Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey, you love done too.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yes, that's true. Wow for you young.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe
Man W four c Y Radio and I'm.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Here with Sully Nice.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
You're a bourbon and beyond.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Could be better. Man, What a great place to say.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I know it's a coolie, so.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Good and not just the artists here, but the whole
Danny Wimmer just does an unbelievable job out here and
it's insanity in terms of the organization he puts through here,
and it was just so friction free.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
As an artist it was.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
That's why why I hear how the artists are treated
by Danny Wimmer.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yeah, I'm the best I've ever seen in all the
years I've been doing this, and I'll tell you he's
got it figured out. And as you can see it,
there isn't a single speed bump out there and they're
not getting in their own way, which is the best part.
Even down to the yellow jackets outside, everybody's just fantastic.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
It's such a good, good event.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I love hearing that because if you're a band performing
at a festival, you're not using your own sound crew.
You're not using your own crew for most anything and
you want to be as stress free as possible, which
normally is not the case.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Well, yeahah, they also want to put on the best
show you can for the people. I mean, let's think said,
we're San Diego band, come from California. For us to
come out here and see people singing our words back
to us is I think we owe them the best
show we can give them.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
And you're right.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
When it's friction free and we come out here, it's fantastic.
And I'll tell you the whole city of Louisville, the fans,
Danny himself, the bourbon beyond staff, just even the backstage guys,
even the road dogs. Unbelievable, so good stuff, Like I
couldn't give it a higher mark.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I knew it was going to be great because we've
never played here before, but I had no idea it
was going to be. Like I was a fan here.
I was almost got a Marguerite and sat in the
front while I was singing because it was.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Just so cool.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Oh that's so cool.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
And then is it blow your mind when you're playing
that early festival, in the beginning festival and there's that
many people.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah, it was good.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
You know, we knew, you know, we're I started writing
music many many years ago, but I kind of started
going commercial when I started writing with Rome Sublime with
Rome last year and we released a number of songs.
A few of them got pretty good views in terms
of Apple Music and Spotify and Sutch got a little
radio play and such like that. But then got together
with John Feldman from from Goldfinger and alvl Lavine fame
(02:31):
and started writing with him. And next thing, you know,
we have a pile of people every day watching.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
And listening to what we're doing. And you come out here.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
It's like, wait a second, We're twenty five hundred miles
away from home.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
What are we doing here? I mean we surfed yesterday morning.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I love that John a surfer.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yeah, And it's completely I just come that. We come
out here and the people may be different, you guys
drive slower, but other than that, it was the love
of the same. Music was just was It was infectious
for us. On stage, it was so good. I got
into it almost immediately.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
See, that makes the experience.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
It's that much better because if the band's game into it,
then you get just so much more into Well.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I look down at the set list and I realized, Shit,
we're seven songs in. We only got two to go.
I didn't realize. I looked, we wived up here for
five minutes.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
It wasn't the case. I realized it was love that
can't wait to come back here. If we get invite
it back, we're definitely here.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
All right. I love it, And so let's talk about
you just dropped. Well.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I got the impression that you just dropped that cool
ship that song.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And I listened to.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
It, and I was like, fucking a, that's good, and
it's hard to say that way.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Cover.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Well, listen, we knew we had to do a cover.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
I spent many years in talk radio in southern California
and number one guy in Afternoon Drive and my rejoiner music,
my bumper music was was Mighty Mighty Bostones.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Impressed that I got.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
And there's a couple there's a couple of places you
can hit the post ride the faders are coming in
and when the when I was with the label talking
about and I said, we got to do impression that
I got, But I said we can make it our
own because I got the same growl that he's got,
that Dicky Bear's got. But we'll make it our own.
We make it sound like a party, which we did.
And then the best part of it was, as we're
doing this, we're talking about shooting a video.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I said to them, what about the very end of
the video? You saw a set of hands.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
They're watching the video on an iPhone and it pans
back and it's Dicky Barrett and he thumbs up, Well,
he'd love to watch the video on Fine, if we
got if we pull that off.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Oh my god, that's so cool. And so what else
you got going on? After Bourban Beyond?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
So we've got we head to Las Vegas to play
with gold Finger, John Fellman's band Nice. We've got a
song called Seasons that I wrote with Rome. It's dropping
in about four weeks. It's gonna be in Tyler Perry's
next Christmas movie, Wow comes out.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
We kind of gear up. We got enough music to
take us through twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
We'll be dropping singles every month and playing about more
and more.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
How does it feel to be on the other side
of the mic?
Speaker 4 (04:44):
I was in media so long and being in a
band was an avocation, and as you know better than anybody,
you get to be a big fish a little pond,
and everybody knows who you are, but you can't get
arrested outside of that city. Sometimes that's what I'm with
our band. I couldn't figure out if our band was
good because I was popular on air, or if it
was good because it was good. And as I said
a number of times, big validation for us to come
(05:05):
out here and see people singing songs back to us
twenty five hundred miles away.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Who never heard your radio show pro ever, no, ever.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
That has no idea that many of the people I
say that to you have no ideas in media for
a long time. So yeah, it's surreal. It's highly unimpressive
what's going on backstage. When people look at what's going
to the.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Music business, it seems like it's so glamorous. Let me
tell you the bust glamorous part of is what we
do on stage.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
What you guys do watching uh the scenes, it's like
working at Costco, which I did for twenty years as
a kid.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
You see me laughing because, like listen, I lived the
whole Sunset strip scene in the eighties. In the eighties,
right way, where's a bunche of debauchery?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Now?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Like all my friends were like, hey, can you get
me backstage? I'm like, it's.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Boring, you know what to do? I would rather be
out there.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I was talking to Gabriel McNair, who's playing trombone on
the number of my songs. He's, of course quin Stefani's
horn player, and we're talking about the same thing out
Just when you go watch a band backstage, don't because
you can't hear that's the first time back it's everything
you see in pictures that it's so funny because this
whole starmaker machine thing is not as glamorous as it
(06:12):
may seem. It's like everybody in this business, and I'm
talking about the highest level celebrities I've met on both
sides and microphone, are just people.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
And that's what you have to remember.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Totally.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Save the Taylor Swifts of.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
The world and maybe the Bontos of the world and
Mick Jaggerson, all the rest of us are just like
you guys.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
And it's funny what you said about like being side stage.
People tell me, I'm like, do you know where my
band friends want me to go? When they want to
go see a set, they want they say come on,
let's go in front of the house like it's thesund
Unless you just want to hear drums, that's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
When you hear drums and a guy singing to a
microphone without Benny background, you can.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Do that exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Now, tell everybody how they can reach out to you,
guys on socials on the web. Buy your merch most importantly,
because that's how you get from gig to gig.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
So it's Sullivan Music on every single plot form, s
U l v N. The reason they did that is
because we had a different name prior and they wanted
to have all of our socials match and the only
way to do is to drop the I in the A,
So it's s U l v N. But if you
type in Sullivan Music and Google will take you there.
And then we're on Instagram and Spotify, all major music
finder stuff, and you can go to Celly Entertainment Group
(07:18):
dot com also to find us, so we're pretty easy
to find.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Beautiful. A final words, you want to leave our listener.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Yeah, invite us back next year. We want to be
here next year. If you hear that, Danny, bring them back, Danny,
get me back. Here next year I want to do
I want to do a six week run here, just
right here in this part of the country.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
And you gotta do all the other Danny Wimmer festivals
for sure too. It will be the same experience. And
we need a band.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Like you there.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah, and you need to you need to get back
to Sante's get in the water.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
