We're joined by another Tyler, one of our good buddies, a guy that we've gotten to know very well here in Music City. It's our good buddy, Tyler Chambers. Tyler, how the hell you doing, bud? Doing
Speaker 2 00:00:27 Great, guys. Thank you for having me,
Speaker 1 00:00:28 Dude. Of course. It's, it's a pleasure to have you. And um, I remember when I first moved to town there were you notice who's playing, who's playing, um, a lot of the rounds in town and like names that have like a buzz. And when I first moved here late 2018, you were one of the first guys that I remember seeing like playing revival and playing a lot of those rounds and stuff. So it's cool to fucking have
Speaker 2 00:00:47 You here Dude. Dude, thank you so much. Really. I appreciate
Speaker 1 00:00:49 That. So you've been here, we were just talking, you've been here four years now, huh?
Speaker 2 00:00:53 Yeah. Coming up on four years. Coming
Speaker 1 00:00:55 Up on four years. And you're from south Georgia,
Speaker 2 00:00:57 South Georgia.
Speaker 1 00:00:58 Part of that crew where there's a lot of you Georgia boys up here making a lot of noise and it's been that way for a while. But there's that crew of like yourself, um, Dylan Marlowe, Brian Fuller, like that whole crew of the Florida guys with Lee Langston and Bryce. They're in that group too. You guys got a pretty good little crew going here, huh?
Speaker 2 00:01:17 We do, man. I mean, I, you know, I met a lot of people when I first got up here, but you know, you just learn who you like hanging out with. And normally those are the people you like to ride with also. So, you know, you just, and
Speaker 1 00:01:28 All of y'all drive big trucks and I gotta say, and I know this is kind of country boy bragging rights. I'm a New Yorker, so I'm, I'm still learning the whole country boy thing. But the, you have one of the bigger trucks that I've seen, so congratulations on that. You have a bigger truck than Andy Austin.
Speaker 2 00:01:42 I'll take that all day long. <laugh>. I hope he hears that <laugh>. Hell
Speaker 1 00:01:45 Yeah. So growing up in Georgia, you have, you're, you come from a farm background, huh?
Speaker 2 00:01:48 Yeah, man. Yeah, we, uh, so I, I lived in town with my parents, but we've always had a family farm growing up. My grandfather was the president of the George Cattleman's Association for a long time. So we had a bunch of Angus cows and, well, he was the first person actually to, uh, bring bars on a cattle and raise 'em in the state of Georgia. So he did that. And then Really? Yeah, he was, man, he was something. Um, but yeah, he, you know, bought a farm with his buddy Billy Crider. He is got a really big poultry business now down there. But yeah, we just always had room to run and a place to work and, you know, that's sort of where it all started. Yes.
Speaker 1 00:02:24 You're fricking the country life of South Georgia where you're, where you're doing the farm stuff and all that. Like that's, that's fucking, that's big because down there, like, there's a lot of guys that come from that farm background. So for you, what was that like moving from South Georgia up here to Nashville?
Speaker 2 00:02:41 Well, man, I, I actually moved to Wyoming before here. Oh really?
Speaker 1 00:02:45 So you got even more country
Speaker 2 00:02:47 Before you came here? Shit. Yeah, I worked on like a dude ranch out there for about a year and learned, I mean, we had a hundred horses out there, so Dang. Yeah, we, I did the whole cowboy thing out there before I moved to Nashville.
Speaker 1 00:03:00 I'm, I'm gonna have to get some tips from you cause I just started dating a girl that lives in South Carolina, Uhhuh, and she's really big with the horse stuff. Like, she works on a horse farm in Clemson that's got like 50 horses and she turns them out and blankets on 'em and feeds 'em and does all that. And it's like 50 horses. She does all by herself. Yes. So I'm learning, I've, I've really no experience with horses. So what, what's, what is it about horses for you? Dude, I don't like the cowboy life and
Speaker 2 00:03:22 Stuff. They can just really wreck you if you aren't careful. So like, how
Speaker 1 00:03:26 Old, how old were you when you first got bucked off a horse?
Speaker 2 00:03:28 The first time I rode a horse, I got bucked off actually. I was like, or like actually rode a horse by myself that wasn't like on a lead rope. Yeah. We were at our farm and I don't, I didn't know what I was doing. I was probably 13, you know, just cruising through the pasture. And
Speaker 1 00:03:44 I hear it builds a lot of character when you
Speaker 2 00:03:46 It does man
Speaker 1 00:03:46 Off a horse. It
Speaker 2 00:03:47 Does. It'll scare the shit outta you. Yeah, they're huge, man. They can kill you. Oh,
Speaker 1 00:03:51 They're, there are some big freaking horses. Yeah, like I've, I've learned that there are some massive ones that are like, they look like freaking moose. Yeah. Like they're just fucking massive
Speaker 2 00:04:00 And stuff. Yeah. Big old draft horses and
Speaker 1 00:04:01 Stuff. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 00:04:02 That's like the Budweiser horses.
Speaker 1 00:04:03 Yeah, the freaking Clydesdale dude. They look all nice in the commercials, but they're, those are some big guys you get.
Speaker 2 00:04:08 They're normally the nicest ones though. Really? Yeah, they're normally pretty, they're temperaments. Pretty chill.
Speaker 1 00:04:13 That's cool. So how long were you at Wyoming before you moved out here?
Speaker 2 00:04:16 So I went, let's see, 2016. I was there for like, I guess six months. And then 2018 I went back for two. So cumulatively I, I always call it a year, but I guess like eight months or so. Okay. You know,
Speaker 1 00:04:28 What was the, were you out there when it was cold?
Speaker 2 00:04:31 Do you
Speaker 1 00:04:32 Experience
Speaker 2 00:04:32 Winter? Um, I've been out there during winter, like skiing and stuff, but we, I mean, we got snow and like, you know, probably some upper 20, lower 30 degree weather while I was out there. But What was,
Speaker 1 00:04:43 What was that like coming from South Georgia where you're used to warm weather and you're going up and it's snowing and you're like, what the hell is this
Speaker 2 00:04:51 Man? Honestly, I didn't really get the really bad side of it, so it wasn't too bad. I mean, there were definitely mornings when we went to work where I was like, holy shit.
Speaker 1 00:04:59 Because like, I can only imagine like somebody like Tyler. He's from South Alabama.
Speaker 3 00:05:03 South Alabama, and I got, it's cold. I moved to Nashville in 2013 and then, uh, winter of 2015, I got sent to about 45 minutes southwest of Boston. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> in the very northeast, oh God. Northeast corner of, uh, Connecticut. And it was the year they set the snow record <laugh>. There was, I'm not gonna lie to you, there was a stump that is tall as the table we're sitting at that I did not see until the last week I was there April 27th.
Speaker 2 00:05:29 It's my birthday.
Speaker 3 00:05:30 Yeah. Literally like that's how much snow there
Speaker 1 00:05:33 Was.
Speaker 2 00:05:33 Yeah. Yeah. I never really, I wasn't working in that kinda stuff. Honestly, the winters here in Nashville are way worse than anything I've ever experienced. Right.
Speaker 3 00:05:42 And even like some, like, you know, people that I know that are like northerners are like, yo, Nashville winters are a little bit more brutal than up north. Not with snow and stuff, but with how it's like a damp dude
Speaker 2 00:05:52 Cold.
Speaker 1 00:05:53 The humidity, dude, it gets you all year long here when it's cold, it gets you, when it's hot, it gets you,
Speaker 2 00:05:58 It hurts my feelings, honestly, man. Yeah. Like walking down to Ian in like, beginning of January, you come around the roundabout and there's just gust of wet wind.
Speaker 3 00:06:07 Last year about this time when we were taking scooters down, like whiskey jamming off <laugh> night, your hands would be frozen.
Speaker 2 00:06:13 Yeah. You're braver than I am.
Speaker 1 00:06:14 Didn't do that. Yeah. I, I've scooted from, um, from Broadway to like, out as far as like Bel Court taps or even to like Demian in a snowstorm. I've done that where I'm just like, fuck it, let's go <laugh>. And, and dude. Yeah. That, that, um, that uh, damp Cold definitely does get you. Yeah. So when you first, when you moved to Nashville, what was your, is there a night? Like, do you remember your first night that you don't remember, like your first night where you went out with the boys? Like your, you end up at Red Door, you end up at Cookout, dare I say a Waffle House at like 3:00 AM when you
Speaker 3 00:06:46 First moved here, was the cookout even here yet?
Speaker 2 00:06:47 Yeah, I was here. Okay.
Speaker 3 00:06:49 So I know when I first moved here, it took like a couple years for cookout to
Speaker 1 00:06:52 Get here. Oh shit. So you're an old timer
Speaker 2 00:06:54 <laugh>. Yeah. I mean, I guess was here. I really didn't start eating there until like the night started to get a little wilder, you know? Yeah. That's
Speaker 1 00:07:01 Like
Speaker 2 00:07:01 When there was like five or six, you know? Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:07:03 Yeah. Let's go get, yeah. When you start, when you start out at Whiskey Jam or Revival or one of those areas and you just work your way around. But do you remember that, that first night of being in the city where, man, it's a music where it's a drinking town with a music problem? That's what a lot of people say about Nashville.
Speaker 2 00:07:19 Yeah. I remember, I don't know if it was the first time, but I, I lived on a farm in Dixon, which is about 30 miles west of here. Yeah. For about the first six months. And, uh, I remember I really didn't know anybody, man, but I would just go around and try and meet songwriters and buy people drinks and just try and get 'em to talk to me, honestly. And I remember one night I, I wasn't even with anybody, but I would, I ended up sleeping in my truck at the BMI parking lot. Oh shit. And it was cold. <laugh>. Yeah, it was cold. But yeah, that was the first, that's probably the first time I woke up and I was like, all right, what the hell are you doing man? Yeah. Like, get your shit together, <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:07:59 Yeah. Cause this is, cuz it's a town where, I mean, there's a lot of people once they get here too. It's like one of your goals is to get to Nashville and people kinda get complacent, get caught up in the partying life.
Speaker 2 00:08:09 Oh man. There's, yeah, I know there's plenty of people here that, you know, move for music and really you gotta keep your head down because there's, it is a fun place and there's, you know, there's women, there's plenty. Yes. Plenty of drinks. You know, there're easy to make friends here. Most people are nice, you know, but yeah, you gotta make sure that at least I try and make sure to keep my head down and
Speaker 1 00:08:31 Yeah. Oh absolutely. I remember my, see I moved here my first weekend here was Halloween weekend. Oh good lord. And so I moved here right around that time and all the, you could out ask. Yeah, you could ask Tyler. There was a stretch and I was working as a bouncer on Broadway. I was at Whiskey Row. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So I'm bouncing on Broadway, working, doing that. And that stretch of when I first moved here up until like I would say right about this time last year. Yeah. We were just getting wild and we were going out. We would all be off on Sunday nights. Sunday nights were our Friday nights, which
Speaker 2 00:09:00 Would best not on Broadway
Speaker 3 00:09:02 Re Havoc on,
Speaker 1 00:09:02 On Broadway. We would, we would close, we would, we would pop by make our rounds Whiskey Row aldes. Sometimes you'd pop into, um, sometimes you'd pop Kid Rocks wasn't even there yet, right? No. But then you'd pop, you'd always end up at like The Wild Beaver or something, then you'd end up on your scooters and go out to fucking Midtown and just go. But yeah, no, there's a lot to get caught up in for sure.
Speaker 2 00:09:21 I mean, <laugh>, it's hard not to man. Yeah. Wild
Speaker 3 00:09:24 Beaver Nights were the ones that got really shitty. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:09:27 When you is fun. Oh dude, it's great now. A lot more tour go there and stuff. And I don't work, we don't work downtown anymore, so we're not there as much as we used to be, but, um, but yes. So now tell me about the music stuff. So for you, when did music really start? Was it starting in Georgia? Did you get that cowboy influence going out doing the Dew Ranch in Wyoming or? Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:09:46 Dude, it was really, um, I was listening to Dylan's podcast, y'all, Dylan Marlow the one y'all deal with him and it's, I never knew that he didn't do music until later in his life also. But yeah, I was, uh, I was at school at Georgia Southern and Statesboro actually where Dylan's from
Speaker 1 00:10:01 Another state. Okay. Yeah. Another guy with Statesboro type. There's a lot of y'all. There is,
Speaker 2 00:10:05 There is man.
Speaker 1 00:10:05 Have that statesboro, whether, whether it's yourself, Dylan, Brian Fuller. Right. Trey Landon's from there. Right? Yep. There's
Speaker 2 00:10:12 A lot. Yeah. Cost Windell. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:10:13 There's a big time everybody talks about Go Dogs with with uga. Yeah. But Georgia's Southern Eagle got got just as Eagle. Yeah. Got just as much of a country music tradition. So, so you're at Georgia Southern?
Speaker 2 00:10:22 Yeah, I was there, you know, trying, I showed up with a good GPA and uh, sort of flushed that down the toilet real quick.
Speaker 1 00:10:30 What were you, what were you majoring in?
Speaker 2 00:10:31 I was, uh, majoring in accounting.
Speaker 1 00:10:33 You weren't gonna be an
Speaker 2 00:10:34 Accountant. Yeah, man, that is
Speaker 3 00:10:36 The worst degree ever.
Speaker 2 00:10:37 <laugh>. I didn't, I never really disliked it. I mean, it wasn't like something that I just never thought I wouldn't be able to grasp. I just knew I probably didn't want do it. Well,
Speaker 1 00:10:45 You get a job with that degree. Right? That's the thing. If you don't want to go, if you want to do the nine to five thing Right. Especially this time of year, everybody's gotta do I don't know how to do my taxes. No. Some pay somebody to do it for you. That's right.
Speaker 3 00:10:56 Luckily I figured it out. Cause I had to take accounting because of, uh, I, business was my major. So like I did take accounting one and two and kind of figured that out. But yeah, I hated it. I barely passed.
Speaker 2 00:11:09 Yeah. It's, it's there. I mean, there, there's like rules of there's rules of accounting that, you know, sort of don't line up with normal math and shit. Things that you just
Speaker 1 00:11:17 Have to, I was a communications major, so I'm completely away from numbers. All
Speaker 3 00:11:22 That shit. You're like, shit A professor that was like, this is all real simple. If you don't get this, you're an idiot. Yeah. And you're like, well this is a totally new rule book and you're not really teaching us. You're just saying this is what, this is the numbers you should be getting. Figure it out. Right. That was our professor and yeah. It was rough.
Speaker 1 00:11:38 So, so the only
Speaker 3 00:11:39 Time I went to the library was for that class <laugh>. Right. The only time I read a book was for that class.
Speaker 2 00:11:44 Yeah. Old
Speaker 1 00:11:44 Accounting man. So, so accounting. Um, so you mo so you start out doing that. What do you dipping, by the way, what do you got? Is it cool that grizz you're dipping grizzly? What do you, what do you dip? Grizzly straight. Grizzly straight. Okay. So I dip Copenhagen Min. I'm a big, big co min guy. We have Ethan Willis lives with it. You know what his, his dad, he dips grizzly. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> grizzly Natural Fine cut. Yeah. Grizzly natural. Fine cut. It's a weird looking. It's the welfare bear Grizzly, which I like. Grizzly, grizzly winter greens usually a dip that everybody starts out on. Get that big buzz like Woo. But grizz, but grizzly straight. That's a good dip right there. There you go. Pack packing, hammers and stuff. So, so when did you make the switch from wanting to do be an accountant beat Tyler Chambers, the accountant to Tyler Chambers, the country singer songwriter. Singer
Speaker 2 00:12:27 Songwriter. Uh, it was about the time I moved to Ong. Man. I, I sort of got in some trouble in college and my parents were like, all right, that's enough. And they, they made the right call and I went home and I was working on our farm and helping my buddy pick blueberries. During the summer. I ran a crew and was picking blueberries and, you know, there's, I just, there was some stuff going on in my hometown and people that I was affiliated with at the time. And I was just like, man, I gotta do something else. I'm freaking 20 years old, I gotta get outta here. So I have two cousins that live in Colorado that did seasonal work out there, and they still live there now, actually. Um, so I knew it was sort of a thing that it was possible. So I just started looking up ranches in Colorado, in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota.
Speaker 2 00:13:15 And was completely unqualified for all every job that I applied for. Yeah. You know, but ended up, uh, getting a job at a place called Lost Creek Ranch and just packed up my stuff and rolled out and wasn't a whole lot of service out there. Um, yeah. So I got a lot of time with my guitar, didn't have a TV in my room or anything. And, you know, I was spending six hours a day on a horse in the most beautiful part of our country. Yeah. And it was just really inspiring. It changed me completely as a person and, uh, yeah, it led me to music. And, you know, I started playing a lot out there and I'd written one song and I played it for somebody and they're like, man, that's pretty good. It wasn't great, but, you know, I was like, man, I really like that.
Speaker 2 00:14:01 That was fun. I wanna do this again. So instead of going up to the cafeteria to eat lunch, I'd be in my room writing songs. And after work I'd be doing the same thing. And it just, one thing led to another. Um, then I, there were some people out there from Dixon at the time, and they were like, what are you doing? You know, when you leave, when you leave Wyoming? I said, well, I sort of thought about moving to Nashville, but I, I don't, I don't know. And they're like, well, we got a place that you can stay. We wouldn't mind it all, blah, blah, blah. I was like, well, I will take you up on that. So,
Speaker 1 00:14:36 Yeah. That, that kind of offer doesn't come around everywhere.
Speaker 2 00:14:38 Yeah. So I was like, be careful because I, I will take you up on that. Yeah. And they ended up being the best people ever. Miss, miss Dana and Mr. Ed. And, uh, yeah. So I got here and I didn't even unpack my shit when I got to the house in Dixon. I was like, I gotta go meet some people. So went down to Losers and just sat there by myself. Didn't know anybody at the time. And just started buying beers and yeah.
Speaker 1 00:15:02 So did you have like any, you, so you didn't know anybody here? No, I
Speaker 2 00:15:05 Didn't first moved. Didn't know single person though.
Speaker 1 00:15:07 Damn. See, I knew some people when I moved here. That's gotta be like, that feeling of just moving to a new place and not knowing anybody. I mean, that's like you Utah, that's like, you
Speaker 3 00:15:15 Moved here. Yeah. I mean, I love you for me, like, I moved here for college, so mm-hmm. <affirmative>, you know, at least like, I had a roommate that was very extroverted, very outgoing. Uh, I'm not very outgoing and stuff, but he was so, like, through him I made friends, but like, you know. Yeah. I would never like go to a bar and buy people drinks at all. So weird.
Speaker 1 00:15:34 That's
Speaker 2 00:15:34 What, that was weird.
Speaker 1 00:15:35 So dude. But, but dude, like going to winners and losers at Red Door and like, that circuit is so huge then for you to meet people. Cause that's where all the writers hang out. Right. So I had,
Speaker 2 00:15:44 Yeah. So I had a buddy that lived here bef that didn't live here when I got here though. Okay. And I asked him, I was like, Hey, where do I need to get, like, where do these people hang out? And they're like, mid, and he said Midtown. So Losers was my place for the longest time. And then I figured out, found out about revival, you know. Yeah. And all the rounds and stuff, I was like, okay, I get this. And I was writing really shitty songs by myself at the time. And I was going, you know, just to every round possible and learning, okay, that's what I need to shoot for, you know.
Speaker 1 00:16:16 When did the idea of co-writing pop up for you? Because you're, you're by yourself out in Wyoming,
Speaker 2 00:16:20 Right? It was weird, man. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:16:22 It's gotta be a lot because writing, writing is a hu I'm, I'm not a songwriter. I've never written a song in my life that there's plenty of guys and girls that are great at doing that, like yourself. And Bojo writes and Ethan writes, everybody here fucking writes. I don't, but it seems like it's like an intimate kind of experience. Well you're, you're putting a lot out there. Yeah. Especially if you're writing by yourself in Wyoming. So for you to open up those ideas and share 'em with other people in the creating process,
Speaker 2 00:16:45 It's intimidating when it, I mean, right. At first it was, you know, I mean, I'd uh, ended up getting a meeting at Warner Chapel somehow. Damn Right. When I moved here. And I wish I wouldn't have <laugh>. Yeah. I really wish I, well I mean, it was a learning experience, but it was a big old slice of humble pie going in there. And cuz I had like five or six songs in my name and, uh, will I met with Will Overton up there. And he was like, you know, cool. You know, that's cool stuff I guess. But you really should be co-writing. Yeah. And a, you know, right off the bat I was like, co-writing, like, this is my stuff. Why would I want to share this with anybody else? And he pretty much was like, look, if you want to do this, you're gonna have to co-write. So started booking some riots with people that I met at Losers and Tin Roof and all that stuff. Who,
Speaker 1 00:17:33 Who were some of those people early on?
Speaker 2 00:17:36 Oh man, you had to ask. Cause it's crazy
Speaker 1 00:17:38 When, cause it's crazy when you look back,
Speaker 2 00:17:41 Well shoot man, this probably was, this probably was like six months after we move in here, but Ryan Nelson's one was one of the main
Speaker 1 00:17:48 Guys. Oh fuck. Yeah. That's one of our
Speaker 2 00:17:49 Dudes. Yeah. That's my man. Yeah. We ride every Tuesday.
Speaker 1 00:17:53 Hell yeah. Now, so that's great.
Speaker 2 00:17:55 Um, him and, uh, crap, I'm trying to think of this girl's name. Oh, there was a girl I wrote with here. I can't, I can't remember her name to save the life of me. This is bad. Um, but yeah, there were, there were really just like two or three people that I was writing.
Speaker 1 00:18:10 Now what was Ryan Nelson like four years ago when you first met him? Because he is as wor at Whiskey Jam puts it. Like, if Whiskey Jam had a face, it would be Ryan Nelson Nelson's face. Like that, the energy, the grit. Like he just writes the way that he writes and the way like he's the energy in the room. Yeah. He's the man.
Speaker 2 00:18:28 He, uh, hasn't changed a bit, honestly. Yeah, he did.
Speaker 1 00:18:31 He had the long hair
Speaker 2 00:18:32 Back then. Yeah, he had long, he had,
Speaker 1 00:18:33 See I've never, I moved by the time I moved here, he had already cut his hair. Right. So I've never seen him with the long like surfer hair.
Speaker 2 00:18:39 Yeah. It was, I think it was a good decision for him to cut it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:18:41 <laugh>,
Speaker 2 00:18:42 You know, I could never really picture him beforehand what he would look like without it. But I think he's sort of getting his image together now and figuring out. But he was, he was, he was skeptical with writing with me because he had established himself already as a writer and, you know, he'll, he'll tell you. He was like, man, I really didn't wanna write with you that day. And we ended up writing a really cool song and just hit it off. Cuz I mean, he's a country boy at heart too, so. Oh yeah. You know, we had some beers and Yeah. Poked a little spot. <laugh>. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:19:12 Yeah. That, yeah. That's, that's the, when we had, when we had him on our episode, he put Dakota to sleep. Like Dakota. Dakota, Dakota was partying with him. And, and Dakota, who was doing video and photo work for us at the time, passed out on the couch at Tyler's old house. And we recorded. That was a fun episode if people want to go back and listen to that one for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:19:29 That was a crazy one. I think I listened to that. Yeah. Cause I
Speaker 1 00:19:32 Think I was the only sober one in the room that day. Yeah. I, I, I went and worked out Whiskey Row after the Ryan Nelson hang. Yeah. And I was checking IDs all night. The whole night was just kind of fuzzy
Speaker 2 00:19:41 For
Speaker 1 00:19:41 Me, <laugh>, but we got through it. It was a damn good episode. Sounds So that was like four years ago and a lot's happened 40 night. You've been putting out music. You're, you've played a whiskey jammed. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. You're, you're on rounds like all the time and you're one of those names in town. That's really like when people think that that song, that crew right now that's blowing up in Midtown, your name's right in there. So those last couple years lot's happened for you, huh? Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:20:06 Man, it's just been Boss to the wall, honestly. Just, I mean, I write twice a day. Damn. Or try and write twice a day, four days a week at least. That's a lot. Yeah. Just been trying to craft it and sharp, sharpen the edge until there's no denying it.
Speaker 1 00:20:21 Has the artist thing always been in the plan or was it more the writing thing? What's the story behind that?
Speaker 2 00:20:26 No, man, I like to, I wish my parents could understand this cuz I tried to explain it to 'em, but it's just like, okay, <laugh>. But, you know, moving to town, all I wanted to do was write. I just loved the crafting experience and never what considered myself a vocalist. Still don't. Um, but after a while it just came to a point where I just love these songs so much, you know, just certain ones. I was like, man, I really wish I could sing that. So I started to try and sing and I've gotten better since. But, uh, it's almost like I, like anybody can go to a realtor and buy a house and it can be the greatest house you've ever seen in your life. But not everybody can go buy a piece of land and put boards and nails, you know, in something and really make it their own. And I feel like songwriting for me on an artist standpoint is like that.
Speaker 1 00:21:23 That's a good way to put it. So I've never heard it put like that. That's a really like, true way to put
Speaker 2 00:21:27 It. Yeah, I mean it really is. I mean it's, it is, you're building your own craft and you know, I don't, I've, I'm actually cutting a song that I'm, I'm a writer on, um, now just cuz I'm cutting it. Um, but I'm cutting a song this year that I didn't really have any part of writing just cuz I love the song so much. Who,
Speaker 1 00:21:44 Who were the writers on that one?
Speaker 2 00:21:46 Nate Kenyon, Tyler Branch, and another guy, I can't remember, um, his name, but the song's called Leave the Lights on. Nice. And, uh, yeah, so there's, I mean there's definitely instances where, you know, you, you would drive by a house and you'd be like, holy shit, that's cool. Yeah, I want that. But, uh, for the most part, you know, just being the one that crafts it and puts the material and when it comes from, you know, your heart, you
Speaker 1 00:22:09 Just love the stuff, the originality of it. Like where, where it's yours. That's gotta be. Yeah. That's awesome. Right. Fuck yeah. I love, I love that dude. So now talking about more Nashville stuff, you in the hot chicken
Speaker 2 00:22:22 Dude, hon. I mean, I love chicken. I'm not a huge spicy guy. Okay. Ryan Nelson is actually helping me with that though.
Speaker 3 00:22:28 I'm not a Big Spice guy myself, but like I can go do most of the Milds.
Speaker 2 00:22:31 Right. So
Speaker 3 00:22:32 I think Princes and Boltons are the two that I'm just like, you know what? That's those, those
Speaker 1 00:22:35 Aren't for me. Those are, those are the ones that are in the neighborhood. They're in the hood and you go in there and they'll be like, oh, white boy's coming in. We gotta spice up his life a
Speaker 3 00:22:42 Little. Exactly.
Speaker 1 00:22:43 Make that as heard a little bit
Speaker 3 00:22:45 Later. Princess' is just hot. Yeah. Like, I, I don't care who
Speaker 1 00:22:48 You are. That's, that's what the diner uses, right?
Speaker 3 00:22:50 Yeah. Yeah. The last time I ate Princess, I had to ask for a glass of milk. Like on Family will say that. And it was mild
Speaker 1 00:22:57 Big barbecue guy. I'm assuming Bella
Speaker 2 00:22:59 Barbecue. Yeah. I love barbecue Man. Wits and Martin's all. So
Speaker 1 00:23:02 You're a wits guy. Okay. So
Speaker 3 00:23:03 Yeah, see I'm not a wits guy at all.
Speaker 2 00:23:05 I I could I get that though? Yeah, I, I get why people don't like that.
Speaker 3 00:23:08 I I love Martin's as long as, I don't know, my one that I hate the most around here is at least.
Speaker 2 00:23:13 Really? Yeah. I don't hate any of 'em actually. I mean, I, I don't have a problem with any of 'em. Yeah,
Speaker 1 00:23:19 No.
Speaker 3 00:23:19 Just at least consistency isn't there for me
Speaker 2 00:23:21 Really.
Speaker 1 00:23:22 Yeah. If when we're in Statesboro, Georgia, which is I think is gonna be happening in the next month
Speaker 3 00:23:26 Or I think it's March or April,
Speaker 1 00:23:28 March. March or April, where do we gotta go to eat in Statesboro, Georgia? What's South Georgia food? Like what's, what's big with you guys? I know peanuts. You guys have peanut farms and all that shit
Speaker 2 00:23:38 About like, you gotta have some bold peanuts, man. Is what boiled peanuts. Did he talk about that boiled peanuts?
Speaker 3 00:23:43 I don't think he did. No.
Speaker 1 00:23:44 Dude, I've never had boiled peanut. I've never done the peanuts in the, in the bottled coke thing either. I've never done that.
Speaker 2 00:23:49 That's, I mean, that's sort of hit or miss down there. I think that's sort of like some people there. French fries and ice cream <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:23:56 Where do you, where do so boiled peanuts, does that just something you get at like a gas station
Speaker 2 00:24:00 Or? Yeah, normally there's, they'll be at a gas station, but if you can find somebody, sell 'em on the side of the road.
Speaker 3 00:24:05 Those are the good ones.
Speaker 2 00:24:06 Yeah. Go see em. Yeah, go see em. Okay. And that's
Speaker 1 00:24:09 What he's doing.
Speaker 3 00:24:10 Our church used to do like a big peanut boil every year as like a fundraiser type thing.
Speaker 2 00:24:14 They're delicious. They're
Speaker 3 00:24:16 Amazing
Speaker 2 00:24:16 Scrumptious. Yeah. Especially

Speaker 2 00:24:57 We're
Speaker 1 00:24:58 All sitting there chicken tender and corn nuggets.
Speaker 3 00:25:00 We're sitting in the hand with the door open and the ladies from the gas station are like peeking through the window to like watch and eat themselves too.
Speaker 1 00:25:07 I've got, I've got my New York Yankees fitted flat bill on Oh yeah. They know that I'm the damn Yankee. I'm in Mississippi and I, I always get the You ain't from 'em around here are a boy. Yeah, I get that all the time. But chicken gizzards or something, but boiled peanuts. I'm gonna have to try. I've been eating a lot of crawfish lately. Oh heck yeah. Crawfish is freaking good. Shrimp.

Speaker 3 00:25:40 That's like a truck stop. Like Midwest truck stop.
Speaker 1 00:25:42 Casey's is good too, but me being from New York, we got pizza places. Like y'all got
Speaker 2 00:25:46 Barbecue stuff. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1 00:25:47 I grew up with 15 pizza places in my damn hometown. They're all freaking good. So I was like, why would I get pizza at a gas station? And then sure enough, we're on a, we're on, we're heading out to somewhere Bumble, fuck Arkansas. I'm, I'm starving. I'm a little hazy. Been hanging out in the back of the van doing my thing and it's like 3:00 AM we roll in there. I'm like, Ooh. Pizza. And they're like, get it man. Get it. I tried it. Haven't looked back since gas station.

Speaker 1 00:26:10 So for you, do you do a lot, have you started doing a lot with shows and like going out on the road and doing that or? Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:26:14 Dude, I've been trying to book stuff lately. Um, that's the hardest part man. I just need somebody to kinda get me on the road with him. Yeah. Honestly. Okay. Um, been Drew Baldridge and I have been talking about it a little bit. He does a bunch of stuff in the Midwest. He,
Speaker 1 00:26:29 He's a good fucking dude. I met him when I was doing the radio stuff Uhhuh up in Jersey and there was a club I used to help out at, help out at, it was called Maxwell's Tavern. Little Tiny Room in Hoboken, New Jersey where maybe you fit 150 people comfortably. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> that try to put 300 in there. <laugh>. It was like one of those old rock clubs where like Nirvana and those guys would play. But Drew used to come in and play all the time. What a good dude. How'd you, how'd you get connected with him?
Speaker 2 00:26:51 Uh, Laney Wilson. Okay. Introduced me to him. Um, yeah, he's been like a big brother to me ever since. Yeah. Just, you know, guy in hand and we music off of each other all the time and we ride a shit ton now. Yeah. So hopefully gonna have some songs with his this year.
Speaker 1 00:27:09 Oh, that'd be great. So for you as a writer, do you have any cuts that are out there?
Speaker 2 00:27:12 Yeah man. Um, I got three, I got two Trey team songs, three Brass Malden songs, A Noah Hicks cut. Which which Justin Dukes. Which
Speaker 1 00:27:23 Which woman? Noah.
Speaker 2 00:27:25 Uh, what's uh, it ain't Me.
Speaker 1 00:27:28 I fucking love that song. <laugh>. That is one where I'm, I and especially the way that Noah, Noah sing Noah It
Speaker 2 00:27:34 Ain't me.
Speaker 1 00:27:35 He sings so fucking country. Oh yeah. He that he's just a little crazy bastard. He is. And I'm happy he's here. So when did you, when did you meet him? Cause that song's been out for a little while. So
Speaker 2 00:27:44 I met him the day we wrote that song. Him and Dylan. Dylan Marlow wrote his first single, um, raised on the radio. Yeah. And from then on out he was hooked just like the rest of us. And he came up here and I wasn't even supposed to write the song with them that day. I just was there and they're like, Hey, if you wanna, you know, hop on, you can. That's,
Speaker 1 00:28:04 That seems to happen quite a bit. It does. Where it's where people are, where you're just hanging out with your buddies and they have a Right. And they're like, Hey, you wanna get in and Sure.
Speaker 2 00:28:11 For sure. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:28:11 That's awesome. All you freaking Georgia boys, I'm telling you. Yeah. Like you got like there, there really isn't. And it's crazy because you look back on it where you've got guys like Aldean and you've got the Peach Pickers. Right. And you've got Brantley and Cole and just like the, then the list goes on and on and on. Right. And it's like, you guys right now are the next ones to pick up the torch. I hope So. What's it like growing up in Georgia with all the, and and you said the, what's crazy is like you picked up music when you were in Wyoming, right? So for you growing up, were you big in, was country a big influence? Were you like country
Speaker 2 00:28:41 Music and stuff? Oh yeah. I mean I was the, I'm still the biggest Jason Aldean fan. I mean, you go
Speaker 1 00:28:48 Favorite album wide
Speaker 2 00:28:49 Open.
Speaker 1 00:28:49 Okay. Yeah. That's, that's one of, that's one of my favorites too. There was something that, and again, I love the stuff that he's putting out now. He's still crushing it. Yeah. It's, but it's not the same as like Yeah. It's not the same. There's pre and post my kind of party for sure. There's pre and post my kind of party for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:29:04 For sure. Yeah. Him and Brantley obviously. Well, yeah. Since you said that Brantley was one of my biggest influences also just his songwriting is Yeah. Out of this world and Yeah. Heartfelt and stuff, so Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:29:15 And, and it's, but it's just crazy. Yeah. Everybody comes from Georgia and then there's the Carolina guys that are starting to come into show. Yeah, for sure. Which you got guys like, like Andy coming in there. Yep. You've got, of course Luke, you've got on, on the Yeah. Eric, you've got in the writing side guys, like guys that are coming up now, like Jacob Lutz and those dudes. Yep. And then you've got guys like Taylor Phillips who have been here for a minute Yeah. That are writing and, and the Rice brothers and guys that are coming from the Carolinas. So. Right. It's cool, dude. Yeah. And me being a New Yorker, it's just cool to soak it all up and see how it all, how it all goes on. It's
Speaker 2 00:29:45 A lot of politicking.
Speaker 1 00:29:46 There is a lot of that shit that goes on. That's something that drives me nuts. It is. There is, yeah. Is getting to getting to know people. But what seems to be cool about this kind of group that's coming up now, it seems like it's a lot of buddies that are writing with buddies. It is. Whether it's guys or girls or whatever. You're putting out music with your friends and now it's like the label side of things that's starting to shift. Yep. And it's not hard to get your music out
Speaker 2 00:30:08 There. No. It's very easy
Speaker 1 00:30:09 And good. Music's gonna make it to a listener.
Speaker 2 00:30:11 Exactly.
Speaker 1 00:30:12 So, which makes it a lot better for, for y'all out there that are putting out real shit. Like Ryan Nelson will put for example, his music. I fucking
Speaker 2 00:30:19 That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 00:30:20 I love it. And it live show is great and it's like, it's not necessarily traditional radio friendly, but people are still finding it. Right. And there's people in Buffalo, New York that have him come up and play a show. Yep. He's a kid from Florida. What the fuck's he doing at Buffalo?
Speaker 2 00:30:34 Right.
Speaker 1 00:30:34 He's, it's so cool.
Speaker 2 00:30:35 He's the whole package. I hope, I pray that, you know, his career works out. Yeah. He deserves it. He's a great songwriter, great performer. He just needs somebody to slap him on the ass and be All right.
Speaker 1 00:30:49 Come
Speaker 2 00:30:49 On, come on now.
Speaker 1 00:30:51 Absolutely. So
Speaker 2 00:30:52 It's 11 o'clock, we gotta wake up. We know you had a long night.
Speaker 1 00:30:56 Hey, I gotta do that here with my guys. So trust me, I I understand
Speaker 3 00:31:00 That. I, we just had a month off and then literally for me, I got into habit of going to bed at four or 5:00 AM maybe even 6:00 AM and Jesus waking up at, you know, 1, 2, 3 o'clock in the afternoon. But like, I was also working night shift, it'll do it too at a bar. So I was, wasn't getting off till 3:00 AM.
Speaker 2 00:31:16 Right, that's understandable.
Speaker 3 00:31:17 Yeah. But still, it got to the point where it went from one night a week to now it's every night. And then this last I think five days I've had to be up almost at like 7:00 AM every morning. It's been, uh, been a rough change. Yeah. But
Speaker 2 00:31:29 It's happened.
Speaker 1 00:31:30 So now, so now for you, have you had gigs where you've had to work in town that are non-music related?
Speaker 2 00:31:36 That I've had to work?
Speaker 1 00:31:37 Yeah. Like jobs in
Speaker 2 00:31:38 Nashville and stuff? Oh yeah, yeah, for sure. I've drove the John Deere tractor on Broadway for two years.
Speaker 1 00:31:43 Oh.
Speaker 2 00:31:43 So that, and I'm about to start doing it again this weekend
Speaker 1 00:31:45 With, with Chad, right? Yep. Chad does that, that which we've had Chad on the show, on the podcast too, and another awesome, awesome guy. Oh yeah. Another guy that's a rancher too, huh? Yep.
Speaker 2 00:31:55 Yep. Florida Rancher Homestead Florida.
Speaker 1 00:31:57 Which who would've, that's way south, right?
Speaker 2 00:32:00 God almighty. It's way down there, dude.
Speaker 1 00:32:02 Have you been down there before?
Speaker 2 00:32:03 Yeah, I, I, we, uh, I drove down to Key West in 2017 from Nashville, which was a horrible idea. Where,
Speaker 1 00:32:13 How long of a drive is that? Cause you all the traffic and all the bullshit with that too. So
Speaker 3 00:32:17 At least 18 hours,
Speaker 2 00:32:17 Right? Yeah, it was close. It was close to 20 hours I think. And yeah. Jeez.
Speaker 3 00:32:21 We used to have to go down to a camp. I toured in the Christian world with a band and we used to go to a summer camp down in Lake Placid. Yeah. Which is like southern, like, it's basically like if you take Miami and go west to the center of the
Speaker 2 00:32:33 State. Gotcha. Okay. And
Speaker 3 00:32:35 Yeah, it
Speaker 2 00:32:36 Was, it's a long haul.
Speaker 3 00:32:37 Yeah. Especially, well at least were you do this by yourself.
Speaker 2 00:32:41 I had a buddy with me. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:32:43 Like you and a buddy. Like it's, it's doable. But we had seven people on a bus, so, you know, nobody's bladders can never sink up <laugh>. Oh my
Speaker 2 00:32:50 Gosh. I bet not. I didn't, I never would've thought of that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:32:54 But so, so you've done the tractor thing, but like, have you been able to, have you had to like, work on Broadway and like do that circuit at all?
Speaker 2 00:33:02 No, no. I, I'm just now getting to the point where I'm, I I don't like singing for four hours. I barely can. I mean, I, I can pull two pretty easily, but anything after that man, like Andy Austin, he has no problem doing it. Yeah. He's just got the voice of an angel can wake up at 3:00 AM and be like, Hey, sing this song and he'll sing it. Perfect. But I'm not one of those people that's blessed with, you know, that kind of vocal melody.
Speaker 1 00:33:27 But it's, it's something that can help with the vocal, but it's something that they can build. Yeah. Can build it up. But there's, but there's something to where people where, where like if you become like a Broadway guy or girl, you people get stuck there. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. There's that, there's that stigma that comes with it too. Yeah. Where you gotta kind of be careful. It's crazy how this town works, isn't it?
Speaker 2 00:33:43 It is, man. It's like a freaking Rubik's cube.
Speaker 1 00:33:46 Yeah. And it's like we're in our own little bubble with what's going on with the rest of the world. Like
Speaker 2 00:33:50 Yeah. Nobody, whether
Speaker 1 00:33:51 It's politics or this or that. I can't even keep, like, the only thing I keep really track of outside of here is, is Yankees baseball. Right. And that's about it. And that's even hard to do.
Speaker 3 00:33:59 I don't know why you would do that. <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:34:01 Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:34:01 Yeah. Are you a big sports guy?
Speaker 2 00:34:03 I used to be before, before I moved to Wyoming I was, I played soccer and football and baseball and when I moved out there and I really didn't keep up with it cause I was on a horse all the time. Yeah. And doing music. But I mean, I'm a, I love u UGA sports and you know, I could say I'm definitely a Braves fan. Um, yep.
Speaker 1 00:34:23 <laugh>, that's what Bore is too. Oh yeah. Bore. And Andy always gives me shit too. Like the Braves will make the littlest big mo like the littlest move. And Andy you'll be like, oh, they're gonna be good this year. Oh they're gonna be good. Yep. I'm like, they ain't gonna be as good as Garrett Cole and my Yankees this
Speaker 2 00:34:35 Year,
Speaker 1 00:34:35 Man. We got, if we don't win the World Series, it's gonna be bad.
Speaker 3 00:34:38 300 plus million dollars shouldn't be that good either though.
Speaker 1 00:34:41 Yeah, right.
Speaker 2 00:34:41 There you go. Yeah. They got the biggest budget. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:34:44 U UGA football. How, how do you think they're gonna, do you follow 'em that closely where, you know, how they'll, how they'll be next year or? I mean
Speaker 2 00:34:50 It's, I think, I think they'll do good man. I mean, you know, Kirby's done a good job. Um,
Speaker 1 00:34:55 Y'all just can't beat the teams you need to beat to make it to the final.
Speaker 2 00:34:59 We've been really good every year since Kirby Yeah. Have been really, there's always been a team that's just freaking great.
Speaker 1 00:35:04 Whether it's Bama or lsu. Yeah. <laugh>. Which I mean those, those two teams one
Speaker 3 00:35:10 Year it was Kentucky.
Speaker 1 00:35:11 Yeah. One year it was Kentucky. One year. They were freaking great. That's right. They had, they had, um, who was it? I think his name. I think it was like Jared Allen. No, not Jared Allen. They had the,
Speaker 3 00:35:20 It
Speaker 1 00:35:20 Was Allen. It was Allen. Yeah. The defensive end or whatever. They
Speaker 3 00:35:22 Also had a good quarterback that year that was But they had a solid defense. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:35:27 Which was
Speaker 3 00:35:27 What
Speaker 1 00:35:28 Kept them. Yeah. But Georgia football's a big deal,

Speaker 2 00:37:08 It's, it's a, it's a beast of its own. It's like Broadway here.
Speaker 1 00:37:11 Yeah. Lot of, lot of, lot of beautiful women. Them Georgia Peaches. Yep. Very real. I can see why a lot of you guys like, like, like to try to stay in Georgia for sure. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Um, and it's just a fun college town.
Speaker 2 00:37:22 It is man.
Speaker 1 00:37:23 And there's a lot, the SEC's got a lot of those cool college towns and stuff. So They do. So for you, is that, is that a market you're trying to get into is playing those college bars and kind of growing and doing that?
Speaker 2 00:37:32 Honestly, I feel like, uh, if I would've started earlier when I was in college, that would've been ideal. I mean, I'll take anything I can get right now obviously, but with the Peach Tree guys, they sort of have a monopoly on that. Yeah. So just, if I could get my foot in the door with them, that'd be great. And I would, you know. Yeah. But just taking all, all the bones people throw me.
Speaker 1 00:37:54 Yeah. Yeah. So for 2020 now, so you put out some music in 2019 big year writing mm-hmm. <affirmative> of growth and all that. What's 2020 got for you? What do you in store?
Speaker 2 00:38:04 I actually just got a mix back on the way over here from my buddy Nick Gibbons. He's producing four songs. Oh no.
Speaker 1 00:38:09 No. Shit. I know Nick. That's,
Speaker 2 00:38:10 Yeah, he's awesome
Speaker 1 00:38:11 At Nick. I think that, I think that's who Ethan's Yeah. That's Ruckus, right? Yep. R
Speaker 2 00:38:14 Right.
Speaker 1 00:38:14 Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. That's a good spot to record. They know, they know what they're doing. They
Speaker 2 00:38:17 Do man. They do. They, they've helped me out a lot. Actually put my first song out last year and it was kissing me like that. Yep. And they did a raffle at the Ruckus room that you entered on uh, Instagram and they pulled a name out of the hat to or for a free song recording and I won it. And so they did a song for me for free and I probably never would've gone in and recorded stuff on my own if I wouldn't have done that. So Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:38:45 Everything happens for a reason.
Speaker 2 00:38:47 I think so, man. Hell yeah. Yeah. It was cool. Shit. So
Speaker 1 00:38:49 You got, so you got the mix back today? So Yeah, I got
