♪ (rock music continues) (rock music ends) - I quit my job in 2019 to do this full time.
And then right after that, you know, Covid happened I sold my pickup, to pay off the band vehicle and Covid hit, and I had to live off that.
So that sucked.
So coming back and getting to play and make money is amazing.
- People are ready for.
- Yeah - Yeah.
(crosstalk) - They're ready to go out and have a good time.
- So happy to be outta the house.
Let's love it.
It's the best thing.
- It's a cool feeling.
That is wicked.
- Surreal.
- Yeah, we just played in Houston last weekend with our friend Cole Barnhill.
Like we're his band and he's the singer of that band.
And it's just so cool cause they actually like, you know, our style like rock and roll, more rock instead of country, you know - To the point of like shouting your own lyrics back at you.
Yeah, it's, it's cool.
- It's cool.
It's fun time.
- Yeah, it was really awesome.
Felt really good to hear that.

There we have our first one, our debut one what's called Dog Ear, and the last one was called Lies and Misunderstandings I think we have a few other songs that are ready.
I don't know when we'll record them or not but I think we're gonna do mostly singles.
Like, you know, you can spend a little more time on one song and make it really good.
You know, especially with the, the composing and the producing and all that stuff, you can take a little more, little bit more time with it and really get what you want.
Instead of doing 12 songs in five days and you don't really get the time to do what you want with it.
- I feel like it gives more people time to chew on things too.
Like if you release a handful of songs at a time like you get, you get more time to sit there with it and enjoy it and flesh it out and see what you think.
Versus if you drop 12 songs like if you're already an established artist, and sure that's great, but it's like if you're trying to get there you release 'em a little at a time.
And I, I think that's pretty beneficial.
(guitar tones playing) - This next song is called Dry.
I wrote this one for my Grandfather.
♪ The river's wrong, and I'm dry ♪ ♪ And I think everything's gonna die ♪ (rock music continues) ♪ ♪ Wouldn't mind some post in blue ♪ ♪ How will I survive (rock music continues) ♪ Mom holds a gold out and ♪ Bitch middle finger on the trigger ♪ ♪ Yeah you bet she gotten ill so she's ♪ ♪ Deadly and it knows ♪ Its got a target on me (rock music continues) ♪ What did I do ♪ That made you so mad at your food?
♪ (rock music continues) ♪ 'cause I can't see ♪ Why you wanna take this from me ♪ (rock music continues) ♪ Mom holds a gold out and ♪ Bitch middle finger on the trigger ♪ ♪ Yeah you bet she gotten ill so she's ♪ ♪ Deadly and it knows ♪ Its got a target on me (rock music continues) (rock music ends) - I think it was like back in fourth grade me and this guy met in Hugoton, Kansas and he's the only other guy that played music besides me, like, you know, guitar, drums, bass type of music.
And he's the drummer.
I'd always go over to his house after school we'd jam in the basement and play a lot of ACDC.
One time after we jammed for quite a while, we both came to each other and we had the same idea in our head.
Like, man, we gotta learn some other songs than ACDC - Just Back and Black just repeated - Every day that, you know Highway to Hell album.
Most of that.
I met him at an Open Jam at the Spoon and that's how I met him.
Calvin.
First time I met him I was playing in another band playing lead guitar for another band.
He just came and jammed with us at a gig at the Spoon too as well.
- Hell yeah All he brought was an amp, a guitar, and a quarter inch.
And I was like, I had a pedal or full of like 10 pedals and I was like, man, I suck.
