Speaker 2 (01:36):
I can't recall.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Do you aspire to be.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
On the tea? To me, it's just another train, but sure.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It might be a good option for later. Yeah, okay,
So now that you've had your time in Boston, I
feel like Boston's had a crazy run of like pop
stars singing about it, like Tate McCrae's talking about a
night out in Boston all the time. Yeah, Chapel has
her friend's boyfriend back and even Gracie taking the train. Yeah,
are you planning on putting.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
And she wanted to cry exactly?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Are you planning on crying in Boston and putting it
in a song at all?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I hope not. I hope not. I want to have
a nice night.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I don't know exactly. Yeah, nobody's crying tonight, right.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
But so speaking of crying, we have to talk about
the form. How was that going on stage with literally
your best friend Gracie in front of your hometown in
this iconic venue. What was that like?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Pretty surreal?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I mean like when we sound checked, I was like, yeah,
this is gonna scare me. And I'm pretty comfortable up
on stage so far, but yeah, I mean it was
nice to just have her to look at while I
was up there, and nice of her to invite me.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Pretty fun.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I mean there's like a weird crash I think that
happens after something like that, where for like twenty minutes
directly following I was like, I don't know if I
did a good job, But then you just got to
call your mom and have her to tell you of
course you were amazing. And then yeah, I like enjoyed
some smoke trout at my apartment afterwards.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
So yeah, and then I got to bed at a
decent hour.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Is that true? You just like to sleep after that?
You didn't go out to anything fun?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
No, I didn't go out. I had fun in my
apartment with the smoke trout.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Right right, right, right right? How does that happen? Like
how did she just come up to you one day
and she's like, hey, you should come out because you've
performed together before, right, Yeah, And this has got to
be a completely different experience too.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I mean no, not really. It's just the scale and
the like how big the place is.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
But if you're just like staring at the same person
who you're always looking at, it's like equally fun as
it is when it's you know, to one hundred people
I think where you like first performed two or something.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, it was just awesome.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
It's incredible. Yeah, So have that kind of a person.
I feel like a lot of people in their work
lives don't have that.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
So you've had don't have nice coworkers.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Don't have nice coworkers. Who were like your best friend.
So you've had that in Gracie and have helped her
with her music now you're on yours. Yeah, in your
life of music, there were the people like around you
that help you your work.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I call my mom a lot when I'm writing songs,
and my sister, my Northeastern sister, and I would say
those are the and then Ricky, who made the entire
album with me. Like, I wouldn't call Ricky while I
was at my desk writing a song, but I'd call
my mom and my sister and sort of if I
because it would sometimes take me like five hours to
(04:22):
get a line, and then after those five hours, i'd
finally get out just like I have to call someone
even though it's one line, and they always encourage me.
But yeah, I mean, i'd say it's it's really just
me in there writing those songs.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
It's a small group. You write with yourself a lot, right,
would you say most of the album is just you?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
It's it's on me.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
That's incredible. What are like the places you write? Where
do you focus?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
My my house, my room, at my desk.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
But I uh, I also I get like ideas for
lines out in the world like I'll often I'll write
if I'm getting frustrated writing at my desk, I will
take a walk and then write while I walk, because
then at least I can see people and be getting
fresh air, and of course my steps in important.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, but I feel like your whole vibe online some
of the lyrics in the song are just like flat
out fun and funny.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Oh thanks?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Do you like how does that impact your song so
that something important that has to be a part of everything,
or does it like help you bring out a message
using your humor?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Yeah, I would say I feel like I sort of discovered,
like early on in writing that I would only let
myself complain or like have a grievance if I were
able to like turn it around for myself and make
it okay for me, because I just that is how
I tend to live and that's how I was raised.
(05:45):
Is like, they're not like there's a solution, but I'm
not a very serious person. I find it much easier
to exist that way, because really, you know, it's not
all it's not all life for death. I don't know,
I really mean that.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, you're able to zoom out and see, oh wait,
this situation is funny.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah, I and I like to have I really do
like to have fun, like even in you know what
my life has changed, like just my my like day
to day life has changed a lot from what.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
It used to be.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
But and you know, you've gotta make it fun.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You you have to have fun in this life.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, how these first few shows been, like I've heard
of some fun things you're doing with them. But how's
it been. You've done New York, in LA now it's
been announced Chicago coming soon, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yeah, Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, it's been so fun, Like it's been so much fun,
and it just it's also it's not what my you know,
actual show is going to be. Like it's just me
up there with my guitar and I have to eat
up an hour and because I'm only and I'm only
playing six songs, so I'd end up talking a lot.
But I think it's like I also I'm you know,
I'm sure you can all tell about like I I
also want to be a stand up comedian and yeah,
(06:58):
like it excites me. It's really I used to like
actually look out and see people and then you know,
it's but it's also been interesting because like the first
show I played Sue Me was the only song that
was out, and then the second show I played Bowling
Alley had come out, and then the third show I
played What Hair had come out, but I couldn't talk
about my album.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And now this Chicago show, it's gonna go down.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
We've got full track list pretty much. Yeah, every Chicago.
Wednesday's Chicago, so we'll have the album on Friday. And
I've heard songs from the album, like on TikTok did
they they're leaking somehow.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
By doing it by you?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Right?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, how did that happen?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
How did that happen?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I'm I'm being I'm being uh not pushed, but like
it's being recommended that I wink at y'all, even though
it's literally all I just I can't. And also because
I've been wanting to, Like obviously the three singles have
come out, but I'm equally passionate about every single song
on the album. And I've gotten to do listening parties
(07:52):
in London and in LA and that has been like
my favorite thing because it's just what I dreamed about,
was sitting in a room staring at people listening.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Is this like a feedback session like for those shows
or for that, are you like, are you suggesting things
from that?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, I'm asking for notes after every song. No, I mean,
it's just an experience. It's just an experience. Like it's
just cool in La I got to have Rookie with me,
and he's the only other person who was there from
start to finish of the entire thing, so we were
literally justly.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
It was so much fun, so much fun.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
We're so excited to hear it on Friday. And we've
got you doing a couple of songs in a couple
of seconds as you were soundtracking sound checking. Just sounded perfect.
So excited for that show on Wednesday. Friday's going to
be crazy. Yeah, anything else you want to add, any
Boston love, anything to expect from the album that we
don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
No, I'm just so happy it's coming on Friday. Like
I keep I've been asked like are you nervous, And
it's like no, no, no, no, I'm I can't believe
we've arrived, just because we finished it in March and
I've just been waiting, waiting for this week and I
keep like finding myself staring at windows and like smiling
(09:05):
to myself. I wake up and I'm smiling. I wake
up from a dream and I'm screaming because I'm so excited.
I'm really happy that you guys are wanting to hear
it because I'm I'm really proud of it and excited.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Okay, yeah, so this is Bowling Alley.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Second song that came out, personal favorite of mine off
of the album.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I like this one specifically because when I sat down
to write it, I felt like, I don't know where
this is gonna go, Like I actually, all I knew
when I sat down was that I wanted to write
a song about being the naked neighbor.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Is anyone else here that?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Okay, Yeah, I don't know what it is like because okay,
oh so you also wake up to natural light, then yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's a nice thing. That's a nice thing. But I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I don't fear being seen through the window, like because probably,
I mean hopefully they don't actually know me personally or
at all. But yeah, I loved I loved every second
of writing this song. And I've said this before, but
I had to vocally re record my whole album so
hardest month of my life. Like I'll talk more about
(10:11):
it in the future. But uh, this was the only
song that I had the greatest time rerecording. I would
I'll say about re recording is that I'm a perfectionist.
So it was kind of like getting in there and
singing one line one hundred times and knowing that the
third time I sang it was probably good enough, but
then getting to time one hundred and being like, well,
now I have a very specific thing in my head
that needs sound like but Bowling Alley, it was just
(10:35):
a party in that booth because I'm so proud of
this song. Are you guys on are you guys in school?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Okay, so it's still summer. You know what I've been
dying to say. Everyone said Audrey Herbert Summer, but it's
Audrey Hubert.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Fall, you know what?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
And then and actually Sophie, my manager, said Audrey Autumn.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Yeah, so it starts parting that if you don't mind, know,
But yeah, I like wanted this album when I first
started making it, before I'd even signed a record deal.
I really wanted this album to come out like at
the top of summer because it just felt because I
made it last summer, like I made it all summer.
But now I really am glad that it's kind of
going to be coming out as people are going back
(11:17):
to school, because I think there are a lot of
I think the subject matter would have helped me starting
a new school year. It's it's sometimes like hard, you know,
even if you're a senior and you're like, I fucking
own this place, and I know I didn't like being
in high school for a lot of high school and
(11:39):
then it probably there's probably whoa, yeah, there's probably some
college college people here though, right, yeah, college also freshman year.
Freshman year, I did not have a good freshman year,
and I have a hard time trusting people who did.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Like, what do you mean, oh, oh, you guys are
going in to your freshman year? Okay, yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Just know, like if you have a hard time finding
friends like I did, it probably means that you're special.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
And unique, just like me. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.
I like, I've never journaled more than I did my
freshman year journal. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
