The Band CAMINO

self titled LP, due out September ten. They've teased their first full length with a string of singles including roses, Sorry, Mom, One, Last Cigarette, and most recently, know It All, a refreshingly unbitter send off to a former flame after a year stuck inside like the rest of us, they're gearing up to hit the road this fall, playing a series of stadiums with the country duo Dan and Shay, and a

stint at Bonnaroo in their home state. I'm so happy to welcome Jeffrey Jordan's, Spencer Stewart and Harrison Burgess, who together are known as the band Camino. So you just released a new song, No It All, a send off to to a former flame, a relationship that didn't work out. Tell me about that track. What's the genesis of that song? So we were in um we were on a writing retreat in Florida, and uh, we were sitting looking at the beach and talking about the concept of the song.

It's like you obviously, like you said, there's an old flame and you see her out and you're not necessarily like you want her back. It's just you know, you kind of are reminiscing on the stories and all the things that you know that you know that she didn't hasn't told him, you know, maybe because it's not the most appropriate thing to to share with your with your current uh, your current flame and that comfort level you

guys had exactly exactly. And I think getting older too, you just think about like, I don't know, your ex is and getting older and you're like, man, like, yeah, they have a new thing and a wife for like I don't know, having like an ex girlfriend like get married or have kids and stuff like that, and you're it's weird and you're like, yeah, I know that they're probably way closer to that person than they are as obviously because they're with them. But there's still things that

like she's definitely never told it the kind of thing. Yeah, and and and it says in the song too. Honestly, I hope you're happy. I hope you're doing well, but it's like, you know, like we've still got some information in between us that you know you probably won't share, and we shared. We shared a time in our life too that's like only and it's really specific intimacy. So it's like, no matter how far they go, you know, you always have a certain connection with them in the

back of both your minds. This is like one of the healthiest breakup songs I think I've ever heard in my life. It's it's love to hear that. I'm glad you see it that way. Wait, so you mentioned a writer's retreat. That sounds awesome. To tell me more about that. What was just that day, like for that weekend or whatever? It was Destin We were in Destin, Florida, So we rented a beach house and went down with our producer and a couple of a couple other writers, like a

couple of frequent collaborators. Yeah, that we this guy Sethenniest that we write a ton with, Like he was like one of the Jordan's our producer and seth Innis is other writer. He was like one of our best friends. Now are like the first people we ever wrote with when we moved to Nashville and we were like we should try co writing. Our manager was like, yeah, you

should grab with my friends. And so our first ever co write that we like wrote with anybody and like collaborated with like a producer and like another songwriter and stuff. We wrote Daphnie Blue, which is like one of our it's like our song we always close the set with now and like it was our first ever like co write with these same guys pretty much, so it was to them and then, um, this guy Jeff Warburton is

an insane writer and just like a great hang. So we kind of have our like our boys that we are go too is that we just like collap with and like make music with. So yeah, I feel like there's a there's you know, you might disagree with me, but I feel like I feel like they are the the honorary band Comuno members there and they're they're always around. Yeah. They are heavy influence, Yeah, heavy influence. The community. The direction. YEA,

what's gonna ask? I mean, you started out in Memphis, what was that transition like going to Nashville, which seems it's such as you mentioned such an insanely collaborative musical place, Like, what was that like getting integrated in uh? In that community? Well a lot different than Memphis. Memphis is like I always say, like it's like I love being from Memphis.

I love Memphis. Um Like we've Memphis tattooed on my arm right here, and it's like I think with me and Spencer Garrison were actually born in Memphis two but then he moved away when he was like what five months later him, I was three years old, and then my parents we moved to Arkansas from my dad's job. So your dad went to Memphis with me. I was born there. So the soul, the soul was full blooded Memphis. Yeah, exactly.

Memphis is a very is I'd say, it's like it's like so talented as far as like musicianship and like playing live. It taught us a lot about just like some of the coldest musicians I've ever met in my wife are all from Memphis, and like growing up around that and just hearing these insane players and gospel musicians and blues musicians and like in college it was very like whoa, everyone is better than me and that kind

of thing. And it just made us like, you can't really fake like the live show and stuff like that,

so it kind of can. I don't know. It helped us become students of our instruments more because I was always just like I wanted to be a songwriter and write songs, and then I kind of got to college and was like, well I need to I need to practice guitar, so like I don't know, and then Nashville moving here, it's more of a collaborative seen as far as artistry, I think Memphis is more like independent when it comes to artistry and more collaborative when it comes

to like a musicianship. In here, it's almost the opposite of like more collaborative of like your songwriting and like just getting into sessions with whoever and just making music. And it's like it's definitely different, but still maintained some similar threads. I guess no at all. In the new single off your upcoming debut LP, how much this was put together during the pandemic or a pre pandemic, because you guys, we went went down the Texas. Yeah, I'll passo,

I'll passo Texas to record. So the original plan was we're gonna do Dan and Shay, and then in the fall we were supposed to go out with five Seconds of Summer. So obviously none of that ended up happening other than three shows with Dan Shape, but so we kind of changed our plans because we weren't planting on

doing the record until this summer originally. So yeah, we I mean, we had a lot of songs written before the pandemic, pre pandemic, but during the pandemic, we really kind of since we have anything else to do, we set a date when we were going to go down to it. It's in the city right out of Help Pasa, It's help Pornello. It's a place by Sonic Ranch. So we like set a date that we're gonna go. We're gonna go for a month with our producer and like just crush it and like do it all in a month.

So we wrote a lot like in preparation for that. So we're just trying to beat songs, make new cool, good story songs. This one, no, it all specifically we wrote pre pandemic. We write we wrote it like what was it in January? Was that January? No, we wrote this at the beach. Yeah, it was May of last May nineteen. This was like and you were supposed to go to just to go to Colorado in this writing trip,

that's what. And um, we were gonna like go down and like have kind of like a I don't know if maybe it was April, we were gonna go ski and snowboard and like it always kind of helps to get away and like I don't know, stay somewhere for a few days and it helps, like it just helps switch up your whole your brain juices and stuff. But so with with the pandemic and stuff, we just ended up getting a house so we can kind of like keep it to our own crew that we been with.

Were anything else that we wrote Everybody Dies, which is a track on this record, I guess, but I guess the track listing is now out because you can have you can order the records, so the track list was out. Yeah, we wrote a song what Everybody Dies that same week that was like April and may get it your ways on there we were we were, we wrote we mean this week. There was a lot of that we got done during that during the pandemic. Yeah, I'd say as far as like how the record got written, it once

we kind of booked those studio dates. We went down the middle of August and safe for months. It's like August and September, we've been right, I mean, we've been writing songs for so long being like oh, this is gonna be on the album. This will be on the album, like could We've been a band for six years now almost working towards this moment of getting to record our first like full length, self titled debut album like fourteen songs, and once we had those dates on the calendar of

like whoa, this is when it's we're going. So it really put us into like hustle mode as far as like there were days we were writing like two songs a day, three songs a day over the summer, just like writing all we were right, like we couldn't stop. But it was a great feeling. It was like, Okay, we have this date to like leave Nashville and go to the studio. It's like how many songs can we write?

How can we get the best songs and how can we like and we kept just like writing more and more songs, and it came down to like a dropbox.

We had so many songs, but it came down like a dropbox of maybe like fortysomething songs that were like we're trying to pick from to narrow down to like fifteen ish, and so we made we made a list of all the songs and it was like, I'll die for this song, I love this song, I like the song no. And we all went through and went through each song and listen to the demo and talked about it, and we all like put our check mark on the board, like I'll die for this. I died for way too many.

I died for like more than we could even put on the record. But that that was the hardest part. It's like picking out the record because it's like this record could look so many different ways based on the songs that we wrote beforehand. With it was like before we moved to Nashville, it's like, Okay, we wrote these songs,

We're gonna go to the studio and recorom. And now it's like we've kind of learned to turn on this collaborative creative just like write a song every day and like put ourselves in as many creative situations as possible, Like Spencer will go write a song with like some friends of his or some of the co writers who I'll write a song with it, and then we'll all three go write a song with a different track guy producer, and just like switch up the scenario every time and

just keep keep flipping over stones and trying to get just as many different kind of angles as possible because

you never know. Like this is one example, right before we left for the studio, when we were sitting down to pick this list of songs, Spencer was like, Oh, I have this song I wrote yesterday with Jordan, our producer, and Jeff Warbert and the guy we were talking about earlier, and he we I had already made like our lists and stuff of what we all wanted to be on the record, and he played this demo and the song was one Last Cigarette and I've never even heard that song,

and we were like about to pick all the songs and it was like, oh my god, not on we have to pick And that was like the second single. So it's like, it's crazy because that one made the list.

Like the day, the last experience, extremely last seconds, very uh indicative of me as personally, very procrastinator, last last minute, all my best works at the very last, And it also just goes to show We've always kind of said, like, you know, the best song wins, and and we write so much like the fact the fact of the matter is we have a surplus of songs. We can make two to three more records full links if we really wanted to. But like it's you know, are we all

in on this? Like is every single song on this record something that we would all put our chips in for? You know what I'm saying like that each of those songs are special to each of us for different reasons, but that's why they got chosen, and a lot of it did come down to, especially for that song, how is it going to come across live? Like, how are we gonna how is this going to perform? Is this gonna like affect people and hit people the same the way that we're kind of hoping our first record is

going to do. It makes like a statement. Yeah, since it's a self titled record, we really want as close to who we are and right now, you know, as as caught as soon as possible. I mean you said earlier, writing two to three songs a day, I mean for someone like me who's never written a song in their life, that sounds like absolute madness. To me, and do you find that the best songs come quickly they just sort of fall out almost fully fleshed out, or is it

different every time? Times? It's different almost every time. I feel like with one last cigarette, feel like I remember you saying like you they like wrote it and they were kind of it was kind of like they were all tired and like, yeah, it was like we had all been bailed on or like they had like a all right canceled and like everyone which just kind of not in like a bad mood, but just kind of in like a fuck it whatever kind of mood and like so and then yeah, Warburton had a like just

a little acoustic star riff. We're like, I mean I guess or why not? And no, it all, no, it all is the same way like we were. We didn't even finish writing that song until we were in the studio recording it. Like we recorded all that. We pretty much had the instrumentation, but we were like still not super sold on all of the lyrics. We like, we're we spent a lot of we spent like multiple days

rewriting you know it all a couple of times. Yeah, because like we we kind of all had like our ten that we're like we'll die for it like these are and then like the last like four or five was like all this could be like a bunch of different combinations, and so we kind of got down to the studio and like, let's just try to start tracking

the ones we know. We have this list of like eight that we want to pick like four or five from and we're gonna feel kind of feel out how it's going in there in the room and like so that no, it all was kind of one of those ones that was like Okay, we we like, we like the song, but we want to tweak it, like I feel like it needs changes, it needs like the demo

is a lot different than the final cut. It was cool because we got down there and we were just feeling the feeling the creativity and energy downe writing a way of like man, we're making our album, and like every all the ideas that were coming out, we're like they just felt like it felt right. It felt like they were there to stay. Yeah, but what but to speak to her what you're saying. A lot of a lot of them ended up they just came out. A lot of them were like two or three our rights

which is pretty quick for for a right. But you know, once you get on a good idea and you're like have a good energy in the room and everyone's kind of vibe and it's a lot of the time they will just kind of fall out and everyone like, well, they'll stand the test of time. Yeah, So it's got, it's it's both, it's there there, it goes both wise, and I won't say writing two to three songs days

something I hardly ever knew. It was like there was like a two week period right there before the end of the kind of the cut off period of like, okay, we need to start picking songs and like preprolling songs and figuring out how what we're gonna kind of the way we're gonna track it for the two weeks kind of before we leave, so like we need to we kind of need to cut off and at least make a pretty final list of what we're gonna do and I'll pass out. So it was like right before that

cut off period, I feel like we were just dry. Yeah, we were. We were putting put in some work, but it was so fun. It was fun. Looking back on it, it's probably the best part because you're just like because yeah, I don't know how, I don't know when we'll be able to do that again, or like go spend a month at a recording studio or even be able to book a month at a recording studios continuously. Yeah, I was gonna say. I And the fact that everything is sort of stopped or at least slowed down in the

last year. Was that a blessing or a curse? Did that make it so that you you found yourself almost second guessing like every single part, like the bass part of the trump out, the guitar part, and really like because you have so much time to really go deep on every element of it. Or was it Was it more of a positive for you? Is it it really give you a chance to really polish it and make

it exactly how you wanted it. Probably a little both, But I'd say, like as far as just the studio vibe, like a month sounds like a long time, But we

we really like the way we tracked it. We just started off and we would try to finish the song a day just to track like the instrumentation from the top, So like the first two weeks was just like a song a day, just getting like the basic instrumentation down, and then like the second two weeks was like going back through and finishing and putting vocals and putting like finals.

So it's really we kind of had like two days per song, which really isn't like that much time to like make a full song like the way that you want to put it out into the world. So like it still wasn't even that much time we were I felt like we were like burning the candle the whole time we were there, just like and kyd of just moving with it and trying to trust our first instincts instead of being like, oh, let's do this base part eighty nine times, it was like, no, that was sick

what you played the first time, but that was it. Yeah, let's leave it. Like and that's where it's kind of nice to have a have a producer that we trust as well, Georgie Smith, like when he says he's really good at finishing project, like he's really getting staying like let's stop here, like that's that was great. I don't think we're gonna beat that. We can try this a hundred more times, but I don't think it's gonna be

the same. So that was it. It was good to have him there as well for that for that purpose, and I feel like the whole year, I mean, like Jeff was saying, it was, it's a little bit of both, because when we scheduled the studio dates, like a switch is flipped and everybody was just like, I on the prize,

we're going there, We're doing that. Like I don't know, I don't know if when we picked a studio date, I second guest anything until maybe the last week of the of the studio time, where I was like, is that okay? Like is cool, because as soon as we got there, it was just balls to the wall. Everybody's just running and running and gunning, ready to go. So, like like Jeff is in, it is a little bit

of both. But we were already like we we had been in quarantine for four months five and we had done pre production and stuff like that to try to get it all as styled before we went, Like obviously we wanted to leave some space for you for creations and stuff as well, but like we had made made a lot of decisions before we we even yeah, we'd even gone, So that was that was helpful as well. I love how the guitar is just front and center, especially on a track like like One Last Cigarette and

I read this is total guitar nursery. There's a sim, a helix sim that you have that makes an electric guitar sound acoustic. I've never even heard of that. Can you tell me more about that? It sounds awesome. Did you see are the One Last Cigarette live? We did? Yes, Yes, I did, yes, yes, Jimmy Kimbell. Yeah, and I'm playing I'm playing the telly and it sounds like the acoustic and it's crazy. It's a yeah, it's a helix passion.

They just came out with a bunch of acoustic sims and like a lot of them are I think made for like running an acoustic through but if you run an electric through it, it sounds like we kind of had to tweak it a little bit, but like we got it pretty close. And like that that guitar on like on Kimmel is the electric and it's and like people are commenting like, oh, this is this sounds like

this sounds like an acoustic and he's playing electric. This must be all tracks and like, yeah, there are there are backing tracks that we're playing along to that are given it beef, but like since and like under underlying stuff, but like that guitar is a lot and it's crazy that they can do that and make that sound like

an acoustic technology. Yeah, I don't know how it works, man, but those guys, I know an interview gave you were talking about how your producer, Georgan Schmidt, he encourages you to go towards more unusual sounds. I want to ask you more about that. Like I'm thinking of like his you're his like being your George Martin figure in a lot of ways, and like, well are natural. I think all of our natural dispositions is trying to to like

try to find a really unique kind of thing. And Jeff is really like super into synths and loves like that sort of thing and pedals and all this different. I mean, we we all are. So we're all just looking for something that's gonna make it, and we just like to play when it comes down to it, especially when you go to a new place that has like new toys that you've never played with. Like we got to play with a whole bunch of new stuff that we had never synthesizer, Yeah, and I had like just

got it. Got this synth called the Oaky one just like this little it's basically got a toy and I we brought it down there and that like that was pretty like a pretty prominent thing on on the throughout the record. So it was just he knows how to get the main sounds, like he's a whizar start making drowns drums sound good. Also helps up. We have a really insanely good drummer and he also played based on

the record. I don't know if you said that yet, but so you know, it's nice to have a good basic sound and then you know, but it's like anybody can do that, but to put the little spice on top and to and to really figure out what you know, nobody else is going to do or say yeah, I feel like too with Jordan's we have gotten really comfortable

with him too. I mean not comfortable in a bad way, but comfortable is in the fact that we he was the first person we ever co wrote with and like let we let him like run the track and so like we just like have built this trust relationship with him and like because like when you have a producer, like your sound is in their hands, like they're pressing

the buttons. They are obviously you're putting out all the ideas and playing the parts and stuff, but the way that it's sonically coming together is like he's touching the buttons and like there has to be trust on both ways that you know he and like, I think that's just grown over the past what three years, three years you and like we've been made. He's been making producing

us since Daphne Bleue. I guess it was the first thing we put out with him, and like we just had this level of trust and where I think we're

all He's having a lot of fun. He grew up doing pop punk bands and rock bands and like a scene guy and then eventually moved to Nashville and got into more pop and country, and like, I think he's having a lot of fun with us, like getting more experimental, because he's making a lot of like amazing like country music and like pop music that's like pretty pretty down the middle, not in like a bad way at all,

but just like less experimental. I think that he can get with us, not that we're like super weird and stuff, but we do try to, like Spencer said, try to find weirder sounds and ways to make stuff sound a little different while still like being digestible. And I think Jordan has he has a good filter of like what's too far? Oh, we need to make this weirder, We need to make this less weird. Like I love that stuff.

I love the gold, I love the old analog since like melotrons and style of phones and stuff like that. The Yeah, we used that, the Profit six profits. We have a couple different junos. Yeah, Profit six was like probably the he bought one after Yeah, I went home

and we had to have it. So it's insane, So we used that, and then the OPI one, like he was saying, like really changes the whole dynamic of a lot of layers on a lot of songs because it's you can sample things in the room and like just make it like spit out little beats and percussom groups and synth lines and our arts and like just changes the thought process of things more than any things. I think. It just it just does a lot and you're like, well, oh, well what if I you know, what if you did

this with it? Just put it puts you through some different neural pathways and it's it's really nice, kind of makes it fun to do music again. Well, speaking of of throwback analog technology that I love. You guys recently released a record for Record Store Day, four songs by your buds in the band Camino. I'm a huge vinyl nerd. I mean record Store Day for me is like practically a holiday. You guys, big grate divers like you got to record stores a lot and uh find any gems lately?

If you do? Do you not as much as I should? Man, I have I have some little rector here's like some Huey Lewis and some random things like I don't have a record player right now. I used to have like a kind of a shitty one, but like I used to when we were back in Memphis a little bit, but not not so much since we've been in town, which I feel like they would have some really like sick like say stuff. Probably you can probably find some stuff pretty usy out here. But yeah, it's not that

I don't want to do that. It's that I don't do that, like I definitely would if I if I if I tried. But I'm sure we'll we'll all become collectors eventually. We've you know, we've as we've been putting out our music. It's you know, we're kind of creating our own collection for ourselves at least giving ourselves a starting point. But but the record store day thing was really cool. Yeah, it was really cool to be a part of that. Our records and actual record stores was

really cool. Are there any musical influences that really tie three you guys together, Like any all shared people that you all listened to when you're first starting out. There's like a lot. It's probably like a lot of the stuff you would expect, but like I think bands, like a lot of bands like I feel like ties together, cold Play, the Killers, Kings of Leon, and then like John Mayer, just like the classic incredible bands that nobody will ever be able to replicate. That's what Yeah, the

Eagles was a big one too. We all kind of came from different backgrounds and different approaches to music, which I think helps us kind of cover a lot of basses and it gives our sound kind of like I don't know, it's definitely very three sided because we all

kind of look at it a different way. And I feel like I always approached music like I have videos of me as a little kid, like singing songs before I could play like an instrument with them and just like singing song looking at a notebook and like singing a song to my dad, like I couldn't play an instrument, but I was like, I want to write songs, and Spencer, like I feel like comes from like how does it make you feel? How does this groove and like be

make you feel? I don't know, you like it's kind of like more not like not zoomed out, but more of like a less specific I don't know, well, yeah, just the way that it feels like vibe. We call him the vibe raider because he raped the vibes, like he's the vibe curator. I feel like I've always said that Spencer like he has like the coolest taste out of all of us. He shows me the most music that's like, hey, like listen to this song, Like, hey,

listen to this song. You should listen to this band, And I'm like, whoa, I've never heard of this band. I feel like Spencer is very much the quality control of the group because you know, like we're we're all we're all throwing ship at the wall and uh if we if if we throw something down and we look at Spencer and he's like, it's not it, Chief, it's not it. You gotta you gotta make something that Spencer

thinks is cool. And then it's And then at least I'm nicer about it than I think I was originally. So that's that's that's the case that you gotta have the no guy. And then Garrison. Garrison's just the player like because he's the one that can do anything. He approaches it from the technical like he plays like every

instrument and like he has he has the parts. Yeah, so we kind of have like it's it's all yeah, and then we all kind of grew up listening to different stuff too, like just like Garrison, what like Rush and then no, not Rush like a jazz guy. Where don't you ge? Yeah, so I agree with Yeah, I don't have a problem with Rush. I just want to make it clear I didn't. That's not like yeah, Journey is the yeah, way different, significantly different. I'll get into that later, but no, Um, so I grew up. My

dad is a guitar player. He's played since he was like ten years old. He's fifty four right now. Shredder Terry B for the Win. He's on the record. By the way, he did play some guitar in one of the demos we did Awesome, and I noticed it when we were listening down to our our masters. I was like, that's my dad, guys, that's my dad. Really he never ever noticed that. We never noticed it made it into the track like super Qui. But yeah, you're you're right. I grew up playing jazz music. I mean it all

started at a very young age. I started playing piano. I played that for four years. And in Bentonville, where I'm from, if you were going to be a middle school like percussionist, you had to have two years of private piano and struction because they wanted to weed out, you know, the kids that we're just gonna go and dick around. And so I stuck it out for four years. And then on my tenth birthday, I ran upstairs and there was my drum kit that I've been waiting for forever,

and um so I've been playing ever since. And my dad was very much that like driving force of like, hey, here's some weird instrumental guitar music that I love to listen to, Like you should learn that, and all the drum parts are crazy, and that stuff like Steve By, you know, even even like Eric Clapton. You know, his drummer is so tasteful, and you know it's it's not

it's not all about shreds. But it's really cool to get both perspectives of Okay, how do I swing and also shred you know, like how do you make all these things happen? And so that's how I grew up a lot of church music too. I grew up in church and uh did a lot of CCM stuff. Um, but that was kind of my upbringing. Was just an eclectic group of things that that made me want to keep playing drums. We all have that collective X worship pastor swag going on you we'll share that tattoos the show,

you know, we have a past. Um. We're interesting in quirky. Please like us. But are there any other favorite tracks on the on the record that aren't out as singles that that you can tell us about the ones that are just standouts to you that I realized, like keep an ear out for when when the records out. Um. Yeah, there's one called Underneath My Skin, which is really fun. It's kind of like a mid two thousands throwback. It's very much like a like a third eye blind kind

of thing. Yeah. Um, And then we've got some like pop stuff. There's one called who do You Think You Are? That's really sick that we're like kind of like on the John Bellion type side, so it's kind of all that kind of way. And then we've got like this one called I Think I Like You just like a like a disc seventies disco throwback, it's really like. And then we've got some really hart felt stuff. It's pretty eclectic acoustic stuff and it's all there. But anything you

want is on the record. Exactly happen for everyone. And I think a lot of people are like, what kind of music is it. We're like, it's I don't know band. You said, like live instruments, and I don't think a lot of people are like, I mean, yeah, everyone's still

playing instruments. But as far as how records are sounding, it's like you can make a record in in a bedroom on a laptop now, but we went to like a real studio and recorded real drums in a big room and guitars through like vintage amps and like that kind of stuff, because it's there's something cool to that and like you can tell a difference regardless of what people say, you can tell a different Yeah, you know it is different. It's just like a different energy, really is.

The record sounds just like live. It sounds like, you know, some dudes playing instruments, modern book, classic band band, band band, speaking of some guys playing instruments live in the Fall. You're going out on the road finally, but not only going on the road, You're going out with Dan and Shay on the arena tour. How does that feel? Let's

go crazy. It's it's an insane opportunity. We're like, I mean, the fact that we were able were we were going to do it last year and it kind of like got to not taken away from us, but everyone everyone had had a hard year last year. Let's be honest, unless you're like Jeff Bassis or something, but yeah, it was just you know, we don't we don't have much

to complaint about. But we're really lucky too that we got the opportunity to get back out there again and and we get to go on more shows this time. So it's the last the last time it was going to only be half but this time we get to do the Madison Square Garden and like all the shows we weren't going to do United, now we get to do them, so honestly kind of a blessing. Yeah, and

that way, I definitely was very awesome. But we didn't know for a long time, and we didn't know if we were even gonna be playing in the fall, and people were starting to say it's not going to be in fault until fall of next year that people are going to go out, and so it was it was scary there for a minute, and just like how up in the air it was. It was. It was a

little disconcerting. But it's also weird that we've just been at home for like over a year and then in like two months we're gonna play it like fifteen thousand people a night. It's gonna be really weird. I haven't seen like over like twenty people at a time since like in a year and until like a week ago when like should started opening back up, but like I haven't been around more than like ten people, you know, like at all. And we're gonna walk into an arena

like that's filled. This is gonna be like it's gonna be It's gonna be a crazy feeling it's gonna be insane. We're definitely ready. You got to right, Yeah, Yeah, basically the hometown. Yeah, it's like second or third show back. We have a couple little festivals doing some like random stuff.

I think we're doing one that's not announced yet still before that possibly maybe um and then we're doing a festival in Columbus and those they're kind of all like they'll be cool, but bonitaries like the first like really big. It's and it's like forty five minutes from Nashville, kind of like it's a hometown. A lot of people that we know and friends and like Nashville music industry peers and friends will be out there. It's gonna be crazy.

I'm gonna camp out. Well, we we leave like three days later to start the Danny Shade tour, so we might go a day early and camp was. We'll have the bus, which is like the glamp side we've gone the past two years since we've lived here. Like I was the last battery, but we camped out the whole time. Had did like the whole thing and so shout Out

Calliope play until seven in the morning. Yeah, we we we had a time and like so it's gonna be cool going back and playing after just like having like it was one of the best, one of the best weekends in my life and being there and camping out. Yeah, it's just a great experience to be there in general. So the fact that we actually get to play and it's like we've got a cool spot and yeah, it's just it's gonna be sick, man, It's gonna be sick. I hope lots of people lose their minds. Yeah, I'm

sure they will. And also I love that in September because it might be it might be a little cooler usually. So like I feel like Labor Day weekend is like the perfect weekend for bart because people aren't going to work on Monday after bonning, like unless you're unless you're an iron man, I don't really or you just hydrated all weekend.
