Gunshine Unveils Music Video for "Single Looks Good On You"

"Single Looks Good On You'' is a spring break party rocking song inspired by the gulf coast of Florida. An anthem to those recently single ready to let loose and have a good time. With "Single Looks Good On You,'" Gunshine showcases its signature ''swamp rock'' sound with this song. It has an irresistibly hooky melody and lyric. This track is sure to be a new favorite for listeners.

A musical love child conceived during the pandemic, Gunshine was birthed by Daytona Beach native and New Years Day ax man Austin Ingerman

After an exhaustive search, Jordan Benson, distant cousin to Elvis Presley, became the band’s singer

Gunshine are:
Austin Ingerman: (Guitar, Vocals)
Jordan Benson: (Lead Vocals, Piano)
Jake Tripp: (Bass, Vocals)
Tommy Salzburg: (Drums, Vocals)

“Wow, was I thoroughly entertained by this record it’s fantastic! The guitar playing, the singing, ithas an energy of an early GNR or maybe a Buckcherry. I really enjoy everything I’ve heard so far.”— Joe Elliott (lead singer Def Leppard)

“Very good band and songs. I’m liking this, about time, a decent band with the right elements and crass.What I hear is a great guitarist about to set a name in the game. Way cool.” — Stephen Pearcy (leadsinger Ratt)

the road right now. Where are you at right now?

14
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.719
Right now? We are in kind of near Cincinnati.

15
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.079
We just played last night at this venue called the

16
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:06.599
Blue Note and it was awesome.

17
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:06.719
Man.

18
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.959
It was a packed house and a bunch of people

19
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.680
bought merch and people out there singing every single lyrics.

20
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.519
So yeah, it was fun. Man. We're out here doing

21
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:15.599
the doing the thing.

22
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.359
I love that I've heard of at venue too. That's

23
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.680
like an iconic menus and venue.

24
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:21.879
So that's cool.

25
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:24.480
Yeah, they got I think they just had Jack all

26
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:27.159
They got George Lynch coming in I think tomorrow night.

27
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.760
So yeah, it was a cool spot all right.

28
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:33.640
So you guys have this new single and no pun

29
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.560
intended single looks good on you. What a great not

30
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:43.079
only spring break party song, but also it gave me

31
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:48.599
flashbacks of the eighties, you know, and flashbacks from the

32
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.719
music perspective, not necessarily the scene, but just that that

33
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.879
kind of party, fun music that we need right now.

34
00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:58.120
Yeah.

35
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.239
Man, it's all in there. All those vibes are in there.

36
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.680
And when we first started the band. It's funny when

37
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:05.120
Jordan first came over when I was auditioned in singers,

38
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:06.560
he was like, well, what are you kind of going for?

39
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.840
And I'm like, man, it's like think about you know

40
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:10.800
Van Halen. It makes you want to party and have

41
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:13.599
a good time. And especially I started the band basically

42
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.520
on the heels of COVID, so there's a lot of dark,

43
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.400
depressing kind of times at that time, and I was like, man,

44
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.159
I just want to have a sound and a vibe

45
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.879
that makes you want to, you know, have a good

46
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:24.879
time party, kind of gets your mind off all the

47
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:26.960
stress going on in the world and stuff.

48
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.840
So you know, that's another song like that.

49
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:32.199
It's spring break party anthem and definitely got the Florida

50
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.280
vibes in there. A little we don't really call it country,

51
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.560
more like swamp rock, which is you know, it's, yeah,

52
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:40.199
it's got some of the hair band vibes, but with

53
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.639
a little bit more grit, kind of nastier you know,

54
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:45.000
sound blended in there.

55
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:52.520
And I also believe more musicianship than the Sunset Strip

56
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:53.759
hair metal bands.

57
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:53.919
Like.

58
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:56.919
To me, it's got that party vibe, but it's also

59
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.439
got the killer musicianship, so it's not like a gimmick.

60
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:01.919
You're a true musician.

61
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:03.680
Oh thanks man.

62
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:07.719
So my thing was always like, again to kind of

63
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:08.960
reference Van Haleen a little bit.

64
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:11.240
I know a new no from Extreme talks about this too.

65
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.960
But when you take a catchy having a catchy like

66
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.840
pop rock kind of song with a big chorus and everything,

67
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.280
but then doing these little things in between that, like

68
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.240
when you peel back the layers and under the covers

69
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:26.319
where you're kind of doing you know, doing flashy stuff

70
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.879
on the guitar or whatever as long as it fits

71
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.280
a song. But you know, it's not so much like oh,

72
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.759
just strum chords and then guitar solo and whatever. Like

73
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:35.280
like if you listen to Van Halen or some there's

74
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.000
all these little easter eggs throughout the song, So yeah,

75
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.280
kind of inspired by stuff like that where it's like,

76
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.879
you know, like I said, when you peel back the layers,

77
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.360
there's there's a lot to it, but it's still a palatable, catchy,

78
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:48.400
you know, pop rock.

79
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:48.919
And roll song.

80
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:53.639
Absolutely, So tell us a little bit about what happened

81
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.120
during COVID that made you want to start this project.

82
00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:59.879
You know, we know the obvious of what happened, but

83
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:04.400
well happened for you personally that created this creativity.

84
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:05.800
Yeah.

85
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:08.520
So I've always been really into the creation of music

86
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.039
and writing songs. I've always heard ideas and stuff in

87
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.840
my head and always kind of had the vision to

88
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.439
sort of start my own thing, and it just it

89
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.040
takes so many years and time to find the right

90
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:21.920
pieces to kind of get that off the ground. Because

91
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.360
I was really looking for an X factor type voice,

92
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.560
you know, someone that love them or hate them, you

93
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:29.439
know that it's us as soon as you hear us

94
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.160
come on. So I was really trying to find that,

95
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.240
which that's not an easy thing to find, so that

96
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.160
takes year. So I had a really high standard of

97
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.439
what I was trying to create and the sound that

98
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.680
was in my head. So in the meantime, you know,

99
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.199
I was going to music school out in Hollywood and

100
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:48.600
musicians Institute out there in California. And when I graduated,

101
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:50.319
I got the opportunity to tour with a band called

102
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:53.160
New Year's Day and we did arena tours with Hailstorm

103
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.560
and in this moment, you know, God smack and that

104
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.839
was awesome. But you know, when so when the world

105
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.879
shut down, the COVID thing, we were on tour with

106
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.480
New Year's Day, and that was we flew home from

107
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:07.199
Germany two days before everything shut down.

108
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.519
Wow, but you know, the silver lining and everything was.

109
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.639
It kind of brought all the tour into a halt

110
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.959
and allowed me to really, you know, reflect and kind

111
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.000
of get this whole thing off the ground. And sure enough,

112
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.439
when I went back to Florida, someone said, hey, you

113
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:23.759
should try this guy. He plays in the local dueling

114
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:25.959
piano bar, and I think he would sound great for

115
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.560
what you're trying to do. So and of course I

116
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.839
had tried singers in La, I'd tried singers all over

117
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.399
the country. But of course I go back home to

118
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.680
Florida and you know, small kind of a small town

119
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.680
in Pensacola, and you know, and that's where I find

120
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.000
Jordan's So it's just kind of crazy how it all happened.

121
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.120
That is pretty cool, And you know, I love your

122
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:50.800
story because I said after and during COVID that the

123
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:54.160
blessing of COVID was it would give musicians the chance

124
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.319
to jump off the hamster wheel and actually be able

125
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:01.160
to create again, because it's got it got so busy

126
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.439
that you never really had a chance to get creative

127
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.839
like you may have when you first started in music.

128
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.519
And it's almost like going back to that when it

129
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.399
was fresh and new and exciting.

130
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.560
Exactly, yeah, exactly, Yeah, there was something about you know

131
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.040
that time, it's like, you know, you couldn't really people

132
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:22.720
weren't touring, so it's like there was a lot of

133
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.720
people writing and stuff like that, but it was you know,

134
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:27.759
I think in another way, it was kind of hard

135
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:29.879
for some people to be inspired because of all the

136
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.240
you know, the madness going on in the world and stuff,

137
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.319
so totally it was almost yeah, it was kind of

138
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:36.600
a little bit of both. But for me, I this

139
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:39.439
was kind of a thing that I'd wanted to start

140
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:41.439
for so many years, so I had all these ideas

141
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.360
saved and I would actually work on demos that became

142
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.199
the first album for Gunshine. While I was on tour

143
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:48.839
New Year's Day, I would go in the green room

144
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.319
and kind of record stuff. I didn't want to just

145
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.839
wait around until I found all the right pieces, so

146
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.959
I was actively putting things together even before the band started.

147
00:06:58.519 --> 00:06:59.160
I love that.

148
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:04.240
And so how have you felt the experience has been

149
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:08.480
with Gunshine? Is it everything that you were thinking it

150
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:10.000
would be or is it more?

151
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.199
Oh? Man, it's it's been going absolutely killer. You know.

152
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:17.319
We just played last night, Like I said, to see

153
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:19.560
people singing the lyrics and stuff back to us.

154
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:20.800
It's a whole uh.

155
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.639
Crazy wid Yeah, because that's kind of what I always

156
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.360
sort of dreamed of, and I love songwriting, and it's

157
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:28.920
just it's just really cool too.

158
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.040
You know. The rate that it's gone in just a

159
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.319
few years is super humbling.

160
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.399
So yeah, man, I would say it's going great and

161
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:38.800
everything everything that I was trying to do, Everything I wanted.

162
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.800
But we're just trying to keep keep raising the bar

163
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:43.800
and pushing forward even more from here.

164
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:48.319
So, and speaking of the eighties, what does it feel

165
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.399
like when you get kudos from guys like Joe Elliott

166
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:52.639
and Steven Piercy.

167
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:56.959
Yeah, it's another like surreal moment. Man, it's just crazy,

168
00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.240
like you grow up on music like that. I always

169
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:00.920
say I was born in the wrong decades. So I

170
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.480
love you know, def Leppard and and Rat and everything

171
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.480
like that. So you know, it's just it's further I

172
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:12.600
guess whatever you want to say, validation or or confirmation

173
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.639
or whatever. It is that that yeah, we're on you know,

174
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.600
we're onto something and that that uh, the sound that

175
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.519
was you know, that was kind of circulating for us

176
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.519
is something that resonates with people so and especially guys

177
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:26.879
like that that you really respect it.

178
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:27.519
It means a lot.

179
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.519
Yeah, Like for a guy like Joe Elliott to sit

180
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.039
there and say he could just said, oh, it was

181
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:38.639
good music, but he's like, wow, was I thoroughly entertained

182
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:42.720
by this record? It's fantastic like those adjectives, let's say

183
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:43.080
a lot.

184
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:44.080
And then to.

185
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.879
Compare you to early gin or and maybe even Buck Jerry,

186
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:49.240
that's pretty wild.

187
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:51.279
Yeah, I know that.

188
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.960
It's it's crazy like uh, and like I said, those

189
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.679
you know, def Leppard is a big part of the sound,

190
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.200
you know, all the melodies and how Mutt Lang was

191
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:01.480
kind of producing every everything. He's a big influence for

192
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:04.840
me as well. So yeah, man, wild it would be

193
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:06.399
cool if we got a tour with def Leppard at

194
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:06.799
some point.

195
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.799
There it is you could have maybe you could have

196
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.039
like a tour it would be rat def Leopard and

197
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:13.600
you guys.

198
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:15.519
There you go. I'm all about it.

199
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.720
And then you could get Steven and Joe to come

200
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.120
up and perform a song with you guys.

201
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:25.360
Yeah, oh yeah, right, yeah, we'll speak it into existence.

202
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:29.159
There you go. So what else you got going on

203
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.039
for the rest of twenty twenty six ap the listeners

204
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:32.879
have to look out for.

205
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.960
Yeah, we're just busy touring. Man, We're gonna be uh,

206
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:36.519
you know.

207
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:38.679
We have the new record, Grand Rising, and we're super

208
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:39.480
pumped about it.

209
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.919
It's it's it's all over the place in the best

210
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:43.360
of ways.

211
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:43.600
You know.

212
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.679
We got a couple of ballads, we have an acoustic song,

213
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.039
we have heavier songs, we have some stuff that kind

214
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:51.919
of nods back to the first album a little bit.

215
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.919
We had the last song on the records called Table Dancing,

216
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.399
and it's eight minutes long and it's like five songs

217
00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:59.879
in one. There's a there's like a Frank Sinatra section

218
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:01.639
in a seventies disco section.

219
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.320
So we had a ton of fun making this album.

220
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.120
So the really the thing this year is just we're

221
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:10.960
sort of touring and getting this album out there nice.

222
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:14.759
And I love that you have all different types of

223
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.600
kind of lack of a better thing, playing like genres

224
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:22.639
within your music, because that's what I think makes it

225
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:25.840
today is the blending of a bunch of I think

226
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.919
metal and rock in general has gotten so like finite

227
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:34.320
with the subgenres and the micro genres that it's so

228
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.720
refreshing me a band like yours that can just mix

229
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.480
things up and just play whatever you feel instead of

230
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:45.960
going by some script or some some formula exactly.

231
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.519
That's one of the biggest parts when I started this band,

232
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:50.519
was like making sure that it was always done that

233
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.639
way and just writing whatever comes out.

234
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:53.840
And I just love music.

235
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:57.240
So there's all kinds, you know, like my dad used

236
00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:58.960
to play like a Beach Boys CD in the in

237
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.159
the car or like case in the Sunshine band, and

238
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.159
then you know, we're my sister and I were nineties kids,

239
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.120
so we were hearing some of the pop stuff that

240
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:08.799
was coming out at the time and just you know,

241
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.600
hard rock and metal and you can blend all that stuff,

242
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:12.600
and that's what's cool about it.

243
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.039
It's like, to me, I get bored if it's just

244
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:15.759
one thing.

245
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.759
But it's like what makes it, what makes it cool

246
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.240
for me is like, well, what if we took like,

247
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.919
you know, the edginess of this, but combined it with

248
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:24.960
the melody of that and then you know, just I

249
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:26.639
don't know, man, That's that's what makes it fun.

250
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.799
Yeah. I think Olie from bringing in the rites and

251
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:31.440
said it best when they were giving him a lot

252
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.519
of crap for like doing all different types of music

253
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:36.720
now and it's like, why do I want to write

254
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.399
the same song over and over again? And I think

255
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:42.440
about them, like any artist that's been doing for a while,

256
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.960
that would get like drudgery instead of fun if you're

257
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.519
doing the same thing you did all through the years.

258
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.600
Totally totally and it And that's the biggest thing is like,

259
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:55.399
you know, the first album came out and again it

260
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:59.039
was it was years of work even before the band started,

261
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.240
so you're talking some of the riffs may have been

262
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.600
from around ten years ago. And then you know, you

263
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:05.360
grow as a person, you grow as an artist, and

264
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.480
you're inspired by different things as the years go on.

265
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.399
So as we keep putting out more music because of

266
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:12.840
what we have, that mindset of just writing whatever comes out,

267
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:14.240
things are gonna sound.

268
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.759
Different, you know. And that's the way I always wanted

269
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:16.360
to do things.

270
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:19.559
And you know, as opposed to maybe like an AC DC,

271
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:22.480
where every album's going to sound similar. They do it

272
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.360
so well. You know, they have their sound and they

273
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.399
do that so so well. But for me, it's like

274
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:29.320
it's more fun when you kind of keep mixing it

275
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.600
up and and and.

276
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.360
Yeah, like I said, so that's that's what makes it

277
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:33.840
fun for me.

278
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.000
Yeah, And I mean that's the way I am. Like

279
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:39.679
if people are described me, they might think I'm like

280
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:44.919
schizophrenic because so many like different parts of my personality

281
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.759
and likes and stuff like that. And I think that's

282
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:54.240
what makes it interesting, fun and gives us the great

283
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.480
music because you're being authentic to yourself. So when you're authentic,

284
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.960
we can read that totally.

285
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.080
Yep, one hundred percent. I've always thought that too.

286
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.840
And the audience is smart and they can pick off,

287
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.080
pick up on if you're not being authentic and if

288
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.440
you're if you're just phoning it in or trying to

289
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:15.080
create a sound, uh, because it's something you think is

290
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.360
gonna sell and all this, you know, it's it's that

291
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:20.519
just that takes all the all the fun away from it. So,

292
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.159
but if you're having fun and you're creating, and you

293
00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:25.360
know you're laughing while you're writing because something you think

294
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.519
is so good or whatever, you know, whatever it may be.

295
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.279
But if you have that feeling, it's usually other people

296
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:32.080
resonate to nice.

297
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:35.240
So tell everybody how they can connect to you, guys

298
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:38.480
on socials, how they can reach your merch store, because

299
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:41.159
that's most important to me. They can't listen to my

300
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:43.080
show unless they buy your merch. It's the only way

301
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:44.080
you get to the next town.

302
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:46.440
Yeah, yeah, I appreciate you, man.

303
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.320
So, Uh, Gunshine band dot com is the website and

304
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:53.159

305
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.519

306
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.679
Instagram as well. So, and you'll find the merch. It's

307
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:00.360

309
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.240

00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:07.440

311
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:08.360
Cool.

312
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:10.960
Any final words you want to leave our listeners with

313
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:12.679
that we haven't covered already.

314
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:15.720
Now, Man, just appreciate everyone's support so much, and it's

00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:26.080
