Speaker 1 00:00:13 What is up everyone? How we doing? Welcome back to the, in the Round of podcast, another quarantine session as we're getting through this coronavirus stuff. You got Matt and Tyler here up in Oceanview, Delaware, and joining us today over Skype, down in Beier City, Louisiana. It's our good buddy, the man himself, Mr. Garrett Jacobs. Garrett, how you doing, buddy?
Speaker 2 00:00:33 I'm good man. How are y'all up there?
Speaker 1 00:00:35 We're doing good. We're hanging in there. Wishing we were down south, wishing we were out on the road, and, uh, wishing we were able to hang out with you at, at doghouse or Live Oak or anywhere down in Nashville, Tennessee. It's this craziness right now.
Speaker 3 00:00:47 Yeah, it's uh, it's kind of crazy. I've been fishing, but it's still kind of too cold. I ain't catching nothing up here, you know, <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:00:53 Yeah, I've been doing a lot of fishing. It's a little warmer down here and when I'm not fishing, I'm either working in the yard with my dad or swimming in my pool. I've gotten a little bit of a tan, so we're good. But
Speaker 3 00:01:04 <laugh>, yeah, it was like 55 here today, you know? Um, yeah,
Speaker 1 00:01:07 He's, yeah, he's an Alabama boy, so Tyler's being, being up here in the, in the north in April, like up in, up in like Maine, they're still getting snow right now, which is crazy. But, um, yeah,
Speaker 2 00:01:19 Probably live there. <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:01:20 Yeah, no, yeah, exactly. Yeah. I couldn't do it either. So
Speaker 3 00:01:23 They, uh, they shipped me from, so I'm like an hour north of Pensacola, like right over the Alabama line, basically like, basically just north Florida. And, uh, they shipped me on a internship to Northeast Connecticut. I left from Pensacola basically, and it was 87 and whenever I got to Connecticut, it was negative two in a 24 hour period, <laugh>. And it was the year that Boston set the snow record. So we had like freaking massive amount of snow there. Like there was a tree stump that was seriously probably about as much as tall as like a, like a, uh, you know, uh, coffee table. And I didn't see that until like the last three days. I was there at the end of April, like it was April 24th and we were still getting snow and I was like, coming from where I'm from, you know, I was like, man, forget this.
Speaker 1 00:02:14 Yeah. The only white stuff you see on the ground is cotton down there. <laugh>. <laugh>. So Louisiana boy living in Nashville, Tennessee now. And you're one of those young guns that's really doing it right now. You're, are you 20 or 21?
Speaker 2 00:02:27 I turned 20 in January. I moved to Nashville when I was 18.
Speaker 1 00:02:32 Wow. So you're, yes. So you're really doing it. What's it like being in a city where going to bars and stuff is such a big thing, especially in music, that's where a lot of people network and you're 18 years old. What was that like?
Speaker 2 00:02:44 Yeah, I do, I do, like, I meet a lot of people at, you know, writers rounds, like why not? And at the listening room and stuff like that. But, you know, on Friday nights and Saturday nights they won't let me in, so I'll usually just stay home and write or something like that. <laugh> or like hang out with a couple friends.
Speaker 1 00:03:02 Yeah, it's tough cuz we have a lot of friends that are like on that cusp and like, even friends, like guests that we've had on the podcast that are like 1920. And it's just, it's crazy to see the talent that's coming up right now. Like you guys are country music's in really good hands with the future right now. Now I'm excited
Speaker 2 00:03:17 For it. I'm really excited for it.
Speaker 1 00:03:19 Yeah. So your story coming from Louisiana, when did you first get into music and, uh, wanting to do this country music thing?
Speaker 2 00:03:25 Yeah, so I, I always tell everybody that I've been singing ever since I could talk. I played baseball when I was younger and I would literally be like warming up in the outfield, humming a song to myself, you know, and, um, it's just something that's always been there. And then I really started like thinking that it was something that I could do when I was about eight years old and I was singing in the house and my mom was like, you know, that was pretty good even though you didn't know all the words and everything like that <laugh>. And, um, I started like leaning into more of a country sound when I was like 12. It was more my dad showed me Leonard Skynyrd Nice. And he was like, play this, you can play anything. And I was 12 years old, I'd just gotten a guitar. So I was like, okay, I'm gonna, so I listened to eighties rock, like for a pretty good period. And then, um, I really got into country music when I was in high school and I heard whisking You by Chris Stapleton for the first time and I was like, this is where I want to be. <laugh>. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:04:22 This is, this is where the party's at. This is where the, the real, the real stuff's at the deep. I mean, you Chris Stapleton, that's a good introduction to um, real songwriting, deep country music right there.
Speaker 2 00:04:33 Yes. I was looking for something that was different than everything else out there cuz at that time I was, I mean I was about 15 and um, everything on the radio was kind of sounding the same and I was like, I want something that has like real grit to it, you know, like real meaning to it. And then here comes along country music and I was like, I think I'll stick with you for a little bit. <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:04:55 Yeah, definitely a good, a good place to be. And uh, growing up in Louisiana we got, we had the privilege of being on a run with ya through, um, Baton Rouge and Monroe, Louisiana and some things I learned about Louisiana. One, the crowd is awesome. People love y'all know how to party. There
Speaker 3 00:05:12 Are some rowdy drunk people
Speaker 1 00:05:13 Down there. Y'all, y'all, y'all love your, y'all love your music, y'all love your LSU Tigers football.
Speaker 2 00:05:19 Oh yeah. And last year, like we won the national championship Oh yeah. Too. So hyped up about it.
Speaker 1 00:05:25 Oh yeah, absolutely. And you guys have, in my opinion, the best cuisine that I've encountered being on the road eating crawfish in Monroe, Louisiana was an experience I will never ever forget.
Speaker 3 00:05:37 Forget the crawfish though. The fact that I was able to go to a gas station there and get duck quesadillas. Yes. That were out of this world Yes. Is where it's at. We
Speaker 2 00:05:48 Have like, and that's just, that's just like on the cusp of amazing, you know, and then the further south you go, like the closer you get to New Orleans, it just gets even better. Oh yeah. And better if the gumbo gets darker. Unless it's Creole, then it's like tomato based. Yeah. But <laugh>, I mean it's so good.
Speaker 3 00:06:05 So something I'm actually probably gonna do this week is, uh, cook these northerners some jambalaya. That's, that's a dish that I love
Speaker 1 00:06:13 <laugh>. Yeah. We're gonna get, we're gonna get a little, little, some, some Cajun cooking. And uh, we got, I tried boan balls too. That was an exciting thing.
Speaker 2 00:06:21 Where'd you get 'em from?
Speaker 1 00:06:22 Some gas station in between Houston, Texas. Good. And Baton Rouge, Louisiana. <laugh>.
Speaker 3 00:06:26 Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:06:27 Good. The best probably good.
Speaker 1 00:06:29 Oh dude. Oh, it was, it was phenomenal and, and fantastic and Louisiana, it's, it's real country down there like growing up down there. Um, that had to be, that had to be an experience. And being from, so your family's from Louisiana originally?
Speaker 2 00:06:43 Oh yeah. Yeah. So my mom, um, grew up in Baton Rouge and uh, my dad was my dad's military, so he was stationed at Barela Air Force Base for a real long time in Shreveport and that's when I was born. So I've known Louisiana for basically my whole life, you know.
Speaker 1 00:06:59 That's awesome. It's a bit difficult. I
Speaker 2 00:07:00 Lived in Georgia. I lived in Georgia for a little bit, but, um, then my dad retired from the military. We moved back to Louisiana, so Louisiana's where I call home
Speaker 1 00:07:08 <laugh>. Yeah, it's a good place to call home. It's a fun place. I enjoy going down there and I can't wait for us to get back down there. Um, and also the Cajun accents, coach o is one of my favorite people to listen to <laugh>,
Speaker 2 00:07:22 Dude. Like, I don't, as you can tell, I don't have much of a Cajun accent because I'm just from up north or whatever and my accent comes out depending on what I'm doing. Like if I'm fishing or hunting or whatever, like it comes out more. But, um, the furthest side you go, you start hearing people call a bayou, a bayou and Crawford and like it's, everything's just long and drawn out <laugh>. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:07:45 So I'm from, uh, there's a lot of people that come from my town that, you know, after Hurricane Katrina, which a lot of people obviously in Louisiana, you know, life is before and after, you know, Katrina, um, just like with us in Alabama as before and after Hurricane Ivan, which came the year before Katrina. Yeah. Um, but yeah, like, um, there's a lot of people that relocated from New Orleans and you know, maybe even uh, you know, Baton Rouge or something like, like that. But a lot of people relocated our area, so we actually have a lot of, you know, Cajun people in our area, which is really nice cuz you know that culture, man, they're all about sharing. They're all about, you know, what's mine is yours. And like we've said before, man, it's all great food, man. You know? Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:08:29 The nice, some of the nicest people you'll encounter are good old homegrown Cajun folks.
Speaker 2 00:08:36 Yeah. It's a culture that's very hospitable and very proud of who they are. They are,
Speaker 3 00:08:42 Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:08:43 Yeah. 100%. Absolutely. So, so you're, you're, you just turned, so you just turned 20 in January, so you moved to Nashville and you were 18. What was that process like for you coming from Louisiana up to Nashville, Tennessee?
Speaker 2 00:08:57 Yeah, so I graduated high school in May and then, um, I took, I was wanting to get into the music scene and everything. It's something I'd always done and I was torn between college or the music. And, um, so, but I took a trip up to Nashville in like early July and I was like, I, for like a week, I was like, I just wanna see what it's like, you know, I had, you know, Desiree, my manager set us up or I met her at that time and she put me on a couple rights and everything and I just wanted to see what everything was about and I just fell in love. And I had a friend up there and just out of the blue he was like, Hey, are you trying to move to Nashville? And I was like, I think so. And I, I just have no way how I'm gonna get up there. And he was like, well, I need a roommate. So between like that, that weekend at the beginning of July, my first day ever in Nashville was July 5th and I moved to Nashville officially on like August 15th or something, like in the middle of August. It took a month, month or a month and a half. And I was there <laugh>. Hell
Speaker 1 00:10:02 Yeah, dude. Yeah. That's that's awesome man. And you're good with all the, you weren't affected by the tornado or anything, right?
Speaker 2 00:10:09 Oh no, I, um, I'm a little further south right now, so, um, I was a good like 10, 13 miles away from it, but my heart goes out to the people who were affected. Like it's, I've seen the pictures, I haven't been over there. Yeah. But it's, it's crazy. Yeah. It's crazy how much devastation there.
Speaker 1 00:10:27 Yeah. To think in the span of like a couple weeks you have a tornado, then you have, um, the coronavirus stuff happen and then the whole city shuts down and that's a whole city that thrives on gigs and people working in the bar and service industry. Yeah. And, and it's all non-essential workers by definition and it's just crazy to see. And right now, I mean, you've been in Nashville long enough that, you know, it's busy season right now, so Oh yeah. It's, it's a weird time for everybody across the world, but especially in Nashville, Tennessee.
Speaker 2 00:10:58 Yeah. Nashville's like, you know, people are busy year round, but towards the beginning of the year everybody just hits the ground running like off of the holidays and everything. So for this to happen right now, it's pretty crazy and it's pretty bizarre. But I do think that, um, it's a good time for everyone to still like kind of slow down and look at the world around them, you know?
Speaker 1 00:11:21 Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. And um, like you said, going out and getting some fishing in and, and getting time with the family and kind of catching your breath and you've been out there, you're, you're gonna be doing a lot more touring this year, um, 2020 a big year for you. New, new music coming out, um, already ready, right? That's the one that, that's the one that dropped pretty recently.
Speaker 2 00:11:41 Oh yeah, yeah. We put that out on March 20th.
Speaker 1 00:11:44 Hell yeah.
Speaker 2 00:11:45 And I love that song. We, uh, I wrote it with my buddy Adam Craig, and it was our first write ever together and he came in with the idea and he had like a voice memo, but it was kind of like, it was real staccato. And I was like, what if we kind of syn it up to the beat more? Cuz his was like, already ready for you. And I was like, what if we hit it with a, I'm already ready for you ready to, and then like just kind of went into the melody or whatever. But I love how that song came together.
Speaker 1 00:12:13 Yeah, dude. I mean we, we love it too. And the fact that you're able to say your buddy Adam Craig. Yeah, that's a, that's a heavy hitter in town. That's a guy that's been doing this thing for a long time. How'd you meet him?
Speaker 2 00:12:25 Um, that was the first day that I met him, you know, and we just kind of clicked when we got into the writing room. I, uh, I think I might have met him at a writer's round before. I don't, yeah, yeah, I did. I met him at a writer's round and uh, we set up a write and honestly, first day going into a write, you have no idea what's gonna happen. And we just clicked and you know, now he is a homie, so <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:12:47 Yeah, yeah. He's a good guy to be a homie with. Um, we've had, we've had good times with him and we're we're big fans of what he does and stuff. So he was talking about baseball, I'm guessing. So you're either a Braves or an Astros fan?
Speaker 2 00:12:59 Oh, heck yeah. I'm all about the Braves. Okay.
Speaker 3 00:13:01 Oh yeah, there we go.
Speaker 1 00:13:02 All right, so you about
Speaker 2 00:13:03 The Braves. I grew up like in all my elementary years I was living in south Georgia, so
Speaker 3 00:13:10 Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. So that's naturally a Braves country, you know?
Speaker 2 00:13:13 Yeah. All I was surrounded by was just Braves and Tomahawks and everything. I went to a couple games. So
Speaker 3 00:13:19 I'm originally, I'm originally from Atlanta, um, oh yeah, I grew up there until about middle school, whenever I moved to South Alabama. So, you know, we had like season tickets and all. Man, I freaking love going to Braves games and it was right whenever, like, I was born in 93, so like whenever I started falling in love like that three and four year old was right at the height of the Braves. And like Chipper Jones was a hero to me, you know, always has been. Always
Speaker 1 00:13:43 See being from New York, I got my, my Yankee we got our Yankee stuff up here. I know, I know. I mean, we,
Speaker 3 00:13:49 We, that, that face, I wish y'all could see that face. That face is what every race span. Listen,
Speaker 2 00:13:54 Listen, I respect the Yankees, but that's only because of Babe Ruth and Derek Jeter. Yeah. <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:14:00 Yeah, I was gonna say we've, we've had some guys that are, that are legends, that are standup dudes. Um, like, like, like your jeters, like your babe Bruce, like your yogi bears, your Mickey Mantles recently. It's been tough. Um, and I was looking forward to this year, we went out and got ourselves a damn good pitcher who I think was gonna win us a lot of games. And the fact that the Astros are down, uh, the Red Sox were waiting to see what happens with that. What position did you play in baseball and how long did you do that for?
Speaker 2 00:14:26 Yeah, so I was mainly an outfielder and, but like growing up I played, basically I was one of those kids that was like, coach, I just wanna play wherever you need me. I don't care where, just put me on the field and I'll try to do something. I was super on athletic, I was so long and lanky, like I was really bad growing up and then high school hit and um, like I kind of grew into my body a little bit, so I played a lot of center field and then, um, I pitched, I pitched a bit my senior year too.
Speaker 1 00:14:53 Nice. Yeah. Nice. So I mean, the Braves, they're supposed to have, they were supposed to have a pretty good year this year. Y'all got a good young core, like Yeah, you gotta say Una is a top guy in the league. You're, you're wondering what guys like Dansby Swanson and all those guys can do. So hopefully baseball gets back to being please. Yeah, I'm going crazy right now. The fact that it's
Speaker 3 00:15:13 Maybe, uh, maybe that middle may date can actually happen. You know, they're talking about the thing out in Arizona and maybe even realigning the leagues for a year. Like, you know, it'd be kind of crazy to shake up baseball for one year and then, you know, return to normal See, next year.
Speaker 2 00:15:27 Yeah. I wouldn't mind if they just had baseball and football go on at the same time. So like, it it just ended up being fall ball, but it was a real season. Yeah. Like I wouldn't mind it.
Speaker 1 00:15:36 Yeah, no, I wouldn't mind it either. And I mean, it's crazy that it's April 11th and like, I can't flip on a Yankees game right now. You can't flip on or MLB network and just watch, watch, watch. Just the revolving door baseball and fantasy and all that. You know, it's, it's a weird, it's a weird time.
Speaker 3 00:15:52 I already had five fantasy teams ready to go and that was a, that was honestly, I did all those teams on our run that we did together. So like, I was probably a month to two still from the season. Like we were just starting with, uh, spring training games. So like I, I was gearing up, I was gonna fill out the full 25 teams that you could have this year in ESPN <laugh>. Like I, I run fantasy teams like crazy.
Speaker 2 00:16:17 Were your teams stacked? Were they stacked up?
Speaker 3 00:16:19 There was a couple that were like eight man teams that were absolute monsters. <laugh>? Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:16:26 Yeah, Boudro Boudro gets into that, gets into that fantasy baseball and um, it'd be cool if Nashville got a team. They were talking about the, uh, the Orioles potentially moving to Nashville and then building a stadium. Yeah. But where they build the stadium would be right next to Nissan. So that area right on the rear.
Speaker 3 00:16:41 Well, no, they were saying that they would con either that or they would convert the aaa, they would do away with the AAA team and they would convert that stadium to a full major league stadium. That stadium's actually pretty nice. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:16:53 Have you been to a Sounds Game?
Speaker 2 00:16:55 I don't think, I don't think they can't do that to the AAA though. They can't do that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:17:00 Yeah. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 00:17:02 Yeah. Could you imagine a major league team being in Nashville? I I'm just wondering how many fans they would get because all of us are from different places. Like, I'm not gonna move my allegiance from the Yankees. Y'all ain't gonna leave the Braves.
Speaker 3 00:17:13 Yeah, I mean it's one of those things too that you have to look at, like NFL and hockey too. Like a lot of people actually go to those games and a lot of the people go to those games because those teams now are coming to the town that you're living in. So although you might not be a Nashville fan, if Nashville somehow ends up being in the same league as the Yankees, that's what, 12 to 16 games a year? Oh yeah, I'll be at all that. They will be in Nashville.
Speaker 1 00:17:36 I'll be at all those games. And if, especially if the Braves came up and played, can you imagine seeing the Braves in Nashville?
Speaker 2 00:17:43 No. <laugh> not
Speaker 1 00:17:44 At all. And then you're hanging
Speaker 2 00:17:46 At the same time. I'm somebody who's just a fan of the game, so I would just go watch to watch. Yeah. Like I don't necessarily have to be a fan of the team playing, you know, with ju like, just how, like I have no idea about anything about hockey. I'm pretty sure they'll like 70% of the people that watched either, but they just watched cuz they wanna go watch, you know?
Speaker 1 00:18:05 Yeah. Have you been to a Pres game before?
Speaker 2 00:18:08 I haven't. I'm dying to go dude.
Speaker 3 00:18:10 They are some of the funnest games ever dude,
Speaker 1 00:18:12 That you talk about. And I, I thought we get pretty into our sports up, up in the northeast, like up in New York, you, the loudest environment I've been at for a sport, for a sporting event was a Nashville Predators game. And especially what's really cool is like when the Anthem plays and all that, everybody in the crowd can sing. I can't, but almost everybody in Nashville can sing. So everybody sings in unison. It's when Bridgestone is rocking, there's nothing quite like it.
Speaker 2 00:18:37 Yeah. And you know, Ty like, I mean I'm from Louisiana obviously, so Tiger Stadium, I've been to a couple of those games and they're just wild. But I can see like at, at a pres game, it's all closed in, right? So everything right in your face.
Speaker 3 00:18:50 I'll say this, I gotta to go to the Houston Texans Buffalo Bills, uh, playoff game this year because I was in Houston seeing my girlfriend. And uh, that is by far the loudest event. Now I am the opposite of the s e c spectrum where I'm an Alabama fan. So Bryant Denny gets rocking too. Hey,
Speaker 1 00:19:08 I, I gotta say though, the LSU fans team and me, um, aside from going out in the road with, with the boys and doing that and doing the podcast stuff, me and Tyler have both worked as bouncers in town for a little while. Oh yeah. So working on Broadway, we were at Whiskey Row for a while so we would see as fan bases would come in, especially the i c fan bases when they'd come in to play Vanderbilt and the LSU fan base travels really well. They, they hardy they, they come in massive numbers. So I can only imagine a Saturday night game in Baton Rouge
Speaker 2 00:19:41 Where everyone was
Speaker 1 00:19:42 There. Yes. Where, where everyone is there and where they open the parking lots really early and everybody's partying.
Speaker 2 00:19:48 Everybody starts tailgating at 6:00 AM Yeah, it's understood like the, I mean, before the game is even close to starting, like you've got everybody playing cornhole, everybody having a good time. Nobody tailgates like Tiger Stadium. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:20:05 It's on, it's on my bucket list to get to a game in Baton Rouge cuz I have no s e c allegiance. They, the Gary and Char, the Muske on guys. They're both Auburn guys. Boudreau, here's a Bama fan. I, and then I, I know, I know tons of Georgia fans, LSU fans, everybody, but I just want to go and experience ans e c football game. I feel like Tiger Stadium is the place to do it.
Speaker 2 00:20:26 That's what I'm talking about. How do you feel about that Boo Joe? Hey,
Speaker 3 00:20:29 You know what? I wouldn't mind going to an LSU game there too. I just gotta, you
Speaker 1 00:20:33 Just, you just want to eat jambalaya and stuff in the parking lot, don't you? Pretty
Speaker 3 00:20:36 Much <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:20:38 Hey, they'll take like the biggest pot that you can have and just have it under a tent. Exactly. And there's one of those like every block, if not exactly like everybody's got one.
Speaker 1 00:20:47 Yeah, yeah. You should have seen me eating crawfish for the first time in Monroe. I had never eaten them before. So me, the guy's trying to teach me to, to to break it apart and suck on the head and do this and the process of it. And we ate like 80 pounds of crawfish that day between the two of us.
Speaker 2 00:21:03 I can't eat a whole 10 pounds by myself. Yeah. Like
Speaker 3 00:21:05 He's me and me and him split 10 pounds. I had to tap out a little bit earlier, uh, the night before I'd kind of cut my finger open and so all the like the spice and stuff was like getting that cut and I couldn't do it anymore. Like, I literally could not feel my, it, it wasn't going numb was the problem. It was just sitting in there and like marinating. So I like, I couldn't do it anymore. I had to tap out. I think I got about three pounds in, but I was nowhere near full.
Speaker 1 00:21:32 Yeah. The crawfish boil is a, is a proud tradition and um, I'm very happy I got to be a part of that. What's that hat you got on your head there? That's pretty cool. Oh,
Speaker 2 00:21:41 My friend gave this to me. It's from a company called Red Necking, but he was my old roommate and like, I love it obviously cuz it's camouflage and um, it just feels really good <laugh> like, it, it feels good anyway that you wear it And uh, it's just a slick looking hat too, so
Speaker 1 00:21:58 That's dope. Yeah, I, I dig it. I, I dig the, the, the camo hat game and all the cool brands that are up in Nashville. And you were talking about Desiree, you have got somebody really cool in your corner. She is awesome. I'm a big fan of Desiree.
Speaker 2 00:22:13 Yeah, she is an absolute workhorse. Yeah. How,
Speaker 1 00:22:16 Yeah, how how'd y'all, how'd y'all meet?
Speaker 2 00:22:18 So we got introduced to each other through a mutual friend because we're both actually from, you know, Boer City. She grew up in Minden, which is about 30 minutes east on the interstate from where I grew up. So we'd never met each other. But um, like she'd been living in Nashville for quite some time and I was trying to get up there and I was having a conversation with my friend and he was like, well I have a friend Desiree and she's actually pretty, you know, connected up there. I can try to, you know, just link y'all up and just see what happens, you know, and then we just kind of hit it off and she's basically like my sister now <laugh>. So
Speaker 1 00:22:51 <laugh>, yeah. She's a good person to have in your corner. And, um, working the merch table with her, she hustles man. She was slinging them. Garrett Jacobs shirts. I'll tell you what,
Speaker 2 00:23:01 <laugh> Yeah. She knows what's up. She, she knows just she's the kind of person that when she wants something, she's going to go get it and there's nobody that's going to get in her way. Like she's going to make it happen.
Speaker 3 00:23:13 Yeah. And that's definitely the type of people like in your corner course, you know?
Speaker 1 00:23:18 Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:23:19 Absolutely.
Speaker 1 00:23:19 Yeah, for sure. So for you now being in Nashville, um, a question that we, um, that we always like to ask that first night, I mean, you're, you're still, you just turned 20 so you really haven't had a chance to go out, but have you gotten to experience the Bar circuit in Nashville or gotten to experience what that is? Like the animal that is the bars of Nashville, Tennessee.
Speaker 2 00:23:40 Oh yeah. So my first night in Nashville, I was actually lucky enough to play Whiskey Jam cause
Speaker 1 00:23:46 Um Oh wow.
Speaker 2 00:23:47 Yeah. And, and I had no idea how big of a deal that was. Damn. I had no idea how big of a deal that was. But Desiree was really good friends with Ward and he was kind enough to put me in my little acoustic gig self, you know, in the lineup. And I came in and played some songs that I thought were good, but I hadn't been in town and they were really bad. But <laugh>, um, just that whole scene, there's nothing like it. Everybody's there to have a good time and almost every single night you can walk in anywhere at after nine o'clock and it's going to be packed no matter where you're at.
Speaker 1 00:24:23 Yeah, absolutely. In the whiskey jam stage, um, whiskey Jam is a cool environment because you have, it's all music people that are in there. So it's a lot of your peers and they're gonna really listen. Like they're gonna, no matter who you are, you're up on that stage. That's a rite of passage. So that, that's a big deal that you got to do that. What's it like being on that, that tiny little stage in, uh, in Winner's Pub and just having the crowd because the crowd's like right on top of you?
Speaker 2 00:24:49 Yeah, no, it's, the atmosphere is great, you know, cause it's always packed, but you know, you're doing something right when, um, you're up there and everybody, like, even if they don't know the words or anything, they just kind of start bobbing up and down and everything and you're like, oh, okay, okay. Like this is in the right direction, you know, I can't wait till, you know, I have a song where I walk in there and people actually sing the words back to me. Like, I'm really looking forward to that moment.
Speaker 1 00:25:15 Well, that's gonna happen dude. Um, and already Ready might be that song cuz that, that seems to be doing really well. And, uh, and we dig that a lot here. When's your birthday in January? Cause I'm a January baby too.
Speaker 2 00:25:27 January 26th.
Speaker 1 00:25:29 I'm January 23rd.
Speaker 2 00:25:31 All
Speaker 1 00:25:31 Right. So I'll tell you what, what we, what we can do next year, next year's the big 21. Yeah. So next year for your 21st, you got, you got our word. Me and Boudro know the Bar Circuit real well up in Nashville, Tennessee. We'll, we'll have, we'll have a, we'll have a dang good time with you and we'll, we'll get, you
Speaker 3 00:25:47 Get, we've pretty much worked at our drink too much at every bar in Nashville at this point. <laugh>,
Speaker 1 00:25:54 Yeah. We've had, we've had some, some wild times, whether it's downtown My favorite's Midtown because I, I mean, as much as I love tourists coming to our city and stuff, working security, um, downtown and seeing the worst of people downtown and bringing people out from the rooftop of a bar like Whiskey Row and having to get 'em from the rooftop down to the first floor and out the door. It can be a lot, but, um, definitely. We'll, we'll get you in for a red door night and, uh, we'll start out, start on the mum and work our way to Red Door. Maybe end up at Cookout if the night goes well enough.
Speaker 2 00:26:24 <laugh>. Okay. Shoot. Cookout Nuggets or where's in Quesadillas? Yeah, cookout. Nugget Quesadillas is my go-to. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:26:31 Where's your spot for hot chicken? Because you're from Louisiana, so you like spicy stuff. Where do you go to for hot chicken?
Speaker 2 00:26:37 So, mine's kind of an answer that nobody thinks about, but there is a place down in Nolansville called Outlanders. Okay. And, and they have some really good stuff. All right. You know, they're Fry. They even have something that looks like a Booda ball, but it is a fried buffalo mac and cheese ball.
Speaker 1 00:26:57 Well, I think you just gave Boudreaux a little chubby. He's excited. <laugh>. Damn.
Speaker 3 00:27:00 I'm gonna have to check this place out, dude. Uh, have you had, uh, big shakes yet?
Speaker 2 00:27:06 Big? Where?
Speaker 3 00:27:07 Big Shakes?
Speaker 2 00:27:08 Uh, no, I haven't,
Speaker 3 00:27:09 Dude, it's down in Franklin. There's also one I think up in like Madison now. Okay. And it's, uh, what part of Nashville are you living in right now?
Speaker 2 00:27:18 I'm around like, cool Springs Franklin area.
Speaker 3 00:27:20 Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you know, like the exit is like Murphysboro Road in, uh, on 65 in Franklin. Um, it's like in that little shopping center where there's like the, uh, Goodwill, there's like a pawn shop there, and then there's ihop, uh, barbecue and um, big shakes. I say you can get all three meals in one shopping center down there. It's a great place to be <laugh>. But, um, yeah, so big shakes, it's like the guy who owns it, like still is a cook there. And it's by far my favorite hot chicken.
Speaker 1 00:27:56 It's a big, it's a big large black man that looks like he would be named Big Shake.
Speaker 3 00:28:00 Yeah. But dude, it's like they, they have not only hot chicken, but one of my favorite things is they have a hot catfish.
Speaker 2 00:28:11 Okay. I have to try that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:28:12 Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:28:13 And like, so when it comes to hot chicken, you know, in l in Louisiana, a lot of our stuff is a slow burn.
Speaker 3 00:28:19 Exactly. You know,
Speaker 2 00:28:20 Like, like crawfish. It's not like something that you eat and on the first bite you're like, holy crap, I need some water, you know? But about 10 minutes in you're like, oh my gosh, I'm kind of feeling this <laugh>. But so like hot chicken is still taking a little time to grow on me because it's hot from the first bite. There's no going around it. It
Speaker 3 00:28:40 Can, if you get to the right place. I say that Big Shakes is one of these places and I think Hattie Bees is too, where it's a growing heat, like, kinda like the Cajun stuff is, and you know, you, Matt can attest to this, like, I pretty much put Creole seasoning on everything I eat.
Speaker 1 00:28:57 He brought a big thing of Creole seasoning up here in
Speaker 3 00:29:00 Delaware. You know, like the big, like family size one that you can buy.
Speaker 2 00:29:02 What's it called?
Speaker 3 00:29:03 Tony's.
Speaker 2 00:29:05 Okay. I was about to say it better be tongue's. Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 00:29:07 Yeah. There's nothing else you'd eat, man. It better be,
Speaker 2 00:29:10 I love slap your mama, but it's not Tony's.
Speaker 1 00:29:12 No. Wait, slap Slap your mama. Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:29:14 I've never heard of that.
Speaker 1 00:29:16 No, slap your,
Speaker 2 00:29:17 It's a, it's another Creole season.
Speaker 3 00:29:19 Yeah, yeah it is. And there's a couple other ones, like Kroger has a brand name that's absolute shit. I bought that one time because it's a little strap for cash and they didn't have any Tony's, but nah, Tony's is where it's at and that's the only thing I'll ever do. In fact, on the chicken that we cooked tonight, I put Nashville hot seasoning, some Kentucky bourbon, barbecue sauces, and a shit ton of Tony's on it,
Speaker 1 00:29:39 <laugh>. And it was pretty hot. It was good. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:29:42 You can't ever go wrong with Tony. No.
Speaker 1 00:29:43 Tony's, Tony's it goes
Speaker 3 00:29:45 Home, everything. It's good from pasta. Good on chicken, good on burgers, literally anything you want, just put it in there instead of putting salt in your pasta. Like boil. Put some Tony's in there, it'll change your life. Oh,
Speaker 1 00:29:55 I'm gonna have to do that for sure.
Speaker 3 00:29:57 Like
Speaker 2 00:29:57 Butter, like you can't go wrong with butter. Yeah. It's a Tony's <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:30:02 <laugh>. Yeah, dude. No, I, I for sure. I'm gonna have to check that out. Um, so now, so you've gotten to do some cool things. You just mentioned Whiskey Jam. You mentioned the listening room. You mentioned why not Wednesday? You've gotten to do quite a bit. Um, it, what for you has stood out as far as like a live performance, whether it be like a writer's round where you're like, oh shit, like I'm, I'm up here doing this. Or it being a live show where you've gotten to go out and do the thing full band with your boys.
Speaker 2 00:30:28 Um, doing the live shows has really become something that I've fallen in love with, you know, towards the beginning. Um, it was something that was very new to me. Like I wasn't used to, like, I'd been on stage but just actually jamming out and having a good time. Like everything before that was very confined. And then I actually played a show at the Rev and, um, Reston, Louisiana, and I was opening for Riley Green and that crowd was insane. And I feel like that's when I kind of broke through the wall of like, performing is what I want to do. Like, I would, like, if I could do a back flip, I would do it on stage because that's how hype I feel when I'm
Speaker 1 00:31:11 Upset. <laugh>. Yeah, theri. Yeah. The Riley Green crowd is a force too. I'm sure you had a good time there.
Speaker 2 00:31:17 Oh yeah, that was ri I think when I played the show there was, this girl was like number three on the charts. Oh
Speaker 3 00:31:23 Wow. So it
Speaker 2 00:31:23 Was like, yeah. Yeah. So it was, um, like it was on the come up and everybody was there for it. And it was Louisiana, so you know how that goes. <laugh> <laugh>,
Speaker 1 00:31:33 Yeah, Louisiana's definitely on my list of, of Rowdier shows and, and the Texas Club, that was a good time too. Um, Baton Rouge knows how to get down in a bar like the Texas Club. I didn't realize the history of country music in Louisiana. Just how many acts have come through that place in Baton Rouge, like those southern honky tonks. There's like Coyote Joe's out in Carolina. You've got Billy Bob's in Texas, and then you've got the Texas Club in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. So that, that's gotta be a cool place for you to have played.
Speaker 2 00:32:02 Yeah, I feel like every state has their place that just knows country music. And for the Louisiana is the Texas club because you walk in and you look around and you can't even see the paint on the walls because everywhere you look is a plaque of somebody that has played there. You know, you've got people all the way from Allen Jackson to like Dylan Scott, you know, just the entire spectrum is there, you know, so it's a good, it's a cool place.
Speaker 3 00:32:28 Could also tell it's been around forever because I don't know if you got the chance to, if you looked off, I think it was stage right there was like between the stage and the door that was a little drop off there and it was still like your like seventies disco, like black and wild, black and white checkered floor tiles. You could tell it's been there a while.
Speaker 2 00:32:50 That's where we had our inner air rig at <laugh>. So
Speaker 3 00:32:53 Same for us. I think so. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:32:56 Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:32:57 Yeah, dude, I mean, it's, it's cool and getting to go around now, um, you're getting the tour a lot of places across the country and um, I know you, you've got some shows that probably have been postponed with all the stuff that's going on and whatnot. Where's the place that you're excited to go and check out?
Speaker 2 00:33:14 I've never been to Carolina and, um, I'm on a, I'm on like a 10 roof circuit this summer, and I don't think that's been postponed yet. I don't know for sure. But, um, I'm really excited to go around the entire southeast, but I've never been up to the Carolinas and I've got a couple shows over there. I'm gonna get to hit up Myrtle Beach Oh. And see how that
Speaker 3 00:33:35 Is. Dirty Murderr. So
Speaker 2 00:33:37 <laugh> I'm excited for, for going up there.
Speaker 1 00:33:40 Yeah. The Tinder circuit. That's a hell of a place to start. Like that's a really, that's that's a fun circuit because that's gonna take you everywhere,
Speaker 3 00:33:47 Dude. Be Oh yeah. Be careful in North, North Carolina, man. You'll fall in love real quick there. <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:33:52 Yeah, I, I fell, I I fell in love in South Carolina and then I got my,
Speaker 3 00:33:55 I'm not talking about with a girl, I'm talking about with the actual, like living there. <laugh> like the scenery, dude. Like you got the mountains in Nashville.
Speaker 2 00:34:02 Great.
Speaker 3 00:34:02 Yeah, dude. But I don't know man, I, I still say like, if I ever move anywhere that isn't like Texas or if I ever move outta Asheville, and it isn't like Texas, it's probably gonna be the North Carolina to like Asheville, that area. Yeah. Because you got the mountains, middle of the state, you got the plains and then you got the beach. So literally like within like a, about a six to nine hour drive, you can be in any type of environment you want to be in.
Speaker 2 00:34:28 All right. Well I'll have to go check it out <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:34:29 Yeah. Yeah, dude. Oh, you definitely will. Um, and you'll be, you'll be checking it out and um, you're doing, so you were doing something really cool. Um, the single it's out. It's, it's, it's gonna be out, um, gonna be out soon. Um, the the scavenger hunt that you've got, that you and Desiree have put on for this new single, what's this promotion? Uh, what's this new single that you got and, uh, tell us a little bit about all that.
Speaker 2 00:34:52 Yeah, so the single is, um, it's called Young Love and the Scavenger Hunt actually started with my single in July, just like you, we had a music video for it and we were playing off the line. Everybody's looking for a girl just like you. And we made the music video where like there was a girl and she stealed my hat and she takes me on a scavenger hunt all around town to find it. And, um, we integrated that into my socials because I love, like, I just love people, I love my fans and I love to just get to talk to them in any way that I can. So this was a way to kind of get people's heads to turn and just have fun online, you know, and the response for it was really good and people were actually interested in it and it was fun to see people's guesses and the comments and everything. But, um, it's something that I've really grown to love and that's why we've extended it throughout my other singles.
Speaker 1 00:35:48 That's awesome, dude. Yeah. Social media, you seem to be killing it. You got a pretty good little following there on the Instagram.
Speaker 2 00:35:54 Yeah, I mean, I just do, I mean, I'm just posting <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:36:00 Yeah. Now are you, are now, are you, are you a single dude?
Speaker 2 00:36:04 Yeah, I'm single.
Speaker 1 00:36:05 What, what's the weirdest DM that you've gotten?
Speaker 2 00:36:08 I don't know if it's appropriate for me to say <laugh>, but I'm a Yeah, it was bad. <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:36:16 Were, were there, were there photos involved and stuff or what, what was, what was like, what was the context? Was it, or was it like, was it like an obsessed fan kind of thing where like you met the, you ended up, they ended up coming out to a show. Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:36:28 I've had the obsessed fans, but like, also just the things that this person was saying to me is definitely not something that I would wanna show to my mom. <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:36:38 Get that.
Speaker 2 00:36:42 So yeah, every now and then, you know, I can, like, I don't really go to my dms that much, so I've, I've basically stopped looking at them and nobody's really like that brave yet to do it in the comments. <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:36:56 Yeah, you'll get to that point. You were, we were talking about Riley Green earlier, and it's funny you see Riley Green jump on the, they've been, there's been all these live videos going on and um, I know you've been doing some live stuff as well, which has been really cool to see and the way that we're getting through all this coronavirus stuff. But to see when Riley Green jumped on the Whiskey Jam Live video and to see all the comments and the comments in his photo section are very interesting.
Speaker 2 00:37:22 Yes. You've got Mary, me, you know, insert really, um, risky comment here. Like <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:37:33 Yeah, oh yeah, no, with with guy guys. Like, with guys like, uh, with with guys like Riley and, um, Parker McCollum's another one who's been popping up there, the people that the comments have been getting really weird and, and interesting and, uh, and even at, even that show is being at being out on the road with just seeing, seeing how fans can get and stuff. You're being a 20 year old dude. Enjoy it, dude. You're <laugh> being a single guy. Enjoy, enjoy that life of being on the road, man.
Speaker 2 00:37:59 No, I, I love it. And um, you know, I love when you're performing live and you can tell that the crowd and, um, they're not just there for the dive bar that you're in, you know, they're there, they are there for the music, you know, so I love when you walk in and that atmosphere is just electric, you know?
Speaker 1 00:38:19 Yeah, no, and that, that electric, uh, atmosphere you kill it with, with a lot of coverage too. And, uh, right now it's starting out your live show's a lot of fun. Tell us a little bit, tell the people that, that might not have had the opportunity to see you. What's a Garrett Jacobs live show? Like,
Speaker 2 00:38:34 So you're gonna hear some songs that you never thought a country artist would sing. And I'm gonna, I'm, I'm going to play songs that are going to get the room hype because I like to have a party and I like to hear everybody screaming, whatever lyrics back. So I'm going to play those kinds of songs and then, um, if I have the chance, I'll like kind of break it down real quick and play a song. Like right now I do, um, I do Post Malone, I Fall Apart. Yeah,
Speaker 1 00:39:05 I remember that that stuck out to me being, I was at the merge table and then I remember, um, I remember hearing that and being like, what is going on right now? And then the crowd was just getting into it and I was like, oh shit, here we go.
Speaker 2 00:39:17 Yeah. Cuz that's a song that, you know, everybody loves, but it, and I kind of take the band out of it at the beginning and um, and I do it just strictly acoustic and just to hear everybody else singing it is, it's really fun, you know, I like to have fun and keep people on their toes with whatever I'm gonna play, but regardless, it's going to be a good time.
Speaker 1 00:39:36 <laugh>. Yeah. So, so you're playing Post Malone stuff, so are your music interests kind of kind of scattered and you like a little bit of everything?
Speaker 2 00:39:43 Oh, yeah. Um, I didn't really realize how much I loved the pop side of anything, of everything until I really started diving into songwriting and I started discovering that that's where a lot of my melodies that I wrote went, and then I really dove into pop and everything. Like Shawn Mendez is one of my favorites. Yeah. I, you
Speaker 1 00:40:02 Know, he, I, and, and that's a comparison and I know with, with, with country music and I know it's not, not how it, how it used to be where everybody was kind of like, that ain't country da da da. Now there's so much crossover and you can really be yourself. And, and, um, and when you were able to hit those notes and have those kind of melodies, Shawn Mendez is somebody that you remind me of in terms of like vocally and just how it goes with like, the melodies and this and that. And I, that's a compa that's a cool, gotta be a cool comparison to get. And, um, and to be able to put on a show and it opens you up to a lot more people as far as fans go,
Speaker 2 00:40:37 Oh yeah, I appreciate that man. You know, so it's just, um, yeah, like he's, he's definitely somebody that, you know, is flattering to have, to have somebody say, you know, you're kind of like this guy, which is cool. But then at the same time, I've got a lot of country in Me Too. Like, I have that soul side where, um, you know, the Chris Stapleton comes in and I've, I've really looked to him when it comes to really telling a story in songwriting and being real with what you're writing. And then, um, Thomas Rt too, he's great. So
Speaker 1 00:41:09 Yeah, that's another, that's another one that I could see. And I remember seeing, my first time seeing Thomas RT was up in New York. It was 2013. So you were, you were probably what, you were probably 13, 12 at that point, right? I was, oh, this years ago. And at that point Thomas Rt was on tour with Jason Aldean. He was playing Madison Square Garden. It was just him with an acoustic guitar and all the big song he had at the time was Beer with Jesus. And to see where his careers gone and how he's put so much, so many different styles into his music, that's a cool guy to cool guy to be a fan of and look up to.
Speaker 2 00:41:40 Yeah, he's definitely somebody that's not afraid to break down barriers, but he still makes sure that songwriting is at the core of what he does, you know, and I really admire that in him and I also admire where he is at, you know, with his family and everything and how you can see that he's a really genuine person in everything that he does, which is really, you know, just role model status. So, yeah.
Speaker 1 00:42:04 Yeah, he's def def he's definitely his father's son. He has a lot of red akins in him for sure. Yeah. <laugh>. Absolutely. Now are, are you on Twitter at all?
Speaker 2 00:42:13 Oh yeah. Yeah, I'm on Twitter.
Speaker 1 00:42:14 Okay. So a segment that we like to do on here, um, Boudreaux is a big Twitter guy. He runs our, our Twitter account with, uh, with the podcast. He's also got a bunch of troll accounts where he likes to go on. And you being an s e c football fan would love it. He gets into it with Ohio State football fans all the time.
Speaker 3 00:42:29 I'm pretty, I had like Ohio State like alumni coming after me. It was, it was great.
Speaker 1 00:42:35 Yeah. So he likes to go on. So what we like to do is, um, Tyler likes to look up the, the Twitter handle, um, our guest Twitter handles and stuff and read off some tweets and whatnot. So how active are you on Twitter? Is it just like a music thing or do you get on there and post all kinds of stuff?
Speaker 2 00:42:51 I'm mainly, like, my main focus is Instagram, but like, if I, like Twitter is where I go to either, you know, promote music or say things that I think are funny and like kind of relatable or whatever, but I don't know
Speaker 3 00:43:04 What's, what's that handle?
Speaker 1 00:43:06 Yeah. What's that Twitter handle? Garrett.
Speaker 2 00:43:08 Garrett underscore. Jacobs underscore <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:43:11 All right, cool. So, so one, like we've had, um, I wanna see what what Boudreaux can find here, because you seem like a guy, you've, you've gotten us laughing during this podcast right now. You're funny dude. I wanna see that sense of humor a little bit. You might
Speaker 2 00:43:24 Have to, you might have to scroll a little bit. I haven't been tweeting very
Speaker 3 00:43:27 Much since. Oh, I will go all the way back. <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:43:29 <laugh>. We're about to find like high school baseball Garrett,
Speaker 3 00:43:33 1200 tweets. We'll find something good in here,
Speaker 2 00:43:35 <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:43:37 Yeah, it's, it's interesting how like, oh, here we go. What do you
Speaker 3 00:43:40 Got anything where a horn goes down in Louisiana
Speaker 2 00:43:45 <laugh>, because that was right when the Longhorns lost against LSU <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:43:48 Yeah. That game, that game was actually the Yeah, yeah, it was the replay of that game was actually on TV today. Um, yeah, on one of the, and I remember we were in H Houston, we had a show in Houston that night, and Houston's an interesting area because it's so close to, it's so southeast in Texas where there's a lot of Louisiana people that migrate over there. So watching, being in a bar that night in between the, uh, the ending of that game was crazy. And that really showed how good of a quarterback Joe Burrow was and what a leader he was to go into Austin and win that game. Um, but watching a crowd that's half ut, half LSU watching a game together in a bar all glued to the monitor and half the people freaking out that LSU won half the people freaking out that ut lost, that was a hell of a game. So that, that's a good, that's a good tweet right there. Well,
Speaker 2 00:44:39 And then on top of that, that weekend, um, the Texans played the Saints and The Saints won too. And it was like that super tight game at the end of it too. So that's why I was like, anything where the horn goes down, cause
Speaker 1 00:44:53 Absolutely that's a fact.
Speaker 3 00:44:55 Hey, late Twitter, why can't I sleep? It's 1:49 AM Please send help.
Speaker 2 00:45:00 <laugh> <laugh>. Yeah, no, I like to uh, turn to Twitter when my sleeping insomnia problems come off
Speaker 3 00:45:07 <laugh>. I know. Uh, then, then the next one is, the reason he can't sleep late night coffee is the reason my sleep schedule is so whack.
Speaker 2 00:45:14 <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:45:15 You a big, you a big coffee guy.
Speaker 2 00:45:17 Um, I wasn't before I moved to Nashville and
Speaker 1 00:45:20 Then, yeah, and then the grind <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:45:22 Yes. And then the grind and coffee just happened. It's just one of those things that comes up.
Speaker 1 00:45:27 Ha. Have you been to have, do you have a coffee shop that you like going to in Nashville?
Speaker 2 00:45:32 Um, I, I like to bounce around a little bit. Like you have like honest coffee in Franklin and then you have Frothy Monkey on 12th South and you have like Easter Parlor.
Speaker 3 00:45:40 Have you ever done Red Bicycle?
Speaker 2 00:45:42 Yeah, red Bicycle's great. Yeah,
Speaker 3 00:45:44 I used to their
Speaker 2 00:45:44 Coffee. It's actually really good. It's like her flavors.
Speaker 3 00:45:47 It's, I'm not a big coffee fan, but Rib bicycle is like one that I go to a lot. Uh, it used to be off, like they opened the shop right off the back end of campus. I went to Tribecca and so like I would go there to study whenever I, uh, didn't wanna study and
Speaker 1 00:46:01 Frothy monkey's great, my thing that I used to get there cuz working on working downtown, you're pulling crazy hours and everybody, a lot of people worked down there were all kind of maniacs pulling 12 hour shifts being around that many people. So lots of pre-workout, lots of bang energy, lots of that. The hummingbird at the Frothy Monkey, I dunno if you've ever had that. The, if you ever, it's like, it's it's definitely, it's some kind of like latte thing. It's got some cinnamon stuff in there. I don't know exactly what's in there. I just know that my, our bar manager used to feed them to us. Yes, all the time. I drink like two or three of 'em a shift and just be
Speaker 3 00:46:35 Wired. Something that I love is, uh, it was a place at, um, Tribeca we had on coffee shop on campus in the library of all places because who wants to, uh, study in a quiet library? You know, why not put a coffee place in there and just, you know, let it be loud. But they had something, like I said, I'm not a big coffee fan, so they had something called the London Fog and it was like vanilla with honey, vanilla, lavender, and, uh, milk and like steamed and it was amazing. It literally tasted like a cloud
Speaker 2 00:47:12 <laugh>. That's cool, man. They have this, uh, in the fall, the fro theme monkey. They have this thing called the, uh, whiskey maple latte.
Speaker 3 00:47:20 Ooh, yeah, those things are good too.
Speaker 2 00:47:22 It's so good. Yeah, it's so good. Like it's got, they put like salt in the foam and everything and it's just, did you, uh, I don't warms your bones up.
Speaker 3 00:47:29 I think it's still open. I, I haven't heard of it closing, but I don't know, I don't hang out in the crowd that goes to coffee shops all the time. Have you ever been over to Cafe Cocoa?
Speaker 2 00:47:38 I don't think so.
Speaker 3 00:47:39 Do Cafe Cocoa? So on, I think it's like Tuesday or Thursday night. They have like an open mic night. If you wanna go see some of the weirdest people in Nashville at times, that's where you go. <laugh>. Um, last time I was in there, there was a dude playing an electric, uh, saw. He literally took a saw blade, like a hand saw and was like playing it with a violin bow through like a looper and like effects pedals and like yeah, that, that's the kind of crowd that hangs out there. But dude, their coffee and their food and their cheesecake is like where it's at. And they got like the cookies that are like the size of your face. But the great thing is they are a 24 hour establishment. So you want coffee at 3:00 AM go. You might meet the sketchiest person where it's over in, uh, like midtown area.
Speaker 2 00:48:26 Really?
Speaker 3 00:48:27 Yeah, dude, cafe cocoa. It is like, it, it was my favorite spot cuz like I, I don't sleep a lot and I used to be able to go at like 1:00 AM and get coffee to get me through the next day. Basically. Like I would start drinking coffee at 1:00 AM to, cuz I knew if I went to sleep, I wasn't gonna wake up for class. So I would drink coffee <laugh> to stay up, to drink coffee, to go to class.
Speaker 1 00:48:50 It's a dangerous slope. <laugh>, that's a slippery slope. Like a
Speaker 2 00:48:55 <inaudible> disaster. Oh
Speaker 3 00:48:57 Dude, I, my sophomore year, just fall semester alone, I pulled like 48 all-nighters that semester alone and like there was twice that I stayed up for five days straight. Like it used to be insane in college.
Speaker 2 00:49:09 Not this kid. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:49:10 Honestly.
Speaker 1 00:49:11 Yeah. Yeah. AB absolutely do. And uh, and for sure. So as far as 2020, um, lots of new music coming out and, uh, lots of big plans. What do people have to look forward to for Garrett Jacobs here in the year 2020?
Speaker 2 00:49:25 Um, definitely more music. I'm not stopping writing anytime soon and I'm getting on the road whenever all of this is over. Like, I want to play shows, I want to come see everybody and um, you know, who knows? So gotta leave it, gotta leave a little up to guess. So
Speaker 1 00:49:44 <laugh>. Yeah, no, that, and also I wanted to ask, so a lot of people have been doing these, um, these Zoom rights and like FaceTime and all that. You being down in Louisiana now, um, have you been doing any of that and if so, do you like writing like that? Has it been working for you? Oh yeah,
Speaker 2 00:50:01 So, um, I've done, I've done a couple Zoom writes and actually like my first songwriting session was actually over FaceTime because I was living in Louisiana and I had somebody in Nashville that, um, wanted to write a song. So, and me being the person that had no idea what I was doing, I was like, sure, why not? So my first right was actually over FaceTime, but, um, yeah, so I mean, it's cool. It's different. It's good to be able to, you know, roll out of bed and like in an hour and a half have a right. So just drink coffee until then and then drink more coffee while you're in your right and then, uh, not even have to put real clothes on. So,
Speaker 1 00:50:38 <laugh>. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:50:39 That's great.
Speaker 1 00:50:40 So do you feel like the, the difference obviously has gotta be like you're in the room with people for like, being in like a writer's room to being over a screen. Cause I, a lot of people that I've talked to, they're having a tough time adjusting to that. Um, right now,
Speaker 2 00:50:55 Yeah, it's tough, you know, there's definitely a different kind of energy, but at the same time, like in Nashville, there's so many just absolutely talented songwriters and when you put together a bunch of talented songwriters, no matter what you're doing, like something good is going to happen, you know, no matter where you're at, no matter if it's over a screen or in a room, um, it's different, but I, I still has a lot of potential there to be special.
Speaker 1 00:51:22 Hell yeah. No, that's, that's good to hear, man, because that's the thing a lot of people can be, can be struggling with the, with the time right now in terms of keeping the creativity going, keeping their head in the game. But it seems like you're able to do that right now, which is, which is huge, um, to keep, to be able to keep doing what you're doing while all this craziness is going on.
Speaker 2 00:51:42 Yeah, it's tough, but I mean, you gotta just keep chugging along
Speaker 1 00:51:46 Ex Exactly. Yeah, exactly. No, absolutely. That's the, that's the right attitude to have, man. And, uh, and we're looking forward to seeing what, what the future holds for you. Seriously. Like, you're, you're a young guy doing this thing and you're doing it very well and, um, you've already got quite a few notches in your belt and, uh, very excited to see what the future holds for, uh, for Mr. Garrett Jacobs, man, very excited.
Speaker 2 00:52:09 I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 00:52:09 And, uh, we're looking forward to, uh, we definitely gotta get you on, um, on some of our writers rounds that we do over at Live Oak. Um, we'd love to have you have you over there and, uh, and do do more stuff with you, um, as we keep the podcast going and, uh, and everything. So once we get back to town, man, we definitely all gotta, gotta hang out. Maybe grab a cup of coffee since, uh, since we're, we're at 20 years old right now, and then as soon as the 21st birthday hits, man, we're gonna,
Speaker 2 00:52:35 We'll spike the coffee.
Speaker 1 00:52:36 <laugh>
Speaker 2 00:52:37 <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:52:40 Yeah, well,
Speaker 2 00:52:41 <laugh> no. Yeah, and I, I mean, with the rounds and everything, I'm always looking to play for anybody who will listen, so whatever, whatever happens, man, I'm down. Hell yeah, man.
Speaker 1 00:52:52 Hell yeah, dude. Yeah. We'll, um, we'll absolutely, um, get in on that and, uh, get in talking with, um, with Desiree and very excited. Um, congrats on the new single. Um, again, you wrote, so you wrote with Adam Craig. Go over that title real quick again and, um, what exactly went into this, this new one you got out?
Speaker 2 00:53:09 So, um, already ready, uh, I wrote that with Adam Craig and that was basically song I was there, there's was this girl that had just been stuck in my head and, um, I, she's basically, you know, everything that you could want. So he threw out the title already ready, and I was like, I know exactly what we're writing this about <laugh>. It just kind of fell together, um, after that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:53:37 Oh yeah. And then there's, there's one that you did with the scavenger hunt. So we're recording this on, um, on April the 11th right now. Um, the new one came out April the 24th. This is airing on May 4th. Tell us about this, this new secret one that the world doesn't know about while we're recording, but it'll be out when the episode comes out.
Speaker 2 00:53:56 Yeah, so I'm really excited about this one. It's called Young Love and it's basically, you know, like, you know, I had a typical high school relationship like everybody does. And, um, it's basically about the nostalgic feeling that that has and how everybody is so wrapped up to it into it and everything is so fresh and then, you know, it ends with the heartbreak or whatever, but it's, I wanted to have like a positive outlook on things and to not be heartbroken about it because it's just something that happens, you know? And I feel like everybody's been there and I know that I was there, so I'm really excited to, uh, see what happens when people hear this song and see, you know, what stories come out of it.
Speaker 1 00:54:38 Hell yeah, man, we're we're, that's awesome. We're super stoked and, um, very happy to be playing it here. Now, Garrett, man, thank you so much for hanging out with us.
