I do want to talk about the lifestyle of “A Bar Song (Tipsy.)” So what’s a night out with you? What’s something people wouldn’t expect from a Shaboozey night?

Shaboozey
What I love about that song is how many different communities and how many different places the songs touch. You know, I go to 11 in Miami, and everyone’s singing the song, and then I go to a small little bar in the middle of, you know, I mean, you know Montana, you know, Missoula, and people are playing it, so to be known from, like, from those spaces to those spaces, that’s what it’s always been about, just introducing music, or a type of music people wouldn’t expect to hear in one place and see people to, you know, vibe into it and having a good time, and, you know, getting tipsy.

Tetris Kelly
I like how you were kind of dropping those different cities in the vibes. Before we’re done, I’m gonna name a city. Then you tell me a bar in that city that you love, like your favorite, please.

Shaboozey
Let’s do it.

Tetris Kelly
Oh, that’s a good one. OK, we’re talking about Nashville. What’s your Nashville spot?

Shaboozey
Man, Nashville spots gotta be, that’s a good one, that’s a good one, that’s a good one. It got to be a Schulmans.
