Speaker 1 (08:14):
You know, there'll be some people on your social media
going Chad's playing a Republican event. Okay with that? You're
okay with that?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Oh yeah, if you followed me in my career at all,
my high horse of the song that had that that
was a radio single a few years back. That song
landed me number sixteen in the world as an independent artist,
and that song is pretty republican.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
So if you check that out. Yeah, yeah, I want
to talk to you here for a second chat about
your arc of career because you've played in these big events,
thousands of screaming people and you played for like one
drunk who was not even conscious have done that? Right? Yeah?
So what's what's kind of what's the what's the what's
(08:58):
what's the high and low? Then for your career? Oh,
I don't know. I'll start with the high, Like, what
if you had a chance to do as an American
singer songwriter that you were up there and you're trying
to remember the words of your song because you just
can't believe that you get a chance to be a
part of this really cool thing.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I think that one of the coolest things I can
think of. I mean, I've done obviously done a lot
of a lot of big shows. I was actually in
the first act to ever play at the Quest Center
when the Quest Center opened, I moved here from Nashville.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I didn't know. I didn't know that. What did they
do with the Quest Center that you were one of
the first up there.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I was actually a guitar player for the opening act
for Grand Funk Railroad.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Grand Funk Open Quest Center Ever. Yeah, that was.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
That was kind of cool. Anyways, you know, there's been
a lot of cool, cool events. One that really sticks
out in my mind was me and my guitar player
did a did a show with Dirk Spentley.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
It was Dirk s.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Bentley Live on CMT CMT Live. Yeah, that was really
cool and it's a great show, like nine thousand people,
you know, and Dirk's was even doing acoustic, you know,
him and his couple of.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Guys, and it was pretty cool. Yeah, yeah, that was
That was kind of a cool show. But yeah, you know,
what about on the other side of the spectrum when
you were like, what am I doing with my life? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
That's that's the other you know, four or five nights
of the week every week.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Was there is there one moment that sticks out where
you're up there playing and you're just thinking, what, what
in the heck am I doing?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I can't think of one moment, and there's been plenty.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I was playing with the band in Kansas City and
everyone was kind of on one end of the room
and there was some space if people wanted to get
up in front of the stage. And at this point
the only people in front of the stage were like
three kids, and two of them had their fingers in
their ears. Yeah. I guess we were a little loud. Yeah, hey,
they they're the ones that told us to play.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Why that's why my aunts were when the fram of
Union's ants were sit in front of.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
