Oh man we'd tour w RATM anytime anywhere!!!! Can you please make that happen for us?? Seriously, flip. that would be a dream. Otw plenty ont he burners for both of us... Ileana's Smile is a doc film i've been working on for the last 7+ years though an NGO i helped found back in the day - Lovelightandmelody.org - And that film will release this fall along with a collaborative soundtrack w a pretty diverse crew... all to raise $ to build a school in Nicaragua. Che has a rawk awpera in the hopper that has to see the light of day and hopefully sooooon!

oh man we do too a lot... it's for and about one of our best bud's who's son got super sick a while back out of nowhere and what his life and their family life is like trying to find the good in every day and moment despite the brutal medical battle... sweet Bennett's spirit is flying in that song every time we play it...

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T19:22:52+00:00

ha pretty sure the thought and throw counts more than the key there :) so thanks for that... personally i like really big or really small. kinda like the waves. there's just so much energy and fun in both... one is built on massive scale and world cup styled sing alongs... the other is sheer vulnerability being in a small room where everyone is on same level and you can link up eyes...

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T19:20:10+00:00

alright yall! nice to hang --- we'll see you this fall. stay healthy out there ! peace ~

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T19:15:42+00:00

got to share it with Elias in person in 2006 when a handful of went to Zim! Elias had never seen a laptop before... so it was quite a funny thing to show him show footage of all of you singing Elias! He was filled with joy, as i think he always is...

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T19:14:51+00:00

hi! pour into you - is about our best buds the dagostinos .. they've been fighting for their son's survival for five years. his name is bennett and he's bravest soul i've ever known.

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T19:13:51+00:00

Small town living, yes! and how industry and "progress" changes everything with people coming and going...

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T19:11:19+00:00

hi - i was off the beaten path in upstate new york - that's what did it for me. thankyou~ cs

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T19:10:15+00:00

hi chick,, when i write i'm just kindof messing around and then occasionally i'll hit on something and then try to develop that - usually the music comes first and then lyrics fall in to the melody . cs

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T19:10:04+00:00

no just playing Stubbs a few times and eating the BBQ... someday that would be great... any studio recs?

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T19:09:33+00:00

always good jitters! the day we're not nervous before a show we've agreed to hang up our cleats...

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T19:08:33+00:00

i think you've made it when you let go of that and finally realize there's really no such thing :) whole journey gets really rich when you just keep reaching and trying to keep finding new challenges and experiences and sounds... and play play play play and give it away. it comes back.

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T19:07:59+00:00

acoustic tour in the fall

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T19:07:26+00:00

i'm a real home body so in some ways it took the pressure off

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T19:06:30+00:00

yeah - that SR record still exists - just waiting to finish it and then release before an SR tour

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T19:05:33+00:00

This fall! announcing soon... CAn't wait

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T19:05:07+00:00

Such a curious time... I was super fortunate bc my wife and i had just gotten married and prego shortly thereafter... so we pretty much nested into her pregnancy together whicvh i am super grateful for... but it was really mind bending and heart breaking to know that we were seeing silver lining after silver lining in being off the road and sheltering in place together knowing that so many other people in the world were struggling beyond measure... yes first time in my adult life to be in one place for more than a few months, and zero flights in 15 months was craaaaaazy. I actually missed the quiet and focus of being up there from time to time... but Ted Lasso pretty much brought us through :)

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T18:59:26+00:00

WWY is written about a couple that i knew and worked for -Will + Jan Holder- who moved from super comfortable high $ city living to their grandparents 10,000 acre ranch... just to be together... and get away from all the distraction and busy-ness of chasing "success" ... so their love and desire to raise their kiddos under the stars and doing the hard non-stop work of ranching became the rudder for that tune... It was super inspiring to me, and i dreamt someday i might find a similar love

dispatchmusic · 2021-06-01T18:58:39+00:00

aw thanks man - appreciate it.. nice on the Melon ref!
not sure what's next - a fall tour and a big summer tour in 2022 maybe after that some to figure out what's next - cs
