Speaker 1 (01:08):
The weather's not going to be bad, I know will
probably eighty six eighty seven degrees, but as the night
goes along, it's going to get cooler and sitting under
that tree going to be a great night of live music. So, Jesse,
what made you get into music?

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh? Well, I just always loved music. When I was
a little kid, I used to get out my parents
pots and pans and play the drums on them, and
then started playing saxophone at Blanco's school when I was
in sixth grade.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Wow, well you bust out? Do you ever bust out
the saxophone during a live show? Yep?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
I still play it on every show.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Oh do you really? Wow? That's pretty cool. Then awesome.
So and you said do you write your own music?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Then yeah, we have a lot of original stuff. We
have a few albums out. We're always working on more
original songs and then always writing stuff.
