12:44 Speaker 3: No?

12:44 Speaker 10: I have been playing.

12:45 Speaker 12: So I started playing guitar when I was seven years old.

12:49 Speaker 12: My uncle got me an electric electric guitar, so I

12:52 Speaker 12: was playing you know Metallica, Iron Maiden, you know all

12:57 Speaker 12: the Megadeath, you know Green Day. And then when I

13:01 Speaker 12: was freshman in high school, I had to do a

13:04 Speaker 12: guitar class, so I had to get an acoustic guitar

13:06 Speaker 12: because I didn't have enough for all the kids. So

13:08 Speaker 12: sure I had to go buy one, got one, never

13:11 Speaker 12: looked back.

13:11 Speaker 2: Yeah.

13:12 Speaker 12: So I've been playing since I was like seven, and

13:13 Speaker 12: I've been doing like full time gigging for about a

13:18 Speaker 12: little over ten years.

13:19 Speaker 11: Oh, excellent, excellent. Wow. Where are you from?

13:21 Speaker 7: Uh? So?

13:22 Speaker 12: I was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Okay, moved to Nashville

13:24 Speaker 12: when I was about six years old. So I've been

13:27 Speaker 12: in Nashville since about two thousand and two thousand and one.

13:30 Speaker 11: Okay, okay, now how did you how did you when

13:35 Speaker 11: when you were starting out? I mean, did you always

13:38 Speaker 11: do a solo acoustic thing or did you play a band?

13:40 Speaker 12: An I've always done solo acoustic.

13:42 Speaker 8: Yeah.

13:43 Speaker 12: Over the years, now that I've been doing it for

13:45 Speaker 12: a while, I've been trying to work more with like,

13:48 Speaker 12: you know, bands and like get up on stage with

13:49 Speaker 12: bands and as far as that goes. But yeah, I

13:52 Speaker 12: usually just do it solo.

13:54 Speaker 11: It's easier, right, I mean it's you know, you don't

13:57 Speaker 11: depend on anybody else for yeah, their availability and in

14:01 Speaker 11: terms of rehearsing and playing shows and.

14:03 Speaker 12: All that exactly exactly. It's it's a it's a little

14:06 Speaker 12: bit it's a little bit easier to go about a

14:09 Speaker 12: business wise.

14:10 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, no doubt.

14:12 Speaker 12: Do you do covers as well or I do do

14:14 Speaker 12: covers as well?

14:14 Speaker 2: Yeah?

14:15 Speaker 13: I do.

14:15 Speaker 12: I do mostly covers even at all my shows. Yeah,

14:20 Speaker 12: coming out, So these are my first original songs that

14:22 Speaker 12: I have. Yeah, and so I mostly do covers and

14:26 Speaker 12: things like that.

14:27 Speaker 11: Yeah, how many originals do you have at this point?

14:30 Speaker 11: Would you say? I mean, can you even put a

14:31 Speaker 11: number on how many songs you have.

14:32 Speaker 12: I have about like six or seven okay, okay, I said,

14:36 Speaker 12: I rarely just started writing about maybe a year or

14:39 Speaker 12: two ago, okay, and moved back into you know, my

14:43 Speaker 12: parents and stuff, and yeah, my dad's been helping me

14:45 Speaker 12: a lot with you know, the writing, and oh good

14:48 Speaker 12: help me put together the music and things like that.

14:51 Speaker 11: What is it that motivated you to want to start writing.

14:54 Speaker 12: I'd really just want to get my own music out there.

14:56 Speaker 12: I mean, I play, I do all the covers, I

14:59 Speaker 12: play live full time, and you know the next step

15:03 Speaker 12: is to get onto my own stage. Yea, hopefully you

15:05 Speaker 12: know what I mean, and have people come and see

15:07 Speaker 12: my music. Yeah, yeah, exactly, you know, put music out

15:10 Speaker 12: there that you know, can help people along the way.

20:35 Speaker 11: covered that you found challenging to do, like vocally.

20:38 Speaker 12: Or Steely Dan Amy Winehouse really yeh yeah. Vocally they're

20:44 Speaker 12: pretty challenging. I mean some of the new Benson Boone

20:48 Speaker 12: songs that I've been working on challenging as well.

20:51 Speaker 11: Now, what is it about so somebody like I'm curious

20:53 Speaker 11: that somebody like Seely Dan for example, What what is

20:55 Speaker 11: it that's that's challenging about that?

20:57 Speaker 12: Oh my god, they are such nerds when I comes

21:00 Speaker 12: to the musicality of it. Yeah, pronunciation of when when

21:05 Speaker 12: you know you're singing, And I mean Michael McDonald did

21:08 Speaker 12: an interview about how when he was recording PEG with

21:11 Speaker 12: Donald Fagan, Yeah, and how he was very so what

21:16 Speaker 12: I'm looking for. He wanted it perfectly. He wanted it

21:20 Speaker 12: perfectly every single time. So this pronunciation with his words,

21:23 Speaker 12: how he was pronunciating it, I was singing it everything.

21:26 Speaker 12: It took him like seventeen to eighteen takes non do

21:28 Speaker 12: the harmonies on PEG or whatever he goes. It was

21:30 Speaker 12: one of the hardest things I've ever read to do.

21:32 Speaker 10: Oh wow wow.

21:33 Speaker 12: Yeah.

21:34 Speaker 11: Is it important to you when when you do these covers?

21:36 Speaker 11: Is it important to you to sing them as closely

21:38 Speaker 11: as possible to the original.

21:40 Speaker 12: I like to bring a justice but also make it

21:41 Speaker 12: my own. Yeah, give it my own twist on it

21:44 Speaker 12: in a way, so it's not oh hey, he's just

21:47 Speaker 12: you know, like the other everybody else the run of

21:49 Speaker 12: the mill, right right, Yeah, stand out a little bit.

21:52 Speaker 11: So yeah, no doubt, no doubt. What are do you

21:55 Speaker 11: have a favorite? Like, do you have a favorite cover

21:57 Speaker 11: that you do? Is there one that really kind of

22:00 Speaker 11: stands out of something to every show?

22:02 Speaker 12: I just I went over this, I get this question,

22:04 Speaker 12: actually asked a lot. Yeah, it's hard to say. I

22:08 Speaker 12: have like almost two hundred songs that I play off

22:10 Speaker 12: to on my head, so yeah, it's hard to like

22:12 Speaker 12: pick and choose. It's usually ones that like I'm like

22:15 Speaker 12: just learning or you know what i mean, just getting

22:17 Speaker 12: out there to play. Yeah, as of lately, it's been

22:20 Speaker 12: NOA Kn's Dial Drunk. I really enjoying playing that one

22:24 Speaker 12: out lately.

22:25 Speaker 10: Yeah.

22:25 Speaker 12: Yeah, it kind of always fluctuates for me.

22:27 Speaker 19: Yeah.

22:28 Speaker 22: Yeah.

22:29 Speaker 11: What's the longest show you've done?

22:31 Speaker 7: Oh?

22:31 Speaker 12: Man, the longest show I've done I think was like

22:33 Speaker 12: seven and a half hours.

22:34 Speaker 11: Oh my god. Okay, tell me about a way seven

22:37 Speaker 11: and a half hours.

22:38 Speaker 12: Yeah, it was a private pool party.

22:40 Speaker 11: Because usually when I ask people this question, I'll get like, oh,

22:42 Speaker 11: you know, we did a five hours, like seven and

22:44 Speaker 11: a half.

22:45 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah yeah. So so like I did like a

22:47 Speaker 12: lot of like the shows like l Street Tavern last year,

22:50 Speaker 12: and yeah, there was a couple of times like that.

22:54 Speaker 12: I had to do both of the shows because one

22:56 Speaker 12: of the guys canceled. Yeah, so I had to go

22:58 Speaker 12: in there early, play from like three to three thirty

23:01 Speaker 12: to seven thirty, then play seven thirty to midnight or wow,

23:04 Speaker 12: yeah it's rough. It's rough. Yeah, yeah, but why we

23:08 Speaker 12: do it? You know what I mean?

23:10 Speaker 11: When you do something like that? Do you do anything

23:11 Speaker 11: special for your voice too?

23:13 Speaker 12: Like I really just drink tea and lemons. Oh that's

23:15 Speaker 12: really all I do unesportually. I didn't drink any today.

23:18 Speaker 12: I was running late this week.

23:19 Speaker 11: Oh you sound great? Now, you sound great? And yeah,

23:23 Speaker 11: but pretty unusual to sing this early, probably right, it

23:26 Speaker 11: is for me.

23:27 Speaker 12: Usually usually I'm waking up at like three really yeah yeah,

23:31 Speaker 12: getting ready to go to work at six.

23:32 Speaker 11: Yeah, there you go, there you go.

23:35 Speaker 19: Yep.

23:35 Speaker 11: So and as far as playing, I mean, obviously, with

23:39 Speaker 11: what you do you're able to play, you know, you

23:42 Speaker 11: can play just about anywhere, but just about like do

23:45 Speaker 11: you get out of do you get out of New

23:46 Speaker 11: England much?

23:47 Speaker 12: Or do you kind of stick to I Actually I

23:49 Speaker 12: haven't played. I play in Massachusetts a lot. Yeah, do

23:53 Speaker 12: like Brownies Pub. I usually do Muddy Waters. Is that

24:00 Speaker 12: that's in Methune as well. Oh okay, yeah, and then

24:04 Speaker 12: a few other places that I've played, But other than that,

24:06 Speaker 12: I usually stay in New Hampshire.

24:08 Speaker 11: No kidding. Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, I mean it's remarkable

24:11 Speaker 11: with you do a lot of breweries. I assume I

24:13 Speaker 11: do a lot of breweries.

24:14 Speaker 12: I do, So I work with not so costly productions.

24:16 Speaker 11: Oh excellent, Dmitri, no wonder you're so busy. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

24:31 Speaker 11: Outstanding.

24:32 Speaker 12: Yeah, They've been nothing but good to me, and they

24:34 Speaker 12: helped me out with shows and you know, and then

24:37 Speaker 12: I booked myself as well, and some other people or

24:39 Speaker 12: whatever that I know through the industry.

31:02 Speaker 11: I was working for a promoter, Joe Fletcher, who's he's

31:04 Speaker 11: not here. He's on the West Coast now, but he

31:06 Speaker 11: used to. He used to have big world productions here

31:08 Speaker 11: in New Hampshire and so he was he was putting

31:11 Speaker 11: on shows around New England and he did a bunch

31:13 Speaker 11: of shows with her. But yeah, that's that's how I

31:15 Speaker 11: met her. And yeah, she was fantastic.

31:18 Speaker 12: She's absolutely incredible. So I just went and saw her,

31:22 Speaker 12: first time I've ever seen her. I used to watch

31:23 Speaker 12: her show videos all the time. My mom got me

31:26 Speaker 12: into her. Yeah, I had front row seats with her

31:29 Speaker 12: and I called out. I yelled out, shame play, shameless

32:28 Speaker 11: time where like like today, it's not even a big deal,

32:31 Speaker 11: right because of the Internet, anybody can can start a lab,

32:35 Speaker 11: you know, ut right, But she but she did it

32:42 Speaker 11: I I know she's talked in interviews about how, you know,

32:44 Speaker 11: she faced a lot of headwinds doing that. People didn't

32:47 Speaker 11: necessarily believe in her, give her a chance.

32:49 Speaker 12: They were like, I think she's done a lot for

32:51 Speaker 12: the women of the you know.

33:02 Speaker 11: who thinks she can do this?

33:03 Speaker 13: You know?

33:03 Speaker 11: But but she was determined to do it, and she

33:05 Speaker 11: did it.
