(05:03):
is here as well at the news table and let's see.
Let me get these mics up here, because we got
the guys here. We gotta got a full room here.
We got all five guys here. I think we should
let's do this first. Let's start in the corner and
we'll go around and have you each introduce yourselves and
tell us what you do in the band, and we'll
start with you over here.
Speaker 10 (05:23):
Sir, Hi, my name is Chris Volpi Elvin, Hollis, and
I'm keys and blues harp.
Speaker 9 (05:29):
Okay, welcome Chris, and.
Speaker 10 (05:30):
You Rob McAlpine, Chester, New Hampshire, drums, vocals, percussion.
Speaker 9 (05:35):
Okay, welcome and you hey, do what.
Speaker 11 (05:37):
I'm Joe Birch and I play lead guitar and the
only guitar.
Speaker 9 (05:41):
Okay, all right, very good? And you, Oh, Eric, hang on,
I'm sorry. For some reason I cannot hear you. What's mike?
Let me turn this up now, I got you. I
guess got it. Why is this so quiet? We planned
it that way. This is quieter than usual. Oh think
I found you?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Check one too, I gotcha.
Speaker 9 (06:02):
There we go. There you are all right.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I'm Eric McIntyre. I'm also from Hollis, New Hampshire, and
I play bass, lead singer and kind of band manager.
Speaker 9 (06:10):
Okay, Oh you got your hands full? Yeah, and you, sir.
Speaker 12 (06:15):
I play the tenor sacks and also alto and baritone.
Speaker 9 (06:18):
Okay, And from hollist as well. So your name again,
I didn't quite have Drew Arthur, Drew Arthur, all right,
welcome Drew all right. So well it was wonderful that
Now is there anybody else who's who participates in the
band who isn't here or is it because.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
We have a sound guy, Kevin Kirsted Okay, so he
comes with us and helps produce our sound, comes to
our practice every now and then, typically in our rehearsal
space at Big Bear I'm down in Brookline. We do
most of our own mixing. Yeah, while we're practicing and rehearsing, okay,
but for gigs, it's nice to have somebody out in
the field.
Speaker 9 (06:47):
Yeah, so yeah, absolutely, Yeah, that's something a lot of
bands don't have, is kind of a dedicated sound guy,
because you know, you're you gotta play. You go to
play these places, especially if you're playing a new place, right,
you're kind of at the mercy of whoever's there. Yeah,
I mean we do, like obviously, we prefer to play
places that have a dedicated sound system and a sound
(07:08):
engineer so we don't have to lug our pa.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I mean, I think every band's dream so as we
grow it's obviously one of the things that we like
to do. But there's also gigs like Panucci's Alehouse in
Nashua where we have to bring our own stuff and
we want to pay homage to that were their first
ones to give us a gig back in the day,
so we always made we always circle back there every
(07:31):
year or two at least to play one Gigah. We
just love playing downtown Nasha as well.
Speaker 9 (07:36):
Oh yeah, absolutely no, it's wonderful there, very good. So
now tell us about that song live for Live music.
How long has that been out?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Well, we really Oh no, it's actually been out. It
got released on June twenty eighth out into the streaming web,
so it's pretty much available. Ok We we wrote it
this winter. I think we started on it in February
and it was really Druze kind of vision to come
up with it, and he wrote kind of really the
chord progression and what we're gonna do, although it's I
(08:07):
think it's a two chord song, so it's not a
huge progression.
Speaker 12 (08:09):
Well okay, it's it's started off as kind of a
play for if if you ask Alexa to play a
song on Spotify, Yeah, if you ask her to play
Jimmy Hendrix, It'll say live at Fillmore East, and so
I kept feeling like, I love that play on Live
for Live for and so kind of we're riffing on
that a little bit and then and then you know,
this is the great thing about playing with this band
is you come with just a couple of chords and
(08:31):
and it's there's really no predefined Hey, you've got to
play this part or you got to play that part.
It's let's just see what comes out of it, starting
with a riff. And so we we did that once
and then then Eric and I just kind of hooked
up on some of the lyrics and next thing I know,
we had we had the full song.
Speaker 9 (08:44):
Oh that's cool. I always say, too, when when it
when it comes easy like that, right, that's how you
know you've really got something. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
The the music just tells me what to write, because
I wrote the lyrics in this song with some of
Drew's foundation, and the other guy's really produced a lot
of the music side of it.
Speaker 9 (09:02):
Yeah, we wrote it.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
It's actually a love story about kind of our cheating
rock and roll love story. I should say, if you
listen to what. I go to the show with my girlfriend.
Then I end up meeting this girl behind the stages
in the band and then having kids and coming back
in the circle. So my girlfriend, I didn't think, is
very impressed with the song. But I didn't even realize
that when I was writing it. It just flowed. The
(09:25):
music told me what to put on paper, and we
kicked it around at a rehearsal and practice a few
times and realized, yeah, let's let's get this in the studio.
Speaker 9 (09:32):
Kind of like your own version of uh love the
one you're with right, Yeah, Yeah, we like the Isley
Brothers version.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Got killer groove to it, right, But yeah, speaking coming
back to the Range, that's I don't know if you
guys have ever been there before, but it's an outdoor
venue in Mason, New Hampshire.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
I've heard a lot about it.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
It's just the place is magical. It's family run and
we we love playing there for their cruise nights. Yeah,
our date this year got rained out, but we've been
there a couple time in the past few years and
I go to shows there a lot. And it's right
down the road from my house in Hollis and it's
in the middle of the Woods, and like I said,
it's magical, so we wanted to write a story. Yeah,
(10:12):
I love story about it, and that's that's what came out.
Speaker 9 (10:15):
Yeah. Yeah, very cool. So how long has jam Demick
been around cause I assume it hasn't been the same
lineup the entire time the band is, or maybe it has,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
We've had a couple different iterations. We had a previous drummer,
Chris McCartney, that kind of got us started. I think
we started shortly before COVID. It was probably twenty nineteen,
end of twenty nineteen around. I always have parties at
my house because I live on the lake in Hollis, Yeah,
and I've always you know, Joe's played there several times
with his band, So I was always hiring bands to
(10:45):
come and play and selling tickets and having people in
the backyard, yeah, tents and food trucks and it was just,
you know, a big event. And every time I'd go
to hire a band, it's more and more money for
a PA. And I figured, you know what, wouldn't it
be great to have my own PA and my own band.
And I had dabbled with bass a little bit and
then after one of the open mics that we did
kind of at my house jam parties during Halloween. I
(11:08):
thinks's Chris came down and played some harp. Joe was
playing guitar. There was the electronic drum kit in the corner. Yeah,
and I think that started the juices flowing. And then
Chris's wife sent a message to me and said, hey,
Chris had a great time playing music. You guys should
start a band.
Speaker 11 (11:25):
Yeah, that was the end. That was the beginning of it.
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, and then Covid hit and you know, we we
really kind of had to take a year off. Yeah,
talked a lot about what to do, but maybe not
a year. But we we would separate in the backyard
by fifty feet with you know, fifty foot xl R cables. Yeah,
it was a little ridiculous, and that's where the name came.
Speaker 9 (11:48):
So yeah, so I wondered about that.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah, to play on the pandemic and our first actual
band name was Covid Operations And that lasted about ten
minutes and then we realized that's not something we ever
want to have in a band. You know how band
practices go. There were other influences in the room.
Speaker 9 (12:06):
I love I love hearing about rejected band names.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
That's ally So yeah, that was it, that one uh
that we thought that was pretty pretty catchy. And then
our old keyboard player, Nick George's came up with jam Demic.
We're just kicking ideas around one night and that was
just in passing and I jumped on it, and Facebook
slash jamdemic was available, jamdemic dot com was available, so
(12:29):
we just embraced it. And the nice thing about that
is we're the only band in the world jam Demic.
You we show up no matter where you are, and
it's nice to have something original like that.
Speaker 9 (12:39):
Yeah, that's That's important when picking a band name is
is you know, coming up with something that's that's you're
not gonna find out, oh, you know, ten other bands
already have this name.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And yeah, I think the key to finding a band
name now is to buy one of those magnetic poetry
kits and you throw it on the fridge and you
take all the connecting words off, and you put all
the nouns on and you just picked three of them
and and there's your band names.
Speaker 11 (13:01):
Good for lyric writing too, Well.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
That's what Tom Petty did. I heard they wrote a
whole album based on one of those magnetic kits Relliant. Yeah,
I don't know what album it was, but I read
that somewhere recently online that they wrote a whole album
based on one of those kits. Every song is based
on one of those magnetic kits. Just by taking the
shows goes to show you how much of a master
(13:24):
Tom Petty was as a lyricist. Right to be able
to write all that, right, that's impressive.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
So when you guys, you probably these songs, I would
imagine they do. They change when you play them live,
Like a song like live for live music. If I
were to hear you live, it's not gonna sound exactly
like that, right, because it seems like it kind of
gives you some freedom to, you know, if you want
to play it longer, if you want to extend the
solo or something.
Speaker 13 (13:48):
Yeah, a song like that, definitely it has some space
in the middle where you can take off and just
bring it to somewhere else. And that's what we like
to do, kind of like as the name, like you know, jams,
but we can just jam and see.
Speaker 11 (14:02):
Where it goes.
Speaker 9 (14:03):
Yeah, a lot of improv I can imagine. Yeah, yeah,
I can imagine. So a song like that, so obviously
you know the length that it is the studio version,
it's is good for radio. But I mean, and that's
like how long does a song like that get when
you play it live? Does it pass like six seven minutes?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Or it can?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I mean I would say some of our extended cuts
of different things can go up to ten minutes. Yeah,
like we like a lot of Jerry band stuff as well. Yeah,
like what that's what Leve will make you do, and
that can just go solo after solo and just change
your tone a little bit on you know, like Jerry
used to do, or Drew will change his tone on
the sacks and yeah, Chris will go round on keys
(14:46):
and then he'll pick up the harmonica.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I just sit back and watch, yeah, and it's it's nice.
But yeah, I would say it depends on also the
gig that we're doing, Yeah, and looking at the crowd
and kind of I guess that's all decisions that we
make on the fly.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
Sure, sure, so you really know.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
It's it's kind of an open uh an open book.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
But it's important right to play with people who you
kind of have. It becomes kind of intuitive right when
you're I'm fascinated by because I've been in a lot
of bands, but I was never in a band where
you kind of had that sort of freedom.
Speaker 10 (15:19):
To Yeah, so that's that's that's the tricky thing, right.
It's it's this opportunity to express yourself and and to
and to go on flights. But you have to do
coordination too, right, You've got to be able to communicate.
And I think it's something that a lot of bands
probably aspire to, and I know we are constantly aspiring
to be a better jam band. Yeah, it's not something
(15:40):
that necessarily just happens. You have to You kind of
have to plan for it and then sort of step
away and let it happen. It's tricky. So yeah, you know,
so writing a writing a song like like libal live music,
we we we knew that. Okay, we want this to
be a jam song. We want to we want to
field in areas where this can just take we can
(16:03):
just take it for a ride. Yeah, And what Eric's
talking about passing around solos is great, but then sometimes
there'll be a synergy and two guys will lock onto
something and it starts. You can start taking it somewhere else. Yeah,
and that's when it gets really fun.
Speaker 9 (16:17):
Yeah, I can imagine. So does it ever go wrong?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Does it?
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Yeah? Yeah, it takes a lot of fine tuning.
Speaker 13 (16:25):
Yeah, but without taking that chance, you can't, you know,
maybe come up with something great, right, right, And it's
nice when it pays off and something really walks in.
Speaker 10 (16:33):
Yeah, And it's just fun too. It's kind of like
when it when it crash. If it crashes, you're kind
of like, oh, well it didn't work, but that was
really fun trying, right, you know. Yeah, it's not the
end of the world. Yeah, the song doesn't stop.
Speaker 11 (16:45):
Bob Ross's a happy accident, right right, right.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
And if you're and if you're playing original music in
front of a crowd, I mean, they don't they don't
necessarily know, right exactly, they don't know. They don't know
that didn't quite work.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
It's one of the best things about original music. When
you're paying playing a cover, you know, I mean I
like to play covers the way they should be played,
and Chris likes to add a personal flare to it,
and I always like to stick somewhat rigid, so you know,
we we bounce back and forth on that. But I
think some of the covers we do, you know, people
expect it to be that way, and any mistake is
(17:17):
a glaring mistake. Usually you know, that was only a
half away from the right note. You know, things like that.
It just people will notice it. But then again, as
a musician, most people don't notice it in the crowd, right,
they're drinking, they're chatting. Right, You shouldn't worry about that
stuff because it happens everybody.
Speaker 9 (17:35):
Yeah, I just feel like with covers too, I see,
I like it if it's not exactly you know. My
thing is if I want to listen to the original,
I can go listen to the original, like I want
to hear your interpretation of it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 10 (17:48):
More interesting?
Speaker 9 (17:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Sometimes I think as a as the lead singer or
a singer, I want to sing it that way. Yeah,
And it's it's because it's locked in my head. It
allows me to produce it better because I've I've got that.
And then the reason I like the song is because
of the way they sang it. That little bass riff
or whatever riff was in there. So I think, paying
make sure make sure some of that's in there for me.
(18:12):
But again, that's kind of what's nice about it. Chris
is the ying and I'm the yang.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
And you'll always be pulling away from that.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Oh yeah, just the way it is. And then there's
a compromise. We're a democratic band, so we vote on
a lot of stuff, right, is nobody's decision. You know,
I might lay an idea out there, but we will
vote on it and majority wins.
Speaker 11 (18:31):
Yeah, yeah, something We're working on him.
Speaker 10 (18:35):
You know, he's coming along right, right.
Speaker 9 (18:39):
What what what do you guys do for covers? Because
I always think, you know, you can kind of figure
out about someone's influences by what they cover, right, Like,
what do you guys? What do you guys do for covers?
Speaker 10 (18:48):
All right? My favorite cover is the other one by
Grateful Dead. We just love that thing because it's so
it's you can take that anywhere. Yeah, so that's my
favorite cover to play.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Well, what's yours one of my favorites as well.
Speaker 10 (19:02):
That has a lot of decent drums in it.
Speaker 11 (19:04):
Yeah, like that one.
Speaker 13 (19:07):
This is Joe speaking, but that one's way out in
you know, left field, but which is which is fine
to do that, but I sometimes try to ground it
a little bit. My influences were like Hendrix and you know,
bluesy guitarist things. But but you also use that type
of style on top of a like a psychedelic groove
like like that one. Yeah, and I think it kind
(19:29):
of like homes hondes it in a little bit and
rounds it. Yeah, and but I can I could get.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
Out there too, you know, which is a lot of fun.
Speaker 9 (19:37):
Sure, sure, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
We play a lot of dead covers. I mean, I
love trucking and things. But I think some of our
favorite new recent ones that we've been doing is Light
Up or Leave Me Alone by Traffic. I really enjoy
that one. Yeah, It's just such a great song and
I love to sing it. It's just something about Jim
Vivaldi's voice on that. A lot of people think it
was Stephen Winwood singing it, but it's not.
Speaker 9 (19:59):
Yeah, I don't. I don't think I even realized.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah it's Vivaldi. It's the other guy in the band.
Oh and it's just uh, I love singing that song
and something about it, you know, you get to really
get in on it.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
We do a Long Way to the Top by a
c D. I mean, that's a lot of fun. We
haven't played that in.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
A year or two.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I also really like one of the songs Joe brought
in them changes by Buddy Miles, Yeah with you know,
made famous by Jimmy Hendricks. Of course. It's just he's
just such a good front front man showman on that
and great guitar work. It's just a lot of fun
to play.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Now when you so, when you guys play out, you
you probably do long shows, right, like you'll do I
can imagine, right, you play a long set probably like
you're you don't seem like a band that's gonna get
up and do a thirty minute you know.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Now we'll go over an hour hour and up to
an hour and a half. Yeah, a few minute break
usually play Yeah, two long sets yeah for the most part.
Depends on really what the venue wants as well. Yeah,
they'll dictate, or we're doing a private party, we could
play for two two and a half hours straight.
Speaker 11 (21:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (21:02):
That's one thing when I go in and see a band,
it's just always inevitable that I walk in and the
band takes a break right away. Yeah, and it's like
they don't you don't see him for like twenty five minutes. Yeah,
and you know, and then then it's time, you know,
we'll go on somewhere else. But it's nice when yeah,
a band is there to play and they just yeah
deliver the.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
Oh absolutely in music because when bands take breaks to
it's never as long as you know, it always ends
up being much longer than what it's supposed to be. Yeah,
you know, like we're going to take a ten minute
break and then you know, a half hour later there finally, yeah,
they're getting back up there. Yeah, now tell us about this.
So this other track, So we we played Live for
(21:43):
Live Music to open the show, But you've got this
other song that that I think we should play in
a moment. But this is already getting some airplay on radio.
You're already getting traction with this one.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Well, we got traction with Live for lad Music. As
I said, it was played on another major station on Boston.
Oh the new but the new one is not be
and played.
Speaker 11 (22:01):
This will be.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
This will be a world radio premiere if you choose
to play took Me Down. And that's ironically that's another
love story. I think that's a whole nother story in itself.
Because I tend to write lyrics that are based on
tragic love stories or just maybe how much I had
to drink the night before old college, you know, just
more drug sex and rock and roll. And yeah, Chris
(22:24):
is the other writer, and he tends to write songs
that are just much more in depth and thoughtful. Or
you know how many mushrooms it takes to get to
the fifth dimension?
Speaker 9 (22:36):
How many.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
We don't know, we're still researching, Okay, But so I
think it's just it's an interesting difference. And that's I
think also add some variety, but took me down as
as a reggae themed jam love story that I wrote
as well. These guys wrote the music I wrote.
Speaker 12 (22:55):
I wrote the lyrics, and you'll hear it in the song,
right this This is one of those songs when you
hear you go, okay, I can see where this this
band can go in a lot of different directions on
anyone given night. There's there's a lot of different places
this one can take off or come back to. And
and yeah, I think it's a it's a showcase for
us of of like I said, Eric's Eric's writing of
being able to come up with with lyrics to two
(23:15):
different jams we do. I mean, this was again one
that we literally, CHRISTI goes, why are we even thinking
about covering another song?
Speaker 9 (23:22):
Like, let's make our own original?
Speaker 12 (23:24):
And within within I think five minutes, we had a
good groove going going, we had we had a hook
we wanted to do, and within another practice it was okay,
we've got something.
Speaker 11 (23:32):
We've got something here.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
Yeah, oh very cool.
Speaker 11 (23:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:35):
I got to ask you, is there is there an
actual band named Tweezer?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
No?
Speaker 9 (23:38):
No, this is a fish reference. Oh this is the
you know, the infamous Tweezer. Oh okay, encore song. I
don't know if there was a Weezer.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Covering somewhere in the world. A band is writing that

Speaker 9 (23:52):
That's right, I hope, so, I hope. So all right,

Speaker 4 (29:46):
And talk me down.
Speaker 9 (30:41):
I love that. I didn't even want to talk over
the fade. That is called took Me Down. The band
is Jam Demick and we've got jan a Jam Demic
here in the studio with us, and that is called
took Me Down. And that is a world radio premiere
here on Matt Connorton Unleashed. Very honored to play that,
be the first ones to play that on the radio.
So now a great job, guys. I love that. Thank
you so much, really really good.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (31:02):
So tell us we're talking off here about where there
was recorded and you mentioned a name that comes up
a lot on the show.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Actually, yeah, Boardhouse Productions out of Brookline. So Pete, Mick
and Blake are the guys that had that place up
and he's you know, in Brookline, New Hampshire. And you know,
we are the resident band at a place called Big
Bear Lodge, which is part of Andrea's Art Institute. It's
an outdoor sculpture park and they have an events center
(31:29):
up there and we've had an opportunity to come in
and help them with their concerts, okay, and they're like, hey,
you can use the stage every week for your rehearsal.
So we it was great. We got all the gear
out of my house and moved it up over there,
so we get to rehearse on a stage. And just
turns out Pete lives right down the road from that
and Joe's played there before. Aerosmith that apparently has played there,
(31:52):
We're not quite sure roots of creation. Just a bunch
of Jay Giles band, a bunch of different people have
played there. So having having that connection, Pete came in
to help us with sound initially and donated a console,
a newer console and all the rolland console to help
the room kind of get a kick. We used our
PA gear for the band as the house stuff. Yeah,
(32:16):
And it was just that relationship with Pete developed, and
then when we were ready to start producing these originals,
that logical choice was to go down the road to
Pete studio. Boardhouse Productions.
Speaker 9 (32:26):
Yeah, yeah, Boardhouse. That name comes up a lot on
the show. And you mentioned a couple again when we
were talking off air Fox of the Flamingos that recorded there, right, and.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Yeah, Cosmic Blosso. He also does the sound for bad Fish,
which is a Sublime tribute band. He also does all
the productions or the majority of the man does sound
on the road for Roots of Creation Okay, which is
a real popular and grateful dub God bless those guys
have really made a big name for themself and in
(32:56):
this area and nationwide, really making a difference out there.
So I think what Cosmic Blossom, There's a bunch of
other bands that have come in and out of there
that my apologies for not remembering them all. Pete has
also worked I think with Peter Frampton, he did some
stuff with He worked with Warren Haynes. Yeah, a long
list of people, Yeah, Skinner and there's a long list
of people that Pete's worked with. Wow, that's you know,
(33:18):
it's just a logical choice to go there. And as
you've heard, we love it. Yeah, he really is a
master engineer.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
Yeah, And tell us about that song and what happens
towards the end there is that that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
That the little gnome dance. Yeah, thank you Pete for
inventing that.
Speaker 10 (33:32):
So, yeah, there's this is I think I'm guilty of
the numb dance yeah, maybe I am. I always always
I love those like kind of psychedelic little like ditties
that sometimes hear old old psychedelic songs, like some Floyd
songs like for instance, you know c Emily play there's
that weird little harpsichord thing that goes on if you're
(33:52):
familiar with that too. But anyway, so I don't know,
that's part of like my musical DNA's he's weird like renaissance,
he's psychedelic things. And so I started doing that, and
Joe immediately hurt and fell in with that. And that's
the magic that I loved. What happens when especially Joe
(34:12):
Joe jo key into something and it becomes more than
just a passing thought that I might have had. It
suddenly becomes part of the song.
Speaker 9 (34:20):
Yeah, and it fits, Yeah, it fits a little breakdown
fits perfectly. Yeah. Yeah, it's really cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
So in the studio when we played that, Pete got
up from behind the console and did this little called
it called it the Fairy Gnome Dance because it sounds
a little you know, medieval, yeah, psychedelic, and it's it's
it's just a different genre mix right into the reggae song. Yeah,
you know, it's weird, but.
Speaker 9 (34:42):
It works totally.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
So it's just kind of funny. We talk about a
week it's called the Gnome Dance, part of the Fairy Dance.
Speaker 11 (34:48):
It's just funny.
Speaker 9 (34:49):
Yeah, that's that's awesome. I love it and you should
tell us you more about your involvement a Big Bear.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Yeah. So, as I said, with a resident band over there,
and we helped produce the shows. I mean, I'm the
one of the audio engineers, if you want to use
that term loosely. I'm fairly new to all this stuff
really obviously mix it all with my band, so I
understand how to get the best sound out. My ears
tell me what to do, but Pete has shown me
a ton also Willie Walker from a band called the
(35:15):
Mighty Colors. They've played with us at Big Bear. So
we started an annual benefit over there for Earth Day.
So we go in, we played for free. We pulled
in the Mighty Colors. They played for free, and we
sold tickets to the event and packed the room and
made you know, Andrea's Institute, the nonprofit, a couple thousand dollars,
and beaver Brook as well made a little bit of money,
(35:38):
which is an environmental cause, so that was our goal
is to raise and we just wanted to play in
the room. That opportunity of us setting that benefit up
now was a yearly opportunity. So last year we pulled
in a morphous band with one of the original New
England jam band guys, Peter Prince and Peter Prince in.
Speaker 6 (35:57):
Moon Boot Lover.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Moon Boot Lover wasn't there, but Peter was just an
amazing guitar player, singer, just unbelievable stage presence. Yeah, total
rock star and his list of accolades just goes on
and on and on. So having us being able to
pull that show off, we ended up being asked to hey,
do you want to help run shows and produce? So
(36:18):
all we've done is try to help you push the
technology over there, get better, get better console, better equipment,
better lighting. So I install all DMX lighting, concert lighting,
did all the got new parts of the stage really
kind of the stage and sound manager and lighting guy
over there, and it's been wonderful for networking. We've been
(36:39):
able to network with you know, the Soggy Pull boys
were just standing there. Recently have put you a feather
in my cap for mixing them, and thank God for
Willy from the Mighty Colors came in and helped me out.
So he was lead, and I'll take a one engineer
stage hand that day. And yeah, there's other guys that
are willing to help, so they come in and I'll
either have them be lead on the console or or
(37:00):
I'll be lead and they'll it's just a great relationship.
No one gets paid, but being able to have the
room and what it's done for just our stage presence
and everything has been it's been instrumental.
Speaker 13 (37:12):
It's an old ski lodge actually from oh really yeah,
used to be Musket Mountain or Big Bear really been
a couple of different names, but I remember skiing there
when I was a kid, and yeah, it's like an
old you know, cathedral ceiling. It's a great hall, great
sound in there and just a you know, very vintage
feel too.
Speaker 9 (37:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Probably one of the best sounding rooms in New Hampshire
without a doubt, just because of all the wood. And
we're looking at upgrading the PA equipment pretty soon so
I can get my stuff out of there and getting
a really really nice system that's going to arrival almost
any PA in southern New Hampshire.
Speaker 9 (37:45):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
So we have a really also close relationship with Metronome Studios.
They're right in Brookline as well. We don't record there,
but they also produce all the lighting and video up
at Guildford for a bank in New Hampshire. Having those
guys and they've been coming to help us out with
a little bit of sound. We just put a brand
new Barringer Wing forty eight channel console and Digital Snakes
(38:08):
really upgrading everything so it's got the best sound and
they've come in and helped me configure it. Pete came
in for five or six hours the other day on
no charge at all to help us configure this stuff.
So it's kind of like a family atmosphere. And it's
it's because this place is in a nonprofit and it's
a free outdoor sculpture park that anybody can come at
any time, open three hundred and sixty five days a year.
(38:31):
But the Welcome Center has this amazing performance venue and
they run concerts to try to get funds in to
raise money for their nonprofit. It's a good yin yang relationship.
I love it and it really helped the band out.
Speaker 10 (38:43):
Yeah, it has, and a lot of people don't know
about it because it went from being this skilage and
this entertainment, you know kind of venue that then switched
to a more that nonprofit than the artists thick side.
The Sculpture Park is amazing. It's all outdoors on these
(39:06):
trails and mountains on the mountain, and they have a
residency program where these sculptures come from all over the
world and spend whatever what like six weeks three weeks,
and they're given a stone right or whatever medium they
metal and they create work that then lives at the site.
(39:28):
And so what Eric's done is kind of brought this
closer to the community by reviving the sort of local
connection that Big Bear used to have for like local
music and people just going there to enjoy music. So
it's kind of a new a symbiotic relationship. I think
it's been great for both parties.
Speaker 11 (39:49):
Really has Yeah.
Speaker 9 (39:50):
Oh that's fantastic. Yeah, that's great. That's great.
Speaker 10 (39:52):
And where is that?
Speaker 1 (39:53):
So that's in Brookline, brook Line, New Hampshire, right across
from the Alamo, which is a little barbecue restaurant.
Speaker 9 (39:59):
Okay, okay cool. Eric's done a great job decking the
place out with video.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Also, Oh really, uh yeah, it's really nice. So we
have we just put in a ten ADP stage camera
very much like yours there, so coming in the ceiling
and we Dave Peas who's a volunteer over there also
works for Pepperal Community Media. He's our video guy. He
comes in has four ten ADP cameras or three ten
ADP plus the stage camera that I just installed, and
(40:25):
we have a video aggregator. So for shows we'll actually
record all the stems on the digital console, all the
wave files from every every channel, and we'll also have
all this awesome video and then we're pitching that back
to the bands because it's great for promo, right, having
(40:45):
really good quality all the different cuts, and that helps
us defer our costs from every concert make a little
bit of money back. So it's really reasonable and it's
so far it's been good. Some of the bands have
wanted to do that. And now for us, every practice
we get it for free. So I'm sticking the the
SD card in we can record every practice. I then
bring it home, pulled into to reaper our daw and
(41:08):
then we put it up on Google Drive so we
can hear our progress every week and our whole history
is up there that we can go back on and
look at our catalog and run a spreadsheet of everything.
It's you know, I'm I'm pretty anal about that.
Speaker 11 (41:21):
Eric's the technical guy.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
I do all the social media. I do all the booking,
all the promoll, everything that that is frontward facing is
me because that's what I do for a living. I'm
you know, I do digital marketing and kow and websites
and stuff.
Speaker 12 (41:38):
So if you've ever seen Semi Pro with Will Ferrell,
he's a character in that called Jackie Moon.
Speaker 9 (41:44):
Jackie Moon is you know, the he's the he's the
you know, star player, he's the coach, he's the owner.
Speaker 12 (41:50):
And so a lot of times I refer to Eric
as our Jackie Moon because he's in the band, he's
our manager, he's you know, the number one sound engineer.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Right.
Speaker 12 (42:01):
But but you know, honestly, that the breakthrough for us,
right having that access to that space at Big Bear,
having that as a space, you know, set up and
dedicated for us to be able to utilize that was
I think a big breakthrough for us, and being able
to work on original material because like we talked about, right,
it's it's it's not the first idea, that's the best idea.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
Right.
Speaker 12 (42:19):
It's like Chris said, he puts that you know idea out,
Joe latches onto it, Drew latches onto it, Rob what
and it becomes something you didn't ever intend to in
the beginning. And so just you know, by virtue of
having some time and space in our calendars over the winter,
Eric wi always.
Speaker 9 (42:33):
Make sure everything we do is recorded.
Speaker 11 (42:35):
I hear it from him.
Speaker 12 (42:36):
If I turn off that mic for ten seconds, I
hear about it the next ye But then allows us
to go back through and go, oh that really worked.
Speaker 9 (42:41):
Oh we could piece these together.
Speaker 12 (42:43):
Hey, let's work on developing this one a little bit more,
and you make progress in a really, you know, much
quicker fashion than if you just try to you know,
go in and hammer it out over over five to
six hours, right, just kind of organically let it build.
Come back to it each week and see what. See
what comes you know, comes naturally.
Speaker 9 (42:57):
To Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, No, that's great. That's
that's really cool that you guys have that. Now, what's
what's kind of the are you playing a lot of shows?
Have you been playing a lot of shows over the summer,
or what's kind of been.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
Usually take a break in June July or really I
think the end of June was our last show, okay,
and then we usually take July off. Everybody's on vacation.
It's a nightmare. Try to do all our booking in February, March,
and April.
Speaker 9 (43:22):
Oh year, oh really, and then.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
We'll leave a couple of weekends open and some benefit
or festival or something might come up and we've done.
Like last year, we had a wedding and I can
show this. This is the Camp Paul poster.
Speaker 9 (43:35):
So yeah, yeah, we do.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
Uh, we do custom posters and stuff for special events.
And these people wanted to have a jam wedding, isn't it.
So they ended up hiring hiring us to play this
wedding festival.
Speaker 9 (43:49):
Feel did you draw it yourself?
Speaker 3 (43:51):
But you.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Guys talking about AI, right, I don't have a graphic artist,
so we end up using some AI And then I'm
a little bit I'm dany just with the graphic art.
So I'll get in there and I'll do we'll touch
up and obviously make all of the the wording and
the lettering. I really do like how that you can
tell AI is amazing for drawing stuff. But it can't
spell at all, Like it'll take me a hundred times
(44:16):
to get it to spell this, even though I put
it in quotes and tell it what to do. You know,
obviously this is a Chris is an artist, right, so
that we have this discussion all the time. You know,
it is his art getting stolen, and then if I
ask it to paint a tar painting or something, is
his art going to show up one day on a poster.
(44:36):
But yet for a band it we don't You don't know.
We don't have any money to put much towards this week.
We have an expensive PA and we put everything we
have in our time, But I can't hire a graphic
artist at our small size forever doing Northlands or something
we get picked for the side stage. Yeah, I'll hire
somebody to actually draw a real poster. Sure, But AI
has helped us out tremendously to get that promo out there.
Speaker 10 (44:57):
Okay, oh cool, all right, no, no shame man. I
think that AI is great for stuff like that. It's perfect,
you know, because you're not asking it to replace, you know,
a great artist. You just want an awesome marketing image.
That's what Hey, guy's freaking great at.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Exactly who originally drew.
Speaker 10 (45:16):
This, No, nobody. It's probably it's a composite, man.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
So that's what I don't know if we know, no
it is.
Speaker 10 (45:22):
It's not just taken from somebody. It's a composite that's
been taken from many places.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
I hope. So that's the only thing that I worry about.
Speaker 11 (45:30):
What it will take everything eventually.
Speaker 10 (45:34):
Yeah, but here's the thing. It'll never be as creative
as human beings are.
Speaker 1 (45:39):
Right right, Yeah, No, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
You know it.
Speaker 10 (45:43):
If it comes down to it taking my image and
putting it on something, why does that bother me? Because
I think I'm owed something for that image. I personally
don't feel that way. That's business. That's not art. That's
what you do as a you know, for a job.
I make images, But that's not really that's not great art.
(46:05):
That's not pulling something from your soul, right, And AI
doesn't have a soul to pull from, right. If anything,
I would see it's not going to And what I
would always see is that stuff's advertisement for my art.
Like even people like putting their pictures of their paintings
online and they put big copyright signs and stuff. Who cares, right,
I'd somebody who wasn't going to see or buy your
(46:25):
art anyway, and you're onto the next painting, and you know,
guess what, You've actually got free advertising? Right, I don't
see a problem.
Speaker 9 (46:33):
That's a good way.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
You're an artist too, so you know what I mean.
That means a lot.
Speaker 9 (46:38):
It does, Yeah, it does.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
I just don't want to steal anybody's stuff yet, right.
I did plenty of that when I was a kid,
stealing from Microsoft and all those downloads, those games.
Speaker 9 (46:48):
Oh didn't we all didn't we all? Well, so we
are running out of time. I do want to make sure.
So now, do you have anything coming up?
Speaker 1 (46:57):
And do we have two gigs next week? Weekend? We're
doing the Roud and Bush Community Block Party in Westford, Massachusetts.
Speaker 9 (47:05):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
That's kind of a public event for the folks, the
fine folks of Westford, mass Okay. And that's a benefits
show that that we're going to help them do. And
then we're playing the Tiki Bar at Nashoba Valley on
the twenty third from eight to eleven. And then we
are the next show after that, I believe is Pinucci's
on September fourteenth. Excellent and that's on the deck right downtown,
(47:27):
which is going to be a fun show. I play
a lot of Grateful Day. We got a Manchester cuts,
concered conered cockered we do yeah, yeah, the old Thursday's
underground music.
Speaker 9 (47:37):
Stage, so it used to be a Manchester one.
Speaker 11 (47:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:39):
And then we're also playing Old Home Days in Hollis
on September twentieth, and then I think October tenth, we're
doing a private party in Milford. October eleventh, we're playing
Milford Pumpkin Fest along with you know, Fox and the
Flamingo Yeah, and all these other bands that are local
out of the area. Cosmic Blossom I think is also
playing excellent. It's just a great line up that weekend
(48:01):
of really good music.
Speaker 9 (48:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (48:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
And then I think Old Home Days that one good
Thing took Me Down. That's the release date for that song.
Speaker 9 (48:08):
It's perfect.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
It's kind of going to be your release party.
Speaker 9 (48:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
And there'll be a couple thousand people in the field,
and we're getting the sound professionally, professionally produced by AE Events,
so that's great. We don't have to lug our pa.
We'll have a professional stage, professional sound.
Speaker 9 (48:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (48:22):
But was here here.
Speaker 9 (48:27):
We appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
And again we appreciate everybody that's kind of given us
the support, and Pete for helping us get to that
next level, andres and Big Bear for giving us a
little opportunity as well, and for you right for for
having us in. Oh wonderful. We're honored, happy to do it.

we definitely will. We'll give them the world radio premiere treatment.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
Awesome.
Speaker 9 (48:58):
Absolutely. One under one other thing. Where is the best
place for people to go online to keep up with
everything that you're doing.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
You go to jamdemic dot com. Okay, and that's pretty
much the hub of all of our stuff. We'll be
doing a new website for that pretty soon because now
that we're out there on the streaming web, we've got
to really re rethink everything with these you know, the
radio shows and the radio event the other day. There's
a lot of new stuff that we've got to put
up there.
Speaker 10 (49:23):
Yeah, of course we do have a pretty active Facebook
page though, we do, and.
Speaker 1 (49:27):
We're on Instagram. We're on band camp and jam base
and bands in town pretty much everywhere. Yeah, you know,
you got to keep up on all that stuff, that's right.
Speaker 9 (49:37):
Yeah, it's a lot to keep up with. But yeah,
but yeah, you got.
Speaker 11 (49:40):
To do it.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
You got to do It's part of the deal. If
you want to grow and you want to get better gigs,
and you want to market yourself, you've got to market it.
And I think that's that's something that I'm starting to

Speaker 9 (04:39):
All right that has lived for live music. The band
is jam Demic and we've got the guys in studio
with us. We're going to speak with them in just
a moment. But welcome everybody. We have entered our number
three New Marrow trace of Matt Connorton unleashed. We are
live from the studios of wm NH ninety five point
three FM and Glorious Manchester, New Hampshire. If you are
listening live today Saturday, August sixteenth, twenty twenty five. Jenny
(05:03):
is here as well at the news table and let's see.
Let me get these mics up here, because we got
the guys here. We gotta got a full room here.
We got all five guys here. I think we should
let's do this first. Let's start in the corner and
we'll go around and have you each introduce yourselves and
tell us what you do in the band, and we'll
start with you over here.
Speaker 10 (05:23):
Sir, Hi, my name is Chris Volpi Elvin, Hollis, and
I'm keys and blues harp.
Speaker 9 (05:29):
Okay, welcome Chris, and.
Speaker 10 (05:30):
You Rob McAlpine, Chester, New Hampshire, drums, vocals, percussion.
Speaker 9 (05:35):
Okay, welcome and you hey, do what.
Speaker 11 (05:37):
I'm Joe Birch and I play lead guitar and the
only guitar.
Speaker 9 (05:41):
Okay, all right, very good? And you, Oh, Eric, hang on,
I'm sorry. For some reason I cannot hear you. What's mike?
Let me turn this up now, I got you. I
guess got it. Why is this so quiet? We planned
it that way. This is quieter than usual. Oh think
I found you?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Check one too, I gotcha.
Speaker 9 (06:02):
There we go. There you are all right.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I'm Eric McIntyre. I'm also from Hollis, New Hampshire, and
I play bass, lead singer and kind of band manager.
Speaker 9 (06:10):
Okay, Oh you got your hands full? Yeah, and you, sir.
Speaker 12 (06:15):
I play the tenor sacks and also alto and baritone.
Speaker 9 (06:18):
Okay, And from hollist as well. So your name again,
I didn't quite have Drew Arthur, Drew Arthur, all right,
welcome Drew all right. So well it was wonderful that
Now is there anybody else who's who participates in the
band who isn't here or is it because.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
We have a sound guy, Kevin Kirsted Okay, so he
comes with us and helps produce our sound, comes to
our practice every now and then, typically in our rehearsal
space at Big Bear I'm down in Brookline. We do
most of our own mixing. Yeah, while we're practicing and rehearsing, okay,
but for gigs, it's nice to have somebody out in
the field.
Speaker 9 (06:47):
Yeah, so yeah, absolutely, Yeah, that's something a lot of
bands don't have, is kind of a dedicated sound guy,
because you know, you're you gotta play. You go to
play these places, especially if you're playing a new place, right,
you're kind of at the mercy of whoever's there. Yeah,
I mean we do, like obviously, we prefer to play
places that have a dedicated sound system and a sound
(07:08):
engineer so we don't have to lug our pa.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I mean, I think every band's dream so as we
grow it's obviously one of the things that we like
to do. But there's also gigs like Panucci's Alehouse in
Nashua where we have to bring our own stuff and
we want to pay homage to that were their first
ones to give us a gig back in the day,
so we always made we always circle back there every
(07:31):
year or two at least to play one Gigah. We
just love playing downtown Nasha as well.
Speaker 9 (07:36):
Oh yeah, absolutely no, it's wonderful there, very good. So
now tell us about that song live for Live music.
How long has that been out?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Well, we really Oh no, it's actually been out. It
got released on June twenty eighth out into the streaming web,
so it's pretty much available. Ok We we wrote it
this winter. I think we started on it in February
and it was really Druze kind of vision to come
up with it, and he wrote kind of really the
chord progression and what we're gonna do, although it's I
(08:07):
think it's a two chord song, so it's not a
huge progression.
Speaker 12 (08:09):
Well okay, it's it's started off as kind of a
play for if if you ask Alexa to play a
song on Spotify, Yeah, if you ask her to play
Jimmy Hendrix, It'll say live at Fillmore East, and so
I kept feeling like, I love that play on Live
for Live for and so kind of we're riffing on
that a little bit and then and then you know,
this is the great thing about playing with this band
is you come with just a couple of chords and
(08:31):
and it's there's really no predefined Hey, you've got to
play this part or you got to play that part.
It's let's just see what comes out of it, starting
with a riff. And so we we did that once
and then then Eric and I just kind of hooked
up on some of the lyrics and next thing I know,
we had we had the full song.
Speaker 9 (08:44):
Oh that's cool. I always say, too, when when it
when it comes easy like that, right, that's how you
know you've really got something. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
The the music just tells me what to write, because
I wrote the lyrics in this song with some of
Drew's foundation, and the other guy's really produced a lot
of the music side of it.
Speaker 9 (09:02):
Yeah, we wrote it.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
It's actually a love story about kind of our cheating
rock and roll love story. I should say, if you
listen to what. I go to the show with my girlfriend.
Then I end up meeting this girl behind the stages
in the band and then having kids and coming back
in the circle. So my girlfriend, I didn't think, is
very impressed with the song. But I didn't even realize
that when I was writing it. It just flowed. The
(09:25):
music told me what to put on paper, and we
kicked it around at a rehearsal and practice a few
times and realized, yeah, let's let's get this in the studio.
Speaker 9 (09:32):
Kind of like your own version of uh love the
one you're with right, Yeah, Yeah, we like the Isley
Brothers version.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Got killer groove to it, right, But yeah, speaking coming
back to the Range, that's I don't know if you
guys have ever been there before, but it's an outdoor
venue in Mason, New Hampshire.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
I've heard a lot about it.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
It's just the place is magical. It's family run and
we we love playing there for their cruise nights. Yeah,
our date this year got rained out, but we've been
there a couple time in the past few years and
I go to shows there a lot. And it's right
down the road from my house in Hollis and it's
in the middle of the Woods, and like I said,
it's magical, so we wanted to write a story. Yeah,
(10:12):
I love story about it, and that's that's what came out.
Speaker 9 (10:15):
Yeah. Yeah, very cool. So how long has jam Demick
been around cause I assume it hasn't been the same
lineup the entire time the band is, or maybe it has,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
We've had a couple different iterations. We had a previous drummer,
Chris McCartney, that kind of got us started. I think
we started shortly before COVID. It was probably twenty nineteen,
end of twenty nineteen around. I always have parties at
my house because I live on the lake in Hollis, Yeah,
and I've always you know, Joe's played there several times
with his band, So I was always hiring bands to
(10:45):
come and play and selling tickets and having people in
the backyard, yeah, tents and food trucks and it was just,
you know, a big event. And every time I'd go
to hire a band, it's more and more money for
a PA. And I figured, you know what, wouldn't it
be great to have my own PA and my own band.
And I had dabbled with bass a little bit and
then after one of the open mics that we did
kind of at my house jam parties during Halloween. I
(11:08):
thinks's Chris came down and played some harp. Joe was
playing guitar. There was the electronic drum kit in the corner. Yeah,
and I think that started the juices flowing. And then
Chris's wife sent a message to me and said, hey,
Chris had a great time playing music. You guys should
start a band.
Speaker 11 (11:25):
Yeah, that was the end. That was the beginning of it.
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, and then Covid hit and you know, we we
really kind of had to take a year off. Yeah,
talked a lot about what to do, but maybe not
a year. But we we would separate in the backyard
by fifty feet with you know, fifty foot xl R cables. Yeah,
it was a little ridiculous, and that's where the name came.
Speaker 9 (11:48):
So yeah, so I wondered about that.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah, to play on the pandemic and our first actual
band name was Covid Operations And that lasted about ten
minutes and then we realized that's not something we ever
want to have in a band. You know how band
practices go. There were other influences in the room.
Speaker 9 (12:06):
I love I love hearing about rejected band names.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
That's ally So yeah, that was it, that one uh
that we thought that was pretty pretty catchy. And then
our old keyboard player, Nick George's came up with jam Demic.
We're just kicking ideas around one night and that was
just in passing and I jumped on it, and Facebook
slash jamdemic was available, jamdemic dot com was available, so
(12:29):
we just embraced it. And the nice thing about that
is we're the only band in the world jam Demic.
You we show up no matter where you are, and
it's nice to have something original like that.
Speaker 9 (12:39):
Yeah, that's That's important when picking a band name is
is you know, coming up with something that's that's you're
not gonna find out, oh, you know, ten other bands
already have this name.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And yeah, I think the key to finding a band
name now is to buy one of those magnetic poetry
kits and you throw it on the fridge and you
take all the connecting words off, and you put all
the nouns on and you just picked three of them
and and there's your band names.
Speaker 11 (13:01):
Good for lyric writing too, Well.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
That's what Tom Petty did. I heard they wrote a
whole album based on one of those magnetic kits Relliant. Yeah,
I don't know what album it was, but I read
that somewhere recently online that they wrote a whole album
based on one of those kits. Every song is based
on one of those magnetic kits. Just by taking the
shows goes to show you how much of a master
(13:24):
Tom Petty was as a lyricist. Right to be able
to write all that, right, that's impressive.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
So when you guys, you probably these songs, I would
imagine they do. They change when you play them live,
Like a song like live for live music. If I
were to hear you live, it's not gonna sound exactly
like that, right, because it seems like it kind of
gives you some freedom to, you know, if you want
to play it longer, if you want to extend the
solo or something.
Speaker 13 (13:48):
Yeah, a song like that, definitely it has some space
in the middle where you can take off and just
bring it to somewhere else. And that's what we like
to do, kind of like as the name, like you know, jams,
but we can just jam and see.
Speaker 11 (14:02):
Where it goes.
Speaker 9 (14:03):
Yeah, a lot of improv I can imagine. Yeah, yeah,
I can imagine. So a song like that, so obviously
you know the length that it is the studio version,
it's is good for radio. But I mean, and that's
like how long does a song like that get when
you play it live? Does it pass like six seven minutes?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Or it can?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I mean I would say some of our extended cuts
of different things can go up to ten minutes. Yeah,
like we like a lot of Jerry band stuff as well. Yeah,
like what that's what Leve will make you do, and
that can just go solo after solo and just change
your tone a little bit on you know, like Jerry
used to do, or Drew will change his tone on
the sacks and yeah, Chris will go round on keys
(14:46):
and then he'll pick up the harmonica.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I just sit back and watch, yeah, and it's it's nice.
But yeah, I would say it depends on also the
gig that we're doing, Yeah, and looking at the crowd
and kind of I guess that's all decisions that we
make on the fly.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
Sure, sure, so you really know.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
It's it's kind of an open uh an open book.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
But it's important right to play with people who you
kind of have. It becomes kind of intuitive right when
you're I'm fascinated by because I've been in a lot
of bands, but I was never in a band where
you kind of had that sort of freedom.
Speaker 10 (15:19):
To Yeah, so that's that's that's the tricky thing, right.
It's it's this opportunity to express yourself and and to
and to go on flights. But you have to do
coordination too, right, You've got to be able to communicate.
And I think it's something that a lot of bands
probably aspire to, and I know we are constantly aspiring
to be a better jam band. Yeah, it's not something
(15:40):
that necessarily just happens. You have to You kind of
have to plan for it and then sort of step
away and let it happen. It's tricky. So yeah, you know,
so writing a writing a song like like libal live music,
we we we knew that. Okay, we want this to
be a jam song. We want to we want to
field in areas where this can just take we can
(16:03):
just take it for a ride. Yeah, And what Eric's
talking about passing around solos is great, but then sometimes
there'll be a synergy and two guys will lock onto
something and it starts. You can start taking it somewhere else. Yeah,
and that's when it gets really fun.
Speaker 9 (16:17):
Yeah, I can imagine. So does it ever go wrong?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Does it?
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Yeah? Yeah, it takes a lot of fine tuning.
Speaker 13 (16:25):
Yeah, but without taking that chance, you can't, you know,
maybe come up with something great, right, right, And it's
nice when it pays off and something really walks in.
Speaker 10 (16:33):
Yeah, And it's just fun too. It's kind of like
when it when it crash. If it crashes, you're kind
of like, oh, well it didn't work, but that was
really fun trying, right, you know. Yeah, it's not the
end of the world. Yeah, the song doesn't stop.
Speaker 11 (16:45):
Bob Ross's a happy accident, right right, right.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
And if you're and if you're playing original music in
front of a crowd, I mean, they don't they don't
necessarily know, right exactly, they don't know. They don't know
that didn't quite work.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
It's one of the best things about original music. When
you're paying playing a cover, you know, I mean I
like to play covers the way they should be played,
and Chris likes to add a personal flare to it,
and I always like to stick somewhat rigid, so you know,
we we bounce back and forth on that. But I
think some of the covers we do, you know, people
expect it to be that way, and any mistake is
(17:17):
a glaring mistake. Usually you know, that was only a
half away from the right note. You know, things like that.
It just people will notice it. But then again, as
a musician, most people don't notice it in the crowd, right,
they're drinking, they're chatting. Right, You shouldn't worry about that
stuff because it happens everybody.
Speaker 9 (17:35):
Yeah, I just feel like with covers too, I see,
I like it if it's not exactly you know. My
thing is if I want to listen to the original,
I can go listen to the original, like I want
to hear your interpretation of it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 10 (17:48):
More interesting?
Speaker 9 (17:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Sometimes I think as a as the lead singer or
a singer, I want to sing it that way. Yeah,
And it's it's because it's locked in my head. It
allows me to produce it better because I've I've got that.
And then the reason I like the song is because
of the way they sang it. That little bass riff
or whatever riff was in there. So I think, paying
make sure make sure some of that's in there for me.
(18:12):
But again, that's kind of what's nice about it. Chris
is the ying and I'm the yang.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
And you'll always be pulling away from that.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Oh yeah, just the way it is. And then there's
a compromise. We're a democratic band, so we vote on
a lot of stuff, right, is nobody's decision. You know,
I might lay an idea out there, but we will
vote on it and majority wins.
Speaker 11 (18:31):
Yeah, yeah, something We're working on him.
Speaker 10 (18:35):
You know, he's coming along right, right.
Speaker 9 (18:39):
What what what do you guys do for covers? Because
I always think, you know, you can kind of figure
out about someone's influences by what they cover, right, Like,
what do you guys? What do you guys do for covers?
Speaker 10 (18:48):
All right? My favorite cover is the other one by
Grateful Dead. We just love that thing because it's so
it's you can take that anywhere. Yeah, so that's my
favorite cover to play.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Well, what's yours one of my favorites as well.
Speaker 10 (19:02):
That has a lot of decent drums in it.
Speaker 11 (19:04):
Yeah, like that one.
Speaker 13 (19:07):
This is Joe speaking, but that one's way out in
you know, left field, but which is which is fine
to do that, but I sometimes try to ground it
a little bit. My influences were like Hendrix and you know,
bluesy guitarist things. But but you also use that type
of style on top of a like a psychedelic groove
like like that one. Yeah, and I think it kind
(19:29):
of like homes hondes it in a little bit and
rounds it. Yeah, and but I can I could get.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
Out there too, you know, which is a lot of fun.
Speaker 9 (19:37):
Sure, sure, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
We play a lot of dead covers. I mean, I
love trucking and things. But I think some of our
favorite new recent ones that we've been doing is Light
Up or Leave Me Alone by Traffic. I really enjoy
that one. Yeah, It's just such a great song and
I love to sing it. It's just something about Jim
Vivaldi's voice on that. A lot of people think it
was Stephen Winwood singing it, but it's not.
Speaker 9 (19:59):
Yeah, I don't. I don't think I even realized.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah it's Vivaldi. It's the other guy in the band.
Oh and it's just uh, I love singing that song
and something about it, you know, you get to really
get in on it.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
We do a Long Way to the Top by a
c D. I mean, that's a lot of fun. We
haven't played that in.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
A year or two.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I also really like one of the songs Joe brought
in them changes by Buddy Miles, Yeah with you know,
made famous by Jimmy Hendricks. Of course. It's just he's
just such a good front front man showman on that
and great guitar work. It's just a lot of fun
to play.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Now when you so, when you guys play out, you
you probably do long shows, right, like you'll do I
can imagine, right, you play a long set probably like
you're you don't seem like a band that's gonna get
up and do a thirty minute you know.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Now we'll go over an hour hour and up to
an hour and a half. Yeah, a few minute break
usually play Yeah, two long sets yeah for the most part.
Depends on really what the venue wants as well. Yeah,
they'll dictate, or we're doing a private party, we could
play for two two and a half hours straight.
Speaker 11 (21:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (21:02):
That's one thing when I go in and see a band,
it's just always inevitable that I walk in and the
band takes a break right away. Yeah, and it's like
they don't you don't see him for like twenty five minutes. Yeah,
and you know, and then then it's time, you know,
we'll go on somewhere else. But it's nice when yeah,
a band is there to play and they just yeah
deliver the.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
Oh absolutely in music because when bands take breaks to
it's never as long as you know, it always ends
up being much longer than what it's supposed to be. Yeah,
you know, like we're going to take a ten minute
break and then you know, a half hour later there finally, yeah,
they're getting back up there. Yeah, now tell us about this.
So this other track, So we we played Live for
(21:43):
Live Music to open the show, But you've got this
other song that that I think we should play in
a moment. But this is already getting some airplay on radio.
You're already getting traction with this one.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Well, we got traction with Live for lad Music. As
I said, it was played on another major station on Boston.
Oh the new but the new one is not be
and played.
Speaker 11 (22:01):
This will be.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
This will be a world radio premiere if you choose
to play took Me Down. And that's ironically that's another
love story. I think that's a whole nother story in itself.
Because I tend to write lyrics that are based on
tragic love stories or just maybe how much I had
to drink the night before old college, you know, just
more drug sex and rock and roll. And yeah, Chris
(22:24):
is the other writer, and he tends to write songs
that are just much more in depth and thoughtful. Or
you know how many mushrooms it takes to get to
the fifth dimension?
Speaker 9 (22:36):
How many.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
We don't know, we're still researching, Okay, But so I
think it's just it's an interesting difference. And that's I
think also add some variety, but took me down as
as a reggae themed jam love story that I wrote
as well. These guys wrote the music I wrote.
Speaker 12 (22:55):
I wrote the lyrics, and you'll hear it in the song,
right this This is one of those songs when you
hear you go, okay, I can see where this this
band can go in a lot of different directions on
anyone given night. There's there's a lot of different places
this one can take off or come back to. And
and yeah, I think it's a it's a showcase for
us of of like I said, Eric's Eric's writing of
being able to come up with with lyrics to two
(23:15):
different jams we do. I mean, this was again one
that we literally, CHRISTI goes, why are we even thinking
about covering another song?
Speaker 9 (23:22):
Like, let's make our own original?
Speaker 12 (23:24):
And within within I think five minutes, we had a
good groove going going, we had we had a hook
we wanted to do, and within another practice it was okay,
we've got something.
Speaker 11 (23:32):
We've got something here.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
Yeah, oh very cool.
Speaker 11 (23:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:35):
I got to ask you, is there is there an
actual band named Tweezer?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
No?
Speaker 9 (23:38):
No, this is a fish reference. Oh this is the
you know, the infamous Tweezer. Oh okay, encore song. I
don't know if there was a Weezer.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Covering somewhere in the world. A band is writing that
down right now?
Speaker 9 (23:52):
That's right, I hope, so, I hope. So all right,
so let's give this a spin. And uh so this
is a World Radio premiere which we as you get
the special World Radio Premiere bumper, which I will use
any excuse to play that. But let me make sure
I got the track pulled up here?
Speaker 11 (24:10):
Where did it go?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Where did it go?
Speaker 9 (24:12):
I had it? Oh, took me down, took me down
there it is found it? Okay, so here we go.
So this is the World Radio Premiere. I'm having trouble
loading it up. There we go. I got it. This
is the world radio premiere, first time ever. You'll be
hearing this on the radio on Matt Connorton unleased here
(24:32):
on WM and H ninety five point three FM. This

It took me down, then tut me out and talk
me down.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
And talk me down.
Speaker 9 (30:41):
I love that. I didn't even want to talk over
the fade. That is called took Me Down. The band
is Jam Demick and we've got jan a Jam Demic
here in the studio with us, and that is called
took Me Down. And that is a world radio premiere
here on Matt Connorton Unleashed. Very honored to play that,
be the first ones to play that on the radio.
So now a great job, guys. I love that. Thank
you so much, really really good.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (31:02):
So tell us we're talking off here about where there
was recorded and you mentioned a name that comes up
a lot on the show.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Actually, yeah, Boardhouse Productions out of Brookline. So Pete, Mick
and Blake are the guys that had that place up
and he's you know, in Brookline, New Hampshire. And you know,
we are the resident band at a place called Big
Bear Lodge, which is part of Andrea's Art Institute. It's
an outdoor sculpture park and they have an events center
(31:29):
up there and we've had an opportunity to come in
and help them with their concerts, okay, and they're like, hey,
you can use the stage every week for your rehearsal.
So we it was great. We got all the gear
out of my house and moved it up over there,
so we get to rehearse on a stage. And just
turns out Pete lives right down the road from that
and Joe's played there before. Aerosmith that apparently has played there,
(31:52):
We're not quite sure roots of creation. Just a bunch
of Jay Giles band, a bunch of different people have
played there. So having having that connection, Pete came in
to help us with sound initially and donated a console,
a newer console and all the rolland console to help
the room kind of get a kick. We used our
PA gear for the band as the house stuff. Yeah,
(32:16):
And it was just that relationship with Pete developed, and
then when we were ready to start producing these originals,
that logical choice was to go down the road to
Pete studio. Boardhouse Productions.
Speaker 9 (32:26):
Yeah, yeah, Boardhouse. That name comes up a lot on
the show. And you mentioned a couple again when we
were talking off air Fox of the Flamingos that recorded there, right, and.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Yeah, Cosmic Blosso. He also does the sound for bad Fish,
which is a Sublime tribute band. He also does all
the productions or the majority of the man does sound
on the road for Roots of Creation Okay, which is
a real popular and grateful dub God bless those guys
have really made a big name for themself and in
(32:56):
this area and nationwide, really making a difference out there.
So I think what Cosmic Blossom, There's a bunch of
other bands that have come in and out of there
that my apologies for not remembering them all. Pete has
also worked I think with Peter Frampton, he did some
stuff with He worked with Warren Haynes. Yeah, a long
list of people, Yeah, Skinner and there's a long list
of people that Pete's worked with. Wow, that's you know,
(33:18):
it's just a logical choice to go there. And as
you've heard, we love it. Yeah, he really is a
master engineer.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
Yeah, And tell us about that song and what happens
towards the end there is that that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
That the little gnome dance. Yeah, thank you Pete for
inventing that.
Speaker 10 (33:32):
So, yeah, there's this is I think I'm guilty of
the numb dance yeah, maybe I am. I always always
I love those like kind of psychedelic little like ditties
that sometimes hear old old psychedelic songs, like some Floyd
songs like for instance, you know c Emily play there's
that weird little harpsichord thing that goes on if you're
(33:52):
familiar with that too. But anyway, so I don't know,
that's part of like my musical DNA's he's weird like renaissance,
he's psychedelic things. And so I started doing that, and
Joe immediately hurt and fell in with that. And that's
the magic that I loved. What happens when especially Joe
(34:12):
Joe jo key into something and it becomes more than
just a passing thought that I might have had. It
suddenly becomes part of the song.
Speaker 9 (34:20):
Yeah, and it fits, Yeah, it fits a little breakdown
fits perfectly. Yeah. Yeah, it's really cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
So in the studio when we played that, Pete got
up from behind the console and did this little called
it called it the Fairy Gnome Dance because it sounds
a little you know, medieval, yeah, psychedelic, and it's it's
it's just a different genre mix right into the reggae song. Yeah,
you know, it's weird, but.
Speaker 9 (34:42):
It works totally.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
So it's just kind of funny. We talk about a
week it's called the Gnome Dance, part of the Fairy Dance.
Speaker 11 (34:48):
It's just funny.
Speaker 9 (34:49):
Yeah, that's that's awesome. I love it and you should
tell us you more about your involvement a Big Bear.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Yeah. So, as I said, with a resident band over there,
and we helped produce the shows. I mean, I'm the
one of the audio engineers, if you want to use
that term loosely. I'm fairly new to all this stuff
really obviously mix it all with my band, so I
understand how to get the best sound out. My ears
tell me what to do, but Pete has shown me
a ton also Willie Walker from a band called the
(35:15):
Mighty Colors. They've played with us at Big Bear. So
we started an annual benefit over there for Earth Day.
So we go in, we played for free. We pulled
in the Mighty Colors. They played for free, and we
sold tickets to the event and packed the room and
made you know, Andrea's Institute, the nonprofit, a couple thousand dollars,
and beaver Brook as well made a little bit of money,
(35:38):
which is an environmental cause, so that was our goal
is to raise and we just wanted to play in
the room. That opportunity of us setting that benefit up
now was a yearly opportunity. So last year we pulled
in a morphous band with one of the original New
England jam band guys, Peter Prince and Peter Prince in.
Speaker 6 (35:57):
Moon Boot Lover.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Moon Boot Lover wasn't there, but Peter was just an
amazing guitar player, singer, just unbelievable stage presence. Yeah, total
rock star and his list of accolades just goes on
and on and on. So having us being able to
pull that show off, we ended up being asked to hey,
do you want to help run shows and produce? So
(36:18):
all we've done is try to help you push the
technology over there, get better, get better console, better equipment,
better lighting. So I install all DMX lighting, concert lighting,
did all the got new parts of the stage really
kind of the stage and sound manager and lighting guy
over there, and it's been wonderful for networking. We've been
(36:39):
able to network with you know, the Soggy Pull boys
were just standing there. Recently have put you a feather
in my cap for mixing them, and thank God for
Willy from the Mighty Colors came in and helped me out.
So he was lead, and I'll take a one engineer
stage hand that day. And yeah, there's other guys that
are willing to help, so they come in and I'll
either have them be lead on the console or or
(37:00):
I'll be lead and they'll it's just a great relationship.
No one gets paid, but being able to have the
room and what it's done for just our stage presence
and everything has been it's been instrumental.
Speaker 13 (37:12):
It's an old ski lodge actually from oh really yeah,
used to be Musket Mountain or Big Bear really been
a couple of different names, but I remember skiing there
when I was a kid, and yeah, it's like an
old you know, cathedral ceiling. It's a great hall, great
sound in there and just a you know, very vintage
feel too.
Speaker 9 (37:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Probably one of the best sounding rooms in New Hampshire
without a doubt, just because of all the wood. And
we're looking at upgrading the PA equipment pretty soon so
I can get my stuff out of there and getting
a really really nice system that's going to arrival almost
any PA in southern New Hampshire.
Speaker 9 (37:45):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
So we have a really also close relationship with Metronome Studios.
They're right in Brookline as well. We don't record there,
but they also produce all the lighting and video up
at Guildford for a bank in New Hampshire. Having those
guys and they've been coming to help us out with
a little bit of sound. We just put a brand
new Barringer Wing forty eight channel console and Digital Snakes
(38:08):
really upgrading everything so it's got the best sound and
they've come in and helped me configure it. Pete came
in for five or six hours the other day on
no charge at all to help us configure this stuff.
So it's kind of like a family atmosphere. And it's
it's because this place is in a nonprofit and it's
a free outdoor sculpture park that anybody can come at
any time, open three hundred and sixty five days a year.
(38:31):
But the Welcome Center has this amazing performance venue and
they run concerts to try to get funds in to
raise money for their nonprofit. It's a good yin yang relationship.
I love it and it really helped the band out.
Speaker 10 (38:43):
Yeah, it has, and a lot of people don't know
about it because it went from being this skilage and
this entertainment, you know kind of venue that then switched
to a more that nonprofit than the artists thick side.
The Sculpture Park is amazing. It's all outdoors on these
(39:06):
trails and mountains on the mountain, and they have a
residency program where these sculptures come from all over the
world and spend whatever what like six weeks three weeks,
and they're given a stone right or whatever medium they
metal and they create work that then lives at the site.
(39:28):
And so what Eric's done is kind of brought this
closer to the community by reviving the sort of local
connection that Big Bear used to have for like local
music and people just going there to enjoy music. So
it's kind of a new a symbiotic relationship. I think
it's been great for both parties.
Speaker 11 (39:49):
Really has Yeah.
Speaker 9 (39:50):
Oh that's fantastic. Yeah, that's great. That's great.
Speaker 10 (39:52):
And where is that?
Speaker 1 (39:53):
So that's in Brookline, brook Line, New Hampshire, right across
from the Alamo, which is a little barbecue restaurant.
Speaker 9 (39:59):
Okay, okay cool. Eric's done a great job decking the
place out with video.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Also, Oh really, uh yeah, it's really nice. So we
have we just put in a ten ADP stage camera
very much like yours there, so coming in the ceiling
and we Dave Peas who's a volunteer over there also
works for Pepperal Community Media. He's our video guy. He
comes in has four ten ADP cameras or three ten
ADP plus the stage camera that I just installed, and
(40:25):
we have a video aggregator. So for shows we'll actually
record all the stems on the digital console, all the
wave files from every every channel, and we'll also have
all this awesome video and then we're pitching that back
to the bands because it's great for promo, right, having
(40:45):
really good quality all the different cuts, and that helps
us defer our costs from every concert make a little
bit of money back. So it's really reasonable and it's
so far it's been good. Some of the bands have
wanted to do that. And now for us, every practice
we get it for free. So I'm sticking the the
SD card in we can record every practice. I then
bring it home, pulled into to reaper our daw and
(41:08):
then we put it up on Google Drive so we
can hear our progress every week and our whole history
is up there that we can go back on and
look at our catalog and run a spreadsheet of everything.
It's you know, I'm I'm pretty anal about that.
Speaker 11 (41:21):
Eric's the technical guy.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
I do all the social media. I do all the booking,
all the promoll, everything that that is frontward facing is
me because that's what I do for a living. I'm
you know, I do digital marketing and kow and websites
and stuff.
Speaker 12 (41:38):
So if you've ever seen Semi Pro with Will Ferrell,
he's a character in that called Jackie Moon.
Speaker 9 (41:44):
Jackie Moon is you know, the he's the he's the
you know, star player, he's the coach, he's the owner.
Speaker 12 (41:50):
And so a lot of times I refer to Eric
as our Jackie Moon because he's in the band, he's
our manager, he's you know, the number one sound engineer.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Right.
Speaker 12 (42:01):
But but you know, honestly, that the breakthrough for us,
right having that access to that space at Big Bear,
having that as a space, you know, set up and
dedicated for us to be able to utilize that was
I think a big breakthrough for us, and being able
to work on original material because like we talked about, right,
it's it's it's not the first idea, that's the best idea.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
Right.
Speaker 12 (42:19):
It's like Chris said, he puts that you know idea out,
Joe latches onto it, Drew latches onto it, Rob what
and it becomes something you didn't ever intend to in
the beginning. And so just you know, by virtue of
having some time and space in our calendars over the winter,
Eric wi always.
Speaker 9 (42:33):
Make sure everything we do is recorded.
Speaker 11 (42:35):
I hear it from him.
Speaker 12 (42:36):
If I turn off that mic for ten seconds, I
hear about it the next ye But then allows us
to go back through and go, oh that really worked.
Speaker 9 (42:41):
Oh we could piece these together.
Speaker 12 (42:43):
Hey, let's work on developing this one a little bit more,
and you make progress in a really, you know, much
quicker fashion than if you just try to you know,
go in and hammer it out over over five to
six hours, right, just kind of organically let it build.
Come back to it each week and see what. See
what comes you know, comes naturally.
Speaker 9 (42:57):
To Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, No, that's great. That's
that's really cool that you guys have that. Now, what's
what's kind of the are you playing a lot of shows?
Have you been playing a lot of shows over the summer,
or what's kind of been.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
Usually take a break in June July or really I
think the end of June was our last show, okay,
and then we usually take July off. Everybody's on vacation.
It's a nightmare. Try to do all our booking in February, March,
and April.
Speaker 9 (43:22):
Oh year, oh really, and then.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
We'll leave a couple of weekends open and some benefit
or festival or something might come up and we've done.
Like last year, we had a wedding and I can
show this. This is the Camp Paul poster.
Speaker 9 (43:35):
So yeah, yeah, we do.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
Uh, we do custom posters and stuff for special events.
And these people wanted to have a jam wedding, isn't it.
So they ended up hiring hiring us to play this
wedding festival.
Speaker 9 (43:49):
Feel did you draw it yourself?
Speaker 3 (43:51):
But you.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Guys talking about AI, right, I don't have a graphic artist,
so we end up using some AI And then I'm
a little bit I'm dany just with the graphic art.
So I'll get in there and I'll do we'll touch
up and obviously make all of the the wording and
the lettering. I really do like how that you can
tell AI is amazing for drawing stuff. But it can't
spell at all, Like it'll take me a hundred times
(44:16):
to get it to spell this, even though I put
it in quotes and tell it what to do. You know,
obviously this is a Chris is an artist, right, so
that we have this discussion all the time. You know,
it is his art getting stolen, and then if I
ask it to paint a tar painting or something, is
his art going to show up one day on a poster.
(44:36):
But yet for a band it we don't You don't know.
We don't have any money to put much towards this week.
We have an expensive PA and we put everything we
have in our time, But I can't hire a graphic
artist at our small size forever doing Northlands or something
we get picked for the side stage. Yeah, I'll hire
somebody to actually draw a real poster. Sure, But AI
has helped us out tremendously to get that promo out there.
Speaker 10 (44:57):
Okay, oh cool, all right, no, no shame man. I
think that AI is great for stuff like that. It's perfect,
you know, because you're not asking it to replace, you know,
a great artist. You just want an awesome marketing image.
That's what Hey, guy's freaking great at.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Exactly who originally drew.
Speaker 10 (45:16):
This, No, nobody. It's probably it's a composite, man.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
So that's what I don't know if we know, no
it is.
Speaker 10 (45:22):
It's not just taken from somebody. It's a composite that's
been taken from many places.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
I hope. So that's the only thing that I worry about.
Speaker 11 (45:30):
What it will take everything eventually.
Speaker 10 (45:34):
Yeah, but here's the thing. It'll never be as creative
as human beings are.
Speaker 1 (45:39):
Right right, Yeah, No, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
You know it.
Speaker 10 (45:43):
If it comes down to it taking my image and
putting it on something, why does that bother me? Because
I think I'm owed something for that image. I personally
don't feel that way. That's business. That's not art. That's
what you do as a you know, for a job.
I make images, But that's not really that's not great art.
(46:05):
That's not pulling something from your soul, right, And AI
doesn't have a soul to pull from, right. If anything,
I would see it's not going to And what I
would always see is that stuff's advertisement for my art.
Like even people like putting their pictures of their paintings
online and they put big copyright signs and stuff. Who cares, right,
I'd somebody who wasn't going to see or buy your
(46:25):
art anyway, and you're onto the next painting, and you know,
guess what, You've actually got free advertising? Right, I don't
see a problem.
Speaker 9 (46:33):
That's a good way.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
You're an artist too, so you know what I mean.
That means a lot.
Speaker 9 (46:38):
It does, Yeah, it does.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
I just don't want to steal anybody's stuff yet, right.
I did plenty of that when I was a kid,
stealing from Microsoft and all those downloads, those games.
Speaker 9 (46:48):
Oh didn't we all didn't we all? Well, so we
are running out of time. I do want to make sure.
So now, do you have anything coming up?
Speaker 1 (46:57):
And do we have two gigs next week? Weekend? We're
doing the Roud and Bush Community Block Party in Westford, Massachusetts.
Speaker 9 (47:05):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
That's kind of a public event for the folks, the
fine folks of Westford, mass Okay. And that's a benefits
show that that we're going to help them do. And
then we're playing the Tiki Bar at Nashoba Valley on
the twenty third from eight to eleven. And then we
are the next show after that, I believe is Pinucci's
on September fourteenth. Excellent and that's on the deck right downtown,
(47:27):
which is going to be a fun show. I play
a lot of Grateful Day. We got a Manchester cuts,
concered conered cockered we do yeah, yeah, the old Thursday's
underground music.
Speaker 9 (47:37):
Stage, so it used to be a Manchester one.
Speaker 11 (47:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:39):
And then we're also playing Old Home Days in Hollis
on September twentieth, and then I think October tenth, we're
doing a private party in Milford. October eleventh, we're playing
Milford Pumpkin Fest along with you know, Fox and the
Flamingo Yeah, and all these other bands that are local
out of the area. Cosmic Blossom I think is also
playing excellent. It's just a great line up that weekend
(48:01):
of really good music.
Speaker 9 (48:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (48:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
And then I think Old Home Days that one good
Thing took Me Down. That's the release date for that song.
Speaker 9 (48:08):
It's perfect.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
It's kind of going to be your release party.

get into helping other bands out my digital marketing experience
and seeing how we've grown this.
Speaker 9 (49:56):

Speaker 1 (49:57):
Opportunity for me to help other bands that just don't
don't have a guy in the band that can do
this right, So I encourage them to reach out to me.
I'm more happy to guide them and give them some
free advice or hook them up with an invoice if
they want me to help him out.
