Mo Pitney

... called Nashville, and that it's time to kinda get back to my roots.

So then we made the Pitney Mayer album in Johnny Cash's cabin just after that, and, uh, that kinda integrated us back into bluegrass festivals right as my kids are falling in love with music.

And now, um, Emily and I, um, right after the rollout of the album that we're currently releasing, which is called The Outskirts of Town, uh, a lyrical and strategic move on my part, and we could talk some about that, are intending to make more music together moving forward.

And, uh, possibly between the music we make together, which will be country folk bluegrass, and then Pitney Mayer just being a straight-ahead bluegrass, uh, group, we can kinda show up in country festivals, country bars, and also, um, bluegrass festivals and kinda have a wide net of places to play moving forward.

Cool.

So.

Yeah.

But then as far as the tour, having the band more... or the family, the band.

And of course, uh, that neo-traditional and that's the beautiful, beautiful thing about it is I feel like there's a resurfacing.

A lot of people have said that, you know, you look at like an artist like Mo Pitney, you look at, um, Randall King, um, and all these great artists josh ward texas country uh zach top the way he's been on fire too as of late uh let me ask you this why is neo-traditional in your mind i guess still around we knew it was always going to be around but now resurfacing again in nashville why are people so hungry for it

i think they're hungry for real music i think they're hungry for um something authentic i think in the world that we live in where everything's driven by ai and um you know, you look on social media, you can't tell if the video you just watched is real or fake.

You know, did that bear really do that? And did, you know, and with the scare of, you know, an AI artist getting number one on the radio.
