- 0:37SPEAKER_00: Where did you guys originally grow up?
- 0:39SPEAKER_00: Because I believe it's the North Fork, because I feel like I've met your father in the past.

- 0:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh, we're North Forkers, born and raised.

- 0:54SPEAKER_01: Our mom is uh an event planner, she runs a lot of cool fests.
- 0:58SPEAKER_01: Uh she actually has a bacon butter beer and bourbon fest uh first weekend in October.
- 1:03SPEAKER_01: And uh my dad got some booze for help out.
- 1:08SPEAKER_01: He is obsessed with you.
- 1:09SPEAKER_01: We actually listened to uh Breakfast with the Beatles Beatles.
- 1:13SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:14SPEAKER_02: He drove us to school every morning uh in high school and like Matic High School.
- 1:19SPEAKER_02: And Breakfast with the Beatles every single morning.
- 1:21SPEAKER_02: So that's pretty cool.
- 1:23SPEAKER_00: That's pretty funny.
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: Well, thank you.
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: It's very cool to talk to you guys.
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: It's cool to know that you're you do you're doing this project.
- 1:28SPEAKER_00: Auto wind.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: First, where did the name come from?
- 1:31SPEAKER_00: I'm curious.
- 1:32SPEAKER_01: So it means like the sound of music.
- 1:34SPEAKER_01: It's like audio wind.
- 1:36SPEAKER_01: Our mom actually came up with it.
- 1:37SPEAKER_01: We wanted a unique word, so we're the only thing that comes up, and it starts with the A.
- 1:43SPEAKER_01: So we're at the top of people's music library.
- 1:45SPEAKER_00: Well, I love that.
- 1:46SPEAKER_00: You grew up on the North Fork, and I was curious, what's the earliest memories of music in your house?
- 1:51SPEAKER_00: Kind of the the sound of the artist that you grew up hearing and kind of shaped you.
- 1:57SPEAKER_01: Well, our parents are always playing music everywhere all the time, all different kinds of music.
- 2:04SPEAKER_01: Like our first concerts were ACDC, KISS, and Jimmy Buffett.
- 2:09SPEAKER_01: Wow.
- 2:09SPEAKER_01: Sam actually in kindergarten, you know, when you bring like the stuffed animal and you're like, take it to school.
- 2:14SPEAKER_01: Sam brought it to a KISS concert.
- 2:17SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 2:17SPEAKER_01: Corduroy.
- 2:18SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 2:19SPEAKER_02: I remember I remember Big and Rich a lot.
- 2:23SPEAKER_02: Dad played.
- 2:24SPEAKER_02: Uh definitely ACDC, Johnny Cash.
- 2:27SPEAKER_02: Uh Day Breakfast with the Beatles, too.
- 2:29SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: All over the place.
- 2:32SPEAKER_00: No, that's great.
- 2:33SPEAKER_00: That gave you such a good uh foundation, I'd imagine, for what you guys were gonna do.
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: When did you each start thinking about doing music?
- 2:41SPEAKER_00: How old were you guys?
- 2:42SPEAKER_01: Um, I was nine.
- 2:44SPEAKER_01: I always like performing, getting up on stage, and then our elementary school was having a musical.
- 2:49SPEAKER_01: It was Beauty and the Beast.
- 2:50SPEAKER_01: I showed up to the audition, like fully dressed as Belle.
- 2:54SPEAKER_01: Um my mom was like, uh, I don't know, can you sing?
- 2:57SPEAKER_01: Let's hear what you got.
- 2:58SPEAKER_01: And then she was like, Sounds pretty good.
- 2:59SPEAKER_01: Get on up there.
- 3:01SPEAKER_01: And then Sam, when did you start?
- 3:04SPEAKER_02: Uh I kind of just was bored pretty much.
- 3:06SPEAKER_02: I saw a guitar.
- 3:08SPEAKER_02: I was like, you know, that's seems entertaining, and I thought it was fun.
- 3:12SPEAKER_02: So I kind of just, you know, I do what's fun to me, so uh I kept doing that.
- 3:17SPEAKER_02: And then Ben eventually, like he's like, they were playing singing.
- 3:22SPEAKER_02: I was doing nothing, and I was like, I'll play the drums.
- 3:24SPEAKER_01: And then we were all playing different songs in different rooms, and her mom was like, hey guys, what if you played the same song in the same room?
- 3:31SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 3:32SPEAKER_01: So the house doesn't sound like and then we've been playing together ever since.
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: What how old were you guys when the band started?
- 3:37SPEAKER_00: How long ago?
- 3:38SPEAKER_00: I I guess that should have.
- 3:40SPEAKER_02: Ben did the math.
- 3:40SPEAKER_02: I did 2015.
- 3:42SPEAKER_02: 2015.
- 3:43SPEAKER_02: So we were me and Sam were 11.
- 3:45SPEAKER_02: And I was 13.
- 3:47SPEAKER_00: Well, and now it makes sense because I've seen you guys have written like hundreds of songs, and now that I know you've been doing this together at the three of you for as a trio for over a decade, what's that been like to uh because you guys have been working together most of your lives uh on this project?
- 4:02SPEAKER_00: What's that like for each of you?
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: I'm curious uh to to see because this is your your foray into music.
- 4:09SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean, one, it's very convenient to be a sibling band because we're always together all the time, practicing, always there.
- 4:16SPEAKER_01: Um, and it's just really fun.
- 4:18SPEAKER_01: We're a really close family, so getting to travel everywhere and just always do stuff with each other, it's exactly what I've always wanted to do, and I'm pretty excited that it's actually happening.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: Out of curiosity, well, each of you obviously guitar, drums, singing, um, is there as far as the writing process goes, how does that work for your original music?
- 4:39SPEAKER_02: Uh well it's changed so much.
- 4:41SPEAKER_02: Uh, we really like to all write the songs together and have it as organic as possible.
- 4:47SPEAKER_02: So we want it, like I play drums, so I'm sitting at the drum, Sam's sitting at the guitar, Shelby at the bass, and and our mom actually helps the lyrics too.
- 4:57SPEAKER_02: So all four of us are in the room and try to create something as organically as possible.
- 5:03SPEAKER_02: And we just like try random stuff.
- 5:05SPEAKER_02: Whatever is entertaining and fun, and uh that's what usually sticks.
- 5:09SPEAKER_02: Try to bounce off of each other, you know.
- 5:11SPEAKER_02: Until it sounds like something you'd listen to, hopefully.
- 5:15SPEAKER_02: Something you wanna, something you're addicted to that you want to listen to over and over again, and then we'll keep it going.
- 5:20SPEAKER_00: Do you guys remember your first gig as a band?
- 5:22SPEAKER_00: I'm curious.
- 5:23SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, yes we do.
- 5:25SPEAKER_01: Um we played our family, has a lot of faith in us.
- 5:29SPEAKER_01: We played at uh the I Love Chocolate Fest, which was a festival that our mom ran, and she put us on as the headliner, and we were like not prepared and not good enough to be able to do that.
- 5:41SPEAKER_02: We we do 10 songs.
- 5:42SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we do 10 songs.
- 5:43SPEAKER_02: That was our goal to do 10 songs.
- 5:45SPEAKER_02: I don't know if we repeated any songs.
- 5:47SPEAKER_02: What was it?
- 5:48SPEAKER_02: Was it another one?
- 5:48SPEAKER_02: I don't think we didn't repeat.
- 5:49SPEAKER_02: I think it was 50 minutes, huh?
- 5:51SPEAKER_01: But then we played like years later, we had our first like three-hour gig, like the normal, like, oh, you're playing at a bar or restaurant type thing.
- 6:00SPEAKER_01: Uh, we played at um Osprey's Dominion, and we had a bunch of songs.
- 6:07SPEAKER_01: We didn't think anyone was gonna stay for the whole time.
- 6:10SPEAKER_01: Um, so we repeated songs.
- 6:12SPEAKER_01: This woman listened to us play Margaritaville like four times.
- 6:15SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 6:16SPEAKER_01: Now we don't do that.
- 6:17SPEAKER_01: No repeats at our show.
- 6:18SPEAKER_02: It was the originals now, too.
- 6:20SPEAKER_00: Well, you guys are are very busy, and it seems like from what I read, you guys really started to focus uh on putting music out during the quarantine, uh during the pandemic, and starting then uh and different streaming platforms you worked on, putting different uh singles out.
- 6:34SPEAKER_00: Uh what was that like for you when you finally I guess you had some time then to to put this whole thing together.
- 6:38SPEAKER_01: Sam's our producer, he's uh was an audio engineering major and he does it all.
- 6:43SPEAKER_02: I I do a lot of the engineering stuff, so we had uh, you know, I started just learning like the engineering stuff on YouTube, uh like a lot of people.
- 6:52SPEAKER_02: Uh but then I did go to school for it at Belmont.
- 6:54SPEAKER_02: Uh that was kind of like my major.
- 6:57SPEAKER_02: But yeah, I think during COVID we had a lot of free time, and I think for Christmas we finally got like some microphones and like an interface.
- 7:08SPEAKER_02: And Berkeley Online classes, too.
- 7:10SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, we took a Berkeley online class.
- 7:12SPEAKER_02: I did one on uh microphone techniques, just like just microphone techniques.
- 7:17SPEAKER_02: It was pretty good.
- 7:18SPEAKER_02: It was pretty good.
- 7:18SPEAKER_02: Uh a lot of time on our hands.
- 7:20SPEAKER_00: No, you both both you guys went to Belmont, right?
- 7:23SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 7:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 7:24SPEAKER_02: Back in Nashville.
- 7:25SPEAKER_00: What did you guys graduate?
- 7:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well congratulations.
- 7:28SPEAKER_00: Uh what did you guys both study?
- 7:29SPEAKER_00: Obviously engineering, but what what else?
- 7:31SPEAKER_02: Uh I studied commercial music with emphasis in uh songwriting and drums.
- 7:36SPEAKER_00: Oh wow.
- 7:37SPEAKER_00: So is it hard being the producer?
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: Uh Sam, you're the producer.
- 7:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 7:42SPEAKER_00: Is it difficult?
- 7:43SPEAKER_00: And I imagine it helps that you have your degree now.
- 7:46SPEAKER_00: Uh and they'll maybe listen to you more.
- 7:47SPEAKER_00: But what's that like working with your your siblings?
- 7:50SPEAKER_00: Because you do have uh kind of a nice background in that now.
- 7:53SPEAKER_00: What has that been like for you?
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: I'm curious.
- 7:55SPEAKER_02: I know I try to be less the producer and more just like the engineer, to be honest.
- 8:00SPEAKER_02: More just like, you know, I always set up all the mics, you know, do all the placements, you know, can you play something?
- 8:07SPEAKER_02: Listen to my headphones, all right.
- 8:09SPEAKER_02: We've got to tweak this microphone there, tilt it a little bit there.
- 8:12SPEAKER_02: Uh but when we're actually like writing, I kind of just, you know, in some ways we're all the producer in that sense.
- 8:19SPEAKER_02: But I'm the one hitting record, and you know.
- 8:23SPEAKER_00: I got it.
- 8:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, that's that's that's interesting.
- 8:25SPEAKER_00: So, all right, now when did you guys decide to move to Nashville?
- 8:28SPEAKER_00: Because you had been uh you've been there for the past couple years.
- 8:30SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, Ben and Sam, they heard about Belmont, then they were just like, this is the place, and then we kept going down to visit them, and we're like, uh, this place is awesome.
- 8:42SPEAKER_01: And then I graduated uh a year early, and then I did a semester at Belmont with them.
- 8:48SPEAKER_01: So then we all had an apartment down there, and then like everybody came down like once a month, and we lived on this street in Nashville where if anyone ever goes, this is the best street.
- 8:59SPEAKER_01: I know everyone talks about Broadway, but 12 South, the most fun.
- 9:03SPEAKER_01: We lived uh in this awesome apartment building that was uh above Jenny's ice cream, and it's just like Party Street, USA.
- 9:12SPEAKER_01: There's amazing restaurants and everything.
- 9:15SPEAKER_01: There's even a restaurant there, and one of the head chefs is a Long Islander, and it's like a famous restaurant now.
- 9:20SPEAKER_00: Now, when you move down there, how did the city kind of change your it had to affect your kind of your creative direction of the band?
- 9:27SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, I mean it definitely forced us to find our own unique sound.
- 9:32SPEAKER_02: Before that, we were kind of tiptoeing around it, but now we've so focused what our like creative direction is into this like country rock, hip-hop, um, almost futuristic but very old school kind of meld.
- 9:47SPEAKER_02: And so it just forced my drumming to be unique, Sam's guitar playing to be unique, Chubb's singing, I think it also like showed us like a lot of what the rules are, you know.
- 9:56SPEAKER_02: So now that we know the rules, we know like we can break them and stuff and stuff like that.
- 10:01SPEAKER_01: Also, being in a place where you're just so surrounded by music constantly, it's like it's different when we go out and we're the band, we're the entertainment for the night when you are like there, there's music pouring out of every single building, every single room.
- 10:16SPEAKER_01: Like if you just keep walking down a street, you'll hear eight different bands, and like uh in the apartment building parking lot, Sam like ran into Billy Gibbons of uh Z Z Top like three times.
- 10:30SPEAKER_01: He's got like a bunch of pictures with them.
- 10:32SPEAKER_02: I got a couple selfies.
- 10:33SPEAKER_00: No, that's so much fun.
- 10:34SPEAKER_00: And imagine it's elevated your work because you're you're down there and you're in this culture, um, and it has to really challenge you.
- 10:41SPEAKER_00: And and you've probably, I'd imagine it just elevates you and inspires you.
- 10:44SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's just like uh music pressure cooker, and you meet so many awesome people.
- 10:50SPEAKER_01: Like, um, I don't know if you've ever heard of Blessing Offer.
- 10:53SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but he is an amazing musician.
- 10:55SPEAKER_01: He lived two floors above us, so we ran into him all the time, and you just meet these people who are so talented, like we could hear him playing piano like through the vents, and then you run into them.
- 11:08SPEAKER_01: They're just these amazing, awesome people who are willing to help you, collaborate with you, and it's it's awesome.
- 11:14SPEAKER_00: What's it like to come back to the North Fork though after performing in Nashville?
- 11:17SPEAKER_00: Because uh it is it's very different here.
- 11:20SPEAKER_00: Um, but you in a way you get to use what you learn.
- 11:22SPEAKER_00: But what what what has that been like for you guys?
- 11:24SPEAKER_02: That's an interesting question.
- 11:26SPEAKER_02: Uh I like it.
- 11:28SPEAKER_01: This summer it's been especially awesome.
- 11:31SPEAKER_01: We consider ourselves like a coastal country rock band, so we love playing at all of the beaches.
- 11:36SPEAKER_01: Um, we just played at Cupsog Beach, we played at Cooper's Beach, we do a lot of like seaside stuff, like we play at Port Um Salts and just a lot of places on the water, which is a special experience you can only get on the east end of Long Island, and we have so many like local fans on Long Island now.
- 11:58SPEAKER_01: Like we were at a street fair and we got stopped the other day by people being like Otto End, which made our week.
- 12:04SPEAKER_01: That's um so yeah.
- 12:06SPEAKER_02: I I think Long Island's a great place for bands, actually, in particular.
- 12:10SPEAKER_02: Really good place for bands.
- 12:10SPEAKER_02: Like there's so many like venues, places to play.
- 12:15SPEAKER_02: What else is there?
- 12:16SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's just yeah, like this summer we played at the we played at Steven's Hawkhouse, which they're always willing to put like crazy new bands.
- 12:23SPEAKER_01: They really gave us a chance at the like start of our career.
- 12:26SPEAKER_01: Um, we just played at the bitter end in New York City.
- 12:29SPEAKER_01: There's a lot of band focus.
- 12:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah, instead of like solo focus, there's a lot of band focus, which we we like because you know has there been some bands you've worked with uh on Long Island that have kind of inspired you or mentored you?
- 12:42SPEAKER_02: There's a you know the band Twisted Sister.
- 12:44SPEAKER_00: Okay, yes.
- 12:45SPEAKER_02: Like we don't know the band, but I I read his book.
- 12:47SPEAKER_02: He came out with the book, The Guitarist, JJ French, and I read it all, took some million notes, and um Verr Long Island band.
- 12:55SPEAKER_02: I email him from time to time.
- 12:57SPEAKER_01: He emailed back, and um we also collaborate a lot with Cynthia Daniels, who's a producer in East Hampton.
- 13:04SPEAKER_01: She's a magical person.
- 13:06SPEAKER_01: The Sack Harbor Music Fest actually extremely pivotal thing in our career.
- 13:12SPEAKER_01: We won their 2021 Young Musicians Initiative.
- 13:17SPEAKER_01: Um we won uh overall performance and best band, and it totally like changed everything for us.
- 13:26SPEAKER_01: Since then, we've been playing all over.
- 13:28SPEAKER_01: They let us play.
- 13:29SPEAKER_01: We opened up the festival in 2021, and we got to meet Indie Eaton, who's another amazing local musician, and from winning that contest, we also got Cynthia produced a song for us, so we got to collaborate and she likes let Sam like work with her and produce everything.
- 13:49SPEAKER_01: That's cool.
- 13:50SPEAKER_01: And it was it was really cool.
- 13:51SPEAKER_00: That's a great experience.
- 13:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah, wow.
- 13:53SPEAKER_00: That that's and then now now how many years have you done the festival?
- 13:55SPEAKER_00: This is year number.
- 13:57SPEAKER_01: This is only year number two because it's been like the first week of college for all the other years.
- 14:03SPEAKER_00: That actually makes sense now they say that, yeah.
- 14:04SPEAKER_01: Kelly and Carrie are amazing, and they have invited us back every single year, and we've been like, we want to do it so bad, but it's move in day.
- 14:14SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm glad you're gonna be here this year.
- 14:15SPEAKER_00: What what do you guys look for when you put together the uh the the the scent list, I guess, for this?
- 14:20SPEAKER_00: Because it's a little different than a bar.
- 14:22SPEAKER_00: Um, it's a different type of festival, and I'm sure there's how long do you play for and and how do you decide what songs to pick?
- 14:28SPEAKER_01: I think we're playing, I want to say it's a 50-minute slot.
- 14:32SPEAKER_01: Um, and we really try to pick uh like a range of things.
- 14:39SPEAKER_01: So we always usually end with our song that's out everywhere.
- 14:42SPEAKER_01: It's called Truck Name Red.
- 14:43SPEAKER_01: That's like our ender, so we know that one's covered.
- 14:46SPEAKER_01: Um, and then we just try to have the audience have fun, make a move a little bit.
- 14:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and this will I mean this is a music festival.
- 14:55SPEAKER_02: It'll be all originals too.
- 14:56SPEAKER_02: So people are there to listen to the music.
- 14:58SPEAKER_02: So I guess we'll do more originals, obviously.
- 15:00SPEAKER_01: It'll be all originals.
- 15:01SPEAKER_02: All originals.
- 15:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 15:03SPEAKER_02: But uh now how does it work?
- 15:04SPEAKER_00: What are you guys working on now as far as because you guys are it's it's interesting to speak to a to a younger band that is because I have spoken to a lot of different um a lot of different generations uh that are performing at this festival, and you've got kind of the older sets that have been doing this a long time and aren't necessarily involved with social media and you know doing reels and stuff like that.
- 15:24SPEAKER_00: What has that been like for you guys?
- 15:25SPEAKER_00: How does how does that affect how you release music and what is your goals for for that?
- 15:31SPEAKER_00: Uh the plan, I guess, over the next couple months.
- 15:34SPEAKER_01: Well, social media is a really powerful tool.
- 15:37SPEAKER_01: It like gives us a space for our fans to connect with us and message us.
- 15:42SPEAKER_01: Um, even during shows, like people DM us things like, oh, can you play this original?
- 15:47SPEAKER_01: It's my favorite, or it's my birthday.
- 15:49SPEAKER_01: Can you please dedicate a song to this one?
- 15:51SPEAKER_01: And um, we're pretty active on TikTok.
- 15:54SPEAKER_01: Uh, we wrote a song for the uh America 250th anniversary.
- 16:00SPEAKER_01: It's called America 250.
- 16:02SPEAKER_01: And on 4th of July, I think it has like 500, over 500 people made a TikTok with it.
- 16:10SPEAKER_01: So it's a big spreader of music.
- 16:13SPEAKER_00: I did see you guys were booked.
- 16:14SPEAKER_00: I went over the site, and I think you're doing the World Cafe in in uh at XPN or at least in Philly.
- 16:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, we're going um World Cafe on October 17th, and then we're doing Whiskey Jam on October 19th.
- 16:29SPEAKER_00: No, it's kind of cool to see uh this band really from the beginning.
- 16:32SPEAKER_00: Over the past couple of years, you guys have put this whole thing together and getting a lot of uh a lot of cool attention recently.
- 16:37SPEAKER_00: Uh, where can people find you on social media?
- 16:39SPEAKER_00: And I'll link to all of this, but uh, you guys are on all the platforms.
- 16:43SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's at AutoWind on Everything.
- 16:46SPEAKER_01: So that's A-U-D-A-W-I-N-D.
- 16:48SPEAKER_00: One of the perks of a unique name.
- 16:50SPEAKER_00: That's that's for sure.
- 16:51SPEAKER_00: You don't have to worry about that, where it's AutoWind the Band or anything like that.
- 16:54SPEAKER_00: You're you guys are all set.
- 16:55SPEAKER_00: Thank you for taking the time.
- 16:56SPEAKER_00: I really appreciate it.
