Barton DaviesGUEST
That one's kind of funny because it started out, I mean, the original idea for that song, I think William had back in like 2017 or Um, and it was like, it was about the same thing, like based on our buddy going through a really hard breakup.

Barton DaviesGUEST
Um, yeah, it was a bluegrass song and we took it to Sadler and we demoed it out and something just like, didn't quite feel right with like the grassiness underneath, like such a, like a deep message, like kind of dark message like that.

Barton DaviesGUEST
And so he has the superpower of stripping everything away and only keeping what the song is truly saying.

Troy MillettHOST
But were you guys getting into this for the sake of writing songs and hanging out with your pals after school? Or did you have grandiose dreams off the bat?

Barton DaviesGUEST
William and I, we met in English class in high school, and we were both kind of falling in love with bluegrass music at the same time and folk music stuff.

Barton DaviesGUEST
We jammed after class, and we started writing songs together, just very organically, naturally, like learned how to play music together and write together.

Jim BelisleHOST
So what brought about the change? Because a boy named Banjo, it tells so many stories in just a name.

Barton DaviesGUEST
yeah yeah no we still love the old name don't get me wrong we have just been a band for a very long time um that's going on 15 years and it kind of felt like we were plateauing a little bit around 2024 like I don't know.

Barton DaviesGUEST
You know, just touring, touring, touring, and kind of seeing the same results.

Jim BelisleHOST
Now, for what you guys have done over the last 15 years or so, are there moments in your careers that you're like, wow, I can't believe we did that? Or, you know, like, do you have that? I hate to put it this way, but do you have that imposter syndrome depending on where you are and what you're doing? Like, you know, as great as you guys are, like, you don't feel like you fit where you are? Does that make sense? Sure.
