Hunter Route Band has already released anew album here, I think this past
month. He's recently spent some timein LA talking to a major record label
(20:33):
as well. So keep your eyeout on Hunter Route and speaking of,
you know, talking to a majorlabel. Oh my god. One of
the Central PA's favorite bands. Theystarted here when they were literally just kids.
Lizzie and RJ. Hale formed hailStorm back in the day and when
we used to have open mic nighton the River on Sunday nights. Mikel
Anthony Smith was the host and hewould have Lizzie and RJ and their dad
(20:57):
come in to the show and performlive in the studio. That's awesome,
I mean. And to look wherethey are now. They're on stage at
Hollywood Casino right now, open upfor Volbeat. They are in Central Pennsylvania
Music Hall of Famers. That's right. And you had an opportunity to catch
up with Lizzie and r J,so you were talking to them about how
(21:17):
they got their start. So RGand I it started out as just RG
and I as a duo, andwe started the band. Summer ninety seven,
we entered ourselves in a talent showthe Schuckoo County Fair of Central Pa.
Um and we and we rolled thereand we literally named the band in
the family van on the way tothat show. Um. We ended up
(21:38):
getting the third place trophy, butlosing to the tap dancing cowgirl and uh
but but it was just such acrazy thing. I remember like RG and
I looking at each other afterward andwe were like shaking with like just you
know, adrenaline, because we hadnever really performed outside of our parents living
room, and like, well,man, do you think, like mom
and dad know another place we canplay like let's let's this and then and
(22:00):
then all bits were off like thatnight we're having you know, chicken and
mashed potatoes at the family table andwe're just our g and I are just
going off about like dude, we'rea band and this is all now,
this is what we got to doit again? Where can we go?
And then uh, and then yeahwe're like, well, well dad plays
bass, um, let's do that. So yeah, it's back on those
times fondly. You know. That'sa conversation that Brandon Valentine had with hail
(22:25):
Storm when they were about to playat the York Fare a couple of years
ago, right before they got theirinduction. You got to go on stage
and induct them into the Central PennsylvaniaMusic Hall of Fame. That's right,
super awesome experience doing that. Um, they had me come out. The
difficulty with that really was they useI don't know for those musicians out there
that know, you know, sometimesthere are stage monitors that kind of blast
(22:47):
your instruments and your vocals back toyou so you can hear everything. But
the pros they usually use in earmonitors. That means they have virtually you
know, like air pods. Um, but they're they're fitted to your ear.
Oh yeah, in there so youcan hear everything. Right, So
there was no stage volume. Sohere I am standing up there, I
couldn't even hear what Lizzie was saying. The crowd screaming, the crowd screaming,
(23:10):
right, she's she's talking to meinto a microphone, but it's going
out the PA towards the crowd,and it's going into the into their in
ear monitors, and it I can'thear anything on stage. But nonetheless,
it was great um able to inductthem, read their plaque, present them
with an award on stage, andthey were gracious enough on stage to do
a celebratory shot with me as well. We were able to have some some
(23:34):
fine whiskey and uh, you know, raise a glass to uh their big
moment in celebrating them of being aCentral Pennsylvania Music Hall of Famers. That's
super cool. And here they aretalking about uh, one of the bands
that influenced them and kind of helpedgive them their start, seven Dust.
Here's I'll give it to r Jdud. Dude. There's there's one band
(23:55):
that did it for us. Whenmy sister and I and Joe was just
you just joined the and when thishappened. But we uh we heard seven
US was playing at the Chameleon Cluband we just showed up. We didn't
have tickets, We couldn't afford tickets. We were we were really you know
not you know, didn't really havecouldn't really afford it back then. Um,
but uh, we just we didn'treally know how it worked because we
(24:15):
never experienced it. But and nowwe know what it's like being a headliner
and having people just wait outside yourbus and um, you know, we
just stood outside their bus and uh, we hadn't knocked on the door,
which I know we knocked on thedoor. Yeah, we didn't know.
We didn't know what the protocol was. So and they come out and LeJean
comes out, and uh LeJean,Morgan and Clint were hanging in there and
(24:38):
uh and they were like, hey, what's up. Like, Hi,
we're a band, and they're like, oh, cool, come on in.
They let us in their bus.They gave us some sodas and some
waters we were too young to drink, and they gave us backstage passes.
We gave them our little demo andwe're like cool, cool cool. And
then we go and we're side stagewaiting for them to start, and they
literally start playing one of the songsfrom our CD PIA system. Before that,
(25:00):
we're just like what the We're justfreaking out, like this is incredible,
and then you know, fast forwardyears later, we realize that not

Hunter Route Band has already released anew album here, I think this past

(20:33):
as well. So keep your eyeout on Hunter Route and speaking of,
you know, talking to a majorlabel. Oh my god. One of
the Central PA's favorite bands. Theystarted here when they were literally just kids.
Lizzie and RJ. Hale formed hailStorm back in the day and when
we used to have open mic nighton the River on Sunday nights. Mikel
Anthony Smith was the host and hewould have Lizzie and RJ and their dad
(20:57):
come in to the show and performlive in the studio. That's awesome,
I mean. And to look wherethey are now. They're on stage at
Hollywood Casino right now, open upfor Volbeat. They are in Central Pennsylvania
Music Hall of Famers. That's right. And you had an opportunity to catch
up with Lizzie and r J,so you were talking to them about how
(21:17):
they got their start. So RGand I it started out as just RG
and I as a duo, andwe started the band. Summer ninety seven,
we entered ourselves in a talent showthe Schuckoo County Fair of Central Pa.
Um and we and we rolled thereand we literally named the band in
the family van on the way tothat show. Um. We ended up
(21:38):
getting the third place trophy, butlosing to the tap dancing cowgirl and uh
but but it was just such acrazy thing. I remember like RG and
I looking at each other afterward andwe were like shaking with like just you
know, adrenaline, because we hadnever really performed outside of our parents living
room, and like, well,man, do you think, like mom
and dad know another place we canplay like let's let's this and then and
(22:00):
then all bits were off like thatnight we're having you know, chicken and
mashed potatoes at the family table andwe're just our g and I are just
going off about like dude, we'rea band and this is all now,
this is what we got to doit again? Where can we go?
And then uh, and then yeahwe're like, well, well dad plays
bass, um, let's do that. So yeah, it's back on those
times fondly. You know. That'sa conversation that Brandon Valentine had with hail
(22:25):
Storm when they were about to playat the York Fare a couple of years
ago, right before they got theirinduction. You got to go on stage
and induct them into the Central PennsylvaniaMusic Hall of Fame. That's right,
super awesome experience doing that. Um, they had me come out. The
difficulty with that really was they useI don't know for those musicians out there
that know, you know, sometimesthere are stage monitors that kind of blast
(22:47):
your instruments and your vocals back toyou so you can hear everything. But
the pros they usually use in earmonitors. That means they have virtually you
know, like air pods. Um, but they're they're fitted to your ear.
Oh yeah, in there so youcan hear everything. Right, So
there was no stage volume. Sohere I am standing up there, I
couldn't even hear what Lizzie was saying. The crowd screaming, the crowd screaming,
(23:10):
right, she's she's talking to meinto a microphone, but it's going
out the PA towards the crowd,and it's going into the into their in
ear monitors, and it I can'thear anything on stage. But nonetheless,
it was great um able to inductthem, read their plaque, present them
with an award on stage, andthey were gracious enough on stage to do
a celebratory shot with me as well. We were able to have some some
(23:34):
fine whiskey and uh, you know, raise a glass to uh their big
moment in celebrating them of being aCentral Pennsylvania Music Hall of Famers. That's
super cool. And here they aretalking about uh, one of the bands
that influenced them and kind of helpedgive them their start, seven Dust.
Here's I'll give it to r Jdud. Dude. There's there's one band
(23:55):
that did it for us. Whenmy sister and I and Joe was just
you just joined the and when thishappened. But we uh we heard seven
US was playing at the Chameleon Cluband we just showed up. We didn't
have tickets, We couldn't afford tickets. We were we were really you know
not you know, didn't really havecouldn't really afford it back then. Um,
but uh, we just we didn'treally know how it worked because we
(24:15):
never experienced it. But and nowwe know what it's like being a headliner
and having people just wait outside yourbus and um, you know, we
just stood outside their bus and uh, we hadn't knocked on the door,
which I know we knocked on thedoor. Yeah, we didn't know.
We didn't know what the protocol was. So and they come out and LeJean
comes out, and uh LeJean,Morgan and Clint were hanging in there and
(24:38):
uh and they were like, hey, what's up. Like, Hi,
we're a band, and they're like, oh, cool, come on in.
They let us in their bus.They gave us some sodas and some
waters we were too young to drink, and they gave us backstage passes.
We gave them our little demo andwe're like cool, cool cool. And
then we go and we're side stagewaiting for them to start, and they
literally start playing one of the songsfrom our CD PIA system. Before that,
(25:00):
we're just like what the We're justfreaking out, like this is incredible,
