4:03 Speaker 1: Jack and Cora is here with us live in studio.

4:06 Speaker 1: What a great song, Jack, Oh, thank you very much.

4:08 Speaker 1: Really like that a lot you? Uh Where did you

4:10 Speaker 1: record that?

4:11 Speaker 6: That was at the Studio Portland in Portland, Maine. Now

4:14 Speaker 6: the Studio Portland they do these things called live sessions

4:18 Speaker 6: where they have six or seven, maybe eight musicians come

4:22 Speaker 6: in and then you get to do three songs performed

4:24 Speaker 6: live in front of an audience. Okay, Yeah, it's a

4:28 Speaker 6: good opportunity. It's the price is good, you know, compared

4:32 Speaker 6: to going into a studio and actually recording. Yeah, so

4:35 Speaker 6: it's it's definitely worth it.

4:37 Speaker 1: Yeah, very cool. Is that something that you'll you'll do

4:40 Speaker 1: again in the future, like, well, they have you back

4:42 Speaker 1: or yeah?

4:42 Speaker 6: I mean you can. You know, it's not like you

4:44 Speaker 6: have to get invited or anything. You can just oh wow,

4:47 Speaker 6: you just sign up for it. Yeah, that's my second

4:49 Speaker 6: time doing it. I'll probably do it again, but I

4:51 Speaker 6: think the next time I want to actually really do

4:54 Speaker 6: an actual recording session, no live audience.

4:56 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh sweet Jack, I'm just gonna ask you to

4:58 Speaker 1: get get closer to that. Yeah, there we go. Oh,

5:00 Speaker 1: no problem, no problem. And you did. Now you sent

5:04 Speaker 1: us a few studio tracks. Were these all done there? Yes? Okay,

5:07 Speaker 1: they were okay, very good. Now you came to us

5:10 Speaker 1: through our friend Temple Mountain.

5:12 Speaker 6: That's great.

5:12 Speaker 1: I assume have you shared the stage with him? Have

5:14 Speaker 1: you guys played shows together or how do you How

5:16 Speaker 1: do you guys know each other?

5:17 Speaker 6: He he's from the Keene area. I was doing a

5:20 Speaker 6: show in Keene, New Hampshire and he actually came out

5:23 Speaker 6: he'd heard about me. We both worked for the the

5:25 Speaker 6: NH Music Collective.

5:26 Speaker 1: Oh okay, so that's.

5:27 Speaker 6: How we kind of we knew each other from social

5:30 Speaker 6: media status. I guess. Yeah, he saw me. Uh we

5:34 Speaker 6: we hit it off. We talked for just talking music,

5:37 Speaker 6: you know. Yes, and actually we a couple of weeks

5:40 Speaker 6: about a month ago now, we did a songwriting competition

5:43 Speaker 6: together up in Guildford and I got to see him again.

5:47 Speaker 6: He plays first, I got second. So yeah, it was

5:50 Speaker 6: it was but it was a great it was you know,

5:52 Speaker 6: he's he's a great songwriter. It was I'd known about

5:55 Speaker 6: him and it was finally good to Yeah.

5:57 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. We've had him on the show what

5:59 Speaker 1: three times now, Jenny something like that. A few, Yeah,

6:02 Speaker 1: because we've we've had him at least a couple of

6:04 Speaker 1: times here and a couple of times at the old studio,

6:06 Speaker 1: I think. So yeah, No, he's amazing and he's he's

6:10 Speaker 1: interesting too because you know, because of his his career,

6:14 Speaker 1: his day job so to speak. Well actually he's still

6:16 Speaker 1: going to school for it, for psychology. But yeah, he's

6:20 Speaker 1: just really remarkable to to talk with. Do you play

6:23 Speaker 1: out a lot? Do you do a lot of live shows.

6:24 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm out every week, three four shows a week, Yeah,

6:27 Speaker 6: every week.

6:27 Speaker 1: Yeah, excellent.

6:28 Speaker 6: My this is just what I do, you know, no

6:30 Speaker 6: other jobs. What I'm doing right now.

6:31 Speaker 1: Good for you. That's outstanding. Yeah, yeah very much. How

6:34 Speaker 1: long have you been doing it kind of full time

6:37 Speaker 1: so to.

6:38 Speaker 6: SPA, Yeah, I'd say probably the last two years. I'm

6:41 Speaker 6: like still very new to this whole music thing. I

6:43 Speaker 6: started playing during COVID. Yeah, that's when I picked it up.

6:48 Speaker 6: And then I got out in like twenty twenty one. Yeah,

6:51 Speaker 6: I was only doing like one show a weekend, but

6:53 Speaker 6: that's when I started getting out.

6:54 Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh that's great. Yeah. So did you start Is

6:58 Speaker 1: that when you started learning to play guitar or in COVID.

7:00 Speaker 6: Well, so, my father taught me guitar, but it was just,

7:06 Speaker 6: you know, just I grew up with a lot of

7:08 Speaker 6: Johnny Cash, so those three four chord songs. His father

7:11 Speaker 6: taught him, my grandfather, and so it's kind of been

7:13 Speaker 6: a tradition thing, and I never really had an interest

7:15 Speaker 6: for it in school. You know. He probably taught me

7:17 Speaker 6: when I was like eight. You know, I played, you know,

7:21 Speaker 6: maybe three times a year total, and then you know,

7:23 Speaker 6: Covid hit and I just had all that free time,

7:25 Speaker 6: and yeah, I'd always been a huge fan of music,

7:28 Speaker 6: you know, like anybody else, but yeah, I had the time,

7:31 Speaker 6: and I just fell in love with it.

7:33 Speaker 1: Now, what about in terms of singing, are you self taught?

7:37 Speaker 1: Did you take lessons or singing?

7:39 Speaker 6: No, I've I've never taken lessons, I guess just my

7:42 Speaker 6: only lessons are just cranking the radio up in the

7:45 Speaker 6: car and just blaring it out, you know. Yeah, that's

7:48 Speaker 6: really it. I was always scared to sing in front

7:51 Speaker 6: of people, so that was a big thing for me

7:54 Speaker 6: when I started singing. I wouldn't even sing in front

7:56 Speaker 6: of my parents. So I yeah, but I did it,

8:01 Speaker 6: and yeah, it's taking me take me pretty far since then.

8:06 Speaker 1: So you've got a great voice, who would you who

8:08 Speaker 1: would you tend to listen to? Are there specific artists

8:10 Speaker 1: that you would tend to listen to and sing along

8:12 Speaker 1: to to really train your voice?

8:14 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I mean, I my parents grew up

8:17 Speaker 6: in the nineties, so I grew up with all those

8:19 Speaker 6: nineties bans, you know, Parl jm Alice and Chains all

8:21 Speaker 6: that stuff. So those were like for me starting out singing,

8:25 Speaker 6: those were like my go tos. Yeah, maybe even like

8:27 Speaker 6: more match Bucks twenties kind of more my my style,

8:31 Speaker 6: Rob Thomas.

8:32 Speaker 1: But I can hear I can hear that.

8:33 Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, can you hear yeah? Yeah. But like when

8:36 Speaker 6: I the reason I got into music was like classic

8:38 Speaker 6: rock scene, you know, Zepling, Black Sabbath, That's that's really

8:42 Speaker 6: got me going. But I can't sing that that stuff exactly.

8:48 Speaker 6: I can try.

8:49 Speaker 1: But yeah, And while this was happening during COVID, while

8:52 Speaker 1: you were learning to play guitar, and you know you

8:56 Speaker 1: obviously you've been training your voice singing, were you also

8:59 Speaker 1: did you start writing songs at the same time or

9:02 Speaker 1: did you already have song ideas or did that come later.

9:04 Speaker 6: No, I've only been writing for less than a year,

9:08 Speaker 6: like last January, Yeah, till I started. I you know,

9:10 Speaker 6: it's it's a big confidence thing, you know, writing something

9:14 Speaker 6: and actually playing it in front of people. So it

9:17 Speaker 6: sind of took me a while to build that up.

9:19 Speaker 9: Yeah.

9:19 Speaker 6: Yeah, but yeah, no, I'm still like, you know, I

9:22 Speaker 6: don't know what kind of music I'm going to be

9:24 Speaker 6: reading this, you know, I don't know what my genre is.

9:26 Speaker 6: I'm still trying to figure it out. Yeah, I always experimenting,

9:29 Speaker 6: So yeah, still trying to find my voice.

9:30 Speaker 1: Yeah in that sense. Yeah, well you've got that. There's

9:33 Speaker 1: that singer songwriter genre which is very sort of broad,

9:36 Speaker 1: but you know, obviously you fit into that and I

9:39 Speaker 1: and you know, I can imagine, I mean at radio

9:41 Speaker 1: in terms of format you'd fit in, well, you know,

9:43 Speaker 1: in the Americana format. I would think, like, I don't

9:45 Speaker 1: know if you've been played on or if you've submitted

9:48 Speaker 1: any music to the River in Boston. I have not

9:51 Speaker 1: known that that's the station that I can imagine, you know,

9:53 Speaker 1: a commercial station that would pick you up. And I

9:56 Speaker 1: think you do very well at college radio as well.

9:58 Speaker 1: But now that's that's great. How many how many songs

10:02 Speaker 1: have you written? Can you put a number on it? Yeah,

10:04 Speaker 1: because I bet once you really started writing, it took off.

10:07 Speaker 1: I would imagine you've written a lot of songs since then.

10:09 Speaker 6: It's probably been like twenty, but there's probably three or

10:13 Speaker 6: four that I would actually play live. Really, it's just

10:16 Speaker 6: those first ones are just I don't think they're ever

10:19 Speaker 6: going to be good for I mean maybe for some

10:20 Speaker 6: people they write one song and it's great, but yeah,

10:22 Speaker 6: you know, it's it's like playing it's like learning guitar,

10:25 Speaker 6: you know, it's like it you get it gets better

10:28 Speaker 6: and better as you keep on doing it. Yeah, at

10:29 Speaker 6: least for me.

10:30 Speaker 1: Yeah, you do a lot of covers to fill out.

10:32 Speaker 6: The yet yep, I mean that's what I started doing. Yeah,

10:36 Speaker 6: so I mean now it's like, you know, I would

10:38 Speaker 6: be practicing covers when I first started all the time.

10:40 Speaker 6: Now it's like I don't even I have my three

10:43 Speaker 6: hours of covers and now it's just kind of focus

10:45 Speaker 6: on songwriting and getting better on the guitar.

10:47 Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, you want to play something for us

10:51 Speaker 1: dining here? You to play live?

10:52 Speaker 9: Yeah?

15:25 Speaker 1: is here with us live in studio on this Saturday morning.

15:29 Speaker 1: Here tell us talk about you know, we talked about

15:31 Speaker 1: influences in terms of your singing and what about songwriting.

15:35 Speaker 1: Who are some of the artists who've influenced you that way?

15:37 Speaker 1: Because I love your songs and you know again, I've

15:40 Speaker 1: listened to all three tracks that you sent us and

15:41 Speaker 1: this is really really good, So I'm curious about who

15:44 Speaker 1: your influences are. Yeah.

15:46 Speaker 6: For songwriting, oh geez, I mean it's so vast. I mean,

15:52 Speaker 6: if we're talking like today's songwriting, Chris Stapleton's really like

15:56 Speaker 6: the pinnacle for me. I think personally, I think his

15:58 Speaker 6: songwriting is.

15:59 Speaker 1: Just that name comes up a lot when I asked

16:02 Speaker 1: this question. Yeah, it's interesting.

16:03 Speaker 6: He's just I mean, to begin with, he before he

16:07 Speaker 6: was famous and you know, released his own stuff, he

16:09 Speaker 6: was writing songs in Nashville for other artists, and so

16:14 Speaker 6: he's just a maestro in that aspect. I mean, he

16:18 Speaker 6: really knows what he's doing. I personally think lyrically, vocally,

16:23 Speaker 6: and he's a great guitar player too. He doesn't get

16:25 Speaker 6: much shine for his guitar playing. He's a great guitar player.

16:29 Speaker 6: So I mean, yeah, if I'm looking up to someone

16:31 Speaker 6: or if I'm trying to take notes for someone, it's

16:32 Speaker 6: going to be Stapleton.

16:33 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, anybody else you can think of offhand.

16:37 Speaker 6: I mean, you know, it's funny. I played. So I

16:39 Speaker 6: played in a band, a three piece band. We were

16:41 Speaker 6: a classic rock band. So like a lot of like

16:44 Speaker 6: what we were doing in terms we would write songs.

16:48 Speaker 6: We would do some blue stuff, we do some hard

16:49 Speaker 6: rock stuff. So in that sense, it was like the Zeppelin,

16:52 Speaker 6: the Sabbath, even tool we would go, you know, we

16:56 Speaker 6: would write some two like songs. So I mean on

17:00 Speaker 6: the setting, you know, I you know, I like the

17:02 Speaker 6: new stuff in terms of inspiration that the old stuff too,

17:05 Speaker 6: you know. It's yeah, it's all over the place. Really.

17:07 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, what was the band called?

17:10 Speaker 6: We were called Young Guns. We broke up, but we're

17:12 Speaker 6: actually getting back together. Oh in a couple of months.

19:15 Speaker 6: Yeah, they don't They don't play out much. I mean,

19:17 Speaker 6: I mean, like he's an actor, he's always out filming there.

19:21 Speaker 1: Yeah.

19:21 Speaker 6: They I think they only do a few shows a year.

19:23 Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, cool. Cool. Now when you play out

19:26 Speaker 1: do you usually do is it you do like a

19:29 Speaker 1: three hour set? Is it? Is it just you most

19:31 Speaker 1: of the time?

19:32 Speaker 6: Just me kind of guitar?

19:33 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, now is it always just you? In terms

19:37 Speaker 1: of like do you ever have guest musicians or anything,

19:40 Speaker 1: because obviously what you're doing would lend itself to that.

19:43 Speaker 1: You ever came up with anybody?

19:44 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean I had a gig at the

19:46 Speaker 6: Backyard Brewery last night and there's a guy that works

19:50 Speaker 6: in the same Anach music collective, and I was like,

19:52 Speaker 6: come on up and we singing like four songs. You know.

19:55 Speaker 6: Happened again the night before, a couple of artists I

19:58 Speaker 6: know that they played out and they ca to see

20:00 Speaker 6: me and had them come up.

20:01 Speaker 1: Oh very cool.

20:02 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's always fun.

20:03 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's nice to do something too. I would

20:06 Speaker 1: imagine where and I say I would imagine because I've

20:08 Speaker 1: never been in that situation. I used to play in

20:10 Speaker 1: a lot of bands, but it was never anything where

20:13 Speaker 1: like what you're doing where you can just have other

20:15 Speaker 1: people kind of join you, you know. I was just

20:17 Speaker 1: always in rock bands where it was, you know, just

20:19 Speaker 1: four dudes and we're just you know, doing the same

20:21 Speaker 1: thing every show, and there's not that flexibility to just

20:24 Speaker 1: have people come up. So I alway thought it'd be

20:26 Speaker 1: fun to do something like that. So that must be

20:28 Speaker 1: nice to be able to do that.

20:29 Speaker 5: Yeah, it is.

20:30 Speaker 6: But like you know, like you said, I totally understand

20:32 Speaker 6: that whole you know, rock you know, being in a

20:34 Speaker 6: band thing. You know, people will you know, if I

20:36 Speaker 6: get a request for a song when I'm alone, I

20:38 Speaker 6: can probably do it if I know it right. If

20:40 Speaker 6: you're in a band, though, it's right, you know, if

20:42 Speaker 6: you guys have never played it, it's.

20:43 Speaker 1: Not happening right, exactly, exactly totally.

20:46 Speaker 6: I get that.

20:47 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, when you started playing because you were playing

20:52 Speaker 1: in the band. Let me make sure I've got the

20:54 Speaker 1: timeline right. Were you playing in the band before you

20:57 Speaker 1: started doing solo gigs? Live?

20:59 Speaker 6: Started right? Both?

20:59 Speaker 1: The oh you started both at the same time? Okay,

21:02 Speaker 1: did was playing in the band easier in some ways,

21:05 Speaker 1: like less pressure because I would always imagine because again

21:08 Speaker 1: I've never done what you do, but I would imagine

21:10 Speaker 1: because there's to me, like there was always a safety.

21:13 Speaker 1: There's a safety to being in a band when you're

21:15 Speaker 1: in a band and it's you and some other dudes

21:17 Speaker 1: and you're on stage, especially for someone like me. I'm

21:20 Speaker 1: a bass player. So if I'm playing in a metal

21:23 Speaker 1: band and it's loud, and if there's anyone in the

21:26 Speaker 1: band who can get away with making a mistake, it's

21:28 Speaker 1: the bass player, Like like oops, I played an A

21:30 Speaker 1: instead of an E. Nobody knows, but I would imagine

21:34 Speaker 1: that's a lot less pressure being in that band than

21:37 Speaker 1: being just you on stage, because then all the focus

21:41 Speaker 1: is on you. I mean, was that scary at first?

21:43 Speaker 1: Was that intimidating?

21:44 Speaker 6: I really do see what you're saying with like the

21:46 Speaker 6: you know, the companionship of having a band. Honestly though,

21:49 Speaker 6: I felt like it was it was I felt more comfortable,

21:52 Speaker 6: really in this singing sense, being solo because I just

21:57 Speaker 6: I didn't have to focus on everybody else. Probably a

22:00 Speaker 6: three piece, I was the lead guitarist, so you know,

22:02 Speaker 6: it's like I had to really listen into everyone else

22:05 Speaker 6: with when I'm solo, I can just I'm just doing

22:07 Speaker 6: my own thing.

22:08 Speaker 1: Yeah that makes sense.

22:10 Speaker 6: But I mean, you know, playing with the band though,

22:11 Speaker 6: you know, getting to play with three other two other

22:14 Speaker 6: dudes that it's awesome, like you know, just it's it's

22:17 Speaker 6: a it's a it's a bond that is not even tangible,

22:22 Speaker 6: it's it's amazing.

22:23 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I can imagine too that being a lot

22:25 Speaker 1: of pressure of being the lead guitarist and a three piece.

22:27 Speaker 1: You know, the small the smaller the it seems like

22:30 Speaker 1: the smaller the band, the less room there is for

22:33 Speaker 1: any kind of error. I don't know's I don't know,

22:38 Speaker 1: it makes sense. It's what I'm just thinking, though it's

22:40 Speaker 1: probably that's probably not even the right way to think

22:42 Speaker 1: about it, but that's that's how I used to think

22:44 Speaker 1: about it though some of these bands I played, and

22:46 Speaker 1: it was like, yeah, it's good when it's good to

22:49 Speaker 1: know that I can make a mistake and no one's

22:50 Speaker 1: likely to know.

22:54 Speaker 6: But uh, you're the you're the backbone of the band

22:57 Speaker 6: though being a basis you know, like, yeah, you're like

23:00 Speaker 6: the most important person out there. You know, that's what

23:02 Speaker 6: keeps together.

23:03 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well there you go, there you go.

23:04 Speaker 6: That's what I think at least.

23:05 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, the songs that you play in that band

23:10 Speaker 1: or did play and we'll play again, do any of

23:13 Speaker 1: those make it into your solo set or like for

23:17 Speaker 1: covers or yeah, or even or I don't know if

23:19 Speaker 1: you had originals with them that yeah you brought.

23:22 Speaker 6: Over sometimes you know, like I said, you know, like

23:27 Speaker 6: we for example, like if I were to play a

23:30 Speaker 6: led Zeppelin, so I know I keep bringing them up,

23:33 Speaker 6: but if I were to play a led Zeppelin song

23:35 Speaker 6: with the band, it'd probably be like rock and roll

23:37 Speaker 6: something yeah, going or you know, but if I'm playing solo,

23:41 Speaker 6: it might be going to California, Yeah for example. Yeah,

23:44 Speaker 6: so I mean same bands. It just like depends on

23:47 Speaker 6: you know, a lot of the times. It's it's very different.

23:49 Speaker 1: Though, yeah than the band. Yeah that makes sense. If

23:52 Speaker 1: you're just joining us, Jack and Cora is here with

23:55 Speaker 1: us live in studio, and you want to play another one,

23:57 Speaker 1: I'd love to. Yeah, we'd love to hear you play

23:59 Speaker 1: live again. Jack is Uh, he brought his guitar. What

24:03 Speaker 1: are you gonna play for us?

24:04 Speaker 3: Uh?

24:04 Speaker 6: This is a little blue song I wrote. I was

24:08 Speaker 6: I was up late at night and I was on

24:09 Speaker 6: my phone and I saw a video of a blues

24:12 Speaker 6: artist playing on the acoustic guitar. Oh. I was like, Oh,

24:15 Speaker 6: I try something real quick. Okay, I write a little song.

24:17 Speaker 6: This is called Southbound Sugar.

24:19 Speaker 5: All right.

24:22 Speaker 6: It's gonna be a little quieter because I'm not using

24:24 Speaker 6: a pick, so it just heads up.

24:25 Speaker 9: Okay.

24:28 Speaker 12: M my baby, she's down in Georgia drinking sweet deep mixed.

27:38 Speaker 14: has the most incredible you have an amazing lose voice.

27:42 Speaker 1: Please, I'm not even kidding, Like, wow.

27:45 Speaker 6: Those one's hurt. You know. That's when I have to

27:47 Speaker 6: get you know, people. For example, when I do cover stuff,

27:51 Speaker 6: people say play pearl.

27:52 Speaker 1: Jam yeah, good jack good, Oh that's okay, yeah, or

27:56 Speaker 1: you can. Yeah, yeah, we've got if you are just

27:59 Speaker 1: joining us. Jack and Korra is here with us live

28:02 Speaker 1: in studio, and yeah, I was. I was kind of

28:04 Speaker 1: thinking the same thing as Jenny. It's like, you know,

28:06 Speaker 1: you got an old soul there. That's really good. You

28:09 Speaker 1: come from a musical family. I I kind of suspected.

28:13 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean from as young as I can remember.

28:19 Speaker 6: You know, Johnny Cash was like playing on the radio

28:23 Speaker 6: in the cars, and I grew up with that stuff.

28:26 Speaker 6: So I mean I'm an old soul when it comes

28:29 Speaker 6: to music. And yeah, I can think of my parents

28:31 Speaker 6: for that. I'm very grateful for it, you know. It's yeah,

28:33 Speaker 6: love that stuff.

28:34 Speaker 1: So your parents are your parents musicians?

28:36 Speaker 6: My dad plays guitar. Yeah, he taught me. My mom sings.

28:42 Speaker 6: They both sing, yeah, yeah, they're good singers.

28:46 Speaker 5: Yeah.

28:46 Speaker 6: It just music was always around as far back as

28:51 Speaker 6: I can remember.

28:51 Speaker 1: So it's yeah, did your dad play a band or anything?

28:55 Speaker 6: I think he So, he played in a band called

28:58 Speaker 6: the Lampey River Band. I played in this band. I

29:00 Speaker 6: was guitars. So yeah, this is actually how I first

29:03 Speaker 6: got started. My Bassis and I who we later playing

29:07 Speaker 6: the band Young Guns. Together. We go to this campground

29:11 Speaker 6: in Raymond, New Hampshire. We we have vacation there in

29:14 Speaker 6: the summer, and uh, these guys my father included, and

29:18 Speaker 6: we're like, let's start a band. So it was me,

29:20 Speaker 6: my father and three other guys in the bassis. His

29:24 Speaker 6: name's Kevin from my band, and we just started jamming

29:27 Speaker 6: and we played at the campground a bunch of times

29:29 Speaker 6: and me and my bassis were like, yeah, this is

29:31 Speaker 6: this is awesome. We got to start doing We had

29:33 Speaker 6: just started playing. We were like, we got this is

29:35 Speaker 6: right after COVID, we gotta start doing this.

29:37 Speaker 1: Yeah.

29:37 Speaker 6: So yeah, that's that's really the reason what you know

29:40 Speaker 6: inspired us.

29:41 Speaker 1: But rh yeah, right, does your dad still play or

29:45 Speaker 1: does he still Is he so active musically?

29:47 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, you know he's you know, he doesn't

29:48 Speaker 6: play out, but you know he's always down in the basement.

29:51 Speaker 6: You can always hear him strumming and singing down there.

29:53 Speaker 6: So yeah, he's always he's always playing.

29:54 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not surprised that you have what about like,

29:57 Speaker 1: do you have siblings or cousins or anybody who's also

30:00 Speaker 1: musicians or.

30:02 Speaker 6: I have two younger sisters my uh, the oldest of

30:06 Speaker 6: the youngest sisters she plays guitar. Okay, she's she just

30:10 Speaker 6: started not too long ago. She's getting pretty good.

30:12 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

30:14 Speaker 6: And then the youngest one, she's she's starting to sing,

30:16 Speaker 6: no kidding, yeah yeah. It's if you're an anchor, it's

30:19 Speaker 6: just bound to happen. Yeah, you're gonna get sucked into it.

30:22 Speaker 1: I always wonder. I don't know if anyone's researched it,

30:25 Speaker 1: if there's been any research on this, but I always

30:26 Speaker 1: wonder if there's any kind of a genetic component in

30:29 Speaker 1: terms of musicianship running in families. I don't know if

30:32 Speaker 1: there if there is something genetic to it, or if

30:34 Speaker 1: it's just if it just happens that way. Because if

30:36 Speaker 1: you're around, if you're growing up around music, then of

30:38 Speaker 1: course you're going to be more likely to want to

30:41 Speaker 1: be involved in it. It's just always interesting to me,

30:45 Speaker 1: Like I don't I don't feel like I meet very

30:47 Speaker 1: many musicians who want to interview them if I ask

30:48 Speaker 1: them that question, Like, like nobody ever says to me, no, nobody,

30:52 Speaker 1: nobody in my family ever really played an instrument. I

30:54 Speaker 1: just for some reason, I started, you know what I mean?

30:56 Speaker 6: Sure, yeah, And that happens all the time. I mean

30:58 Speaker 6: that's my basis. Nobody music in his family and he

31:01 Speaker 6: just picked it up. Oh really, Yeah, that's a that's

31:03 Speaker 6: a great point. I've always wondered that too, if it

31:05 Speaker 6: is genetic, like, yeah, that's very deep and it's Yeah,

31:08 Speaker 6: that's a great point.

31:09 Speaker 1: Now, what's kind of your forward trajectory? Obviously these songs,

31:13 Speaker 1: these studio tracks were recorded live. Do you have plans

31:16 Speaker 1: to release an album? Are you going into the studio

31:19 Speaker 1: or are you gonna put out singles or there's so

31:21 Speaker 1: many different ways to you know, to approach it in

31:24 Speaker 1: terms of releasing music, and.

31:26 Speaker 6: There is Yeah, I think I'm gonna start with singles.

31:30 Speaker 6: I'm gonna go out soon. I have some I So

31:33 Speaker 6: there's a couple of different guys that are I plan

31:37 Speaker 6: to record me which I'm looking forward to. I'm gonna

31:39 Speaker 6: I think I'm gonna do singles. You know, I still

31:43 Speaker 6: have to talk to, you know, people like Eric who

31:45 Speaker 6: are very familiar with the release process, because you know,

31:48 Speaker 6: some people just throw their stuff on Spotify and it's

31:50 Speaker 6: like nothing happens. I think there's other steps you gotta

31:52 Speaker 6: tell Yeah, you know, so that's what I I don't

31:55 Speaker 6: want to be that person. That just you know, throws

31:56 Speaker 6: something out and it just gets lost. Right. So yeah,

32:00 Speaker 6: I think by twenty twenty five, January early twenty twenty five,

32:05 Speaker 6: I'll be releasing a single. Yeah, I mean, you know,

32:08 Speaker 6: depending on how busy the studios are. But that's that's

32:11 Speaker 6: my that's my goal.

32:12 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And what about do you have plans to

32:15 Speaker 1: go out on tour like I do, a national tour.

32:17 Speaker 6: I would like to do that. That sounds great if

32:19 Speaker 6: you want to set it up. I'm down here, yeah,

32:24 Speaker 6: you know, I would love to do that. You know,

32:25 Speaker 6: I want to do this the rest of my life. Yeah,

32:27 Speaker 6: that's the that's the bottom line of it.

32:29 Speaker 5: Yeah.

32:31 Speaker 6: So yeah, I mean I'm just kind of in the

32:34 Speaker 6: I'm figuring it out still right right, I'm still very

32:36 Speaker 6: new to it.

32:37 Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like you've got some help to New

32:39 Speaker 1: Hampshire our music collectorally, they're great.

32:41 Speaker 6: Yeah.

32:41 Speaker 1: John MacArthur, he was on the show a couple of

32:44 Speaker 1: months ago, a few months ago. Yeah, he's great to

32:46 Speaker 1: talk to you. And yeah, we had I'm sure you

32:48 Speaker 1: know Rebecca Turmel.

32:49 Speaker 6: Yes, so she's wonderful.

32:50 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, she was on with us last week. And

32:52 Speaker 1: that's actually Jenny and I met her at a at

32:55 Speaker 1: a NH Music Collective event and conquered. Yeah, so they're

32:59 Speaker 1: they're doing great things and really providing a lot of

33:02 Speaker 1: information and knowledge for young artists because you know, you

33:05 Speaker 1: can really get swallowed up, you know, it's uh actually yeah.

33:11 Speaker 1: We talked about that a lot last week too with Rebecca.

33:13 Speaker 1: So it's it's so important to be able to find

33:16 Speaker 1: people who are positive, people who are knowledgeable. So I

33:18 Speaker 1: think it's great that you're how did you How did

33:20 Speaker 1: you get connected with NH Music Collective.

33:23 Speaker 6: I was doing a show in Laconia and some guy

33:26 Speaker 6: who knew John saw me play and he texted John said, hey,

33:30 Speaker 6: you got to see this kid play. And then John

33:33 Speaker 6: came to see me play at a show and that's

33:35 Speaker 6: how it started from there.

33:36 Speaker 1: Yeah. Right, and then he approached you and yeah talking yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

33:41 Speaker 1: it's amazing.

33:42 Speaker 5: You know.

33:42 Speaker 1: What's really amazing to me is I was kind of

33:44 Speaker 1: stunned when we had him on and he told me

33:46 Speaker 1: how many events they do. I had no idea. I

33:50 Speaker 1: was and and you know, and a lot of them.

33:52 Speaker 1: You know, obviously there's a kind of a division of

33:54 Speaker 1: labor there, but a lot of these events he's you know,

33:57 Speaker 1: he's going to himself and and running things, and it's like, wow,

34:01 Speaker 1: you don't uh, you don't sleep much.

34:03 Speaker 6: He's a workaholic, but yeah, sure, no, he's he's a

34:06 Speaker 6: very busy man and he they The thing about the

34:09 Speaker 6: collective is they really care about the musicians, you know. Yeah,

34:13 Speaker 6: I mean that's I think that's what makes the difference.

34:15 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Before we run out of time, do

34:19 Speaker 1: you want to play one more for us?

34:20 Speaker 8: Uh?

38:02 Speaker 2: Petty, you can be my fly starting starting.

38:44 Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it. I can see it. Yeah, Chris Stapleton,

38:47 Speaker 1: that works for you.

38:49 Speaker 5: That's beautiful.

38:51 Speaker 9: Yeah yeah.

38:51 Speaker 1: If you're just joining us on this Saturday morning, Jack

38:55 Speaker 1: and Cora is here with us alive in studio. You

38:58 Speaker 1: mentioned too, so he was he's kind of your biggest

39:01 Speaker 1: influence there from what you were saying earlier. What is

39:05 Speaker 1: it about him? Is that something that you can verbalize

39:08 Speaker 1: or is it an intangible thing that's hard to really

39:10 Speaker 1: pin down. I'm especially curious because, like I said, his

39:13 Speaker 1: name comes up a lot when I talk to artists

39:15 Speaker 1: like you about influences. I hear Chris Stapleton's name all

39:18 Speaker 1: the time.

39:18 Speaker 6: Sure, yeah, okay, Well, I mean to me, with songwriting,

39:22 Speaker 6: my thing is like, I feel like you need to

39:26 Speaker 6: have something that connects to the audience immediately, whether it's

39:32 Speaker 6: a melody, or it's the lyrics, or it's the message.

39:35 Speaker 6: I think that it needs to be immediate because that's

39:37 Speaker 6: when you got him. When you got him, you got him.

39:39 Speaker 1: Yeah.

39:40 Speaker 6: And that's the thing about Stapleton, you know, it's just like,

39:43 Speaker 6: especially in his lyrics, in the messages of his songs,

39:47 Speaker 6: it's so it's so relatable in a way. I mean,

39:51 Speaker 6: even if it's a song, he could be talking about

39:54 Speaker 6: whatever and it may have never happened to you, but

39:56 Speaker 6: you believe him. You believe what he's saying, and I

39:59 Speaker 6: think that's what's so that's what makes him so Stapleton,

40:03 Speaker 6: I guess.

40:03 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense.

40:05 Speaker 6: Yeah.

40:05 Speaker 1: Interesting. Interesting do you play? Do you play more than

40:10 Speaker 1: one of his songs when you play out?

40:11 Speaker 6: Yeah?

40:12 Speaker 1: I do a couple of his Yeah, figure it out.

40:14 Speaker 6: He's he's a very talented vocalist, so I can't do

40:16 Speaker 6: all of his songs.

40:17 Speaker 14: But yeah, oh I think, Oh I think you could.

40:22 Speaker 1: You probably could.

40:23 Speaker 14: You have an amazing voice, you really short, really do.

40:27 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely absolutely. Who who do you cover who you

40:30 Speaker 1: find especially challenging? Is there somebody that you cover who

40:34 Speaker 1: you really had to kind of figure out how to

40:37 Speaker 1: pull that one off?

40:38 Speaker 4: Yeah?

40:38 Speaker 6: Oh god, that's a hard I mean if you're doing

40:41 Speaker 6: like Alice in Chains and stuff like that, because I

40:44 Speaker 6: play a lot of places where nineties is what the

40:47 Speaker 6: people want to hear. Yeah, yeah, you know, that's that's

40:50 Speaker 6: tough because sometimes with Alice in Chains you have like, uh,

40:55 Speaker 6: Jerry can't tell you have him on the harmony too. Yeah, yeah,

40:58 Speaker 6: that's where it's hard to be like, Okay, sometimes you

41:00 Speaker 6: want to sing that harmony, right, but you also want

41:02 Speaker 6: to sing the lead. So it's it's it's kind of

41:04 Speaker 6: hard to pick one, yeah, because sometimes without like a

41:08 Speaker 6: song like if you know the song No Excuses?

41:10 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of course.

41:11 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's if you just sing it alone, it doesn't

41:13 Speaker 6: sound right right, you know. Right, So that's a tough one,

41:16 Speaker 6: you know, picking out harmonies like that. It's it's hard.

41:19 Speaker 6: I mean there's a song by the band The Weight,

41:22 Speaker 6: you know, take a Load Off, and yeah, that's you know,

41:24 Speaker 6: that's a hard one too, because all the harmonies during

41:26 Speaker 6: the chorus, it's like which one do I sing?

41:28 Speaker 1: I could sing the lead, but interesting Yeah yeah, yeah, you.

41:33 Speaker 6: Know I've heard people do you know stuff like that

41:35 Speaker 6: and they actually are just singing the harmony alone and

41:37 Speaker 6: it sounds great, right you know. So I guess it

41:39 Speaker 6: just depends on what you like and what you can do.

41:41 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, is that? What do you play?

41:44 Speaker 5: No Excuses?

41:44 Speaker 1: By a Trains?

41:46 Speaker 6: I just started practicing a friend of mine, his name's

41:49 Speaker 6: Willie Chase. He's actually a musician too. We jam together

41:52 Speaker 6: and he played that. I was like, oh, I forgot

41:54 Speaker 6: about that song. Yeah, to do that song. Yeah, so

41:56 Speaker 6: I'm kind of working on it right now.

41:57 Speaker 1: Yeah, Jenny and I are old enough to remember when

41:59 Speaker 1: that song was that that was a huge like you

42:02 Speaker 1: couldn't get away from it.

42:05 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Rooster is one of those ye my son

42:09 Speaker 6: yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, such a good song.

42:11 Speaker 5: But it's it's it's right exactly.

42:13 Speaker 14: That's my son says the same thing.

42:15 Speaker 1: It kills your boys. Yeah, that's hard to do. Yeah,

42:19 Speaker 1: I can imagine. And Lane Staley had such a unique

42:21 Speaker 1: voice too, that's nobody else really sounds like it's interesting.

42:26 Speaker 1: And then so do you have do you have anything

42:28 Speaker 1: this weekend that we should know about that we should plug?
