Transcript

00:00On the phone right now is a guy we usually talk about music with, but we get to talk to him about a cool bar that he's open,

00:05bringing a little country flair to downtown St. Pete.

00:09On the phone right now, and one of the owners of Welcome to the Farm, Chase Wright!

00:14Chase Wright!

00:15What's up, man?

00:16Good, y'all.

00:17Well, I just got back from Mexico last night.

00:22We were doing Crest McPly, and now I'm back to work this morning.

00:25The hesitation in your voice sounds like you're still kind of putting it all together from Mexico, right?

00:30Yeah, I'm not all there right now.

00:32Craziest thing you saw at Crash My Playa.

00:36I mean, you know what? He posted something pretty crazy, I thought.

00:40Your shotgun challenge was pretty good.

00:43The shotgun challenge was good.

00:44There was something I was trying to think of earlier, but I think it's something that God just blessed me with forgetting.

00:51Blessed me with forgetting.

00:52That's always a good thing to look at.

00:53Yeah, probably.

00:54Yeah, it looked like a good time down there.

00:56There was a lot of different groups of people and stuff like that.

00:59It was really cool to see, like, just different ages of crowds and stuff.

01:02There was, like, grandmas partying on shoulders.

01:04It was crazy, man.

01:05I love it.

01:06Wow.

01:07Well, let's talk about it.

01:07You're going to be here, first off, April 28th, Janice Live doing a show.

01:11But tonight, you're going to be at Welcome to the Farm, new bar in downtown St. Pete, man.

01:15I love that you're bringing this to St. Pete.

01:18Yeah, we've done one in Cleveland, Ohio, which is where my dad's from.

01:22And then I grew up in Daytona.

01:23So, we've got where our families grew up, pretty covered right now.

01:29And, yeah, I don't know.

01:29The one in Cleveland was just doing so well.

01:31We wanted to expand pretty quick.

01:33And they found that venue right there in St. Pete.

01:37And it just made sense.

01:37I'm from down there in Florida.

01:39So, let's go down to where I grew up, or near it anyway.

01:43And, yeah, Janice, I've played Janice Live.

01:46You know, so I'm familiar with the area.

01:47And I'm excited to finally see the spot done for the first time.

01:50Well, it's kind of cool.

01:51You're talking about what it looks like.

01:53It's modeled after something that's really important to you, right?

01:56Yeah, it's after my farm.

01:57Like, even the inside, the coloring, what my actual house looks like.

02:03I got buffalo on my farm here in Tennessee.

02:05So, we got that vibe going on in there.

02:08It's just everything.

02:10I mean, I think there's a Carolina helmet.

02:11I need to get some Florida State, Florida, Miami helmets in there.

02:14But, yeah, it looks just like my farm here in Tennessee called Twin Eagles Creek Farm.

02:19It's a buffalo ranch that I live on.

02:21And that's what we based it off of.

02:22The guys came out and saw it, took pictures, and it looks just like my place.

02:26Do you kind of design these for your liking, like a place that you like to play at?

02:31Not necessarily the way I like to play.

02:33If it was up to me, I'd have my own dressing room and all that stuff.

02:36I'd have a bus parking where my, like, I would be a little more bougie with it.

02:42But we did do a good job of just making it nice.

02:46I mean, everything in there is first class.

02:48These guys are really, really good at details.

02:54And I, yeah, I mean, when it comes to sound, lighting, and all that, we wanted it to be a good live show.

02:59When people come in there with their acoustic guitar, full band, we wanted it to sound good.

03:02We wanted it to feel good, and we wanted everybody to have a good time, so.

03:04So this is a place you're going to be bringing acts in then, too?

03:08Oh, yeah.

03:08Yeah, I mean, it's live music.

03:10That's what it is.

03:10It's bringing, if anybody's been to Nashville, you got all the bars and all the country music things in Nashville.

03:16I didn't really, I wasn't really interested in doing that.

03:19It's just been done so much.

03:20We wanted to kind of go out to the places that I love and bring Nashville and live to them.

03:27And that's what it is in St. Pete.

03:28Very good.

03:29I love it.

03:29Talking to Chase Rice right now.

03:30Excited to see you, dude.

03:31Janice live April 28th, but tonight, VIP party.

03:36Now, I've heard some rumors, Chase, that you're going to let us get a couple people in right now.

03:39Is that right?

03:40Let's go.

03:42By the way, that was clear to somebody else, so that's why I was saying it to you.

03:47All right, cool.

03:48Well, we're going to get two people in for the VIP party tonight, man.

03:51We appreciate the invite as well, and we're excited.

03:54Welcome to the farm, downtown St. Pete.

03:56Chase Rice, thanks for making it happen here, man.

03:58Yeah, thank you, guys.

03:59I'm excited to finally get down there.

04:00It's going to be a good night.

04:01All right, brother.

04:02Appreciate you, man.

04:03Thanks, y'all.

04:03All right, see you.
