Okay.

42
00:01:42,385 --> 00:01:43,844
We're not gonna have this,

43
00:01:44,944 --> 00:01:45,444
MDGG

44
00:01:45,984 --> 00:01:47,284
this week because

45
00:01:48,145 --> 00:01:49,765
we are skipping it because,

46
00:01:50,625 --> 00:01:52,405
we have this illustrious talented

47
00:01:54,650 --> 00:01:55,150
band

48
00:01:55,609 --> 00:01:56,670
in place here.

49
00:01:57,130 --> 00:01:59,290
This is a visiting trio of musicians who

50
00:01:59,290 --> 00:02:01,370
come into the Qdio today to show what

51
00:02:01,370 --> 00:02:04,890
their fabulous, original inspiring music that they create

52
00:02:04,890 --> 00:02:07,370
can do together and to your ears. It's

53
00:02:07,370 --> 00:02:09,615
pure bliss. Over the next twenty minutes or

54
00:02:09,615 --> 00:02:11,375
so, we'll be talking with our guests and

55
00:02:11,375 --> 00:02:12,974
finding out more about them and then we

56
00:02:12,974 --> 00:02:14,754
will turn the show over to these enterprising

57
00:02:15,055 --> 00:02:15,555
incredibly

58
00:02:16,254 --> 00:02:17,235
talented artists

59
00:02:17,534 --> 00:02:19,455
and let them loose on this show so

60
00:02:19,455 --> 00:02:19,955
you

61
00:02:20,669 --> 00:02:21,409
will learn,

62
00:02:22,270 --> 00:02:25,229
how good they are firsthand. Without any more

63
00:02:25,229 --> 00:02:27,710
verbiage from me, Doctor. Gigi and I are

64
00:02:27,710 --> 00:02:28,930
proud to welcome

65
00:02:30,030 --> 00:02:32,854
Jordan Branch, Ray Martel, and Nick Martel to

66
00:02:32,854 --> 00:02:35,254
the Doc and Jacques Radio Variety Show. Welcome,

67
00:02:35,254 --> 00:02:37,414
all of you. Well, thank you. Hello. Welcome.

68
00:02:37,414 --> 00:02:39,414
Thank you for being here. And I also

69
00:02:39,414 --> 00:02:41,914
wanna say that this is gonna be video

70
00:02:42,294 --> 00:02:44,794
cast. So we have pictures of the fantastic

71
00:02:45,094 --> 00:02:47,680
band too. Right. Thanks to my vocal cords.

72
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,039
Yeah. I was a little aware of the

73
00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:50,400
video, so I don't know where to go

74
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:50,900
out.

75
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,080
Oh, is that why? Okay. He wouldn't put

76
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,060
his makeup on.

77
00:02:56,239 --> 00:02:57,919
Yeah. Set dressing didn't tell me about the

78
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,075
cameras. Okay.

79
00:02:59,455 --> 00:03:00,115
Well, surprise.

80
00:03:01,055 --> 00:03:03,615
Jordan, we'll laid off with you. Where were

81
00:03:03,615 --> 00:03:04,754
you born and raised?

82
00:03:05,295 --> 00:03:06,514
I was born

83
00:03:07,855 --> 00:03:09,314
in Weaverville, California.

84
00:03:11,849 --> 00:03:14,009
Raised is kind of a different story. I've

85
00:03:14,009 --> 00:03:14,509
lived

86
00:03:14,889 --> 00:03:15,389
everywhere

87
00:03:16,169 --> 00:03:16,909
in California,

88
00:03:17,209 --> 00:03:19,129
and I don't think I was raised as

89
00:03:19,129 --> 00:03:20,509
much as brought up feral.

90
00:03:20,810 --> 00:03:21,209
So

91
00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:24,030
It shows.

92
00:03:24,489 --> 00:03:27,525
That's yeah. I went to 17 different schools

93
00:03:27,585 --> 00:03:31,344
before I emancipated at 17. Dang. I've I've

94
00:03:31,344 --> 00:03:32,165
lived near

95
00:03:32,465 --> 00:03:34,724
any city that you can guess in California.

96
00:03:35,665 --> 00:03:37,605
So And tell us why.

97
00:03:37,980 --> 00:03:39,980
I grew up in the foster system, so

98
00:03:39,980 --> 00:03:43,439
I bounced between homes and sometimes family placements.

99
00:03:44,060 --> 00:03:45,980
And as I was became a teenager, I

100
00:03:45,980 --> 00:03:47,900
was a bit more wild, and I moved

101
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:49,740
around a little bit more. But,

102
00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:52,854
I think looking back on it now, it

103
00:03:52,854 --> 00:03:54,875
gave me a depth of empathy empathy

104
00:03:55,254 --> 00:03:57,254
to want to help others. And I'm I'm

105
00:03:57,254 --> 00:03:59,414
grateful while I used to not feel that

106
00:03:59,414 --> 00:04:01,895
way. Oh, wow. We are grateful. You are

107
00:04:01,895 --> 00:04:03,909
in our presence on this incredible When did

108
00:04:03,909 --> 00:04:05,050
you move up here?

109
00:04:06,629 --> 00:04:09,930
Four years ago. Oh. We lived in Redding,

110
00:04:10,870 --> 00:04:12,889
and it was so hot and horrible,

111
00:04:13,509 --> 00:04:16,504
like 120 degree summers. So we would come

112
00:04:17,204 --> 00:04:19,444
here because as you can tell, I have

113
00:04:19,444 --> 00:04:20,904
an obsession with rocks.

114
00:04:21,285 --> 00:04:23,944
Oh, yes. She gave us rocks. Yeah.

115
00:04:24,324 --> 00:04:27,144
Thank you. Really? Tiger. Tiger. Sardonyx.

116
00:04:27,699 --> 00:04:28,199
Sardonyx.

117
00:04:28,660 --> 00:04:31,080
Yeah. Okay. Just a fancy agate.

118
00:04:31,620 --> 00:04:33,300
But I moved here because of the agates

119
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:35,379
on the beach and the redwoods. I had

120
00:04:35,379 --> 00:04:36,040
no plan,

121
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:39,000
no career opportunity, no family.

122
00:04:39,620 --> 00:04:41,220
I just like the ocean Just relax. And

123
00:04:41,220 --> 00:04:43,480
the natures. Just relax. You hear the rocks.

124
00:04:43,964 --> 00:04:45,564
Very cool. Wow. She makes friends with the

125
00:04:45,564 --> 00:04:46,544
rocks. I do.

126
00:04:47,324 --> 00:04:48,224
No. You brought

127
00:04:48,604 --> 00:04:50,464
Ray Martell and Nick Martell.

128
00:04:51,004 --> 00:04:53,644
Ray, you're next. So even though Hello. Before

129
00:04:53,644 --> 00:04:55,889
we go any further, we wanna bring gifts

130
00:04:55,889 --> 00:04:57,650
for you guys. Oh, bear in the gifts.

131
00:04:57,650 --> 00:04:58,629
Oh. Oh my gosh.

132
00:04:59,009 --> 00:04:59,990
So this is,

133
00:05:00,930 --> 00:05:03,410
the Jordan brand. I'm I'm extra small. I

134
00:05:03,410 --> 00:05:05,330
thought the video is this about it. Extra

135
00:05:05,330 --> 00:05:06,949
extra small. Sorry.

136
00:05:07,330 --> 00:05:09,750
Some t shirts for you guys. Wow. Cool.

137
00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:10,949
Jordan brand

138
00:05:11,474 --> 00:05:14,935
and the family tree. You are from,

139
00:05:15,314 --> 00:05:15,814
you're

140
00:05:16,514 --> 00:05:18,834
you you founded Redwood Records. I did. Yeah.

141
00:05:18,834 --> 00:05:20,774
So I'm originally from San Jose, California.

142
00:05:21,154 --> 00:05:23,474
Grew up there. Bay Area boy. Went to

143
00:05:23,474 --> 00:05:25,889
Humboldt Humboldt State, as it was known at

144
00:05:25,889 --> 00:05:27,170
the time. That's how I ended up in

145
00:05:27,170 --> 00:05:27,829
the area.

146
00:05:28,370 --> 00:05:29,509
Bounced around a little,

147
00:05:30,050 --> 00:05:32,290
lived in Las Vegas after school. I was

148
00:05:32,290 --> 00:05:32,949
a microbiologist.

149
00:05:35,170 --> 00:05:37,314
Had a kid in Las Vegas. Hope I

150
00:05:37,314 --> 00:05:38,455
can find him some next.

151
00:05:40,915 --> 00:05:42,935
Oh, wait. There he is. There he is.

152
00:05:43,235 --> 00:05:45,095
Darn it. Only it wasn't me.

153
00:05:45,875 --> 00:05:46,915
Yeah. No. Good.

154
00:05:47,395 --> 00:05:48,595
And then we just moved back to the

155
00:05:48,595 --> 00:05:49,095
area.

156
00:05:49,899 --> 00:05:52,300
Nick's mom has a very large family up

157
00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:55,419
in Crescent City. So Down. Down in Crescent

158
00:05:55,419 --> 00:05:57,500
City. So it was very it was very

159
00:05:57,500 --> 00:05:59,180
logical for us just to come back just

160
00:05:59,180 --> 00:05:59,979
to to raise,

161
00:06:00,459 --> 00:06:01,519
raise the family.

162
00:06:02,139 --> 00:06:04,000
So that's how I ended up in Crescent

163
00:06:04,060 --> 00:06:04,560
City.

164
00:06:04,865 --> 00:06:07,845
Very clear. You're asking about Redwood Records. Yeah.

165
00:06:08,944 --> 00:06:10,545
When did you when did you found it?

166
00:06:10,545 --> 00:06:12,745
2016. It's a recording studio. It's a record

167
00:06:12,865 --> 00:06:14,545
it's a full fledged recording studio. It was

168
00:06:14,545 --> 00:06:16,464
around before that, though. It was around before

169
00:06:16,464 --> 00:06:18,329
that, but I officially made it. I officially

170
00:06:18,569 --> 00:06:20,750
licensed it as a business in 2016.

171
00:06:21,449 --> 00:06:22,110
There was

172
00:06:22,970 --> 00:06:25,709
no place in the area for local musicians,

173
00:06:25,769 --> 00:06:27,709
especially local musicians on a budget.

174
00:06:28,569 --> 00:06:30,569
Recording studios, as you know, can be very

175
00:06:30,569 --> 00:06:31,069
costly.

176
00:06:32,944 --> 00:06:34,545
That wasn't my goal. My goal was to

177
00:06:34,545 --> 00:06:36,384
provide a service for local musicians. A lot

178
00:06:36,384 --> 00:06:38,305
of times I don't even charge people. Right.

179
00:06:38,305 --> 00:06:41,045
We've heard incredible stories about your generosity.

180
00:06:41,824 --> 00:06:43,745
Right. Okay. That's so cool. Yeah. One of

181
00:06:43,745 --> 00:06:45,345
my latest projects to come out there was

182
00:06:45,345 --> 00:06:47,900
the new Dumpster Puppies EP they just released.

183
00:06:47,900 --> 00:06:50,500
Wow. I was at the Samala was in

184
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:52,759
there. Yeah. Samala was in there, an alias,

185
00:06:52,980 --> 00:06:55,220
turtle. The alias, turtle. Yeah. Burst through the

186
00:06:55,220 --> 00:06:55,720
whole

187
00:06:56,180 --> 00:06:58,579
the whole screw it. Did you have the

188
00:06:58,579 --> 00:07:00,180
tone was there. Because you really have to

189
00:07:00,180 --> 00:07:02,235
tone it down, to get catch all those

190
00:07:02,235 --> 00:07:03,615
wild noises they make.

191
00:07:04,314 --> 00:07:05,595
I wouldn't say I had to tone it

192
00:07:05,595 --> 00:07:07,435
down. I just said I just, it's part

193
00:07:07,435 --> 00:07:08,955
of the process is when you're when you're

194
00:07:08,955 --> 00:07:10,574
doing production engineering,

195
00:07:11,514 --> 00:07:12,254
you just

196
00:07:13,115 --> 00:07:14,955
go one instrument at a time, one piece

197
00:07:14,955 --> 00:07:17,689
at a time. Interesting. Yeah. So everything when

198
00:07:17,689 --> 00:07:19,610
you're when you're doing a recording and when

199
00:07:19,610 --> 00:07:21,389
you're actually doing a production work,

200
00:07:22,089 --> 00:07:23,870
everything should have its place.

201
00:07:24,569 --> 00:07:26,490
And it's my job to find where that

202
00:07:26,490 --> 00:07:28,970
place is gonna fit in into that sound.

203
00:07:28,970 --> 00:07:30,169
Fascinating. And then

204
00:07:30,810 --> 00:07:33,085
So So how did you go from microbiology

205
00:07:33,705 --> 00:07:35,324
to sound studio?

206
00:07:35,705 --> 00:07:37,384
Well, I've always been a musician. Mhmm.

207
00:07:38,025 --> 00:07:40,425
I mean, even back when I was in

208
00:07:40,425 --> 00:07:41,564
the eighties and nineties,

209
00:07:41,865 --> 00:07:43,865
I was doing recording back then. Oh. It

210
00:07:43,865 --> 00:07:45,465
was a lot more primitive back then. We're

211
00:07:45,465 --> 00:07:46,525
just we had tape.

212
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:48,079
I know. We had tape but then

213
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:52,019
so I was I've I've always been interested

214
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,000
more in the technical aspect of of musical

215
00:07:56,079 --> 00:07:58,479
of of music. The back end. The back

216
00:07:58,479 --> 00:07:59,919
end. I've you know, even though I play

217
00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:01,839
bass, I play guitar, I've been a musician,

218
00:08:01,839 --> 00:08:03,764
I've been in right now I'm in three

219
00:08:03,764 --> 00:08:04,824
projects currently.

220
00:08:06,085 --> 00:08:06,904
Black GTO,

221
00:08:07,685 --> 00:08:09,925
Jordan Branch and the Family Tree. And there's

222
00:08:09,925 --> 00:08:11,764
a new one that we just started. Actually,

223
00:08:11,764 --> 00:08:13,625
Nick's also in that one with me.

224
00:08:14,004 --> 00:08:16,245
We're working with another local musician. His name's

225
00:08:16,245 --> 00:08:16,985
Kyle Mullins.

226
00:08:17,379 --> 00:08:19,879
K. And he's writing. He's doing guitar work.

227
00:08:20,899 --> 00:08:23,220
He writes some very complex, very cool stuff.

228
00:08:23,220 --> 00:08:25,379
Very complex stuff. More along the lines of

229
00:08:25,379 --> 00:08:27,860
more of, not the heaviness of Shaq Nasty,

230
00:08:27,860 --> 00:08:28,680
but the complexity

231
00:08:29,139 --> 00:08:31,215
that was behind Shaq Nasty. So we're doing

232
00:08:31,215 --> 00:08:33,095
a lot of odd timing, a lot of

233
00:08:33,095 --> 00:08:35,415
weird tempos, a lot of a lot of

234
00:08:35,415 --> 00:08:37,894
weird key changes, which I love that stuff

235
00:08:37,894 --> 00:08:39,735
and and so does Nick. What would you

236
00:08:39,735 --> 00:08:42,375
call the Dumpster Puppies, brand of music? They're

237
00:08:42,375 --> 00:08:44,375
just punk. Just punk on top of metal

238
00:08:44,375 --> 00:08:46,559
scratching? Punk. Yeah. Old school punk. Old school

239
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:47,839
punk from the eighties. I mean, you listen

240
00:08:47,839 --> 00:08:49,940
to those old bands like Dead Kennedys, PIL,

241
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,200
even Minuteman. A lot of those old bands,

242
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:53,759
they sound

243
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:56,080
they they sound a lot like them. Mhmm.

244
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,919
Wow. Yeah. I I I'm gonna be honest

245
00:08:57,919 --> 00:08:59,644
with you. I I love the dumpster puppies.

246
00:08:59,644 --> 00:09:01,164
I love their sound. I love what they

247
00:09:01,164 --> 00:09:03,404
do. Wonderful. Yeah. And the the message is

248
00:09:03,404 --> 00:09:05,964
just what not what you expect. Right? Well,

249
00:09:05,964 --> 00:09:07,564
and then and that's and that's funny that

250
00:09:07,564 --> 00:09:08,924
you say that because, you know,

251
00:09:09,644 --> 00:09:11,164
You grew up in the Bay Area punk

252
00:09:11,164 --> 00:09:12,204
scene. Yeah. I grew up in the Bay

253
00:09:12,204 --> 00:09:13,485
Area punk scene. And and that was the

254
00:09:13,485 --> 00:09:14,610
thing is, like, you know,

255
00:09:15,250 --> 00:09:17,329
original music to me is just that that's

256
00:09:17,329 --> 00:09:18,769
where my heart is. I mean, you know,

257
00:09:18,769 --> 00:09:21,089
Jordan has messages. She's got some very powerful

258
00:09:21,089 --> 00:09:23,809
messages. Hi. I'm waiting for We'll find out.

259
00:09:23,809 --> 00:09:24,309
Yeah.

260
00:09:25,490 --> 00:09:27,889
Samala, she writes some very powerful lyrics, some

261
00:09:27,889 --> 00:09:30,375
very meaningful lyrics. Yep. We had the same

262
00:09:30,375 --> 00:09:32,615
way with, you know, all these other projects

263
00:09:32,615 --> 00:09:34,534
I've been in. So I just feel blessed

264
00:09:34,534 --> 00:09:35,654
to have been able to get wrapped up

265
00:09:35,654 --> 00:09:36,855
in a lot of these stuff a lot

266
00:09:36,855 --> 00:09:39,674
of these projects locally, especially the original stuff.

267
00:09:39,735 --> 00:09:42,134
Everyone's just good people. Yeah. Yeah. They're all

268
00:09:42,134 --> 00:09:44,060
good people. This is Nick talking. Nick? Yeah.

269
00:09:44,060 --> 00:09:45,840
Tell us, where were you born and raised?

270
00:09:46,379 --> 00:09:49,259
I was the child that was birthed in

271
00:09:49,259 --> 00:09:50,720
Las Vegas. Las Vegas.

272
00:09:52,220 --> 00:09:53,120
Dragged here.

273
00:09:54,379 --> 00:09:55,620
Arch eagle. Arch eagle. Arch eagle. Arch eagle.

274
00:09:55,620 --> 00:09:55,636
Arch eagle. Arch eagle. Arch eagle. Arch eagle.

275
00:09:55,636 --> 00:09:55,653
Arch eagle. Arch eagle. Arch eagle. Arch eagle.

276
00:09:55,653 --> 00:09:56,779
Arch eagle. Arch eagle. The ripe age of

277
00:09:56,779 --> 00:09:57,225
one.

278
00:09:59,625 --> 00:10:01,065
Oh. So you don't remember the desert? I

279
00:10:01,065 --> 00:10:02,504
have no no memory of the strip. No.

280
00:10:02,504 --> 00:10:04,444
I didn't get I didn't get to wander.

281
00:10:06,424 --> 00:10:07,865
And you played with your dad in a

282
00:10:07,865 --> 00:10:10,264
couple of bands? Yeah. Black GTO. So him

283
00:10:10,264 --> 00:10:12,070
and I are in Black GTO. He's playing

284
00:10:12,070 --> 00:10:13,610
bass in that. I'm playing,

285
00:10:14,230 --> 00:10:15,850
rhythm guitar. And drums.

286
00:10:16,309 --> 00:10:18,329
Drums occasionally. And today you're playing bass

287
00:10:18,709 --> 00:10:20,389
occasionally. Now what do you call that thing

288
00:10:20,389 --> 00:10:22,309
behind you? The little drum set there? The

289
00:10:22,309 --> 00:10:24,894
box? Yeah. That's a cajon. And a little

290
00:10:24,975 --> 00:10:26,894
It's cajon with a little A cymbal and

291
00:10:27,054 --> 00:10:28,815
foot pedal and I have a just a

292
00:10:28,815 --> 00:10:30,815
little separate hi hat. What what else do

293
00:10:30,815 --> 00:10:31,554
you play?

294
00:10:32,975 --> 00:10:34,595
Primarily, I play bass.

295
00:10:35,534 --> 00:10:36,034
Okay.

296
00:10:36,495 --> 00:10:38,975
I play guitar in black G2O just because

297
00:10:38,975 --> 00:10:41,289
that's kind of the role that I needed

298
00:10:41,289 --> 00:10:44,569
to fit. Mhmm. I'm playing drums in Jordan

299
00:10:44,569 --> 00:10:46,250
Branch and the Family Tree because that's just

300
00:10:46,250 --> 00:10:47,449
kind of the role I need him to

301
00:10:47,449 --> 00:10:49,389
fit. Yeah? He won't sing.

302
00:10:49,850 --> 00:10:51,629
Not yet. Can't sing.

303
00:10:53,345 --> 00:10:55,504
He can sing. Won't subject anyone in my

304
00:10:55,504 --> 00:10:57,504
singing that way. A better way of putting

305
00:10:57,504 --> 00:11:00,144
it. And then this new project we have

306
00:11:00,144 --> 00:11:01,285
going on as well,

307
00:11:01,745 --> 00:11:02,725
drumming four.

308
00:11:03,105 --> 00:11:06,029
Okay. Wow. Do you do you play, you

309
00:11:06,029 --> 00:11:09,170
play the, synthesizer over people? We have drums?

310
00:11:09,230 --> 00:11:10,930
Yeah. Yeah. I like to I I

311
00:11:11,790 --> 00:11:13,470
play is a strong word, but I,

312
00:11:14,190 --> 00:11:16,750
I mess around with synthesizers and, you know,

313
00:11:16,750 --> 00:11:19,570
I just I like I like fun analog

314
00:11:19,629 --> 00:11:22,365
gear that makes dumb noises and makes people

315
00:11:22,365 --> 00:11:24,384
cover their ears and run away. Wow.

316
00:11:25,085 --> 00:11:27,164
Jordan, back to you. I wanted to know,

317
00:11:27,325 --> 00:11:29,325
with all that moving around as a child,

318
00:11:29,325 --> 00:11:31,245
what got you into music? What was your

319
00:11:31,245 --> 00:11:31,985
first instrument?

320
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:34,279
What do you what were the big the

321
00:11:34,279 --> 00:11:36,279
big moments in your life that finally said

322
00:11:36,279 --> 00:11:38,200
I should get out and do this? So

323
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:38,700
recently,

324
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,799
I'm in a MSW program, and we had

325
00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:45,080
an assignment that called social work? Yes. Hopefully,

326
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,000
one day, I'll be a music therapist. But,

327
00:11:47,835 --> 00:11:49,675
we had to do a life map, and

328
00:11:49,675 --> 00:11:51,695
we went through chronologically,

329
00:11:52,394 --> 00:11:54,795
like, the experiences that we had. When I

330
00:11:54,795 --> 00:11:55,774
first started

331
00:11:56,154 --> 00:11:59,295
pointing down the transitions to different homes and

332
00:11:59,835 --> 00:12:02,154
traumatic moments I experienced, I wasn't happy with

333
00:12:02,154 --> 00:12:02,654
that.

334
00:12:03,009 --> 00:12:04,529
So on the other side of the map,

335
00:12:04,529 --> 00:12:05,990
I started putting instruments

336
00:12:07,250 --> 00:12:08,309
that came and when

337
00:12:08,769 --> 00:12:10,789
and when and where. What was interesting

338
00:12:11,250 --> 00:12:13,809
was that as I got older, more instruments

339
00:12:13,809 --> 00:12:15,889
came my way. I stuck with guitar, but

340
00:12:15,889 --> 00:12:18,214
I started with violin when I

341
00:12:18,514 --> 00:12:19,894
was seven, eight years old.

342
00:12:20,674 --> 00:12:23,475
I played flute, alto, sax. Wow.

343
00:12:24,274 --> 00:12:26,514
But they weren't my hard instrument. Once I

344
00:12:26,514 --> 00:12:28,514
found choir when I was about 11 years

345
00:12:28,514 --> 00:12:29,014
old,

346
00:12:29,970 --> 00:12:31,970
that was it. That was what I loved

347
00:12:31,970 --> 00:12:33,649
to do. And since then, I've loved to

348
00:12:33,649 --> 00:12:34,710
sing and

349
00:12:35,090 --> 00:12:37,570
make crazy noises. And You play guitar real

350
00:12:37,570 --> 00:12:39,570
well. You're a phenomenal singer. So how long

351
00:12:39,570 --> 00:12:41,169
did it take you to learn the guitar?

352
00:12:41,169 --> 00:12:43,075
Is this kind of a natural process? I'm

353
00:12:43,075 --> 00:12:45,154
still pretty feral. They've helped me get a

354
00:12:45,154 --> 00:12:45,894
lot better.

355
00:12:47,634 --> 00:12:49,475
We definitely tightened the ropes a little bit.

356
00:12:49,475 --> 00:12:50,294
A little bit.

357
00:12:51,475 --> 00:12:54,054
So I I'm not sure because I never

358
00:12:54,274 --> 00:12:55,414
played for skill.

359
00:12:56,350 --> 00:12:58,429
I think coming into music as young as

360
00:12:58,429 --> 00:12:59,809
I did, it was

361
00:13:00,269 --> 00:13:01,889
an unconscious way

362
00:13:02,750 --> 00:13:05,710
of finding a tool of healing. And so

363
00:13:05,710 --> 00:13:07,389
when I was dealing with hard things that

364
00:13:07,389 --> 00:13:08,370
I couldn't understand

365
00:13:08,865 --> 00:13:10,325
and that didn't feel good,

366
00:13:10,705 --> 00:13:13,264
I had music. And music was consistent no

367
00:13:13,264 --> 00:13:14,945
matter where I moved, no matter who I

368
00:13:14,945 --> 00:13:16,865
lived with, I could always bring my voice

369
00:13:16,865 --> 00:13:20,644
with me. And Right. Before singing, I wrote.

370
00:13:20,945 --> 00:13:21,745
So it was

371
00:13:22,790 --> 00:13:26,170
my poems slowly transitioned into songs.

372
00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:29,590
No. So you're playing all originals? You don't

373
00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:31,850
do have cover? We have a couple covers,

374
00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:32,889
but the

375
00:13:33,429 --> 00:13:35,850
the rule is we make them our own.

376
00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:37,485
I don't think any of us are too

377
00:13:37,485 --> 00:13:39,084
too big of a fan of covers. No.

378
00:13:39,084 --> 00:13:40,445
I tried to get Ray to play Bob

379
00:13:40,445 --> 00:13:41,825
Seger. He told me no.

380
00:13:42,924 --> 00:13:44,284
I almost kicked her out of the band

381
00:13:44,284 --> 00:13:46,764
and replaced her with another guitar player. He's

382
00:13:46,764 --> 00:13:48,784
a he's a punk band member,

383
00:13:49,485 --> 00:13:51,024
to be fair, like Bob Seger.

384
00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:54,120
See? But no. We have we have two

385
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,980
or three covers that we play.

386
00:13:57,079 --> 00:13:59,659
One, House of the Rising Sun. I

387
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,519
I love screaming it, and I feel like

388
00:14:02,519 --> 00:14:04,725
I played it for so long that as

389
00:14:04,725 --> 00:14:06,024
much as it's not mine,

390
00:14:06,404 --> 00:14:08,644
there's a part of me in the music.

391
00:14:08,644 --> 00:14:10,725
It's so highly modified from from what you

392
00:14:10,725 --> 00:14:12,825
would traditionally hear, the the traditional,

393
00:14:13,365 --> 00:14:15,284
writing. It's all kinda messed up. And there's

394
00:14:15,284 --> 00:14:15,945
no copyright

395
00:14:17,204 --> 00:14:19,365
anymore anymore. It was never because it's more

396
00:14:19,365 --> 00:14:19,980
of a

397
00:14:20,779 --> 00:14:22,959
old song. Was it traditional? Yeah. Mhmm.

398
00:14:23,579 --> 00:14:25,199
Yeah. And the other one?

399
00:14:26,139 --> 00:14:28,480
Back to Black by Amy Winehouse.

400
00:14:29,179 --> 00:14:31,500
And we just started learning what is the

401
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:32,480
name of that song?

402
00:14:33,095 --> 00:14:35,014
She doesn't even That jazz song? The jazz.

403
00:14:35,014 --> 00:14:36,134
Oh, the jazz dance? Yes.

404
00:14:36,934 --> 00:14:37,835
What is it?

405
00:14:39,575 --> 00:14:41,735
Right Time Blues. Really good question. Yeah. I'm

406
00:14:41,735 --> 00:14:44,535
right by Scott Joplin. It's very true. Yes.

407
00:14:44,535 --> 00:14:45,815
You write up why don't you do right?

408
00:14:45,815 --> 00:14:47,339
Yes. Why don't you do Why don't you

409
00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:49,019
okay. But all the songs you're gonna be

410
00:14:49,019 --> 00:14:51,679
singing today are original. Of course. Yes. Now,

411
00:14:51,820 --> 00:14:54,620
Jordan, when you go into your songwriting, do

412
00:14:54,620 --> 00:14:57,019
you write poetry first and then transmit that

413
00:14:57,019 --> 00:14:59,674
into music, or do you hear some place

414
00:14:59,674 --> 00:15:01,514
I'm on the guitar and then it speaks

415
00:15:01,514 --> 00:15:02,715
to you and you say, I'm gonna put

416
00:15:02,715 --> 00:15:04,575
those words to it? It's so honestly,

417
00:15:05,514 --> 00:15:06,014
there's

418
00:15:06,875 --> 00:15:09,455
I draw inspiration from the strangest of places.

419
00:15:10,154 --> 00:15:11,914
I wrote a song after watching a shark

420
00:15:11,914 --> 00:15:12,414
movie.

421
00:15:12,794 --> 00:15:13,294
Wow.

422
00:15:14,129 --> 00:15:16,210
Madness, the song that we're gonna be singing.

423
00:15:16,210 --> 00:15:19,029
Yeah. Which we do actually like a lot.

424
00:15:19,170 --> 00:15:22,529
Thank you. Madness was written while watching Scooby

425
00:15:22,529 --> 00:15:23,429
Doo on mute.

426
00:15:24,690 --> 00:15:25,190
So,

427
00:15:26,049 --> 00:15:28,049
but then there's other songs. Like, I have

428
00:15:28,049 --> 00:15:28,549
songs

429
00:15:29,004 --> 00:15:31,164
that I still play that I wrote when

430
00:15:31,164 --> 00:15:32,464
I was 14 years old.

431
00:15:32,924 --> 00:15:35,245
And they were moments where I didn't feel

432
00:15:35,245 --> 00:15:36,784
like I fit in, or

433
00:15:37,245 --> 00:15:38,225
I was struggling

434
00:15:38,845 --> 00:15:39,345
with

435
00:15:40,044 --> 00:15:40,544
positivity,

436
00:15:40,924 --> 00:15:43,009
and I needed some hope. So I figured

437
00:15:43,009 --> 00:15:45,330
I'd make it myself. Right on. And so

438
00:15:45,330 --> 00:15:47,250
there's still very much songs that I write

439
00:15:47,250 --> 00:15:47,750
now

440
00:15:48,210 --> 00:15:50,450
that speak about themes of, you know, mental

441
00:15:50,450 --> 00:15:52,070
wellness Yeah. And

442
00:15:53,090 --> 00:15:55,695
addressing that we have two sides within us.

443
00:15:55,774 --> 00:15:56,274
Right.

444
00:15:56,815 --> 00:15:58,575
And choosing to go for the light above

445
00:15:58,575 --> 00:16:02,335
all. So inspiration in every form. When did

446
00:16:02,335 --> 00:16:05,054
you start writing? You said by eleven, you

447
00:16:05,054 --> 00:16:07,919
were singing? But Yes. And writing came first.

448
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,579
I remember a teacher one time

449
00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:12,959
called a foster parent when I was in

450
00:16:12,959 --> 00:16:14,899
elementary school because they found my notebook,

451
00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:17,279
and they were concerned about the themes in

452
00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:20,240
it. Yeah. And I was creative writing. And

453
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,165
I was I was writing poetry, but it

454
00:16:22,165 --> 00:16:24,165
was heartfelt and it was sad because what

455
00:16:24,165 --> 00:16:26,325
I was going through wasn't easy. Wow. But

456
00:16:26,325 --> 00:16:27,845
for me, I didn't see a problem with

457
00:16:27,845 --> 00:16:30,085
it because I wasn't storing it in myself.

458
00:16:30,085 --> 00:16:31,845
I was letting it out. So that was

459
00:16:31,845 --> 00:16:32,345
okay.

460
00:16:32,804 --> 00:16:33,625
But I think

461
00:16:34,725 --> 00:16:36,404
I wanna say maybe I was nine or

462
00:16:36,404 --> 00:16:38,820
10 when I started really That was it.

463
00:16:38,899 --> 00:16:41,379
Heavily leaning into poetry. And now, I mean,

464
00:16:41,379 --> 00:16:42,899
I look like a crazy person in my

465
00:16:42,899 --> 00:16:45,300
house. There are pieces of paper everywhere with

466
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:47,339
sometimes one or two lines. I have notebooks

467
00:16:47,620 --> 00:16:50,745
Right. That have certain feelings in them that

468
00:16:50,745 --> 00:16:52,664
look different, and I choose them based on

469
00:16:52,664 --> 00:16:54,605
what I'm trying to write. So

470
00:16:55,544 --> 00:16:57,304
So do you feel that your children, you

471
00:16:57,304 --> 00:16:59,544
have two Yes. Who are picking up any

472
00:16:59,544 --> 00:17:02,664
of the songwriting or It's amazing. They have

473
00:17:02,664 --> 00:17:05,830
a happy childhood, though. They do. And but,

474
00:17:05,830 --> 00:17:07,750
I mean, they still have soul. Yeah.

475
00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:10,470
My seven year old, he constantly is either

476
00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:12,410
rapping or singing. In the car today,

477
00:17:12,789 --> 00:17:14,410
he did this interesting, like,

478
00:17:15,269 --> 00:17:16,089
oh oh oh.

479
00:17:16,470 --> 00:17:17,174
And I'm like,

480
00:17:17,735 --> 00:17:18,235
dang.

481
00:17:19,015 --> 00:17:21,035
What is that? It kinda sounds like Helios.

482
00:17:22,934 --> 00:17:25,174
But it's like he's they're happy kiddos, but

483
00:17:25,174 --> 00:17:25,835
they definitely

484
00:17:26,695 --> 00:17:29,835
are creative. His son or his older brother,

485
00:17:29,894 --> 00:17:31,195
who's 14, Silas,

486
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:32,539
he is a artist.

487
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,519
And he loves to paint. He loves to

488
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:35,880
draw. He loves to sketch, and he is

489
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,100
incredible. Wow.

490
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,480
Music, I never wanted to push it on

491
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,299
him, but

492
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:42,600
it's not as much his thing. Maybe someday

493
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,240
he'll find it, but his little brother, he

494
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,085
has been begging to come to band practice.

495
00:17:47,565 --> 00:17:49,325
He wants to come. He's like, maybe if

496
00:17:49,325 --> 00:17:50,365
you show me what to do in front

497
00:17:50,365 --> 00:17:51,565
of the mic, I can do it too.

498
00:17:51,724 --> 00:17:52,625
Expose him, man.

499
00:17:53,565 --> 00:17:56,444
He's ready. Are you ready? Three last month,

500
00:17:56,444 --> 00:17:58,444
I was very honored to be one of

501
00:17:58,444 --> 00:17:59,970
three judges at the

502
00:18:00,529 --> 00:18:02,609
Battle of the Bands at Inotec. It was

503
00:18:02,609 --> 00:18:04,769
packed. It was a huge night. Everybody was

504
00:18:04,769 --> 00:18:06,849
involved. There were nine bands. And the two

505
00:18:06,849 --> 00:18:07,349
gentlemen

506
00:18:07,890 --> 00:18:11,250
that got to be judges alongside me was

507
00:18:11,250 --> 00:18:13,865
none other than Ray and Nick Martell. So

508
00:18:13,865 --> 00:18:15,304
that was an honor sitting next to you

509
00:18:15,304 --> 00:18:17,144
guys for five plus hours, right? Well, that

510
00:18:17,144 --> 00:18:18,825
was a fun night. It was. It was

511
00:18:18,825 --> 00:18:20,585
a good fun night. So it was tough

512
00:18:20,585 --> 00:18:22,024
to make a decision. It was. And it

513
00:18:22,024 --> 00:18:23,865
was actually it's a lot more work to

514
00:18:23,865 --> 00:18:25,704
actually sit there and judge than to sit

515
00:18:25,704 --> 00:18:27,450
there and enjoy. You know what? That's true.

516
00:18:27,529 --> 00:18:30,490
Sitting and actively listening for five, six hours

517
00:18:30,490 --> 00:18:30,990
is

518
00:18:31,609 --> 00:18:33,769
tiring, believe it or not. Yeah. But I

519
00:18:33,769 --> 00:18:36,649
wanna bring out another thing about you. You

520
00:18:36,649 --> 00:18:38,269
gave one of the big prizes,

521
00:18:39,130 --> 00:18:41,369
Ray, with through Redwood Records. Tell us what

522
00:18:41,369 --> 00:18:43,149
you gave the the winner and the runner-up.

523
00:18:43,315 --> 00:18:43,815
So,

524
00:18:44,434 --> 00:18:44,934
well,

525
00:18:45,474 --> 00:18:46,375
Redwood Records,

526
00:18:47,474 --> 00:18:49,414
was part of the sponsor for that,

527
00:18:50,434 --> 00:18:51,795
for the Battle of the Bands that one

528
00:18:51,795 --> 00:18:55,315
King production put on. And my contribution was

529
00:18:55,315 --> 00:18:57,634
gonna be eight hours of studio time for

530
00:18:57,634 --> 00:18:58,695
the winning band.

531
00:18:59,009 --> 00:19:00,690
Now to me, eight hours of studio time

532
00:19:00,690 --> 00:19:01,809
means just come and hang out for the

533
00:19:01,809 --> 00:19:02,470
whole weekend

534
00:19:02,849 --> 00:19:03,990
and have a good time.

535
00:19:05,410 --> 00:19:07,029
So we got to a point

536
00:19:08,769 --> 00:19:09,269
where

537
00:19:09,570 --> 00:19:11,430
we couldn't decide on one winner.

538
00:19:12,049 --> 00:19:12,789
And collectively,

539
00:19:13,250 --> 00:19:14,630
we decided on

540
00:19:14,984 --> 00:19:17,484
two winners. And a runner-up. And a runner-up.

541
00:19:17,545 --> 00:19:19,464
Right. And at that point, I said, you

542
00:19:19,464 --> 00:19:20,365
know what? I'm gonna

543
00:19:20,664 --> 00:19:22,664
offer eight hours for each of the the

544
00:19:22,664 --> 00:19:25,144
winners. Wow. Yeah. Very cool. That was cool,

545
00:19:25,144 --> 00:19:26,825
man. That's a big, big thing for you

546
00:19:26,825 --> 00:19:28,664
to do. And, of course, it could be

547
00:19:28,664 --> 00:19:30,970
the step that many of these bands need.

548
00:19:31,430 --> 00:19:32,570
I've seen a lot

549
00:19:33,430 --> 00:19:33,930
of

550
00:19:34,789 --> 00:19:36,710
these people come to the studio not really

551
00:19:36,710 --> 00:19:37,750
knowing what their

552
00:19:38,549 --> 00:19:40,230
what direction they wanna do or how to

553
00:19:40,230 --> 00:19:41,769
do anything like this.

554
00:19:42,605 --> 00:19:44,705
We guide them through, we get them through.

555
00:19:45,325 --> 00:19:47,825
And the best part about the whole studio

556
00:19:49,805 --> 00:19:51,724
sessions with these folks is at the end

557
00:19:51,724 --> 00:19:53,565
is when As after I do the mixing,

558
00:19:53,565 --> 00:19:54,305
do the mastering,

559
00:19:55,180 --> 00:19:55,920
the playback

560
00:19:56,700 --> 00:19:59,019
and to see the looks on these people's

561
00:19:59,019 --> 00:20:01,740
faces, they're like, wow. That's me? That's what

562
00:20:01,740 --> 00:20:03,900
I do? Yes. You're a good artist. You're

563
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:05,900
a good musician. You just have never heard

564
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:07,660
yourself. Oh, wow. And when I do that

565
00:20:07,660 --> 00:20:08,799
for people, I mean,

566
00:20:09,544 --> 00:20:10,984
that to me is what makes it worth

567
00:20:10,984 --> 00:20:13,304
it. Right on, man. Yeah. And then these

568
00:20:13,304 --> 00:20:15,625
people can put these folks can put their

569
00:20:15,625 --> 00:20:17,544
music out on the Internet or whatever medium

570
00:20:17,544 --> 00:20:19,464
they want. Sure. I mixed for different types

571
00:20:19,464 --> 00:20:21,304
of media. If you're going online, I mix

572
00:20:21,304 --> 00:20:23,460
it one way. If you're gonna be making

573
00:20:23,460 --> 00:20:25,140
vinyl, I can mix do a different type

574
00:20:25,140 --> 00:20:27,326
of mix. If you're gonna go old school

575
00:20:27,326 --> 00:20:29,619
like, you know, different like somebody wants to

576
00:20:29,619 --> 00:20:31,799
do cassette tapes, which we've actually done before,

577
00:20:32,099 --> 00:20:33,220
I have to mix it a different way.

578
00:20:33,220 --> 00:20:34,740
If I wanna if it'll be for CDs,

579
00:20:34,740 --> 00:20:36,099
it's gonna have a little slightly different mix.

580
00:20:36,099 --> 00:20:37,974
So, you know, there's just so many different

581
00:20:37,974 --> 00:20:39,434
ways that you can actually approach,

582
00:20:39,894 --> 00:20:41,335
what you're doing in the studio as far

583
00:20:41,335 --> 00:20:43,255
as, like, engineer goes. I don't Nacre, you

584
00:20:43,255 --> 00:20:44,535
helping out all the time? Yeah. Are you

585
00:20:44,535 --> 00:20:46,295
gonna be do you work in in in

586
00:20:46,295 --> 00:20:48,234
the Redwood RedCard studio?

587
00:20:48,929 --> 00:20:51,569
In the capacity of, being there and playing

588
00:20:51,569 --> 00:20:53,250
music all the time. Yeah. Got it. I

589
00:20:53,250 --> 00:20:55,730
don't I don't run cable or or do

590
00:20:55,730 --> 00:20:56,049
any,

591
00:20:56,609 --> 00:20:58,529
back end stuff. I gotta get this out.

592
00:20:58,529 --> 00:21:00,529
We're gonna break, in about a couple of

593
00:21:00,529 --> 00:21:02,234
minutes at the latest because I think we

594
00:21:02,234 --> 00:21:04,075
could get in one song, which I think

595
00:21:04,075 --> 00:21:06,554
we'll do. We decided to play the phone.

596
00:21:06,554 --> 00:21:08,315
So we're gonna play we're gonna play the

597
00:21:08,315 --> 00:21:10,234
the latest release. Of course, this was from

598
00:21:10,234 --> 00:21:11,214
Redwood Records.

599
00:21:11,674 --> 00:21:13,375
This was recorded at Redwood Records.

600
00:21:13,755 --> 00:21:15,434
This is a song called All of a

601
00:21:15,434 --> 00:21:16,954
Sudden. You wanna talk a little bit about

602
00:21:16,954 --> 00:21:17,914
it or do you wanna just play it?

603
00:21:17,914 --> 00:21:20,069
All of of a sudden? I wrote it

604
00:21:20,210 --> 00:21:21,509
about a particularly

605
00:21:22,769 --> 00:21:23,750
difficult relationship.

606
00:21:25,569 --> 00:21:28,789
Upon emancipating from foster care, I fell into

607
00:21:29,809 --> 00:21:32,049
a bit of a domestic violence situation. It

608
00:21:32,049 --> 00:21:33,984
was kind of what I grew up with,

609
00:21:33,984 --> 00:21:35,045
so it was what

610
00:21:35,505 --> 00:21:36,884
I was accustomed to.

611
00:21:37,265 --> 00:21:40,464
And this was the song that represents the

612
00:21:40,464 --> 00:21:40,964
liberation

613
00:21:41,265 --> 00:21:43,505
from that. Wow. And and how old were

614
00:21:43,505 --> 00:21:44,964
you when you wrote it?

615
00:21:45,470 --> 00:21:46,769
I was maybe

616
00:21:47,230 --> 00:21:47,730
20.

617
00:21:48,430 --> 00:21:50,670
Oh, so a couple of years after you

618
00:21:50,670 --> 00:21:53,309
emancipated it. Yeah. Oh, very cool. When you

619
00:21:53,309 --> 00:21:54,930
were 20, so last year. Okay.

620
00:21:56,750 --> 00:21:58,115
Thank you. And you're gonna play it on

621
00:21:58,115 --> 00:21:59,475
your phone. Right? I'm gonna play it. Yeah.

622
00:21:59,475 --> 00:22:01,394
This is so this is gonna be released.

623
00:22:01,394 --> 00:22:03,075
And what's the date? I think it's nine

624
00:22:03,075 --> 00:22:05,075
days from now. Wow. So, yeah, it's not

625
00:22:05,075 --> 00:22:06,914

00:29:06,940 --> 00:29:07,599

Their feralness.

725
00:29:09,179 --> 00:29:10,299
Well, you're gonna hear a lot more of

726
00:29:10,299 --> 00:29:12,859
the feralness and what's the live music here

727
00:29:12,859 --> 00:29:14,700
as they take on their instruments. But while

thanks to all of you. Alright. We're back

00:30:37,250 --> 00:30:37,750
live.

763
00:30:38,130 --> 00:30:40,929
Ray, are we ready to transcend into a

764
00:30:40,929 --> 00:30:41,409
live

765
00:30:41,855 --> 00:30:43,775
Yes. Music he's gonna be playing all of

766
00:30:43,775 --> 00:30:45,134
it? Are we okay with you? Yeah. That

767
00:30:45,134 --> 00:30:47,214
would be great. Michael, you're set too? Okay.

768
00:30:47,214 --> 00:30:49,055
Everybody's shaking their heads. What are we gonna

769
00:30:49,055 --> 00:30:50,355
hear? What's the first song?

770
00:30:52,015 --> 00:30:54,434
We're gonna play Daydreaming for you.

771
00:30:54,894 --> 00:30:55,394
Daydreaming.

772
00:30:57,759 --> 00:30:59,279
The song I wrote when I was a

773
00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:00,339
stay at home mom

774
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,500
to my seven year old when

775
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,519
he was maybe three months old, and I

776
00:31:05,519 --> 00:31:07,519
was still crazy and stuck in the house

777
00:31:07,519 --> 00:31:09,855
all the time and basically just a walking

778
00:31:09,855 --> 00:31:13,154
food machine. In in Redding, California? In Redding.

779
00:31:13,214 --> 00:31:15,154
Hot. So I wrote this song

780
00:31:15,615 --> 00:31:16,115
Daydreaming

781
00:31:16,494 --> 00:31:17,954
about my honey, Russell.

782
00:31:18,414 --> 00:31:20,994
Alright. Alright, Russell. Big shout out to you.

783
00:31:21,375 --> 00:31:21,875
Daydreaming

784
00:31:22,174 --> 00:31:25,910
by Jordan Branch Family Tree. Family Tree. Alright.

785
00:31:39,144 --> 00:31:40,904
I wanna thank you for letting us be

786
00:31:40,904 --> 00:31:42,684
here. Yes. Thank you.

787
00:31:44,744 --> 00:31:46,205
This is danger, man.

788
00:32:00,450 --> 00:32:02,390
May not have the best voice.

789
00:32:03,170 --> 00:32:04,605
I may not call very

790
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:18,420
mistakes.

791
00:32:20,079 --> 00:32:21,700
You know I love the ocean,

792
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:22,740
but

793
00:32:23,359 --> 00:32:24,740
live too far away.

794
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:29,700
Dreamer

795
00:33:04,684 --> 00:33:07,345
Stuck inside on a rainy day.

796
00:33:10,684 --> 00:33:11,984
Nothing to do

797
00:33:12,605 --> 00:33:15,000
but let feelings get in the way.

798
00:33:31,474 --> 00:33:31,974
Daydreaming

799
00:33:33,795 --> 00:33:35,095
and gets me there.

800
00:33:40,035 --> 00:33:40,535
Darling

801
00:33:41,474 --> 00:33:41,974
day

802
00:33:43,714 --> 00:33:44,214
dreaming,

803
00:34:05,934 --> 00:34:08,355
May not have the best voice, but

804
00:34:08,655 --> 00:34:10,434
I could go pretty far.

805
00:34:11,889 --> 00:34:13,510
Sometimes I get an attitude

806
00:34:14,050 --> 00:34:16,389
that at least I try really hard.

807
00:34:17,809 --> 00:34:19,269
Sometimes I let emotions

808
00:34:21,010 --> 00:34:22,230
lead my mistakes.

809
00:34:24,050 --> 00:34:25,590
You know I love the ocean,

810
00:34:26,204 --> 00:34:28,625
think I'll sit you all day.

811
00:34:32,204 --> 00:34:33,265
Baby, Jimmy,

812
00:34:35,085 --> 00:34:36,224
gives me bye.

813
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:41,980
Dial them,

814
00:34:42,599 --> 00:34:43,099
they're

815
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:45,260
dreaming.

816
00:34:46,039 --> 00:34:47,340
Dial them, you know,

817
00:34:50,119 --> 00:34:51,019
I can't lie.

818
00:35:19,170 --> 00:35:19,670
Wow.

819
00:35:20,775 --> 00:35:21,275
Wow.

820
00:35:22,375 --> 00:35:23,454
Daydream by

821
00:35:23,894 --> 00:35:24,714
Get your

822
00:35:25,175 --> 00:35:25,675
back.

823
00:35:26,295 --> 00:35:28,474
Nick and Ray Martel

824
00:35:28,855 --> 00:35:29,514
with their

825
00:35:29,894 --> 00:35:33,434
family tree band found everywhere. We haven't been

826
00:35:34,054 --> 00:35:36,320
We We only have the, we only have,

827
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,160
one release out right now.

828
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,019
It's called Madness,

829
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,360
and probably, do that one next. Yeah. It

830
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,920
was written while watching Scooby Doo. Oh, and

831
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:46,820
was it muted?

832
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,119
It was muted while I was while I

833
00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:49,994
was writing it.

834
00:35:51,195 --> 00:35:53,675
The interesting thing is before I found Redwood

835
00:35:53,675 --> 00:35:55,535
Records, I was certain

836
00:35:55,835 --> 00:35:57,135
I was a reggae musician,

837
00:35:57,755 --> 00:36:00,235
and I was gonna sing reggae music. And

838
00:36:00,235 --> 00:36:02,954
how I found Redwood Records is I brought

839
00:36:02,954 --> 00:36:04,875
a whole bunch of tracks that had beats

840
00:36:04,875 --> 00:36:06,829
on them. I I was not playing guitar,

841
00:36:07,849 --> 00:36:10,410
and Madness was originally a reggae song. It

842
00:36:10,410 --> 00:36:12,650
did not turn out very well. I liked

843
00:36:12,650 --> 00:36:15,050
the lyrics. I liked the way that it

844
00:36:15,050 --> 00:36:15,789
was formulated.

845
00:36:16,250 --> 00:36:17,789
But with their incredible

846
00:36:18,410 --> 00:36:19,550
musician brains,

847
00:36:20,474 --> 00:36:22,235
they helped me and are still helping me

848
00:36:22,235 --> 00:36:24,815
with other reggae songs, transposing them to what

849
00:36:25,195 --> 00:36:26,494
I actually am.

850
00:36:27,755 --> 00:36:29,994
What some of you are not seeing is

851
00:36:29,994 --> 00:36:32,795
the expression on, well, particularly Jordan, your face

852
00:36:32,795 --> 00:36:35,035
when you're singing these songs and the the

853
00:36:35,035 --> 00:36:37,070
lips and the movement and your eyebrows,

854
00:36:38,570 --> 00:36:39,010
really

855
00:36:39,450 --> 00:36:42,570
Yep. I have no control over them. Yeah.

856
00:36:42,570 --> 00:36:44,970
Look at it on the video. Gigi, painted

857
00:36:44,970 --> 00:36:46,650
her eyebrows the other day and asked me

858
00:36:46,650 --> 00:36:48,090
how they looked. And I said, you look

859
00:36:48,090 --> 00:36:48,590
surprised.

860
00:36:51,494 --> 00:36:51,994
But

861
00:36:52,694 --> 00:36:54,934
the laughter and the good feelings and the

862
00:36:54,934 --> 00:36:57,434
vibes are here and you'll see them.

863
00:36:58,214 --> 00:37:00,375
Thank you, Michael Gorse again who will then

864
00:37:00,375 --> 00:37:02,694
be releasing this in the near future,

865
00:37:03,014 --> 00:37:03,835
with the KCIAW

866
00:37:04,214 --> 00:37:07,720
recording or podcast. So, alright. So Madness is

867
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:09,320
the next song. Right. I just wanna touch

868
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,039
a little Yeah. Something that, Jordan was talking

869
00:37:12,039 --> 00:37:14,039
about. She said she had all she brought

870
00:37:14,039 --> 00:37:15,980
these songs to us that she had written.

871
00:37:16,119 --> 00:37:18,599
Well, even before it was reggae, a lot

872
00:37:18,599 --> 00:37:20,039
of the stuff like she said she had

873
00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:21,674
written when she was a much younger,

874
00:37:21,974 --> 00:37:22,795
a young lady.

875
00:37:24,054 --> 00:37:25,994
And what's interesting about it is

876
00:37:26,375 --> 00:37:27,514
she wrote the music.

877
00:37:29,094 --> 00:37:32,394
Her guitar parts went along with her syllables

878
00:37:33,269 --> 00:37:35,130
of the song, of her lyrics.

879
00:37:35,590 --> 00:37:37,670
So there wasn't there was chords and there

880
00:37:37,670 --> 00:37:38,650
was chord changes,

881
00:37:39,110 --> 00:37:40,890
but nothing really was

882
00:37:41,269 --> 00:37:41,769
structural

883
00:37:42,469 --> 00:37:44,070
as far as, like, you know, this is

884
00:37:44,309 --> 00:37:46,724
yeah. This this this this bar is in

885
00:37:46,724 --> 00:37:48,324
four, then this bar is in eight, and

886
00:37:48,324 --> 00:37:49,844
then this bar is in seven, and and

887
00:37:49,844 --> 00:37:51,364
it it was kinda going back and forth

888
00:37:51,364 --> 00:37:53,284
like that. So somehow Nick and I had

889
00:37:53,284 --> 00:37:56,264
to try to normalize all of that. And

890
00:37:56,804 --> 00:37:58,105
They call it jazz.

891
00:38:00,839 --> 00:38:02,760
So so but, you know, I I will

892
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,679
I will I will definitely credit Jordan is

893
00:38:04,679 --> 00:38:05,900
that, you know, she actually

894
00:38:06,599 --> 00:38:07,099
took,

895
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,579
you know, thirty, twenty years of her

896
00:38:10,359 --> 00:38:10,859
music,

897
00:38:11,159 --> 00:38:14,234
how she only knew of it, and she

898
00:38:14,234 --> 00:38:16,954
was able to allow us to transform it

899
00:38:16,954 --> 00:38:19,034
into what it is now. Right. And there's

900
00:38:19,034 --> 00:38:21,114
a lot of trust in Right. Yeah. Her

901
00:38:21,114 --> 00:38:22,875
for she trusted Nick and I to be

902
00:38:22,875 --> 00:38:24,094
able to take her music,

903
00:38:24,795 --> 00:38:26,554
transform it into what you hear it now

904
00:38:26,554 --> 00:38:28,094
without losing any integrity

905
00:38:28,690 --> 00:38:30,849
and still having the message delivered. And, you

906
00:38:30,849 --> 00:38:32,849
know, I I that was it's it's that's

907
00:38:32,849 --> 00:38:34,369
why it's been taking us a while to

908
00:38:34,369 --> 00:38:35,190
be able to,

909
00:38:36,289 --> 00:38:38,369
actually hit the road or, you know, get

910
00:38:38,369 --> 00:38:39,969
out there. I mean, it's one thing to

911
00:38:39,969 --> 00:38:42,434
learn, you know, here here's 40 cover tunes.

912
00:38:42,434 --> 00:38:44,114
Learn them in an afternoon and go play.

913
00:38:44,114 --> 00:38:45,554
Sure. That's one thing to do that, but

914
00:38:45,554 --> 00:38:47,875
it's another thing to take art and to

915
00:38:47,875 --> 00:38:49,815
transform it back into art.

916
00:38:50,755 --> 00:38:52,835
Right. Right. And it's been amplified. It is

917
00:38:52,835 --> 00:38:55,760
near I mean, there are special occasions where

918
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,059
where I'll play solo,

919
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,780
but I'm like, I don't play solo anymore.

920
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,719
Right. Just because I'm so grateful and the

921
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,539
sound now is what I'm used to and

922
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,539
what I'm looking for when I'm playing.

923
00:39:08,765 --> 00:39:09,985
So you're playing the guitar.

924
00:39:10,844 --> 00:39:12,765
Ray is on the bass. That's a nice

925
00:39:12,765 --> 00:39:15,325
looking bass. It's a basic, It's an acoustic

926
00:39:15,325 --> 00:39:16,704
bass. Yeah. Acoustic bass.

927
00:39:17,005 --> 00:39:19,405
And somewhere, the the drummer guy there he

928
00:39:19,405 --> 00:39:19,905
is.

929
00:39:21,289 --> 00:39:22,969
He's in his little In the corner. Yeah.

930
00:39:22,969 --> 00:39:25,150
In the corner. Corner. I am.

931
00:39:25,929 --> 00:39:28,489
Alright. What's next? What's the next song? Madness.

932
00:39:28,489 --> 00:39:31,150
We're gonna sing Madness. This song is currently

933
00:39:31,210 --> 00:39:32,909
out on all streaming platforms.

934
00:39:33,530 --> 00:39:35,710

935
00:39:36,105 --> 00:39:36,605

937
00:39:39,545 --> 00:39:42,844
by Jordan Branch and the Holy tree. Sandwich.

938
00:39:43,065 --> 00:39:45,545
This is new. We've been practicing once a

939
00:39:45,545 --> 00:39:46,684
week electric,

940
00:39:47,065 --> 00:39:47,804
and so

941
00:39:48,279 --> 00:39:50,119

942
00:39:50,119 --> 00:39:52,039

943
00:39:52,039 --> 00:39:53,319
love. I'm I don't know. I can't speak

944
00:39:53,319 --> 00:39:55,099
for you guys. I don't love it.

945
00:39:57,319 --> 00:39:58,299
Alright. Madness

946
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,299
by the family tree.

947
00:40:00,855 --> 00:40:02,155
Is that right?

948
00:40:02,695 --> 00:40:04,164
Okay. Here I go.

949
00:40:18,609 --> 00:40:21,030
Don't listen to the zeros.

950
00:40:24,049 --> 00:40:25,190
Ain't no man

951
00:40:25,585 --> 00:40:26,965
to the squeeze.

952
00:40:29,905 --> 00:40:32,644
Bad luck mind in the glories.

953
00:40:35,664 --> 00:40:36,164
Hunger

954
00:40:36,465 --> 00:40:37,605
making me

955
00:40:38,385 --> 00:40:38,885
weak.

956
00:41:46,309 --> 00:41:47,210
Slow movements

957
00:41:48,230 --> 00:41:49,769
shadows on the way.

958
00:41:51,269 --> 00:41:51,769
Brothers

959
00:41:52,070 --> 00:41:52,965
gape me,

960
00:42:49,724 --> 00:42:50,224
Slow

961
00:42:51,244 --> 00:42:53,505
movement, shadows on the walls.

962
00:42:54,845 --> 00:42:58,704
Breath escapes me. My skin starts to grow.

963
00:43:00,045 --> 00:43:01,025
It's amazing

964
00:43:01,885 --> 00:43:03,425
the way the video

965
00:43:32,605 --> 00:43:33,105
Alright.

966
00:43:34,050 --> 00:43:34,550
Now

967
00:43:34,849 --> 00:43:35,489
Alright. So

968
00:43:36,289 --> 00:43:39,570
Excellent. And that's See the expressions on these

969
00:43:39,570 --> 00:43:41,430
artists that we have in here is amazing.

970
00:43:41,570 --> 00:43:44,050
Jordan, you're you're shivering your shoulders up and

971
00:43:44,050 --> 00:43:44,550
down.

972
00:43:45,809 --> 00:43:47,410
A little bit of a love and then

973
00:43:47,410 --> 00:43:49,345
a little bit scowl and then a little

974
00:43:49,345 --> 00:43:51,204
bit it's all Look feral.

975
00:43:52,625 --> 00:43:54,625
She said that right when she first walked

976
00:43:54,625 --> 00:43:56,625
in the she's the feral cat or something

977
00:43:56,625 --> 00:43:57,605
is loose now.

978
00:43:58,864 --> 00:44:00,385
Really, really good. Do we have two more

979
00:44:00,385 --> 00:44:01,920
songs? Do we have What's the other one?

980
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,960
Beast. Oh, the Beast. I think I remember.

981
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,559
Yeah. Then, well, after Beast, we had another

982
00:44:06,559 --> 00:44:08,079
one too. Right? Okay. And we Yeah. Oh,

983
00:44:08,079 --> 00:44:09,859
you got You got you got for about

984
00:44:10,159 --> 00:44:11,760
sixteen minutes. Yeah. So let's do it. So

985
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,920
the nest we heard this one the first,

986
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,508
time Yeah. Right? Called the Beast. Or it's

987
00:44:16,508 --> 00:44:17,114
The Beast Within?

988
00:44:18,055 --> 00:44:19,114
It's called Beast.

989
00:44:19,575 --> 00:44:20,394
I address

990
00:44:20,775 --> 00:44:22,535
it's kinda in in my mind when I

991
00:44:22,535 --> 00:44:23,275
wrote it,

992
00:44:23,974 --> 00:44:25,735
I pictured the two sides of me. So

993
00:44:25,735 --> 00:44:27,335
most of the time, with a lot of

994
00:44:27,335 --> 00:44:28,795
people that are super happy,

995
00:44:29,269 --> 00:44:32,170
they show everyone on the outside their happiness

996
00:44:32,469 --> 00:44:32,969
and

997
00:44:33,429 --> 00:44:36,150
sometimes amplify it to cover up feelings that

998
00:44:36,150 --> 00:44:38,329
they have inside that could be darker. So

999
00:44:38,630 --> 00:44:41,769
the song talks about my two wolves and

1000
00:44:41,829 --> 00:44:44,234
how I choose which one I'm gonna feed.

1001
00:44:44,534 --> 00:44:45,034
And

1002
00:44:45,494 --> 00:44:47,335
in the first half of the song, we're

1003
00:44:47,335 --> 00:44:49,195
gonna have a little bit of the dark

1004
00:44:49,414 --> 00:44:51,355
where I'm sluggish and

1005
00:44:51,655 --> 00:44:53,355
lethargic and struggling

1006
00:44:54,695 --> 00:44:56,775
to get past the barrier of my own

1007
00:44:56,775 --> 00:44:57,275
sadness.

1008
00:44:57,599 --> 00:44:59,760
And we're not gonna stay there long though

1009
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,000
because the second half, we're gonna see the

1010
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:02,500
light.

1011
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:03,700
And

1012
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:05,760
that's the one that we choose to prevail.

1013
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,360
And that's the wolf that we're feeding, and

1014
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,300
we feed every day. But it's a choice.

1015
00:45:09,695 --> 00:45:11,855
I remember videotaping this last year when you

1016
00:45:11,855 --> 00:45:13,934
were on By Yourself solo. Yeah. Today, you

1017
00:45:13,934 --> 00:45:16,414
now have your your band behind you, which

1018
00:45:16,414 --> 00:45:18,414
is can't wait to hear it. So The

1019
00:45:18,414 --> 00:45:18,914
Beast

1020
00:45:19,375 --> 00:45:21,135
by Jordan Brandt. How old were you when

1021
00:45:21,135 --> 00:45:23,269
you wrote it? I wrote this also in

1022
00:45:23,269 --> 00:45:24,949
my twenties. I think I got to a

1023
00:45:24,949 --> 00:45:25,750
certain point,

1024
00:45:26,469 --> 00:45:27,769
where I was

1025
00:45:28,150 --> 00:45:30,869
sick of struggling. Mhmm. And growing up the

1026
00:45:30,869 --> 00:45:32,230
way I did, I didn't have a lot

1027
00:45:32,230 --> 00:45:34,969
of support for people advocating for my wellness.

1028
00:45:35,155 --> 00:45:35,474
Right.

1029
00:45:35,954 --> 00:45:39,075
Luckily, I am a psychology major. So what

1030
00:45:39,075 --> 00:45:39,655
I couldn't

1031
00:45:40,914 --> 00:45:42,835
what I what I couldn't quite get when

1032
00:45:42,835 --> 00:45:45,875
I was a child, I pursued through therapy

1033
00:45:45,875 --> 00:45:46,535
and education.

1034
00:45:46,994 --> 00:45:47,894
And now,

1035
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,360
in a year and a half, I'll have

1036
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,599
my MSW, and I can start helping other

1037
00:45:52,599 --> 00:45:54,599
people Very cool. With their wellness as well.

1038
00:45:54,599 --> 00:45:57,500
Right. Cool. Wow. Good stories. Good vibes. Okay.

1039
00:45:57,559 --> 00:46:00,360
The Beast. Here we go. Gentlemen ladies and

1040
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:00,860
gentlemen.

1041
00:47:25,135 --> 00:47:26,355
Screaming I'm worthless.

1042
00:47:27,135 --> 00:47:28,994
Why do you even try?

1043
00:47:30,095 --> 00:47:32,494
But I plan on living these dreams the

1044
00:47:32,494 --> 00:47:34,275
other day that I die.

1045
00:47:35,454 --> 00:47:37,934
Yeah. I plan on living these dreams the

1046
00:47:37,934 --> 00:47:38,550
other day

1047
00:50:10,210 --> 00:50:11,349
Wow. Wow.

1048
00:50:11,730 --> 00:50:12,230
Beyond.

00:50:14,175 --> 00:50:17,235
Over the top. Over the top. Yeah. Good.

It's,

00:50:22,414 --> 00:50:23,795
it is a lot in here.

1054
00:50:24,255 --> 00:50:26,355
You gotta face me for radio. Good luck.

1055
00:50:26,655 --> 00:50:27,474

1070
00:51:02,900 --> 00:51:04,119
do you have recorded

1071
00:51:04,659 --> 00:51:05,159
altogether?

1072
00:51:05,619 --> 00:51:08,420
Recorded, we have two. We have one on

1073
00:51:08,420 --> 00:51:10,519
streaming platform with one upcoming.

1074
00:51:11,025 --> 00:51:11,924
I did record

1075
00:51:12,224 --> 00:51:13,045
three songs

1076
00:51:13,344 --> 00:51:15,844
before we were a band with Ray

1077
00:51:16,385 --> 00:51:17,125
and Greg.

1078
00:51:17,905 --> 00:51:20,304
Because the door is open. Nice. But,

1079
00:51:21,025 --> 00:51:23,699
we're hoping to do more soon. Yeah. And

1080
00:51:23,699 --> 00:51:25,619
there's also some a bunch of production work

1081
00:51:25,619 --> 00:51:27,619
that I did with Jordan when she first,

1082
00:51:28,099 --> 00:51:30,260
contacted me. She had a a a bunch

1083
00:51:30,260 --> 00:51:33,380
of, backing tracks Money. Many backing tracks that

1084
00:51:33,380 --> 00:51:35,960
were were, she purchased from, other

1085
00:51:37,155 --> 00:51:39,875
other other artists who put together backing tracks.

1086
00:51:39,875 --> 00:51:41,394
And she sang along to them. The majority

1087
00:51:41,394 --> 00:51:42,835
of them were were very gay, as she

1088
00:51:42,835 --> 00:51:44,594
was talking about. Yeah. So we do have

1089
00:51:44,755 --> 00:51:46,594
she does have some experience in the studio

1090
00:51:46,594 --> 00:51:48,434
with me. So we've been working together for

1091
00:51:48,434 --> 00:51:50,570
over a year now. Good. Good.

1092
00:51:50,950 --> 00:51:52,950
Good. Again, Redwood Records, you do so much

1093
00:51:52,950 --> 00:51:55,430
in our community, man. You're such a very,

1094
00:51:55,430 --> 00:51:57,150
very good man. Well, thank you. Appreciate it.

1095
00:51:57,269 --> 00:51:59,269
And Nick. Okay. We have can you get

1096
00:51:59,269 --> 00:52:00,869
the next one in seven minutes? Because we're

1097
00:52:00,869 --> 00:52:02,934
we're running against the clock. What what you

1098
00:52:02,934 --> 00:52:04,614
are? Is that what it is? What what

1099
00:52:04,614 --> 00:52:06,694
you are? What you are? Family truth. When

1100
00:52:06,694 --> 00:52:09,335
I was 14. Oh. I wrote it from

1101
00:52:09,335 --> 00:52:10,234
what I thought

1102
00:52:10,855 --> 00:52:12,534
other people thought of me. I struggled a

1103
00:52:12,534 --> 00:52:13,994
little bit of imposter syndrome.

1104
00:52:14,820 --> 00:52:18,180
Imposter Imposter syndrome. Syndrome. Okay. I tend to

1105
00:52:18,180 --> 00:52:18,680
think

1106
00:52:19,219 --> 00:52:21,300
people think less of me than they actually

1107
00:52:21,300 --> 00:52:21,800
do.

1108
00:52:23,460 --> 00:52:26,500
But logic versus emotion, I'm I'm aware now

1109
00:52:26,500 --> 00:52:29,035
why. But this song was written from the

1110
00:52:29,035 --> 00:52:30,635
point of view of what I thought other

1111
00:52:30,635 --> 00:52:32,555
kids in my high school thought about me.

1112
00:52:32,555 --> 00:52:33,855
Oh, jeez. Wow.

1113
00:52:34,635 --> 00:52:35,135
Indeed.

1114
00:52:35,515 --> 00:52:37,835
Alright. You guys ready? Monster know. What you

1115
00:52:37,835 --> 00:52:38,335
are.

1116
00:52:38,715 --> 00:52:40,635
What you are. What you are. What you

1117
00:52:40,635 --> 00:52:42,199
are. What you am. What's your am? I

1118
00:52:42,199 --> 00:52:43,980
am. I am that I am.

1119
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:45,260
Alright.

1120
00:53:04,135 --> 00:53:05,355
We are not friends

1121
00:53:05,815 --> 00:53:06,554
but you

1122
00:53:07,255 --> 00:53:08,155
stand alone.

1123
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,039
Wow, okay. Hi guys. If I could sum

1124
00:55:44,039 --> 00:55:45,019
up your songs,

1125
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,019
number one, be emotional.

1126
00:55:47,405 --> 00:55:48,144
You bring

1127
00:55:48,684 --> 00:55:51,804
emotion to music, which is so powerful, particularly

1128
00:55:51,804 --> 00:55:52,945
in radio, podcasting.

1129
00:55:53,565 --> 00:55:55,565
It it it is it makes a big

1130
00:55:55,565 --> 00:55:56,204
difference. You're

1131
00:55:56,925 --> 00:55:59,565
I can become invested in your sound, your

1132
00:55:59,565 --> 00:56:01,664
lyrics, just the whole emotional,

1133
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,400
thing that you admit. And you're backed by

1134
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,280
such incredible artists as Nick and Ray. I'm

1135
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,599
so lucky. Yeah. I mean, we both

1136
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,054
she resonates it. And then these guys just

1137
00:56:14,054 --> 00:56:15,894
pull it out and fine tune it and

1138
00:56:15,894 --> 00:56:17,494
polish it like you guys are really a

1139
00:56:17,494 --> 00:56:17,994
professional

1140
00:56:18,295 --> 00:56:18,795
trio.

1141
00:56:19,255 --> 00:56:21,494
I can't tell you enough that It's very

1142
00:56:21,494 --> 00:56:23,835
cool to watch and how you

1143
00:56:24,375 --> 00:56:26,570
play together, although I can't really see

1144
00:56:27,590 --> 00:56:29,269
you. Where did Nick go? Nick's hiding over

1145
00:56:29,269 --> 00:56:31,750
there. He's hiding behind the symbols. Oh my

1146
00:56:31,750 --> 00:56:33,430
god. Because he had to move so far

1147
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:35,590
away because it's a tiny studio. I'll give

1148
00:56:35,590 --> 00:56:37,690
a phone number here. (707)

1149
00:56:37,989 --> 00:56:40,155
460-3248.

1150
00:56:40,155 --> 00:56:41,775
One more time. (707)

1151
00:56:41,835 --> 00:56:45,035
460-3248.

1152
00:56:45,035 --> 00:56:46,255
And that is for

1153
00:56:46,555 --> 00:56:48,555
Redwood Records. That's for Redwood Records. Yes. Yeah.

1154
00:56:48,555 --> 00:56:50,815
And you And again, redwoodrecords.net.

1155
00:56:51,195 --> 00:56:52,875
Easy to get a hold of. Easy. On

1156
00:56:52,875 --> 00:56:53,695
Redwood Records

1157
00:56:54,210 --> 00:56:57,329
studios on Facebook, Jordan Branch or Jordan Branch

1158
00:56:57,329 --> 00:56:58,690
and the Family Tree. There's several ways to

1159
00:56:58,690 --> 00:57:00,070
get a hold of us. I do.

1160
00:57:00,530 --> 00:57:02,289
There's there's one thing I did wanna say.

1161
00:57:02,289 --> 00:57:02,609
It's it's,

1162
00:57:04,530 --> 00:57:05,670
when Nick and I,

1163
00:57:06,210 --> 00:57:07,429
invested in this project,

1164
00:57:08,275 --> 00:57:10,215
it was not our goal to

1165
00:57:10,675 --> 00:57:11,175
be,

1166
00:57:11,875 --> 00:57:13,655
flashy or any type of,

1167
00:57:15,394 --> 00:57:17,954
add anything to it. All we all our

1168
00:57:17,954 --> 00:57:20,514
goal was was to lift up Yeah. Jordan

1169
00:57:20,514 --> 00:57:22,434
and lift up what she does and lift

1170
00:57:22,434 --> 00:57:24,809
her voice. Right. To make her voice the

1171
00:57:24,809 --> 00:57:26,809
the cone on the ice cream. Right. And

1172
00:57:26,809 --> 00:57:28,889
and that was that was our goal. Because,

1173
00:57:28,889 --> 00:57:30,650
obviously, what Nick and I are doing here

1174
00:57:30,650 --> 00:57:32,489
is so much different than what you hear

1175
00:57:32,489 --> 00:57:34,409
us do in Black GTO Right. Or some

1176
00:57:34,409 --> 00:57:36,569
of our other stuff. Yeah. So so our

1177
00:57:36,569 --> 00:57:37,630
goal was to

1178
00:57:38,534 --> 00:57:40,795
present her in the best possible light.

1179
00:57:41,175 --> 00:57:43,094
And you deserve it. You deserve it so

1180
00:57:43,094 --> 00:57:46,054
well. And you will things great prosperity will

1181
00:57:46,054 --> 00:57:47,734
come to you, all of you. I think

1182
00:57:47,734 --> 00:57:50,295
she's really truly believe. Yeah. Yeah. There he

1183
00:57:50,295 --> 00:57:52,135
goes. I stopped singing often. Just I'm like,
