the world to me. Thank you. Now let's get into it. Hey, everybody. Welcome to Off the Vine. I'm your host, Caitlin Bristow. And today we have the lovebirds in the house. I'm glad you both came. Chris and Lauren Lane. And we talk all about your album that's coming out, June 20th. We talk about what parenting is like and how there's baby number three on the way. Who's the good cop? Who's the bad cop? We talk about it all. So enjoy our conversation. I'm so hyped to have you both here. this is so exciting you have new music coming out yes you have new baby coming out that's so exciting we just found out it's not mine though oh okay so it's a little awkward hopefully it's your twins and then it still looks like that was good that was good thanks um we're going to talk about

your music but first i do want to talk about baby number three because first of all it's my dream to have three children that will never happen for me because i'm almost i'm 40 in like 10 days and he's 40 i did freeze my eggs So there's that. You're 40 already? Plus twins, you can knock two out at the same time. That's what, okay, that's what I'm thinking. Yeah.

Because my girlfriend, Jen told me, she's like, just so you know, the older you get, the more chances you have getting twins and I was thinking about you. You're still young, though. How old are you? How old am I? 35. Oh, is that considered geriatric pregnancy at 35? If a doctor didn't say one or the other, so I don't actually know.

I haven't been more frequently, so. What's a geriatric pregnancy? Basically making us feel older than we should. should because your body's supposed to like, supposed to make a baby in like your early 20s. And I think the older you get, the less eggs, the more this, this complications. Yeah. But I think at 35, it's like a geriatric. Technically, I think you're right.

But yeah, nothing has been different so far. So I actually don't know the answer to that. But she did tell me at my last appointment because I was telling her how rough this pregnancy has been. Oh, no. It's been by far the worst one. It's definitely a girl that if it's a real pregnancy. Okay, go on, go on.

It's been by far the worst. Although every pregnancy has been bad. and she kind of echoed the fact that a lot of the time pregnancies get worse as you go on, which to me is counterintuitive. You'd think they would get easier. Like your body's done it before. Yeah.

But she said, no, oftentimes they get worse. And so I was like, well, maybe it's just because I'm like getting older kind of thing. And she was like, I'm not going to like argue with you on that one.

Oh, great. I'm really going to feel like shit then. But she was like, if it makes you feel any better, I have a 52 year old right now who's pregnant. Oh my God. Well, I think about like,

Janet Jackson was 55. Yeah. Yeah. So I would not feel, don't let, I feel like you're technically still young, like truly, like, yeah, I don't know, hopefully in the next couple years. I don't know. I just keep talking about it. Like five years ago, I didn't even think I was going to have children. And now I'm like, I think I really do be wanting kids. And then you want three kids. And then you. Did you want three kids? What was the exact words when you said, when you found out you were pregnant, were you like, because you know that when you have sex, that creates a baby. We didn't know that at the time. Were you like, do you watch your cycles, like you knew where you were at? So I track my cycles, but I kind of fell off the wagon with doing the temperature thing, which is a very important piece because obviously like our bodies are, tend to be linked up in a cycle, but the cycle can still differ like a few days here and there.

And I was not taking my temperature or wearing my aura ring like I had been or should have been. But I did ovulate like significantly earlier. No. I can't control. What? Did you guys want a third? I think we kind of differ a little bit in the sense of Lauren, yes, 100%.

No, I would not. No, no, no, no, no. She grew up with four siblings. I did not 100% want a third, though. I was just like, I didn't know either way. Because so many people are like, you will know because you'll feel like either someone's missing. I didn't feel that. Or you will feel complete.

I also didn't necessarily feel that. So I truly was like, I don't know. Whereas he was like, no, we're good, but two. I mean, it's WWE in our house all day every day. Yeah, you're now going to be officially outnumbered and it's going to be. Yeah, but if you're, okay, do you know, I know you're not sharing the sex of the baby, but do you know? We do know the, oh, how exciting. We just, when was that a couple of weeks ago?

Are you just going to announce when it's born or? No, I think we'll do it before that. Yeah. Because I feel like otherwise I'll accidentally say or something. Did you do a gender reveal and then now you're like, when do I post it? We did it, yes, like with the boys, more so just because we wanted. I saw the boys ones. Yeah.

Or like we did a gender reveal for this baby with just us two and the boys. My assistant, Call one, who's wonderful. She like got cupcakes. Yeah. We like been into them together. But we did it with the boys just because we feel like they would have been really excited. Yeah. Do they get what's going on?

Yes. I think they did. A baker, I don't know if our two. Yeah. Yeah. Every time we talk about Holly does, yeah. The baby in my belly baker points to hit. his belly. He's like, I have a baby. I was like, no. So he doesn't feel like hilarious. I know

because I feel like two. Three is always my favorite because they're officially like a personality. Two, they're like really getting there. And then three, they're like just having crazy conversations with you. And you're like, oh, you're a human now. Yes. And asking like good questions. Yeah. Whoa. I actually don't even know how to answer that question. But it's like a really good question. Do you know what my favorite thing is with Chandler, who's my godson? Uh, anytime he's in the why phase. Like why? Why? And so. I'll say so many times and then on the last why when I can't do any more whys I go why do you think and then he was like whoa why do I think and it makes him think and then he has an answer

and he stops asking why he goes well probably because there's a lot I'm like you're right oh yeah it's really sweet you're going to be a great mom I like that's a good I'm going to steal that that ask them why do you think well I stole it from one of my best friends brie because she does that to her kids and really makes them think, and then they come up with their own answer, and then they stop asking why. Yeah. It's crazy. Yeah. A little trick. A little hack, if you will. Take it from geriatric Caitlin over here. So you saw the pregnancy test and were you like, I just had a feeling. Yeah. Yeah. I, yes. You're like, it could have been a feeling. It could have been me throwing up every morning. I started getting a little bit queasy, but this was at like three and a half weeks.

Like I was, I should not have had symptoms, but I just had this weird feeling. But also like, And then I got the weird feeling. I'm like, oh, no, I don't know. We just both kind of knew. I know this is going to happen, yeah. Really? But I feel like, okay, so with the cycle tracking thing, I feel like we were being safe, but we probably like could have been safer.

But yes, I did audulate. At least you know you have a healthy marriage. I did ovulate early. No, here's the deal is without giving too much information, but I should have known. There was like a 24 to 30-some hour window where Lauren could not keep her hands off of it. Ah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I was like, what is, I was actually sick. Yeah. And I'm like, what is going on right now? Like, you were, you had a cold. What is that phase called? Yeah. You were ovulating, obviously, but is it? I should have also, but sometimes like that happens, I don't know.

Like, sometimes that can be like a wider window for me. So I was just like, okay, well, we're fine. We're still five days out from it. So I was like, but anyways. Yeah, you know, you asked, am I fine? You're going to have this baby and be like, how did we ever, like, think of not having a third? That's how it always is, right? 100%.

That's how it was with our second that was on point in the way. You guys got to figure this out. Are you going to have five? What would we do without Baker in our life? Right. It's the best. What is the difference between Dutton and Baker's personality? I mean, they are like ying and yang in a lot of ways, but also very similar.

But Baker is probably your typical second warrant. He's just very. Really? Yes. Yeah. But also a scary cat. I call him our scaredy cat, because he's also, like, scared of a lot more. Dutton's brave in some ways, but I would say socially,

Baker's just like hops right in, joins right in, because he has an older brother to watch. Caution's kind of cautious. He walks into situations a lot more cautious to where Baker will, like. Bull and a China shot. Yes, he's ready to go in any situation. Guns a blazing. Just like yesterday, I was, we played, or I played Riverfront, and they came out, and it was Dutton's birthday, so I was going to sing, have the crowd.

sing happy birthday to him he had an absolute meltdown baker couldn't wait to come up on stage oh really that was a good uh indication of their uh personality that's oh that's so sweet like i like i would have pictured you as a girl mom and now i can only see you as a boy mom yeah i was kind of i don't want to say like a tomboy growing up but like i never danced which is probably why that part of my brain is not active but like i really only played sports and we should cue the uh in the video right now, you should cue a photo that I can send over a Glorne and her basketball out. There is the most distraes.

It's one of the funniest thing I've ever. I actually like, let me forget that. No, like I now I think it's funny, but there was a long period of my 20s, most of my 20s where I was like genuinely so embarrassed by these photos because I just was like an awkward preteen and teenager. Like I didn't wear makeup. I just was like I had arms that looked like I had not an ounce of muscle on me. Like I should not have been playing sports.

But I did. I played sports for the most part. Yeah, didn't really wear makeup, collected rocks when I was younger. Not like a high school. I'm like, nothing going on. A four-year-old is now collecting rocks. I was very to rocks. Like I love to be outside.

So yeah, like honestly, I do vibe with the boy. I feel like I could go either way, though. Like I have both sides. Yeah, I could see that. I could see that. I feel like I only see myself as a boy mom just because I know how I was growing up. And I'm like, I was, I mean, all girls are home. hormonal but yeah my sister and I I mean we were trust me no the playing sports thing didn't

help with the hormonal like aspect you're I'm learning now at this age that we're having kids you're going to be going through like perimenopause well when like the kids are going through their puberty and hormones it's a lot we're all going to be going through it oh no bugle up sir it is true a few writing sessions so you're gone for the week I feel like yeah with girls I feel like it's more directed towards the mom, like the angst, the teenage angst. Yes. I wonder, is boys directed towards dad? No, boys are just sweet, I feel like.

So it's just not as much there. I don't remember ever going through it. I mean, we just played sports growing up. So I don't remember ever going through any kind of weird phase where. Well, you went through a weird face, but just in a different way. I mean, probably like weird looks phase for sure. I want pictures of both of you from what. Did you, you played sports too?

Oh, yeah. Okay, I need both. Christmas was so cute in high school. Really? It definitely would have pursued. You were so cute. Aw. Were you scared at one point that you guys could have twins because you're a twin?

Well, I feel like with this pregnancy, I did get a little scared because Lauren started showing very quickly. And I'm like, this is either a huge child or there's more than one in there. And I was so sick that I actually was a little. Yeah, it was just different than some of the other or other two pregnancies. And especially in the fact that you showed really early, we're like, whoa. Yeah. I hope this is not more than one child. It would have gone from two to four.

That would have been... I mean, you're already... We can't confirm it. It is only one baby, though. Okay, only one. Wait, how old is Dutton right now? He just turned four yesterday. Oh, yesterday?

Wait, when's your birthday? So you're just watching this? I'm June 19th. Yeah. Oh, so you got a Gemini. Yes. And then what's Baker? He's October 16th.

What is October? Okay, October 16th. That means he's Scorpio. Yeah. And dad's a Scorpio. I would say Dutton is. New baby's going to be a Scorpio. Oh, my gosh.

And what are you, Lauren? Aquarius. I don't even know what that means. I don't actually know a lot about it either. But I don't know Gemini's are, isn't it like the two? I watched this Angelina Jolie interview the other day because she's a Gemini. And they were like, you know, we're supposed to be known to have two faces, two different personalities. And she was like, it's more like 20.

And I was like, yes. Okay. Because it's not like good or bad. It's just so many different. I really feel like a true Gemini. I, but I'm also very heavy on the cancer side with like my moon and all that chart stuff is I got a lot of cancer in there. So I'm like very emotional but like very spicy as well. Yeah, it doesn't. I would think he's spicy. And he does have a lot of different like sides to him. And not like you said,

not good or bad. Yeah. Yeah. Some of them are more challenging as a toddler right now. But like I can see will be a good thing as he gets older. But yes, he's very hard to figure out. Who is the parent that lays down the lawn who's like good cop bad cop do you guys or do you have very similar parenting styles i think i am definitely more of the lay down the law like i give them the dad look yeah what does that look like look at the camera and give the dad look um no i feel like you get this like under bite oh it's like the under bite i do that i got an underbite yes no i do that too when i get mad Yeah, yeah. The underbite is so real. The underbite is scary. Yeah. And then what are you?

I mean, Lauren, when she's had enough, she will know. Yeah. But I think I let him, like, sometimes they don't always listen to me. Like, I can ask them four times and they won't. And I'll be like, okay, I'm going to have to go get dad. You know, like, I feel like we're maybe fall into that category a little bit, but. Yeah, or I'll step in and say, you don't want me to get involved in this. you know when you just take on this new personality like when you guys had a baby were you all of a sudden like in dad mode like all of a sudden you're like making dad jokes or like drinking more beer and getting a bell like were you just like transforming into dad or honestly the last three years or four years now I guess it has been have been such a blur just from exhaustion like yeah it is truly hands down the most exhausting thing I've ever done hey because I come in off the road on Sundays. Harne needs a break, but I'm, like, beat from traveling for not sleeping well on the bus.

So then I'm just kind of fighting all week. You know, my kids are excited to see me. And I've got to, like, be up and on and get in the floor, tackle with them, whatever it is. So, yeah, I feel like the last four years for me specifically have been a little bit of a blur. And you're just kind of like making it through, you know what I mean? We're just getting to the point where we felt like there was a. small glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. We can understand what's wrong now.

They can tell us what's wrong. And here we are. We're about to enter right back. Sike. That's crazy. Yeah, I can't even imagine how exhausting that is for both of you. Because even if you have help, you're still being a mom 24-7. You don't get days off as a mom.

No, the kids, as dads, we learn the boys don't, or I guess girls could, are probably the same way. I'm only speaking to my boys, but for those first two years, like, they were just mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, everything. I feel bad for the moms out there. Because you're just a screen door and a submarine. You're just useless out there for a couple years. Yeah. Yeah. You're just like, what do I do? How do you like in, in your relationship as parents, but as a married couple, like work through resentment? Because I always think about things like, because you're at home with the kids, you're on the road. There's no like, it's like, it's like, it's like, you're exhausted when you come back and you're like, but I've been exhausted from doing this.

How do you two work through the resentment to like, because I, what's happened to me in the past is I don't fix those little, I don't repair, they call it, those little rips along the way. And then it becomes big resentment. What do you guys do? That's actually such a good question. I feel like our communication has just gotten better, which then helps. Lauren does tell you, though, my communication needs to still get better. I feel like all of ours.

Like, I feel like, right? At the end of the day, you're always learning as a human. how to better communicate with those around you. And, like, you're always learning about yourself. So, like, until you fully understand yourself, it's hard to be, like, a perfect communicator a lot of the time. But I think for me, though, I know, I know, hey, she's been with the boys for three or four days in a road nonstop.

I've got to step in. No matter how tired I am, I've got to step in and give her a break. Yeah. And whether that's me getting the kids down for two nights in a row or whatever it may be. Just even if it's just to run to the grocery store, doesn't that feel kind of like a break in a way, right? Yeah. Yeah.

I think just sharing more responsibilities because there, but there definitely was that first year was challenging. He was gone a lot. Really? A hundred percent was a lot of resentment, at least on my end and not necessarily fairly. So like he wasn't doing anything wrong. It was just. It happens though.

You can't even help it. Yeah. So I think you just learn, you learn to communicate. And like he said, like I think just taking some of that mental load off my plate of like, the groceries or dinner or me not even having to ask and just like doing has helped a lot because it was just I think I was carrying a lot like most moms do or whoever the primary

parent is I feel like just carries a lot of the mental load yeah zero to one though is is a complete shock to anybody's system right right yes there's an adjustment period yes it's all the unknown all that kind of stuff so yeah it would be easy to resent a little bit because it feels like oh he's out on the road getting to live his dream and, you know, I don't kind of have the responsibilities at home that she would have. So I can understand how that would be the case. That's why I'm like, well, I get home on Sunday, you take the time you need and I'll step in. Right. You still get to have like this fun platform. Do you like doing the stuff that you do at home? Like, because you can still make, I love your videos with the, with healthy recipes and that salad you did that one time. I was like, drool.

No, Lauren is honestly the best cook in the entire world. I just have a absolutely. jackpot when it comes to food yeah yeah she's an incredible cook I mean yes no I enjoy I am by nature homebody so this was never yes that helps tremendously yeah like this was never a oh I wish I was out on the road yeah you know like staying up late like that was never the resentment part of it I think it was really just like the mental load that as parents we all carry but especially whoever the primary parent is when you have a traveling spouse I think that was more what it what it was but yes no I I think just forcing myself to do things like you said like making sure I'm still doing things that I enjoy yeah because sometimes it's easy to put your kids before

everything else yourself included yeah and he is really good at reminding me being like go do this go do this like this is what you're not good about going but I'm getting better yes you're getting better I'm getting better at not worrying so much especially like being actually a way away from the kids, like for a couple nights. I feel like I've gotten better. Whereas two years ago, I would have been like, no, I'm not going. Yeah. So we're getting better.

And so as the husband, I'm like, well, I don't know how to help you then. Like, you have to like just get away for a day or two. Right. But if you can't, can't force somebody to do something that they don't want to do, even if they want to do it. Right. Yeah. That's, it's different when you're a homebody. That's, yeah.

We're both kind of homebodies. I was just going to ask. Because I try. I mean, most of my. my time is spent traveling. I was going to ask about life on tour because you, okay, wait, let's go backwards, because you have a new album, obviously, and you haven't had a new album since, what, 2018?

Yeah, 2018, which is crazy. I think that was the right when we met, too. It was around the time we met, yeah, because it was, I don't know about you. Ah. That's a long time. That's crazy, but isn't it? I used to put, I mean, you were living in L.A. at the time, but, yeah, I think that album was coming out around that time, because I remember anytime Lauren would post something,

I would send her a message with the hard eyes. Okay, first of all, I was not the only girl you were doing that too. So don't act like, this is right. You were really like fighting for it. No, no, no, no, no. You were just handing out hard eyes like candy or what? I already know. I don't even want to see his messages from 2018.

And were you a flirt around that time, too, or were you like? I was actually dating somebody. But no, I... She wouldn't give me any time of the day. Got it. That's not true. No, no, no, no, no. I kept sending them.

You're like, I'm going to be persistent. I wanted to give you the time of day. It was not a good relationship. So I was like, okay, I'm happy that it kind of like made me feel... It helped me actually, being like, okay, there's other fish in the sea. Yeah. You know? And then that was 2018?

Yeah. Yeah. And then I had two of my biggest career songs off that record, take back home girl. And then I don't know about you. Yeah. two career changing songs. And then big plans right after that, obviously, it was years after that, right? 2000, well, 2019.

I remember, see, I cried when I heard that song. Oh, yeah. Because I was like, that is really cute. And then wasn't, did you propose or something? Like, there's a, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I remember crying watching the video. I proposed in her parents' backyard. Yes, I remember this.

I saw the video. I can like see it in my head right now. And I was like, it's crazy. It is crazy. like you had no plans of like that song wasn't supposed to be a single like you wrote the song just for you wanted to write a good song yeah yeah it originally started out as just any normal kind of love song and we never finished the song but I got to thinking about it I'm like I need a unique way if I'm going to propose as an artist I feel like I've got to have a unique way and one of the things

that I'm good at is songwriting and we had like a first verse and course of the song but then my co-writers I was like well I plan on proposing you know probably two or three months four months or now whatever it may be I didn't really have a plan together but maybe we could write a proposal on the song and I could just use this song to propose which is probably not what the songwriters wanted to hear at the time yeah true they're probably like wait a minute we're wasting this song yeah yeah yeah it was never really meant to come out but it is crazy how it it kind of turns turned into a thing and another career-changing song right after I don't know about you. But so yeah, here I am all these years later about to release. I put out a lot of songs in

between but just never made them like a record, you know. Yeah. And it's called Shade Tree. Yeah, Shade Tree. What's the meaning behind that? So the name of the song is called Shade Tree and it's really about my life growing up in Kernersville, North Carolina. And Lauren actually, this ended up being one of her favorite songs. I had wrote this song years and years ago. go and it was just in a folder of songs that I'd written I'd kind of forgot about it and one day she said what is the song I love this song which I don't even I got to listen to it again I'm like yeah it is a great song you're a way to it it's sweet it just takes me like when I listen to it I think it takes anybody back to how they grew up even if it's not identical to the

lyrics of the song and how he grew up it just kind of takes you back to yeah whatever the way in which you're like my version of Rastafelette's Mayberry oh yeah yeah Which is kind of when I got into the studio recording the song, I said that. I'm like, this has to be my version of Mayberry in a way. So Dan Huff, who recorded all of those songs. I'm like, we got to kind of marry what I do, but bring back some of those old Rascal Flats kind of vibes. Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

I was at CMA Fest the other night and I was watching them. And I'm just like, oh, yeah. Raskol Flats. They're just classic. Yeah, they're so good. You toured with them, right? Yeah, I toured with them all year so far. Sold out.

not long ago yeah it was incredible how fun they're so much fun are they all three of them are so full of personality uh aren't they just yes and i'm like they have they get after it and i'm like how do you all have so much energy like i hope to have that level of just like you said charisma personality energy i feel like just when the boys get together on the buzz and you're just like you're just like go out of it i i feel like this is part of my gem and i like i could go like say when i was touring for the dancing with the stars like i'm like i can live the bus life and i'm like going for it and then i'm home and i'm like i think i'm a homebody and then i like i'm like i think i'm a rock star like i like i like just switch personalities at all times like i can just kind of

take on whichever that's good you're flexible yeah flexible yeah i just roll with the punches yeah right i'm not that flexible but i do like i feel like i can take on so many different things i actually just wrote a song about um heartbreak i right you guys all really love songs i write the sad shit. How often are you writing? Are you writing a lot? I want to do it so much more because every time I do it,

I'm like, wow, my cup is full. Yeah. Floweth over. Yeah, it's so fun. Is it like their music? Obviously, I'm not a songwriter, but is it like, help you just sit in that room

and like conversations, there's like nothing off the table. You're so vulnerable. Nobody's judging you for anything. And then you're just like putting it to some music. And I'm like, this is so, it's so cool. I love it so much. I'm like not a, like.

Is that something, you've always wanted to do? So I grew up doing theater and I really liked singing. Like I love singing dancing. That's like my favorite thing in the world is anything theater. Like I go to New York and I'm just like, I love theater. But I never really thought about making music or putting out music until I moved to Nashville. And I was like, this is kind of fun.

I could like take some voice lessons. And then I started taking voice lessons. And then I met people through the songwriting industry. And then I wrote a couple songs. And I was like, I don't like by any means, I'm not like this is my career. But I enjoy it so much. when I did record I actually took a video of me listening to my song back and then I bawled my eyes out watching myself because I forgot I was recording myself and I was just sitting

like that and I was like kind of singing along and I was kind of getting emotional and then I was like you could tell I was like a it looked like I was a proud parent yeah watching her little girl and then I so I'm like my inner child I was so proud of myself because I was like that's a pretty deep song and like I feel like a lot of people are going to relate to it and that's that's another thing like when you finish a song you're just like oh people are going to relate to that like whether it is like your songs are like your kids in a way yeah they really are and and you kind of like I always say this to musicians like you bring so many people together and it might be a complete different story than what you meant but somebody can always find real like a related meeting meaning to it

and it like brings people together and it like makes people feel and I just think it's so cool it is a beautiful day yes and it's like an art I mean it truly is an art when I yes see songwriters like when I just listen to songs I'm just like like because if I try to Chris will be like do you have any song ideas for me and I'm like no like my brain just does not work like that it really is like a talent Lauren accidentally gave me uh but one of my favorite songs I've ever written she accidentally gave me what's home uh what am I supposed to tell the dog I gave you that idea yeah yeah she jokingly said to me one day oh oh oh she was mad oh she was mad at me but I can't even remember what it was but she said if something ever happened

happens to us, I'm keeping Cooper, which is our dog, and I'm like, wait. We only had one dog at the time. We have two now. That sounds like a great song idea. It's country music. How have I never heard that before? Like, couples get a dog together, and then they break up. And then it's like, who gets to keep the dog? Me. Yeah, that's what all girls say. Exactly. So then I wrote that idea down on my phone. I was out on the mower. I'm like, how can I write this song? And I just wrote down on my phone, what am I supposed to tell the dog? Like, the other person that it loves is just randomly out of his life.

Oh, Pino's like, this is a trigger. How does he know? Pino's trigger. He knows. He's triggered. Are we bringing up hard? Yes. Yeah.

He's like, how come I never got the conversation? We'll play you this song. I also heard that you wrote eight of the 12 tracks. Yeah. Which being in a room where I'm like, I could play like maybe, which I guess is they say all you need, but I can play four chords on a guitar. I'm like, I can somewhat sing. I'm not like Carrie Underwood by any means. But when I'm in a room with musicians, I'm always just so inspired because I'm like, you can just write and like do that

and then put it to. It's crazy. Pick up a guitar and be like, let's just do this. I'm so impressed by it. And for you to write eight of the 12 songs, like, is that just part of like you as an artist? You're like, I am a writer. Yeah, I think to my core, when I first came to, town. I had only written songs by myself. It was a very eye-opening experience when I started getting in with, I was kind of lucky right when I first got to town, you know, I was able to go out on tour of Florida, Georgia, Lime, and I was getting the biggest and best rights in town because I was doing everything on my own in North Carolina where I was selling out every single show that I would play. So that's how I ended up getting a record deal and coming to Nashville.

That's so cool. But then I get put into the room with all. these amazing guys who have had, you know, 20, 25, 30 number ones. Yeah. And I realized, oh my gosh, I don't know how to write a song. Like, I was so intimidated. Yeah. Did you speak during those rights? Do you remember?

Not much. I think I was always scared to say something dumb. Yeah. And in the sense of I felt like maybe I wouldn't get the invite back. Yeah. Now that I've learned. You can't be afraid. You can't say anything dumb.

Yeah, you literally can't. You just say anything. 100%. Yeah. 100%. So I wish I had kind of knew that. coming in but I was able to learn fast obviously I knew how to write songs but not in the way that these guys who have had all that success so I was able to learn it's intimidating for sure but that's

that's good that you can like use it as inspiration instead of being like out nothing creative would exist right if people were scared or a feeling dumb or looking stupid because literally like anything new or innovative or creative is like so vulnerable yeah like if people like if you're you didn't do that, we wouldn't have art. We wouldn't have innovations. Like, we wouldn't have iPhones. What are you scared of doing? What are you holding that? I mean, everything? No, I'm just kidding. What is, well, both of you? Is there something, now I'm turning on Mel. Oh my gosh. Is there something that you guys are scared to do that you haven't done? That's so cool. Your mail robbing's in us. Yeah. I don't think so, no. Because I do feel like some people are just the kind of people like

myself too where I tell myself to just do it scared I always say I'm scared I'm going to do it anyways but I'm scared yeah yeah you know and it's a lot of times people will be like I'm just not going to do it yeah so there are and I think that's what actually makes people like you are successful you got to go on this show you got to have this platform you get to like sell things and do what you want and share things online and you're an artist and I think it is to those people who are not afraid to do something scared and outside of their comfort zone kind of like breaks open a new door and puts you in this position and now you've got a new album coming out and we're all very excited about it no i'm so excited obviously like we said it's been 2018 but um i'm so proud of every single

song yeah um i feel like it's my best record i know every artist says this is about the new stuff that they're putting out but i truly do feel like it's uh not because i'm a i'm a writer but uh i just feel like every single song is one of the best I've had yet. That's a huge accomplishment to even feel that way because a lot of people would be like, I've got one or two that might pop, but like to feel like, 12 songs is a lot. Yeah. I mean, I have so many more that I've already started working on, you know, just to get out right after this batch of music, I think is the idea.

How often do you write? I mean, it's probably been at least a month since my last ride at this point. just because I've been in album mode, like all the last finishing touches and social media aspect of it, which feels like it takes so much freaking time. It's just so different than when I first came to town compared to what like is the expectation now. Yeah, what's the difference? That's actually a good question. All the social media into it, but what did it look like before social media?

I think, I mean, radio tours. Yeah, you did a music video to it. You were out on tour. and then you did interviews. Like you go to New York or L.A. and do like a media run of things. Right. A bunch of radio stuff.

Like radio interviews, all that kind of stuff. You would lock out basically a whole week to knock all that stuff out. But now there's just with the social media aspect of it and how it's exploded with TikTok and all this kind of stuff. I mean, as a guy who just turned 40, I'm like, I feel so ridiculous. like doing all this stuff I don't I just did the dance talking about how I got no panties on in a bathing suit

I'm 40 just about you're acting like I'm 50 still It goes back to the don't feel done Don't feel silly though just do it Just lean into the TikToks though You got to I get what you're saying Like you don't want to try to do something It doesn't feel like you You have to find your way of doing it

Yeah it's do you have TikTok Yes do I know how to work it no That's kind of awesome well i think you probably have people that could help you with that yeah yeah i mean i'll shoot the content and then somebody puts it together yeah and because you guys are also so funny together my uh my producer was like ask them if they would ever do a duet together and i was like have you heard lauren sing silent night yeah a duet oh my gosh no the day here's the honest if i can answer this question honestly yes i feel like Lauren kind of has a good voice no i swear like

When I hear her sing, I'm like, whoa, like, she stays in better pitch than I do. Really? I don't even know what pitch is. So I don't know what that means. She can kind of sing. Really? Yeah. So were you just being silly with the silent night?

Like, I mean, with all the technology that they have, with all the technology that they have, like, you would, you could, you know, they can fix any notes. Well, I believe that part of it. So you would sound good. We should do it just for. But then I get on stage or sing live and people would be like, what? It's so funny. Our personalities, like, I am not a performer, Caitlin. Like, I want to be in the audience.

Yeah. I want to be cheering everybody on. Yeah. Drinking a beer. Yeah. But, like, I'm not a performer. Like, the stage is seriously, like, my worst fear. Oh, that's like my happy place.

I'm like, put me on a stage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When Lauren and I first started dating, she used to have to come out on stage all the time because the whole crowd would just be chanting her name nonstop. Which was so nice, but even just walking on the stage and the lights on me, like, oh my gosh, it just feels so. I feel like my skin is crawling. Like, I can't explain it. Like, it's like a genuine fear.

A lot of people have that fear. It's not. Yes. That's pretty normal. There's got a pretty rare that people love a stage. Is that like what it's called? Whatever. I have the opposite.

I'm like attention seeking on stage. Exactly. Like you're energized by it. I live to walk out on the stage. Oh, same. That moment. And like, even yes. No, Saturday, I was hosting a workout for CMA Fest, and the crowd was like so quiet,

and I was like, God the fuck! I was like, whew! Like, that doesn't like, just a workout came here. Yeah, rattle you at all. Jeez, ladies. You're scaring us. Oh, my gosh. Stop it later, you're scaring us.

That's so fun. No, it is, it has to be like an actual personality trait. Like, you either have that or I don't think it's like a learned thing. No, I grew. You're either an entertainer or you're not. Yeah. I mean, I grew up sitting and dancing. loving being on stage.

And I do. Like, obviously being an artist is in your blood. Like, it's, was your brother into it? Yes. I mean, it's honestly kind of weird. Neither one of us played music our entire, you know, we played sports. We played sports and both played college baseball. I had ended up with injuries that kind of hurt my chances at moving on after college.

He got drafted to play. No way. And then I moved home after college, and that's when I had to go back for, one class, so an extra semester for one class to graduate in the four and a half years. And during all my downtime, because I was done with sports, like I didn't have anything going on during the day. So I would practice playing guitar in my room all day long until my hands just couldn't stand playing anymore. Corey, my twin brother at the time, had a girlfriend. So he spent all his time with the girlfriend. I spent all my time working on like learning how to do all this and like,

figuring out how to sing and play it the same time. Wow. So yeah. So you didn't like grow up in the family band and do like the whole thing. Is that crazy? Wow. Wow. This was like early college and then early 20s.

It is kind of a wild story. Yeah, that actually is because I feel like most people like you grow up doing some aspect of music or a lot of people. I love seeing along to the radio. Yeah. I was a huge Kenny Chesney fan. I'd go to all the country concerts and be like, man, this is awesome. Kenny Chessney is the best live. I mean, it was incredible.

My God, I've been to so many of, yeah, so good. And then you were like, I think I could do this. I mean, I never really thought I can do this, but I just enjoyed playing the guitar. And I would learn it every Kenny Chesney song under the sun, every Eric Church, Al Dean, you name it. Like, just my favorite artist. I would sit there and learn their songs all day long.

And then there was this open mic night that we had there in Charlotte, where I went to school on Wednesday nights. And I'd go up there and, all the sorority girls who'd be like, oh my God, you're so good. Like, you should do something with this. And you're like, and I let one of their sorority sisters come up and sing Taylor Swift. So they come out every single time.

I learned if I let her get up and sing some Taylor Swift songs, they will come out and they'll hype me up the whole time. What made you want to do the open mic night, though? Like you just were like, let me just try this? Yeah, like you got like three or four songs. A buddy of mine on the baseball team would go up there and also do it, and he wasn't that great. So I thought, I mean, I could get up there and do it.

If he can get up there and do it, I could get up there and do it. So the first time I did it, I'd put together like this, I was always really good at putting together mashups. Oh, I love a mashup. And I had this hip-hop. Wait, you should bring that back. Yeah, you should. I had this hip-hop mashup that I came up with that had like 15 hip-hop songs in it,

and I would play it on my acoustic. And people loved it. Oh, yeah. freaking loved it. So every time I'd finish, everybody'd be like, bro, you're awesome. Like, you got to pursue music. And honestly, when I graduated and moved back home, I was like, you know what? I'm just going to start a cover band for fun. And so my twin brother at the time was like, well, I'll learn how to play the drums. He'd never play drums in his entire life. Stop. And he learned. It's so funny. And he learned. And then I just got some shows playing in front of people.

I bet your parents are like grandparents did have it in their blood. They just didn't know it. 100% because that you can't you don't just pick up guitar and drums no I agree form a family band and tour the countryside like that yeah it is pretty crazy how I think just from playing sports though like you learn if you want to do something if you're going to put the time into it you just you work as hard as you possibly can that is an athlete mentality for sure but the way it happened at the end of that I know I said this a little bit earlier but I started that cover band and like three years into that every time I went to play a show and I was playing three or four shows a day like I quit doing landscaping for my dad like I could make money just

playing music yeah so sometimes I was playing four or five times a week you know but for four hours at a time it was insane I can't imagine oh my gosh wait four hours straight like yes well I would take a break but you'd play three sets but it would be a four hour set you know what I mean oh my god wow yeah the same set just three times no no it'd be a different set every single time yeah whoa But I built up such a massive following in the Carolinas, and then I was able to branch out into like South Carolina, Georgia, Florida. Yeah. And when I was playing in front of that many people every night in North Carolina,

I decided that's when I was like, maybe I should write my own music. And that's what ultimately ended up working out. Those songs are terrible. Wait, can we dig up one? How do we find? Tell me like a chorus of one of the worst songs. I don't even know if I've heard them ever. So we need to like find them.

Yeah. They were bad. They were really bad. Back then, I was called Chris Lane Band because I never thought I'm going to get a record deal. I'm going to get signed. I never put Thon into the name. So then when I did get signed, they're like, well, we're going to take the band off the end of the name because it was always just me. You know what I mean? Wait. So was that your pinch me moment when you signed with a record label? You're like, I'm doing it. Well, I think the, I mean, honestly, it kind of, but I think the real moments were when Nashville starts. of flying out to watch me play. Yeah. I'd never even been here before, but people would come up to me after the show saying, I'm such and such.

We've been hearing your name all over town, so we wanted to come see, check it out and see what it was about. Who, like, was it social media spreading it? No, social media wasn't really a thing way back then.

So how did they get wind? Was it like club promoters? Who were like, you should come listening? Club promoters. So all the national acts who had songs on the radio here in Nashville would go play the honky tonks

in these small, towns and a lot of those venues I was playing as Chris Lane band in an unsigned act but I was selling them out by myself so when they would have so that's yeah the promoters really this Chris Lane guy is selling out my club and whoever's coming from Nashville didn't and they've got songs on the radio so that's that's crazy how words started getting around it who's this guy doing doing it all on his own you get you got here from word of mouth that's crazy that is kind of great yeah no social media it was happening back then because Because Brantley Gilbert did the same exact thing.

He has a very similar way that he got signed because he was selling out all those same clubs there, like Coyote Joes and Charlotte, all the big rooms in Georgia. And everybody's like, whoa, like this guy's doing it. Like, when they can attach to something that's already kind of working, it makes it, it makes it, I guess, a lot more appealing to want to sign somebody. That makes sense. That's ultimately how it happened for me. So when I signed there at Big Loud, they immediately put me out on tour of Florida, Georgia Line.

And I'm like, oh, my gosh, this is insane. I can't believe this is happening to me. Yeah, that's, they're huge. Who's like your dream person to, besides Lauren, duet with? Kenny Cheson. Oh, yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, I mean, I would love that. I think outside of country, I got to do, I was a huge Tory Kelly fan.

and to be able to get her on tapeback home girl was massive for me. Oh, yeah. When we would play The Tonight Show or Fallon, we did quite a few of those. I would always be, she'd make me so nervous because I'm like, I do not belong in the same vocal category as her. She is, and that, like, can you even believe that? Like, oh, when I was doing the Fallon show with Torrey Kelly, like, what? Just casual.

It's so cool. Yeah, to come from Kernersville, North Carolina, doing what I was doing, playing at little restaurants. you know, in the very beginning. To know how all this happened is weird. Like, it's crazy to me. I always try to remind Chris, because I feel like as an artist or any creative,

or just any driven person, it's easy to think of what's next instead of what you've done. Or like focus on where you want to be versus like almost you're just so focused on the future that you forget how far you've come kind of thing. Yeah, I think that's easy for anybody to happen too. But I think especially in music, like there's always someone new and it's just like it is a lot but I feel like even just the story

you just told it you should be so proud yeah that's crazy I think I am proud but at the end of the day I mean you always want to make that next big step in your career every I mean it doesn't matter if it's music or whatever you're doing you always want to be moving forward I think that's a natural feeling that anyone would feel no matter what they're doing yeah you said this album is more you than anything you've ever put out before what does that mean and what does that symbolize to you I think more me in the sense of because with my first two records, I only wrote maybe three or four songs because I was out on tour so much back then and grind, like in between radio shows, touring, I didn't write a ton back then. So thankfully, I was getting pitched a lot of great outside songs, but for this record, I got to put every ounce of myself into it and kind of take my time and just make it. me. I mean, I feel like Shaitree is just, again, it feels like one of those songs that,

A, is about the way I grew up, but also is the reason that I'm the husband that I am, the man that I am, the father I am, all these kind of things, which also played into the relationships that I had before Lauren, you know what I mean, and how I handled those things. So I think a lot of the songs just kind of reflect that. That's cool. I love the storytelling of music. Is there a song that you either have as a favorite or you're like, people are are going to be surprised by this one or love. That's a good question.

You're really pumping my tires on this podcast. You keep being like, great question. I'm like, thanks. Pumping my tires? Thank you. That's a great question. I mean, honestly, like, I feel like I love all of his music. And then I also like, if he'll be like, what do you think of this?

I'm also honest too. So any song. She's definitely honest, whether I want to hear that or not. And not in a mean way, but I'll be like, yeah, it's not my favorite. But like, so I'm honest. So every obviously song on this album I love. have always liked. I love Shade Tree because I think, like I said,

it kind of is nostalgic for anybody. No matter how you grew up, it just takes you back to your hometown and whatever it was that shaped you as a person. But also it takes me to his hometown, which I love, and I'm not from the South. So, like, just the imagery in the song and the lyrics, just I love it because it really is like...

You kind of found that one. I love that song so much, but... I mean, I probably would have never accidentally never recorded that song. You write so many songs that sometimes you lose sight of ones that you've written that are honestly great songs.

So if it wasn't for her, I would probably accidentally skip that one and never even remember that I wrote it. Does she get 10%? Yeah. She should, yeah. Directly. That's, yeah, directly, I guess.

There's also randomly, I guess this might be a surprise because obviously we're happily married, but there's a breakup song on there that I like too. I truly like every single song. That's cool. I die before you is so good.

and obviously that's very personal and kind of reminds me of just like how much we love each other but I really like a breakup song on there called Whiskey Wanted. It's a breakup song, right? Lauren does like that one. Which I'm not going through a breakup but I love it.

So I'm excited to hear your breakup song. I love a breakup song. No, I do. I mean, look at Taylor Swift. They're all breakup songs. I could be in the happiest relationship and I'm like. Same.

Yeah. Because everyone's been through a breakup. Yes. Like the song that I'm putting out, everyone will be like, been there. Yes. It's, well, and if you haven't, you're very lucky.

But true, you know, it's even this year and you say, like, it reminds me of how much we love each other. I'm like, that's really, that's sometimes in marriage, though, you need to be reminded. Well, yes, not even marriage, just relationships in general. I mean, they're hard. Relationships are hard. And then last question is, are you more nervous or more excited to put this out after such a long gap? A little bit of both, but I think mostly just excitement. Like, I think these songs are really going to, I pride myself on putting together.

a really good show. Like after watching my favorite artists all these years put on his concerts, like I've been able to piece together my set. Like I'm like, what would Kenny Chesney do? Yeah. So I feel like my bread and butter

of my artistry is my live show. Yeah. And I think a lot of these songs are really going to help my live show take it to the next level. That's cool. Yeah. So the album comes out June 20th.

June 20th. and then are you going to be going on tour? Yeah, so I'm kind of doing fairs, vessels, which is what most artists do for the summers. And then for the fall, yeah, I'll just continue touring. I've got four shows the week. This comes out, three of the next. So taking it back to the early days when you released the record,

you're just out on the road. You're playing it in front of people. And just taking that approach for the fall and then figuring out what to do for next year's well. Yeah, minus November. November, it'll be, it'll be, Daddy needs to be home time. Thunder, yeah.

So November, when is your due date? November 12. November 12th, okay. And my birthday is November 9th. Ooh, so yeah, a lot of Scorpio in the house. Okay, crazy. Watch out. Yeah, watch out.

I was like, my, I said that was the last question, but one more thing is I want to know about these characters that you're doing on, what are these characters that you're doing? On social media. What is this? I mean, honestly, it was, it all, happen because my team's like, bro, like you got to get on social media. Like you got to be doing, you know what I mean? Like keeping up with everybody's doing social media stuff. Part of the biz now.

Yeah. And so as an attempt to try to do something that is just more my personality, like I can't, I can do like one or two seeing to the camera videos, but I, I personally just don't like that. Yeah, fair enough. I can't like make myself want to do that. Like you don't feel connected to that. I don't feel connected to that kind of content. I respect that you don't do what doesn't feel you, though, because that comes across so easily on social media. I mean, how many people are out there trying so hard and you're like, I'm getting gicky hebie-jeebies because you can see through that shit. So I like that you are staying true to yourself. Yeah.

Yes. I will always do that. There's no doubt about it. But yeah, it just came on the whim of, I'm like, well, what can I do to show my personality? And so I kind of just, there was no plan. I had no character in mind. I just grabbed crap out of my closet. And the two girls that helped me shoot content for songs, I'm like, all right, well, just film me and let's see if anything happens.

So the first thing I ever did was the shot, the guy who was the oil change guy, whatever you call that, like the car. Mechanic. Yeah, right? Oh, yeah, the mechanic. And to see how much interaction that guy. not only from fans, but from a lot of other artists. I'm like, whoa. Like, that hasn't happened in a long time.

So then I turned into the 90s baseball dad because I had those pair of shorts and shave my sideburn. Like, I didn't have it. You committed to the bit. Yeah, committed to the bit, but I didn't have a bit in mind. I just said, let's go out and shoot something and piece it together. Yeah. But I feel like you gathered inspo from people. that you knew in your life, right?

Like your dad? Oh, yeah, I was, the reason it became so easy for me is because I was pretending to be my dad. It's like I didn't want to say it like. Yeah, I was pretending to be my dad. So it made it very simple, but. That's hilarious. It's like the funniest.

Like I wish Tony Lane could be sitting in my spot right now. Like your podcast, number one in the world. He's like seriously the funniest, but he's not trying to be funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what makes it funny. Oh, I would have a field day with, I love when people don't try and be funny and they're just hilarious. So, yeah, it all just stem from that and trying to put something out on social media.

And enjoy. I feel like you were like, if I'm going to have to do this, I want to at least enjoy whatever. Yeah, that's fun. Yeah. It's fun to show your personality on social media and not feel like you're doing something like that isn't authentic. Yeah. So then fast forward like, you know, weeks after all of that, it was Halloween. and I went to go do a show in Birmingham for one of the radio stations.

There was like six of us artists on the show. Yeah. And I decided to dress up as this like 90s guy with the same burns that I'd shaved in my face and just had on that like old cowboy style shirt, black jeans, snake skin, boots. Yeah. And cigarette hanging off my lip because that's my dad to a day. He just always had a cigarette no matter what. And Zach Topp was on that show.

And he was like, whoa. Like, is this the new Chris Lane? And I was like, no, no, I'm just trying to be funny. He's like, dude, I like, we got to give this guy a name. So then he was like, you look like your name would be Casey Leroy. Okay. So then I was like, honestly, I kind of like that. Casey Leroy is.

He's like, you got to do something with this guy. So then I sparring, I used that and gave the guy a name. And the hardest part about shooting all of that is if I shave this, it doesn't grow back fast enough. So when I do that, I've got to, like, commit. You really do commit. Lauren thinks I look disturbing. She hates it. There's got to be a way where we can, like, glue on some hair.

Yeah. It glue on some hair. Yeah. Then it would feel inauthentic. Yeah. You act like it's just me. You're a little bit anal about your facial hair and your hair when you're playing shows. Yeah.

Honestly, I wanted to keep the burns. It was a, a different bod. Oh, yeah. I like, yeah, burns are just, don't do it. She'd see me and look like, no, no, no, not the burns. And be like, please, can you just please shade that? People hair is such a thing, though. Like, it really does make her break a face, you know?

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they were like the long side burns that, like, go down to here. It was a, it was a lot. The chops. Yeah, the chops. Oh, yeah. My dad still rocks a mustache, and if he ever got rid of it, I would cry.

Yeah. I like a mustache. Yeah. Yeah. I love a mustache. Yeah. It doesn't matter what the age is. So where can people find the new album, your tour dates?

Do you have like a website? Yeah. Obviously go to your social media. Yeah, yeah. I mean, mostly on social media, but for tour dates and all that kind of information is usually I amchrislane.com, I believe. Amazing. I'm so excited to hear it. Thank you very much.
