Oh Lord, now you're bringing up some old stuff here, now, man,
you know that's uh Seven.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Day Hayes always always makes an appearing.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Deep down inside, even though we're not releasing music, still,
I'm still a little bit of rock and roll.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So just to put it in in in context. You
were a part of a band called Seven Day Hayes.
It was the earliest band that I could find that
you were a part of, and I just wanted to
bring it up because I felt like it was the
days when you write unc Charlotte.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
It was. It was like right toward the tail end
of my college days.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
There after I, you know, finally got out of playing
bars and breweries. I put together a rock and roll
band and we we kind of started right at the
beginning of COVID, so it was tough. We did it
a few years, and you know, it was a lot
of fun, and then I put my first country record
out and I ain't went back since.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
So well, you actually can really sing. We hung out
with you and your gorgeous wife at Dell Junior's and
I just remember you singing a song a cappella like
the artist is playing the guitar, and I'm like, is
there any song you can't sing? You're like Luke Colmes.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You know, I've got I've got an almanac of words
in my head from every song that I that I know.
I got a pretty good memory, and I don't know
how I memory all the words. And it's funny because
I'll get on the stage sometimes and I'll tell my guys,
I'm like, yo, I forgot the first word of this song.
Just let me know the first word and I'll take
it from there.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
And every time you see Austin, there's one thing about
Austin that no matter what day you see him, when
he's performing, he is going to have the biggest smile
on his face. You're always smiling.
Speaker 2 (02:21):

wearing dental. I've never seen him in anything but dental.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well, listen, it might be a little too hot to
wear denim Saturday, you know, it might be more of
a PFG and type vibe. But I'm sure we have
some dinnim moment because I always wear boots.
