Say, speaking of that too, do you remember what you

There's no way I hit Well, maybe I remember like
a burger in the lounge as I don't know, but.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, no idea, Yeah, no idea, we think that, and
I forgot to. I think the only meal I remember
was the Chicago pizza Deep Dish or something. We went
to three one two pizza over in Germantown that was
pretty good by the Sounds Ballpark. So I think it's
the only meal that I remember, uh, that I had
that week two And for a pizza connoisseur is myself,
I kind of wanted to remember that. So I can't
forget Chicago style. That's good stuff. You know you got
(01:57):
a good memory. Tried to Hey, do a lot of
these shows. I got to keep the memory intecht somehow, Well,
tell us what's been going on. We mentioned this new single.
It's out there across all the DSPs for people. It
is October. How excited were you to get this one
out to fans?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
This is that I have.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I keep getting more excited every time I put a
song out, But I think this one, it's hard for
me to say.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Man, this one is really really It's like it gave
me goosebumps.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It gave me goosebumps when when I was told I've
got the opportunity to put it out as an artist,
when the songwriter pitched it to me, It's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I'm so stoked about this song. I love this song.
I hope everyone loves as much as I do.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Let's talk about the writing of this when you look
back at it too, and the ideas. I'm always curious
to see where these things kind of originate from, or
where you guys were time and place things like that,
or if it's like getting up in the morning early
and or just out in the battle whatever through personal experience.
Where did this one kind of originate from this.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
It actually is one of my first songs that was
pitched to me by a different group of songwriters. I
wasn't a part of writing it. I just, man, I'll
tell you what. Me and my manager got in my
truck and he was like, hey, we just got sent
this song. They wanted to see if we would like
it and see if we'd like to put our vocals
on it. And you know, it's if it's up our alley.
(03:22):
And so he hit the play button and immediately when
I heard Ryan Hurd's voice on there singing, I got
the chill bumps, man, And uh, I just knew it
like the song you'll hear you when y'all listen to
you'll know what I'm talking I hope you know what
I'm talking about. I hope you have the same experience
I did the first time I listened to it, because
I got goosebumps and I was just fired up.
Speaker 2 (03:46):

(10:52):
October Heartbreak Care sales out there too. Hey, let's go
into a little bit of the last album I want
to talk about. I love the title of this because
you kind of feel we get a sense of this.
Closure comes out last year. A lot of cool songs
off of there. Back here again with Caleb Sanders on
the show. A couple of Beers from Now was one
of my favorite ones. My man loved that one too.
(11:13):
What did you expect when when Closure came out? And
talk about some of the highlights on that record.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
For me, you know, when Closure came out, I didn't.
It was kind of just live and let live, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
It was that kind of feeling because it's my first
if it's my first album that I would ever put
out to the world.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
It was my first collection of songs that I'd written,
and I really just was like, I hope, I hope
people enjoy this.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I don't know how many people are gonna enjoy this,
but I hope people enjoy this as much as I
did making it. And I'm really fine. I was really
fired up to put it out and I feel like it.
I feel like it moved a lot of needles for
me as an artist, and a couple of beers from
Now is also my favorite one, So I'm glad that
you feel that way.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
It does take me long, Like I said, like what
the ear like when it comes down to music? There, Uh,
no good at letting Go. Let's let's get a little
backstory on that one too, because I thought that kind
of caught my vibe on the record too.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Yeah, that's kind of a poppy one. No good at
Letting Go? I wrote that with I wrote that with
some friends.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
That one, that one really resonated with me as far
as like, uh, sort of the way I am that
story is, Uh, it's pretty close to how my last
relationship ended up.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I wrote.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I remember wrote I wrote it down in my notes,
cause I was just sitting there and I was like,
oh man, I'm no good at letting go. Like she's up,
she's up and moved on. Sheess whatever, She's like whatever,
and I'm over here just like I can't stop thinking
about it.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I gotta go do something.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Kind of hinted at that title right there, no good
at letting go and like I said, holding on. Speaking
of that, I love the title closure there, which was
that particular album there's one called be Better for the folk.
Having heard that one too, talk about that one for me,
so be Better.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I actually was able to write that with my producer,
Brad Wagner and one of my favorite artists and singers
and songwriters, Dave Finley.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
It was one of the first songs we wrote. It
was the second song we ever put out, and be
Better is it's kind of a testament to.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
How I I mean, it's it's a really personal testament
to how I changed my behavior after one of my
first relationships that I was in, and it was kind
of just a big reflection of.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
You know, people can change, and I might have been
I might have been kind of on one when we
were together, but.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I've I've taken a good look in the mirror and
and I'm going, you know what, that was my fault,
my bad.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
You know, you guys work so hard. You went three
hundred and sixty five days a year, I mean, minus
Christmas or Thanksgiving off there to go home and see family.
What's the best part about doing this whole thing, you know,
being an artist, being in performing arts and being in
front of people, talk about just the ride you've been on,
and of course the support team you have and your
favorite kind of parts when you break break this thing down,
being being called an artist.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
That's a really good question, because I enjoy every facet
of it. But I think that I think what I
enjoy the most out of it is is the things
that a lot of people don't see. It's the crew
that I'm with, the crew that keeps, like you said,
the support, the support team, my band, my managers, everyone
at the label. It's it's incredible what how much manpower
(14:37):
it really does take to make an artist.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
And artist that was a lot of There's a lot.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I didn't know about that until we really started getting
the ball rolling. And I think, honestly, my favorite part
is the camaraderie there and because it really feels like
I'm on a team again.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
You know, I played basketball growing up. That was my
main thing, so I I.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Kind of felt like teamless for a little bit and
and as I was doing the artist thing, and then
all of a sudden, here we go back on a team.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
And so it's got to be that.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
And then getting to play in front of people live
and talking to them afterwards has become my absolute favorite
part of the entire career. It makes it worth it
to hear how my music affects other people in a
positive way.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yeah, And that's the cool thing is like after the shows,
you guys can go out there, visit the merch booth,
visit the people kind of waiting that bought the tickets,
things like that, maybe sign some autographs from the merchant
they bought to and supporting you guys, and kind of
going home with you know, piece of merchandise, like I said,
with your logo on it, your name on a shirt cap.
That's kind of a cool feeling is you guys are
leaving a presence there on stage after the show and
(15:44):
then leaving it with somebody who may not come to
a concert for three months from me, but remembers they
had a great time of the show right.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
No, Yes, My absolute favorite part is I'll get done,
I'll put the mic down, I'll be like, I want
to meet you guys.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Come come out of the merch booth and it's a
new thing to I don't know. It was like randomly
one day this year at one show. It really felt
like it felt like it just happened all it once.
All of a sudden, people are like, hey, can I
take a picture? And I was like, that's this, this
is new, and then and then like that, and then
they were like can you sign this? Can you sign that?
(16:17):
I'm like, what is going on? You know, because I've
I've been working really hard at this for a long time.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So it sounds like a tune. You can see it
through the music too. I love the authenticity of this.
And we got to play one right now too. Is

song this made.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Right honestly, man, Left Me at the Bar. It's another
one that as an artist I got the privilege of.
It was pitched to me by by a dear friend,
my buddy, Joe Heydel. We were at we were playing
a live show, a Writer's Round here in Nashville, and
(25:35):
he pitched it to me right in front of the
whole crowd.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
He was like, hey, y'all, I'm gonna play this one.
It's called Left Me at the Bar, and uh, I'm
gonna right.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Here in front of you all, pitch this to Caleb,
my buddy Caleb here, see if he wants.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
To cut and put it out. And I was like,
oh must oh, oh, okay, let's listen to it. He
seems pretty confident in this man. He started playing it,
and that whole bar went nuts. They loved it, and
my jaw dropped.
Speaker 15 (26:07):
Man.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
I was like, ah, this is a fun song, dude.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I was like, you got you gotta let me cut it,
and he's like, I just told you you could. I
said you gotta let me just I just kept saying
it because I was just like astounded, and then he
kind of retracted his statement, and I was like, no, no, no, no,
no no, he said.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
He said, no, I'll cut you a deal.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
You gotta get.

thousand monthly listeners on Spotify and you can cut it.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
And I was like, challenge accepted, Let's do what I
can do. And I was able to pull it off this.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Summer, so and it worked out.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love this song.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
It's one of my favorite ones to perform live. It's
just it resonates with everybody. Everybody knows what it's feeling.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
We do, yep, even back in my drinking days too.
Don't drink anymore, but when I did drink, we got
left at a bar many many times, and colleagues had
called for back up, or sometimes it was Uber or
Lyft or one of those two you there and they'd
been drinking, and of course somebody is like, who's the
d D the designated a driver there too. At the
same time, I was like, well, I got left there
and had to find some way to get home too.
(27:21):
You know, you've had so much fun with your music too.
I love this, Caleb, because it's a lot of fun
out there. We mentioned about a couple of beers from Now,
which was off that single that you guys have put out,
but I loved even off that little two song EP
back in July. I should stay e P. I mean
two songs released, Money Can't Buy. Let's talk about that
one for a second.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Money Can't Buy. Another one where another one where I
was privileged. It was pitched to me. I wasn't a
part of writing that one, but my producer was.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
And the same guy, Joe Haydel, who had written Left
Ban at the Bar, wrote this one as well. And
the the second I heard this one, jaw dropped and
within within the first couple of seconds and I said, why.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Is it how long? When did we When did you
write this? And they were like two years ago? And
I said why has nobody grabbed this? And they're like,
we don't know. You tell us. I said, I will
you guys please let me? Can somebody ask your publisher,
like let me know. I love this song?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
And I waited and I kind of bit my nails
for a few weeks and they were like, yeah, you're
good to cut it.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
And I said, man, that's the cool thing about songs,
and you're right, you never know where they're gonna come from.
You get pitched a lot. You gotta decide if it's
for you and if it makes sense, and if it
just has that vibe and that feel and what's going
to do to an audience. And I'll tell you another
one that was last year when you guys cut this
was in uh. I think we talked about this during
c May week was a Man of the House and
(28:49):
this was May of last year. But we did talk
about this because I realized, like, Okay, now I'm a dad,
I can understand what this is about. You know, my
father was growing up, my mom, things like that. But
this is a powerful team. I'm sure you guys can
play live. This is this Man of the House is fantastic.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Man Man of the House.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
We play it every time we get a forty five
minute two an hour set, when we get enough time
to break down into an acoustic.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
That's probably my favorite part of the show.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Is getting able to tell that story about the reason
why I wrote the song, and then just getting into
the song. It's probably one of the most in my experience,
one of the most felt and understood. I think a
lot of people in the room feel seen when they
(29:40):
hear this song and they connect with it so deeply,
and it is by far the most meaningful song I've
ever written, or I probably will ever get pitched.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
It just has a very special place in my heart.
And something really cool about that one.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I was playing it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
At a bar in Nashville and I get off stage.
It was the last song I played. It was an
amazing reaction, like the crowd went silent. It was in
one of those real loud bars. The crowd went silent
and they just cheered real hard.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
At the end.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I get off stage and this big jack dude with
a beard walks up to me. He's all like tatted up,
and he's like, hey man, my name is Zach. I
just wanted to say that I really like your sound
and you're not normal, and I went I.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Recognize this guy. I'm like looking at him and I'm
like and he's like, no, no, no, I mean I
meant not normal in a good way. And I was like, no, no,
I'm not I know what you meant by that. Are
you Zach Brown?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
And he goes yeah, And we ended up chopping it up,
and then he gave me his number and he wanted
to help me with that song, so we were he
helped me, you know, record it and get it polished
up and sound and right He's like, I want this
to sound the best it can before you put it out,
and it was. It meant the world to me. It
(31:02):
was like a dream come tru that that happened. It
was very cool, very cool.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, that's the beautiful thing about Nashville we're seeing now.
As you know, you mentioned more collaborations that are going
on the crossover of different sounds and we probably talked
about this too U during CMA week, as always do
when you're doing a radio show. You can talk about
whatever you want to talk about. But I love this
because it's so much you know, embedded there too. And
you mentioned about that songwriters and getting pitch things, talk
(31:27):
about just how powerful collaboration is in the industry now
and all the crossovers you know that we see coming
over now to blend music and and kind of mix
something for everybody.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Right, Yeah, I mean, it's it's by far the one
of the most important things for us as songwriters and
as singers and artists is the collaboration here. When I
first moved to town, it was one of the things
that made me as hopeful as I was when when
(31:58):
I was getting my start, was the fact that everyone
was so.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Supportive of each other and.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Collaborations were uh, it was just growing and becoming more
and more diverse as far as like which direction everyone's
willing to go, And now we got we've got like
hip hop artists crossing over the country and uh pop
artists and a lot of collaborations in and out of that.
And it's just really really cool to see because it
brings in all different types of folks and it blends
(32:28):
us all together to the one thing we can all,
you know, sing Kumbaya with music.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
That's it. That is man.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
You mentioned Kumba. You're right, sing everything about music and
make make people just feel something and resonate with it. Hey,
y'all did that with the release earlier this year. I
always loved to see kind of what's around, you know,
two things of the year Valentine's Day and Christmas and
Valentine's Day. This year, you guys took out what I
thought it was a great song here because we all
have those relationship problems. But looking back at it, you
put out one called the right Guy talk about this
(32:58):
one and then, you know, choosing to release it on
such a special day for a lady, boyfriend, husband, things
like that, because this song really did it for me
to know what I have just a great significant other
in my life to the right guy man. Was was
a great time to release that Valentine's Day, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Well?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
You know, if you dive into the lyrics on right Guy, it's, uh,
it's slightly anti Valentine's Day, But the underlying message for
that song for me was I really related.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
It really resonated with me the the story of of
you know the guy who's you know. I want all
these things I want. I want the.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I want the house in the country on the hill
with you. I want our name on the mailbox. I
want it to be our name. And uh, I'm just
the right guy at the wrong time.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
You know. I recognize there's.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Things I need to work on within myself and it
doesn't feel right to move forward right now.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
And that was something that was really resonating with me
at the time.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
And that was our That was my first release with
Red Street Records, the label that I had just signed
with this year, and we announced the signing the day
that we released that song, and it was it's a
special song for a lot of reasons, and with that
information included.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Yeah, like I said, I probably looked at it that
different way too. I guess being married now for fifteen years,
you kind of look back and you say yourself, yeah,
that's uh, that's something I can get used to too.
At the same time, but there were some Richard Anti
Valentis State lyrics that maybe kind of feel that it
could go the other way too at the same time.
So you know, again, I just kind of look look at.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
The positive present. Yeah, it depends on how you listen
to it.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I guess it hits everybody in many different ways. Hey,
I know there is Florida raised and of course living
in Nashville now too. Talk about I guess the football
question had to get out for you growing up. Was
it the Miami Dolphins or was it another NFL team?
Speaker 3 (34:57):
You know, when I was growing up, it wasn't an
NFL team, uh for any of us.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
I grew up right near the University of Florida and
it was during the Tebow era, and so we were
all hyped about college football and that was what that
was what we.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Had our eyes on.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Flordia Gators.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Yeah, the Florida Gators. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Hey, a tough one. Like I said a few weeks
back there at LSU, of course, but stay still some
good games coming up to and I don't know you're
talking about Napier and is this going to be the
last season for this under fire what have you. But
I look, Florida is a great recruiting town. Love Gainesville.
Have been down there so many times when i'd go
cover baseball and spring training down there too for all
the different camps. But at Florida, if you're at the university,
(35:40):
you know down there too, that's like the one of
the mecca's there and the rivals being Florida State and
things like that. Of course they got to put up
with the U and stuff. But there's so many things
to love about Gainesville. I love Gainsville.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Yeah, Gainsville is a great place to be. I've spent
a lot of time there. I spent a lot of
time there in my college days.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Yeah at the so you've been to some of those
the swamp down there too and see some of those
Gator games, right.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but just it was electric back then.
I haven't been in a long time. But I'll tell
you why. Back then I went.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
I went as a kid, and then I went, you know,
in the college days too, and it was electric is
great town.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I got to get there one day too, just like
Death Valley the LSU, and of course I went to
Kyle Field, me being the Texas A and Maggie fan
down here. And the SEC just one of the best
conferences out there too, the best in college football. I'll
go ahead just say it out there. I'm not afraid
uh to say that too, but it is the best,
the best teams. That's why Texas Oklahoma went there and
paid all that money to buy out out there and
getting the best conference to play, the elite of the
elite out there too, and all the five star recruits
(36:40):
and the head coaches things like that, And I'll tell you, man,
it's a little bit of a you know, parody we've
seen in college football to start this season too. I mean,
you got Ohio State and you get everybody behind them too,
But I mean you look at A and M beating
Notre Dame and some other key road winds. I mean,
Texas struggling with Ohio State. This could be anybody's year
and win a national title.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Right, it seems like a real, a real good race
this year. There's just from all angles, you don't know
who's gonna take it.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
But we'll see. I think, I think we'll see as
the year goes on. Mm hmm, we'll see who's who's
who's really consistently putting up the w Yeah, we'll see.
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
It's gonna change, of course. The Associated Press poll top
twenty five is gonna gonna sit there and change as
much as anything else, kind of like somebody's morning, breakfast
or dinner out there changes daily because you don't eat
the same thing every day. Some people do, Mike, but
I know it. For me, it's like taste buds and
whatever else is out there too. For the good that
pole is gonna change out there. Hey, when you get
some free time, Caleb, what are some things you like
to do for kind of the downtime or hobbies.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
My my favorite thing to do around this time of
year is build a fire and hang out with the buddies,
listen to music, sometimes play the guitar, sing together, and
watch football. And you know what, that's this time of
the year, when it's summertime. I am on the water
as much as possible. I'm out on the water. If
I can get on a boat, if I can get
on a wake surfboard, I'm doing it.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
And uh but I love the fall.
Speaker 15 (38:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
You get on the side by side and ride. You
just ride around. That's just kind of what we've always done.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Get out side by side right around.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
The middle of nowhere, blasting music. You know, everyone's drinking,
everyone's having a good time except.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
For the driver.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Except for the driver. Yes, we need designated driver out
there to at the same time. Hey, looking back, you
mentioned those those hobbies and having fun there too. Nashville
is such a great town. But I'll tell you, man,
it's become like a test market for restaurants now these days.
And every time I go there, there's like some new
place that's opening up, or somebody's trying to get me
to eat at. What are some of the places when
you're kind of out and about where do you like
to go to go dine in?
Speaker 1 (38:42):
That's a really good question, I am. I like to
mix it up a lot. Okay, I like to mix
it up a lot. I'm all about the vibe in
the restaurant. And I've always always raised on this on
this message here because my dad UH and my grandfather
had a restaurant whenever whenever they were young and UH,
they would always say, the handshake of the host determines
(39:04):
the taste of the roast. So I always pay attention
to the host is the most important person in the restaurant.
You could have the worst, like not the worst food,
you could have the most mediocre food. But if you
get treated like you are the coolest person on the
planet while you're there, it's gonna make it taste pretty good.
(39:26):
Like you're gonna have a great experience. So that's one
thing that I paid I payst IT to a lot.
I think though some of the places where I've had
that experience. I'm not gonna lie if you're if you're
swinging through Nashville and you've got the opportunity to stop
into s STK and experience that, have you been there yet?
Speaker 2 (39:50):
I have not been to that place. STK. I left
the experience that next time we go for an event. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
STK has one of the most it's the most wonderful service.
And they got some great food too. I got some
Wagoo beef there. Come on, it was so good that
you know, yeah, you can't. You can't miss halls, chop
house halls. Chop house is great here and you know what,
(40:19):
there's there's a lot of If you see a food truck,
I don't care where it is. I'm telling you, if
you see a food truck selling tacos or anything, stop by,
stop by, because you have no idea what you're missing
out on if you don't stop at one of those.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Yep, food trucks tend to be some of the best
places out there you can have, like the hole in
the wall, places you can actually eat at and get
some great food. Of course, So like I said, depending
on where you like to eat, I love is gonna say,
love us some of that wagoo because that's a good
beef out there too, if nobody's ever tried that. Depending
on where you're listening around the world, since we're in
twenty seven countries worldwide now too. Well, I tell you what, man,
love the sound this music is fantastic. It's while we
