Speaker 3 (01:00):
Not much?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Man?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Doing well? How you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
It's been a day, man, I can tell you that

some things done, and of course, so you guys have
some new music out there for folks to check out,
of course, brand new EP across all the DSPs out

on in your world and how twenty twenty five has
been so far for you.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, man, it's it's been a crazy year as well.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, we started the year released the EP called the
Angels five Songs, you know, a long time coming.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Had been writing for that EP for at least a year.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
And yeah, at the beginning of the year, I was
living in Los Angeles and the eating fires there, the
wildfires got dangerously close to my apartment. The family picked
up and moved back east. And so this year has
been eventful to say the least. But yeah, having a
great time basically just enjoying the music we released, writing
(01:56):
new music for the next EP, and just continuing to grow.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Oh so yeah, it's been great.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, it's all about that growth. Talk about just your background.
You mentioned I mentioned kind at the top there sports
music had come together. You mentioned pro hockey, you know,
playing that too, and then of course, you know sometimes
I know it's it's tough in pro sports, in any
sport to make it out there too, and sometimes cuts happened,
and then you got to go to kind of you know,
play and b and for you it was music.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, yeah, I had the genius idea to try to
be a pro athlete and then a pro musician. So yeah, no,
I grew up playing hockey from a young age. I
knew how to skate for as long as I could remember,
kind of a hockey family and that was the first
good chunk of my life. Played in college, a little
bit of pro down in Texas, and uh yeah, when
(02:44):
that dream ended, I switched it over to music. But
you know, I played music from a young age too.
I started playing drums when I was nine or ten,
and you know, I just kind of grew up nineties rock.
That kind of stuff was the first stuff I was
really listening to. Started playing bands as a drummer in
high school and then kind of fell in love with
songwriting later. And then yeah, through the years, playing hockey
(03:08):
in different states and kind of traveling the country, couldn't
really bring my drum set, so bought a cheap acoustic guitar,
taught myself some chords.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Learned some tunes.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I had to, you know, learn how to sing in
the car on the way to the rink, and.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, I just practiced from there.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
And then yeah, once I was playing hockey in college,
my outlet probably should have been more studying, but I
was starting bands and playing open mics and playing shows
and then, yeah, basically I wanted to kind of see
my hockey dream through because I'd spent so many years
and hours on that. And then when that came to
an end, I just decided, you know, I had all
(03:44):
this passion for music and had been kind of wanting
to pursue it for a long long time, and that
was kind of my excuse to just keep going. So
just switched the dream over to music and been plugging
away ever since.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
When you first picked up an instrument, But any good
covers with songs that you kind of like playing what
genre of music? Talk about that for me?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, you know, all over the place. I think, you know,
it's kind of a meme. But like the first one
of the first songs you learned is like a Wonderwall
by Oasis. Yeah, so I definitely was that guy for
a bit, But you know, I always like to branch out,
you know, I like to try to do like you know,
I take like a female pop song, I take like
Teina Turner, What's Love.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Got to Do with It?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And do like an acoustic version of that, and you know,
it led me into more singer songwriter stuff eventually some country,
and I'm kind of genre lists.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I would say my bass has always been rock and roll,
but if it's a good song and it speaks to me,
then I enjoy listening to it.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
So nowadays I kind of listen to everything.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Well, about to play cut off here on the record too.
Of the Angels ep out there across all the DSPs
out there too, came out to May night before I
play this cut. I know, I don't know tell us
all about.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
It, yeah, you know, I know, I don't know that
was It's basically just kind of my respective on life
at this point, which is, you know, I've to plan
all these things, had all these different goals, and what
I've come to is, you know, I have no idea
what we're doing here. I don't think anybody really does.
And I think trying to not plan everything, you know,
(05:15):
you got to have goals for sure, but I think
surrendering to the process of things. Whatever you're doing, whether
it's music or business or whatever you're working on, you
just kind of focus on, you know, focus on your
daily process, focus on your mood, focus on making yourself
happy and serving others and not trying to figure everything out.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I think that's kind of my perspective on the song.
And those are the lyrics that came out on the day.
We were all sitting around kind of having a conversation
along those lines, and that was the song that popped out.
Speaker 2 (05:49):

iHeartRadio Podcast now a top search podcast on iHeartRadio two.
Appreciate all the great folks that made that happened too,
And of course you just crossed a million streams this
(13:03):
past summer. In July. You know you mentioned that song
we talked about that got to play a great feel
on this and I love this EP kind of shed
some light on it for me. When you guys were
selecting songs for The Angels, Epe Chuckie, I love this.
The Best night of my life was my favorite off
of there too. When I'm sitting here, you know, picking songs.
I loved it all, but I guess I had to,
you know, really fine tune into one song that was
really cool, and The Jones was another cool one. I like,
(13:25):
talk about that for me.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Thanks for saying that, Yeah, I appreciate it. The Jones
was the last song we wrote for the EP. Actually, yeah,
you know, just kind of the idea of keeping up
with the Jones. I think that's the theme most people
nowadays could probably relate to. You know, we're all on
social media staring at other people's lives all day, staring
at everybody's highlights, and sometimes that can.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Feel like, oh, man, like am I doing enough?
Speaker 14 (13:50):
You know?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
And so we wanted to write a song about that.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
We felt like we wanted at least one more song
that felt kind of happy melodically and energetically, So we
wanted to keep it kind of up tempo and upbeat,
and uh yeah, that's the song that popped out. We
were playing along, playing around with that concept of keeping
up with the Jones, and uh yeah, that's where we
ended up.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
But thank you.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
The part of my life was actually my favorite as well.
And I haven't met too many other people that have
said that, so I appreciate you saying that.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Hey, we got similar tastes in sports and music there too.
It's well I had to have you here on the
program too. Hey, you know we talked about that at
the top. How sports and music really, you know, come
together and they're so closely related. How did sports being
a pro athlete, and you mentioned playing in college, you know,
kind of get your mind right as far as to
compete in life, and you know, go by that slogan
(14:43):
is nothing's going to be handed to You have to
work for everything you get, and you know that that
being a team player, things like that, and and kind
of when the pro career was over to transition into music,
talk about how sports kind of set the tone for
you a little bit.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, absolutely, I mean in some ways I felt like, oh,
I'm a little behind the curve because I haven't been
the guy like solely focused on music my whole life, right.
But on the flip side, yeah, when you're playing sports
at a higher level, you got to deal with rejection
and disappointment. You got to gain resilience, You have to
have thick skin. You know, it's you're gonna get rejected,
(15:18):
You're gonna play terrible sometimes. And I was a goalie,
so I mean, like all the eyes are on you
when you fail. Everybody in the place sees it. And
so you know, it's very much the same in music.
You know, you don't just start playing music, or very
few people start playing music, put music out and find success.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
You're gonna hit roadblocks.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And so I think it really equipped me coming into
pursuing music to understand.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
That this was not gonna be some easy ride.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
You know, there was gonna have to be failures and
assessing your weaknesses and all things that you have to
do in sports that really translate over to music. So
I found that it really helped me out.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You know how we talked about how social media is
such a powerful, powerful instrument day to get people were
on it constantly with reels and looking at other people's lives.
And of course you know for musicians it's now changed
from what I grew up in nineties country, you know,
the cell of the CD and things like that, and
of course the vinyl records. They're starting to make a
little bit of a comeback there too. But as far
as growing up that genre of music, I love nineties
(16:17):
country so much. Were you a big fan of that era?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Honestly, I wasn't, and I wasn't not a fan. I
wasn't very aware of it.
Speaker 9 (16:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I grew up in Massachusetts and my upbringing was like
nineties rock and metal, and then I didn't really start
branching out till later in life. You know, I think,
you know, especially at that time in the nineties, it
was like this was the type of music you liked.
You either like hip hop or you like rock, or
you like country, and you didn't really cross pollinate as much.
(16:49):
And so yeah, it wasn't until later on I started
listening to country and kind of hearing a lot of
similarities that I would.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Have in rock.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
But there was a lyricism that was there that wasn't
necessarily there in rock. I was really starting to grab onto.
So yeah, like nowadays, you know, it's everything, it's country,
it's rock, it's pop.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I end up.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I don't end up discovering that much new music, unfortunately.
I always just kind of revert to what I what
I know, uh and listen to the same old, same
old thing. But yeah, coming in and really gaining an
understanding of how how lyrical country was and spending a
little time in Nashville at certain points really kind of
(17:31):
opened up my eyes as a writer.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yeah, you got admit too. You mentioned how the competition
is right now too, because everywhere you look, there's somebody
new out there making music, no doubt about it. With
these songs and of course the great songwriters that Nashville has,
and it's it's really hard. It's probably one of the
challenges I want to ask you about too, because it's
pretty cool when you get a chance to step up
there on stage and perform these songs for a crowd.
Talk about that kind of that performing arts business, creative
(17:54):
arts business, and how songwriting you know comes for you.
Is it a natural thing? Is there some of it
kind of fantasy? Year do you feel like it's a
you know, personal experience, And give me the best part
of kind of being on stage.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Best part of.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Being on stage I think is you know, the work
is pretty much done right. You've rehearsed the songs, you've
written the songs. I guess I would relate it to
like a game and practice, right. Practice is when you
try things and you mess up, and then by the
time you get to a game, you're trying to not
think very much. You're just trying to be present in
the moment and be in that flow state whatever you
(18:27):
want to call it, where or you're in the zone,
and you're just trying to feed off the crowd and
and you know, perform the songs honestly, moment to moment,
feed off the crowd, feed off your bandmates, and just
kind of be authentic in the moment.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I guess it's the best way I can put it.
But it's a rush.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
It's it's pretty much the same as playing in front
of a crowd, playing a sports game in front of
a crowd, That rush is very much the same.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, idea is too. Like I said, I know for
a lot of people there, it's the best time of
the year be a sports fan. You got, like I said,
hockey is about to start, NBA, you got the NFL,
you got college, you got the baseball playoffs coming up
with the last week of the regular season and the
postseason starting in October. I know for you you mentioned
living in La going over to Boston now too, and
I'll tell you this, man, it was it sucked to
see Alex Bregman leave the Astros and go to the
(19:12):
Red Sox. It feel like it was one of them
turncoat things for you. What does it in h like
pro hockey, baseball, basketball, football? You mentioned a big hockey fan.
Who's your who's your hockey? And the pro team up there?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
So it's funny.
Speaker 14 (19:23):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I grew up, like I said, around Boston, so I
always was a Boston fan. But you know, because I
was a goaltender, and because I ended up kind of
moving all around the country, I just end up following
certain goalies.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Like so I just find a goalie that I like.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I like to watch a young goalie come up and
see how they do in the big leagues and follow
their career and try to pinpoint who I think is
gonna gonna make it, and you know, just you kind
of keep an eye out for talent. So that nowadays
is more what excites me as opposed to rooting for
a certain city. I guess which isn't typical in Boston.
(19:58):
You know, Boston hard like you know Boston everything. But
for me, I just I just kind of gravitate towards
certain athletes.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, it's cool too, And I know for me back
in the day, it was Mike Madonna. I usually fashioned
a lot of the things that I did in life.
That the way he played hockey to the way I
just kind of you know, constructed, like you said, business
and things like that, and you know, work my career
and kind of being the person that I wanted to
be and now being a dad. It really changed you
for the best. But I liked to how Mike MacDonald,
you know, lived his lifestyle and he was one of
my favorites and album to play with the Dallas Stars.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
One of the best American hockey players. For sure's a legend.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
That's what I used to be a Stars fan. I
still love. I'm like you, I love watching hockey live
in the rink more than I do actually on TV.
Do you like that too?
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I tell people that all the time.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I'm like, because you know, if you haven't played hockey
or you don't have that background, the puck is a
little hard to follow.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
On the TV.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I'm like, you got to go see it in person.
You got to get the speed and the energy of it,
the physicality of it. And usually when people see it
in person, they have a better appreciation for it, for.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Sure, no doubt. I actually went to one the Dallas
Stars game back in my early days, no doubt about it,
and just went to a Preds game in Nashville during
the CMA week or CMA I should say CRS week,
but always too. It's always fun to get out there
and see, like I said, those pro hockey games too,
and it was kind of fun doing that during CRS
week to see the Preds play there too. Time for

Welcome to another edition of Backstage Pass powered by the

Speaker 2 (28:43):
And Chuck you Brown back here with us on the
backstage pass again powered by the Sports Guys podcast dot com.
It's a grand slam music sports entertainment. We do it
all out there, djservices and there's not anything we don't
do out there now too. When it comes down to it, Chuck,
you knows you got to make a living somehowut there
not just in the podcast way too. We appreciate you guys,
all the listeners out there that make the show possible
all night. We we've talked about this, we've all been there.
(29:04):
One more round off the Angels EP. Tell us all
about it. Where you were, what you did when this
song came to mind? Because I love this song too.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Oh I appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, yeah, I remember very well writing this tune us
probably two or three years ago now. But yeah, we
all sat down and we we had written a few
songs together, the guys I was writing with, and we'd
written some stuff that was on the more somber side,
and we were like, you know what, today, let's just
let's just have fun. Let's write something that's fun. And yeah,
(29:33):
we're just talking about like, what are the most fun times?
And we had all kind of agreed it's sometimes it's
those nice where you're just completely letting loose and you're
not thinking about tomorrow, you're not thinking about yesterday. You're
just you're just maybe in a bit of a daze
with some people you like, and you know, what happens
there stays there, and yeah, we just wanted to write
(29:53):
a song about it, and that's what came out.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
It's a great song, no doubt, you know. And Angels
EP across all those DSPs out there for digital streaming
where you guys download or stream music out there. As
far as we mentioned these artists, I tell you another
thing too. I love about this kind of a two
parter collaborations becoming a huge, huge thing in music today.
When you look at all these crossovers, Suit Chucky, I
love the fact that you see a little bit of
(30:19):
I know we were at CMA Wig this past year
and world renowned. I mean you see Akon coming there
with Gary Lavaux, the Rascal Flats and they have this
summer anthem you know they're putting out there, you know,
Vince Gill and Luke Colmbs and of course Luke Colmbs.
And you look at Shenandoah bringing back at two dozen
Roses song, which I know went to number one again
for that version. They put out what does that mean
to the industry and talk about just how important that
(30:41):
is because you get some brilliant minds in the room.
It's amazing what can come out of that.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Right, absolutely, And you know, I know people are sometimes
divided on those things. You know, there's there's always the
purest in any genre, right and I understand that, and
then there's people who want to push the envelope and
and just keep trying new things.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
And you know, I think both are important.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I love hearing a record that sounds like it came
out in the eighties or nineties and you look and
it's like, oh, came out in twenty twenty five. But
I also like hearing the blend of genres where you're
just like, oh, I haven't heard that before.
Speaker 14 (31:12):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I think the music that's most exciting for me is
when it surprises me. And I think that's in any
art form. You know, you don't want to be watching
a movie or a TV show and you go, all right,
I know everything that's going to happen here this guy's
gonna get killed this you know, I like the surprise,
and so when people are kind of flipping the script
a little bit, I think it keeps it fresh.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
It does no doubt about it too. All right, let's
get to some fun stuff here. Look, I'm not making
a prediction for this World Series. I know it's not
going to be the Houston Astros when it comes down
to it. When it baseball wise, I guess, one do
you follow it? And two it's always fun when it's
the playoffs. We mentioned about how it's like watching hockey
in person's more fun than watching hockey on TV. But
I guess, will you watch these baseball playoffs? And I
(31:53):
know for look for Boston fans, they always love their
Red Sox, and of course not too far to the
I guess to the north, they're too looking at it.
But the Philadelphia Phillies, this could be their year, right.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
You know what, I'm going to be disowned by my
Boston friends, but I don't follow baseball in the slightest.
I will say though, and I'll say this like, I
like playoffs in anything. So if someone's like, hey, the
World Series is on, like I'll put it on because
there's stakes, you know, with baseball and hockey. Honestly, like
I'll keep an eye on the hockey scores throughout the season,
(32:26):
but they play eighty five games baseball.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
It's like one hundred and something. I'm like, let me
know what it matters.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
So so yeah, I'm a bit of a fairweather guy
in that sense. But like I said, I enjoy anything
with a little pressure with some stakes involved. So I'll
definitely throw on the finals.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
I love that. It's always fun to watch the postseason,
especially that wildcard series. That first best of three is
always fun to watch in that first round. With the
expanded playoffs now in the MLB, and of course I
found out today they're going to that automated balls and
strike system for twenty twenty six now too, where each
coach is going to get some challenges things like that too,
where you can actually challet and ball and the strike,
which I mean, come in the game, man, let's let's
if we're gonna do it, let's do it right. You
(33:04):
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Absolutely, Yeah, you got that in hockey too, where you
can challenge a goal and if yeah, it gets turned
over as a penalty, and you know, they've made a
system with.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
It, so I mean it's worked out there too. And
I'm not a big fan of the extra innings rule
in baseball, but I can tell you this, as long
as it works for both sides, you're getting equality. That's
all that matters out there. I just talk some food
here too, because I go to Nashville. I feels like
there's some kind of test market all the time for
Nashville opening up some new restaurant where there'd be any
type of food out there too. I guess two part
are here. Do you cook? If you do, what do
(33:33):
you like to cook? And then, if not, what's on
the takeout menu for Chucky Brown?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Oh fantastic. I can cook a little bit, but we're
talking like scrambled eggs. We're talking, you know, big chicken.
I'm pretty boring when it comes to food. But I'm
a pizza guy. I can eat frozen pizza. I can
eat a New York Slice and anything in between. So
if I'm doing takeout, it's normally gonna be a pizza.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
I love it too. Hey, I had to get your
opinion on this female country movement right now too, because
it is you look one after another that we mentioned
how talented the male side is too, but man, this
is I mean, Landy Wilson kind of the Queen Bee.
I mean you look at Megan Maroney for Scilla Block
and Ella Langley and I mean the names go on
and on. Hannah ellis right now, pretty good time to
be a female country artist too, right.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Sure, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
And I'll admit, like I keep my finger on the
pulse a little bit, but I'm always in my own
tunnel vision, so I try to not digest pop music
too much, only because I don't want to feel like
I start chasing a trend. But of course, you know,
like I'm happy to see male female whatever, you know,
like equality, you know, let it go like.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
I'm happy to see it. I'm happy to hear about it.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I don't have, unfortunately, too much more to say on
that one, but God bless them.
Speaker 11 (34:45):
All.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Right, we'll finish with this one. Give me a dream
collaboration with either an artist that's dead or one that's
currently alive. It could be any genre of music you
get to pick. Who would it be? A solo artist
or a band man?
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Phil Collins, It's gonna throw you there. Unfortunately, I think
he's you know, he's getting pretty old. I don't know
how much he's collaborating, so that's definitely just a dream.
But you know, I started as a drummer, like I
mentioned earlier, Phil Collins started as a drummer, pivoted into
being a huge recording artist, so he was always an
inspiration for me. I know he's a lover hate guy.
(35:18):
He's like the Nickelback of the eighties. But yeah, but yeah,
I definitely say Phil Collins.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
I love that good answer right there too. Like I said,
still going strong out there. Do you love some Phil Collins,
No doubt about it too. And hey man, I love
this EP. That's why we had to have you those
worlds collide. I love it there for sports, music and
entertainment out there too, Chuckie Brown, make sure you guys
check it out. And hey, if Chuckie, if they want
to find out more information, where can they find you?
On socials website? Put that stuff out there for the fans.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Yeah, I'm on all socials.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I am Chucky Brown on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, all that YouTube.
Not too many other Chucky Brown's out there, so it
should be pretty easy to find.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Spelling for you cchu Ckie, Chuckie Brown. Make sure you
guys spell it correctly out there too, because there are
different ways to spell it out there too. At the
same time, hey man, we appreciate you being a part

Thanks so much for having me. I really appreciate it.
And yeah, enjoy that baseball.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
I'll definitely enjoy some postseason baseball if my astros are
a part of it, or even if they're not a
part of it there too, looking back at it too,
We've got a couple of titles we'll celebrate there in

been so far for you.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, man, it's it's been a crazy year as well.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, we started the year released the EP called the
Angels five Songs, you know, a long time coming.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Had been writing for that EP for at least a year.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
And yeah, at the beginning of the year, I was
living in Los Angeles and the eating fires there, the
wildfires got dangerously close to my apartment. The family picked
up and moved back east. And so this year has
been eventful to say the least. But yeah, having a
great time basically just enjoying the music we released, writing
(01:56):
new music for the next EP, and just continuing to grow.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Oh so yeah, it's been great.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, it's all about that growth. Talk about just your background.
You mentioned I mentioned kind at the top there sports
music had come together. You mentioned pro hockey, you know,
playing that too, and then of course, you know sometimes
I know it's it's tough in pro sports, in any
sport to make it out there too, and sometimes cuts happened,
and then you got to go to kind of you know,
play and b and for you it was music.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, yeah, I had the genius idea to try to
be a pro athlete and then a pro musician. So yeah, no,
I grew up playing hockey from a young age. I
knew how to skate for as long as I could remember,
kind of a hockey family and that was the first
good chunk of my life. Played in college, a little
bit of pro down in Texas, and uh yeah, when
(02:44):
that dream ended, I switched it over to music. But
you know, I played music from a young age too.
I started playing drums when I was nine or ten,
and you know, I just kind of grew up nineties rock.
That kind of stuff was the first stuff I was
really listening to. Started playing bands as a drummer in
high school and then kind of fell in love with
songwriting later. And then yeah, through the years, playing hockey
(03:08):
in different states and kind of traveling the country, couldn't
really bring my drum set, so bought a cheap acoustic guitar,
taught myself some chords.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Learned some tunes.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I had to, you know, learn how to sing in
the car on the way to the rink, and.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, I just practiced from there.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
And then yeah, once I was playing hockey in college,
my outlet probably should have been more studying, but I
was starting bands and playing open mics and playing shows
and then, yeah, basically I wanted to kind of see
my hockey dream through because I'd spent so many years
and hours on that. And then when that came to
an end, I just decided, you know, I had all
(03:44):
this passion for music and had been kind of wanting
to pursue it for a long long time, and that
was kind of my excuse to just keep going. So
just switched the dream over to music and been plugging
away ever since.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
When you first picked up an instrument, But any good
covers with songs that you kind of like playing what
genre of music? Talk about that for me?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, you know, all over the place. I think, you know,
it's kind of a meme. But like the first one
of the first songs you learned is like a Wonderwall
by Oasis. Yeah, so I definitely was that guy for
a bit, But you know, I always like to branch out,
you know, I like to try to do like you know,
I take like a female pop song, I take like
Teina Turner, What's Love.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Got to Do with It?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And do like an acoustic version of that, and you know,
it led me into more singer songwriter stuff eventually some country,
and I'm kind of genre lists.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I would say my bass has always been rock and roll,
but if it's a good song and it speaks to me,
then I enjoy listening to it.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
So nowadays I kind of listen to everything.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Well, about to play cut off here on the record too.
Of the Angels ep out there across all the DSPs
out there too, came out to May night before I
play this cut. I know, I don't know tell us
all about.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
It, yeah, you know, I know, I don't know that
was It's basically just kind of my respective on life
at this point, which is, you know, I've to plan
all these things, had all these different goals, and what
I've come to is, you know, I have no idea
what we're doing here. I don't think anybody really does.
And I think trying to not plan everything, you know,
(05:15):
you got to have goals for sure, but I think
surrendering to the process of things. Whatever you're doing, whether
it's music or business or whatever you're working on, you
just kind of focus on, you know, focus on your
daily process, focus on your mood, focus on making yourself
happy and serving others and not trying to figure everything out.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I think that's kind of my perspective on the song.
And those are the lyrics that came out on the day.
We were all sitting around kind of having a conversation
along those lines, and that was the song that popped out.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Well, here it is from Chuckie Brown, the Backstage past

Network Exclusive here too and out there THWN dot org,

Hey back here, Chuckie Brown joining us here KYB in
ninety eight point one, your big area broadcasting network, and
of course out there too the Sports Guys Podcast dot
com and THWN dot org. Out there anytime out there
iHeartRadio Podcast now a top search podcast on iHeartRadio two.
Appreciate all the great folks that made that happened too,
And of course you just crossed a million streams this
(13:03):
past summer. In July. You know you mentioned that song
we talked about that got to play a great feel
on this and I love this EP kind of shed
some light on it for me. When you guys were
selecting songs for The Angels, Epe Chuckie, I love this.
The Best night of my life was my favorite off
of there too. When I'm sitting here, you know, picking songs.
I loved it all, but I guess I had to,
you know, really fine tune into one song that was
really cool, and The Jones was another cool one. I like,
(13:25):
talk about that for me.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Thanks for saying that, Yeah, I appreciate it. The Jones
was the last song we wrote for the EP. Actually, yeah,
you know, just kind of the idea of keeping up
with the Jones. I think that's the theme most people
nowadays could probably relate to. You know, we're all on
social media staring at other people's lives all day, staring
at everybody's highlights, and sometimes that can.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Feel like, oh, man, like am I doing enough?
Speaker 14 (13:50):
You know?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
And so we wanted to write a song about that.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
We felt like we wanted at least one more song
that felt kind of happy melodically and energetically, So we
wanted to keep it kind of up tempo and upbeat,
and uh yeah, that's the song that popped out. We
were playing along, playing around with that concept of keeping
up with the Jones, and uh yeah, that's where we
ended up.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
But thank you.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
The part of my life was actually my favorite as well.
And I haven't met too many other people that have
said that, so I appreciate you saying that.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Hey, we got similar tastes in sports and music there too.
It's well I had to have you here on the
program too. Hey, you know we talked about that at
the top. How sports and music really, you know, come
together and they're so closely related. How did sports being
a pro athlete, and you mentioned playing in college, you know,
kind of get your mind right as far as to
compete in life, and you know, go by that slogan
(14:43):
is nothing's going to be handed to You have to
work for everything you get, and you know that that
being a team player, things like that, and and kind
of when the pro career was over to transition into music,
talk about how sports kind of set the tone for
you a little bit.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, absolutely, I mean in some ways I felt like, oh,
I'm a little behind the curve because I haven't been
the guy like solely focused on music my whole life, right.
But on the flip side, yeah, when you're playing sports
at a higher level, you got to deal with rejection
and disappointment. You got to gain resilience, You have to
have thick skin. You know, it's you're gonna get rejected,
(15:18):
You're gonna play terrible sometimes. And I was a goalie,
so I mean, like all the eyes are on you
when you fail. Everybody in the place sees it. And
so you know, it's very much the same in music.
You know, you don't just start playing music, or very
few people start playing music, put music out and find success.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
You're gonna hit roadblocks.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And so I think it really equipped me coming into
pursuing music to understand.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
That this was not gonna be some easy ride.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
You know, there was gonna have to be failures and
assessing your weaknesses and all things that you have to
do in sports that really translate over to music. So
I found that it really helped me out.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You know how we talked about how social media is
such a powerful, powerful instrument day to get people were
on it constantly with reels and looking at other people's lives.
And of course you know for musicians it's now changed
from what I grew up in nineties country, you know,
the cell of the CD and things like that, and
of course the vinyl records. They're starting to make a
little bit of a comeback there too. But as far
as growing up that genre of music, I love nineties
(16:17):
country so much. Were you a big fan of that era?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Honestly, I wasn't, and I wasn't not a fan. I
wasn't very aware of it.
Speaker 9 (16:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I grew up in Massachusetts and my upbringing was like
nineties rock and metal, and then I didn't really start
branching out till later in life. You know, I think,
you know, especially at that time in the nineties, it
was like this was the type of music you liked.
You either like hip hop or you like rock, or
you like country, and you didn't really cross pollinate as much.
(16:49):
And so yeah, it wasn't until later on I started
listening to country and kind of hearing a lot of
similarities that I would.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Have in rock.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
But there was a lyricism that was there that wasn't
necessarily there in rock. I was really starting to grab onto.
So yeah, like nowadays, you know, it's everything, it's country,
it's rock, it's pop.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I end up.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I don't end up discovering that much new music, unfortunately.
I always just kind of revert to what I what
I know, uh and listen to the same old, same
old thing. But yeah, coming in and really gaining an
understanding of how how lyrical country was and spending a
little time in Nashville at certain points really kind of
(17:31):
opened up my eyes as a writer.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yeah, you got admit too. You mentioned how the competition
is right now too, because everywhere you look, there's somebody
new out there making music, no doubt about it. With
these songs and of course the great songwriters that Nashville has,
and it's it's really hard. It's probably one of the
challenges I want to ask you about too, because it's
pretty cool when you get a chance to step up
there on stage and perform these songs for a crowd.
Talk about that kind of that performing arts business, creative
(17:54):
arts business, and how songwriting you know comes for you.
Is it a natural thing? Is there some of it
kind of fantasy? Year do you feel like it's a
you know, personal experience, And give me the best part
of kind of being on stage.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Best part of.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Being on stage I think is you know, the work
is pretty much done right. You've rehearsed the songs, you've
written the songs. I guess I would relate it to
like a game and practice, right. Practice is when you
try things and you mess up, and then by the
time you get to a game, you're trying to not
think very much. You're just trying to be present in
the moment and be in that flow state whatever you
(18:27):
want to call it, where or you're in the zone,
and you're just trying to feed off the crowd and
and you know, perform the songs honestly, moment to moment,
feed off the crowd, feed off your bandmates, and just
kind of be authentic in the moment.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I guess it's the best way I can put it.
But it's a rush.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
It's it's pretty much the same as playing in front
of a crowd, playing a sports game in front of
a crowd, That rush is very much the same.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, idea is too. Like I said, I know for
a lot of people there, it's the best time of
the year be a sports fan. You got, like I said,
hockey is about to start, NBA, you got the NFL,
you got college, you got the baseball playoffs coming up
with the last week of the regular season and the
postseason starting in October. I know for you you mentioned
living in La going over to Boston now too, and
I'll tell you this, man, it was it sucked to
see Alex Bregman leave the Astros and go to the
(19:12):
Red Sox. It feel like it was one of them
turncoat things for you. What does it in h like
pro hockey, baseball, basketball, football? You mentioned a big hockey fan.
Who's your who's your hockey? And the pro team up there?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
So it's funny.
Speaker 14 (19:23):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I grew up, like I said, around Boston, so I
always was a Boston fan. But you know, because I
was a goaltender, and because I ended up kind of
moving all around the country, I just end up following
certain goalies.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Like so I just find a goalie that I like.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I like to watch a young goalie come up and
see how they do in the big leagues and follow
their career and try to pinpoint who I think is
gonna gonna make it, and you know, just you kind
of keep an eye out for talent. So that nowadays
is more what excites me as opposed to rooting for
a certain city. I guess which isn't typical in Boston.
(19:58):
You know, Boston hard like you know Boston everything. But
for me, I just I just kind of gravitate towards
certain athletes.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, it's cool too, And I know for me back
in the day, it was Mike Madonna. I usually fashioned
a lot of the things that I did in life.
That the way he played hockey to the way I
just kind of you know, constructed, like you said, business
and things like that, and you know, work my career
and kind of being the person that I wanted to
be and now being a dad. It really changed you
for the best. But I liked to how Mike MacDonald,
you know, lived his lifestyle and he was one of
my favorites and album to play with the Dallas Stars.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
One of the best American hockey players. For sure's a legend.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
That's what I used to be a Stars fan. I
still love. I'm like you, I love watching hockey live
in the rink more than I do actually on TV.
Do you like that too?
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I tell people that all the time.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I'm like, because you know, if you haven't played hockey
or you don't have that background, the puck is a
little hard to follow.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
On the TV.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I'm like, you got to go see it in person.
You got to get the speed and the energy of it,
the physicality of it. And usually when people see it
in person, they have a better appreciation for it, for.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Sure, no doubt. I actually went to one the Dallas
Stars game back in my early days, no doubt about it,
and just went to a Preds game in Nashville during
the CMA week or CMA I should say CRS week,
but always too. It's always fun to get out there
and see, like I said, those pro hockey games too,
and it was kind of fun doing that during CRS
week to see the Preds play there too. Time for

all night. We we've talked about this, we've all been there.
(29:04):
One more round off the Angels EP. Tell us all
about it. Where you were, what you did when this
song came to mind? Because I love this song too.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Oh I appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, yeah, I remember very well writing this tune us
probably two or three years ago now. But yeah, we
all sat down and we we had written a few
songs together, the guys I was writing with, and we'd
written some stuff that was on the more somber side,
and we were like, you know what, today, let's just
let's just have fun. Let's write something that's fun. And yeah,
(29:33):
we're just talking about like, what are the most fun times?
And we had all kind of agreed it's sometimes it's
those nice where you're just completely letting loose and you're
not thinking about tomorrow, you're not thinking about yesterday. You're
just you're just maybe in a bit of a daze
with some people you like, and you know, what happens
there stays there, and yeah, we just wanted to write
(29:53):
a song about it, and that's what came out.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
It's a great song, no doubt, you know. And Angels
EP across all those DSPs out there for digital streaming
where you guys download or stream music out there. As
far as we mentioned these artists, I tell you another
thing too. I love about this kind of a two
parter collaborations becoming a huge, huge thing in music today.
When you look at all these crossovers, Suit Chucky, I
love the fact that you see a little bit of
(30:19):
I know we were at CMA Wig this past year
and world renowned. I mean you see Akon coming there
with Gary Lavaux, the Rascal Flats and they have this
summer anthem you know they're putting out there, you know,
Vince Gill and Luke Colmbs and of course Luke Colmbs.
And you look at Shenandoah bringing back at two dozen
Roses song, which I know went to number one again
for that version. They put out what does that mean
to the industry and talk about just how important that
(30:41):
is because you get some brilliant minds in the room.
It's amazing what can come out of that.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Right, absolutely, And you know, I know people are sometimes
divided on those things. You know, there's there's always the
purest in any genre, right and I understand that, and
then there's people who want to push the envelope and
and just keep trying new things.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
And you know, I think both are important.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I love hearing a record that sounds like it came
out in the eighties or nineties and you look and
it's like, oh, came out in twenty twenty five. But
I also like hearing the blend of genres where you're
just like, oh, I haven't heard that before.
Speaker 14 (31:12):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I think the music that's most exciting for me is
when it surprises me. And I think that's in any
art form. You know, you don't want to be watching
a movie or a TV show and you go, all right,
I know everything that's going to happen here this guy's
gonna get killed this you know, I like the surprise,
and so when people are kind of flipping the script
a little bit, I think it keeps it fresh.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
It does no doubt about it too. All right, let's
get to some fun stuff here. Look, I'm not making
a prediction for this World Series. I know it's not
going to be the Houston Astros when it comes down
to it. When it baseball wise, I guess, one do
you follow it? And two it's always fun when it's
the playoffs. We mentioned about how it's like watching hockey
in person's more fun than watching hockey on TV. But
I guess, will you watch these baseball playoffs? And I
(31:53):
know for look for Boston fans, they always love their
Red Sox, and of course not too far to the
I guess to the north, they're too looking at it.
But the Philadelphia Phillies, this could be their year, right.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
You know what, I'm going to be disowned by my
Boston friends, but I don't follow baseball in the slightest.
I will say though, and I'll say this like, I
like playoffs in anything. So if someone's like, hey, the
World Series is on, like I'll put it on because
there's stakes, you know, with baseball and hockey. Honestly, like
I'll keep an eye on the hockey scores throughout the season,
(32:26):
but they play eighty five games baseball.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
It's like one hundred and something. I'm like, let me
know what it matters.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
So so yeah, I'm a bit of a fairweather guy
in that sense. But like I said, I enjoy anything
with a little pressure with some stakes involved. So I'll
definitely throw on the finals.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
I love that. It's always fun to watch the postseason,
especially that wildcard series. That first best of three is
always fun to watch in that first round. With the
expanded playoffs now in the MLB, and of course I
found out today they're going to that automated balls and
strike system for twenty twenty six now too, where each
coach is going to get some challenges things like that too,
where you can actually challet and ball and the strike,
which I mean, come in the game, man, let's let's
if we're gonna do it, let's do it right. You
(33:04):
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Absolutely, Yeah, you got that in hockey too, where you
can challenge a goal and if yeah, it gets turned
over as a penalty, and you know, they've made a
system with.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
It, so I mean it's worked out there too. And
I'm not a big fan of the extra innings rule
in baseball, but I can tell you this, as long
as it works for both sides, you're getting equality. That's
all that matters out there. I just talk some food
here too, because I go to Nashville. I feels like
there's some kind of test market all the time for
Nashville opening up some new restaurant where there'd be any
type of food out there too. I guess two part
are here. Do you cook? If you do, what do
(33:33):
you like to cook? And then, if not, what's on
the takeout menu for Chucky Brown?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Oh fantastic. I can cook a little bit, but we're
talking like scrambled eggs. We're talking, you know, big chicken.
I'm pretty boring when it comes to food. But I'm
a pizza guy. I can eat frozen pizza. I can
eat a New York Slice and anything in between. So
if I'm doing takeout, it's normally gonna be a pizza.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
I love it too. Hey, I had to get your
opinion on this female country movement right now too, because
it is you look one after another that we mentioned
how talented the male side is too, but man, this
is I mean, Landy Wilson kind of the Queen Bee.
I mean you look at Megan Maroney for Scilla Block
and Ella Langley and I mean the names go on
and on. Hannah ellis right now, pretty good time to
be a female country artist too, right.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Sure, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
And I'll admit, like I keep my finger on the
pulse a little bit, but I'm always in my own
tunnel vision, so I try to not digest pop music
too much, only because I don't want to feel like
I start chasing a trend. But of course, you know,
like I'm happy to see male female whatever, you know,
like equality, you know, let it go like.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
I'm happy to see it. I'm happy to hear about it.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I don't have, unfortunately, too much more to say on
that one, but God bless them.
Speaker 11 (34:45):
All.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Right, we'll finish with this one. Give me a dream
collaboration with either an artist that's dead or one that's
currently alive. It could be any genre of music you
get to pick. Who would it be? A solo artist
or a band man?
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Phil Collins, It's gonna throw you there. Unfortunately, I think
he's you know, he's getting pretty old. I don't know
how much he's collaborating, so that's definitely just a dream.
But you know, I started as a drummer, like I
mentioned earlier, Phil Collins started as a drummer, pivoted into
being a huge recording artist, so he was always an
inspiration for me. I know he's a lover hate guy.
(35:18):
He's like the Nickelback of the eighties. But yeah, but yeah,
I definitely say Phil Collins.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
I love that good answer right there too. Like I said,
still going strong out there. Do you love some Phil Collins,
No doubt about it too. And hey man, I love
this EP. That's why we had to have you those
worlds collide. I love it there for sports, music and
entertainment out there too, Chuckie Brown, make sure you guys
check it out. And hey, if Chuckie, if they want
to find out more information, where can they find you?
On socials website? Put that stuff out there for the fans.

Yeah, I'm on all socials.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I am Chucky Brown on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, all that YouTube.
Not too many other Chucky Brown's out there, so it

Spelling for you cchu Ckie, Chuckie Brown. Make sure you
guys spell it correctly out there too, because there are
different ways to spell it out there too. At the

And yeah, enjoy that baseball.
Speaker 2 (36:21):

a part of it, or even if they're not a
part of it there too, looking back at it too,
We've got a couple of titles we'll celebrate there in
seventeen and twenty two. Over the past nine or ten years,
been a pretty good ride for those astros and that dynasty,
no doubt, Chuckie Brown, and check out the Angels EP
across all the DSPs out there for digital streaming. We're
back with more great artists. Jeff Bates coming on the program.
