00:00Backstage, John Langston about ready to come out there and party it up.
00:04Thanks for being here.
00:05Thanks for having me, man.
00:06This was a last-minute thing.
00:07I know.
00:08Last minute they said, you want to go down to Tampa?
00:09I said, hell yeah, let's go.
00:11Hell yeah, let's go.
00:12That's what we like to hear.
00:13Thank you for doing it, though.
00:14No problem.
00:14I know you're busy.
00:14You've had a super successful year.
00:18It's been fun.
00:18How do you describe, I'm sure, maybe the term cult following?
00:22Have you heard that before?
00:23Yeah, I've heard that a few times.
00:25It's just cool to see where the fan base has come from my college days
00:28and going around to small clubs and seeing those same faces,
00:32going out on tour this summer with Luke Bryan
00:34and seeing those same faces in the pit.
00:36So it's crazy.
00:38Will you all ever graduate college?
00:41I know.
00:41You're still here.
00:42Right.
00:44How does it go when you get that call last minute to come down to Tampa?
00:48Obviously, warmer weather, but you also have some buddies here
00:51that are going to be doing the show as well.
00:53So does that play a part at all?
00:54Are you like, hey, tell me about this guitar pole.
00:56Should I come down there?
00:57Well, I did not know.
00:58So I didn't know who was playing for like the first day,
01:02and then I found out that Morgan and Hardy were going to be here
01:04and chasing all of them.
01:05So I said, all right, let's go.
01:07It's going to be a party.
01:08I'm going to hydrate now.
01:10I know.
01:10Get your liver ready.
01:12Get it ready.
01:12Are you a sipper while you perform?
01:14Yeah.
01:15Well, I feel like, you know, I guess I get like my –
01:18I sing and my throat gets real dry, I guess,
01:21and whiskey helps with that.
01:22Oh, really?
01:23It sure does, doesn't it, everybody?
01:25Lemon and tea I've heard as well, but not as fun.
01:26Lemon and tea, but it's not as fun.
01:28No, it's not.
01:29Yeah.
01:29When you do these kind of, you know, these guitar poles,
01:31I love these formats, man, because it's just no holds barred, unscripted.
01:35I feel like y'all can just be yourself.
01:37Yeah.
01:37And I know the produced stuff is fun, but do you ever come with a song,
01:41maybe cover a song that people go, whoa, you're about to cover that?
01:44Is there like a surprise thing that you have in your arsenal, surprise song?
01:46I think it's not.
01:47There's one song that's not released, and I've been playing it out,
01:52and people really seem to be digging it.
01:54And we recorded in the studio a while back,
01:57and I cannot wait for these fans to get it.
01:59So I think I'm going to play that one.
02:00So they're going to hear music that they've never heard before?
02:03Yeah, I think so.
02:03Unless you're a cult fan, which you probably already know.
02:06Unless you're a 12-year senior at some college,
02:09and then you already know it.
02:11Well, really appreciate you being here.
02:14How would you describe the last year?
02:16I mean, because social media, whenever your name comes up,
02:20I mean, it's like a fire.
02:22I mean, it just takes off.
02:23It's just this past year has been the best year of my life, seriously,
02:26from learning so much on the road,
02:29out on the big stage with Luke and Cole.
02:32And, man, I've just taken it all in,
02:35seeing places I've never seen before, getting to record music.
02:39And, like, you know, I call it like a big boy tour, big boy studio.
02:44You know, it's like the real deal, and I'm just soaking in all of it.
02:47It's pretty surreal.
02:48I'm just thankful.
02:49Do you ever take a break?
02:50We've got Thanksgiving coming up.
02:52I mean, you're on a hot streak right now, I swear.
02:54So my friend Casey is obsessed with you, by the way.
02:56She's one of the cult girls from Georgia that's somehow still in college,
02:59it seems like, even though she's not.
03:02Really, Casey?
03:03Really?
03:04Really?
03:04No, I love you, Casey.
03:05I love you.
03:06Oh, there you go.
03:07She's probably screaming right now.
03:08You have no idea.
03:10But I swear, it's like every other weekend, she goes,
03:12so do you want to go see John Langston down at Fort Myers?
03:14Do you want to go see him in Gainesville?
03:16Do you want to go see him in Orlando?
03:17I'm like, is he ever not in Florida?
03:19What's going on?
03:19No, we've just been really blessed with getting to go all over the place.
03:23We've been staying busy every single weekend and coming to see these fans.
03:26And, man, it's just been fun.
03:28It's been fun to see everybody.
03:29Going to be a lot of fun tonight.
03:31Thank you all for being out there.
03:32John Langston is ready to tear this up with everyone else.
03:34Thanks for being at the Guitar Pool.
03:36Yeah.
03:36Yeah.
