you know, manage all the schedules and it is

17:00 Speaker 2: it's like it's like being in a family and being

17:03 Speaker 2: or being like in a relationship. So it's tricky. I mean,

17:07 Speaker 2: and uh, a lot of my ex bandmates are are

17:10 Speaker 2: still like very supportive come to my shows when I'm

17:13 Speaker 2: around in Charlotte. So yeah, definitely, like not uh you know,

17:17 Speaker 2: a lot of amicable breakups, just kind of like hey, Brian,

17:20 Speaker 2: I just can't do this, not not like you know, yeah,

17:23 Speaker 2: like I can't stand you.

17:27 Speaker 1: Well that's good. Is the material that you recorded with

17:30 Speaker 1: Anguish is that still available online?

17:32 Speaker 2: Oh yeah absolutely. As a matter of fact. Accidentally, because

17:36 Speaker 2: I didn't understand how all the digital distribution worked at

17:41 Speaker 2: the time, my first solo album is actually under the

17:45 Speaker 2: old band, which is yeah, I was a little mistake

17:48 Speaker 2: on my Parloy said, I think I made every mistake.

17:50 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I didn't know I had to

17:52 Speaker 2: create a brand new uh you know, identity online for

17:57 Speaker 2: my new uh my new projects. So so yeah, but yeah,

18:00 Speaker 2: all that stuff if anybody wants to see it, but

18:03 Speaker 2: I will warn anybody that that stuff is not family friendly,

18:07 Speaker 2: like the Brian Super Happy stuff. So just a fair

18:10 Speaker 2: warning to anyone because there's a lot of like younger,

18:13 Speaker 2: younger listeners these days. I've been playing a lot of

18:16 Speaker 2: shows at things like you know, churches and schools and

18:19 Speaker 2: and things like that. So definitely, I just like to say,

18:23 Speaker 2: parental advisory. For the earlier stuff. There's there's some clean stuff,

18:27 Speaker 2: but a lot of it was punk rocks. So yeah,

18:31 Speaker 2: it's enough said. I guess understood, understood.

18:35 Speaker 1: Well, do you want to play another one for us?

18:37 Speaker 1: I'd love to hear another song, Absolutely sure.

18:39 Speaker 2: I'm gonna just do one more from the last album,

18:43 Speaker 2: and this one is called Baby. I'm your super Mario, all.

18:48 Speaker 1: Right, Brian Blansky live in studio with us.

18:57 Speaker 4: Baby, om your super Mario. Oh yeah, your super Mario.

19:05 Speaker 4: Give me a try. You won't be Sorrio. Oh no,

19:11 Speaker 4: you won't be Sorrio. I'm getting big, I'm getting super

19:17 Speaker 4: I'm gonna save you from King Cooper. You're gonna be

19:22 Speaker 4: my Princess Peach. The Level eight Castle is in my reach.

19:28 Speaker 4: Fav ite, I'm your super Mario. Oh yeah, your super Mario.

19:35 Speaker 4: You just stay away from Warrio. Oh no, don't go

19:42 Speaker 4: with Warrio. You're gonna be my Princess Peach. The Level

19:47 Speaker 4: eight Castle is in my reach. Will all my dreams

19:53 Speaker 4: have come true except the one where I save you.

20:00 Speaker 4: Where I save you? Because all my dreams have come

20:12 Speaker 4: to except the one where I save you. I just

20:18 Speaker 4: want to be your guy. We have a super happy

20:23 Speaker 4: fun time. Baby, I'm your super Mario. Faby, I'm your

20:30 Speaker 4: super Mario Fabe. I'm your super Mario Baby, I'm your

20:38 Speaker 4: super Mario.

20:40 Speaker 1: Now, Ryan Dolansky live in studio with us here on

20:47 Speaker 1: this Saturday morning on Matt connorton Unleashed. Yeah, I'll tell you,

20:52 Speaker 1: if you're gonn write a song about a video game,

20:54 Speaker 1: it makes sense to do that one because it's timeless.

20:56 Speaker 1: Yeah you know what I mean, Like like Super Mario

20:59 Speaker 1: goes back to when I was a kid.

21:00 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, me at me too. And ironically that when

21:04 Speaker 2: that song came out on my my last album last year,

21:08 Speaker 2: I had no idea there was a Super Mario movie

21:11 Speaker 2: coming out, and it actually came out just about the

21:14 Speaker 2: same month that the movie came out. I was like, oh, really,

21:17 Speaker 2: what a coincidence, But it worked out. I think that's

21:19 Speaker 2: the most popular song as far as the digital streaming

21:23 Speaker 2: sites go, which is which is kind of neat. I

21:26 Speaker 2: like it, and once again, you know, yeah, I used

21:29 Speaker 2: to love playing video games as a kid. Not a

21:31 Speaker 2: lot of time to play video games now with the organizing,

21:35 Speaker 2: you know, three hundred shows a year, So instead I write,

21:38 Speaker 2: write and play songs about him instead.

21:40 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that makes sense. Yeah, and video games can

21:43 Speaker 1: be highly addictive too, so probably.

21:48 Speaker 2: No doubt. Well, you know what, I love video games,

21:50 Speaker 2: and I feel like the fact that I was so

21:52 Speaker 2: into them when I was a kid has like really

21:54 Speaker 2: helped me, uh, you know, with with my booking and

21:58 Speaker 2: my promoting, like you know, surfing the internet trying to

22:02 Speaker 2: find you know, radio TV stations and venues. Like the

22:05 Speaker 2: faster I can find their emails, I'm like, it's kind

22:08 Speaker 2: of like, you know, jumping out of the way of

22:09 Speaker 2: the Koopa Troopa and super Mario. Is are you fast

22:12 Speaker 2: enough to do that? Are you fast enough to find

22:14 Speaker 2: the right place before another band books it?

22:16 Speaker 1: Kind of thing, right, right? Yeah, No, that makes sense.

22:19 Speaker 1: That makes sense in your experience, you know, because again

22:23 Speaker 1: you were started touring in twenty twelve, and then of course,

22:26 Speaker 1: you know, the pandemic kind of caused that break and

22:30 Speaker 1: then and then you got back out. Is is touring

22:33 Speaker 1: different post pandemic in terms of like I hear people

22:37 Speaker 1: complain that some venues have closed and you know that

22:40 Speaker 1: kind of thing.

22:41 Speaker 2: You know, Yes, I think if I'm not mistaken, and

22:46 Speaker 2: I could be wrong about this, but I believe that,

22:49 Speaker 2: like you know, pre COVID that I think one third,

22:53 Speaker 2: close to one third of all venues in the US

22:57 Speaker 2: closed down. Now there are new ones popping up to

23:00 Speaker 2: which is great, but yes, sadly, I mean venues that

23:03 Speaker 2: I'd played at for years and years that I had

23:05 Speaker 2: great relationships with went out of business because they just

23:08 Speaker 2: could not weather the storm. I mean, you know, the

23:12 Speaker 2: COVID thing. Really it killed a lot of venues, which

23:15 Speaker 2: is sad. But you know what, like I said earlier

23:18 Speaker 2: about the advice, you know, I mean, there's you just

23:20 Speaker 2: keep going. There's a well, like I said, I've started

23:25 Speaker 2: playing a lot of places that a lot of musicians

23:27 Speaker 2: don't even think about playing, like schools, homeless shelters, hospitals.

23:33 Speaker 2: So you know, there's and I think a lot of

23:35 Speaker 2: musicians probably don't want to play those kinds of places

23:38 Speaker 2: for whatever reason. But to me, those are some of

23:40 Speaker 2: the most fun shows and some of the most appreciative

23:43 Speaker 2: audiences at places that don't typically get musicians.

23:48 Speaker 1: No, that makes sense. Is there a particular place or

23:54 Speaker 1: type of place that you've played that really kind of

23:56 Speaker 1: surprised you where you it ended up being a better

23:59 Speaker 1: experience than you thought.

24:00 Speaker 2: You know, and it's funny. I have a song where

24:04 Speaker 2: I list off all the different interesting places. Yes, I've

24:08 Speaker 2: played grocery stores. I played a laundromat once, you know,

24:13 Speaker 2: a dentist office waiting room in Mexico. I was able

24:16 Speaker 2: to get a play for the people waiting to get

24:19 Speaker 2: their dental work done and got a discount for doing

24:21 Speaker 2: the concert. So that was kind of yeah. And to me,

24:25 Speaker 2: like the more unique of a place, like, the more

24:28 Speaker 2: fun it is. And like I said, I've been having

24:30 Speaker 2: a lot of fun, you know, doing doing the shows

24:33 Speaker 2: at like homeless shelters and hospitals and rehabilitation centers, just

24:37 Speaker 2: you know, trying to think about people in the population

24:40 Speaker 2: that that, Like I said, a lot of musicians don't

24:42 Speaker 2: think about playing for them, and I like to, you know,

24:45 Speaker 2: I like to, uh to do those kind of shows.

24:47 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that's awesome. And while you're while you're on

24:52 Speaker 1: the road, do you do you primarily do shows by

24:56 Speaker 1: yourself or do you have anybody you team up with

24:59 Speaker 1: or anybody?

25:01 Speaker 2: Mostly it's so when I'm traveling, it's just me in

25:05 Speaker 2: my car going city to city. Most of my shows

25:08 Speaker 2: are me just performing on my own and I you know,

25:12 Speaker 2: my concerts can be anywhere from like an hour and

25:14 Speaker 2: a half, two hours to uh I've done up to

25:17 Speaker 2: five hours. Really a five hour concert. A few of those, Yeah,

25:21 Speaker 2: those are few and far between, but I have done

25:23 Speaker 2: a couple of them. Sometimes I do play shows where

25:25 Speaker 2: I'm playing a shorter set and there's other musicians or

25:28 Speaker 2: bands on the bill with me, but uh, typically it's

25:32 Speaker 2: I'm doing the longer concerts where it's just me.

25:35 Speaker 1: Wow, no kidding. You've done of shows was five hours?

25:39 Speaker 2: Five hours? Yeah, one in one in New Mexico and

25:42 Speaker 2: one in Wyoming.

25:43 Speaker 1: Wow, that's like Springsteen in the eighties, you do those

25:47 Speaker 1: five hour shows. Yeah, you know.

25:49 Speaker 2: It was uh yeah, there's something else and but ill Yeah,

25:53 Speaker 2: I love a challenge, so you know when they were

25:55 Speaker 2: uh in one of the venues, was like, hey, our

25:59 Speaker 2: next band cant old, can you just play five hours

26:01 Speaker 2: instead of two and a half. I was like, I'm

26:03 Speaker 2: on it.

26:04 Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, no kidding. I hope they paid you for it.

26:08 Speaker 2: I did get paid a yah.

26:09 Speaker 1: Yeah. So yeah, which was a great part.

26:11 Speaker 2: That's definitely a great part of that.

26:13 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome. Well, you want to you want to

26:16 Speaker 1: play another live one for us absolutely.

26:18 Speaker 2: I'll uh you know this next song that I'm gonna

26:22 Speaker 2: carry on with here. This is one from the brand

26:24 Speaker 2: new album uh Brian Super Happy Fun Time four And

26:29 Speaker 2: this is a little bit more of a like a

26:31 Speaker 2: serious song. I guess it's it's my version of a

26:33 Speaker 2: we are the World kind of song about how I

26:37 Speaker 2: wish everyone in the world would get together or get

26:40 Speaker 2: along better.

26:56 Speaker 5: You've gotta give a little love.

27:02 Speaker 2: And you get a little love. So what are you

27:08 Speaker 2: thinking of.

27:13 Speaker 5: Commands from heaven above? You've gotta give a little love. Well,

27:27 Speaker 5: I don't think that it's too late. Things in our

27:33 Speaker 5: world could be great. Well if we pray for peace,

27:43 Speaker 5: the wars, in.

27:44 Speaker 4: Hunger, all mecies. You gotta give a little love.

27:53 Speaker 5: And you get a little love.

27:58 Speaker 2: So what are you.

27:59 Speaker 4: Think a can of.

28:04 Speaker 5: Commands from heaven above? You've gotta give a little love.

28:17 Speaker 3: I know we can do it. Let's put all my

28:22 Speaker 3: suit with sisters.

28:24 Speaker 5: And brothers speaker to each other.

28:29 Speaker 2: I know we can do it.

28:32 Speaker 3: Let's put on my suit and make the world a

28:36 Speaker 3: better place, a better place for every one.

28:46 Speaker 4: You gotta give a little love.

28:53 Speaker 2: And you get a little love.

28:58 Speaker 4: What are you thinking again of.

29:04 Speaker 5: Commands? From having above you gotta give a little love.

29:24 Speaker 1: I like that.

29:27 Speaker 2: Me too, Thank you.

29:29 Speaker 1: That's something we could uh, we could all use, right.

29:32 Speaker 2: Yeah, give a little from the new album there and

29:35 Speaker 2: it's uh, it gets tricky too because most people know

29:37 Speaker 2: me for my my happy go lucky like semi silly songs.

29:41 Speaker 2: So but I felt like, you know, doing a serious

29:44 Speaker 2: song here and there is okay.

29:45 Speaker 1: No, I think, uh and very appropriate. I think thank you,

29:48 Speaker 1: thank you very much. Absolutely. Uh. If you are just

29:51 Speaker 1: joining us on the Saturday morning, we have Brian Bolanski

29:54 Speaker 1: here with us live in studio. Where do you now?

29:58 Speaker 1: Where do you go from here? Brian? Because you said

30:00 Speaker 1: so your last show was in Canada? Is that right?

30:02 Speaker 2: Yeah? Last night played in Edmundston, New Brunswick. After I

30:08 Speaker 2: leave the show here, I am headed to Swansea, New Hampshire,

30:12 Speaker 2: where I will be playing at the West La Beer

30:15 Speaker 2: Company today from three pm to six pm.

30:18 Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, very cool, very cool.

30:21 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and it's it's great to be back in

30:24 Speaker 2: New Hampshire.

30:25 Speaker 1: How much of the how much of the country have you?

30:28 Speaker 2: Like?

30:28 Speaker 1: Do you keep track of how many states you've played it?

30:30 Speaker 2: Oh? Yes, that's something that as a matter of fact

30:35 Speaker 2: I list them out in the bio. It's been forty

30:37 Speaker 2: nine states and twenty five countries abroad that I've performed in.

30:41 Speaker 1: Wow, what's the one state you haven't hit?

30:45 Speaker 2: Alaska?

30:45 Speaker 1: Alaska.

30:46 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're they're not going to get away from

30:48 Speaker 2: me forever. I'll eventually get there. They're they're they're in

30:51 Speaker 2: my sights.

30:52 Speaker 1: Yeah. How many times, like how many times have you

30:55 Speaker 1: gone overseas to do tourists?

30:57 Speaker 2: So this this year would have been my fifth time

31:02 Speaker 2: going overseas to uh to Europe uh, And I've done

31:06 Speaker 2: one Central American and one Asian tour in the past,

31:11 Speaker 2: and I'd love to uh love to get back to

31:14 Speaker 2: Asia and Central America was was pre COVID, So I'd

31:17 Speaker 2: love to get back to both those places. And you know,

31:19 Speaker 2: I've still still got Australia and Africa and South America

31:23 Speaker 2: and you know, to to get to and then uh

31:27 Speaker 2: finally Antarctica eventually. Oh okay, so yeah, yeah, that's my

31:31 Speaker 2: my life stream is to perform in all seven continents.

31:34 Speaker 2: Well I'm still still here.

31:38 Speaker 1: Do the do the challenges they come with touring change

31:41 Speaker 1: when you go like Central America or is it all

31:45 Speaker 1: I mean? Or is it the same challenges, but just

31:47 Speaker 1: more severe, shall we.

31:49 Speaker 2: Say, Uh, you know, it's kind of the same. Like Luckily,

31:53 Speaker 2: well Central America. I'm not great speaking Spanish, but I'm

31:56 Speaker 2: a little bit better at Spanish than any other langguage. Okay,

32:01 Speaker 2: you know, I think language well. Luckily, a lot of

32:03 Speaker 2: people abroad speak English as a second language, so that

32:08 Speaker 2: between that and me, I always try to learn at

32:11 Speaker 2: least a little bit of every country I go to.

32:14 Speaker 2: That got a little trickier when I was in places

32:16 Speaker 2: like Finland and Latvia and even like Poland was really tricky.

32:21 Speaker 2: French and Italian and German a little bit easier, a

32:25 Speaker 2: little bit closer to English. But yeah, I always make

32:29 Speaker 2: sure I sing in English, but when I'm talking to

32:32 Speaker 2: the audience in between songs, I always learn how to say.

32:36 Speaker 2: This next song is from my last album. As a

32:39 Speaker 2: matter of fact, yesterday in New Brunswick, I was in

32:42 Speaker 2: a French speaking part of the province there, so I

32:45 Speaker 2: got to practice my French again last night speaking to

32:49 Speaker 2: the audience there. But you know, same kind of challenges.

32:53 Speaker 2: I just do a lot of online research and find venues,

32:57 Speaker 2: and after I get my venues booked, I try to

32:59 Speaker 2: find you know, radio newspapers and stuff to promote the

33:02 Speaker 2: shows and uh, and yeah, yeah, it's just it's a

33:05 Speaker 2: labor love, a lot of a lot of hours spent.

33:07 Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow. What what was the most challenging place that

33:13 Speaker 1: you've played geographically?

33:14 Speaker 2: Oh, I would have to say Thailand when I was there,

33:19 Speaker 2: just it was it was trickier to find venues there. Luckily,

33:23 Speaker 2: I had kind of like boots on the ground. I

33:25 Speaker 2: had some friends that lived in Thailand and and they

33:29 Speaker 2: were the ones that helped me book the majority of

33:31 Speaker 2: my shows in Thailand. So it would have been a

33:34 Speaker 2: lot more challenging if I didn't have friends already there

33:36 Speaker 2: kind of like you know, going to places like in

33:39 Speaker 2: person and and you know talking me up to uh,

33:42 Speaker 2: different music venues. So so that was kind of challenging.

33:47 Speaker 2: But it was also probably one of the most fun

33:49 Speaker 2: countries abroad really just because it was you know, such

33:53 Speaker 2: a different culture and uh and the people there were

33:55 Speaker 2: so friendly, so amazing and great food too.

33:58 Speaker 4: Yeah.

33:58 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome. That's awesome. You want to play another one?

34:03 Speaker 2: Sure? Absolutely so. This next song that I'll carry on

34:07 Speaker 2: with us from my album two albums Ago, Brian's Super

34:10 Speaker 2: Happy fun Time too. And this was the main single

34:15 Speaker 2: from that album. It's called Elf Girlfriend.

34:23 Speaker 4: She's an elf in the woods and she's magic. If

34:28 Speaker 4: she turned me away, it be tragic. I feel like

34:35 Speaker 4: I've known her for years. I really like her point

34:39 Speaker 4: of years. She's an oath in the woods. I discovered

34:45 Speaker 4: she's an o Now I think I'm gonna love her.

34:51 Speaker 3: I know she lives inside a tree. That's really who

34:56 Speaker 3: came with me?

35:03 Speaker 4: Well, I'm so intrigued, and I never knew that she exists.

35:11 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's true because my life was bad, but

35:17 Speaker 4: now it's cool. Well, I know what I gotta do.

35:24 Speaker 4: She's an oath in the woods and she's magic. And

35:30 Speaker 4: she turned me away, it be tragic. I feel like

35:37 Speaker 4: God known her for years, really.

35:40 Speaker 3: Like her pointy years. She's an oath, prettier than Princess

35:45 Speaker 3: eu the I'm quasimodou.

35:49 Speaker 4: She's as moral.

35:53 Speaker 3: I know she lives inside a tree. That's really okay

35:58 Speaker 3: with me. She's my oath. She's my health, golfriend, she's

36:04 Speaker 3: my health. She's my health goffriend. She's my health. She's

36:12 Speaker 3: my health gofend gol friend.

36:18 Speaker 1: Duh, very nice, very nice, Thank you very much. Did

36:22 Speaker 1: you meet an actual health in the woods?

36:25 Speaker 2: No, that song it is a fairy tale. Okay, that

36:30 Speaker 2: did not. Actually, even though most of my songs are

36:32 Speaker 2: actually you know, I'm singing them all from my own perspective,

36:36 Speaker 2: so that one.

36:37 Speaker 1: Yeah.

36:37 Speaker 2: Actually, I when COVID hit in twenty twenty, I and

36:43 Speaker 2: nobody was sure if things were going to open soon

36:46 Speaker 2: or not. Of course they wind it up not So

36:48 Speaker 2: I spent many months camping in national forests, and I

36:53 Speaker 2: like to do a lot of research on anything I'm doing,

36:56 Speaker 2: and I kept researching that a lot of people would

36:58 Speaker 2: see supernatural creatures in the national forests, and some of them,

37:04 Speaker 2: most of the almost all of them were like bigfoot sasquatch,

37:08 Speaker 2: scary threatening things. And then you'd hear a few people

37:11 Speaker 2: talk about like the pixies and fairies and like the

37:13 Speaker 2: more benevolent kind of creatures. And I've always been a

37:17 Speaker 2: fan of supernatural stuff. So I was like, well, let

37:19 Speaker 2: me do a song about, you know, instead of like

37:21 Speaker 2: a big scary bigfoot, if there was like a benevolent

37:24 Speaker 2: creature in the woods. So so yeah, fit little fairy

37:27 Speaker 2: tale song there. When I was bored in the woods

37:30 Speaker 2: for three months, the COVID quarantine.

37:33 Speaker 1: Oh very cool. Do you remember the first song you

37:36 Speaker 1: ever wrote?

37:37 Speaker 2: Oh? I do, actually, yes, I do, the first good one.

37:43 Speaker 2: You know. I guess there was like some proto songs,

37:45 Speaker 2: but but yes, I actually do. I you know, used

37:49 Speaker 2: to write them all down in notebooks and and yeah,

37:53 Speaker 2: that's a very good question. I actually do remember, what

37:56 Speaker 2: I think, at least the first one that that you know,

37:59 Speaker 2: was written down and and everything.

38:01 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely did it? Did it survive or did you leave?

38:06 Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I had resurrected it and

38:08 Speaker 2: put it on the very first Brian super happy fun time.

38:11 Speaker 2: Oh cool, Yeah, you know, and it's funny too. A

38:13 Speaker 2: lot of times, you know, when I release music, I

38:17 Speaker 2: like to release albums. I know a lot of musicians,

38:19 Speaker 2: I guess I'm old fashioned that way. A lot of

38:21 Speaker 2: musicians these days just like to do singles and EPs.

38:24 Speaker 2: But uh, I don't know from from what I hear,

38:26 Speaker 2: you know, albums are still the way to go because

38:29 Speaker 2: I look at albums kind of like a painting, and

38:32 Speaker 2: one song is like, you know, one thing in the painting,

38:35 Speaker 2: like one of the tree in the landscape painting or whatever.

38:38 Speaker 2: So I like to do that and a lot of

38:40 Speaker 2: times I'll go back to like my really early songs,

38:43 Speaker 2: and you know, when I'm trying to, you know, I'm like, oh,

38:46 Speaker 2: I need I need three more songs for this album.

38:48 Speaker 2: I'm like, wait a minute, all right, that part of

38:50 Speaker 2: that song was good, This part of this song was good.

38:53 Speaker 2: So sometimes I frankenstein songs together too. Yeah, yeah, but

38:57 Speaker 2: it did survive. Yeah.

38:59 Speaker 1: Subject that comes up a lot on the show is,

39:01 Speaker 1: you know, because we live in a time where there's

39:02 Speaker 1: so many different strategies you can use for releasing music,

39:05 Speaker 1: and you know, some artists just do EPs, or some

39:08 Speaker 1: just do singles, or or some of our guests that

39:11 Speaker 1: we've had in recent years, their strategy is to release

39:14 Speaker 1: a series of singles that eventually become an album. Kind

39:17 Speaker 1: of the inverse right of what we're used to traditionally.

39:21 Speaker 2: But indeed, and I've done that before in the past,

39:26 Speaker 2: and yeah, there's no wrong way to do things. Of course,

39:28 Speaker 2: what I've been doing. As a matter of fact, last

39:30 Speaker 2: year I put out the album full album Brian's Super

39:33 Speaker 2: Happy Fun Time three, but I also put out an

39:35 Speaker 2: EP of all non album tracks. I'm a big Beatles fanatic,

39:40 Speaker 2: and one thing I loved about them is that their

39:42 Speaker 2: EPs and their singles were almost always things that were

39:46 Speaker 2: not on their albums. They like they wanted to make

39:48 Speaker 2: sure their their customers were getting their you know, getting

39:51 Speaker 2: their money's worth. So that's something I do if I

39:54 Speaker 2: ever do an EP or a single, I try to

39:56 Speaker 2: make sure that it's not something that you can just

39:58 Speaker 2: get on the album and make your fans buy something twice, right,

40:03 Speaker 2: So that's something I tried to do too.

40:05 Speaker 1: That's like a British thing. I feel it is, because

40:08 Speaker 1: you know a lot of yeah, a lot of British

40:10 Speaker 1: artists would do that, not not even necessarily then, but

40:16 Speaker 1: even in more recent years like Oasis when what went

40:19 Speaker 1: well of course, if Jesus it was back in the

40:21 Speaker 1: nineties now when Oasis fir scot Big seems like more recent.

40:24 Speaker 1: But I noticed, uh, they right from the beginning, did that.

40:29 Speaker 1: Like one of my favorite Oasis song, which happens to

40:32 Speaker 1: be Acquiesce, was originally the B side.

40:35 Speaker 2: You know.

40:35 Speaker 1: It eventually came out on the Best Of album, but

40:37 Speaker 1: it was originally a B side that was not not

40:41 Speaker 1: released on an album.

40:42 Speaker 2: No kidding, you know, and I'm and yeah for me

40:47 Speaker 2: Like Nirvana, another one of my big, big inspirations and

40:51 Speaker 2: I loved Like to me, that was like just the

40:53 Speaker 2: best thing, getting a single with a B side that

40:56 Speaker 2: you could not get anywhere else, and me like, this

40:58 Speaker 2: is the best song. Why is it just on the

41:01 Speaker 2: B side to the single? It seems like the B

41:03 Speaker 2: sides are always the best songs we should uh.

41:06 Speaker 1: So we're running out of time. I'd love to get

41:10 Speaker 1: you to play one one more, but before we do that,

41:13 Speaker 1: I want to make sure our listeners know too, uh
