Cole Goodwin

[00:00:12] Speaker A: Come on. [00:00:15] Speaker B: This is outside the round with Matt. [00:00:17] Speaker A: Barrill for Razor Alley podcast. [00:00:22] Speaker B: My man, Cole Goodwin. How are we doing on an early Monday morning, my brother? [00:00:28] Speaker A: Yeah, this actually is not as early as. As the mornings I've been used to recently, but doing great. Fighting. Fighting allergies and making it so. [00:00:38] Speaker B: Yeah, you seem like the kind of guy that would get up early, like, if I'm. You're. How old are you? [00:00:43] Speaker A: I'm 23 going on 74. [00:00:45] Speaker B: I was gonna say you are, like, when I think of, like, a southern man, like, country, like, God fearing family man that goes out in the woods and isn't afraid to drink a cold beer, but goes out in the woods and kills shit and plays golf and does all that. Like, you're the guy that I think of. Like, when I think of, like, a. [00:01:05] Speaker A: I'll take that as a compliment. [00:01:06] Speaker B: Cause I feel like there's four different kinds of, like, things in that realm. Like, there's. There's your rednecks and hillbillies. There's kind of, like, you're very far out there, like, the white trash kind of stuff. Then there's, like, country, and then there's, like, southern. And when I think of a guy like you, I think of, like, southern in country with a redneck side. Needs it to be, you know. [00:01:26] Speaker A: That's right. You can turn it on and off. Maybe not turn it off, but, you know, turn it down a little bit. [00:01:30] Speaker B: Yeah. So you're from what's. I've said it on stage before when I've introduced you, but what's the town in Georgia? [00:01:35] Speaker A: Pooler. Right outside. Yeah, right outside of Savannah. [00:01:38] Speaker B: Right outside of Savannah. South Georgia, boy. [00:01:40] Speaker A: South Georgia southeast. [00:01:41] Speaker B: Tell us about your hometown. What's it like? [00:01:44] Speaker A: It used to be small town. Textbook. You know, walk in Walmart and know everybody there. But it is recently turning into the new savannah. [00:01:53] Speaker B: How so? What makes it expansion, man. What's the sign of, like, a small town becoming a big place? [00:01:58] Speaker A: I'll tell you. I'll tell you. When I knew, I knew we were doomed. Whenever we got a tanger outlets, we got an outlet mall. Cause we're right on the intersection of I 16 and I 95. Two major interstates. And whenever they brought that, first it was Pooler parkway. And then I remember when Pooler Parkway just had Walmart and Longhorn Steakhouse on it, and. And the rest was woods. And that was kind of my stomping grounds, me and my buddies. And then Pooler Parkway kind of expanded. And then whenever they cleared land to build the outlets, and the publix. Then I knew that it was a change coming. And sure enough, it was. And we're giant now, so. [00:02:37] Speaker B: Yeah. How many people are living in pooler, Georgia? Because that's a town. [00:02:40] Speaker A: 35,000, I think. [00:02:41] Speaker B: Wow. [00:02:42] Speaker A: Yeah. And it used to not be that way. [00:02:44] Speaker B: Wow. [00:02:44] Speaker A: I think. Don't, don't, don't quote me on that. [00:02:47] Speaker B: But then how far away is that from Statesboro? Because I know, like, Statesboro, Savannah, aren't too far from each other. [00:02:52] Speaker A: So I can, I can be from my parents house to my house in Statesboro in 50 minutes, 40 if I really try, how bad I want to get there. Yeah. [00:03:03] Speaker B: But for those who haven't been, I've talked about it a lot before. It's funny. Everybody's always like, bro, why are you talking about Statesboro? You didn't go there. You're from New York. [00:03:11] Speaker A: I don't know, dude. [00:03:13] Speaker B: Like, I've been there enough to, like, see it. How would you describe Statesboro, Georgia, to an outsider, to somebody who hasn't been. [00:03:21] Speaker A: Well, I think, kind of like, anywhere. It kind of depends on who you get wrapped up with and kind of what you get wrapped up doing. But, um, because, see, I've got family in Statesboro, so I've been going to Statesboro since I was a baby. And, you know, we do thanksgiving in Statesboro and stuff. So I get to see the, the tame, you know, easy living side of it. And I also get to see the college side of it. But, man, it, as far as the college life, there goes. You just gotta, I think you have to get in it to kind of be able to describe it and just feel it out. Cause it's wild. [00:03:50] Speaker B: It's just. [00:03:51] Speaker A: And I don't know. I'm not necessarily a wild child or, you know. No. [00:03:55] Speaker B: You'll have a good time, though. [00:03:56] Speaker A: Totally. [00:03:56] Speaker B: You're the guy at the party that's initiating the good time, not by drinking and saying something stupid, but by being the guy in the room with the guitar that everybody is listening to. That strikes me like, you know, that's your kind of involvement in that world, right? Is being the guy low key? [00:04:14] Speaker A: I'm a low key dude or playing. [00:04:16] Speaker B: At social or playing at whatever frat house or doing any of that stuff. So it's like, you get to be kind of the centerpiece of the cause. What blew me away is just how much live music, especially country music, is appreciated in that small college town. [00:04:33] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And to think, you know, because when you look at Athens, Athens has what? God knows how many bars? [00:04:39] Speaker B: Like 60 or 70. [00:04:40] Speaker A: Yeah, we played. We played Athens Saturday, and, you know, God knows how many bars and bands and jam bands, and everywhere you turn, you know, there's music going on. There's only really, like, three, four places in Statesboro that even host live music, and everybody loves it, so. [00:04:53] Speaker B: Yeah, well, I feel like there's only three or four places that are in Statesboro, right? [00:04:58] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:04:58] Speaker B: Cause it's what? It's blue room. [00:05:00] Speaker A: Blue room. Southern social, nats landing. They do the acoustic thing. They have bands every now and then and then. Newer place, Nona. Peachy in front, like a pizza place and then known as garage in the back. They have like, a, like, outside, like, arcade, outside bar, another outside bar. Big stage, and Astroturf with tables and stuff. It's really cool. We played there Thursday night, actually. It's a. It's a cool place, but, yeah, there's. [00:05:25] Speaker B: Only the four places, but every place does live music. [00:05:28] Speaker A: Yeah. And everybody likes it, so. Even the little restaurants. There's a little place, Dolan's barbecue, one of my favorite places to eat ever. They, um. Yeah, they have live music, like, three days a week for maybe four days a week. But, uh, yeah, everybody loves it there. [00:05:42] Speaker B: It's just in the water. Like, it's just in the history. [00:05:45] Speaker A: Yeah. Good stuff comes from Statesboro, man. [00:05:47] Speaker B: Yeah, dude. [00:05:48] Speaker A: Proofs in the pud. [00:05:48] Speaker B: I mean. Yeah, literally, it. It's like, you can't talk. I always say it, and people are always like, why are you so passionate about Statesboro? Like, you gotta go down there and you'll fucking understand. Like, it's. You can't talk about country music in the last 2030 years without talking about that small town, not even in between. It's like a triangle, like, I say, of, like, just degeneracy and just mixed in with, like, good hearted people. Like, just wild stuff. You got. You've got your. Your Statesboro, you've got your valdosta, and you've got your tifton. And those three, to me, are like a triangle of just chaos. Some of the wildest nights that I've ever had as a tour manager have been in those kind of towns. But guys, like, there's a wave coming up right now, and it's really cool to see coming out of South Georgia. We were put on you by. I was going to ask. I already know this isn't your first podcast. This is probably, like, your 20th podcast. [00:06:45] Speaker A: No, actually, I don't do a whole bunch of them. [00:06:48] Speaker B: Well, I'm saying the Josh Terry show. Oh, yeah, you've done that, JT, which, by the way, people have not checked out. The Josh Terry with Cody Wolf episode. All time. All time. I give Josh a lot of credit for doing that. And Josh is the guy that put us. Put. [00:07:06] Speaker A: Yeah, we put. Yeah, totally. [00:07:08] Speaker B: Yeah. Cause he's champion. Bringing guys. Bringing guys up, like yourself, like your good buddy will mosely. Like your good buddy Riley Anderson. And then there's just a scene coming out, like, since I've been in town, thinking of the guys and girls that have come out of Statesboro. Cause I moved here 2018. [00:07:26] Speaker A: Oh, really? [00:07:26] Speaker B: So I moved here the same time as Dylan Marlowe. Yeah, I moved here right about the same time. Shortly after I moved here was when Brian Fuller got here. [00:07:32] Speaker A: I know Brian. [00:07:33] Speaker B: Yep, Brian got here. Trey Landon had already been up here. And then shortly after that, Bryce Leatherwood comes up here, and it's like, there's just this chain now, this new wave of guys like yourself. [00:07:45] Speaker A: I'm still dating Nashville. I'm not here yet. [00:07:47] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. I know you're not here yet, but I mean, like. But guys that are starting to pop up in the scene. [00:07:51] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. You know, I feel plugged in here. I do. [00:07:53] Speaker B: No, you definitely are. Yeah, you are, for sure. And it's like, guys like you. Will, is Riley from that south Georgia area? [00:08:02] Speaker A: Yeah, he's from. He's from, like, southwest Georgia. Okay. [00:08:05] Speaker B: Closer to Bama. [00:08:06] Speaker A: Forgive me, Riley, if I got that wrong, but, yeah, I think he's, like, maybe somewhere kind of. Somewhere down here. [00:08:11] Speaker B: Okay. [00:08:11] Speaker A: But yes, in relation to me. [00:08:14] Speaker B: And then you've got, like, what. What Gavin and Landon are doing. Like, Gavin Adcock and Landon Smith. Like, there's just. And then there's kids behind you. Guys that you're, like, are going to blow our socks away. [00:08:25] Speaker A: I got to give a shout. One of my buddies, Ben Bates, he, uh. [00:08:27] Speaker B: You have been talking about this kid a lot. He played. He was on the show with you this past weekend. [00:08:31] Speaker A: He. Two shows for us this weekend. Dude, he's. He's a nut. He's only. He's 20, and, uh, he's, like, six foot ten. I feel like. [00:08:39] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [00:08:40] Speaker A: But, uh, not that tall, but yeah, just a super good dude. What? Way wise beyond his years and very, like, in his own lane. I call him. I mess with all the time. Call him a miniature Evan Falker. He's, like, very much traditional. [00:08:53] Speaker B: Like, okay. [00:08:54] Speaker A: Kind of americana country. Like, I don't know. It's. It's good. I like it. [00:08:57] Speaker B: Where do you, how do you describe the different things of country music? Cause you're definitely in that traditional lane, and you've gotten to go on tour with the guy who's kind of at the forefront of the traditional lane, mister Zach top, which we saw Zach at the exit in this past week for that release show. And oh, my lord, he played. We've seen him. We were lucky we got in early on. Zach. We had Zach on the raise rowdy podcast with Nick and Kurt about a year ago, and I remember sitting on Nick's back porch roof thing that he's got at his house, but, you know, over there, and we were sitting out there having cigars after, and Zach just has this energy to him where you're like, this guy just has superstar written all over him. [00:09:36] Speaker A: He knows. He knows what he wants. He knows what, what he's going for, and he knows how to achieve that, and he sticks to it. And that's what I respect about him the most, is that he, he knows. He knows exactly what he's doing. [00:09:47] Speaker B: And you're learning a lot. [00:09:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:49] Speaker B: Being on the road with him and you've been gotten to go to different parts of. It's been more than. Has it been mostly just the southeast. [00:09:56] Speaker A: Or mostly southeast, which has kind of all happened fast. It's actually funny. I was talking about this with, with my family this weekend because we played. We played Wendell's with him. Oh, I love Friday night. [00:10:08] Speaker B: Shout out. Shout out to Jackie. [00:10:10] Speaker A: And it was crazy. A little dance hall, man. You know, three, three months ago, he had no idea who I was. I knew I was a fan. I'm still a fan of his, but, you know, I was a fan of his first. And whenever the tick tock thing kind of started happening and I started teasing the single that's coming out in April or this month, he, people started tagging him and my stuff, and then I was like, yeah, you know, that'd be pretty cool. And then the guys over at Peachtree put me on two of his shows, and we met there, and it's kind of. We've kind of just hit it off from there. And he's texted me and, you know, asked me to come out to do some other shows with them. And, yeah, man, he's just, he's so, so easy to get along with, such a nice dude. And like I say, I got nothing but respect for him and his craft. [00:10:49] Speaker B: Another young guy that's an old soul. [00:10:51] Speaker A: And it's funny, actually, I have it on my phone. This is, um, this is super cool, actually. This is the power of social media. [00:10:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:57] Speaker A: Curse and a blessing it is. December 1 is when I posted that. That video, the song that I wrote, somebody commented, aktop hit this man up. And then the same guy commented Friday night and said, love the way this aged. I'll be seeing you on a night in Anderson. That's pretty cool. [00:11:14] Speaker B: That is amazing. [00:11:15] Speaker A: Yeah. But, yeah. And it been blessed lately, so. [00:11:19] Speaker B: So you talk about, like, the tradition, the different, like, traditional styles of. Of country music. Like, because there is, like, that americana world that, like, the folks dip into and that you have, like, your. Your Zach Bryan's and, like, your sad shit. [00:11:34] Speaker A: Right. [00:11:34] Speaker B: And you have. Which is kind of, like. Kind of, like a little. A little rootsy in that it's. It's got that. It's mostly that acoustic, like, storyteller stuff. Right back to the roots of country music. And then you have your, like, key change, nineties, eighties style of country music, which is where, like, swangers. Yeah. Which is where you and Zach and those guys fall in. Like, it's got to be a cool time to be coming up and, like, having your moment. [00:11:57] Speaker A: Yeah, well, I don't know about having my moment yet, but, um. [00:12:00] Speaker B: Well, I would say it's. Dude, the rocket ship is the. That's, like, the point where I see you. It's like the fire is starting to light up underneath the rocket, and the smoke's going, and it's just getting ready to take off. [00:12:12] Speaker A: Thank you. [00:12:13] Speaker B: That's where I see, like, yourself. Honestly. [00:12:15] Speaker A: Thank you. Really. It, uh. It's definitely a grind. And everybody told me, you know, if this is something you want to do, be ready to work twice as hard as. As all your friends and, you know, take twice as long to see results. But, man, it's been. It's been really cool lately, and, you know, obviously, there's always a long, long way to go, but it. Yeah, it's, like, I say, been pretty overwhelming the past couple months with the things that have been happening, because, you know, six months ago, I wasn't doing near this stuff. I mean, I've been doing the whole, you know, music thing for three years now and really, really grinding at it as much as I could while I was still in college. But, man, now that school's been out and I've graduated, it is definitely just a non stop grind, but it finally feels like the wheels are starting to turn, so, like. Yeah, it's really cool. [00:13:00] Speaker B: Yeah, dude. And it's. You've had music out for quite a while. [00:13:04] Speaker A: Yeah. It's been actually, it's been a minute since we released anything. I released an ep, five songs that I wrote back in March, end of March last year, so 2023, and, yeah, I haven't released anything since then until this coming the 19th. [00:13:20] Speaker B: And it's like the. Can you feel the change in the production and just the growth of your songs and as a writer and everything? [00:13:28] Speaker A: Totally, totally. And I, um. Which. The ep that I put out, all. All those were, like. I think two of those songs of the five were old songs, but the rest of them, I, like, just kind of accidentally wrote in, like, two days time, and they all kind of ended up making that project, but, yeah. Shout out Ryan Yeomans, because he absolutely murdered the five that we. [00:13:49] Speaker B: Ryan is one of my favorite producers, and obviously, I've got a lot of connections to him. He's. He's kind of our landlord. Razor outdy office, the house of Nikki T and Muscadine Bloodline and Tyler Lassard. It's. He. Ryan has a great ear for stuff he does and knows how to work with independent artists and really collaborate on this. [00:14:14] Speaker A: Once again, proofs in the pudding. [00:14:16] Speaker B: I can't wait to hear the song, dude. Thanks for telling me all about it, too. [00:14:19] Speaker A: Thank you. Oh, I. Yeah, he, uh. Yeah, I shot the COVID for it. Uh, was. That must have been last month. [00:14:25] Speaker B: Last month and some content. [00:14:26] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, we. We knocked it all out in, like, an hour. He's. Yeah, he's the man. [00:14:30] Speaker B: We call him our content prince. [00:14:32] Speaker A: Yeah, he's. He knows what he's doing. [00:14:33] Speaker B: It's fun bringing him out on the road and, like, bringing him into, like, different bars and stuff, because it's like, Ike is. Ike has it in him to, like, be a little bit of a party guy, but he's so, like. Like, quiet, reserved. Yeah, reserved. Like, you'll just see he doesn't really. [00:14:47] Speaker A: Get rattled about anything. [00:14:48] Speaker B: No, he really doesn't. Like, we'll bring. We'll go like, we've got. We've got our first. Our time on the road starts this week. We're going to Athens. [00:14:58] Speaker A: I came from there yesterday, the Georgia rodeo. Oh, yeah. [00:15:01] Speaker B: So it's hardy young, gravy, Castello's, and Gavin, and we're bringing Ike with us to that. And we always get. We have to get to town the day early, like, a day ahead of time to set up at the fairgrounds. And it's like the night before. We'll go out in Athens. We'll bring ike out. [00:15:17] Speaker A: Generals. [00:15:18] Speaker B: That's what I was thinking I was going to ask you because I've been to Athens. I've done shows at the gath. I've done shows at. It was hedges. And then what the heck did it change the name to? It was another bar. I forget the name of it. [00:15:31] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:15:31] Speaker B: It used to be called Hedges. [00:15:34] Speaker A: I have a sister that goes there. [00:15:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:36] Speaker A: I'm never in Athens for longer than, like 24 hours. [00:15:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. So we're gonna hit that. And then the following week. And then next week we go to Auburn. [00:15:43] Speaker A: Cool. [00:15:44] Speaker B: It'll be the fourth Auburn rodeo that I've been to. And we go to sky bar the night before. [00:15:49] Speaker A: That place. I've heard that. I've never been there, but I've heard that place is absolutely. [00:15:52] Speaker B: Dude, it's like. It's like you take social and you take blue room and make it into one building. [00:15:57] Speaker A: Really? [00:15:57] Speaker B: Yes. It's the biggest bar in the south. [00:15:59] Speaker A: What? They have what's called the boom boom room or something. [00:16:01] Speaker B: The back room is a big stage, and it's crazy. They don't do original music back there, which breaks. [00:16:08] Speaker A: Really? [00:16:08] Speaker B: Yeah. It's all cover bands, so it's like velcro pygmies. [00:16:13] Speaker A: They're pretty sick. [00:16:13] Speaker B: Yes. It's like. It's like a Broadway cover band with very high production. And then they switch to a dj and it's like a club. And there's a big balcony looking over. So Ike and I and myself, me, Ike and Nikki, when we go down there, we stay up on the balcony and we just kind of look over. People watch. Oh, dude. [00:16:33] Speaker A: Dude. See, that's what I don't like, being in the chaos. I like watching the chaos from a distance. [00:16:38] Speaker B: Yes. Like being up in, like, the sound. Being up in, like, the booth at the blue room or something. Exactly. And I'm. [00:16:42] Speaker A: I'm. I don't know if we've ever seen each other at blue room. I know we've seen each other in Statesboro, but you won't catch me on the floor in blue room anymore. I'm always. I'm always just, like, keeping an eye out. [00:16:53] Speaker B: Yeah, keep an eye out and do that. But it's funny because, like, I could just start, like, bobbing his head. Like, I'm like. I'm like. We got. We got him a few beers deep. Like, I feeling good. And it's. It's a lot of. It's a lot of fun. It's cool that you work with, like, that. Our paths cross so much with the guys that you're working with, as you're coming up right now, totally small. [00:17:13] Speaker A: Well, I've learned really quickly that Nashville is giant, but Nashville is tiny. Yeah. [00:17:18] Speaker B: The music. [00:17:19] Speaker A: That makes sense. Yeah. [00:17:20] Speaker B: But he knows everybody. [00:17:21] Speaker A: Yeah, it's crazy. Everybody. Everybody I meet, I'm like, oh, do you know? So? Yeah, no, so and so. [00:17:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:17:25] Speaker A: So really cool. [00:17:26] Speaker B: And especially being a Georgia guy. [00:17:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:28] Speaker B: Like, there's so many guys because it's like a big fraternity, especially the Georgia boys. And you've gotten to meet a lot of these guys now that have been doing it for a while. Right? Like. [00:17:38] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:38] Speaker B: Like the Cole Taylor's. [00:17:40] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Coal as last month, which, to me. [00:17:43] Speaker B: That'S the perfect thing, guy, for you to be right with. You remind me a lot of him. Not just because of your first name, but, like, you remind, like. Like, in that. That kind of. That kind of world, like, there's so many different flavors of what's going on in Georgia right now. And it's like you're the guy that I see out. I could see out on the golf course playing 18 fucking well. [00:18:03] Speaker A: I usually make it about 14, and then I'm done. But, yeah, I do enjoy going and hanging out on the golf course. I'm just not much of a golfer, but, yeah, totally. Yeah, I try to be. And I feel good about it on the way there until I take, like, three swings and then. [00:18:17] Speaker B: Where was the last place you played? In Nashville? [00:18:20] Speaker A: Actually, I've never played a round of golf in Nashville. I've. When I've had, like, an hour downtime while I've been in town before, I've gone, like, hit on driving range or whatnot, but I've never played an actual round of golf in Nashville. [00:18:30] Speaker B: Wow. [00:18:30] Speaker A: I'm playing. I'm playing, actually, with Josh Terry. Playing a golf tournament with him on the 29th of this month, I think. [00:18:36] Speaker B: Oh, nice. [00:18:37] Speaker A: Up here somewhere. Old hickory, maybe? Does that sound familiar? [00:18:39] Speaker B: There's golf course, and they probably won't like me. [00:18:42] Speaker A: It's gonna be you and Josh. [00:18:44] Speaker B: Who else? Do you know who else is? [00:18:45] Speaker A: I'm not sure. I'm not sure. It's a. It's. I think it's creative vets or something. [00:18:49] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a good. That's a good one. [00:18:50] Speaker A: Yeah. So I'm on his team, but Josh, I don't think. I don't know if he knows. I don't know if he thinks I'm good or something, but, yeah, this might be, like, my one and done year with him, doing this. Whenever he. Whenever he sees me, I don't know. We've played together before. We played in Alabama. We played actually the nicest golf course I've ever played. I've been with Josh. We played Gunnersville in Alabama back in the fall with Ike, actually. And actually, me and Will Mosley flipped a golf cart that day. Yeah, we screwed around all day, like, drifting and trying to jump stuff and just being menaces. And the last hole, it started, like, drizzling rain and it was freezing cold, and we were like, all right, let's just. Let's go back. We're hungry. Let's leave. So we were actually being serious, trying to get back, and it comes down this hill, carpath does, and at the bottom of it, it splits 90 degrees both ways. And you can either hang a right, hang a left, there's a giant pine tree at the bottom of it, and then it drops off, like, 30ft onto, like, tee box. So we come down the hill, and I, like, tap the brake, and I guess it was so slick, it didn't break, it just started sliding. So I kind of looked at will and what do we do? So I was like, I can either jump it off of this ledge, hit this pine tree, or just turn and pray. So I turned and prayed, and instead of it turning, it just locked them. And we flipped it and slid down the hill immediately. You can imagine how tiny I am and how big will is. We just slid down the hill together in a golf cart, and we came to a stop at the bottom, and he was like, dude, are you okay? I was like, yeah. Are you okay? He was like, yeah. He was like, flip this thing before anybody sees us. Yeah, we didn't do that, though. I don't know anything about that. [00:20:28] Speaker B: Yeah. How did you first meet Will? [00:20:29] Speaker A: So me and Will, we graduated together from Georgia Southern. He was a marine biology major. I'm pretty sure I was a marketing major. So we didn't have any classes together, but he started kind of playing around bars, and I was doing the same thing, and my buddies knew him and his buddies knew me. So eventually it was like, oh, you need to meet my buddy will. Or, oh, you need my buddy Cole. And I think the first night we really hung out, or I went and saw him play at that place, dolan's barbecue, went and saw him play there one night, and I think he showed up to a place I was playing. And then one night we ended up sitting by a fire together with, like, 20 people and trading songs and. And from there, we hit it off. And now he's one of my best buds, actually, I talked to him last night. He. Yeah, one of my best buds. He's. We wrote the single that's coming out that I'm releasing on. We wrote that together, so. [00:21:11] Speaker B: Yeah. And he's obviously going through a lot of career stuff right now with Idol. [00:21:17] Speaker A: Yeah, he's. He's doing the thing, man. [00:21:19] Speaker B: That's got to be crazy. What was it like watching him on tv and getting them. And them highlighting his backstory? Like, they don't. [00:21:26] Speaker A: Pretty cool. They make him look. They make him look good. They make him look really pretty on tv. Really cool. Yeah, it's really cool. I'm so excited for him, and if anybody deserves it, it's him. He's good as gold. So. [00:21:37] Speaker B: Yeah. And both you guys getting to kind of come up at the same time. [00:21:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:41] Speaker B: And have this buzz. [00:21:43] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, and it's really cool, too, because literally, exact same timeline from graduation. I think we grant. We graduate the same week we've been coming. Every time I'm in Nashville, he's in Nashville, except for recently. But, um, you know, we. We kind of been side by side doing this thing together, and, you know, if I've got a question about something, it's, hey, will, have you experienced this yet? Or, you know, what do you think? Or he's, hey, have you. Have you ever met with so and so or, you know, that kind of thing? So we get to bounce ideas off each other and just kind of, you know, ask each other for advice. We. I'm sure he'll probably say the same thing. I don't know anything, man. I'm winging it, but it's always good to have somebody I can ask, you know, that maybe has been through that already, but. Yeah, totally. [00:22:21] Speaker B: Yeah. And how is it different now? What was your first trip to Nashville? Was it with. Was it with Josh? [00:22:27] Speaker A: First trip to Nashville was a few years ago, actually. I came and I had a couple song old songs that I was thinking about recording and did them acoustic. Ended up not liking them, but that was my first time. I came here for, like, three days, four days, my family, and it was very eye opening, very cool. But I ended up. I ended up not even liking the songs, so I didn't release them. And then I came back and last or middle of last year, maybe the year before, and played one of Josh's rounds, and. And I think I've been coming every month since then. So I'm up here usually, like, the first week of every month. I'll get in on Sunday night and stay till I have to leave on Thursday to go play somewhere, so. [00:23:03] Speaker B: Yeah. Where do you go? You know where you go in this weekend? [00:23:06] Speaker A: Yeah. So we've got, um, I'll be here till Thursday, leaving Thursday morning to go play Eddie's, Eddie's attic indicator with Peyton Smith. Then we've got Zydeco Friday night in Birmingham and then dueling halls and Jackson, Mississippi on Saturday. [00:23:17] Speaker B: Have you been to dueling hall before? [00:23:18] Speaker A: And I've never been to Mississippi. [00:23:20] Speaker B: Oh, you're gonna like it. [00:23:21] Speaker A: I heard there's good turkey on in Mississippi. [00:23:22] Speaker B: Yes. So, yes, I've heard that as well. I don't know shit when it comes to turkey hunting. [00:23:26] Speaker A: Dude, I saw a turkey in somebody's front yard on the way here this morning and almost ran off the road, so, yeah, I'm a, yeah, full fledged turkey. [00:23:34] Speaker B: Have you gotten to meet the muscadine guys yet? [00:23:36] Speaker A: I have not. Cause they're, I heard they're absolute turkey slayers. [00:23:40] Speaker B: Gary is. I think they, they take a break. I think they're off the road right now for a little while because it's turkey season. And Charlie goes, Charlie will go and kill some turkeys as well. But Gary, I think, has killed turkeys. It's got to be double digits now in state, in terms of states. [00:23:54] Speaker A: Like, really? [00:23:55] Speaker B: Last year he traveled to New Jersey. He traveled like, he did the whole northeast. And he was killing turkeys in like, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey. [00:24:05] Speaker A: I'll start shaking, man. You got to be careful. Yeah, I've never killed one out of state. Never killing out of state of Georgia. But, yeah, I'm addicted to it. I'm fairly new to it. I've only doing it three, four years. But, dude, it's like I told people, it's the only legal drug you can do. It's insane. [00:24:18] Speaker B: It's turkey hunting versus deer. Why? Why turkey hunting instead of deer hunting? [00:24:22] Speaker A: Because I'm a massive deer hunter, but I grew up deer hunting, so I've deer hunter my whole life. That's what my dad did. My dad never thought about a turkey, and that's why I never got into turkey hunting. But I don't know. I love deer hunting as much as turkey hunting. I'm just glad I don't have to choose. I'm glad one's in the fall, one's in the spring, because I'd be torn. [00:24:40] Speaker B: What is it about turkey hunting being the drug? [00:24:42] Speaker A: I think just, it's very, it's a very vocal style of hunt. You know, you're listening for that gobble or, you know, listen for hens or whatever, man. It's. It's visual and it's vocal and it's ground level. You know, you're. And you got to get them. I mean, the whole purpose of turkey hunting, I think, is get them inside 40 yards. You know, if you can fool one of the smartest birds, one of the smartest animals in the southeast to come think you're a hen, you know, within 40 yards and shoot them. That's. I think it's awesome. That's one of the. That's what gets me going. [00:25:11] Speaker B: That's great. I want to. I want to get out there and go hunting. I've never. I've never been. [00:25:16] Speaker A: Next time in Statesboro. [00:25:17] Speaker B: Never. [00:25:17] Speaker A: All, dude, if you make it to Statesboro before the second weekend in May, call me. [00:25:21] Speaker B: If I. [00:25:22] Speaker A: If I'm in town, we'll go. [00:25:22] Speaker B: I could kill it. That'd be a full circle Statesboro moment. [00:25:25] Speaker A: I took my sister last week and opened a day. She killed one of, like, she doesn't understand this because it's her. I was on her second time going turkey hunting, but she, like anything you could dream of to go right on a morning in the turkey woods, went right and got it all on video. 15 yards. Heard, like, six different turkeys, saw two different long beards. She killed the boss, Tom, at like 15 yards. Shot him off the hand, decoy. I'm like, Allie, you know, you don't get this. This doesn't happen, but that's awesome. [00:25:54] Speaker B: And you're very close with your family. That's something that I'm close that I've noticed like that. And I'm very close to my family, too. And, like, the family unit is so important, especially in this world that we're in. [00:26:04] Speaker A: Yeah, man. [00:26:05] Speaker B: In being in country music and Nashville and all of that stuff. So you've got. How many siblings you got? Is it the two sisters? [00:26:12] Speaker A: Yep. So I've got twin sisters. They are sophomores in college. One's at Georgia and one's at Georgia Southern. Actually, the one at Georgia, Allie, she helps me with a ton of stuff. She's a music fanatic, but more so, like, she can sing, she just won't. Both of them can sing. They just won't. But she's more so, like, the very into the, you know, behind the scenes stuff, business promotion stuff. But, yeah, she. She's taking classes in the music business program at Georgia and working an internship at the classic center there. So nice. She's all. She's all into it. Loves it. But, yeah, two sisters. Shout out Allie. [00:26:41] Speaker B: And what's the age difference? [00:26:43] Speaker A: So four years. I was. I was a senior in high school when they were freshmen. [00:26:47] Speaker B: Okay. So, yeah, I've got. I've got a brother and sister that are twins. [00:26:51] Speaker A: Oh, really? I didn't know that. [00:26:52] Speaker B: Two years younger than me. [00:26:53] Speaker A: Oh, really? Dude? [00:26:54] Speaker B: So I guess the whole, the double trouble thing and all that, it's a little different because one, for me, it's like, one's a brother, one's a sister. [00:27:02] Speaker A: Are they identical or fraternal? [00:27:03] Speaker B: They're fraternal. [00:27:03] Speaker A: Okay. Mine too. [00:27:04] Speaker B: They're fraternal, actually. [00:27:05] Speaker A: Me. So me and Lexi, the younger twin, we look more like twins than her and ally. [00:27:09] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [00:27:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:11] Speaker B: It's funny how that works, right? It's like me and my sister Julie look more like. [00:27:15] Speaker A: Really? [00:27:15] Speaker B: My brother Chris is like, blond hair, blue eyes. [00:27:17] Speaker A: It's funny. [00:27:18] Speaker B: It's funny how that, how that, how that works, but, yeah. And then your family, like, they're, they seem to be very supportive with you coming up here and, like, join you on a lot of these trips and make it. [00:27:29] Speaker A: Like, man, they followed me around all week, actually. I've got, man, my folks back in Savannah and Pooler, you know, my family friends, my parents friends that they grew up with. Dude, they are so supportive of me, and I can't thank them enough. They followed me around all weekend this weekend. I came to Statesboro, played states for Thursday night, came to that, followed me up to windalls. Came to windalls. We had, like, 15 people come from Savannah and then trucked it over to Athens last night and. Or no, was it yesterday? Sunday? [00:27:53] Speaker B: Yesterday was okay. [00:27:54] Speaker A: Saturday night, played Athens. And they cater that to, man, you know, three nights in a row all over the place. It wore me out. I know. Or them out. So, man, like I say, it's. I've been very blessed. [00:28:03] Speaker B: I mean, they came all the way up here. Oh, you. They come up to watch you play the stuff at Live Oak. To watch you play whiskey jam. To watch you play our stuff over at winners, like. [00:28:15] Speaker A: Yeah, man. It's, uh, pretty cool. Yeah, actually. Yeah, whiskey jam. They were here. Yeah, that's right. They were here last time I was up here. Yeah, because we left. Thankfully they were here because I don't know if I'd have made it. We. We played whiskey jam that Thursday night, and then we left here. Left Nashville at midnight and drove. [00:28:30] Speaker B: Yeah. How'd that gain? I haven't really talked to you since, like. [00:28:34] Speaker A: Yeah, it's been busy. [00:28:35] Speaker B: How was that whole 24 hours and getting down there? Obviously, you made it down in time. [00:28:40] Speaker A: Yeah, we did. I, um, I swore I was gonna sleep on the way there, and I didn't. I don't know. I can't sleep in a car. But, yeah, we left here about midnight and drove, made it to Macon. My grandparents live in Macon. So we did stop in Macon for, like, 3 hours, 4 hours, and took a little nap and then made it to Gainesville, Florida, by about 04:00. And it was great. It was awesome. Sold out in Gainesville with Zach top and made it home then. Actually, we left Gainesville that night after the show and got back to Savannah, like, at 04:00 in the morning. [00:29:10] Speaker B: I'm one of those guys that likes to, if I have the option to just leave and if anything, like, if it's within, like, a five hour radius, even if it's within, like, a six or seven hour radius. I've just done so many late night drives. [00:29:23] Speaker A: Nobody's on the road. [00:29:24] Speaker B: I'm like, let's just go. Especially, like, coming up, like, this week, like, I can hire the one. It's Nikki and our, and our friends Danielle and Jessa, who help us with selling merch. They're going to be in Nikki's vehicle because we have two vehicles to bring all of our shit down there. And they'll come back, they'll come back, like, the day after. They'll for sure, like, stay, get to sleep. But I can look at me and be like, we doing this? And because Ike, Ike's down to, I'm a homebody, dude. [00:29:50] Speaker A: I like to get home. [00:29:50] Speaker B: Yeah, I like to sleep in my bed or sleep my girlfriend's bed and, like, just be here in town and it's like, I will sit in the front seat. He'll stay up with me the whole time, and he'll just edit on his computer. He'll have his hotspot or whatever, and he'll just be sitting there editing all the video stuff from the event that we're leaving and then have all the videos done that night. Yeah. [00:30:10] Speaker A: Yeah. Hey, I'm all about, well, I say I'm all about productivity, but I will procrastinate some, but, yeah, man, I I figured just roll, you know? I would rather drive at night. Nobody's on the road. [00:30:19] Speaker B: Yeah. Especially going 115 miles an hour, especially coming from Athens. Where you gotta go through Atlanta. [00:30:25] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:30:26] Speaker B: I'd much rather go through Atlanta at 102:00 in the morning than 102:00 in the afternoon. [00:30:30] Speaker A: Totally. Like, I'd much rather, especially most of those days are on, like a Sunday, you know, after a Saturday night. [00:30:35] Speaker B: Yeah, this would be for Georgia. It would be coming back on a Friday night. [00:30:39] Speaker A: Oh, okay. [00:30:40] Speaker B: So for the Georgia rodeo, be coming back on a Friday night after. After that. But we got to see how the traffic is coming out of that festival, too. Some of these events, it's like you have to wait two or 3 hours after the event just to get out of the damn parking lot. It's chaos and craziness. You're a big coffee guy. [00:30:58] Speaker A: Recently. Yes. I've always like coffee. Usually. Usually I just drink coffee during deer season, in the winter time when it cools off. But, um. Man, anymore I have, like, four cups of coffee a day. [00:31:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:31:08] Speaker A: Yeah. It's pretty, pretty bad, but, yeah, that's. [00:31:10] Speaker B: Where, that's where I'm. Where I'm at. [00:31:12] Speaker A: All black, though. I don't spice. [00:31:13] Speaker B: Really? [00:31:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:31:14] Speaker B: Drink straight black, just black from the gas station coffee. [00:31:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, that's from. That's from christian chicken. That's from chick fil a, but, yeah. [00:31:21] Speaker B: It'S a christian chick is. Yeah. I call it. I call it the Lord's chick. [00:31:24] Speaker A: I really. I call it both, but, yeah, man. [00:31:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I didn't. I didn't. It's funny, I didn't really get to experience chick fil a a whole lot until I moved down here. [00:31:31] Speaker A: Really. [00:31:32] Speaker B: We have it in the northeast a lot more now, but when I first was moving down here, we didn't have it in New York, New Jersey. We didn't have it as much as they have it down here, obviously. [00:31:42] Speaker A: I used to kind of. I used to kind of talk down on it. Not like I didn't. I used to not eat it a lot, and I would, you know, and where I'm from, we have an arby's and a chick fil a right next to each other. And every day, I'd go, the chick fil a line would be wrapped, you know, three times around and nobody be at Arby's. And I'd, you know, I'd always talk trash, be like, oh, you know, no chickens worth waiting in a line that long. I'm going, Arby's. And then I started eating it, dude. I go, like, dude, the other day, I swear I ate it for breakfast, lunch, and supper. [00:32:07] Speaker B: Wow. [00:32:08] Speaker A: And I died. I've done that multiple times. [00:32:10] Speaker B: I'm hoping you have the app on your phone. [00:32:11] Speaker A: I didn't for the longest time, and then my mom introduced me to it, and now that I found out. You can win milkshakes. [00:32:16] Speaker B: Oh, bro, the points doomed. The points change everything, dude, and I'm addicted to their. [00:32:21] Speaker A: Have you ever had the cookies and cream milkshake? [00:32:23] Speaker B: No. I don't normally get the ice cream or the milk. [00:32:25] Speaker A: And anybody that's watching this that knows me, they're probably, oh, God, here he goes. But, dude, I'm telling you, you got to. [00:32:31] Speaker B: What's your order at Chick fil A for breakfast this morning? What are you getting? [00:32:35] Speaker A: I got a chicken biscuit with honey and hash browns and a coffee, black coffee. And then. [00:32:41] Speaker B: Are you. Are you a nuggets guy? A sandwich guy? [00:32:44] Speaker A: Most times. Sandwich. Most time, I get number one, no pickles, because I despise pickles. [00:32:47] Speaker B: No pickles. [00:32:48] Speaker A: Yeah, I know. [00:32:49] Speaker B: They brine the chicken in pickles. [00:32:51] Speaker A: I know. I found that out. Yeah. But I don't know if I can. If I can stay away from pickles, I'm going to, but, uh, yeah, I get the number one no pickles. Crazy barbecue sauce. Have you ever had their barbecue sauce? [00:33:00] Speaker B: Yes. I'm a chick fil a sauce guy. Like, I have to do the chick fil a sauce for. [00:33:04] Speaker A: I don't mind it, but, dude, the barbecue sauce. I'm a barbecue sauce connoisseur, man out. Really? Oh, dude. [00:33:09] Speaker B: So where's the best? [00:33:10] Speaker A: Uh, I don't eat enough of it. I don't even. I don't need enough different ones anymore to know. To put my finger on. Oh, that's the one. But, um, because I always end up grabbing something. I eat way too much fast food anymore. [00:33:23] Speaker B: Just being on the go, fucking traveling. [00:33:25] Speaker A: And that's why. And that's why chick fil a is, like, I end up eating chick fil a so much because it's just a safe bet. [00:33:30] Speaker B: And they have it everywhere, especially while you're touring the southeast. Every town has every college town in the southeast as a chick fil a and a chipotle. Yeah, pretty much every single one. [00:33:40] Speaker A: And if you gave me the option, I'm going to chick fil a every time. Yeah, between those two. So no offense to Chipotle. I just. Yeah, I'm a chick flag a, dude. [00:33:47] Speaker B: How many Sundays have you just craved it? [00:33:48] Speaker A: And just yesterday, on the way up here, dude, I was about to get off of an exit. I saw a sign, and then it hit me. I was, like, losing track of my days again. But, yeah, man, it's. I've pulled, like, I've pulled all the way in the drive through before and been like, wow, they're not busy right now. Like, oh, it's Sunday. Yeah. Pretty, pretty embarrassing, but, uh, no, man. Yeah, I love it. [00:34:08] Speaker B: It happens. Are you a big sports guy? [00:34:10] Speaker A: I used to be. I grew up playing baseball from, from t ball all the way to high school tournament baseball year round all over the place every single freaking weekend. And that's where I met some of my absolute best friends, was doing that back home and got burned out on it, man. Whenever I figured out that I could play guitar and a piano and, and figured out that I could go deer hunting and fishing on the weekends instead of being on a base field or a baseball field every weekend, it was a baseball kind of got put on the back burner and then I was just, you know, a baseball fan for a while. [00:34:39] Speaker B: Do you still follow it? [00:34:40] Speaker A: I try to, man, but anymore, I'm just so be like, I got to watch, I think, one Georgia bulldog football game this past fall. It's just, you know, the weekends anymore are definitely shot. And even during the week anymore, it's like I said, it's such a grind, man, and trying to stay busy doing all this, it easy to kind of let that stuff get lost. So, you know, I'll see highlights and stuff. YouTube. I'll YouTube the Braves highlights and stuff. But yeah, other than that, man, I'm. [00:35:04] Speaker B: Not really plugged in anymore for the MLB tv. [00:35:07] Speaker A: Oh, really? [00:35:07] Speaker B: To watch all the Yankees games. [00:35:09] Speaker A: Okay. I forgot your big Yankees. [00:35:11] Speaker B: Oh, dude. Yeah, we got the fucking Bob yeads, right? [00:35:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:13] Speaker B: Here I am looking at, I'm die, I'm die hard. Like, if there's one team that I could watch, like, I like, and I like my, I like my hockey and my football and all that stuff. Like big, like New York Giants, like New York Rangers obviously love that the Rangers and the Knicks are playing well right now, but there's one team I could watch for the rest of my life, it would be the New York Yankees. [00:35:30] Speaker A: Really? You big basketball fan? [00:35:32] Speaker B: I mean, I enjoy it. [00:35:33] Speaker A: It's been, I never got into it. [00:35:36] Speaker B: Yeah, like the NBA. Like, they always say, like New York when. Cause I was born in 95, so it's like 94. The Rangers were in. Rangers won the Stanley cup for hockey. The Knicks were in the, were in the finals for basketball. And then, since then, like, the Rangers have been to the cup, I think once or twice since then. The Knicks have just been, since like the year 2000 have just been complete, utter dog shit for a long, long. It used to be like, people wearing bags over their heads at the games. Like, get rid of the owners. Like, it was. The Knicks were bad for a long time, but people would always say that New York is a basketball town. And I'm like, how could it not be, like, a Yankees town or a Mets town or this or that? But the energy that is in New York City right now with the Knicks, it is crazy. [00:36:23] Speaker A: Really crazy. I never really got into basketball, and everybody's been, you know, going crazy over the march madness stuff, but, I don't know. Never really got interesting. Baseball. I like baseball and football. That's about. [00:36:34] Speaker B: Yeah, that's about it. Yeah. Well, it was. And it was funny, too, like, being on the road with Trey and with Muscadine. Muscadine. We used to plan sound checks, and obviously, it was a night game. There's nothing you can do about that because you got a show. But, like, Saturdays on the road with them, we'd make sure that whatever venue we were in had the tv. [00:36:52] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:36:53] Speaker B: Auburn Tigers, football. Oh, dude, they're die hard Auburn fans. And then when I was with Trey, it was, we're in the bus, and the bama game had to be on. [00:37:02] Speaker A: Yeah. Where's he from? [00:37:03] Speaker B: Trey is from Birmingham. [00:37:04] Speaker A: Okay. [00:37:04] Speaker B: And the Muscadine guys are from mobile. [00:37:06] Speaker A: Okay, cool. [00:37:07] Speaker B: So. [00:37:07] Speaker A: Okay. I've worked on mobile for the first time back. [00:37:10] Speaker B: Soul kitchen. [00:37:11] Speaker A: Yeah. Play soul kitchen with Zach. [00:37:12] Speaker B: So it's funny, that room. So I love the folks down there. I love. I love mobile. It's a cool spot to be, and it's like a cool city because it has that kind of New Orleans feel to it. Yeah, it's where the. It's where Mardi Gras. Technically, Mardi Gras happened in mobile before it happened in New York. [00:37:29] Speaker A: That's what they told us. So whenever we played there, it was, like, the week after. [00:37:32] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, it was. [00:37:34] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. And everybody kind of like zombies walking around, but, yeah, they. We met this guy, and he was kind of telling us all about it. Really interesting. Really cool place. [00:37:41] Speaker B: Yeah. So that's where. So, it's funny. Soul kitchen is where Muscadine kind of got their. Their start, really. That stage that's in the front room, that's, like the merch area now. They used to play acoustic duo there, and that was, like, their thing. And then Charlie had a show. I forget if it was in the front room or the backroom. Just says Charlie Muncaster. And someone had linked him up with Gary, and Gary opened the show. [00:38:03] Speaker A: Really? [00:38:03] Speaker B: And that's how, kind of, like, how you and will are, like, buddies and turned out they hadn't really known of each other. And they grew up like a couple streets apart from each other. [00:38:13] Speaker A: See? How cool is that? [00:38:14] Speaker B: But, yeah, strays. [00:38:15] Speaker A: The strays are from right there too, right? [00:38:16] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Red clay strays are from down there in memory. There's a lot of, lot of musical history that's come out of that town. But soul kitchen, Gary and Charlie used to say was like, they're Madison Square Garden. Like they always want and they've since sold out that backroom a number of times over the years, but it's a cool. Was it raining when you were down there? Because it's always fucking raining. [00:38:35] Speaker A: It wasn't actually. Maybe every rain a little time I'm in mobile, it was definitely dreary. [00:38:41] Speaker B: I've been in the summer, I've been in the winter. I've been all different times a year. Every time. [00:38:46] Speaker A: It is, yeah, we played in February, man. I feel like, I feel like January, end of January, early February. I feel like it's the most just like depressing time of year. [00:38:52] Speaker B: Yeah. Every dark. [00:38:54] Speaker A: Yeah, it's gloomy, man. You wake up, like, I just want to go back to sleep. [00:38:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:38:58] Speaker A: But yeah, I think it did rain while we were there. Actually. [00:39:01] Speaker B: It rains every time that I am in mobile. Every time. And I want to, I want to get Nikki down there. Like, that's. [00:39:07] Speaker A: He's. [00:39:08] Speaker B: No, he hasn't been the most of the southern places, dude, I've been spoiled in that. I've gotten that I spent four years on the road going all over the country that I've gotten to see, like, all those clubs that you've named, that you've played with Zach. I've been in all of those, I'm sure. [00:39:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:39:22] Speaker B: Like, and is there one that really stands out to you? Like, obviously, I know playing a show and South Georgia is really cool and. [00:39:28] Speaker A: Special, but yeah, I am. Which, and Zach's kind of doing the club thing and the, like, listening room thing. You know, I played Eddie's with him. Played. What was that place called in Gainesville, Florida? [00:39:40] Speaker B: High dive. [00:39:40] Speaker A: No, it was, um. Gosh, I'm not gonna be able to think of it. Soundstage or heartwood sound stage. It's like, it's a listening room. Really cool. And those are. It's kind of cool to see that, like, the difference. Yeah. Like, you know, because clubs. Yeah, people bought tickets to come. I mean, those, those club shows get pretty freaking wild. [00:39:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:39:59] Speaker A: And then the listening rooms are more like, kind of just. I don't say quiet, cuz they still get pretty wild. Especially the country show, but there's just, there's a little bit different energy, and it's cool to see both of them because I enjoy both of them a lot, but, uh. But, yeah. And that's why, you know, I've learned a lot from playing these shows with Zach recently and kind of feeling everything out. But, yeah, I loved Wendell's. Loved it. It's my kind of place. Yeah. [00:40:24] Speaker B: The first time I went to Wendell's, it was, we had a rough, and I've talked, I've told this story on here before, but like, we did, it was with Trey. It was dick down in Dallas times. It was 2021. COVID is still a thing in the rest of the country, but not in. Not in the southeast. [00:40:39] Speaker A: Yeah, nobody cared about that. [00:40:40] Speaker B: Nobody cared. It was wild. But we had Ella Langley on the. Ella spent a lot of time on the road with us opening up. So it's amazing to see where she's at now and everything. She's like our little sister. And she would travel in the van with us. We'd be in trays, 43, 50, and there'd be ten of us piled in there, counting Ella. And we'd be. Every row would have. [00:41:01] Speaker A: Every row. [00:41:01] Speaker B: Every row would be. Every row would be busy and be packed up. But we did Milledgeville, Georgia, and Anderson, South Carolina, back to back nights. And we had a time in Milledgeville. It was chaos where the night just got out of hand. We had a bunch of issues that night. [00:41:24] Speaker A: I think you told me about that. [00:41:25] Speaker B: Yes, I've told you that story. And then the next night was Wendell's and Wendell's. We had a girl pass out in the bathroom who was with the bar packed. And it was like they didn't something with, like, the permit that they had for at that time was to, like, be a restaurant. Cause, you know, it's a small place. Yeah, but we probably, like, six or 700 people in there. And it was like, they were running on, like, a restaurant license. And there was a girl passed out. She ended up, she ended up not being old enough to be in there. So the cops came, and then we're like, well, you guys are supposed to be a restaurant. What are 700 kids doing in here? And it was just building up. And, like, Ella was up there opening solo acoustic, and somebody threw a beer bottle at her, mister. But just wild shit. And then we had to stop the, had to stop the show. Like, the show had to get canceled. But Trey got up there and played a ten minute version of dick down in Dallas. And then we did a meet and greet out front, and it was just like a guerrilla style meet and greet. Just chaos. No help from anybody. It was just a wild night. I've been to Wendell since then, and I love Jackie and the whole, the whole team that's out there. [00:42:29] Speaker A: But we didn't have that kind of night. [00:42:32] Speaker B: No, we had them back to back nights and was like a trailer tire getting slashed in fucking Milledgeville. [00:42:38] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:42:38] Speaker B: Driving up day. [00:42:39] Speaker A: Yeah, you did tell me about that. [00:42:40] Speaker B: Yeah, dude, it was a wild, wild weekend. But then we've been to Anderson. I haven't been back to Milledgeville. [00:42:47] Speaker A: Oh, really? I haven't been there since. I haven't been in Millageville since, shoot. Last September, I opened three shows for Austin snow. [00:42:56] Speaker B: Oh, how was that? [00:42:57] Speaker A: Really cool. Austin's great, dude. [00:42:58] Speaker B: That's a different kind of vibe. Yeah, yeah. [00:43:01] Speaker A: And he, you know, he's George boy. [00:43:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:03] Speaker A: From Dublin. [00:43:03] Speaker B: Yep. [00:43:04] Speaker A: And, yeah, it was, it was him and Lorne Watkins and I opened the first, first three shows of that tour and nothing but good things to say about them. [00:43:12] Speaker B: You got open for a bunch of people now. Like, you're, like, you've got, and you've gotten to not just open, but open consistently with people. Like, do runs of shows, not just be the local. [00:43:23] Speaker A: Yeah, I've been blessed. And it, um, that's kind of, you know, that's kind of how I've made some other connections with, with other people around town. And it's just through, you know, being on the road and meeting with those people and, hey, you know, meet so and so, or, hey, this is so and so. Hey, this is Cole. You know, so that kind of thing has been really, really good to me. And like I said, I can't thank those people enough for, for having me out to do that stuff. [00:43:44] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Now, you haven't liked your instagram bio. Like, believer. Like, you're a man of faith. [00:43:49] Speaker A: Yeah, totally. [00:43:49] Speaker B: How important is that? Because that's, I grew up going to church and, like, I was, I was an altar server and usher. Like, I was involved in the episcopal church and stuff. Haven't been, I've been in, like, a church for, like, weddings and funerals and stuff since then. But, like, I, it's just not something that's in my life personally, but I know down here, obviously, the Bible belt and, like, all that, like, it's a very powerful thing. [00:44:12] Speaker A: Yeah, I am. It is very important to me and always has been. But, um, you know, it obviously being gone every weekend, it's, it's hard to get in church consistently. [00:44:22] Speaker B: I'm sure you're still reading scripture on your phone. [00:44:24] Speaker A: I got the Bible, the Bible app, it helps me a bunch and it, and, you know, I'm sure everybody that's started out doing this stuff knows it. Man, there's so much that goes on that doesn't get, you know, brought to light that, like, you could fall into and which, and I haven't because I'm very strong willed and stubborn and stuck in my ways. But, man, anything that I can, you know, keep in the back of my mind to keep me grounded, I'm going to do that. So, yeah, the Bible app, it sends me verse of the day every day, and you can click on it and read that whole chapter that came from and highlight that and make little notes. And I still, whenever I'm home, like, I went to church last week, and I've been good recently about going on Wednesday nights in Statesboro. My little sister goes to Georgia Southern and some of her friends and some of my buddies are still there, and I've gone the past couple Wednesday nights with them to church. But, uh, yeah, if I'm in town, I try to make it, but it's hard to make it on Sundays anymore. [00:45:22] Speaker B: But with all the stuff going on in your life, like, it's, it's happening right now. Like, Cole Goodwin, the country singers, it's happening. Like, this is a glimpse into, like, your future. And you think you're busy now, but, like, where you're having to make these decisions and having these meetings, how important is having that, that faith and having. [00:45:43] Speaker A: That very important, man, that's that belief. [00:45:45] Speaker B: System just in yourself and just guiding you through everything? [00:45:49] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't sleep much anymore just because there's so much going on the past few months, you know, so much to think about and so much to navigate through and balance, and it's been an adjustment. So I don't, I end up tossing and turning all night, laying in bed. But, man, I, um, my parents told me, you know, if you can just lay down and close your eyes, just talk to God like he's a friend, it, uh, you know, you can drift off to sleep in it. It does, it's true. It helps that and that nyquil. So Jesus and Nyquil. [00:46:17] Speaker B: But, um, he's just a nyquil. [00:46:19] Speaker A: Yeah, but, but, yeah, man, it's, it's very important to me and always will be. So I, um, I try to keep that, you know, above everything because without it, you know, what are we so. [00:46:29] Speaker B: Yeah, especially in the world today. [00:46:31] Speaker A: Totally. [00:46:31] Speaker B: There's a lot of. [00:46:32] Speaker A: Yeah. If any. If any time, you know, needs it the most, it's. It's this time, so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:46:40] Speaker B: Does that factor into, like, your songwriting? Like, I feel with your writing? You write songs that I show. Like, I've shown your stuff to my. My girlfriend Aaron, and, like, it's stuff that I can play in the car with. With her and her daughter Charlotte. It's just wholesome music that makes you feel good. It makes you feel something. Like, if you're writing, like, a heartbreaking song, like, it. Like, your. Your style of stuff is so. Like, for country music fans, it's that essential. Like, there's no questioning of Cole Goodwin's country, which I hate that whole argument of, like, this ain't country. This ain't that. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like, I hate all that shit. But it's like, your stuff is, like, clearly, like, you're a country music singer and songwriter. [00:47:23] Speaker A: Thank you, man. [00:47:24] Speaker B: No denying that. [00:47:25] Speaker A: Thank you. I try to. I try to just write what I know, and, you know, I am. I try not to be anybody else. I tell people all the time, there's nobody else on this earth that's better at being Cole Goodwin than I am. So I try to just. I try to own that, man, and just hone in on it and be the best that I can be, you know, the best version of myself that I can be. But, yeah, I don't know. I just am who I am, and I try to portray that through my writing, and I write a bunch of stuff by myself. I'm still fairly new to the whole co writing thing. [00:47:56] Speaker B: Yeah. What's that been like? Cause you're. I'm sure, like, you've written with Will and, like, you've written with your boys back home, but there's nights where you're out in the woods or you're driving alone in the truck, man. [00:48:07] Speaker A: I t swifted a lot of times, you know, I'll end up sitting on my bedroom floor, just, like, sitting on the corner of my bed and, like, hash one out, or I get. The shower's a great place to get ideas. Yeah, but, yeah. Dude, I can't tell you how many times I've had an idea in the shower and, like, jumped out and dried off really fast and, like, wrote half a song or a whole song with, like, water dripping out of my hair and stuff. It's. It's crazy, man. I don't know. And it's crazy where inspiration comes from. And when it hits you. But, um, you definitely. I've learned you definitely don't want to turn a blind eye to it or, you know, push it away when it. When it comes, you know, let it happen. But, um. Yeah, I, uh. I don't know, man. I. I'm very selective about who I write with. I've learned that, and I, um, try to make sure that it's kind of in my lane and kind of what I want to do and. Yeah. Will is one of those guys that we. We always end up in a room together. [00:48:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:58] Speaker A: So, you know, we're from essentially the same area down in Georgia, but anytime we end up in here in town together, we always end up in a room together. And I think that's so funny, but it's funny how you kind of gravitate towards those that you're comfortable with. [00:49:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:49:11] Speaker A: But, um. Yeah, man, I've been really blessed, and the people that I have written with have been so good to me and so welcoming, you know, Ray and Cole, those guys. Yeah. [00:49:20] Speaker B: What. What was the first interaction with those guys? Like. Cause as a. As a country music fan? Cause at the end of the day, you're. You love this stuff. [00:49:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:49:27] Speaker B: Like, you are a country music fan, and growing up in Georgia, as a country music fan, you've heard of guys and looked up to guys like Ray Fulcher, like Colt, like John Langston, Jordan Raeger, Dylan Marlowe, Red Aikens, Dallas Davidson. Like, all these. All these guys now getting to be in a room with them and having them give you props. Like, what. What is that? What was that first interaction with? We call. We call Ray Fulcher Payday Ray. We call him payday Ray. He's been in the race Raddy family for a long, long time. [00:50:00] Speaker A: Cool. Yeah, he, man, they're. They're just, you know, just down to earth guys, you know, Georgia boys, easy to get along with, you know, welcomed me right in and, you know, they didn't have to do that, you know, little old me, you know, they didn't know who I was, and. And I, uh. Yeah, man, I showed up, and we. I think we had the room for, like, 2 hours, and we talked about turkey hunting for the first 30 minutes. And then, uh, Cole had an idea, and we. We hashed it out in, like, an hour and 15 minutes. Dude, he's so quick. He's just like, you know, just rattling stuff off. But, uh, I tried my best to keep up and, yeah, that, you know, you can learn so much from. From being in a room with. With two just master classes like that. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to doing it again with them, but, heck, yeah. [00:50:39] Speaker B: You got rights this week. [00:50:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I got one, actually, when I leave here, and then another one tomorrow, so then I don't know what I got Wednesday. [00:50:49] Speaker B: Who you running with today? [00:50:50] Speaker A: Today? Jack Hummel. [00:50:51] Speaker B: Oh, nice. Have you met him before? [00:50:53] Speaker A: I have not. [00:50:54] Speaker B: No. [00:50:54] Speaker A: He hit me up on Instagram. [00:50:55] Speaker B: Jack's a good dude. [00:50:56] Speaker A: Really good dude. [00:50:58] Speaker B: Tell him that you did this. That you did this podcast. [00:51:00] Speaker A: I did, yeah. I told him. I was like, man, I'm gonna try to make it on time. I was like, I'm coming straight from. Straight from Matt's podcast. [00:51:05] Speaker B: Yeah. We've known Jack for a long. A long, long time, and he's. He's a good. He's a good dude and knows what he's doing. So I'm excited to hear what you boys come out with. [00:51:13] Speaker A: Cool. Yeah, try. I try to kind of, you know, I try to Instagram stalk people that. That I haven't met, dude. It's. That's how I seems like a great guy, dude. [00:51:21] Speaker B: It's funny. Like, it shows our. Shows, our age difference a little bit. Like, I was the Instagram dming and all of that, especially when you're out of town. For me, it was Facebook messenger. [00:51:32] Speaker A: Okay. [00:51:32] Speaker B: I was. [00:51:33] Speaker A: I'm so bad at Facebook messenger. People tell me all the time. They'll see me. They'll be like, dude, I sent you a message on Facebook. [00:51:38] Speaker B: In a small town, Facebook is as big as the Google machine. [00:51:43] Speaker A: And actually, you know, it's funny you say that. I still use Facebook a lot, actually. That's how I keep up with my parents friends. [00:51:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:51:48] Speaker A: And I'm honest, I'm probably a bigger Facebook fan than I am Instagram fan. [00:51:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:51:51] Speaker A: Just because, I don't know, there's so much, you know, b's on Instagram and whatnot, man. Facebook's just real people that you. That you talk to a regular basis. So I, um. I love getting on Facebook, but, yeah, anytime I'm, like, meeting with somebody and I, like, I know their name, I've talked to them on the phone, but I'm not exactly sure what they look like. Let me go to Facebook and type in their name, see if I can get a, you know, image to put to them. But, yeah, yeah, I love Facebook. [00:52:14] Speaker B: It definitely helps, brother. Where are some spots in Nashville that you've enjoyed going to so far? [00:52:20] Speaker A: Um, which I'm sure, you know, Josh Terry. And then they always give me a bunch of mess because I don't stay out with them late. [00:52:28] Speaker B: Well, even the places I'm talking about. [00:52:30] Speaker A: I'm a big live Oak fan. [00:52:31] Speaker B: I'm talking. Yeah, I'm talking about, like, the places where you've. Where you've gotten to play or, like, hang out or gotten a network or. [00:52:38] Speaker A: Yeah, I love. I love chilling at live oak. That's my speed. [00:52:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:52:42] Speaker A: Just being able to just chill, you know, and essentially. And the grand scheme of things around here, be quiet, you know, and kind of just low key and hang out and visit with people. That's my kind of thing. Because, you know, even back home, I'm not out shoulder to shoulder in a club, you know, partying. I'm. I'm at the. The local water and hole, you know, sit sitting on a bar shore, sitting in a booth, you know, talking to three buddies. [00:53:05] Speaker B: What are some food spots you like up here? Have you gotten to go out and do a bunch of that yet? [00:53:09] Speaker A: Chick fil a. I know, man. I know. I, um. No, we ate at a place, me and Will and his guitar player, Benji. We ate at a place last time we were here, man. What was that place called? It's a barbecue place. [00:53:22] Speaker B: Was it Martin's or Edley's or. [00:53:24] Speaker A: I think it was Martin's. [00:53:25] Speaker B: Martin, dude. [00:53:26] Speaker A: Yeah, it was. [00:53:27] Speaker B: Tennessee's got some good barbecue. [00:53:29] Speaker A: Yeah. So. And I'm. I love barbecue. [00:53:32] Speaker B: Yeah, you're gonna. That's. That should be. That's the cut. That's. That's something you should turn to into your. Your content when you're out on the barbecue. [00:53:39] Speaker A: What? [00:53:39] Speaker B: Because you're going to all these different towns in the southeast in every place. [00:53:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:53:43] Speaker B: I'll never, I'll never forget, like, when we were. There was a, I think two weeks straight when I was out with Trey, where, like, you get, like, your catering or, like, the venue, like, provides the food. And we were going all these different sweats, small towns across the midwest and the southeast, and they were like, man, we got the best barbecue that you've ever had. [00:53:59] Speaker A: Everybody says that you're about to eat. [00:54:00] Speaker B: The best barbecue in Milledgeville, Georgia. You're about to eat the best barbecue in Jackson, Mississippi. You're about. So all these towns, you're going to. [00:54:09] Speaker A: Really put it to the test. [00:54:10] Speaker B: There's hole in the wall barbecue joints. You should just start going and trying the different part. [00:54:16] Speaker A: Hey, don't put it past me, man. If I've got time, get up. [00:54:18] Speaker B: When you're at the barbecue joint, what. [00:54:20] Speaker A: Are you getting most time? Pulled pork sandwiches. Always you're a pork. [00:54:23] Speaker B: Pork sandwich. [00:54:24] Speaker A: Yeah. And what are you, pulled pork. [00:54:25] Speaker B: What are you getting on? Is your sides. [00:54:26] Speaker A: What are your. [00:54:27] Speaker B: What are your fixins? [00:54:28] Speaker A: I love. I mean, obviously, fries is a safe bet. It's just kind of boring, but you. [00:54:32] Speaker B: Can get that at a McDonald's or totally or anywhere. [00:54:34] Speaker A: That's why, man, whenever I'm at a barbecue joint, I love. If they've got, like, baked beans or something. Yes, dude, that's right up my alley. Pulled pork sandwich and baked beans and, like, a sweet tea. And I don't mean, like, just a sweet tea. I mean, like a. Like, a curl your lip sweet tea. Like. Like, you know, taste the sugar sweet tea. Dude, that's my. That's my jam. [00:54:52] Speaker B: Yeah. You should be going to all these. In all these small towns and just trying the different barbecue. [00:54:57] Speaker A: Yeah. That's a really good idea, because that's you. Yeah. And I'm sure. I'm sure that my guys would be totally on board with that. [00:55:03] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm sure they would be down to stop at a barbecue joint. [00:55:07] Speaker A: I mean, dude, that's my biggest thing. Like, whenever I meet a new person, it's like, if you don't like barbecue. [00:55:12] Speaker B: Chances are we're not gonna get along. [00:55:14] Speaker A: Yeah. You know, we can be cordial, but. Yeah, I don't know. Do we, if we don't. If we don't have barbecue in common, do we really have that much in common? I mean, yeah, it's. [00:55:24] Speaker B: What's a piece of advice you'd give to someone that is starting, like, you've been doing this now for a few years, but you're still not even, like, fully up here yet. There's so many guys and girls that are in that situation that may not have had the. Been blessed with the opportunities and done the legwork that you've been able to do so far, but, like, someone listening or watching back home and XYZ, small town, and they're starting to do the thing, and I'm trying to figure out if they want to start taking trips out here to Nashville. [00:55:54] Speaker A: Yep. [00:55:55] Speaker B: What's something you would tell that? [00:55:56] Speaker A: I love this question, man. I, um. And I. Like I said, I'm still new to it, and I'm still learning every. Every time I'm here and every day, even when I'm back home. But, uh, my man, my biggest thing and the thing that I always tell myself is stay true to yourself. You know, be stubborn, be. Be yourself, and don't be afraid to be yourself and don't care, you know? What other people think of that. And. And don't rush it, man. Make sure you know. Make sure you know who you are before you go putting yourself out, you know, to the public and to other people. [00:56:23] Speaker B: So, who is Cole Goodwin? [00:56:25] Speaker A: Man, I. That's a tough question. I just. I am who I am, dude. I don't. I got nothing to hide. I don't. You know, I'm not. Not a big, flashy person. [00:56:33] Speaker B: I just know you're. You're very much not. And that's something that I know a lot of people because I've had people ask, like, you're. You're in our. You're in the race. Rowdy family. [00:56:41] Speaker A: Yeah, man, totally. [00:56:42] Speaker B: You have been since we met you, and we've had. We've had some good times together, and we've had a lot of people kind of circle around being like, hey, tell us about this Cole Goodwin kid. Hey, tell us about this guy. Tell us about. Tell us about what he's got going on. What do you think of cool Goodwin? I'm like, well, you got to see him play. You got to like his stuff. Thank speaks for itself, and I'm so excited. Tell us about this new song you've been working on with Ryan. [00:57:03] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, I am. So I did five with Ryan, and the five songs. Let's go. Did five. And the first one's coming out this month, April 19. It's actually. It's available for pre save and pre order right now, but, yeah, two weeks, I think, is the 19th, and that's when it'll be out. It's called when you get home. It. We. Me and will wrote it in Nashville back in November and just kind of, like, act, like, accidentally wrote it, like, 20 minutes, and we played it for two of the guys that were hanging out the Airbnb, and one of them happened to video it on the back porch, put on tick tock, and it got, like, 100,000 views every night or something. [00:57:34] Speaker B: Wow. [00:57:35] Speaker A: And I suck at TikTok, and I'm like, whoa. Like, that is sick. So. And then I posted on my TikTok, and it did really well, and people were like, man, cut it, cut it, cut it. And ever since we wrote it, man, it just felt like one of those. You know, there's one. There's those songs that you write that you never get tired of playing, never get tired of singing, and it's one of them, dude, I love it with. With everything in me, and it's so. I mean, it's a heartbreak song, but it's so my speed, dude. You know, old classic sounds. You know, we've got a steel guitar and it got a fiddle in it and I. I just love it, man. So we did that when we finished it up earlier this year and he knocked it out of the park, dude. Everything that, everything that I had in my mind, he, he captured that. So it. Yeah, I'm so excited about it. [00:58:20] Speaker B: That was. [00:58:20] Speaker A: And it's opened so many doors for me already and not even out yet, man. People, it's crazy. Every. I feel like every day I wake up, somebody else has covered it on TikTok. It's like, it's insane. And people have been singing it back to me on the road, you know, four, five, six, 8 hours from home, which is insane to me, you know, doing these shows with Zach and every night to be able to look out and see people that I don't recognize that, you know, I don't know them and they know my music, you know, from social media is insane to me. And nothing but a blessing. [00:58:49] Speaker B: So, you know, tell me about the song that Nikki T and mama baby. [00:58:52] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, I think that's the. I think that's the second single that's coming out after this one in a few months or a couple months, but, yeah, down in the country. I wrote it by myself one night in my garage at home, at my parents house and fell out in like 30, 45 minutes. And I was so excited about it, actually, my whole family was home that night and it was late. It was like after midnight. I was in the garage writing it. And there's a line in the second verse of that song that says, talking about like a cornfield, it says first dip first. How does the line go? First dip first, kiss first. I don't even know the line off top of my head, but I just sang it right off the top of my head and immediately I was like, heck, yeah, let's go. And my sister came outside. She was like, you okay? I was like, I'm good. I was like, I promise I'm good. So, yeah, man, I'm so excited about that. When I wrote it all about, you know, my past four years in Statesboro and kind of doing that thing and it. Yeah, it's true to my life, too, so I'm really excited about it. But, yeah, Nikki t and my mom. At the end of the second verse, it says. It says yee haw at the end of it. And there's like a big group, yee haw. And it's really, it's really just like, 20 different vocal tracks of my mom and Nikki t screaming, yee haw. Yeah. So shout out them, too. But, yes, I'm super excited about it. [01:00:09] Speaker B: That's awesome, bro. Well, dude, I appreciate you taking the time to come on. [01:00:13] Speaker A: Thank you. [01:00:13] Speaker B: And you're somebody that we, we really believe in. And seeing good guys like yourself winning and seeing what you're doing, seeing what our mutual buddy will. Will Moseley's doing and seeing it all just kind of grow from when, when we had first met you to now and where it's going to be this time next year, you know, like, where it's going to be a few months from now. Like, you're putting it. You've put in a lot of hard work, and your good things happen to good people, and you happen to be a great person. So thank you, man.

Last time we were up in town, I was like, man, I need a basset hound or a cool looking dog for the COVID of this thing, because the second verse talk, or the first verse talks about, you know, sitting alone on the couch, and the second verse talks about the dog not recognizing the girl anymore because she's never around. And I was like, man, I need a dog and a couch. So I got the dog from Josh. But, yeah, man, we're pumped for it. [01:01:59] Speaker B: That's awesome. I appreciate you.
