what's something.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Man, Hey, Brandon, good to see you, buddy.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, man, it's good. You know, it's July coming up.
I cannot believe we flipped the calendar now the next
few weeks and it's like we're the second quarter. Go
now we're getting into the third quarter of twenty twenty five,
and it feels like we just started the year done.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
It never slows down, man, It feel like every year
it just goes faster and faster.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I think it's part of aging.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Right, Yeah, I'm getting aging according to the hair locks
now and everything on the lettuce on the lid there too.
At the same time, like this where the lid so
you can cover the lettuce, you're like a little bit
of white, a little bit of gray. But that's good
wisdom right there too. At the same time, Hey, let's
talk about your journey, man. I want to know about
it the listeners do at the same time too, because
I love introducing them to brand new artists here on
(01:46):
the show. I've heard about you, but they may not have.
At the same time encourage me to go to the
stream a lot of the music we're gonna play here
on the show, but talk about with just when the
music kind of the bug kind of bit for you
and you're gonna turn this from a hobby into a career,
And kind of the growing up.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Part, well, I didn't really have a choice growing up
in Nashville, which I feel like is pretty rare these
days to find people who did that. But growing up
in Nashville, I was always surrounded by music. My parents
always had it on the radio.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Most of the time. I was country, but I grew
up in a very musically diverse household.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
My dad was big into eighties rock, mom loves her seventies,
and I have an older sister who had in Sync
on eleven on her boombox when I was a.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Kid, so I grew up with everything.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
But my mom was actually our church music director when
I was a kid, so I got video probably at
the age of three, of me singing on stage at church,
and she ended up being a high school music teacher
for about twenty five years, and so I ended up
singing all throughout the school, and so.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
It was always just a part of life.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I actually didn't see myself pursuing music long term, but
when it came time to go to college, I didn't
really know what else I wanted to do, and so
I originally went to go study music first. I went
to Southern Illinois University of Carbondale for nice selukis out there,
studied music there for one year year and then realized
(03:01):
I didn't have the money to do it and music
wasn't gonna pay the bills. So I ended up transferring
back to to Nashville and I went to Middle Tennessee State,
where I graduated with a production degree in video and audio,
which I know we were chatting about before. I did
a lot of podcasts, did some some live sports and
UH and news work, but that doesn't pay either, as
(03:25):
you're probably pretty pretty well familiar with UH, and I
ended up getting a.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Job with a with.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
A tech startup doing some marketing work and I just
hated it. But during during college, I played with a
rock band for a while and that kind of fizzled
out after after college was over and about a year
and a half into the to the real world working,
I realized that there was something missing from my life
and that something was music, and so I grabbed my
(03:55):
guitar and just started writing songs again and it came
out country this time, which really glad it did, because
that's that's where my heart and soul has always.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Been, you know, being from Nashville.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And first Open my Night was on a Tuesday at
one thirty in the morning, after fifty seven other people
had gone in front of me, and the only other
people that were there were the other six that hadn't
played that were after me. So it's been a long
journey since then, but that's that's kind of where where
it kicked in for me.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
And I've been doing full time music since twenty.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Eighteen and I love every second of it, as as
hard as it can be.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
It's it's definitely the passion and the gift.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
That I was given, so I feel that's my obligation
to share that with people.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Definitely, that's one of the things you mentioned, a passion obligation.
They'll get paid a lot to do this, but at
the same time, when you're good at something, you might
want to share that skill with somebody else. Hey, talk
about just the looking back at you know, twenty eighteen,
twenty nineteen, when that first single Sunrise comes out, which
is one of the first ones that I listened to too,
as soon as I got to know you and your
artistry at the same time, and how things really change
from the first one up until the new single now
(05:00):
across all the DSPs, which we're going to dive into,
uh called wild out There, And it's a lot of
changing trying to find your sound, discover who you are,
who you want to be, and kind of the authentic
artist side.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Talk about that for me absolutely so growing up, you know,
into the high school and college era, you know, you
have the kind of bro country sound, and back then,
even though I knew I knew I grew up in
the nineties, loved the nineties sound.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I was trying to be relevant and trying to trying.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
To fit into ah to the scene at the time.
And even though it wasn't as authentic, you know, I
still enjoyed listening to all types of music and so
I did my best and so Sunrise is a bit
more of that, Like beachy kind of up you know,
up feeling I guess, you know, the sunny rise summer
vibe that you get from that song. And it went well,
(05:46):
but but I I really tried to find the true
sound that I wanted afterward, and I think that's where
the lines kind of got blurred for me, was just
trying to put out music that people liked and then
putting out music that I really was passionate about. And
so I interviewed like one hundred different producers when before
recording Sunrise and the rest of that first EP that
(06:09):
I released, and it sounds a lot poppy, rocky because
that's the style of that producer. The other songwriters that
I worked with ended up being a little bit more
on that side as well, versus what is now the
wild and the other stuff that's coming down the pipeline.
After COVID happened, I started performing really full time, I
(06:30):
mean sometimes ten shows a week and it was up
to over three hundred shows a year and a lot
of those recover gigs.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Playing down on Broadway in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And that's where really paid those dues and realized that
I loved the more of that traditional sound versus more
of the pop sound, and so when I started sitting
down really focusing on what I liked, a lot of
a lot of things that were similar to that where
you're nineties country and today's kind of red dirt sound
as well. So that's kind of where that comes into
(07:01):
for this new sound with this new song.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, I want to build on that too. We gotta
play some music here from Kyle Elliott on the show
Texas Red Dirt Sound. How big that's blowing up right
now too. A lot of shows happening be in the
summertime here down here my neck of the woods in Texas,
and of course at the beach at Can't Margaritaville and

(12:53):
Gordon out there too, the kadangordonshow dot com Today's best
Country mix. So this one, man just had a good
feel to it, and I mentioned that Texas red dirt sound
we were talking about there before I played the song.
Talk about this one, good backstory of it, good lyrics,
and man, this really hits home. When this came out
in November twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, absolutely one of my favorite things to do when
I'm not singing or playing, which is not very often.
A huge, huge fan of dancing, so go love going
to the dance halls. There's only a handful of them
here in Nashville, but one of the places I spent
my twenty first birthday was at the local dance hall here,
and I just love it. For whatever reason, it is
like an escape for me. And back in twenty twenty two,
(13:32):
I realized, out of all the music I have, you
can't really dance to any of it, and so I
had this goal in mind to where I wanted the
local DJ here at the dance hall to play my
song so that people could dance to it. It's just
a simple cowboy cha chaw, and that's kind of how
it came to be. I was influenced the bit. You know,
there's a lot of that dance and style of music
with guys like John Party and Cody Johnson have a
(13:57):
lot of those sounds. So I was like, that's kind
of the the next corner of music that I want
to find myself in is that dance and sound, and
so dance and Slow came about. It's a little ironic
because it's not really a slow song, but this story
behind it goes right hand in hand with somebody who
likes to dance.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
So yeah, I mentioned that red dirt sound there too,
But man, so much of these, so many of these
guys down here, Kevin Fowler, Aaron Watson. It's just so
many of these guys. Pat Green just passed through here too.
Randall King at Texas red dirt sound. It's so good
for the radio, because what's great about Texas is if
they like you, they'll buy a ticket to your show.
If you're being playing on radio down here, your stream
here and it's done right, they're going to come out
and see you too. And whether it's Louisiana or Texas
(14:35):
down or too. But so much of the great sound
out there too that now Texas has. These aren't probably
some of those names I mentioned influenced you too, right.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
They sure did. I've been really the first.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
The first Texas country that I was really influenced by
was the Josh Abbot band. Got to see them back
in twenty nineteen, I was I had a conference down
in Fort Worth, Texas that was unrelated to music that
I was at, and I was like, well, while I'm here,
I got to.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Go to Billy Bob's and had no clue.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Walked in there was a twenty dollars cover, which I
thought was kind of steep. I was like, wow, you know,
we don't ndercovers in Nashville. But about forty five minutes
of hanging out in there, watch people dance, having a
couple of drinks they like, the show is about to begin,
And sure enough, thousands of people were singing every word
to Josh Abbitt's music.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
And I'd heard of him, but I never really paid attention.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And that night lit a fire under me, and ever
since then, Texas country has been really a passion line.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I mean, just a huge fan.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Get every chance I get to go see them, which
here in Nashville, a lot of those guys don't have
massive shows, so I can still get pretty good tickets
to go see them, and super thankful for that.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
But a really big fan of that Red Dirt.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Sound well, and that too is well, it's influenced a
lot by the music. Let's back up a little bit.
Come On Over. Got to talk about this one here
for the fans out there.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
So Come On Over was released during the COVID era,
which I think is why it really did as well
as it did. I had a lot of push We
actually took that to radio as well and did really
well with it too. But I did a big push
over in the UK, which if you haven't been to
the UK and talked about country music, those people are
absolutely insane.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
For it.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
They love it, and it blew my mind. When I
started doing a lot of marketing over there. I'd actually
worked with a manager who was from there, and we
just did this really big push would come on Over.
And now every time people come to the shows who
have heard me from you online.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
They're like, you got to play this when you got
to play this one?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
So it was a crowd favorite, which I'm sure other
musicians have said this. It was probably my least favorite
of the of the select songs that I had selected
to release, but people send to love it the most.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
So really happy with the way that it turned out.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
From that period of time in my music career, I
think it was probably the best piece of work that
I could have put out.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Definitely is. And then you look back and it turns
into a full EP and it's titled Love Hangover. I
want to dive into this one. You a little bit too.
A lot of fun stuff on here too, a lot
of good songs mentioned. We talked about Sunrise a little
bit and come On Over Empty was a single you
guys put out before it made the EP. Another great project.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, Love Hangover was something I worked a long time on.
You know this collection of songs. I'd written hundreds of
songs over the course of those couple of years, and these.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Really just kind of stuck with me.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I think I was going through a lot of similar
lifestyle habits during that time. You know, I was, as
you know, drinking is a huge part of the industry,
and I found myself when I was performing every day,
it was just a natural part of what was happening
on stage, and so that played a big role into Empty.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I actually wrote that with a girl who went to.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
High school with who I ran into at one of
those writers rounds in Nashville, and you know, it just
kind of fell into place the way that it felt
it was right, and at the time didn't have any management.
Really was just kind of coasting on my own, figuring
out what it was that I wanted to do. And
the only thing that I came to mind was I
want people to hear what I'm doing right now. And
(17:59):
so as I kept writing more and more songs, I
was like, well, I'm just going to keep pushing these
things down the line, and so I sat down and
picked out my favorite ones that tended to be the
most personal to me. And so even though there's a
lot of a lot of great sound in that ep.
It's kind of a sad, sad story to go hand
in hand with every one of those songs. So if
you listen to it from top to bottom, I organized
(18:21):
them in the in the way that I thought was
most you know, had the most continuity to it.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
And tells a story.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
But thankfully I've moved on from some of those sad
days and and things have been gotten a lot better. Obviously,
Dance and Slow is a lot more upbeat and a
lot more positive, and Wild is a little bit more
of a reflective song, but you know, I think it
speaks a lot to where I am now and where
I came from.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
So that's great out there too. And each one is
like a building block for a song you put out
to get to the next best project. Musicians never rest
on their laurels. If I've learned about one thing about
doing the show over the last six years, Just like man,
they're always putting out the next project. Because I always say,
as yesterday's news, today, we'll put out some fresh stuff
and we get to play here on the show. Kyle

Speaker 1 (25:29):
But in a lot of ways, that's me too, you know,
I live this crazy life, live this crazy dream, trying
to chase a chase, chase the the stature of being
a successful country music singer, and a lot of ways
that's put the other things on hold, you know, starting
a family and you know, doing the other things in
life that I'm passionate about.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
But it's a wild ride, and I think that.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Kind of is the exact reason of naming it wild
and so I'm very happy with the way that it
turned out. And just here in the first couple of weeks,
we've we've we've killed it, and I've had a ton
of people tell me how much they love the sound
and love the direction, and I think it fits perfectly
with where I want to be right now.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
No, it's good stuff out there to It motivates people,
and it takes us on that ride in life of
where you were to where you are now to where
you want to go in the future, and has all
three different phases for people there too. I was like
you back years back, I'd said I'll never get married
and this and that, start a family, whatever else. But hey,
Lord has plans for certain people. And fifteen years later
I look back and I'm like, here it is now
five year old daughter, and it's just it never ends
(26:29):
when it comes to doing this show or something else,
or you know, getting those goals achieved out there from
where you want to be in your career. And of
course you and I have a lot of things in
common and we'll get to that in a little bit
from our previous bios and things like that mine from
a radio standpoint, yourself as a musician too. I love
that we have things in common. I want to talk
about another just one of those songs. It really hits
to the core.
Speaker 15 (26:49):
Man.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
I hate goodbye because this is one of those things
where we do in life and this can mean so
many different things across a number of different spectrums.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Right absolutely. I already mentioned that trip out to Fort Worth.
I wrote that the week I got back, and I said,
this has just got to be something. If I want
to make a change in direction, this is going to
be it. And it was one of those that fell
out quick. You know, some songs take months or years
to write. This one happened in a matter of about
an hour and a half. Got together with a co
(27:17):
writer at you know, Belmont University, big big songwriting school,
and got together with a few of the students there
at the time, and said, this is what I want,
you know, and I brought some references to it, and
in less than two hours we had I Hate Goodbye
and that that thing hits hard. My band will tell
you that they probably love that song more than anything
that I've put out.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
And they're like, it's just so real, it's just so
right to the point.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
And I couldn't agree more Vocally, it's pretty challenging, you know,
it hits right there at the top of my range.
But I think that shows a lot of dynamic and
what can be offered. So happy that that people love
that one as well. It's it's definitely one of the
more personal things that I've put out.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Definitely one of the ones I love the most. Out
there again, d Kyle Elliott dot Com for more information
out there too at the same time, dates, merchandise, things
like that. Check it out and stream wild across all
those DSPs out there too. I want to get to
another song here a little bit, but I gotta have
fun too, because you mentioned there too, you're a football fan,
not so much I know Tennessee Titans. Of course. Now
you've got another rookie quarterback coming up there too to
(28:15):
pick up where Will Levis I guess couldn't pick up
over the last couple of years since he got drafted.
But for me, I'm an Arizona Cardinal fan. People always
ask why, and there's a story for that for a
different day, but in a little bit of a Houston
Texan fan because I grew up with him when the
franchise got started back in two thousand and two, and
back in my early radio days, I was doing coverage
for affiliates for Texan games out there too at the
same time. So I go back with Mark vander Meer
(28:36):
and the guys since the franchise started, David Carr and
just all the great guys that started with that franchise too,
JJ Watt and everything from that particular point in country
music and of course in sports, your favorite team for
the NFL, who do you root for when it comes
down to it. And I know the Titan thing has
got to be one of those itches you don't want
to scratch, right, He definitely is.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I always tell people when I dial with the Titans
to bury me so they can let me down one
last time.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
But I actually grew up a Broncos fan, believe it
or not.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
When I was a kid, that was the John Elway days,
and for whatever reason, I just latched on and I
have been a fan pretty loyally right up until about
at the end of the Peyton Manning era.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
It when they when they picked up Russell Wilson, that
was a nail in my coffin. And things obviously haven't
been the same since.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
So still a fan, but I'm not as religiously of
a fan as I used to be, you know, a big,
big fan of the league overall.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
I think it's a different era.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
You know, you're following players more so than you're following
teams in a lot of in a lot of.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Ways these days.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
And but I've been I've been a football fan literally
as long as I could remember.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Now I'll tell you this, I love getting into fantasy
football this I'm like four or five leagues that just
keeps getting more like two or three every year. Do
you play it? Do you like it? And for me,
it's like another it's another job, it's full time.
Speaker 12 (29:55):
It is. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
I have a league with some guys that I went
to college with, and I won't say I'm very good
at it. I like to take a lot of risks
and they, for whatever reason, they make me the treasurer
of the of the league. But no, when it came
to it, when it came down to it, this year,
I was just trying to be real bold and I
took Travis Kelce in the first round and that was
(30:18):
a huge mistake.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
I think he didn't score a.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Touchdown till Week six, so it was it was a
risk took it. I didn't finish last, so I'm not
super upset about it, but definitely did not make the
finals this year in my fantasy football league. So I
will have a high, pretty high draft pick this time around.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Yeah, I keep going, who am I going to stay
with that number one pick and choose out there too?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
For that?
Speaker 2 (30:40):
And I'm still debating that and reading all the magazines
and all the fantasy leagues. I'm made all the stuff
they put out for the stats and all the different
things out there with the notes and things like that.
So I'm debating who I'm gonna choose with that number
one pick this year. They'll have to wait for I
guess future episodes because I was like two or three
names you can always look for. But you're right, yeah,
you never know how this stuff is going to go.
It's like it's like a crapshoot walking into a casino
(31:00):
and putting your money down. There's no guarantee. Although I
won like two or three years ago that I almost
went back to back this year, and I think I
finished like second or third from my Yahoo league. But
I'll tell you this. A good friend of the Show
of the Righteous Brothers, that group, Bucky Hurd, who lives
in Nashvillebut two, he's actually remember there, he goes, I'll
me get your number. I'm gonna throw you in another
two or three or four leagues. I'm like three or four.
So it's just the play and for fun, and it
(31:23):
really has a really cool camaraderie coming together. What about
other hobbies and things that you enjoyed doing outside of music.
When not doing that, what do you like to do
for fun?
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Man, I'm a big traveler.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
That's one of the perks about this job as I
do get to see a lot of incredible things and
go to a lot of incredible places. If I'm not
traveling for work, you usually find me in a warmer climate.
Big cruiser. I've been cruising for gosh years. I think
I'm on like number twenty four. If I were to go,
get me and my friends typically take one big vacation
(31:52):
every year.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
We got to go. One of my buddies to get married,
so we did a big bachelor.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Party on one last year and that was a lot
of fun. But b outdoorsman two. I grew up outside
and love of hiking, camping, that kind of thing. But
if I had to pick a top hobby, I'd probably
be dancing a big swing dancer, you know, two step
and line dancing.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
It's one of my favorite things to do.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I love it. That's always a great hobby. It's a
hell of a workout too. At the same time, Hey,
let's talk about backing up to twenty twenty one to
mention one song I want to kind of get in
there lead to this let's talk about this one and
that how this one kind of came together because another
life story well told.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, you know, I mentioned that a lot of the
songs were kind of kind of sad or depressing in
a lot of ways. This one's a little different because
though it's talking about a specific story in the song,
I think it's more metaphorical than that. You know, I
never thought that I would be a full time musician.
I never thought that this would be, you know, my career,
and so it just kind of is self explanatory that
(32:50):
I never thought that all the choices that I made
in life, all the things that I've gone through, would
lead me to this point, lead me to this where
I am right here, right now, And that kind of
holds true. And I think that's that's why I like
that song so much, because it's almost timeless. No matter
what happens, it will every decision in life, every day,
everything that you do will lead you to where you're
going to be. And I just think that that's a
(33:11):
super powerful message and that's one of the reasons why
I landed on that song to put it on the EP.
You know, I was pretty disappointed with how it kind
of came out of the gate. Granted I didn't have
a team that I was working with at the time,
just trying to figure out which direction I was going
to go. But for people who have kind of dipped
back into the songs that have released in the past,
a lot of people come back and say, well, how
(33:31):
I really like what you did.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
You know, great storytelling on that one, and I think so,
you know, I don't like to think that I put
anything bad out, but that's just just being being a
little biased.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
But now that one was that one was I think
a really unique one compared to the rest as far
as the lyrics and the story.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
That goes with it.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
It's good stuff out there. Love it and we always
like we say that even the podcast land. I don't
like to think we put on anything bad, but boy,
it's hard to please everybody out there. So you just
do the best job you can put out what you
think your gut tells you is the best feeling out
there too. Well again, a website is the Kyle Elliott

what's something.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Man, Hey, Brandon, good to see you, buddy.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, man, it's good. You know, it's July coming up.
I cannot believe we flipped the calendar now the next
few weeks and it's like we're the second quarter. Go
now we're getting into the third quarter of twenty twenty five,
and it feels like we just started the year done.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
It never slows down, man, It feel like every year
it just goes faster and faster.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I think it's part of aging.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Right, Yeah, I'm getting aging according to the hair locks
now and everything on the lettuce on the lid there too.
At the same time, like this where the lid so
you can cover the lettuce, you're like a little bit
of white, a little bit of gray. But that's good
wisdom right there too. At the same time, Hey, let's
talk about your journey, man. I want to know about
it the listeners do at the same time too, because
I love introducing them to brand new artists here on
(01:46):
the show. I've heard about you, but they may not have.
At the same time encourage me to go to the
stream a lot of the music we're gonna play here
on the show, but talk about with just when the
music kind of the bug kind of bit for you
and you're gonna turn this from a hobby into a career,
And kind of the growing up.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Part, well, I didn't really have a choice growing up
in Nashville, which I feel like is pretty rare these
days to find people who did that. But growing up
in Nashville, I was always surrounded by music. My parents
always had it on the radio.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Most of the time. I was country, but I grew
up in a very musically diverse household.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
My dad was big into eighties rock, mom loves her seventies,
and I have an older sister who had in Sync
on eleven on her boombox when I was a.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Kid, so I grew up with everything.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
But my mom was actually our church music director when
I was a kid, so I got video probably at
the age of three, of me singing on stage at church,
and she ended up being a high school music teacher
for about twenty five years, and so I ended up
singing all throughout the school, and so.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
It was always just a part of life.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I actually didn't see myself pursuing music long term, but
when it came time to go to college, I didn't
really know what else I wanted to do, and so
I originally went to go study music first. I went
to Southern Illinois University of Carbondale for nice selukis out there,
studied music there for one year year and then realized
(03:01):
I didn't have the money to do it and music
wasn't gonna pay the bills. So I ended up transferring
back to to Nashville and I went to Middle Tennessee State,
where I graduated with a production degree in video and audio,
which I know we were chatting about before. I did
a lot of podcasts, did some some live sports and
UH and news work, but that doesn't pay either, as
(03:25):
you're probably pretty pretty well familiar with UH, and I
ended up getting a.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Job with a with.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
A tech startup doing some marketing work and I just
hated it. But during during college, I played with a
rock band for a while and that kind of fizzled
out after after college was over and about a year
and a half into the to the real world working,
I realized that there was something missing from my life
and that something was music, and so I grabbed my
(03:55):
guitar and just started writing songs again and it came
out country this time, which really glad it did, because
that's that's where my heart and soul has always.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Been, you know, being from Nashville.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And first Open my Night was on a Tuesday at
one thirty in the morning, after fifty seven other people
had gone in front of me, and the only other
people that were there were the other six that hadn't
played that were after me. So it's been a long
journey since then, but that's that's kind of where where
it kicked in for me.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
And I've been doing full time music since twenty.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Eighteen and I love every second of it, as as
hard as it can be.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
It's it's definitely the passion and the gift.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
That I was given, so I feel that's my obligation
to share that with people.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Definitely, that's one of the things you mentioned, a passion obligation.
They'll get paid a lot to do this, but at
the same time, when you're good at something, you might
want to share that skill with somebody else. Hey, talk
about just the looking back at you know, twenty eighteen,
twenty nineteen, when that first single Sunrise comes out, which
is one of the first ones that I listened to too,
as soon as I got to know you and your
artistry at the same time, and how things really change
from the first one up until the new single now
(05:00):
across all the DSPs, which we're going to dive into,
uh called wild out There, And it's a lot of
changing trying to find your sound, discover who you are,
who you want to be, and kind of the authentic
artist side.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Talk about that for me absolutely so growing up, you know,
into the high school and college era, you know, you
have the kind of bro country sound, and back then,
even though I knew I knew I grew up in
the nineties, loved the nineties sound.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I was trying to be relevant and trying to trying.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
To fit into ah to the scene at the time.
And even though it wasn't as authentic, you know, I
still enjoyed listening to all types of music and so
I did my best and so Sunrise is a bit
more of that, Like beachy kind of up you know,
up feeling I guess, you know, the sunny rise summer
vibe that you get from that song. And it went well,
(05:46):
but but I I really tried to find the true
sound that I wanted afterward, and I think that's where
the lines kind of got blurred for me, was just
trying to put out music that people liked and then
putting out music that I really was passionate about. And
so I interviewed like one hundred different producers when before
recording Sunrise and the rest of that first EP that
(06:09):
I released, and it sounds a lot poppy, rocky because
that's the style of that producer. The other songwriters that
I worked with ended up being a little bit more
on that side as well, versus what is now the
wild and the other stuff that's coming down the pipeline.
After COVID happened, I started performing really full time, I
(06:30):
mean sometimes ten shows a week and it was up
to over three hundred shows a year and a lot
of those recover gigs.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Playing down on Broadway in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And that's where really paid those dues and realized that
I loved the more of that traditional sound versus more
of the pop sound, and so when I started sitting
down really focusing on what I liked, a lot of
a lot of things that were similar to that where
you're nineties country and today's kind of red dirt sound
as well. So that's kind of where that comes into
(07:01):
for this new sound with this new song.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, I want to build on that too. We gotta
play some music here from Kyle Elliott on the show
Texas Red Dirt Sound. How big that's blowing up right
now too. A lot of shows happening be in the
summertime here down here my neck of the woods in Texas,
and of course at the beach at Can't Margaritaville and

we're gonna play one too. It was the previous single

Yeah, absolutely one of my favorite things to do when
I'm not singing or playing, which is not very often.
A huge, huge fan of dancing, so go love going
to the dance halls. There's only a handful of them
here in Nashville, but one of the places I spent
my twenty first birthday was at the local dance hall here,
and I just love it. For whatever reason, it is
like an escape for me. And back in twenty twenty two,
(13:32):
I realized, out of all the music I have, you
can't really dance to any of it, and so I
had this goal in mind to where I wanted the
local DJ here at the dance hall to play my
song so that people could dance to it. It's just
a simple cowboy cha chaw, and that's kind of how
it came to be. I was influenced the bit. You know,
there's a lot of that dance and style of music
with guys like John Party and Cody Johnson have a
(13:57):
lot of those sounds. So I was like, that's kind
of the the next corner of music that I want
to find myself in is that dance and sound, and
so dance and Slow came about. It's a little ironic
because it's not really a slow song, but this story
behind it goes right hand in hand with somebody who
likes to dance.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
So yeah, I mentioned that red dirt sound there too,
But man, so much of these, so many of these
guys down here, Kevin Fowler, Aaron Watson. It's just so
many of these guys. Pat Green just passed through here too.
Randall King at Texas red dirt sound. It's so good
for the radio, because what's great about Texas is if
they like you, they'll buy a ticket to your show.
If you're being playing on radio down here, your stream
here and it's done right, they're going to come out
and see you too. And whether it's Louisiana or Texas
(14:35):
down or too. But so much of the great sound
out there too that now Texas has. These aren't probably
some of those names I mentioned influenced you too, right.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
They sure did. I've been really the first.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
The first Texas country that I was really influenced by
was the Josh Abbot band. Got to see them back
in twenty nineteen, I was I had a conference down
in Fort Worth, Texas that was unrelated to music that
I was at, and I was like, well, while I'm here,
I got to.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Go to Billy Bob's and had no clue.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Walked in there was a twenty dollars cover, which I
thought was kind of steep. I was like, wow, you know,
we don't ndercovers in Nashville. But about forty five minutes
of hanging out in there, watch people dance, having a
couple of drinks they like, the show is about to begin,
And sure enough, thousands of people were singing every word
to Josh Abbitt's music.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
And I'd heard of him, but I never really paid attention.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And that night lit a fire under me, and ever
since then, Texas country has been really a passion line.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I mean, just a huge fan.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Get every chance I get to go see them, which
here in Nashville, a lot of those guys don't have
massive shows, so I can still get pretty good tickets
to go see them, and super thankful for that.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
But a really big fan of that Red Dirt.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Sound well, and that too is well, it's influenced a
lot by the music. Let's back up a little bit.
Come On Over. Got to talk about this one here
for the fans out there.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
So Come On Over was released during the COVID era,
which I think is why it really did as well
as it did. I had a lot of push We
actually took that to radio as well and did really
well with it too. But I did a big push
over in the UK, which if you haven't been to
the UK and talked about country music, those people are
absolutely insane.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
For it.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
They love it, and it blew my mind. When I
started doing a lot of marketing over there. I'd actually
worked with a manager who was from there, and we
just did this really big push would come on Over.
And now every time people come to the shows who
have heard me from you online.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
They're like, you got to play this when you got
to play this one?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
So it was a crowd favorite, which I'm sure other
musicians have said this. It was probably my least favorite
of the of the select songs that I had selected
to release, but people send to love it the most.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
So really happy with the way that it turned out.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
From that period of time in my music career, I
think it was probably the best piece of work that
I could have put out.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Definitely is. And then you look back and it turns
into a full EP and it's titled Love Hangover. I
want to dive into this one. You a little bit too.
A lot of fun stuff on here too, a lot
of good songs mentioned. We talked about Sunrise a little
bit and come On Over Empty was a single you
guys put out before it made the EP. Another great project.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, Love Hangover was something I worked a long time on.
You know this collection of songs. I'd written hundreds of
songs over the course of those couple of years, and these.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Really just kind of stuck with me.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I think I was going through a lot of similar
lifestyle habits during that time. You know, I was, as
you know, drinking is a huge part of the industry,
and I found myself when I was performing every day,
it was just a natural part of what was happening
on stage, and so that played a big role into Empty.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I actually wrote that with a girl who went to.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
High school with who I ran into at one of
those writers rounds in Nashville, and you know, it just
kind of fell into place the way that it felt
it was right, and at the time didn't have any management.
Really was just kind of coasting on my own, figuring
out what it was that I wanted to do. And
the only thing that I came to mind was I
want people to hear what I'm doing right now. And
(17:59):
so as I kept writing more and more songs, I
was like, well, I'm just going to keep pushing these
things down the line, and so I sat down and
picked out my favorite ones that tended to be the
most personal to me. And so even though there's a
lot of a lot of great sound in that ep.
It's kind of a sad, sad story to go hand
in hand with every one of those songs. So if
you listen to it from top to bottom, I organized
(18:21):
them in the in the way that I thought was
most you know, had the most continuity to it.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
And tells a story.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
But thankfully I've moved on from some of those sad
days and and things have been gotten a lot better. Obviously,
Dance and Slow is a lot more upbeat and a
lot more positive, and Wild is a little bit more
of a reflective song, but you know, I think it
speaks a lot to where I am now and where
I came from.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
So that's great out there too. And each one is
like a building block for a song you put out
to get to the next best project. Musicians never rest
on their laurels. If I've learned about one thing about
doing the show over the last six years, Just like man,
they're always putting out the next project. Because I always say,
as yesterday's news, today, we'll put out some fresh stuff
and we get to play here on the show. Kyle

Make sure you guys go do that for Mike. It's
a fantastic podcast out there. It's called Back to the Bullpen.
(24:30):
I've actually checked it out there on YouTube. Back here
with Kyle Elliott here Wild. So I guess we talked
about time to get wild here on the program. That's
a fun tune, man, And this is something you guys
put out there back just here June twentieth to get
people motivated about I'm sure Cravin new music.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
That's it, man.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
We are getting ready to push out a ton of
music over the course of the next year.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
And this was I'd actually released an acoustic.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Version of it a couple months back and got such
a positive, positive response to that that I felt the
need to with this thing out there and give everybody
the full experience working with a with a new studio
here in Nashville and some of the best players that
I've had the opportunity to work with, and it just
came to life, I mean took on this whole uh,
(25:14):
this whole life of its own, and I could not
be happier with the way that it turned out.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
The story is a little actually pretty reflective on my
own life.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
It gets from a guy's perspective about a girl, and
I think, you know a lot of guys have been
there with the girls who don't want to settle down
and just want to go out.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
And have fun.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
But in a lot of ways, that's me too, you know,
I live this crazy life, live this crazy dream, trying
to chase a chase, chase the the stature of being
a successful country music singer, and a lot of ways
that's put the other things on hold, you know, starting
a family and you know, doing the other things in
life that I'm passionate about.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
But it's a wild ride, and I think that.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Kind of is the exact reason of naming it wild
and so I'm very happy with the way that it
turned out. And just here in the first couple of weeks,
we've we've we've killed it, and I've had a ton
of people tell me how much they love the sound
and love the direction, and I think it fits perfectly
with where I want to be right now.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
No, it's good stuff out there to It motivates people,
and it takes us on that ride in life of
where you were to where you are now to where
you want to go in the future, and has all
three different phases for people there too. I was like
you back years back, I'd said I'll never get married
and this and that, start a family, whatever else. But hey,
Lord has plans for certain people. And fifteen years later
I look back and I'm like, here it is now
five year old daughter, and it's just it never ends
(26:29):
when it comes to doing this show or something else,
or you know, getting those goals achieved out there from
where you want to be in your career. And of
course you and I have a lot of things in
common and we'll get to that in a little bit
from our previous bios and things like that mine from
a radio standpoint, yourself as a musician too. I love
that we have things in common. I want to talk
about another just one of those songs. It really hits
to the core.
Speaker 15 (26:49):
Man.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
I hate goodbye because this is one of those things
where we do in life and this can mean so
many different things across a number of different spectrums.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Right absolutely. I already mentioned that trip out to Fort Worth.
I wrote that the week I got back, and I said,
this has just got to be something. If I want
to make a change in direction, this is going to
be it. And it was one of those that fell
out quick. You know, some songs take months or years
to write. This one happened in a matter of about
an hour and a half. Got together with a co
(27:17):
writer at you know, Belmont University, big big songwriting school,
and got together with a few of the students there
at the time, and said, this is what I want,
you know, and I brought some references to it, and
in less than two hours we had I Hate Goodbye
and that that thing hits hard. My band will tell
you that they probably love that song more than anything
that I've put out.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
And they're like, it's just so real, it's just so
right to the point.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
And I couldn't agree more Vocally, it's pretty challenging, you know,
it hits right there at the top of my range.
But I think that shows a lot of dynamic and
what can be offered. So happy that that people love
that one as well. It's it's definitely one of the
more personal things that I've put out.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Definitely one of the ones I love the most. Out
there again, d Kyle Elliott dot Com for more information
out there too at the same time, dates, merchandise, things
like that. Check it out and stream wild across all
those DSPs out there too. I want to get to
another song here a little bit, but I gotta have
fun too, because you mentioned there too, you're a football fan,
not so much I know Tennessee Titans. Of course. Now
you've got another rookie quarterback coming up there too to
(28:15):
pick up where Will Levis I guess couldn't pick up
over the last couple of years since he got drafted.
But for me, I'm an Arizona Cardinal fan. People always
ask why, and there's a story for that for a
different day, but in a little bit of a Houston
Texan fan because I grew up with him when the
franchise got started back in two thousand and two, and
back in my early radio days, I was doing coverage
for affiliates for Texan games out there too at the
same time. So I go back with Mark vander Meer
(28:36):
and the guys since the franchise started, David Carr and
just all the great guys that started with that franchise too,
JJ Watt and everything from that particular point in country
music and of course in sports, your favorite team for
the NFL, who do you root for when it comes
down to it. And I know the Titan thing has
got to be one of those itches you don't want
to scratch, right, He definitely is.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I always tell people when I dial with the Titans
to bury me so they can let me down one
last time.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
But I actually grew up a Broncos fan, believe it
or not.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
When I was a kid, that was the John Elway days,
and for whatever reason, I just latched on and I
have been a fan pretty loyally right up until about
at the end of the Peyton Manning era.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
It when they when they picked up Russell Wilson, that
was a nail in my coffin. And things obviously haven't
been the same since.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
So still a fan, but I'm not as religiously of
a fan as I used to be, you know, a big,
big fan of the league overall.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
I think it's a different era.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
You know, you're following players more so than you're following
teams in a lot of in a lot of.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Ways these days.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
And but I've been I've been a football fan literally
as long as I could remember.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Now I'll tell you this, I love getting into fantasy
football this I'm like four or five leagues that just
keeps getting more like two or three every year. Do
you play it? Do you like it? And for me,
it's like another it's another job, it's full time.
Speaker 12 (29:55):
It is. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
I have a league with some guys that I went
to college with, and I won't say I'm very good
at it. I like to take a lot of risks
and they, for whatever reason, they make me the treasurer
of the of the league. But no, when it came
to it, when it came down to it, this year,
I was just trying to be real bold and I
took Travis Kelce in the first round and that was
(30:18):
a huge mistake.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
I think he didn't score a.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Touchdown till Week six, so it was it was a
risk took it. I didn't finish last, so I'm not
super upset about it, but definitely did not make the
finals this year in my fantasy football league. So I
will have a high, pretty high draft pick this time around.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Yeah, I keep going, who am I going to stay
with that number one pick and choose out there too?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
For that?
Speaker 2 (30:40):
And I'm still debating that and reading all the magazines
and all the fantasy leagues. I'm made all the stuff
they put out for the stats and all the different
things out there with the notes and things like that.
So I'm debating who I'm gonna choose with that number
one pick this year. They'll have to wait for I
guess future episodes because I was like two or three
names you can always look for. But you're right, yeah,
you never know how this stuff is going to go.
It's like it's like a crapshoot walking into a casino
(31:00):
and putting your money down. There's no guarantee. Although I
won like two or three years ago that I almost
went back to back this year, and I think I
finished like second or third from my Yahoo league. But
I'll tell you this. A good friend of the Show
of the Righteous Brothers, that group, Bucky Hurd, who lives
in Nashvillebut two, he's actually remember there, he goes, I'll
me get your number. I'm gonna throw you in another
two or three or four leagues. I'm like three or four.
So it's just the play and for fun, and it
(31:23):
really has a really cool camaraderie coming together. What about
other hobbies and things that you enjoyed doing outside of music.
When not doing that, what do you like to do
for fun?
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Man, I'm a big traveler.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
That's one of the perks about this job as I
do get to see a lot of incredible things and
go to a lot of incredible places. If I'm not
traveling for work, you usually find me in a warmer climate.
Big cruiser. I've been cruising for gosh years. I think
I'm on like number twenty four. If I were to go,
get me and my friends typically take one big vacation
(31:52):
every year.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
We got to go. One of my buddies to get married,
so we did a big bachelor.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Party on one last year and that was a lot
of fun. But b outdoorsman two. I grew up outside
and love of hiking, camping, that kind of thing. But
if I had to pick a top hobby, I'd probably
be dancing a big swing dancer, you know, two step
and line dancing.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
It's one of my favorite things to do.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I love it. That's always a great hobby. It's a
hell of a workout too. At the same time, Hey,
let's talk about backing up to twenty twenty one to
mention one song I want to kind of get in
there lead to this let's talk about this one and
that how this one kind of came together because another
life story well told.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, you know, I mentioned that a lot of the
songs were kind of kind of sad or depressing in
a lot of ways. This one's a little different because
though it's talking about a specific story in the song,
I think it's more metaphorical than that. You know, I
never thought that I would be a full time musician.
I never thought that this would be, you know, my career,
and so it just kind of is self explanatory that
(32:50):
I never thought that all the choices that I made
in life, all the things that I've gone through, would
lead me to this point, lead me to this where
I am right here, right now, And that kind of
holds true. And I think that's that's why I like
that song so much, because it's almost timeless. No matter
what happens, it will every decision in life, every day,
everything that you do will lead you to where you're
going to be. And I just think that that's a
(33:11):
super powerful message and that's one of the reasons why
I landed on that song to put it on the EP.
You know, I was pretty disappointed with how it kind
of came out of the gate. Granted I didn't have
a team that I was working with at the time,
just trying to figure out which direction I was going
to go. But for people who have kind of dipped
back into the songs that have released in the past,
a lot of people come back and say, well, how
(33:31):
I really like what you did.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
You know, great storytelling on that one, and I think so,
you know, I don't like to think that I put
anything bad out, but that's just just being being a
little biased.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
But now that one was that one was I think
a really unique one compared to the rest as far
as the lyrics and the story.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
That goes with it.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
It's good stuff out there. Love it and we always
like we say that even the podcast land. I don't
like to think we put on anything bad, but boy,
it's hard to please everybody out there. So you just
do the best job you can put out what you
think your gut tells you is the best feeling out
there too. Well again, a website is the Kyle Elliott
