Bronwin Keith Hines here on the Backstage Pass. Bron what
how you doing?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I'm great, Brandon how you doing.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
It's good, it's good. Well I got to go back
to that performance too at the top because I was
seeing a remember my and we always get to have
the voting privileges that we do, and of course kind
of you know, forecast to show and just talk about
our favorite moments. One of my favorite moments on there
was just seeing you up there having fun with the ladies.
How much of a memory was that, the emotions that
(01:15):
went through you, and of course how much of that
will you take with you now that we're into twenty
twenty five. Talk about that moment?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
For me?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Oh gosh, that was a just sort of like a
milestone moment. You know, I've been a huge fan of
Derk Spentley kind of my whole life. He was one
of the first country artists and bluegrass artists I ever
heard so, and then of course I'm in Molly's band
and I've been a huge fan of both her and
Sierra for years, and you know, we're we're pals, and
you know, hang out at Nashville outside of music and stuff.
(01:44):
But it just to have all, you know, to be
playing with all those people in such a high pressure
and like exciting thing as the CMA Awards was just
like it almost it just didn't really it almost didn't
feel real.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
It just frought like kind of a crazy dream and
it was.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
But it was so cool because kind of felt like
we were all there, you know, right before the curtain opened,
you know, Dirk's is just kind of joking around. We're
all just kind of laughing, and you know, it's like, Wow,
these people are relaxed, and like, I think this is
going to be fun, and I think the you know,
it did turn out to be really fun and you
can kind of see that like sort of relaxed energy.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, it was a great down to music too. Loved
it and the whole show was amazing. Congrats to all
the award winners and of course, hey coming up here
in a few months, you got the Academy of Country
Music and then back at it too CMA Week in
June and then back in November another version of that
CMA Awards. Talk about your career For people that don't
know Bronwyn Keith Hines out there, the fiddle player, just
the great bloodgrass singer, how did you get started in
(02:38):
all this? I'm really interested to kind of hear the
backstory of your career and kind of some inspirations who
inspired you in music.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, so I started out playing fiddle as a young kid.
I started out when I was three years old, and
I guess I apparently I heard some girls busking on
the street when I was three nasked for violin lessons,
But I don't even remember. Like I've been playing fiddle
longer than I can remember, and you know, I just
kind of grew up taking fiddle lessons, going to fiddle camps,
and I always just you know, and anybody would ask
me what I wanted to do, like as a career,
(03:08):
I would just always say I wanted to be a fiddler.
And I didn't really know what that meant, you know,
I just was kind of a little naive and I
was like, I'm just gonna just make money playing fiddle,
like it'll be easy whatever. And you know, that's turned
out to be kind of a pretty a super interesting
and varied career over the years. Like I went to
music college up in Boston at Berkeley College of Music,
(03:31):
and that's where I met Molly Tuttle and Seer a
whole and actually most of the bandmates who were the
Golden Highway Band that Molly leads. We all were just
kind of in school at the same time, but that was,
you know, ten years ago. And in between then, I've
been in different bands, I've led bands, I've I've kind
(03:51):
of just but always as a fiddle player. I've never
really never really sung that much until the last couple
of years. And I guess about three and a half
years ago, Molly put together the Golden Highway Band, which
really kind of took off, and that was sort of
that was really exciting, and I've never you know, I've
never done anything like that before. You know, We've played
(04:12):
Jimmy Kimmel and I played Red Rocks and you know,
just all these like really big, kind of milestone places
and moments. So it's been really exciting. And then I
guess recently the newest thing for me is I've been
starting to put out my own music. I put out
my own solo album, and I've started singing and leading
(04:33):
a band as well.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, I love this album too. We got to jump
into it and I love it. I Built a World
and it came out last May for you guys here
and riding it into twenty twenty five. I know you
have tour in Mexico just recently too. We had talked
about through email and other forms of communication. You and
I've been talking about this and setting everything up, but
I talk about just the tour and just the ride
you've been on too. But this album is fantastic for
(04:55):
bluegrass singers out there. It's something a little bit different,
but it's also the difference in I love the mut
so you can kind of feel it with the fiddle playing,
the emotions kind of you know, get into it, and
especially with the song We're gonna play Can't Live Without
Love here just a little bit with Mully Tuttle and
of course a lot of fantastic people on this record
you got to collaborate with talk about the album and
just the overall body of work, and man, what an excellent,
excellent selection of songs.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Oh gosh, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Well, it was so exciting, you know, putting this album together.
I reached out to a lot of community in the
Nashville area, a lot of friends who are songwriters to
draw material from, and I feel like it's it's a
really cool reflection of sort of like the creative spirits
I'm around. And we tracked it over like a couple
(05:41):
different periods, three main tracking days, and yeah, and then
you know, one of the funnest parts was once it
was all recorded except for the harmony vocals and my
parts were recorded, I got to kind of listen to
the tracks and I really had a good sense for
how they turned out, and kind of then getting to
pick some special guests to sing with me was like
(06:02):
one of the most fun parts. And then you'd have
them come in for the day and lay on their
vocals and just you know, I'd hardly ever recorded myself
singing ever, So not only to hear that recorded, but
then to hear some of my favorite singer's voices with
mine for the first time, like Molly's voice, Dirk's, Bentley's voice,
Sam Bush, Britt Taylor, it was totally surreal and really cool.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah, I love it too. And that leadoff song right there,
We're gonna play right here KKTC True Country ninety nine
point nine. It's bron with Keith Hines. I Built the
World is the title of the album. The title of
the song feature in Molly Tuttle, It's Can't Live Without

for that across all those digital streaming platforms. Again back
(11:25):
here with Bronwin Keith Hines, powered by the Sports Guys
podcast dot com KKCC True Country ninety nine point nine.
You know Bromin, what a great song here to lead off,
Can't Live Without Love and You and Molly Man just
from the opening of it, Uh, pull that crowd in, Uh,
just the fiddle. I mean, everything was just so right
about this song.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Oh thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I love that song. That's that's the first single I
put out from the record, and then I had to
make it the first track on the record because I just.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I just loved it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Let's talk about the inspiration. Just backstories. Take me to
the school of songwriting for Bronwyn Keith Hines. When it
comes to songwriting, so people say they enjoy it too,
they say it's a hassle, they love co writing. Where's
kind of your process? Where do you draw the line?
Is it something you enjoy it? If you do, talk
about the inspirations and your process of songwriting.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
So, actually, songwriting has been something I've been I've been
discovering more in the last couple months than ever before.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I wish I'd written all the songs on my I
built a world record, but I didn't write any of them.
Those are all came from from my community and different people.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
I know.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
That one Can't Live Without Love was written by Jamie Hartford,
who is John Hartford's son, I guess songwriting runs in
the family, but I've been really exploring songwriting recently. I've
had some time at home in Nashville and last month
and I've started co writing.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I mean, it's it's super fun and it's like a.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Blast when it's working, and it's like very humbling and
very frustrating when it's not. And you know, I've it's
been it's such a new thing for me that it's
it's tough sometimes, like because sometimes I'll get impatient with myself.
I'll be like, you know, I feel like I know
how to make good music on the fiddle and I
know how to sing. But then sometimes you know, if
if the stuff isn't flowing that day, it's it's very frustrating.
(13:10):
But then I've had some really amazing days where I've
come up with some really cool songs that I'm excited about,
like recording in the future for the next album.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
So it's a ride.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It is a ride, no doubt. Another one I loved
off of there too, Up for Losing Sleep, And of
course Molly Tuttle featured on this one too. Give me
the backstory of that one.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
That one was written by my friend Maya da Vitri
who I've known. We went to fiddle camp together when
we were teenagers and got into all sorts of trouble
in fiddle camp. But she's a great songwriter and I've
always admired her work. So when she sent this one
to me, I was like, I thought it'd be a
cool one. You know. It's just kind of a little
little one about going out dancing and meeting somebody and
(13:48):
then you get ghosted.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
The vibe I got from it Angel Island. I love
this one starts off kind of like that that you
got some drama right there too, that a little bit
of that. I'm kind of watching a scary movie sometimes
where it kind of draws you in with the opening
chords and stuff like that. And I love it because
it really paints that picture of something kind of astique
out there. What was the word I was looking for,
But it has a lot of suspense in it. I
love this song, Angel Island. Tell me about that one.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I love that one too.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
That one was written by Peter Rowan, who's, you know,
as you know, a major bluegrass legend, and it's about
a place that used to be an immigration port off
the coast of San Francisco. It's an actual island. It
was a place people immigrated through, mostly from Asia, and
I've always been kind of really interested in immigration stories.
(14:36):
My grandparents were immigrants from Ireland who came over during
World War Two, and they have their own harrowing immigration
story that I won't get into here, but I just,
you know, stories like that are always draw me in
and intrigued me. And I just I've always kind of
been intrigued by the story of that song, and just yeah,
the song in general.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, you mentioned those collaborations are becoming kind of more
of the norm in the industry today, and I'm loving
seeing a lot of the crossovers too, and we're seeing
like a post Malone, you know, come over and kind
of do his thing. But I'll tell you this, the
ladies and you're right there included with it. But this
class of ladies right now, and just throwing a few
names out there with Lady Wilson and Ashley Cook, Hannah
Ellis and of course Carly Pierce doing her thing. Can't
(15:17):
recall maybe since the nineties country that I grew up
on loving that so much that ladies now kind of
getting their you know, due diligence in country music, talk
about just the way they're kind of getting a little
bit more of the headlines these days too, and more
ladies are kind of doing their thing out there.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yeah, I think it's great. I mean, it's good for
me being a woman.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And you know, I've even I even feel like I've
seen a change in like, you know, maybe just at
people's attitudes about that. And maybe even in the last
ten years or so, you know, I think I used
to worry about the fact that I was a woman
wanting to be in bluegrass, which is such a male
dominated field, and like what would that mean for me
(15:56):
getting jobs? Would it be harder to get a job
or you know, just different things. But it's I feel
like I've finally been at the script has been flipped,
and now it feels like an empowering thing, and you know,
and it feels like women are more maybe hopefully on
more of an equal playing field with men. And I
(16:17):
love being in a band that has both genders, and
I think that's really fun in the Golden Highway band,
and I love just sort of the energy that brings.
You know, we're all friends, we all tease each other
and joke around and it's it feels very natural to
have both genders, you know, it kind of feels like
maybe how it should be.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
So yeah, I love it too. And it's the friendships
you develop in this industry and of course all those
great relationships because many times you go there to an
event like coming up here, the Country Radio Seminar, coming
up to nineteenth and the twenty first there too, and
you never know you're going to run into and it's
just keeping those great relationships. And I love that too,
because that's all that the business is about today is
you know, you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours type thing.
(16:57):
But also just those those contacts and that's now you
guys are able to get out there on tour and
I can't wait to see you in Texas. We're talking
about that before the show. Get a chance to kind
of come out there too, and come to Texas and play.
It's a cool crowd down here. When they like your stuff,
they're gonna really kind of dive into it too. Excited
about coming to Texas.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I love Texas. Yeah, we had a blast last year.
We did a whole week long tour with Golden Highway
in Texas and I'm excited to do my own gigs
in Texas in April. I'm playing in April and Dallas
Austin and doing a festival in Luke and Box.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
So super excited.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
You're gonna love Luke Inbox Texas, no doubt about that.
Off the record too, I love that I built a
world to get back here. Bronwin Keith Hines on the
backstage pass again powered by the Sports Guys podcast dot
com and out there exclusive KKTC True Country ninety nine
point nine. There in Tallas, New Mexico. Scotty's ho Down.
We got to go there, my friend.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Oh yes, Scotty's Hodown. Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
So this one was written by Scottie Stoneman, who was
just kind of like a ridiculous bluegrass fiddle pioneer in
the fifties and sixties, just like just kind of like
totally virtuosic, amazing fiddler who unfortunately died kind of young,
but he left an amazing legacy of you know, of
(18:11):
licks and songs and way he had this amazing version
of Orange Blossom Special where he was kind of like,
I don't know, I think sometimes like trick fiddling can
be like a little silly or whatever. But the way
he did trick fiddling on Orange Blossom Special was like
incredible because he wasn't sacrificing like the music for the tricks,
but he was somehow managing to play crazy licks as
(18:33):
fast as possible, like on the floor, behind his back,
on the floor, just you name it, he was doing it. Anyways,
that tune was written by him and it was fiddle
all the way through for three and a half minutes,
and I just kind of thought that was pretty cool.
I didn't put any other like instrumentals on the record,
so I was like, well, I'm going to put just
one instrumental on the record. Maybe I'll just I'll just
(18:53):
solo the whole way through and he play as many
hot licks and ideas as I can.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Great song, no doubt answers toward the bottom of the
album here and the great Britt Taylor getting a chance
to feature her, what was that relationship?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Like, Britt Taylor is somebody I've been admiring for a while.
You know, she's primarily a country artist, but she also
has deep bluegrass roots, and I love artists that blend
country and bluegrass because I love both of those styles.
And I'm really you know, I don't see any reason
why it should be one or the other. You know,
it's so it's so, you know, they're all connected. So
(19:25):
I just thought she I love her voice, and I
loved the record she put out recently called Kentucky Blue
She put out a country version of it, and then
she re recorded all her songs like bluegrass style, and
it was like called Kentucky Bluegrass, and I was like, Oh,
it's so cool. Anyways, so I asked her to sing
on that just because I wanted to get a chance
to sing with her.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Amazing, amazing talent, no doubt too. And the crossover is
just one of those natural talents that she has too.
I want to ask you about nineties country here too,
because I recently just got a chance to talk to
you right there before Christmas time. He's still out there
doing it. One of the greatest of all time in bluegrass,
and of course he is country music. I think it's
a fifteen time Grammy Award winner. Ricky Skagg's amazing, amazing
vocalist and performer out there too. As far as growing
(20:09):
up and things like that. When you think of nineties country,
give you your top three to maybe five artists that
you kind of grew up jam and two on the
radio or just listening to that free Courts in the Truth.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Oh gosh, well, I mean I loved Ricky Skaggs. I
used to really love Kenny Chesney. Gosh, who else would
I dig?
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Toby Keith.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I don't know if these are crossovers into two thousands country,
if you would you know where we draw the line here.
Also Brooks and Done, I mean, they've got a really
long career, but they're, you know, one of my favorites,
and we're actually getting a chance to open for them
at a number of arena shows this spring with the
Mally Tittle Band.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
So we'll get our boot scoot and boogie on.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I've never learned that line dance, I mean, I.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I better.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Have you ever done that? Like at a club or
did that a bar?
Speaker 9 (20:58):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I've never gotten to do it, So I want to.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I've been learning all over again and just taking my
wife out and just do the line dance again. I'm
gonna have to.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, yeah, you gotta come to one of these shows.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
You come to Texas, my friend I am there and hey,
if it's the Brooks and Dune thing or whatever it is,
we learn these line dances all over again. I used
to take those dance lessons back, you know, when I
got married and they've been married now fourteen years and
we have a daughter, and that's something to say. When
you have kids, it's like you forget the fun stuff,
but you work all the time, which I do. But
I still got to learn the line dances all over again.
And maybe we could coordinate a line dance to some
(21:30):
of these songs. When I built the World.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, exactly, that could be a thing. You know, i''ll
TikTok dance or something.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Well, TikTok dance too. My daughter, actually, she loves your
record too, and she loves the bluegrass field. She's five
years old coming up here in April, and man, she
loves these these tunes. Like I said, again, all this
music out there available for streaming. I built the World

I was.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Like so nervous sending the text. I was like, well,
it's worth a shot, but like, who knows.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I mean, this is like he's got much better things
to do, I'm sure, but he said yes, And you know,
I love that song in general. I thought it turned
out really cool. We had this big fiddle solo in
it that it's kind of like starts out real slow
and kind of build it up, and that's been really
fun live because we've been kind of stretching it out
and doing you know, just kind of letting the solo
(28:33):
go as long as it wants to go. But it
was very surreal having Dirk's come in. He like just
came into the little backyard studio I've been recording in
down in East Nashville at a friend's house and and
just knocked it out in about an hour. He was
so quick and had all these cool different harmony ideas.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
So let's good. It's like pros probe. Like I said,
when they knock it out in the amount of time,
you don't think it's gonna be But like I said,
they're like all these great ideas and doing it for
a long time too. You can always tell too when
they wrap it up quickly out there. Just put a
great spin on a great tune out there too. Hey
talk about I'm gonna take a littlest step back here
to twenty twenty right there before all the COVID stuff,
the Fiddler's Pastime, and I want to go into a
(29:14):
little bit of just a couple songs off their first
open Water and the Great Sierra Hole. This was a
great collaboration here.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Yeah, So I wrote that I was actually the first
tune I wrote for that album, and that was my
first album I'd ever put out, and I wrote that one.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
I wrote it a little bit. At the first part
of it.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I wrote at IBMA, which is the International Bluegrass Music Association,
like you know, yearly conference, and I was just sitting
on some steps in the hotel, just I had some
time in the afternoon and I just kind of messing around.
But people kept I knew a lot of people there,
and people would I'd be starting to play and the
people would stop me and I'd talk and anyways, Yeah,
I love how that one turned out. It was also
(29:51):
really inspired by like a Ronnie McCurry tune, like he
recorded so many great instrumentals with the del Ma Curry Band,
and and I've always loved his bluegrass instrumentals, Like I
think there they've got a combination of like sounding really
traditional in one sense, but they're also like nothing you've
ever heard in another sense, and it's like how do
you find that balance? And I don't know, So I
(30:13):
was trying to find that with open Water and see
here a hole you know, just came in there and
added so much to it.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
It was so cool to play with her.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Oh yeah, she crushes it, like I said, like just
one of those ladies that can can cross over and
do some great things too. Another one off there. We
talked about line dancing line dancing a little bit, but
I thought this was kind of cool Brown with the
Hendersonville hop. You got to take me through this one.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yeah, Andersonville hop, well, gosh, I don't know. I think
there's a there's a song on Bailiflex Drive album called
Blue Mountain Hop.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
I think.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
And I always just thought hop was like a cool
description of it too. And I don't really know what
it means, but you know, hop skipping a jump or something.
I don't know, so it was sort of like inspired
by that in terms of the title. But my now
husband lived up in Hendersonville and Jason Carter, so you know,
at that time I was going back and forth from
(31:08):
Nashville to Hendersonville a lot to see him, and so
that was kind of where it came from.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
I love it too, arrived a little fun here too,
and all the music available for digital streaming out there too,
wherever you guys download and stream your music out there,
and check out Bronmin Keith Hines dot com for all
the tour information and all the other great information out
there too on the artist to a website. We always
like to put that out there for your viewing a
pleasure too. So I got this question from my good
buddy Christian Bush, one half of the great group sugar Land,
(31:35):
and this may be this is probably something you've never
been asked before in a radio interview, So I had
to throw it out there because it feels like it's
catching on and as I get to CRS Brown and
this might be one that's the most popular one, hopefully
in the entire media room, I hope. But so I'm
a huge WWE wrestling fan and he and out were
in the middle of the conversation of the day in
the interview. We're talking about some stuff there too, and
(31:58):
it got to the rapid fire round, which is all
the funny stuff we do here too. We bring in
sports and music together. And I started talking about his beard,
and this is the weird question. I said, man, you
just got the perfect beard. I cannot grow one like
that too. And we started talking about this a little bit.
I said, you look like the WWE wrestler and CEO
now Triple H who used to be there for a
long time.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
One.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I'm not sure if you're a fan, But where I'm
going with this is I want to kind of do
the first backstage pass like wrestling event in Nashville, like
get the ring, do the whole thing. Have somebody come
down teach artists the choreography of what to do like
in the ring. I think it's a great idea I do.
My question would be like, what would who would you be?
I mean, stay right there, tag match, solo match, A
(32:40):
lady in country music that we could you know, could
work with you on the holes, the maneuvers, all the
good stuff, hitting the rope, flying off the ropes, who
would Bronlin Keith Hines wrestling? What would be her finishing move?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Oh? Man, I don't know anything about wrestling, so I'm
I don't. I don't know I would need I would.
I'm not very strong and I'm deely not very athletic,
so i'd probably I'd probably get.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
My you know, I would not do that. Well, so
I need to wrestle like a child. Maybe that would
be good, like maybe like a teenage girl. Okay, a
fair match or something.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Well, hey, I would do a tag match with you
and be a mixed tag so I would just get
in there. I've done not really trained for it, but
I've done like the taekwondo stuff and everything else. So
I've had the hard falls of that, you know, hitting
that matt in the wrestling thing. It's like nothing but
like plywood in there, so it does hurt. And coming
off the ropes they're like hitting tables and stuff like
that on your back, So it does. They always they say, well,
(33:36):
choreography and everything else, Well it's not real. When they fall,
it's real, it hurts. So I'm just putting that out
there too. And he said you need to try that
question that a CRS and I think it's gonna make
some people laugh and have a good time here, all right.
You know, when it comes to food, my friend, Nashville's
no stranger when it comes to restaurants. When you go
out or do take out with you and the family,
(33:57):
where do you like to eat? Where do you like
to get food from?
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
You know, my favorite place is this place, Moss Tacos
down in East Nashville. It's this Mexican taco place and
they've got a really good pizzole, soup and just really
good tacos.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
That's that's kind of my favorite spot.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I love that one too. And I gotta try a
bar taco. They say this bar taco is actually really
good too, So.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
There's bar Taco totally. Any taco place I'm pretty down with.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
I love that too. All right. Had you never been
a working musician, what other career path would you have chosen?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Okay, I know I just said I'm not very athletic,
but I there's and I'm not, but I always there's
this weird part of me that always thought it would
be fun to be a personal trainer and more for
like this, Like I would I'd be really I am
interested in fitness than I do work out and stuff,
but I'm also interested in like the psychological, like helping people.
It feels like it could be kind of like fiddle lessons,
like you're trying to help people become the best version
(34:49):
of themselves and overcome their own like mental barriers and stuff.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
So maybe maybe i'd be a personal trainer.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I like that, you know, I get out there one
of my favorite spots. I love that Crunch Fitness to
catching on worldwide now to opening up more and more locations,
and I love just taking their classes and learning a
lot from a personal trainer because I tried to do
about three four days a week and mixed in there
with like yoga and all the different classes they have,
like HIT classes, high intensity interval training, which is always
a cool thing to do. And some people are like,
you know what, Brendan, you can just keep it, just
(35:17):
keep it over there, you work out for me. But
I do go there this week. It took the week
off just under the weather a little bit, but going
back it's always fun and they have like the zoomba classes,
the pilates, the bike riding, So I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
It's like if I could searching like if I, you know, like,
I would be so much more in shape if I
like didn't have to go on the road and stuff,
and if I could like to be home and exercise consistently.
I'm like, Wow, I could, I could, really, I could
be cool.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
But yeah, I'd love it too. Like, so I try
to stay in there as much as I can do.
Of course, CRS week throw that out because there'll be
no workouts that week too, as busy as that. And

Speaker 2 (00:55):
It's good, it's good. Well I got to go back
to that performance too at the top because I was
seeing a remember my and we always get to have
the voting privileges that we do, and of course kind
of you know, forecast to show and just talk about
our favorite moments. One of my favorite moments on there
was just seeing you up there having fun with the ladies.
How much of a memory was that, the emotions that
(01:15):
went through you, and of course how much of that
will you take with you now that we're into twenty
twenty five. Talk about that moment?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
For me?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Oh gosh, that was a just sort of like a
milestone moment. You know, I've been a huge fan of
Derk Spentley kind of my whole life. He was one
of the first country artists and bluegrass artists I ever
heard so, and then of course I'm in Molly's band
and I've been a huge fan of both her and
Sierra for years, and you know, we're we're pals, and
you know, hang out at Nashville outside of music and stuff.
(01:44):
But it just to have all, you know, to be
playing with all those people in such a high pressure
and like exciting thing as the CMA Awards was just
like it almost it just didn't really it almost didn't
feel real.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
It just frought like kind of a crazy dream and
it was.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
But it was so cool because kind of felt like
we were all there, you know, right before the curtain opened,
you know, Dirk's is just kind of joking around. We're
all just kind of laughing, and you know, it's like, Wow,
these people are relaxed, and like, I think this is
going to be fun, and I think the you know,
it did turn out to be really fun and you
can kind of see that like sort of relaxed energy.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, it was a great down to music too. Loved
it and the whole show was amazing. Congrats to all
the award winners and of course, hey coming up here
in a few months, you got the Academy of Country
Music and then back at it too CMA Week in
June and then back in November another version of that
CMA Awards. Talk about your career For people that don't
know Bronwyn Keith Hines out there, the fiddle player, just
the great bloodgrass singer, how did you get started in
(02:38):
all this? I'm really interested to kind of hear the
backstory of your career and kind of some inspirations who
inspired you in music.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, so I started out playing fiddle as a young kid.
I started out when I was three years old, and
I guess I apparently I heard some girls busking on
the street when I was three nasked for violin lessons,
But I don't even remember. Like I've been playing fiddle
longer than I can remember, and you know, I just
kind of grew up taking fiddle lessons, going to fiddle camps,
and I always just you know, and anybody would ask
me what I wanted to do, like as a career,
(03:08):
I would just always say I wanted to be a fiddler.
And I didn't really know what that meant, you know,
I just was kind of a little naive and I
was like, I'm just gonna just make money playing fiddle,
like it'll be easy whatever. And you know, that's turned
out to be kind of a pretty a super interesting
and varied career over the years. Like I went to
music college up in Boston at Berkeley College of Music,
(03:31):
and that's where I met Molly Tuttle and Seer a
whole and actually most of the bandmates who were the
Golden Highway Band that Molly leads. We all were just
kind of in school at the same time, but that was,
you know, ten years ago. And in between then, I've
been in different bands, I've led bands, I've I've kind
(03:51):
of just but always as a fiddle player. I've never
really never really sung that much until the last couple
of years. And I guess about three and a half
years ago, Molly put together the Golden Highway Band, which
really kind of took off, and that was sort of
that was really exciting, and I've never you know, I've
never done anything like that before. You know, We've played
(04:12):
Jimmy Kimmel and I played Red Rocks and you know,
just all these like really big, kind of milestone places
and moments. So it's been really exciting. And then I
guess recently the newest thing for me is I've been
starting to put out my own music. I put out
my own solo album, and I've started singing and leading
(04:33):
a band as well.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, I love this album too. We got to jump
into it and I love it. I Built a World
and it came out last May for you guys here
and riding it into twenty twenty five. I know you
have tour in Mexico just recently too. We had talked
about through email and other forms of communication. You and
I've been talking about this and setting everything up, but
I talk about just the tour and just the ride
you've been on too. But this album is fantastic for
(04:55):
bluegrass singers out there. It's something a little bit different,
but it's also the difference in I love the mut
so you can kind of feel it with the fiddle playing,
the emotions kind of you know, get into it, and
especially with the song We're gonna play Can't Live Without
Love here just a little bit with Mully Tuttle and
of course a lot of fantastic people on this record
you got to collaborate with talk about the album and
just the overall body of work, and man, what an excellent,
excellent selection of songs.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Oh gosh, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Well, it was so exciting, you know, putting this album together.
I reached out to a lot of community in the
Nashville area, a lot of friends who are songwriters to
draw material from, and I feel like it's it's a
really cool reflection of sort of like the creative spirits
I'm around. And we tracked it over like a couple
(05:41):
different periods, three main tracking days, and yeah, and then
you know, one of the funnest parts was once it
was all recorded except for the harmony vocals and my
parts were recorded, I got to kind of listen to
the tracks and I really had a good sense for
how they turned out, and kind of then getting to
pick some special guests to sing with me was like
(06:02):
one of the most fun parts. And then you'd have
them come in for the day and lay on their
vocals and just you know, I'd hardly ever recorded myself
singing ever, So not only to hear that recorded, but
then to hear some of my favorite singer's voices with
mine for the first time, like Molly's voice, Dirk's, Bentley's voice,
Sam Bush, Britt Taylor, it was totally surreal and really cool.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah, I love it too. And that leadoff song right there,
We're gonna play right here KKTC True Country ninety nine
point nine. It's bron with Keith Hines. I Built the
World is the title of the album. The title of
the song feature in Molly Tuttle, It's Can't Live Without
Love Here it is KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine, Crank.

(11:25):
here with Bronwin Keith Hines, powered by the Sports Guys
podcast dot com KKCC True Country ninety nine point nine.
You know Bromin, what a great song here to lead off,
Can't Live Without Love and You and Molly Man just
from the opening of it, Uh, pull that crowd in, Uh,
just the fiddle. I mean, everything was just so right
about this song.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Oh thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I love that song. That's that's the first single I
put out from the record, and then I had to
make it the first track on the record because I just.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I just loved it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Let's talk about the inspiration. Just backstories. Take me to
the school of songwriting for Bronwyn Keith Hines. When it
comes to songwriting, so people say they enjoy it too,
they say it's a hassle, they love co writing. Where's
kind of your process? Where do you draw the line?
Is it something you enjoy it? If you do, talk
about the inspirations and your process of songwriting.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
So, actually, songwriting has been something I've been I've been
discovering more in the last couple months than ever before.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I wish I'd written all the songs on my I
built a world record, but I didn't write any of them.
Those are all came from from my community and different people.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
I know.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
That one Can't Live Without Love was written by Jamie Hartford,
who is John Hartford's son, I guess songwriting runs in
the family, but I've been really exploring songwriting recently. I've
had some time at home in Nashville and last month
and I've started co writing.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I mean, it's it's super fun and it's like a.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Blast when it's working, and it's like very humbling and
very frustrating when it's not. And you know, I've it's
been it's such a new thing for me that it's
it's tough sometimes, like because sometimes I'll get impatient with myself.
I'll be like, you know, I feel like I know
how to make good music on the fiddle and I
know how to sing. But then sometimes you know, if
if the stuff isn't flowing that day, it's it's very frustrating.
(13:10):
But then I've had some really amazing days where I've
come up with some really cool songs that I'm excited about,
like recording in the future for the next album.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
So it's a ride.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It is a ride, no doubt. Another one I loved
off of there too, Up for Losing Sleep, And of
course Molly Tuttle featured on this one too. Give me
the backstory of that one.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
That one was written by my friend Maya da Vitri
who I've known. We went to fiddle camp together when
we were teenagers and got into all sorts of trouble
in fiddle camp. But she's a great songwriter and I've
always admired her work. So when she sent this one
to me, I was like, I thought it'd be a
cool one. You know. It's just kind of a little
little one about going out dancing and meeting somebody and
(13:48):
then you get ghosted.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
The vibe I got from it Angel Island. I love
this one starts off kind of like that that you
got some drama right there too, that a little bit
of that. I'm kind of watching a scary movie sometimes
where it kind of draws you in with the opening
chords and stuff like that. And I love it because
it really paints that picture of something kind of astique
out there. What was the word I was looking for,
But it has a lot of suspense in it. I
love this song, Angel Island. Tell me about that one.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I love that one too.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
That one was written by Peter Rowan, who's, you know,
as you know, a major bluegrass legend, and it's about
a place that used to be an immigration port off
the coast of San Francisco. It's an actual island. It
was a place people immigrated through, mostly from Asia, and
I've always been kind of really interested in immigration stories.
(14:36):
My grandparents were immigrants from Ireland who came over during
World War Two, and they have their own harrowing immigration
story that I won't get into here, but I just,
you know, stories like that are always draw me in
and intrigued me. And I just I've always kind of
been intrigued by the story of that song, and just yeah,
the song in general.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, you mentioned those collaborations are becoming kind of more
of the norm in the industry today, and I'm loving
seeing a lot of the crossovers too, and we're seeing
like a post Malone, you know, come over and kind
of do his thing. But I'll tell you this, the
ladies and you're right there included with it. But this
class of ladies right now, and just throwing a few
names out there with Lady Wilson and Ashley Cook, Hannah
Ellis and of course Carly Pierce doing her thing. Can't
(15:17):
recall maybe since the nineties country that I grew up
on loving that so much that ladies now kind of
getting their you know, due diligence in country music, talk
about just the way they're kind of getting a little
bit more of the headlines these days too, and more
ladies are kind of doing their thing out there.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yeah, I think it's great. I mean, it's good for
me being a woman.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And you know, I've even I even feel like I've
seen a change in like, you know, maybe just at
people's attitudes about that. And maybe even in the last
ten years or so, you know, I think I used
to worry about the fact that I was a woman
wanting to be in bluegrass, which is such a male
dominated field, and like what would that mean for me
(15:56):
getting jobs? Would it be harder to get a job
or you know, just different things. But it's I feel
like I've finally been at the script has been flipped,
and now it feels like an empowering thing, and you know,
and it feels like women are more maybe hopefully on
more of an equal playing field with men. And I
(16:17):
love being in a band that has both genders, and
I think that's really fun in the Golden Highway band,
and I love just sort of the energy that brings.
You know, we're all friends, we all tease each other
and joke around and it's it feels very natural to
have both genders, you know, it kind of feels like
maybe how it should be.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
So yeah, I love it too. And it's the friendships
you develop in this industry and of course all those
great relationships because many times you go there to an
event like coming up here, the Country Radio Seminar, coming
up to nineteenth and the twenty first there too, and
you never know you're going to run into and it's
just keeping those great relationships. And I love that too,
because that's all that the business is about today is
you know, you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours type thing.
(16:57):
But also just those those contacts and that's now you
guys are able to get out there on tour and
I can't wait to see you in Texas. We're talking
about that before the show. Get a chance to kind
of come out there too, and come to Texas and play.
It's a cool crowd down here. When they like your stuff,
they're gonna really kind of dive into it too. Excited
about coming to Texas.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I love Texas. Yeah, we had a blast last year.
We did a whole week long tour with Golden Highway
in Texas and I'm excited to do my own gigs
in Texas in April. I'm playing in April and Dallas
Austin and doing a festival in Luke and Box.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
So super excited.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
You're gonna love Luke Inbox Texas, no doubt about that.
Off the record too, I love that I built a
world to get back here. Bronwin Keith Hines on the
backstage pass again powered by the Sports Guys podcast dot
com and out there exclusive KKTC True Country ninety nine
point nine. There in Tallas, New Mexico. Scotty's ho Down.
We got to go there, my friend.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Oh yes, Scotty's Hodown. Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
So this one was written by Scottie Stoneman, who was
just kind of like a ridiculous bluegrass fiddle pioneer in
the fifties and sixties, just like just kind of like
totally virtuosic, amazing fiddler who unfortunately died kind of young,
but he left an amazing legacy of you know, of
(18:11):
licks and songs and way he had this amazing version
of Orange Blossom Special where he was kind of like,
I don't know, I think sometimes like trick fiddling can
be like a little silly or whatever. But the way
he did trick fiddling on Orange Blossom Special was like
incredible because he wasn't sacrificing like the music for the tricks,
but he was somehow managing to play crazy licks as
(18:33):
fast as possible, like on the floor, behind his back,
on the floor, just you name it, he was doing it. Anyways,
that tune was written by him and it was fiddle
all the way through for three and a half minutes,
and I just kind of thought that was pretty cool.
I didn't put any other like instrumentals on the record,
so I was like, well, I'm going to put just
one instrumental on the record. Maybe I'll just I'll just
(18:53):
solo the whole way through and he play as many
hot licks and ideas as I can.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Great song, no doubt answers toward the bottom of the
album here and the great Britt Taylor getting a chance
to feature her, what was that relationship?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Like, Britt Taylor is somebody I've been admiring for a while.
You know, she's primarily a country artist, but she also
has deep bluegrass roots, and I love artists that blend
country and bluegrass because I love both of those styles.
And I'm really you know, I don't see any reason
why it should be one or the other. You know,
it's so it's so, you know, they're all connected. So
(19:25):
I just thought she I love her voice, and I
loved the record she put out recently called Kentucky Blue
She put out a country version of it, and then
she re recorded all her songs like bluegrass style, and
it was like called Kentucky Bluegrass, and I was like, Oh,
it's so cool. Anyways, so I asked her to sing
on that just because I wanted to get a chance
to sing with her.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Amazing, amazing talent, no doubt too. And the crossover is
just one of those natural talents that she has too.
I want to ask you about nineties country here too,
because I recently just got a chance to talk to
you right there before Christmas time. He's still out there
doing it. One of the greatest of all time in bluegrass,
and of course he is country music. I think it's
a fifteen time Grammy Award winner. Ricky Skagg's amazing, amazing
vocalist and performer out there too. As far as growing
(20:09):
up and things like that. When you think of nineties country,
give you your top three to maybe five artists that
you kind of grew up jam and two on the
radio or just listening to that free Courts in the Truth.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Oh gosh, well, I mean I loved Ricky Skaggs. I
used to really love Kenny Chesney. Gosh, who else would
I dig?
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Toby Keith.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I don't know if these are crossovers into two thousands country,
if you would you know where we draw the line here.
Also Brooks and Done, I mean, they've got a really
long career, but they're, you know, one of my favorites,
and we're actually getting a chance to open for them
at a number of arena shows this spring with the
Mally Tittle Band.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
So we'll get our boot scoot and boogie on.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I've never learned that line dance, I mean, I.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I better.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Have you ever done that? Like at a club or
did that a bar?
Speaker 9 (20:58):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I've never gotten to do it, So I want to.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I've been learning all over again and just taking my
wife out and just do the line dance again. I'm
gonna have to.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, yeah, you gotta come to one of these shows.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
You come to Texas, my friend I am there and hey,
if it's the Brooks and Dune thing or whatever it is,
we learn these line dances all over again. I used
to take those dance lessons back, you know, when I
got married and they've been married now fourteen years and
we have a daughter, and that's something to say. When
you have kids, it's like you forget the fun stuff,
but you work all the time, which I do. But
I still got to learn the line dances all over again.
And maybe we could coordinate a line dance to some
(21:30):
of these songs. When I built the World.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, exactly, that could be a thing. You know, i''ll
TikTok dance or something.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Well, TikTok dance too. My daughter, actually, she loves your
record too, and she loves the bluegrass field. She's five
years old coming up here in April, and man, she
loves these these tunes. Like I said, again, all this
music out there available for streaming. I built the World
in Bronwin, Keith Hines. Right now, you're going to play

Speaker 2 (27:35):
A guest are from the clay Aristudios, the clay Air
dot Com our guests Brian McKeith Hines across all those
digital streaming platforms out there. The new album I Built
a World, So ges when you mentioned Dirk's playing right there,
Bron went on these CMA's Trip around the Sun and uh,
another great song on this album. Talk about this one
for me?
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Oh gosh, well tre Brown the Sun Gosh.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I just I wanted a song I wanted to sing
with Dirk's Bentley like I thought that would be so cool,
and I couldn't believe it when he said yes, Like
I was.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Like so nervous sending the text. I was like, well,
it's worth a shot, but like, who knows.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I mean, this is like he's got much better things
to do, I'm sure, but he said yes, And you know,
I love that song in general. I thought it turned
out really cool. We had this big fiddle solo in
it that it's kind of like starts out real slow
and kind of build it up, and that's been really
fun live because we've been kind of stretching it out
and doing you know, just kind of letting the solo
(28:33):
go as long as it wants to go. But it
was very surreal having Dirk's come in. He like just
came into the little backyard studio I've been recording in
down in East Nashville at a friend's house and and
just knocked it out in about an hour. He was
so quick and had all these cool different harmony ideas.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
So let's good. It's like pros probe. Like I said,
when they knock it out in the amount of time,
you don't think it's gonna be But like I said,
they're like all these great ideas and doing it for
a long time too. You can always tell too when
they wrap it up quickly out there. Just put a
great spin on a great tune out there too. Hey
talk about I'm gonna take a littlest step back here
to twenty twenty right there before all the COVID stuff,
the Fiddler's Pastime, and I want to go into a
(29:14):
little bit of just a couple songs off their first
open Water and the Great Sierra Hole. This was a
great collaboration here.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Yeah, So I wrote that I was actually the first
tune I wrote for that album, and that was my
first album I'd ever put out, and I wrote that one.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
I wrote it a little bit. At the first part
of it.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I wrote at IBMA, which is the International Bluegrass Music Association,
like you know, yearly conference, and I was just sitting
on some steps in the hotel, just I had some
time in the afternoon and I just kind of messing around.
But people kept I knew a lot of people there,
and people would I'd be starting to play and the
people would stop me and I'd talk and anyways, Yeah,
I love how that one turned out. It was also
(29:51):
really inspired by like a Ronnie McCurry tune, like he
recorded so many great instrumentals with the del Ma Curry Band,
and and I've always loved his bluegrass instrumentals, Like I
think there they've got a combination of like sounding really
traditional in one sense, but they're also like nothing you've
ever heard in another sense, and it's like how do
you find that balance? And I don't know, So I
(30:13):
was trying to find that with open Water and see
here a hole you know, just came in there and
added so much to it.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
It was so cool to play with her.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Oh yeah, she crushes it, like I said, like just
one of those ladies that can can cross over and
do some great things too. Another one off there. We
talked about line dancing line dancing a little bit, but
I thought this was kind of cool Brown with the
Hendersonville hop. You got to take me through this one.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yeah, Andersonville hop, well, gosh, I don't know. I think
there's a there's a song on Bailiflex Drive album called
Blue Mountain Hop.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
I think.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
And I always just thought hop was like a cool
description of it too. And I don't really know what
it means, but you know, hop skipping a jump or something.
I don't know, so it was sort of like inspired
by that in terms of the title. But my now
husband lived up in Hendersonville and Jason Carter, so you know,
at that time I was going back and forth from
(31:08):
Nashville to Hendersonville a lot to see him, and so
that was kind of where it came from.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
I love it too, arrived a little fun here too,
and all the music available for digital streaming out there too,
wherever you guys download and stream your music out there,
and check out Bronmin Keith Hines dot com for all
the tour information and all the other great information out
there too on the artist to a website. We always
like to put that out there for your viewing a
pleasure too. So I got this question from my good
buddy Christian Bush, one half of the great group sugar Land,
(31:35):
and this may be this is probably something you've never
been asked before in a radio interview, So I had
to throw it out there because it feels like it's
catching on and as I get to CRS Brown and
this might be one that's the most popular one, hopefully
in the entire media room, I hope. But so I'm
a huge WWE wrestling fan and he and out were
in the middle of the conversation of the day in
the interview. We're talking about some stuff there too, and
(31:58):
it got to the rapid fire round, which is all
the funny stuff we do here too. We bring in
sports and music together. And I started talking about his beard,
and this is the weird question. I said, man, you
just got the perfect beard. I cannot grow one like
that too. And we started talking about this a little bit.
I said, you look like the WWE wrestler and CEO
now Triple H who used to be there for a
long time.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
One.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I'm not sure if you're a fan, But where I'm
going with this is I want to kind of do
the first backstage pass like wrestling event in Nashville, like
get the ring, do the whole thing. Have somebody come
down teach artists the choreography of what to do like
in the ring. I think it's a great idea I do.
My question would be like, what would who would you be?
I mean, stay right there, tag match, solo match, A
(32:40):
lady in country music that we could you know, could
work with you on the holes, the maneuvers, all the
good stuff, hitting the rope, flying off the ropes, who
would Bronlin Keith Hines wrestling? What would be her finishing move?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Oh? Man, I don't know anything about wrestling, so I'm
I don't. I don't know I would need I would.
I'm not very strong and I'm deely not very athletic,
so i'd probably I'd probably get.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
My you know, I would not do that. Well, so
I need to wrestle like a child. Maybe that would
be good, like maybe like a teenage girl. Okay, a
fair match or something.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Well, hey, I would do a tag match with you
and be a mixed tag so I would just get
in there. I've done not really trained for it, but
I've done like the taekwondo stuff and everything else. So
I've had the hard falls of that, you know, hitting
that matt in the wrestling thing. It's like nothing but
like plywood in there, so it does hurt. And coming
off the ropes they're like hitting tables and stuff like
that on your back, So it does. They always they say, well,
(33:36):
choreography and everything else, Well it's not real. When they fall,
it's real, it hurts. So I'm just putting that out
there too. And he said you need to try that
question that a CRS and I think it's gonna make
some people laugh and have a good time here, all right.
You know, when it comes to food, my friend, Nashville's
no stranger when it comes to restaurants. When you go
out or do take out with you and the family,
(33:57):
where do you like to eat? Where do you like
to get food from?
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
You know, my favorite place is this place, Moss Tacos
down in East Nashville. It's this Mexican taco place and
they've got a really good pizzole, soup and just really
good tacos.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
That's that's kind of my favorite spot.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I love that one too. And I gotta try a
bar taco. They say this bar taco is actually really
good too, So.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
There's bar Taco totally. Any taco place I'm pretty down with.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
I love that too. All right. Had you never been
a working musician, what other career path would you have chosen?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Okay, I know I just said I'm not very athletic,
but I there's and I'm not, but I always there's
this weird part of me that always thought it would
be fun to be a personal trainer and more for
like this, Like I would I'd be really I am
interested in fitness than I do work out and stuff,
but I'm also interested in like the psychological, like helping people.
It feels like it could be kind of like fiddle lessons,
like you're trying to help people become the best version
(34:49):
of themselves and overcome their own like mental barriers and stuff.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
So maybe maybe i'd be a personal trainer.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I like that, you know, I get out there one
of my favorite spots. I love that Crunch Fitness to
catching on worldwide now to opening up more and more locations,
and I love just taking their classes and learning a
lot from a personal trainer because I tried to do
about three four days a week and mixed in there
with like yoga and all the different classes they have,
like HIT classes, high intensity interval training, which is always
a cool thing to do. And some people are like,
you know what, Brendan, you can just keep it, just
(35:17):
keep it over there, you work out for me. But
I do go there this week. It took the week
off just under the weather a little bit, but going
back it's always fun and they have like the zoomba classes,
the pilates, the bike riding, So I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
It's like if I could searching like if I, you know, like,
I would be so much more in shape if I
like didn't have to go on the road and stuff,
and if I could like to be home and exercise consistently.
I'm like, Wow, I could, I could, really, I could
be cool.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
But yeah, I'd love it too. Like, so I try
to stay in there as much as I can do.
Of course, CRS week throw that out because there'll be
no workouts that week too, as busy as that. And
of course I know you guys are busy out there
touring too. One of the best to do it out
there Bluegrass and then some I Built the World is
