Marc Preston: You know.

02:38 ,782 --> 00:02:40,547

Marc Preston: No, if you travel and that problem means

84

02:40 ,567 --> 00:02:41,049

Marc Preston: you're working.

85

02:41 ,109 --> 00:02:42,272

Marc Preston: If you're working, you're probably having

86

02:42 ,312 --> 00:02:43,456

Marc Preston: some fun, so that's a good thing.

87

02:43 ,596 --> 00:02:44,980

Marc Preston: Yes, sir, now you're a Pennsylvania guy.

88

02:46 ,151 --> 00:02:48,131

Marc Preston: Are you still in Pennsylvania or have you

89

02:48 ,172 --> 00:02:50,524

Marc Preston: made the move to Nashville, back and forth

90

02:50 ,544 --> 00:02:50,885

Marc Preston: between?

91

02:50 ,925 --> 00:02:52,650

Warren Zeiders: Pennsylvania and Nashville.

92

02:54 ,884 --> 00:02:57,129

Warren Zeiders: But speaking of Pennsylvania, that's where

93

02:57 ,149 --> 00:03:00,566

Warren Zeiders: the 717 comes from, so that's my area code.

94

03:01 ,060 --> 00:03:05,214

Warren Zeiders: So people think it's 717 or 717, but the

95

03:05 ,254 --> 00:03:06,960

Warren Zeiders: 717's where I grew up.

96

03:07 ,727 --> 00:03:09,000

Marc Preston: I was going to ask where that came from.

97

03:09 ,581 --> 00:03:12,810

Marc Preston: So thank you for beating me to the punch on

98

03:12 ,830 --> 00:03:13,150

Marc Preston: that one.

99

03:13 ,170 --> 00:03:15,422

Marc Preston: That's really cool, man, congratulations.

100

03:15 ,682 --> 00:03:18,305

Marc Preston: I've got so many questions for you today

101

03:18 ,345 --> 00:03:20,467

Marc Preston: because you're kind of one of the first

102

03:20 ,808 --> 00:03:24,171

Marc Preston: music acts, artists that I've had an

103

03:24 ,251 --> 00:03:26,574

Marc Preston: opportunity to speak with that has kind of

104

03:26 ,594 --> 00:03:28,977

Marc Preston: come up in this new era.

105

03:29 ,200 --> 00:03:31,546

Marc Preston: Well, I mean, for your generation guys, not

106

03:31 ,586 --> 00:03:33,710

Marc Preston: at all just then, but for your generation,

107

03:36 ,362 --> 00:03:38,364

Marc Preston: you know, with TikTok and Instagram and all

108

03:38 ,384 --> 00:03:39,986

Marc Preston: that, and you know, when I, back in the day,

109

03:40 ,006 --> 00:03:42,289

Marc Preston: when I was working, you know, when I worked

110

03:42 ,349 --> 00:03:46,614

Marc Preston: on the radio years ago, man, you just had

111

03:46 ,654 --> 00:03:46,794

Marc Preston: to.

112

03:47 ,234 --> 00:03:48,956

Marc Preston: You know, you didn't have the access to the

113

03:49 ,056 --> 00:03:50,118

Marc Preston: social media thing.

114

03:50 ,158 --> 00:03:51,780

Marc Preston: That just kind of makes life a little

115

03:51 ,840 --> 00:03:54,024

Marc Preston: easier and I actually think it makes the

116

03:54 ,085 --> 00:03:57,973

Marc Preston: opportunity for newer acts to show up on

117

03:57 ,993 --> 00:04:00,960

Marc Preston: the scene and kind of get noticed.

118

04:01 ,140 --> 00:04:03,466

Marc Preston: And TikTok worked out well for you, didn't

119

04:03 ,526 --> 00:04:03,586

Marc Preston: it?

120

04:03 ,787 --> 00:04:04,649

Marc Preston: It did, it did.

121

04:06 ,901 --> 00:04:10,247

Warren Zeiders: You know, I think personally myself, I

122

04:10 ,307 --> 00:04:14,554

Warren Zeiders: wouldn't go the route of saying easier, so

123

04:14 ,594 --> 00:04:17,306

Warren Zeiders: to speak I think we have more access to a

124

04:17 ,366 --> 00:04:19,190

Warren Zeiders: lot of people by the finger by our

125

04:19 ,211 --> 00:04:19,712

Warren Zeiders: fingertips.

126

04:20 ,020 --> 00:04:21,329

Marc Preston: Yeah, accessibility, yeah, that's

127

04:21 ,651 --> 00:04:24,111

Marc Preston: definitely accessibility, absolutely.

128

04:24 ,151 --> 00:04:26,382

Warren Zeiders: Accessibility yeah, I think accessibility

129

04:26 ,422 --> 00:04:29,287

Warren Zeiders: and I think the outreach is undeniable.

130

04:29 ,968 --> 00:04:32,773

Warren Zeiders: By the click of a button you have the

131

04:32 ,813 --> 00:04:34,901

Warren Zeiders: chance to reach millions and I think that

132

04:34 ,921 --> 00:04:36,464

Warren Zeiders: there's a lot of beauty in that and it's

133

04:36 ,524 --> 00:04:39,529

Warren Zeiders: given a lot of artists like myself a chance

134

04:40 ,210 --> 00:04:42,334

Warren Zeiders: and a voice to touch on that.

135

04:42 ,394 --> 00:04:45,848

Warren Zeiders: Really, you have that accessibility, but

136

04:45 ,908 --> 00:04:48,034

Warren Zeiders: it's not easy to, so to speak, because I

137

04:48 ,115 --> 00:04:50,000

Warren Zeiders: think that it does take hard work.

138

04:50 ,722 --> 00:04:52,227

Warren Zeiders: There's a lot of thought process into

139

04:52 ,308 --> 00:04:52,769

Warren Zeiders: everything.

140

04:54 ,146 --> 00:04:54,789

Marc Preston: Oh yeah.

141

04:54 ,849 --> 00:04:56,799

Marc Preston: Oh, definitely, there's where I probably

142

04:56 ,839 --> 00:04:58,466

Marc Preston: misspoke, yeah, when I said that it was

143

04:58 ,486 --> 00:04:58,606

Marc Preston: easy.

144

04:59 ,000 --> 00:05:00,446

Marc Preston: None is ever easy, especially.

145

05:01 ,000 --> 00:05:02,146

Marc Preston: No you're good, you're good, you're good,

146

05:03 ,521 --> 00:05:05,987

Marc Preston: especially for, like you know, comics on

147

05:06 ,007 --> 00:05:07,351

Marc Preston: the road or people.

148

05:07 ,371 --> 00:05:09,055

Marc Preston: You know, musicians getting rolling to say

149

05:09 ,075 --> 00:05:09,256

Marc Preston: there's.

150

05:09 ,416 --> 00:05:11,482

Marc Preston: There's a lot of hustle involved, there's

151

05:11 ,522 --> 00:05:13,521

Marc Preston: an understatement, but I think what's

152

05:13 ,581 --> 00:05:16,808

Marc Preston: amazing is that for this era, if you got

153

05:16 ,828 --> 00:05:18,711

Marc Preston: the skills, you got the chops, talent,

154

05:18 ,731 --> 00:05:21,691

Marc Preston: desire, man, the ability for you to carve

155

05:21 ,752 --> 00:05:23,000

Marc Preston: out your own space is kind of there.

156

05:23 ,221 --> 00:05:25,617

Marc Preston: But now I'm going to be honest, this is no

157

05:25 ,678 --> 00:05:26,000

Marc Preston: snobbery at all.

158

05:26 ,643 --> 00:05:29,213

Marc Preston: This is actually admiration for for the

159

05:27 Country Music in Pennsylvania

05:29 ,253 --> 00:05:30,980

Marc Preston: folks of Pennsylvania me being from Texas,

160

05:31 ,742 --> 00:05:33,910

Marc Preston: of course I recognize Nashville, another

161

05:33 ,950 --> 00:05:36,017

Marc Preston: country hub, and I know there are parts of

162

05:36 ,057 --> 00:05:37,000

Marc Preston: Mississippi and Alabama.

163

05:37 ,884 --> 00:05:39,591

Marc Preston: I never thought of Pennsylvania as being a

164

05:39 ,631 --> 00:05:41,559

Marc Preston: real hotbed for country.

165

05:42 ,161 --> 00:05:44,265

Marc Preston: You're sort of kind of like an ambassador

166

05:44 ,305 --> 00:05:45,748

Marc Preston: now and many of us like, oh really,

167

05:45 ,808 --> 00:05:47,191

Marc Preston: pennsylvania's got a country scene.

168

05:47 ,752 --> 00:05:50,963

Marc Preston: Was that your genre growing up?

169

05:51 ,164 --> 00:05:52,425

Marc Preston: Is it what you were listening to?

170

05:52 ,505 --> 00:05:54,088

Marc Preston: Is it what was always on the radio?

171

05:55 ,129 --> 00:05:55,470

Marc Preston: Was that?

172

05:55 ,910 --> 00:05:57,552

Marc Preston: Was country always your thing?

173

05:57 ,713 --> 00:06:00,882

Warren Zeiders: you know it's funny because my first time

174

06:00 ,923 --> 00:06:02,888

Warren Zeiders: down the Nashville a lot of people asked

175

06:03 ,049 --> 00:06:05,261

Warren Zeiders: the question Put it.

176

06:05 ,461 --> 00:06:06,904

Warren Zeiders: To put it this way where the hell did you

177

06:06 ,925 --> 00:06:08,448

Warren Zeiders: find a country, country, boy from

178

06:08 ,468 --> 00:06:09,149

Warren Zeiders: Pennsylvania?

179

06:09 ,390 --> 00:06:12,662

Warren Zeiders: And I'm like, okay, country doesn't just

180

06:12 ,722 --> 00:06:15,926

Warren Zeiders: exist down in the south, in Texas, in

181

06:15 ,966 --> 00:06:18,089

Warren Zeiders: Nashville and all these places.

182

06:18 ,630 --> 00:06:20,713

Warren Zeiders: There's country everywhere you go and you

Warren Zeiders: can find anywhere.

184

06:21 ,995 --> 00:06:24,321

Warren Zeiders: And I think that you know having those

185

06:24 ,361 --> 00:06:25,183

Warren Zeiders: conversations it's.

186

06:25 ,323 --> 00:06:27,566

Warren Zeiders: It's funny because people think of

187

06:28 ,188 --> 00:06:30,071

Warren Zeiders: Philadelphia and Pittsburgh but I'm like

188

06:30 ,171 --> 00:06:32,054

Warren Zeiders: outside of that it's nothing but country

189

06:32 ,114 --> 00:06:35,386

Warren Zeiders: land and I still in some some redneck stuff

190

06:35 ,666 --> 00:06:36,789

Warren Zeiders: growing up my entire life.

191

06:37 ,610 --> 00:06:40,676

Warren Zeiders: So yes, to answer your question, country

192

06:40 ,717 --> 00:06:42,360

Warren Zeiders: music was a huge part of my life growing up.

193

06:43 ,201 --> 00:06:45,205

Warren Zeiders: My grandparents listen to my mom had in the

194

06:45 ,245 --> 00:06:48,972

Warren Zeiders: house, but also on top of that I grew up in

195

06:48 ,991 --> 00:06:50,654

Warren Zeiders: church so I listen to a lot of Christian

196

06:50 ,695 --> 00:06:53,511

Warren Zeiders: music so I touch on a lot of that in my

197

06:53 ,571 --> 00:06:55,459

Warren Zeiders: song lyrics and stuff to when I'm writing

198

06:55 ,479 --> 00:06:55,640

Warren Zeiders: my music.

199

06:57 ,043 --> 00:06:58,686

Marc Preston: And also my dad was a huge rock and roll

200

06:58 ,706 --> 00:07:00,029

Marc Preston: guy like Garth Brooks.

201

07:00 ,129 --> 00:07:01,713

Marc Preston: Garth Brooks is big inspiration, I think,

202

07:01 ,753 --> 00:07:02,254

Marc Preston: is kiss.

203

07:02 ,434 --> 00:07:06,086

Marc Preston: You know, when I look at people, when that

204

07:06 ,146 --> 00:07:07,569

Marc Preston: enjoy country, it's not just that they're

205

07:07 ,609 --> 00:07:09,513

Marc Preston: living the lifestyle, it's just that

206

07:09 ,633 --> 00:07:10,915

Marc Preston: something resonates with them.

207

07:11 ,216 --> 00:07:12,979

Marc Preston: And I think that my daughter, emma, who's

208

07:13 ,000 --> 00:07:16,127

Marc Preston: 16, who Is you know, I'm sure she wishes

209

07:16 ,148 --> 00:07:17,692

Marc Preston: she was here right now so she can meet you.

210

07:18 ,825 --> 00:07:20,413

Marc Preston: She is the only one of my kids love, she

211

07:20 ,454 --> 00:07:20,936

Marc Preston: loves country.

212

07:20 ,956 --> 00:07:22,862

Marc Preston: I mean, she's very much a city girl, the

213

07:22 ,942 --> 00:07:24,284

Marc Preston: only one I think of her friend groups

214

07:24 ,424 --> 00:07:25,867

Marc Preston: really big in the country.

215

07:26 ,147 --> 00:07:28,070

Marc Preston: The thing about it is it's almost like an

216

07:28 ,170 --> 00:07:29,192

Marc Preston: aspirational thing.

217

07:29 ,232 --> 00:07:33,463

Marc Preston: You know it's stories, the lyrics Are they

218

07:33 ,543 --> 00:07:34,084

Marc Preston: yours?

219

07:34 ,445 --> 00:07:35,147

Marc Preston: For the most part?

220

07:35 ,187 --> 00:07:36,810

Marc Preston: Are you collaborating with somebody on the

221

07:36 ,911 --> 00:07:37,712

Marc Preston: on the song writing?

222

07:38 ,033 --> 00:07:41,847

Warren Zeiders: yes, so I do a lot of co-writes.

223

07:42 ,148 --> 00:07:43,895

Warren Zeiders: I think that that's when I do my best work,

224

07:44 ,116 --> 00:07:45,099

Warren Zeiders: because I'm working with really talented

225

07:45 ,119 --> 00:07:45,240

Warren Zeiders: people.

226

07:47 ,164 --> 00:07:50,351

Warren Zeiders: But also I'm a huge extrovert and I love

227

07:50 ,391 --> 00:07:55,287

Warren Zeiders: working with people and I think that you

228

07:55 ,327 --> 00:07:57,311

Warren Zeiders: know, whether it's my idea when I come to

229

07:57 ,331 --> 00:07:59,717

Warren Zeiders: the right, or if they have an idea and I

230

07:59 ,777 --> 00:08:00,378

Warren Zeiders: resonate with it.

231

08:00 ,418 --> 00:08:02,644

Warren Zeiders: I said this is definitely something that I

232

08:02 ,684 --> 00:08:04,268

Warren Zeiders: want to touch on or talk about, whether

233

08:04 ,328 --> 00:08:07,135

Warren Zeiders: it's a, it's a verse that they have, or if

234

08:07 ,195 --> 00:08:08,177

Warren Zeiders: it's just a song title, and I'm like that's

235

08:08 ,197 --> 00:08:09,039

Warren Zeiders: definitely something that I think that I

236

08:09 ,060 --> 00:08:12,909

Warren Zeiders: should be Putting out there for my fans to

237

08:12 ,949 --> 00:08:13,210

Warren Zeiders: hear.

238

08:13 ,450 --> 00:08:18,330

Warren Zeiders: But yeah, man, I kind of like what you said

239

08:18 ,350 --> 00:08:19,835

Warren Zeiders: about the whole, the whole country thing

240

08:20 ,237 --> 00:08:24,366

Warren Zeiders: and Garth Brooks is, I guess, influence you

241

08:24 ,386 --> 00:08:24,987

Warren Zeiders: said was kiss.

242

08:25 ,569 --> 00:08:27,793

Warren Zeiders: I think that it's funny because you said

243

08:27 ,813 --> 00:08:29,597

Warren Zeiders: you're you know your daughter's kind of a

244

08:29 ,777 --> 00:08:30,979

Warren Zeiders: city girl and she's a country fan.

245

08:31 ,000 --> 00:08:33,531

Warren Zeiders: I think that the thing for me really

246

08:33 ,813 --> 00:08:34,898

Warren Zeiders: finding out, you know, kind of getting to

247

08:34 ,918 --> 00:08:38,328

Warren Zeiders: this whole scene, there's a lot of love,

248

08:38 ,548 --> 00:08:39,330

Warren Zeiders: there's a lot of hate.

249

08:39 ,491 --> 00:08:40,894

Warren Zeiders: You know, everyone's got their own opinions

250

08:41 ,034 --> 00:08:42,498

Warren Zeiders: and everything like that and on how they

251

08:42 ,538 --> 00:08:44,603

Warren Zeiders: view the whole country scene and more or

252

08:44 ,623 --> 00:08:46,446

Warren Zeiders: less for me, one of my favorite comments

253

08:46 ,567 --> 00:08:48,631

Warren Zeiders: that I get on my videos and people who talk

254

08:48 ,651 --> 00:08:50,815

Warren Zeiders: about my music is a lot of people who say

255

08:50 ,835 --> 00:08:52,038

Warren Zeiders: that they're not even country fans.

256

08:52 ,138 --> 00:08:53,200

Warren Zeiders: They just kind of like my music.

257

08:54 ,022 --> 00:08:55,747

Warren Zeiders: I think it's cool because I'm able to

258

08:56 ,610 --> 00:08:59,017

Warren Zeiders: dabble in these Marcets and find these

259

08:59 ,077 --> 00:09:00,140

Warren Zeiders: people who might have not been once country

260

09:00 ,160 --> 00:09:04,787

Warren Zeiders: fans, but now they're kind of interested

261

09:04 ,907 --> 00:09:05,508

Warren Zeiders: and I think that's.

262

09:05 ,708 --> 00:09:07,351

Warren Zeiders: There's a lot of beauty to that to just

263

09:08 ,372 --> 00:09:10,816

Warren Zeiders: show people a new genre and kind of bring

264

09:10 ,836 --> 00:09:13,220

Warren Zeiders: them into a new type of music and new style.

265

09:14 ,443 --> 00:09:17,249

Marc Preston: The songs you know on the 717 tapes, and I

266

09:17 ,309 --> 00:09:19,073

Marc Preston: like the fact you use the word tapes.

267

09:19 ,835 --> 00:09:21,378

Marc Preston: The irony is you certainly didn't grow up

268

09:21 ,398 --> 00:09:22,240

Marc Preston: in that era with cassette tapes, you know.

269

09:24 ,604 --> 00:09:25,144

Marc Preston: But you know.

270

09:25 ,185 --> 00:09:26,487

Marc Preston: Thank you for tipping the hat to those old

271

09:26 ,527 --> 00:09:28,169

Marc Preston: people when you're sitting down writing the

272

09:28 ,209 --> 00:09:28,610

Marc Preston: songs.

273

09:29 ,071 --> 00:09:31,134

Marc Preston: I have always been curious is it the, is

274

09:31 ,174 --> 00:09:33,517

Marc Preston: the lyric, or is it the melody that you

275

09:33 ,557 --> 00:09:34,138

Marc Preston: come up with?

276

09:34 ,218 --> 00:09:35,240

Marc Preston: That really is a genesis of the song.

277

09:35 ,581 --> 00:09:36,324

Marc Preston: You know what I mean.

278

09:36 ,364 --> 00:09:37,608

Marc Preston: Is it the story you're coming up with or

279

09:37 ,628 --> 00:09:37,969

Marc Preston: are you just?

280

09:38 ,471 --> 00:09:39,916

Marc Preston: They're kind of noodling on the guitar and

281

09:39 ,936 --> 00:09:40,076

Marc Preston: going.

282

09:40 ,237 --> 00:09:41,140

Marc Preston: You know, I got a song idea.

283

09:41 ,160 --> 00:09:42,161

Marc Preston: Now you know.

284

09:42 ,341 --> 00:09:45,145

Warren Zeiders: So to touch on the 717 tapes and a fun

285

09:45 ,165 --> 00:09:45,566

Warren Zeiders: story.

286

09:46 Creating “Ride a Lightning”

09:46 ,247 --> 00:09:49,151

Warren Zeiders: So ride the lightning was only the second

287

09:49 ,211 --> 00:09:52,215

Warren Zeiders: song I've ever written in my life and I was

288

09:52 ,255 --> 00:09:56,584

Warren Zeiders: my first time being in Nashville and it was

289

09:56 ,624 --> 00:09:57,145

Warren Zeiders: a co-write.

290

09:57 ,225 --> 00:09:59,749

Warren Zeiders: It was over zoom and it was with Eric

291

09:59 ,769 --> 00:10:00,951

Warren Zeiders: Pazley and Rob Crosby.

292

10:01 ,272 --> 00:10:05,298

Warren Zeiders: And Eric Pazley was someone who I really

293

10:05 ,318 --> 00:10:06,020

Warren Zeiders: looked up to.

294

10:07 ,082 --> 00:10:09,047

Warren Zeiders: I loved a lot of his music as an artist and

295

10:09 ,087 --> 00:10:10,591

Warren Zeiders: I know he's done really great work writing

296

10:10 ,651 --> 00:10:11,433

Warren Zeiders: for others as well.

297

10:12 ,761 --> 00:10:14,266

Warren Zeiders: So there was definitely some nerves there

298

10:14 ,466 --> 00:10:18,157

Warren Zeiders: going into that position as the newbie in

299

10:18 ,197 --> 00:10:19,220

Warren Zeiders: town, you know it being your first time,

300

10:21 ,182 --> 00:10:23,424

Warren Zeiders: but you know, I think for me, I think a

301

10:23 ,464 --> 00:10:26,507

Warren Zeiders: melody speaks a lot to me too, and you know

302

10:26 ,567 --> 00:10:28,929

Warren Zeiders: I have a lot of rock and roll influence in

303

10:28 ,949 --> 00:10:31,892

Warren Zeiders: my music and you know I kind of like those

304

10:32 ,653 --> 00:10:35,676

Warren Zeiders: more gritty, darker kind of melodies, so to

305

10:35 ,716 --> 00:10:37,637

Warren Zeiders: speak, the darker chords and more minor

306

10:37 ,657 --> 00:10:38,138

Warren Zeiders: records.

307

10:39 ,924 --> 00:10:41,788

Warren Zeiders: So whether it's a melody or it's a song

308

10:41 ,808 --> 00:10:45,436

Warren Zeiders: title, but I think I can't remember I don't

309

10:45 ,456 --> 00:10:46,538

Warren Zeiders: want to take credit for it because I love

310

10:46 ,558 --> 00:10:48,522

Warren Zeiders: to get credit where credit is due I can't

311

10:48 ,542 --> 00:10:50,927

Warren Zeiders: remember if it was Eric or Rob, but someone

312

10:50 ,947 --> 00:10:52,670

Warren Zeiders: throughout the song title Ride a Lightning,

313

10:52 ,750 --> 00:10:54,954

Warren Zeiders: and I was like that is, that's a really

314

10:54 ,994 --> 00:10:57,923

Warren Zeiders: cool idea and what we did was we

315

10:58 ,003 --> 00:11:01,250

Warren Zeiders: piggybacked that idea off of the first song

316

11:01 ,290 --> 00:11:03,434

Warren Zeiders: I wrote and recorded in my bedroom on the

317

11:03 ,514 --> 00:11:03,715

Warren Zeiders: run.

318

11:04 ,761 --> 00:11:06,506

Warren Zeiders: So if you listen to that song yet too, or

319

11:06 ,547 --> 00:11:09,535

Warren Zeiders: listen to lyrics, it's kind of a my version

320

11:09 ,555 --> 00:11:11,240

Warren Zeiders: of a murder ballad in a sense.

321

11:12 ,022 --> 00:11:16,150

Warren Zeiders: But you know that song Ride a Lightning has

322

11:16 ,230 --> 00:11:19,015

Warren Zeiders: transcended so much off of a simple line.

323

11:19 ,480 --> 00:11:21,124

Warren Zeiders: Mama always said I was born on the wild

324

11:21 ,164 --> 00:11:24,370

Warren Zeiders: side because you know, I wasn't daredevil

325

11:24 ,410 --> 00:11:25,953

Warren Zeiders: growing up I never knew my limits.

326

11:26 ,280 --> 00:11:27,641

Warren Zeiders: I was getting hurt, whether it was broken

327

11:27 ,661 --> 00:11:29,603

Warren Zeiders: collar bones, broken arms, you know, fall

328

11:29 ,624 --> 00:11:32,166

Warren Zeiders: out of trees and getting impaled by sticks,

329

11:32 ,266 --> 00:11:34,929

Warren Zeiders: like I've had my fair share of injuries.

330

11:35 ,209 --> 00:11:39,414

Warren Zeiders: But you know I grew up just just doing a

331

11:39 ,434 --> 00:11:41,676

Warren Zeiders: bunch of bunch of crazy, crazy and dumb

332

11:41 ,696 --> 00:11:41,896

Warren Zeiders: yeah.

333

11:42 ,400 --> 00:11:45,427

Marc Preston: What was the kind of the track you're on?

334

11:45 ,567 --> 00:11:47,832

Marc Preston: Or was it like, ok, I'm going to do music.

335

11:47 ,872 --> 00:11:49,175

Marc Preston: Is that something that was always on your

336

11:49 ,215 --> 00:11:49,556

Marc Preston: mind?

337

11:49 ,636 --> 00:11:51,200

Marc Preston: Or was just like as something I do for fun?

338

11:52 ,164 --> 00:11:53,650

Marc Preston: Or was it something that you decided is

339

11:53 ,670 --> 00:11:55,617

Marc Preston: like, ok, this is not just for fun, this is

340

11:55 ,658 --> 00:11:56,220

Marc Preston: going to be a passion.

341

11:56 ,501 --> 00:11:57,785

Marc Preston: I want to see where I can take this thing

342

11:58 ,929 --> 00:11:59,972

Marc Preston: to answer that question.

343

12:00 ,340 --> 00:12:02,027

Warren Zeiders: So, like I said, I did grow up in church.

344

12:03 ,902 --> 00:12:05,305

Warren Zeiders: That's kind of where I found my love for

345

12:05 ,365 --> 00:12:05,686

Warren Zeiders: music.

346

12:06 ,268 --> 00:12:07,932

Warren Zeiders: I was never in the church band, never in

347

12:07 ,952 --> 00:12:10,684

Warren Zeiders: the church choir, I just merely had a love

348

12:10 ,804 --> 00:12:14,682

Warren Zeiders: for singing in the church pews and that's

349

12:14 ,722 --> 00:12:16,330

Warren Zeiders: kind of where I found my love of.

350

12:16 ,913 --> 00:12:18,220

Warren Zeiders: That's how I really connected with my faith

351

12:19 ,223 --> 00:12:20,849

Warren Zeiders: and then it started to sprinkle into other

352

12:20 ,909 --> 00:12:22,795

Warren Zeiders: things in my life that I found, whether it

353

12:22 ,835 --> 00:12:24,240

Warren Zeiders: was Christian music or rock and roll.

354

12:25 ,002 --> 00:12:27,551

Warren Zeiders: I really found that music allowed me to

355

12:27 ,611 --> 00:12:29,237

Warren Zeiders: feel a lot of things and that's how I

356

12:29 ,277 --> 00:12:30,240

Warren Zeiders: connected with a lot of things.

357

12:30 ,622 --> 00:12:33,240

Warren Zeiders: So my entire life I was an athlete.

358

12:33 ,806 --> 00:12:35,179

Warren Zeiders: So I played lacrosse for 12 years.

359

12:36 ,023 --> 00:12:39,643

Warren Zeiders: I ended up going to college to play, but

360

12:39 ,683 --> 00:12:41,587

Warren Zeiders: before that I picked up a guitar in sixth

361

12:41 ,627 --> 00:12:44,293

Warren Zeiders: grade and it was something that I just kind

362

12:44 ,374 --> 00:12:46,458

Warren Zeiders: of, you know I was like this could be cool

363

12:46 ,478 --> 00:12:49,588

Warren Zeiders: to pick up and in the joy I like music and

364

12:50 ,049 --> 00:12:52,156

Warren Zeiders: you know, guitar is the instrument that the

365

12:52 ,217 --> 00:12:53,240

Warren Zeiders: ladies seem to like the most.

366

12:53 ,461 --> 00:12:54,871

Warren Zeiders: If you can sing, a, play guitar, the ladies

367

12:54 ,911 --> 00:12:56,200

Warren Zeiders: are normally interested.

368

12:56 ,460 --> 00:13:00,670

Warren Zeiders: So so I went to guitar player route and it

369

13:00 ,690 --> 00:13:03,801

Warren Zeiders: was something I did on the side, learned

370

13:04 ,864 --> 00:13:06,808

Warren Zeiders: how to play through YouTube and stuff when

371

13:06 ,848 --> 00:13:08,712

Warren Zeiders: I had a chance, because I played lacrosse

372

13:08 ,832 --> 00:13:11,977

Warren Zeiders: all year round and I was fully committed to

373

13:11 ,998 --> 00:13:12,200

Warren Zeiders: my sports.

374

13:14 ,551 --> 00:13:17,573

Warren Zeiders: Fast forward my freshman year college, I

375

13:17 ,593 --> 00:13:18,179

Warren Zeiders: had two concussions.

376

13:20 ,486 --> 00:13:23,333

Warren Zeiders: So I had some really some thinking to do

377

13:23 ,373 --> 00:13:24,977

Warren Zeiders: because I ended up being my seventh total

378

13:25 ,197 --> 00:13:26,059

Warren Zeiders: over the span of 12 years.

379

13:28 ,612 --> 00:13:29,938

Warren Zeiders: So I had some like you've had seven

380

13:29 ,959 --> 00:13:30,220

Warren Zeiders: concussions.

381

13:30 ,763 --> 00:13:32,793

Marc Preston: Yeah, not all major, but you've just been

382

13:32 ,833 --> 00:13:34,059

Marc Preston: born to make your mother worry.

383

13:34 ,079 --> 00:13:36,777

Marc Preston: Oh, yeah, oh yeah for sure.

384

13:37 ,381 --> 00:13:40,657

Warren Zeiders: But yeah, I've been, I've been a little bit

385

13:40 ,677 --> 00:13:41,200

Warren Zeiders: more into the music.

386

13:41 ,240 --> 00:13:41,581

Warren Zeiders: I've been.

387

13:41 ,782 --> 00:13:43,762

Warren Zeiders: I've been beaten, I've been bruised pretty

388

13:43 ,802 --> 00:13:44,907

Warren Zeiders: good from playing lacrosse.

389

13:46 ,764 --> 00:13:48,750

Warren Zeiders: But you know, everything happens for a

390

13:48 ,790 --> 00:13:49,011

Warren Zeiders: reason.

391

13:49 ,280 --> 00:13:49,721

Warren Zeiders: I believe in it.

392

13:57 ,334 --> 00:14:02,681

Warren Zeiders: So, fast forward, covid comes around and I

393

14:02 ,701 --> 00:14:05,906

Warren Zeiders: had just given up something that I pretty

394

14:05 ,946 --> 00:14:07,174

Warren Zeiders: much identified with.

395

14:07 ,530 --> 00:14:09,595

Warren Zeiders: I did it for so long that it became a part

396

14:09 ,615 --> 00:14:14,755

Warren Zeiders: of myself and I was kind of like, okay, so

397

14:14 ,795 --> 00:14:16,259

Warren Zeiders: what's the next step for me in life?

398

14:17 ,870 --> 00:14:20,316

Warren Zeiders: And COVID comes and we all like we can't do

399

14:20 ,336 --> 00:14:21,620

Warren Zeiders: it, we can't do anything, we can't go

400

14:21 ,660 --> 00:14:22,001

Warren Zeiders: anywhere.

401

14:22 ,450 --> 00:14:27,222

Warren Zeiders: So I started to go back to the guitar and

402

14:27 ,283 --> 00:14:29,809

Warren Zeiders: singing, which I was always doing, just

403

14:29 ,929 --> 00:14:33,018

Warren Zeiders: never, like never really putting myself out

404

14:33 ,058 --> 00:14:35,093

Warren Zeiders: there, and I just was.

405

14:35 ,234 --> 00:14:36,642

Warren Zeiders: You know, one day I was like you know what,

406

14:37 ,105 --> 00:14:38,672

Warren Zeiders: maybe I'll start throwing some stuff up on,

407

14:38 ,832 --> 00:14:41,258

Warren Zeiders: you know, instagram, tiktok and YouTube

408

14:41 ,298 --> 00:14:43,931

Warren Zeiders: just for fun, just to, you know, kind of do

409

14:43 ,991 --> 00:14:45,697

Warren Zeiders: something, kind of connect with people.

410

14:46 ,770 --> 00:14:50,318

Warren Zeiders: So I did that, and little did I know that

411

14:50 ,378 --> 00:14:52,021

Warren Zeiders: it would lead to this.

412

14:52 Discovering Music Passion Without Familial Influence

14:52 ,082 --> 00:14:54,375

Marc Preston: A year later, Let me, let me think on the

413

14:54 ,415 --> 00:14:56,711

Marc Preston: top of your right there, the fact you said

414

14:56 ,812 --> 00:15:00,560

Marc Preston: a year later that that it's a trip, because

415

15:00 ,580 --> 00:15:02,304

Marc Preston: I'm going to go back to my radio days, man,

416

15:02 ,370 --> 00:15:04,616

Marc Preston: I remember when people the hustle man going

417

15:04 ,676 --> 00:15:06,501

Marc Preston: radio station, radio station, radio station,

418

15:06 ,810 --> 00:15:09,658

Marc Preston: the artists who were trying to get airplay,

419

15:09 ,778 --> 00:15:10,982

Marc Preston: and it could be a beat down.

420

15:11 ,130 --> 00:15:11,973

Marc Preston: You don't know what city you're in

421

15:12 ,053 --> 00:15:15,054

Marc Preston: sometimes, and this is going on for a long

422

15:15 ,115 --> 00:15:16,218

Marc Preston: time, but you're saying a year.

423

15:17 ,090 --> 00:15:18,915

Marc Preston: I think this is a good example of like

424

15:18 ,975 --> 00:15:21,441

Marc Preston: cream can rise to the top, and this era was

425

15:21 ,461 --> 00:15:23,436

Marc Preston: social media in a way that it never has

426

15:23 ,496 --> 00:15:24,792

Marc Preston: been able to before, and I think that's

427

15:24 ,932 --> 00:15:25,394

Marc Preston: very cool.

428

15:25 ,890 --> 00:15:26,712

Marc Preston: And I'm not just saying that because of

429

15:26 ,732 --> 00:15:28,417

Marc Preston: you're with me, of course, right now.

430

15:28 ,557 --> 00:15:32,637

Marc Preston: But listening to your album, everything,

431

15:32 ,678 --> 00:15:34,311

Marc Preston: man, everything I'm going through I'm like

432

15:34 ,331 --> 00:15:36,211

Marc Preston: man, it's got a little different vibe, it's

433

15:36 ,232 --> 00:15:37,146

Marc Preston: got a little different story.

434

15:37 ,551 --> 00:15:40,363

Marc Preston: It's rare that I listen to an artist and go,

435

15:40 ,403 --> 00:15:42,050

Marc Preston: wow, okay, I want to know what else they're

436

15:42 ,110 --> 00:15:43,033

15:48 ,960 --> 00:15:50,433

Marc Preston: their vote, your parents' vocation, and

441

15:50 ,533 --> 00:15:51,135

Marc Preston: stuff like that.

442

15:53 ,510 --> 00:15:55,657

Warren Zeiders: No musical background whatsoever.

443

15:55 ,697 --> 00:16:00,400

Warren Zeiders: My friend, I think that no one was ever

444

16:00 ,440 --> 00:16:01,142

Warren Zeiders: really a singer.

445

16:01 ,550 --> 00:16:04,856

Warren Zeiders: My dad could carry a semi tune, I guess,

446

16:05 ,117 --> 00:16:07,742

Warren Zeiders: singing in church, but there was no one

447

16:07 ,822 --> 00:16:09,652

Warren Zeiders: ever who played instruments.

448

16:10 ,374 --> 00:16:12,640

Warren Zeiders: No grandparents, actually.

449

16:12 ,700 --> 00:16:13,262

Warren Zeiders: My grandfather played bass guitar, but no

451

16:16 ,078 --> 00:16:16,660

Warren Zeiders: one was ever.

452

16:17 ,803 --> 00:16:20,531

Warren Zeiders: You know, no one was ever pushing music

453

16:20 ,651 --> 00:16:24,040

Warren Zeiders: onto me in the sense of oh hey, you know I

454

16:24 ,080 --> 00:16:24,642

Warren Zeiders: played guitar.

455

16:24 ,810 --> 00:16:26,416

Warren Zeiders: I did this, like you know, you want to try

456

16:26 ,437 --> 00:16:26,718

Warren Zeiders: it out.

457

16:26 ,890 --> 00:16:28,294

Warren Zeiders: It was just kind of something that I found

458

16:28 ,815 --> 00:16:32,934

Warren Zeiders: on my own and you know I believe it.

459

16:33 ,135 --> 00:16:33,918

Warren Zeiders: Good Lord, how to plan?

460

16:34 ,571 --> 00:16:36,857

Warren Zeiders: And here we are today.

461

16:37 ,177 --> 00:16:37,699

Warren Zeiders: It's crazy.

462

16:38 ,340 --> 00:16:38,902

Warren Zeiders: do so.

467

16:43 ,011 --> 00:16:45,619

Warren Zeiders: Actually, I grew up in the business world,

16:46 ,170 --> 00:16:49,079

Warren Zeiders: so my parents had two restaurants as I was

469

16:49 ,119 --> 00:16:50,694

Warren Zeiders: growing up, my dad had apartments.

470

16:51 ,750 --> 00:16:54,017

Warren Zeiders: My dad sold investments my early childhood.

471

16:54 ,910 --> 00:16:57,715

Warren Zeiders: My mom's a CPA, so she's now a CFO.

472

16:57 ,930 --> 00:17:00,996

Warren Zeiders: So oh, really.

478

17:11 ,992 --> 00:17:13,256

Warren Zeiders: I kind of you and I have that in common.

479

17:13 ,276 --> 00:17:14,560

Marc Preston: Yeah, my father did the same thing.

480

17:15 ,992 --> 00:17:18,437

Warren Zeiders: And I kind of I grew up in this world of

481

17:18 ,518 --> 00:17:23,910

Warren Zeiders: seeing just every single day businesses and

482

17:23 ,970 --> 00:17:25,878

Warren Zeiders: just kind of learning the lingo and just

483

17:26 ,018 --> 00:17:29,010

Warren Zeiders: you know all this stuff that you know it's

484

17:29 ,171 --> 00:17:31,470

Warren Zeiders: not easy running a business, so to speak.

485

17:31 ,751 --> 00:17:32,934

Warren Zeiders: It's a lot of work and you know being an

486

17:32 ,994 --> 00:17:34,116

Warren Zeiders: entrepreneur and stuff like that and

487

17:34 ,137 --> 00:17:37,253

Warren Zeiders: putting yourself out there, but a lot of if

488

17:37 ,293 --> 00:17:39,021

Warren Zeiders: it wasn't for my parents and you know my

489

17:39 ,082 --> 00:17:41,211

Warren Zeiders: upbringing and everything that they taught

490

17:41 ,251 --> 00:17:42,916

Warren Zeiders: me growing up I wouldn't be the man I am

491

17:42 ,936 --> 00:17:46,455

Warren Zeiders: today, and my grandfather too.

492

17:46 ,515 --> 00:17:47,477

Warren Zeiders: he was always a huge.

493

17:48 ,178 --> 00:17:48,960

Warren Zeiders: I have a lot of.

494

17:49 ,301 --> 00:17:51,112

Warren Zeiders: I'm very fortunate and it's been awesome

495

17:51 ,153 --> 00:17:53,744

Warren Zeiders: for me to grow up in a world where I've had

496

17:53 ,784 --> 00:17:55,752

Warren Zeiders: really awesome male role models in my life

497

17:56 ,314 --> 00:17:57,659

Warren Zeiders: who really supported me and, you know,

498

17:57 ,680 --> 00:18:00,530

Warren Zeiders: pushed me forward in this life whether it

499

18:00 ,591 --> 00:18:02,557

Warren Zeiders: means I had to be a better man and just you

500

18:02 ,577 --> 00:18:03,780

Warren Zeiders: know in today's world and stuff.

501

18:04 ,391 --> 00:18:07,602

Warren Zeiders: But my grandfather growing up you know my

502

18:07 ,642 --> 00:18:09,890

Warren Zeiders: mother and you know my aunts didn't really

503

18:09 ,970 --> 00:18:11,932

Warren Zeiders: have a lot growing up, but my grandfather

504

18:11 ,972 --> 00:18:13,957

Warren Zeiders: was constantly on the road working three

505

18:13 ,997 --> 00:18:14,438

Warren Zeiders: jobs.

506

18:14 ,739 --> 00:18:15,642

Warren Zeiders: He was going all week.

507

18:16 ,171 --> 00:18:17,533

Warren Zeiders: He'd be lucky if he got a chance to come

508

18:17 ,573 --> 00:18:21,601

Warren Zeiders: home on the weekends to, you know, see my

509

18:21 ,982 --> 00:18:23,692

Warren Zeiders: mother and my aunts and I think that

510

18:23 ,772 --> 00:18:26,423

Warren Zeiders: hearing those stories and even seeing how

511

18:26 ,483 --> 00:18:28,953

Warren Zeiders: hard he worked as I was growing up as an

512

18:29 ,013 --> 00:18:31,784

Warren Zeiders: early child, I was always with him, whether

513

18:31 ,804 --> 00:18:33,631

Warren Zeiders: we were working in the garage together or

514

18:33 ,711 --> 00:18:36,479

Warren Zeiders: projects, you know, outside, hunting and

515

18:36 ,499 --> 00:18:37,241

Warren Zeiders: all this kind of stuff.

516

18:37 ,350 --> 00:18:39,719

Warren Zeiders: I think that seeing all those things really

517

18:40 ,180 --> 00:18:42,850

Warren Zeiders: formed me into you know the way I see the

518

18:42 ,910 --> 00:18:44,176

Warren Zeiders: world and everything today.

519

18:44 ,571 --> 00:18:46,135

Marc Preston: You know I did notice, speaking to your

520

18:46 ,155 --> 00:18:47,559

Marc Preston: grandfather I had such a wonderful

521

18:47 ,640 --> 00:18:50,273

Marc Preston: relationship with mine as well it sounds

522

18:50 ,294 --> 00:18:52,122

Marc Preston: like you're really a spot on young man when

523

18:52 ,142 --> 00:18:53,568

Marc Preston: it comes to you know 22,.

524

18:53 ,629 --> 00:18:56,310

525

18:56 ,330 --> 00:18:56,531

526

18:56 ,732 --> 00:18:59,423

Marc Preston: I realized that kind of in the moment, kind

527

18:59 ,444 --> 00:18:59,986

Marc Preston: of like you did.

528

19:00 ,046 --> 00:19:02,033

Marc Preston: It's important to soak that up, like right

529

19:02 ,073 --> 00:19:04,941

Marc Preston: now, because you miss it when you don't

530

19:04 ,981 --> 00:19:05,281

Marc Preston: have it.

531

19:05 ,490 --> 00:19:07,114

Marc Preston: So it's great that you've got those

532

19:07 ,174 --> 00:19:09,800

Marc Preston: inspirations of people around you and it's

533

19:09 ,820 --> 00:19:11,091

Warren Zeiders: any artist should take away, and it's so

601

21:22 ,799 --> 00:21:23,160

612

21:51 ,277 --> 00:21:52,078

Warren Zeiders: two microphones.

613

21:52 ,359 --> 00:21:54,763

Warren Zeiders: An interface had no idea what I was doing.

614

21:55 ,391 --> 00:21:56,395

615

21:57 ,111 --> 00:21:59,355

Warren Zeiders: So I had.

637

22:42 ,793 --> 00:22:46,018

Warren Zeiders: I was again too for a guy who was in

638

22:46 ,058 --> 00:22:48,541

Warren Zeiders: college and was trying to figure out what

639

22:48 ,561 --> 00:22:49,743

Warren Zeiders: he was going to be doing with his life

640

22:50 ,103 --> 00:22:51,205

Warren Zeiders: after he graduated.

641

22:52 ,370 --> 00:22:53,693

Warren Zeiders: I didn't really have again.

642

22:53 ,713 --> 00:22:56,619

Warren Zeiders: I didn't have the knowledge of what

643

22:56 ,820 --> 00:22:58,563

Warren Zeiders: equipment to buy, what gear to use.

644

22:58 ,810 --> 00:23:02,460

Warren Zeiders: I just kind of looked up some stuff and was

645

23:02 ,500 --> 00:23:03,242

Warren Zeiders: like, okay, cool.

646

23:03 ,450 --> 00:23:05,996

Warren Zeiders: So I went to Guitar Center and the dude

647

23:06 ,036 --> 00:23:09,191

Warren Zeiders: there was like hey, sm7b, this is some,

648

23:09 ,352 --> 00:23:10,595

Warren Zeiders: this is some of the people like to use.

649

23:11 ,096 --> 00:23:11,818

Warren Zeiders: You want to try it out?

650

23:11 ,838 --> 00:23:12,479

Warren Zeiders: I was like cool.

651

23:12 ,981 --> 00:23:13,682

Warren Zeiders: So I got that.

652

23:14 ,051 --> 00:23:15,550

Warren Zeiders: I don't know what the other Mike was, it

653

23:15 ,590 --> 00:23:18,878

Warren Zeiders: was another SM, it was another Sure Mike

654

23:19 ,359 --> 00:23:22,594

Warren Zeiders: that I used to mic my guitar and then I

655

23:22 ,654 --> 00:23:23,437

Warren Zeiders: used the focus right.

656

23:23 ,951 --> 00:23:28,335

Warren Zeiders: So that's what I did and I had two mics.

657

23:29 ,218 --> 00:23:29,720

Warren Zeiders: That was it.

658

23:29 ,890 --> 00:23:33,139

Warren Zeiders: I used Ableton Live Press Record and it was

659

23:33 ,500 --> 00:23:33,620

Warren Zeiders: all.

660

23:33 ,740 --> 00:23:35,273

Warren Zeiders: One takes, no editing.

661

23:35 ,534 --> 00:23:39,185

Warren Zeiders: I didn't know how to do clips or do a sing

662

23:39 ,225 --> 00:23:40,750

Warren Zeiders: this verse numerous times.

663

23:40 ,910 --> 00:23:43,199

Warren Zeiders: It was all unedited, just super raw.

664

23:43 ,350 --> 00:23:44,735

Marc Preston: There's so many people, I'm sure, listening

665

23:44 ,755 --> 00:23:47,515

Marc Preston: going damn you, you know, because you know

666

23:47 ,535 --> 00:23:49,260

Marc Preston: you're not picking up the most expensive

667

23:49 ,320 --> 00:23:49,621

Marc Preston: stuff.

668

23:50 ,252 --> 00:23:51,370

Marc Preston: It's very democratized.

669

23:51 ,410 --> 00:23:52,984

Marc Preston: You pick up the gear, just what you needed

670

23:53 ,025 --> 00:23:53,570

Marc Preston: to make it happen.

671

23:53 ,650 --> 00:23:55,236

Marc Preston: Now the question is what have you done as

672

23:55 ,296 --> 00:23:56,219

Marc Preston: far as upgrades?

673

23:56 ,299 --> 00:23:58,041

Marc Preston: Now, something tells me you've kind of

674

23:58 ,082 --> 00:23:59,190

Marc Preston: upgraded your setup a little bit.

675

23:59 ,270 --> 00:24:00,094

Marc Preston: What are you using now?

676

24:00 ,510 --> 00:24:04,921

Warren Zeiders: So now I don't really have a home studio.

677

24:05 ,081 --> 00:24:08,898

Warren Zeiders: Now I'm normally spending time with

678

24:08 ,958 --> 00:24:11,052

Warren Zeiders: producers and stuff like that, and whether

679

24:11 ,132 --> 00:24:13,398

Warren Zeiders: it's in a studio or it's in their home

680

24:13 ,438 --> 00:24:16,755

Warren Zeiders: studio, I still have the same setup I have

681

24:17 ,477 --> 00:24:21,035

Warren Zeiders: at home If I'm doing work tapes or demos

682

24:21 ,216 --> 00:24:21,837

Warren Zeiders: that I want to do.

683

24:23 From Bedroom to Stage

24:23 ,130 --> 00:24:27,760

Warren Zeiders: But for me here's another fun story that

684

24:27 ,800 --> 00:24:29,571

Warren Zeiders: people might that might want to say damn

685

24:29 ,631 --> 00:24:30,552

Warren Zeiders: you, Rai.

686

24:30 ,572 --> 00:24:34,319

Warren Zeiders: The lightning was recorded at a place

687

24:34 ,359 --> 00:24:38,051

Warren Zeiders: called sound emporium down in Nashville and

688

24:38 ,212 --> 00:24:41,159

Warren Zeiders: I think I did three vocal passes and three

689

24:41 ,199 --> 00:24:45,116

Warren Zeiders: guitar takes and then my manager didn't

690

24:45 ,136 --> 00:24:47,942

Warren Zeiders: really know what to do because I was still

691

24:48 ,002 --> 00:24:50,256

Warren Zeiders: super new and I was trying to figure things

692

24:50 ,397 --> 00:24:50,497

Warren Zeiders: out.

693

24:50 ,610 --> 00:24:54,057

Warren Zeiders: We used the $10 mastering online and just

694

24:54 ,658 --> 00:24:57,990

Warren Zeiders: did that and just just shipped it out and

695

24:58 ,071 --> 00:25:00,056

Warren Zeiders: that song has become what it is today,

696

25:00 ,096 --> 00:25:02,894

Warren Zeiders: which is that makes me chuckle because good.

697

25:02 ,914 --> 00:25:03,637

Marc Preston: Lord's got a plan.

698

25:03 ,910 --> 00:25:05,495

699

25:05 ,535 --> 00:25:06,619

Marc Preston: go back, because you didn't mention

700

25:06 ,679 --> 00:25:06,980

Marc Preston: something.

701

25:07 ,370 --> 00:25:08,555

Marc Preston: I'm not going to let you get away with it,

702

25:08 ,930 --> 00:25:10,557

Marc Preston: but you said that the girls like the guitar.

703

25:11 ,110 --> 00:25:16,800

Marc Preston: Now it's it's how many pinch you got to

708

25:24 ,918 --> 00:25:26,272

Marc Preston: pinch yourself moments, or are you going

847

30:29 ,043 --> 00:30:33,252

Warren Zeiders: first time, that's when I knew I was born

30:33 ,392 --> 00:30:33,973

849

30:34 ,881 --> 00:30:35,722

30:58 ,307 --> 00:31:02,019

Marc Preston: you about you know, now you're now this is

859

31:02 ,100 --> 00:31:04,024

860

31:04 ,104 --> 00:31:06,990

861

31:07 ,010 --> 00:31:07,652

864

31:13 ,960 --> 00:31:17,207

Warren Zeiders: I think for me, one of the big surprises is

865

31:17 ,728 --> 00:31:20,413

Warren Zeiders: I do a meet and greet after my shows and

866

31:20 ,660 --> 00:31:21,243

Warren Zeiders: completely free.

867

31:22 ,000 --> 00:31:23,864

Warren Zeiders: I want to do it and I'll, some nights, meet

868

31:24 ,085 --> 00:31:27,772

Warren Zeiders: 100, 400, 500 fans who hang around to do

869

31:27 ,792 --> 00:31:28,313

Warren Zeiders: the meet and greet.

870

31:28 ,880 --> 00:31:31,449

Warren Zeiders: A big surprise for me is standing in that

871

31:31 ,550 --> 00:31:33,898

Warren Zeiders: line and meeting these people who have

872

31:33 ,999 --> 00:31:37,147

Warren Zeiders: followed me from before I even put out my

873

31:37 ,228 --> 00:31:40,316

Warren Zeiders: first song, who were like there from day

874

31:40 ,637 --> 00:31:43,004

Warren Zeiders: one and they're like hey man, I knew this

875

31:43 ,044 --> 00:31:44,862

Warren Zeiders: was going to happen, I knew you had

876

31:44 ,942 --> 00:31:46,466

Warren Zeiders: something early on and they just had

877

31:46 ,586 --> 00:31:50,062

Warren Zeiders: followed this entire time before they knew

878

31:50 ,163 --> 00:31:52,823

Warren Zeiders: it, before I did, and I think that there's

879

31:52 ,843 --> 00:31:54,895

Warren Zeiders: a lot of beauty in that that these people

880

31:54 ,995 --> 00:31:56,623

Warren Zeiders: saw something in me that I didn't even see

881

31:56 ,663 --> 00:31:58,992

Warren Zeiders: in myself when I was just doing it.

882

31:59 ,675 --> 00:32:01,883

Warren Zeiders: You know, for fun, really, and obviously I

883

32:01 ,903 --> 00:32:02,947

Warren Zeiders: still have fun doing it.

884

32:03 ,580 --> 00:32:05,306

Warren Zeiders: I think another thing is, too, is hearing

885

32:05 ,326 --> 00:32:08,899

40:35 ,692 --> 00:40:36,575

Marc Preston: kind of talk story with?

Speaker:1127

40:40 ,439 --> 00:40:42,661

Warren Zeiders: I think my grandfather, who I never got to

Speaker:1128

40:42 ,721 --> 00:40:46,905

Warren Zeiders: meet because I've heard so many stories

Speaker:1129

40:47 ,246 --> 00:40:53,392

Warren Zeiders: about how my dad and him had a relationship.

Speaker:1130

40:53 ,595 --> 00:40:56,800

Warren Zeiders: I think I owe a lot to him for raising my

Speaker:1131

40:56 ,820 --> 00:40:57,381

Warren Zeiders: dad right.

Speaker:1132

41:03 ,836 --> 00:41:05,278

Speaker:1134

41:07 ,761 --> 00:41:09,043

41:09 ,063 --> 00:41:12,266

Warren Zeiders: that experience to sit down at least with

Speaker:1136

41:12 ,306 --> 00:41:16,431

Warren Zeiders: those two to just talk about how my dad was

Speaker:1137

41:16 ,491 --> 00:41:18,934

Speaker:1138

41:18 ,954 --> 00:41:19,575

Warren Zeiders: stories and stuff like that.

41:24 ,926 --> 00:41:26,389

Warren Zeiders: grandfather I never got to meet.

Speaker:1142

41:26 ,735 --> 00:41:28,158

Marc Preston: Everybody is a little bit different and I

Speaker:1143

43:14 ,381 --> 00:43:16,546

Marc Preston: be from time you get up to the time you put

Speaker:1194

43:16 ,566 --> 00:43:18,270

Marc Preston: your head down on the pillow at night.

Speaker:1195

43:18 ,591 --> 00:43:20,495

Marc Preston: day for you?

Speaker:1199

43:24 ,155 --> 00:43:28,299

Warren Zeiders: I would say good meals, healthy eating.

Speaker:1200

43:31 ,601 --> 00:43:34,704

Warren Zeiders: I would say making sure, whether it's you

Speaker:1201

43:34 ,744 --> 00:43:37,706

Warren Zeiders: know writing a cool song or you know making

Speaker:1202

43:37 ,746 --> 00:43:39,988

Warren Zeiders: sure that I got to spend time in the studio

Speaker:1203

43:40 ,408 --> 00:43:43,231

Warren Zeiders: or you know I'm out there on stage playing

Speaker:1204

43:43 ,251 --> 00:43:44,992

Warren Zeiders: for hundreds of people and being fans of

43:45 ,012 --> 00:43:45,272

Warren Zeiders: stuff.

Speaker:1206

43:45 ,915 --> 00:43:47,698

Warren Zeiders: I think a big thing for me, too, is always

Speaker:1207

43:47 ,738 --> 00:43:48,819

Warren Zeiders: getting a great workout in.

Speaker:1208

43:49 ,079 --> 00:43:50,201

Warren Zeiders: Workouts are huge to me.

Speaker:1209

43:51 ,042 --> 00:43:55,007

Warren Zeiders: I'm really big into, you know, physical

Speaker:1210

43:55 ,047 --> 00:43:57,310

Warren Zeiders: health, but also mental health.

Speaker:1211

43:57 ,550 --> 00:43:58,351

Warren Zeiders: It's a big thing for me.

Speaker:1212

43:58 ,615 --> 00:44:01,562

Warren Zeiders: I think that going to the gym is not only

Speaker:1213

44:01 ,602 --> 00:44:02,644

Warren Zeiders: just a physical thing for me.

Speaker:1214

44:02 ,804 --> 00:44:06,092

Warren Zeiders: It is very much so a mental thing, and you

Speaker:1215

44:06 ,112 --> 00:44:07,354

Warren Zeiders: know pushing boundaries and pushing

Speaker:1216

44:07 ,374 --> 00:44:07,575

Warren Zeiders: yourself.

Speaker:1217

44:07 ,796 --> 00:44:10,362

Warren Zeiders: So I would say those are some good things

Speaker:1218

44:10 ,382 --> 00:44:10,903

Warren Zeiders: to touch on.

Speaker:1219

44:10 ,963 --> 00:44:13,490

Warren Zeiders: And, you know, catching up with family and

Speaker:1220

44:13 ,530 --> 00:44:15,374

Warren Zeiders: friends when I get a chance to check in and

Speaker:1221

44:15 ,435 --> 00:44:15,535

Warren Zeiders: stuff.

Speaker:1222

44:16 ,417 --> 00:44:17,319

Marc Preston: All right, perfect, Perfect.

Speaker:1223

44:17 ,359 --> 00:44:17,841

Marc Preston: I like that.

Speaker:1224

44:18 ,041 --> 00:44:20,668

Marc Preston: Now, last question, though if you were to

Speaker:1225

44:20 ,988 --> 00:44:22,973

Marc Preston: jump in a DeLorean, you know you can go

Speaker:1226

44:23 ,014 --> 00:44:23,575

Marc Preston: back in time.

Speaker:1227

44:24 ,057 --> 00:44:26,103

Marc Preston: I usually say to when you were 16, but it's

Speaker:1228

44:26 ,143 --> 00:44:27,408

Marc Preston: not that long ago for you.

Speaker:1229

44:27 ,428 --> 00:44:28,451

Marc Preston: So if you want to go back a little bit

Speaker:1230
