00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:01.320
Hello, Hi, is this Stephen?
2
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:03.120
Yeah? So how you're doing?
3
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:04.320
Doing very well? How about you?
4
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:08.039
Ann good man? I appreciate you giving me a call.
5
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:09.240
I thank you for it.
6
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:11.880
I didn't want to risk calling and interrupt you when
7
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:13.359
you weren't getting set up or anything.
8
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:15.960
She forgot to give me your phone number, so I'm
9
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:17.239
sitting here going he's gonna call me, right?
10
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:20.760
Sorry? Man.
11
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:23.039
I spoke with her yesterday about it, and I was like, hey,
12
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:26.079
I better check whether I'm supposed to call or not,
13
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:30.320
because I just had this horrible idea of calling and you,
14
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:32.079
you know, I figured you'd be set up, but I
15
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:34.679
didn't want to risk, you know, interrupting and you'd be
16
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.280
like like getting set up and everything. So I was like,
17
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:39.280
when I've been doing doom stuff, you know, you go
18
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:41.679
into that little waiting room or whatever, and I'm like, okay,
19
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:44.079
that's so. That's so I was like, shit, I better
20
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:46.159
find out what I'm supposed to do. And then, yeah,
21
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.679
I guess having my number was probably useful for you.
22
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:50.439
Sorry about that.
23
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:55.119
That's cool, But why I saw you not try and
24
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:57.359
run my mouth too much already, but I saw you're.
25
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.520
In a solid area code.
26
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.759
You're not Carolina I am right here in Charlotte, North Carolina.
27
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.400
Man, I moved from England to North Carolina.
28
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:11.799
Wow, so like Charlotte and Marsville is my second home.
29
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.760
That is up there by Lake Wiley.
30
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.640
Yeah, Morsville. You know where?
31
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.560
Do you know where the Lowe's Home Improvement?
32
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.120
Sure I do, yes, Yes, I do.
33
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:25.680
Yeah. I used to.
34
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.000
When I first moved to the US, I worked for
35
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.680
Lowe's Culport in North Carolina, and I used to I
36
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.719
used to play aim Miss South End and Charlotte.
37
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.680
I used to play. Yeah, I used to play all
38
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.799
around there. Man, that is home. Wow.
39
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.239
That's where Hoodi and the Blowfish got their start as
40
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:45.560
well and when and they joke around about that, saying
41
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:47.280
it's the only place that they've ever played where they
42
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.840
could order a beer while play in the drums.
43
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.640
Man, I played as South End. That was the first
44
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.439
short time, very short time. It was Ams on the Lake,
45
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:00.760
which they opened up in Lake Norman and well yep,
46
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.040
and a bunch of places down in South Carolina as well.
47
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.000
But yeah, I lived in North Carolina for years. So
48
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.199
when I saw seven O four as your area code,
49
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.240
I was like, oh that number.
50
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:15.879
Yeah, I'm here in the Valentine area. I don't know
51
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:17.680
if Valentine was even created when you were here.
52
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:23.120
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's been it's been a while since
53
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:24.919
I lived there, but yeah, it was.
54
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:26.759
It was the actually I moved.
55
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:30.639
I moved from North Carolina in twenty twelve to LA
56
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.360
but I was in North Carolina for.
57
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:33.639
Like eight years. Wow.
58
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:38.680
And yeah, so I pretty much like was like eighteen
59
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.400
onwards in North Carolina, So I kind of grew up there.
60
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.080
So I'm jealous that you're a lot closer to those angles.
61
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:46.159
Than I am.
62
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.360
Charlotte is now number fourteen when it comes to the
63
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:55.000
largest cities in the country. I mean, it has exploded, dude.
64
00:02:56.199 --> 00:03:00.479
Really yeah, that's crazy because well that's one of the
65
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.479
things I never minded actually was flying through Charlotte Douglas.
66
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.680
Yes, sus getting busy and that's gonna get worse.
67
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:09.159
Yeah, yeah, number number three in the nation. The Charlotte
68
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:13.879
Douglas says. Now wow, really yeah, it's it's huge, dude,
69
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:14.879
It's huge.
70
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.199
That's crazy because back then it was like when I
71
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.680
first moved there, it was it was still a small airport.
72
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.919
It was the only well smallest anyway, it was still
73
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.520
the like one of the only places that flew direct
74
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.039
from the East coast to the airport that I used
75
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.319
flying out of an England direct that any stops.
76
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.520
So that's it's so crazy to that's.
77
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.240
Your collection of music is mind blowing. I mean there
78
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.680
there are. You really do set up the summer with
79
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:44.680
a great soundtrack.
80
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:46.080
I hope.
81
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:52.000
So, I mean, yeah, you take a song like move On,
82
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.280
moving On, and this right here to me is a
83
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.759
power ballad. This is the one that adult contemporary radio
84
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:57.639
is going to jump.
85
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.319
On, man, I I hope.
86
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:05.879
So that's that song is my baby, that's I Actually
87
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:08.080
I wrote that when I left North Carolina. That was
88
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.319
the whole point of it. Originally it was just stuff
89
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.120
going on. And when I when I moved from North
90
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.199
Carolina to LA, moving On was born. I wrote that
91
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:19.240
when I was quitting my band.
92
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.920
And moving out to LA. So that it all connects
93
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:24.839
back to North Carolina finally enough.
94
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.759
Now was the trip to LA? Would to move out there?
95
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:26.959
Was that?
96
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:28.519
Just to get closer to the music scene.
97
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:33.040
Yeah, yeah, I've been I've been playing in uh in
98
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:37.120
a band based out of actually out of Virginia initially.
99
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:41.040
And had done that for like two three years.
100
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.639
At that point, and it had probably gone like as
101
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.360
far as I could in that you know, I'd been
102
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.639
playing some some pretty big gigs and we'd been touring
103
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.959
you know, full time, uh, you know, for a few years.
104
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.519
And so then it was like, well, I guess I'll
105
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:59.720
do the stereotypical thing and and go to one of
106
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:01.519
the big of cities and and and see if I
107
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.279
can do any of the stuff that I've always wanted
108
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:05.639
to do. And it was do I want to go
109
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.879
to Nashville or do I go to LA? And you know,
110
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.959
the thing was, you know it actually the funny thing
111
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:16.480
was my my drama in that band, or I should
112
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:18.079
say actually technically he wasn't my drummer.
113
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:18.759
He was the drummer.
114
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:20.879
Right as I was joining the band, he was leaving
115
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.040
and he went to Nashville. So I was like, well,
116
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.240
I don't want to do the exact same thing as him,
117
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:27.920
so she's gotta went off.
118
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.839
To LA instead. So yeah, that was it was.
119
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:32.560
It was a musical thing, and it was it was.
120
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.879
It was a strange adventure, but it was I guess
121
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.199
some stuff has come from it, so that's okay.
122
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:40.800
Well, a lot of great music has come from that
123
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:42.279
movie with that movie, because I mean, look at what
124
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:44.399
you're doing here with even the song. Look at the clowns.
125
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.480
I mean, you embraced those guitars with this song, and
126
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:49.639
then you add all that beautiful harmony in there.
127
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.639
Yeah, you know, that's one of my actually my favorite
128
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.399
part of that song is is the vocal harmonies in
129
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:01.199
those choruses in that song absolutely awesome. Eric knocked that
130
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.600
song out of the park. We sat down and we
131
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.600
wrote that and it was I think that was like
132
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.120
one of the last songs that I wrote for the record,
133
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:14.639
and I kind of less, you know, I gave I
134
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.839
give the song to Eric and then be like, all right,
135
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.600
do you know, do what you want with him.
136
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.120
We'll kind of go from there. And when he sent those.
137
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.439
Vocal harmedies back, I was like, man, that's such a
138
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.800
nice counter to like how big those guitars are in
139
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:28.279
that song.
140
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.439
It was it was really cool to hear It's.
141
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.000
Been a long time since I've heard guitar is that
142
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.079
loud and and that proud, because I mean, you know,
143
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:35.759
I mean there for the while we were going through
144
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:37.959
this electronic moment again here in this country. But now
145
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.839
when you're hearing that real guitar doing its thing, man,
146
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.560
that's harmony for the heart.
147
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:44.319
Man, I hope. So.
148
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.600
I guess that's gonna be down a lot other people think,
149
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.160
but for me, you know, it's like that's just what
150
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.079
I always wanted to do. It's what I've always done
151
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.319
in terms of how I wrote songs, and it was
152
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:59.519
nice just with this record to do what I've always
153
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.480
kind of heard in my head for I want to
154
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.079
things to sound like And you know, it's going to
155
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.199
be interesting to see what everyone else thinks of it,
156
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:11.879
but I think that there's honesty in those guitarsks that's
157
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:13.519
just coming directly from me.
158
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.399
That song Made to Last This is. I would love
159
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.319
to follow the research on this song right here because
160
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:21.800
I think it's a game changer for new rock radio stations.
161
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:23.480
This right here is going to open up a door.
162
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:25.160
Oh nothing.
163
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.560
To make the Last is that's a song that you know,
164
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:34.279
i'd actually I started writing that in like twenty sixteen,
165
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:37.839
come up with Yeah. I came up with the riff
166
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.040
and everything on that and pretty much had a version
167
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:44.439
of it written years ago, and like there was numerous
168
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:48.680
demo versions done different things, different vocal like, different words,
169
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:54.560
and so when we had the chance to do this record.
170
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:56.839
That was the very first song that we did. I
171
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:02.600
sent that to to Billionaire initially and was like, listen,
172
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:06.240
I've got this this song. I want to see how
173
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.839
it comes out. We we, you know, kind of would
174
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.279
we be down to do this. And so we did
175
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.759
that song with drum tracks that I'd done previously on
176
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.680
a demo version with Michael Chris Reeve, who's the I
177
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:23.720
think right now he's the drummer for avol Levine. Funny enough,
178
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:27.519
and and so we did this this version of it
179
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.800
and it came out really good. And so that led
180
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:34.919
onto a separate song, which was when when Reaga involved.
181
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.399
So we then went back and did Nothing's Made to
182
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.639
Last again, and we redid the drums and basically redid
183
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:41.799
all of the music.
184
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.720
Once we had raised drums on it.
185
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:49.120
So that song's been through a lot of different versions
186
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.360
to get to where it is now. So it's it's
187
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:56.360
nice to have that one put together and making sense finally.
188
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.080
And and and actually.
189
00:08:57.679 --> 00:08:59.320
That was that was the first one we put out
190
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.440
and a really good response, which was which was nice
191
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:06.279
because it was a case of dipping my toe into
192
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.120
war and seeing what everyone was gonna start thinking of
193
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:08.600
this stuff.
194
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:11.399
See it's stories like that that listeners want. They just
195
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:13.120
don't know how to get it. And and to to
196
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:14.759
be able to you know, break down the music like
197
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.039
we're doing and to get the real story of how
198
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:18.440
we got to this place called now.
199
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:24.879
Yeah, and there is like all of these songs, I know,
200
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.000
I know every song right, it has you know, stories
201
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.879
behind everything. So it's it's not like I'm reinventing the
202
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.799
wheel here or anything, but you know, these songs in
203
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:40.440
some formal fashion had been with me through a lot
204
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:44.519
of iterations to get to where we're at now, just
205
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.120
because there was in my case, there was a lot
206
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.320
of stuff starts and nearly happens but didn't quite happen,
207
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:55.000
and things along those lines. So getting them to where
208
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:58.840
you know they are in finished form has been a
209
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.799
long road, but and it feels good to have these
210
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:02.360
things done.
211
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.399
Please do not move. There's more with Stephen Chesney coming
212
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.159
up next. Hey, thanks for coming back to my conversation
213
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:12.600
with singer songwriter Steven Chesney. So were you channeling Eddie
214
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:14.440
van Halen with the song Hat on a Hat?
215
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.159
I don't know if I want to put myself next
216
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:23.679
to that. I don't know how comfortable I am saying
217
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:26.559
anything like that, so we can definitely say that it
218
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:26.919
was my.
219
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.080
Ode to to Eddie and Eddie.
220
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:35.559
And Steve Vai because I wanted to do something that
221
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:37.639
if nothing else.
222
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:39.200
When I was writing the record, I was like, Okay,
223
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:39.840
I don't want.
224
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.919
To do a big, just just nudley guitar thing, because
225
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:46.759
there are there are people that can do that better
226
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:49.320
than me. So it's like, but I wanted to do
227
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.399
one song like that. I had to have one that
228
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.240
would like, you know, my guitar song. And you know,
229
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:59.639
I grew up with half a teacher and shy boy
230
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.320
and addicted to that rush by mister Big.
231
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:03.960
And so when I.
232
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.799
Had you know, Billy playing on these songs. This is
233
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:08.519
the second song we did. This is the one where
234
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:14.080
Rey got involved. And I was like, well, shoot, I've
235
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.679
got Ray Lucier and Billy Shean.
236
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:17.120
Working on this.
237
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.799
Now I got to do something like that. So I
238
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:25.200
sat down and I had there's actually a long story
239
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:29.679
behind that too, to wear. That song nearly happened back
240
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.840
in I think it was twenty sixteen or twenty seventeen.
241
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:35.440
I had written it and demoed it and I was
242
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.440
going to record it with Billy and Greg Bissonette from
243
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:44.639
David E. Ross Eatman Smile Band, and that didn't happen.
244
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:46.840
It fell apart like right when it was going to happen.
245
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.200
So I'd had that laying around for a while. And
246
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:54.399
when I when I originally wrote it, the joking like
247
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.559
demo name because it wasn't how and I had at
248
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.879
that point was addicted to that hot shy teacher because
249
00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:02.279
I like, shit, I've got to do a dedication to
250
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:03.440
all of these songs.
251
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.200
I'm like, I don't have a name for it yet,
252
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:06.519
so I'm just gonna call it that.
253
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.000
So I knew I wasn't gonna stay that way, but
254
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.120
it was like, yeah, this song is supposed to be
255
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:16.639
my ode to those tunes that I loved and always,
256
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:19.240
you know, I wish I could have written something like it.
257
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:20.399
So I was like, well, I'll give it a go,
258
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:21.759
and that's what we ended up with.
259
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.840
My interpretation of the song when You're falling apart inside
260
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:28.960
my heart. I kept telling myself, you wrote the lyrics first,
261
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:35.120
then the instrumentation came out, because those lyrics are spot on, dude, that.
262
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.960
Song is you know, It's another one that went through
263
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:40.919
a lot of different versions to get to where it is.
264
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.600
So in a lot of respects, you're right, because.
265
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:48.799
The words existed to a version of that song that
266
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:57.559
I completely rewrote. So the lyrics were kind of what
267
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:02.960
led the music in the direction it was going. And
268
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.840
I'm a big even though it's not as guitar rhythm
269
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:10.720
it is, but it's not. I'm a big Oasis fan.
270
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:13.519
And one of the things that they always did was
271
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.080
just the some of the A and A CG stuff
272
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.000
that they were doing there and the choruses and the
273
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.759
three choruses. I always wanted to have something that like
274
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:25.720
that I could do along those lines that would be
275
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:28.480
simple but effective, but then combine it more with with
276
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:32.679
how I write, and so with with those words, it
277
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:37.440
was it was a song that those words fit where
278
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.679
I wanted that to go in my head with an
279
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:42.200
idea I had musically. So yeah, I think the word
280
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.559
I kind of I'm talking myself in circles on that one,
281
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.080
and I'm not trying to, but it's like, yeah, the words,
282
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.879
the words were there first, and it did guide the
283
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:51.879
music on that one.
284
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.720
Wow, where can people go to find out more about
285
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.840
you your entire career and get these songs onto their
286
00:13:58.879 --> 00:13:59.919
Spotify list.
287
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:04.399
It's gonna be either Stephen Chesney dot com or Agents
288
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:08.200
of your Demize dot com. If you look on Spotify,
289
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:11.879
it's Stephen Chesney for my my solo stuff, but it's
290
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:14.759
under Ages of your de Maize if you're looking for
291
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:19.240
you know, the what's coming now and the obviously that's
292
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:22.159
the most important thing, and those songs right now, the
293
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.279
first two they're out and nothing's made to last and
294
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:29.159
Sick Sick Existence. The record is going to be out
295
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:31.600
probably in the next I would say four to six
296
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.200
weeks now, maybe less, but that's kind of, you know,
297
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:37.159
a fluid thing.
298
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:38.840
It's gonna be announced pretty soon.
299
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:40.600
It's I've been saying that for a little bit, but
300
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.039
it's all done and getting ready to go. So if
301
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:45.679
you find me on social media Stephen Chersney or Stephen
302
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:49.720
Chessney Music on Instagram and I can you.
303
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.720
Know, that's where I'm keeping it. One of today on
304
00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:52.840
What's going on? Wow.
305
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:55.639
I wanted to tell you earlier in the conversation that
306
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:58.360
Charlotte has grown so much in the way that Harris
307
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:00.679
Teeterstoers feature live music on Thursdays.
308
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.720
Now, you know what's funny about that is a good
309
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.960
friend of mine actually plays those.
310
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:07.840
Yeah.
311
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:12.080
One of it was the first year I moved to
312
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:16.559
North Carolina. I was playing at a festival in a
313
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.720
little town called Elkin, North Carolina. Yes, yep, and uh,
314
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:25.879
Trip Rodgers was playing. He was opening before we went
315
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:30.480
on and uh serious shit. We reconnected that like maybe
316
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.519
a year a year ago or so, and I've seen
317
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:36.080
he's actually playing it though, so I know exactly what
318
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:40.080
you're talking about. His name is Trent Trip Trip Rogers.
319
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:40.679
Wow.
320
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:42.759
Yeah, I'm gonna have to keep my eye wide open
321
00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:44.600
for him then, because when he comes walking through our store,
322
00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:45.679
I just I just want to go up there and
323
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.200
just you know, and say I know more about you now, dude.
324
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:49.840
Yeah.
325
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:52.039
Man, that's what I've seen him doing. I was like,
326
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:53.600
that's a really cool idea.
327
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:56.240
There's a lot of things instilled in North Carolina now
328
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:57.799
that I see, and I'm like, God, that place has
329
00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:58.399
changed as.
330
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:00.240
Well.
331
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:02.120
You've got to come back to this show anytime in
332
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:03.840
the future. The door is always going to be open
333
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:04.159
for you.
334
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:07.759
Hey man, I appreciate that, and I appreciate you having
335
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:08.000
me on.
336
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:13.679
I think it's a it's a it's a real pleasure
337
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:15.279
for me to actually get to talk about this stuff
338
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:17.559
and to have you interested in wanting to hear it
339
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:17.919
about it.
340
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:19.080
So thank you very much.
341
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:20.440
