We'd go gather cows, we'd go to brandings, we, you know.
took care of animals um and so the first stuff that i loved was cowboy songs i mean like emerald by mornin's rodeo song um loved a bunch of old marty robbins stuff he had uh a record called gunfighter ballads and trail songs it's basically just old west ballads and that was i just loved cowboy songs and i think that eventually morphed into um
Well, I think I realized pretty early on I was no good at being a cowboy.
Maybe the closest I could get was to sing about him.
Yeah, I'll go sing about you guys from now on.
i'm always just amazed by musicians who are able to write songs and write so many songs yeah how does that i couldn't think of one song how do you do that yeah it's it's kind of funny i feel like the process has evolved for me because for like well i started coming to nashville in 2018 fall of 2018 and then moved there full-time in 21 and then actually got on the road in 23 so 2018 to 23 and
like five years all i did was write i wasn't playing many shows did a few but for the most part it's just stacking up songs um and then in 23 got busy on the road and then we put the first record out in 24 basically all of 24 and 25 i think i wrote maybe a total of two songs
um just because we were so busy on the road and it you're exactly right it feels like a different uh mode like when you get in writing mode then stuff starts to come easier um but for those two years it was just non-stop on the road playing shows and i didn't really think that much about it i definitely have ideas on the road like i'll get a little snippet of something and you know i got a
so yeah always trying to like if something might be something write it down or make a voice recording of it whatever um and then so like the beginning of this year january and february we spent a bunch of time um writing and it was fun we did a couple uh retreats went up to the mountains in idaho spent a week there went down to key west spent a week there um
inspiration from different places yeah and you just like it's fun to when you have nothing to do but write we just get a cool house and uh me and my producer and then we'd take uh we had a three four different writers out with us three i guess um
So yeah, and then just all you have to do is just sit around all day and drink some beers and look at the ocean and write songs.
And it's, yeah, it's pretty awesome.
It kind of, yeah, it feels like it unlocks you a little bit.
Right.
And it's fun to, you know, we'll write in Nashville too, but that's more like you kind of treat that like a job.
Right.
We're starting the ride at 11 and usually it's like wrapping up by three or four and then it's, you know, got to go get groceries or got to go.
It's kind of, you're still trying to unlock and be creative while you're in the middle of just like running errands and having a normal day.
Doing a big trip like that where you just have nothing to do but be creative.
It feels like it's, I don't know.
