00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:13.220
Hi, you're listening to Adventure on W4CY Radio.
2
00:00:19.059 --> 00:00:21.579
This is Pipe Man here on the Adventure's Pipe Man
3
00:00:21.739 --> 00:00:26.379
W4CY Radio, and I'm here with Josh Sodbuck, Sherry. Nice,
4
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.120
here at Rock, Oklahoma. How many times have you played Rock, Oklahoma?
5
00:00:31.550 --> 00:00:33.990
Wow, I don't know. Lost count, huh? Everything's a blur
6
00:00:34.009 --> 00:00:38.289
at this point. We celebrated 27 years in this game
7
00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:42.460
this year, dropped our 11th record last year, so I
8
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.119
don't know. I just show up one day at a time.
9
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:49.579
It all swirls in your head, right? 27 years. Does
10
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:50.600
that blow your mind?
11
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.840
It does, yeah. It blows my mind when I put
12
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.770
it into perspective, but I'm just grateful, yeah.
13
00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:05.689
What do you think has changed in how you do
14
00:01:05.810 --> 00:01:10.269
things when it comes to live shows, writing music, now
15
00:01:10.390 --> 00:01:12.989
compared to 26 years ago?
16
00:01:14.870 --> 00:01:18.290
Oh, wow. Everything's changed, man. I just have so much
17
00:01:18.329 --> 00:01:23.209
more knowledge, you know, of the business, of the touring game,
18
00:01:23.450 --> 00:01:26.200
of songwriting. So I've just gotten better.
19
00:01:27.140 --> 00:01:29.129
And that's the way it should be. Yeah. And a
20
00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:31.340
lot of times your old school fans, they want you
21
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.400
to stay like you were back then. But I think
22
00:01:34.459 --> 00:01:40.340
as a musician, you want to learn your craft, experiment, evolve,
23
00:01:40.739 --> 00:01:41.780
and get better at it.
24
00:01:41.780 --> 00:01:47.400
Of course. Yeah, that's the name of the game. And
25
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.859
the thing that hasn't changed is I'm still very passionate
26
00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:54.579
about songs and performing and So as long as that's
27
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:55.739
still there, I'm happy.
28
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.140
See, that's key to me because I see a lot
29
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.319
of bands and there's bands like you that you can
30
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.209
tell you're still way into it. And then there's other
31
00:02:04.269 --> 00:02:06.390
bands that they look like, oh, I got to do
32
00:02:06.430 --> 00:02:08.949
this again. And that's tough to do if you're in
33
00:02:08.990 --> 00:02:10.729
this industry. You should be having fun.
34
00:02:10.930 --> 00:02:12.789
I think bands are like that when they don't like
35
00:02:12.849 --> 00:02:15.330
each other, you know? Yeah. You got to like each other.
36
00:02:15.409 --> 00:02:17.939
And we've made a lot of changes over the years
37
00:02:17.979 --> 00:02:21.560
so that we continue to stay excited about being around
38
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.340
each other. And that's really important. And, um, so, you know,
39
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.259
I think change is good, you know, when it's needing
40
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.520
needed to be, you know, so.
41
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.889
I think after that many years, you do have to
42
00:02:32.949 --> 00:02:37.370
change in order, just like any friendship relationship, what have
43
00:02:37.409 --> 00:02:38.830
you to get along.
44
00:02:39.150 --> 00:02:41.129
Absolutely. Communication is key.
45
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:43.520
I always say that all the time. I even say
46
00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:44.860
proper communication.
47
00:02:45.180 --> 00:02:45.280
Yeah.
48
00:02:45.300 --> 00:02:50.289
Because sometimes we speak different languages. So understanding that other person.
49
00:02:50.629 --> 00:02:52.990
And I think that's the coolest thing about music, too,
50
00:02:53.090 --> 00:02:56.969
is it's a way to communicate. And it's a way, like,
51
00:02:57.229 --> 00:03:00.069
it's the best therapy there is for you, the artist,
52
00:03:00.129 --> 00:03:03.610
and me, the listener. Because you're getting to get your
53
00:03:03.650 --> 00:03:06.990
stuff out in your music. And I'm getting to get
54
00:03:07.250 --> 00:03:08.370
what I get out of it.
55
00:03:08.370 --> 00:03:08.669
Yeah.
56
00:03:09.259 --> 00:03:11.979
I think that would solve all the world problems. Music.
57
00:03:13.300 --> 00:03:15.530
Well, it's going to take more than music to solve
58
00:03:15.539 --> 00:03:17.750
the world's problems at this point, but, um, it's true.
59
00:03:17.990 --> 00:03:22.009
Can't get into all that, but, uh, that's a loaded one. Um, but, uh,
60
00:03:22.849 --> 00:03:26.389
you know, I see what music does worldwide to people.
61
00:03:26.469 --> 00:03:30.229
Like you're saying, um, I see how people react and, um,
62
00:03:31.169 --> 00:03:34.110
it's really special. You know, people that don't even know
63
00:03:34.150 --> 00:03:37.069
the English language will react to our songs in a
64
00:03:37.110 --> 00:03:40.469
way that's very touching. And, um, And I know that
65
00:03:40.610 --> 00:03:43.550
they're inspired by it, you know. And so that right
66
00:03:43.590 --> 00:03:46.189
there is like icing on the cake for us, you know.
67
00:03:46.650 --> 00:03:48.949
Yeah, it must be like such a feeling when you
68
00:03:48.990 --> 00:03:52.349
go to another country and they don't know English at all,
69
00:03:52.389 --> 00:03:54.710
but they're singing your lyrics back to you and they
70
00:03:54.810 --> 00:03:55.740
know what it means.
71
00:03:56.500 --> 00:03:56.750
Yes.
72
00:03:57.379 --> 00:03:57.680
Yeah.
73
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.659
And, you know, we've been to Japan many times and
74
00:04:01.699 --> 00:04:04.020
the reason they like rock and roll so much is
75
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.340
because it helps them learn English. That's how they learn
76
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:11.169
how to speak. to understand English, to speak English because
77
00:04:11.189 --> 00:04:15.669
of the big chanting choruses and melodies that rock brings. And, uh,
78
00:04:16.149 --> 00:04:18.329
I thought that was always really interesting and cool.
79
00:04:18.610 --> 00:04:24.550
That is pretty cool. What are your passions outside of music? I, I.
80
00:04:24.569 --> 00:04:26.790
Am, well, I spent a lot of time with my son,
81
00:04:26.810 --> 00:04:29.209
you know, and my, my kids when I'm home, mostly
82
00:04:29.250 --> 00:04:32.089
my son, because we have a lot of the same interests. Um,
83
00:04:32.970 --> 00:04:36.230
he's going to be 18 here in, uh, December and we,
84
00:04:36.329 --> 00:04:38.550
we surf together a lot, you know, when I'm home,
85
00:04:39.110 --> 00:04:41.379
I've been surfing since I was a kid and then
86
00:04:41.420 --> 00:04:43.540
he got into it. And now that's our thing. We,
87
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:45.699
we go and, and we go to a spot in
88
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:49.100
Newport beach where I served as a teenager. So it's
89
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.579
really special for me, you know? So I do that
90
00:04:51.620 --> 00:04:53.199
with him a lot. I'm going to be doing that
91
00:04:53.629 --> 00:04:56.170
next week, which I can't wait. And then we, I
92
00:04:56.189 --> 00:04:58.949
play a lot of tennis. So, um, and he, he
93
00:04:58.970 --> 00:05:00.750
picked up tennis too. And so we play that together.
94
00:05:01.550 --> 00:05:04.870
Both those sports probably keep you in shape to do
95
00:05:04.889 --> 00:05:05.889
these live shows.
96
00:05:06.050 --> 00:05:09.829
Absolutely. Absolutely. It's funny because... Tennis is an incredible game.
97
00:05:10.050 --> 00:05:12.610
Yeah. And surfing. You have to be in great shape.
98
00:05:12.689 --> 00:05:15.730
I surf too. It's cool though. Like what you're saying,
99
00:05:15.769 --> 00:05:19.410
I've brought my kids surfing and I've taught my grandkids
100
00:05:19.470 --> 00:05:21.569
how to surf.
101
00:05:21.670 --> 00:05:24.610
It's more of everything around the surf trip. So we
102
00:05:24.649 --> 00:05:26.910
have to drive about 45 minutes on the freeway.
103
00:05:27.209 --> 00:05:27.389
Yeah.
104
00:05:27.850 --> 00:05:30.970
And we listen to records and we talk about music
105
00:05:31.329 --> 00:05:33.649
the whole way you know and he'll pick a record
106
00:05:33.670 --> 00:05:35.250
and we'll listen to a record and we'll talk about
107
00:05:35.290 --> 00:05:37.949
it and and then we get in the water and
108
00:05:37.990 --> 00:05:40.500
we see like you know all the wildlife you know
109
00:05:40.509 --> 00:05:43.100
the seagulls the seals while we're surfing and it's like
110
00:05:43.740 --> 00:05:46.860
it's just really beautiful experience you know with him.
111
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.259
Totally because surfing in and of itself is that kind
112
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.300
of experience and to be able to share it with
113
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:56.069
your kid like It's not often that parents and kids
114
00:05:56.110 --> 00:05:58.930
have the same hobbies, so that when you do have that,
115
00:05:59.550 --> 00:06:02.970
and I think that's probably, music and surfing are probably
116
00:06:02.990 --> 00:06:04.939
the two best ones to share, I think.
117
00:06:05.139 --> 00:06:05.319
Yeah.
118
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.959
There's like this camaraderie with both of them, right?
119
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.959
Yeah, it's a lot of fun, and you know, I
120
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.980
live in Los Angeles, so in order to get to
121
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:14.899
the beach quickly, we have to get up very early
122
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.009
to beat the traffic, and I get up really early
123
00:06:18.029 --> 00:06:19.670
when I'm home. I'm up at five when I'm home,
124
00:06:20.269 --> 00:06:23.149
and My son hates it. That's the only part he
125
00:06:23.209 --> 00:06:26.709
hates about it. But I love waking him up at
126
00:06:26.750 --> 00:06:27.149
that time.
127
00:06:27.410 --> 00:06:30.509
It is true too. Like there's some places I go,
128
00:06:30.589 --> 00:06:33.509
like I go to Costa Rica a lot and like
129
00:06:33.550 --> 00:06:36.180
different places I go, you have to be there like
130
00:06:36.500 --> 00:06:38.740
early or else you're fucked.
131
00:06:38.899 --> 00:06:40.259
I mean, when I was a kid, that's what we
132
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.439
all did. We all get there. It's called Dawn Patrol.
133
00:06:42.459 --> 00:06:44.439
You get there right at You're in the water at
134
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.319
7 a.m. because that's when the water is the glassiest.
135
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.319
The waves are really great at that point in time,
136
00:06:50.379 --> 00:06:52.839
and there's nobody there, you know, so it's a lot
137
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:53.180
of fun.
138
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.199
Yeah, I remember being in high school at Agora High,
139
00:06:56.459 --> 00:07:00.279
and we used to ditch class and hitchhike through Canaan
140
00:07:00.339 --> 00:07:01.199
to get to the surf.
141
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.720
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We don't... We don't surf over there.
142
00:07:05.220 --> 00:07:09.319
I surf like Newport, like South Beach beaches, but I've
143
00:07:09.579 --> 00:07:11.120
surfed Zuma and Malibu many times.
144
00:07:11.170 --> 00:07:13.730
Yeah, I used to surf Zuma and all that area,
145
00:07:13.790 --> 00:07:18.050
but I've also surfed down like Huntington. Yeah, yeah.
146
00:07:18.170 --> 00:07:23.610
I've done Huntington, San Onofre, San Clemente, uppers and lowers.
147
00:07:23.990 --> 00:07:25.009
It's a lot of fun.
148
00:07:25.750 --> 00:07:29.689
See, I think that's a cool outlet outside music too
149
00:07:29.750 --> 00:07:32.579
because like even me, Like, I go on tour and
150
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.540
I do these festivals, like, all over the world, just
151
00:07:35.579 --> 00:07:39.040
like you do. And, you know, I come home and
152
00:07:39.220 --> 00:07:42.259
that's my chilling out, is going out and getting on
153
00:07:42.290 --> 00:07:42.750
the water.
154
00:07:42.790 --> 00:07:43.949
Nice. That's great.
155
00:07:44.269 --> 00:07:49.370
You know? Yeah. So, what got you into surfing first?
156
00:07:49.670 --> 00:07:51.550
I wanted to be a pro surfer before I got
157
00:07:51.589 --> 00:07:55.750
into music. So, I surfed religiously. I lived inland, though.
158
00:07:55.790 --> 00:07:58.829
I didn't live by the beach. So, I would take...
159
00:07:59.529 --> 00:08:02.839
three transfers on the on on the bus and they
160
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:04.759
let you put your surfboard on the bus and it
161
00:08:04.819 --> 00:08:07.720
dropped off at 32nd street in newport beach and i
162
00:08:07.779 --> 00:08:11.470
surfed there religiously every week and i got you know
163
00:08:12.170 --> 00:08:13.930
pretty good for at that point in time in my
164
00:08:13.970 --> 00:08:17.170
life and uh everybody i knew surfed so you know
165
00:08:17.329 --> 00:08:19.600
it was uh It was a big thing. And there
166
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.560
was a drummer that was a surfer. We were out
167
00:08:22.579 --> 00:08:24.439
in the water and it was the only band that
168
00:08:24.459 --> 00:08:26.019
was at my high school. And he's like, hey man,
169
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.819
we need a singer. You want to audition? I don't
170
00:08:28.860 --> 00:08:30.759
even know why he asked me because I wasn't singing.
171
00:08:31.370 --> 00:08:33.549
But I was big into music and I had a
172
00:08:33.590 --> 00:08:36.710
knack for writing words. I did a lot of poetry
173
00:08:36.809 --> 00:08:40.710
and creative writing. And I said, yeah. And I just
174
00:08:40.730 --> 00:08:43.629
got in there and that was it. Once I started
175
00:08:43.809 --> 00:08:46.409
that rehearsal... At the end of it, I was like,
176
00:08:46.450 --> 00:08:48.629
this is it. This is all I want to do. See,
177
00:08:48.669 --> 00:08:50.029
that's pretty cool. Yeah.
178
00:08:50.269 --> 00:08:54.429
You know, and then combining both worlds there. Yeah, it
179
00:08:54.450 --> 00:08:58.750
was really cool. So, how do you top everything you've
180
00:08:58.809 --> 00:09:01.509
done now? Like, you've done this for so many years.
181
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:04.960
What's your vision moving forward for Buckjerry?
182
00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:10.340
You know, everything is changing so rapidly with technology and
183
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.570
everything and the way people get music, so... we're learning
184
00:09:13.649 --> 00:09:16.870
as we go and making decisions in the moment, you know,
185
00:09:17.289 --> 00:09:19.629
but there's one thing that's not changing and it's the
186
00:09:19.669 --> 00:09:22.470
live show and it's what happens when you go see
187
00:09:22.850 --> 00:09:25.460
a Buck Sherry show, you know, and then thank God
188
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.139
for that. Cause we built our reputation on our live
189
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.909
show and, uh, and we just keep doing what, uh,
190
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.279
a lot of bands don't do anymore. We put out
191
00:09:34.419 --> 00:09:36.720
a great rock and roll record every two years and
192
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:38.990
we tour for two years on a record cycle. And,
193
00:09:39.590 --> 00:09:41.889
And we're going to continue to do it until, you know,
194
00:09:42.490 --> 00:09:43.490
we don't want to do it anymore.
195
00:09:43.750 --> 00:09:46.019
And that's what I love about what you do, because
196
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.620
it is true. It's like, you know, some bands, five, ten.
197
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.019
I just saw a band, I got a press release,
198
00:09:53.059 --> 00:09:56.330
a band first album in like 43 years or some
199
00:09:56.389 --> 00:09:57.029
shit like that.
200
00:09:57.090 --> 00:09:59.429
Yeah, I could not imagine that. And I couldn't imagine
201
00:09:59.450 --> 00:09:59.970
it being that long.
202
00:10:00.149 --> 00:10:03.220
Great. I miss the times where every band was like
203
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.220
doing exactly what you're talking about. You did the cycle,
204
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:08.940
you put out the album, you toured it, you know?
205
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:10.899
Yeah, I mean, I'm a firm believer you got to
206
00:10:10.940 --> 00:10:13.639
work the muscle or the muscle gets weak, you know?
207
00:10:13.740 --> 00:10:19.029
And so I'm constantly... you know, learning more about vocals
208
00:10:19.190 --> 00:10:23.269
and learning more about melody and challenging myself and writing
209
00:10:23.350 --> 00:10:26.779
and me and Stevie, you know, so, um, yeah. And
210
00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:28.779
I learned a lot from Marty Fredrickson, who is a
211
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.259
big component in this whole thing too, you know, nice
212
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:32.080
when we make records.
213
00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:38.279
And, and so speaking of, you know, vocals, what kind
214
00:10:38.299 --> 00:10:40.870
of things do you do to warm up for a gig?
215
00:10:41.929 --> 00:10:45.429
Oh, I have a whole regiment of, uh, warmups. I,
216
00:10:45.789 --> 00:10:48.690
I worked with this vocal coach, Mark Baxter, who's amazing.
217
00:10:49.289 --> 00:10:51.830
You can look him up online. He's an incredible guy and, uh,
218
00:10:52.570 --> 00:10:55.490
really taught me a lot. And, um, you know, he
219
00:10:55.509 --> 00:10:58.919
taught me that, you know, doing scales is not singing,
220
00:10:58.980 --> 00:11:02.039
it's vocalizing, you know? And so I vocalize every day,
221
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.360
even though I'm not singing every day. And, um, it's
222
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.559
important for me to always vocalize, you know, I don't
223
00:11:10.049 --> 00:11:14.169
I always tell people, the older you get, don't do less.
224
00:11:14.210 --> 00:11:16.809
You've got to do more. Right. You know what I mean?
225
00:11:17.429 --> 00:11:21.580
In order to keep everything on point. Exactly.
226
00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:25.539
I always think about for singers, doing festivals like this
227
00:11:25.620 --> 00:11:28.460
where you've got the festival dust, how hard it is
228
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:33.090
to sing. I even have it. And I found this
229
00:11:33.149 --> 00:11:35.210
cool thing you probably know about, but most here in
230
00:11:35.250 --> 00:11:37.750
America don't. Like over in the UK, they gave me
231
00:11:37.769 --> 00:11:40.820
this shit called Vocal Zone. You know about it?
232
00:11:40.889 --> 00:11:43.789
Yeah. Everybody's tried to give me all kinds of shit. Right?
233
00:11:44.730 --> 00:11:50.059
The one thing that I do, it's room temperature water,
234
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:52.580
nothing else. That's the best thing. And I don't drink
235
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:57.120
any water on stage at all. I hydrate way before,
236
00:11:57.220 --> 00:11:59.100
and then once I start singing, that's it.
237
00:12:00.179 --> 00:12:04.159
Is it like something you learned about that you shouldn't
238
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:05.679
drink water while you're singing?
239
00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:08.700
No, I just always feel like I have to reset
240
00:12:08.740 --> 00:12:13.399
a little bit when I drink anything because it tightens
241
00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:15.500
up your vocal folds just a little bit, and that's
242
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:17.870
not good, you know, for me. Yeah. It works for
1
00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:13.220
2
00:00:19.059 --> 00:00:21.579
3
00:00:21.739 --> 00:00:26.379
4
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.120
5
00:00:31.550 --> 00:00:33.990
6
00:00:34.009 --> 00:00:38.289
7
00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:42.460
8
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.119
9
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:49.579
10
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:50.600
11
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.840
12
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.770
13
00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:05.689
14
00:01:05.810 --> 00:01:10.269
15
00:01:10.390 --> 00:01:12.989
16
00:01:14.870 --> 00:01:18.290
17
00:01:18.329 --> 00:01:23.209
18
00:01:23.450 --> 00:01:26.200
19
00:01:27.140 --> 00:01:29.129
20
00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:31.340
21
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.400
22
00:01:34.459 --> 00:01:40.340
