Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Josie Show. I'm Josie
Pasentino Boone and I have two incredible special guests joining
me here today. We have Chandler Doser and Andrew mitch So,
two incredible special guests, back to back interviews that you
won't want to miss.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
All right, so let's start with Chandler.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Hi, Chandler, Hey, thank you for having me.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
Oh, thank you so much for joining me. I just
wanted to kind of start from the beginning. When did
you realize music was what you wanted to pursue?
Speaker 7 (01:39):
Take me back in my upbringing, nobody played music in
my household, and we weren't a very musical family.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I don't know, we never really talked about music. I
don't recall ever really going to any concerts or anything really.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
But when I was in late middle school, I think
maybe seventh or eighth grade, I had a friend who
had started taking guitar lessons and I got interested in that.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
And then soon after some reason, my mom and dad.
Speaker 7 (02:09):
Took me to Nashville and we went to Country Music
Hall of Fame, and I got very taken with all that.
I don't know, I got very interested. So I started
doing all my own research, and it took a couple
of years of that, and maybe when I was in
late high school, maybe a junior, I think I decided
i'd like to, you know, I'd like to try music.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
And because I was.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
Working on it a lot and a lot of people
were encouraging me, and so I decided to go to
college out here in Nashville and pursue music.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Very nice, very nice. I see that you studied music business.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Right, Yes, ma'am, I did.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
That's fabulous. That's amazing.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
You can learn so much. You really can't, especially if
this is the industry you want to be a part
of and you really are making great waves so far.
You know, your debut e P Bakersfield East has done
so well. Tell us a little bit about this EP
and what listeners can expect to find on this one
for those who haven't heard it yet.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Well, first of all, I guess I should say the
title of it is Bakersfield East because the Bakersfield sound
out in southern California is my favorite sub genre of
country music, and back in the fifties and sixties when
it was reaching its peak, they called it Nashville West
(03:31):
because it was competing with Nashville, and so that thought
that would be a clever title.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Since I'm in the East, I'm in.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
Nashville, and so oh yeah, Bakersfield music in the East.
But you can find a good mix of music. I like,
lots of sorts of different country music. You can find
a baker's Field shuffle on there, or a slower kind
of ballroom shuffle, kind of Merle Haggard Merle Haggard ESK.
(03:59):
Also bluegrass stuff which is me being from North Carolina,
and some rockabilly kind of stuff, pretty waltz. You can
find a lot of a lot of pedal steel, a
lot of fiddle, some lead guitar that I'm playing, So
a little bit of everything in the country music realm.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I suppose that's wonderful.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Yeah, you have a great mix of everything for everyone,
which I really enjoy and different different sounds that really
have influenced you, you know, over the years. So it's
a really great EP and I hope everyone checks it out,
you know. And while performing these songs out and about
all around Nashville, what's been the crowd reaction? How's that
been like for you?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It's very nice.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
A lot of people like the up tempo shuffles because
that is just straight dancing music.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I mean, that's what that intention is.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
But it's very nice when people acknowledge the different types
of sounds. Like you said, it's nice when people say
it's cool that you can reach into those different influences
and kind of to kind of pull.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
From many different things.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
It doesn't doesn't all sound the same, and so that's
that's usually the reaction.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
That's very nice.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
That's very nice. That's a really great motivational boost too
to keep going.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Yes, yes, And are you currently writing or planning for
new music to come out at some point?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Actually?
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Yes, I've recorded another six song EP and I have
the first single set.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
To come out at the end of this month.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Actually awesome, I'm so excited. That's super exciting. Well, I
can't wait to check it out.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
So for people to you know, keep it tuned into
when new music is coming out, they can find you
on your website, but also you're on social networking sites
as well.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Right, yes, on.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
All the social media's and all my music is on
Spotify and Apple Music and YouTube, all your typical streaming services.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Fantastic, Please check them out. Everybody check out the EP
Baker's Field East. Until the new EP comes, We're really
looking forward to that.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
That's super exciting.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
That's awesome, And I wanted to ask you, you know,
what does your songwriting process look like? Because I know
for everybody it could be a little bit different, it
could look different. So how does it work for you?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Well, I have a I have a list of hook ideas.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
I suppose there's something I think is kind of clever,
So I have a list, and so I always am
adding to that. But it usually takes if I come
across a melody that I like, and it's usually you know,
I'm listening to a Bucko and song or a Merle
Haggard song or Elvis or somebody, and I'm like, well,
(06:40):
I'd like that I write a song similar to that,
and I try and find a good melody that I
think strong enough in that way, and I usually start
with that hook and that gives me a good guideline
and try and try and write that that whole thing out.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I don't I think it's different every time, honestly, but.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, yes it is. It is.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
I think that's so cool, and I love, like I said,
I love your music and I can't wait, you know,
for this new epe. By any chance, do you think
you'll have like another music video out, because I think
the last one was for It's Not Me, It's You,
and I really enjoyed that music video.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
Yes, ma'am, thank you very much. Do I do plan
to do at least one again this time, and I've
got a very different kind of song.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
It's more of.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
A Norteno song actually, which is a Northern Mexican song,
which is like a polka kind of feel.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, I'm thinking I may do may do them for
that song.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
You know, I haven't fully decided yet, but I'm thinking
that's the one I may do, and that.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Would be very very fun, be a very fun vie.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Oh for sure, I am all in. I would I'd
be tuning in. That's so cool.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
And I want to also bring up for people who
want to come and see you live. I know that
you play frequently at like Layla's Honky Tonk and Mellow Mushrooms.
Never had any kind of like on stage mishaps or
any like embarrassing on stage moments.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
Oh gosh, all the time. I made mistakes all the time,
oh for you. Luckily, never anything too devastating. Honestly, though,
what I can really think of is when I the
very first time I ever performed.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
I was maybe fourteen or fifteen.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, at my school talent show, and I
didn't have a long enough cable from my guitar, and
I put my AMP too far back and when I
walked up to the microphone, it pulled.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
It pulled out, so I had to start over.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
And I was so nervous I didn't even know to
pull my amp closer.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I did it again until I finally, oh no, I
need to.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Pull my am.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
That is so cute.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
I'm just imagining a little Chandler fourth, fourteen years old.
You know, when you're doing the best that you can,
it happens.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I'm telling I was panicking for sure.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I hear you, I hear you. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
These little steps, like these little journeys really can teach you,
you know, what you can do for next time to
kind of like learn you know what I mean, you
learn on the job, really absolutely. And then I have
another fun question here for you. So, if you can
perform anywhere around the world, where would you love to
perform that you haven't had the opportunity yet?
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Oh gosh, Well, the dream is obviously to play at
the Rhyman in Nashville or the grandled Opry. That's uh,
that's obviously the pinnacle of country music. So I feel
like if you ever, you know, get the opportunity to
do either of those, that's kind.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Of I will have full pretty complete by that point.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I would say, Oh yeah, I could see it happening.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
The trajectory you're in now, you're just it's only top
from here.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
You got this.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Oh gosh, well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You're very welcome. You're very welcome.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
And then the next fun question that I have for you,
if you can if you can collaborate with anyone out
there today.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Would you love to collaborate with.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Well, definitely.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
My number one would be Well, I will say there's
a lot of people who.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Have passed on right right, but White Yoakam for sure.
It's quite evident. He is my biggest influence. And I
love d White Yoakam.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
I would love to meet him or do something with him.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Also, Brad Paisley is someone that I love.
Speaker 7 (10:27):
He is really what got me into loving guitar, and
through him is how I kept discovering more traditional country
because that was his his bigger influences.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Even if that's not what.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
He necessarily does anymore, it's so evident in his early years.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
So I love either of them, but I love both
of them.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Oh, yes, that would be amazing. Who do we have
to write to petition time? Let's get him with both
of them. That would be. That would be so so cool,
and I could see it. I could see it happening.
Speaker 6 (11:00):

Speaker 3 (11:43):

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Up next is Andrew Mitch. I'm really looking forward to

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Hi Andrew, Hey, how are you? Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I'm doing great. Thank you so much for joining me.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Thank you for having me. I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Oh me too. I've been looking forward to this. I
love your music.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
It's it's just so incredible and your song Baggage, which
already carries a lot of emotional weight, but now you've
released an even sadder version. Literally, can you share what
inspired what inspired this new take and how did it
come together?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I mean, when we were writing Baggage, me and my
co writers.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I was literally like, can we just like craft something
that's just gonna like gut wrench somebody, Like just.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
The saddest thing we could possibly think of.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And then like two months later, I was just sitting
at the piano just playing it because I was like,
I just love this song so much, and I just
was playing around on the piano and I was like,
how did I just take this and make it even sadder?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I don't know. And then literally that week I just
recorded it and was like.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I'm going to release a quote unquote acoustic version and
we're gonna call it the even Sadder Version.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Success tears exactly. Yes, it's so good.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
And you know you said that sad songs are your
love language, and it feels like so many people can
relate to that from like listener aspect.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So what draws you to create sad song?
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I mean there's just I don't even know how to
put my finger on it exactly.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
There's just something about sad songs that like, I could.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Be having literally the best day ever, and I'm like,
let's just listen to a song that makes us cry,
because why not, let's just I love them so much.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yes, hey, it's your specialty. It really is.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
I was listening, it really is you. You do such
a phenomenal job with it, which makes me even more
excited to hear that a new song is coming titled
muscle Memories.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Actually, I had something completely different planned for after Baggage.
It's just like a little bit of songwriter insider there.
And I was getting quite a few dms from people
after listening to Baggage, telling me that it reminded them
of their partner that passed away or just I don't
(13:53):
know it, Like I always thought of Baggage as being an.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Ex boyfriend that just left one day, but people.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Were relating it to partners that passed away, and I
was just like, I had this idea for Muscle Memory.
I took it to Jonathan, who co wrote Muscle Memory
with me, and I was like, I think this needs
to be the follow up single to Baggage, because this
just seems like a great segue to be like, well,
let's talk about those partners that passed away.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
It also proves that you know, even though you may
have a song with like an intent, other people could
take it a different way and kind of run with it,
which I find really.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Cool about music.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Yeah, exactly, I hear you have a new album on
the way. What can you tell us about this next chapter?
Tell us all about it?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
You know, the next chapter is still very much up
in the air. I am just creating. I am making
music that I just I love and I'm trying to
kind of make it a testament to the last couple
of years of my life in Nashville and leaving grad school.
And yeah, I mean, I don't there's really isn't too
much to tell right now yet. It's all up in
(14:58):
the air and we're just having fun with it. I
can't wait to share it.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
So are you currently like in the studio recording or
are you is it what's going on like.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
With that right now? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, I mean it's kind of just like an in
and out of the studio process.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
We're going out when we feel like it.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
We're just yeah, we're just drawing it out and when
it's ready, it's ready.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Okay, I'm ready for it.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Well, when that releases, I'll make sure that I share
with our audience so people can check it out. But
that is very, very exciting, and you know, how do
you feel that this new music, you know, differ, will
differ from your debut project Feeling Outside the Lines, because
I feel like as people, we just we grow, we evalve,
and so does our music too.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Well, I feel like with Feeling Outside the Lines, I
was holding back in a lot of ways. I think
I told myself that I wasn't but sure looking back
on these tracks, I was like, Okay, I think we
were kind of holding back with these messages, and now
with things like Baggage and muscle Memory and all the
the rest of the songs, I'm like, you know what,
let's just full send the sad song thing like, let's
(15:56):
just I'm not even apologizing for it anymore.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
So exactly go for it, full fledged, exactly absolutely as
you should. As you should.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
And I kind of want to go back a little
bit because I love to learn a little bit, you know,
about the music artists that I have on my show.
So when did you realize music was what you wanted
to pursue? When did this all be in?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I mean I remember listening to my dad play worship
songs on his guitar when I was really little, probably
like five or six years old, just sitting on my steps,
and my dad would just play for hours and I
just loved listening to him. And then like in school,
I was the only boy that volunteered to be in
(16:38):
the church choir and volunteer to like stand up and
sing in.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Front of everybody.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And yeah, it was just kind of like this ever
evolving process until one day I just kind of looked
at my parents, I think it was like twelve years old,
and I was like, I want to learn how to
play guitar, and I want to write songs and I
want to record, and no, I don't have any idea
how to do any of that, but I want to
learn how to do it.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
You know.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
There we are like sixteen years later, Yeah, sixteen.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Years later, living in Nashville, and now I have like
multiple albums out and all this music and it's been
so much.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Fun, amazing, such a great, such a great journey for you,
and it's still going on. I mean, I can't wait
to see what is next for you. And of course,
everyone could check out all of your music on all
of the places that you that you could stream music today,
so please make sure you go and check that out, everybody,
And who are some of your musical inspirations. Who do
you really who do you really let love and listen to?
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
In country, I love Kelsey Ballerini, She's my girl. I've
always loved Ingrid and dress and her ability to make
really beautiful, sad songs.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
When I met Ingrid, I was like, we're best friends.
You just don't know it yet exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
And then more in like the I guess contemporary folk space,
people like Noah Khan. I love Hazlet. Yeah, there's there's
so many people that I just like worship ground.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
That they walk on absolutely. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Would those would be really great collabs too, Like you
know what I mean, They will be like great people
to work with for sure.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I thought I saw Nola Khan at my dog park
the other day because I think he lives in Nashville,
and I about died. It was I am, but I
was just like, oh my gosh, there he is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Relate, I relate, I hear you. That is so funny
And I hope people go and check you out.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Can you please give out your website and also your
social marking site so people can keep up with all
the latest and great greatest.

of my socials are at the Andrew Mitch.

Speaker 6 (18:42):
Check out all of the music. I promise you there's
not one that I have found that I didn't like. Honestly,
I really enjoyed listen.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Well, thank you, You're very welcome.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
You're very welcome.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
I'm very impressed with with your songwriting. And how does
that process work for you? Because I know for people,
you know a lot of people just it could always
be different.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
How does that work for you?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I mean, yeah, I'm the same way that it can
always be different. So I've had tracks where I make
the full backtrack and then right.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
To eight years later.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I have songs that like Baggage, where it was literally
just niece singing in my head. I got the Baggage
over and over again, and then eventually just brought my
guitar to one of my co writers and was like.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Let's write this. So it's different for everybody.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I love it, and I have some fun questions for
you before we go. Okay, I love my fun questions.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Yeah, Okay, I'm excited.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Okay, great, great, So I wanted to ask you while performing,
have you ever had any embarrassing on stage moments or
just an on stage mishap that you could that you
could share with us.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I don't really know that there's any like one specific,
miss miss well. Okay, I did play a show in
Arkansas once where I couldn't hear my track, and so
looking at the videos afterward, I was like, oh, right, clearly,
So yeah, I mean there's just there's little mishaps once
in a while. But I mean as long as you're
having fun in the audience is having fun, then it's
(20:00):
all good.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, absolutely human, and it's going to happen right exactly.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
I was like, I literally can't hear that.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
It's so weird because you think you would be able
to hear everything so vibrantly on such a big stage,
but when all the speakers are pointing away from you,
it's really hard to hear everything all of a sudden.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
It's very strange, very strange.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
It's those things that people just won't know unless you're
up there.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
You know what I mean, and experience exactly.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
And then the next one question I have for you,
if you can perform anywhere around the world. Is there
a stage that you would love to perform that you
haven't had the opportunity yet.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Oh my gosh, I mean dream vision board stage would
be red Rocks something.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yeah, I would love that.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Oh that would be amazing. I just want to be there.
Is just I'll just when you're when you're performing, I'll
just sit and watch.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Okay, but I've always wanted to be there.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Yes, it'll just be me and you. Well, I'll tell
you so low performance.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
You so so much for joining me, and please come

Speaker 6 (01:12):
Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Josie Show. I'm Josie
Pasentino Boone and I have two incredible special guests joining
me here today. We have Chandler Doser and Andrew mitch So,
two incredible special guests, back to back interviews that you
won't want to miss.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
All right, so let's start with Chandler.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Hi, Chandler, Hey, thank you for having me.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
Oh, thank you so much for joining me. I just
wanted to kind of start from the beginning. When did
you realize music was what you wanted to pursue?
Speaker 7 (01:39):
Take me back in my upbringing, nobody played music in
my household, and we weren't a very musical family.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I don't know, we never really talked about music. I
don't recall ever really going to any concerts or anything really.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
But when I was in late middle school, I think
maybe seventh or eighth grade, I had a friend who
had started taking guitar lessons and I got interested in that.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
And then soon after some reason, my mom and dad.
Speaker 7 (02:09):
Took me to Nashville and we went to Country Music
Hall of Fame, and I got very taken with all that.
I don't know, I got very interested. So I started
doing all my own research, and it took a couple
of years of that, and maybe when I was in
late high school, maybe a junior, I think I decided
i'd like to, you know, I'd like to try music.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
And because I was.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
Working on it a lot and a lot of people
were encouraging me, and so I decided to go to
college out here in Nashville and pursue music.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Very nice, very nice. I see that you studied music business.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Right, Yes, ma'am, I did.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
That's fabulous. That's amazing.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
You can learn so much. You really can't, especially if
this is the industry you want to be a part
of and you really are making great waves so far.
You know, your debut e P Bakersfield East has done
so well. Tell us a little bit about this EP
and what listeners can expect to find on this one
for those who haven't heard it yet.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Well, first of all, I guess I should say the
title of it is Bakersfield East because the Bakersfield sound
out in southern California is my favorite sub genre of
country music, and back in the fifties and sixties when
it was reaching its peak, they called it Nashville West
(03:31):
because it was competing with Nashville, and so that thought
that would be a clever title.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Since I'm in the East, I'm in.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
Nashville, and so oh yeah, Bakersfield music in the East.
But you can find a good mix of music. I like,
lots of sorts of different country music. You can find
a baker's Field shuffle on there, or a slower kind
of ballroom shuffle, kind of Merle Haggard Merle Haggard ESK.
(03:59):
Also bluegrass stuff which is me being from North Carolina,
and some rockabilly kind of stuff, pretty waltz. You can
find a lot of a lot of pedal steel, a
lot of fiddle, some lead guitar that I'm playing, So
a little bit of everything in the country music realm.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I suppose that's wonderful.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Yeah, you have a great mix of everything for everyone,
which I really enjoy and different different sounds that really
have influenced you, you know, over the years. So it's
a really great EP and I hope everyone checks it out,
you know. And while performing these songs out and about
all around Nashville, what's been the crowd reaction? How's that
been like for you?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It's very nice.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
A lot of people like the up tempo shuffles because
that is just straight dancing music.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I mean, that's what that intention is.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
But it's very nice when people acknowledge the different types
of sounds. Like you said, it's nice when people say
it's cool that you can reach into those different influences
and kind of to kind of pull.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
From many different things.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
It doesn't doesn't all sound the same, and so that's
that's usually the reaction.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
That's very nice.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
That's very nice. That's a really great motivational boost too
to keep going.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Yes, yes, And are you currently writing or planning for
new music to come out at some point?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Actually?
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Yes, I've recorded another six song EP and I have
the first single set.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
To come out at the end of this month.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Actually awesome, I'm so excited. That's super exciting. Well, I
can't wait to check it out.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
So for people to you know, keep it tuned into
when new music is coming out, they can find you
on your website, but also you're on social networking sites
as well.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Right, yes, on.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
All the social media's and all my music is on
Spotify and Apple Music and YouTube, all your typical streaming services.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Fantastic, Please check them out. Everybody check out the EP
Baker's Field East. Until the new EP comes, We're really
looking forward to that.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
That's super exciting.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
That's awesome, And I wanted to ask you, you know,
what does your songwriting process look like? Because I know
for everybody it could be a little bit different, it
could look different. So how does it work for you?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Well, I have a I have a list of hook ideas.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
I suppose there's something I think is kind of clever,
So I have a list, and so I always am
adding to that. But it usually takes if I come
across a melody that I like, and it's usually you know,
I'm listening to a Bucko and song or a Merle
Haggard song or Elvis or somebody, and I'm like, well,
(06:40):
I'd like that I write a song similar to that,
and I try and find a good melody that I
think strong enough in that way, and I usually start
with that hook and that gives me a good guideline
and try and try and write that that whole thing out.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I don't I think it's different every time, honestly, but.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, yes it is. It is.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
I think that's so cool, and I love, like I said,
I love your music and I can't wait, you know,
for this new epe. By any chance, do you think
you'll have like another music video out, because I think
the last one was for It's Not Me, It's You,
and I really enjoyed that music video.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
Yes, ma'am, thank you very much. Do I do plan
to do at least one again this time, and I've
got a very different kind of song.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
It's more of.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
A Norteno song actually, which is a Northern Mexican song,
which is like a polka kind of feel.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, I'm thinking I may do may do them for
that song.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
You know, I haven't fully decided yet, but I'm thinking
that's the one I may do, and that.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Would be very very fun, be a very fun vie.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Oh for sure, I am all in. I would I'd
be tuning in. That's so cool.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
And I want to also bring up for people who
want to come and see you live. I know that
you play frequently at like Layla's Honky Tonk and Mellow Mushrooms.
Never had any kind of like on stage mishaps or
any like embarrassing on stage moments.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
Oh gosh, all the time. I made mistakes all the time,
oh for you. Luckily, never anything too devastating. Honestly, though,
what I can really think of is when I the
very first time I ever performed.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
I was maybe fourteen or fifteen.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, at my school talent show, and I
didn't have a long enough cable from my guitar, and
I put my AMP too far back and when I
walked up to the microphone, it pulled.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
It pulled out, so I had to start over.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
And I was so nervous I didn't even know to
pull my amp closer.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I did it again until I finally, oh no, I
need to.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Pull my am.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
That is so cute.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
I'm just imagining a little Chandler fourth, fourteen years old.
You know, when you're doing the best that you can,
it happens.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I'm telling I was panicking for sure.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I hear you, I hear you. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
These little steps, like these little journeys really can teach you,
you know, what you can do for next time to
kind of like learn you know what I mean, you
learn on the job, really absolutely. And then I have
another fun question here for you. So, if you can
perform anywhere around the world, where would you love to
perform that you haven't had the opportunity yet?
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Oh gosh, Well, the dream is obviously to play at
the Rhyman in Nashville or the grandled Opry. That's uh,
that's obviously the pinnacle of country music. So I feel
like if you ever, you know, get the opportunity to
do either of those, that's kind.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Of I will have full pretty complete by that point.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I would say, Oh yeah, I could see it happening.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
The trajectory you're in now, you're just it's only top
from here.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
You got this.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Oh gosh, well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You're very welcome. You're very welcome.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
And then the next fun question that I have for you,
if you can if you can collaborate with anyone out
there today.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Would you love to collaborate with.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Well, definitely.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
My number one would be Well, I will say there's
a lot of people who.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Have passed on right right, but White Yoakam for sure.
It's quite evident. He is my biggest influence. And I
love d White Yoakam.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
I would love to meet him or do something with him.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Also, Brad Paisley is someone that I love.
Speaker 7 (10:27):
He is really what got me into loving guitar, and
through him is how I kept discovering more traditional country
because that was his his bigger influences.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Even if that's not what.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
He necessarily does anymore, it's so evident in his early years.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
So I love either of them, but I love both
of them.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Oh, yes, that would be amazing. Who do we have
to write to petition time? Let's get him with both
of them. That would be. That would be so so cool,
and I could see it. I could see it happening.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
I'm really excited to see where your journey takes you,
and I hope everyone checks out your EP Bakersfield East

I really appreciate you taking the time to chat.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Up next is Andrew Mitch. I'm really looking forward to
talking to him. So here he is.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Hi Andrew, Hey, how are you? Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I'm doing great. Thank you so much for joining me.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Thank you for having me. I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Oh me too. I've been looking forward to this. I
love your music.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
It's it's just so incredible and your song Baggage, which
already carries a lot of emotional weight, but now you've
released an even sadder version. Literally, can you share what
inspired what inspired this new take and how did it
come together?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I mean, when we were writing Baggage, me and my
co writers.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I was literally like, can we just like craft something
that's just gonna like gut wrench somebody, Like just.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
The saddest thing we could possibly think of.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And then like two months later, I was just sitting
at the piano just playing it because I was like,
I just love this song so much, and I just
was playing around on the piano and I was like,
how did I just take this and make it even sadder?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I don't know. And then literally that week I just
recorded it and was like.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I'm going to release a quote unquote acoustic version and
we're gonna call it the even Sadder Version.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Success tears exactly. Yes, it's so good.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
And you know you said that sad songs are your
love language, and it feels like so many people can
relate to that from like listener aspect.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So what draws you to create sad song?
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I mean there's just I don't even know how to
put my finger on it exactly.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
There's just something about sad songs that like, I could.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Be having literally the best day ever, and I'm like,
let's just listen to a song that makes us cry,
because why not, let's just I love them so much.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yes, hey, it's your specialty. It really is.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
I was listening, it really is you. You do such
a phenomenal job with it, which makes me even more
excited to hear that a new song is coming titled
muscle Memories.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Actually, I had something completely different planned for after Baggage.
It's just like a little bit of songwriter insider there.
And I was getting quite a few dms from people
after listening to Baggage, telling me that it reminded them
of their partner that passed away or just I don't
(13:53):
know it, Like I always thought of Baggage as being an.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Ex boyfriend that just left one day, but people.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Were relating it to partners that passed away, and I
was just like, I had this idea for Muscle Memory.
I took it to Jonathan, who co wrote Muscle Memory
with me, and I was like, I think this needs
to be the follow up single to Baggage, because this
just seems like a great segue to be like, well,
let's talk about those partners that passed away.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
It also proves that you know, even though you may
have a song with like an intent, other people could
take it a different way and kind of run with it,
which I find really.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Cool about music.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Yeah, exactly, I hear you have a new album on
the way. What can you tell us about this next chapter?
Tell us all about it?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
You know, the next chapter is still very much up
in the air. I am just creating. I am making
music that I just I love and I'm trying to
kind of make it a testament to the last couple
of years of my life in Nashville and leaving grad school.
And yeah, I mean, I don't there's really isn't too
much to tell right now yet. It's all up in
(14:58):
the air and we're just having fun with it. I
can't wait to share it.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
So are you currently like in the studio recording or
are you is it what's going on like.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
With that right now? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, I mean it's kind of just like an in
and out of the studio process.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
We're going out when we feel like it.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
We're just yeah, we're just drawing it out and when
it's ready, it's ready.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Okay, I'm ready for it.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Well, when that releases, I'll make sure that I share
with our audience so people can check it out. But
that is very, very exciting, and you know, how do
you feel that this new music, you know, differ, will
differ from your debut project Feeling Outside the Lines, because
I feel like as people, we just we grow, we evalve,
and so does our music too.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Well, I feel like with Feeling Outside the Lines, I
was holding back in a lot of ways. I think
I told myself that I wasn't but sure looking back
on these tracks, I was like, Okay, I think we
were kind of holding back with these messages, and now
with things like Baggage and muscle Memory and all the
the rest of the songs, I'm like, you know what,
let's just full send the sad song thing like, let's
(15:56):
just I'm not even apologizing for it anymore.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
So exactly go for it, full fledged, exactly absolutely as
you should. As you should.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
And I kind of want to go back a little
bit because I love to learn a little bit, you know,
about the music artists that I have on my show.
So when did you realize music was what you wanted
to pursue? When did this all be in?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I mean I remember listening to my dad play worship
songs on his guitar when I was really little, probably
like five or six years old, just sitting on my steps,
and my dad would just play for hours and I
just loved listening to him. And then like in school,
I was the only boy that volunteered to be in
(16:38):
the church choir and volunteer to like stand up and
sing in.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Front of everybody.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And yeah, it was just kind of like this ever
evolving process until one day I just kind of looked
at my parents, I think it was like twelve years old,
and I was like, I want to learn how to
play guitar, and I want to write songs and I
want to record, and no, I don't have any idea
how to do any of that, but I want to
learn how to do it.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
You know.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
There we are like sixteen years later, Yeah, sixteen.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Years later, living in Nashville, and now I have like
multiple albums out and all this music and it's been
so much.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Fun, amazing, such a great, such a great journey for you,
and it's still going on. I mean, I can't wait
to see what is next for you. And of course,
everyone could check out all of your music on all
of the places that you that you could stream music today,
so please make sure you go and check that out, everybody,
And who are some of your musical inspirations. Who do
you really who do you really let love and listen to?
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
In country, I love Kelsey Ballerini, She's my girl. I've
always loved Ingrid and dress and her ability to make
really beautiful, sad songs.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
When I met Ingrid, I was like, we're best friends.
You just don't know it yet exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
And then more in like the I guess contemporary folk space,
people like Noah Khan. I love Hazlet. Yeah, there's there's
so many people that I just like worship ground.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
That they walk on absolutely. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Would those would be really great collabs too, Like you
know what I mean, They will be like great people
to work with for sure.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I thought I saw Nola Khan at my dog park
the other day because I think he lives in Nashville,
and I about died. It was I am, but I
was just like, oh my gosh, there he is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Relate, I relate, I hear you. That is so funny
And I hope people go and check you out.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Can you please give out your website and also your
social marking site so people can keep up with all
the latest and great greatest.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
So My website is Andrew Mitch dot com and all
of my socials are at the Andrew Mitch.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
You can find me on.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Instagram, Facebook, tik talk, YouTube, all the things, uh and.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Check out all of the music. I promise you there's
not one that I have found that I didn't like. Honestly,
I really enjoyed listen.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Well, thank you, You're very welcome.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
You're very welcome.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
I'm very impressed with with your songwriting. And how does
that process work for you? Because I know for people,
you know a lot of people just it could always
be different.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
How does that work for you?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I mean, yeah, I'm the same way that it can
always be different. So I've had tracks where I make
the full backtrack and then right.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
To eight years later.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I have songs that like Baggage, where it was literally
just niece singing in my head. I got the Baggage
over and over again, and then eventually just brought my
guitar to one of my co writers and was like.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Let's write this. So it's different for everybody.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I love it, and I have some fun questions for
you before we go. Okay, I love my fun questions.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Yeah, Okay, I'm excited.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Okay, great, great, So I wanted to ask you while performing,
have you ever had any embarrassing on stage moments or
just an on stage mishap that you could that you
could share with us.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I don't really know that there's any like one specific,
miss miss well. Okay, I did play a show in
Arkansas once where I couldn't hear my track, and so
looking at the videos afterward, I was like, oh, right, clearly,
So yeah, I mean there's just there's little mishaps once
in a while. But I mean as long as you're
having fun in the audience is having fun, then it's
(20:00):
all good.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, absolutely human, and it's going to happen right exactly.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
I was like, I literally can't hear that.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
It's so weird because you think you would be able
to hear everything so vibrantly on such a big stage,
but when all the speakers are pointing away from you,
it's really hard to hear everything all of a sudden.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
It's very strange, very strange.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
It's those things that people just won't know unless you're
up there.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
You know what I mean, and experience exactly.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
And then the next one question I have for you,
if you can perform anywhere around the world. Is there
a stage that you would love to perform that you
haven't had the opportunity yet.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Oh my gosh, I mean dream vision board stage would
be red Rocks something.
