Full of Sass, Kaylin Kole is back in the Lair on Max Ink Radio

live in the layer with Kaylyn Cole from Portage, Wisconsin to natural Tennessee.

This is the story of a natural born performer who at 11 started her musical career,

her savvy social media presence, curly hair and energetic performances are captivating

audiences as Kaylyn continues on a path to success.

Kaylyn Cole, welcome to the layer on Maxing radio.

Hello.

I'm so excited to be here yet again.

We're excited to have you here.

I've been always a fun time.

You know, the last couple of weeks here in the layer have been just a whirlwind.

You know, we've had a 14 piece male ocopella group in here.

I know.

I heard a crazy secret menu was here.

And now you're here.

Well, thanks.

I'm very flattered.

So I just find out the layer.

You know, you've been like living like a rock star, right?

Back and forth between, between Wisconsin and Madison right now.

Yeah.

And you got here at like three in the morning.

Yeah.

I drove throughout the night.

I work a nine to five.

So I got done close my computer, already had myself packed up.

And I hit the road last night, got here at three a.m.

Well, you know, Taylor Swift, she says jet lag is a choice.

What do you say?

I'm just trying to be like her.

I'm trying to be like Taylor.

Nothing wrong with that at all.

Yeah, exactly.

Now, Kaylyn, your love of music starts before you started to perform.

How did you get started in music and how old were you?

When you knew it would be your lifelong career?

Well, I graduated early in high school at 17, like a whole semester early

because I wanted to save money up to move to Nashville.

So I guess I really made the decision to do this or try to do this full time,

like around 16 or 17 because I was in a couple of bands and I really enjoyed,

you know, the music presence here and just, you know, playing live shows with the

bands, but just making my own music was another goal of mine.

And I just was like, that has to be a Nashville.

So, and your parents had to be on board, though, yeah, they want you to go to college.

And you're like, you know, I brought it to them.

And they were just like, we kind of knew, you know, like they weren't surprised

that I didn't want to go to college.

That kind of wasn't my route.

And they've been fully supportive, which is amazing.

Yeah, that's that makes it a lot, a lot better for you.

What was the, the de-drawdy musical influence to you or give you any musical influence?

My family?

Yes.

Actually, no.

So, the only person who really sung in my family was my great grandma, but she's just

saying in church, you know, she rocked it out, but I just, my dad, not anything.

Like, he was a DJ.

So, how did you catch the bug?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

I think, I think it was because of my uncle, he, you know, was in a band during his,

like, early 20s and I just looked up to him.

I was like, you are a rock star and I want to be like that someday.

Did you, did you listen a lot of radio?

Um, I, so not radio, but my dad was a DJ and so he just had stacks of CDs.

Yeah.

Okay.

And so we'd pop him in in the car on the way to wherever we were going and I'd just be

singing along.

Who's not even knowing the lyrics?

Well, there it is.

There is how you caught the bug.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was the bug.

Singing in the car.

Because I'm a dad.

Yeah.

Was he a radio DJ or a party DJ?

Um, he had like a, I believe if I'm not mistaken, he had like a small college station that

he worked at.

He also did like, um, weddings and other events on the weekends too.

So.

What was your first instrument, uh, this bad boy?

Well, actually, no, not the guitar, uh, the flute.

I was a floutist in high school.

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

I also played the pic, though.

Not well, though.

Not telling you it wasn't, it wasn't great, but those are the hardest, those are the hardest

instruments to play.

Yeah.

It was fun.

I know.

I was just, you know, people always ask me how many instruments do I know and I kind

of forget about that one because I can't sing and play it at the same time.

If I find a way to do that, though, that I think will put me on the map, but you play

keys, right?

Yeah.

I play keys too.

Okay.

Do you ever pick up the flute anymore?

Um, well, one day at pet band, which, you know, was for, um, the basketball team, uh, I

was just, I decided to put my flute on a mic or a music stand and the basketball hit

it and it broke.

Oh, no.

So I don't have a flute anymore killed by the basketball.

I fake played.

I'm so sorry, Mr. Shaver.

That's my band director.

I fake played for the last like four months in high school.

The truth comes out.

The truth comes out.

The truth is out.

Good.

They get to have any solo.

Flute solo is in that time.

Exactly.

I was like, are you sure?

Wow.

So what was the first show that you really kind of, you know, how old are you and what was

the first show when you sat back and you said, wow, you know, look at all these people.

Yeah.

Um, I would have to say, um, I was at the Jefferson County Fair.

So Jefferson isn't too far from here, actually.

Really?

It's like a small town, you know, one of my best friends, she's from there.

Um, and we got the opportunity to sing at their fair in the summer and people showed

up.

It was insane.

These small towns, you know, some people overlook them.

I don't like they people are very passionate.

They're just like music.

Let's go.

Small town festival.

And I love it.

I love it.

It's absolutely amazing.

And, um, so we were in Jefferson and I have a video on my phone that I can show you guys

later, but these people were just like the main act.

People were walking from the main act to our tent and they packed the tent out and I was

like, holy crap.

This is real.

And how old were you at that time?

I think I was 17.

That's amazing.

Yeah.

I was 17.

Just a little baby.

Well, you know, and musicians, they usually find each other by posting in like one answer,

you know, web, web forums, but you were discovered by making a lot of noise at karaoke

competitions.

Tell us how you parlayed karaoke to touring regionally in a full-fledged band.

Yeah.

So I don't know.

I've always felt like I've had this natural stage presence.

Um, I don't get, you know, two of my head about it.

I'm just doing what I love.

And, um, I guess that's just allowed me to have more opportunities.

So being in karaoke, like I did karaoke competitions starting at literally 11 years old at

a small town in Alma Center, Wisconsin, which has like 400 people there, um, started

there, grew into talent competitions just with, you know, singing to tracks and everything.

But someone, um, found me for this band called Shotgun Jane, which was a regional band.

And we played all over in like Jane'sville area, like Southern Central, Wisconsin.

Good band.

Yeah.

Really good band.

I love them.

And it was just so much fun.

We had the best chemistry on stage.

And I feel like I have like a natural ear and like, you know, just rhythm in my body

that can allow me to be like, all right, that's when I should sing or whatever.

Cause, um, I guess I guess karaoke helped me with that with the cues and everything.

But I don't know.

I was 16, 17, 18 with that band and it's just so much fun.

And the chemistry on stage was amazing.

Have you ever, have you ever walked away from a karaoke performance, thinking, yeah, that

was a lot better than the original person?

Oh my gosh.

I don't know if I should admit that or not.

I think you are.

Because now we know, now we know where's the song.

I know.

I know.

You're going to get me in trouble, Jimmy.

Um, I would say a couple of them.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I would.

For sure.

What's one of them?

Um, I would say, oh man, there's going to be a lot of people that hate me.

Um, I would say at last by Ed a James, I do like my own like, Jazzy version.

Yeah.

And I just really enjoy it.

I love Ed's version.

Beyonce has a version.

Sure.

Yeah.

Um, they're all great.

But I don't know.

That's the cool thing about music is that you can take one song.

Yeah.

So you can make it your own.

And people are like, wait, that's the same song.

So it's pretty awesome.

Well, speaking of songs, let's get to some my music in the layer with Kaylen Cole presented

by the Aaron Weber group.

Um, the first song you have for us tonight, it's called working on it.

If this song is actually finished, wouldn't it be called finished instead?

Yes.

But let me tell you about it.

So I'm going to catch it.

I love rocker.

Um, so working on working on it is basically like, everybody's working on it.

Working on stuff.

You know, we're all trying to be better people every single day, at least I hope so.

Um, I know I am.

And so my friend Lexi Liu, she's a co-writer on it.

She's the other writer on it.

And um, I went into her place.

This is one of our first times writing.

And she was going through a rough patch, you know, and uh, I was going through something

with this boy in Nashville, um, and I was just like, he constantly is just like, yeah,

I really want to do this.

I really want to do that.

All these goals I'm working on him.

But he would just verbalize it and he wouldn't put it into action.

And I was just getting really frustrated with him and I was like, dude, if you say you

want to do it, go ahead and do it, you know, like nobody's going to hold your hand doing

this stuff.

Um, we're all adults here.

And uh, so I told her about that and she's like, you know what, I'm divorcing that guy

right now.

Let's write it.

And I was like, oh, all right.

Perfect.

The person that you wrote the song with, yeah, she was like, this guy is exactly like

that.

So I can relate.

So let's write it.

Wow.

Awesome.

I love Lexie.

Uh, eight, four, four, nine, six, seven, two, seven, eight, eight, four, four, nine,

six party.

Uh, you could call or text right from the civic media happy.

If you think you could do better karaoke than, uh, Caitlin Cole, you better bring it.

Be strong.

She's Caitlin Cole live in the layer on Maxine radio.

You keep on saying you're making changes, but I'm getting tired of waiting around.

I see your mouth moving, but that's all it's doing.

Don't see many reasons to stay in this house.

So you do what you do best.

Well, I'm working on attacking my bands.

You'll just keep working on nothing but jack.

You're going to miss me when you're to see, but I've been long, long gone before that.

There ain't no change in that I made up my mind.

Something you never did time at that time.

I'll be driving down I'm 65.

I'll pull you, keep working on it.

You can't admit it.

You're just a dick.

Did you want to get hard enough?

You're so down.

But I promised this brand out of patience and I'm slamming it.

I pen onto the ground when I'm going to be working on attacking my bands.

You'll just keep working on nothing but jack.

You're going to miss me when you're to see, but I've been long, long gone before that.

I'm not changing that, I'm hit on my mind.

Something you never did, I'm out of time.

I'll be driving down I 65.

You'll keep working on, working on it.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.

Little burn in the bridge was something I didn't want to do.

But I had to when I'm done working on attacking my bands.

You'll just keep working on looking but jack.

You're going to miss me when you're to see, but I've been long, long gone before that.

There ain't no change in that, I'm hit on my mind.

Something you never did, done at the time.

I've been driving down I 65.

Well, you'll keep working on, working on it.

Yeah.

You'll be drinking and I'll be driving when you're working on it.

Very nice.

Caitlin Cole, live in the air, presented by the air and Weber group.

You know, last year, Civic Media's radio station up at Barabu, 997 max FM,

did a radio thon where you donate money and you get to make a request.

You got requested quite a bit in that radio.

What, really?

Seriously, yeah.

That's awesome.

I love to hear that.

You got to get your music on the air plus we raise some, raise some money for some charity.

That's really awesome.

That's even better.

I love that.

Hey, Caitlin, the band's Shotgun Jane and Spitfire Radio and karaoke.

They're all singing other people's music.

But you are a songwriter.

And how do you make the jump from covering songs to standing on your own as a songwriter?

Well, funny enough.

I guess it's just like trial and error.

So the first song that I wrote was actually for my sophomore year boyfriend for his birthday.

He was like, his aunt was just like, you should write him a song.

And I was like, okay, I should or I'll try.

It was good at the time.

But compared to like my songwriting now, it's just such a difference.

And I feel like that's just like everybody sees people's successes.

And people don't see their hard work and their errors behind the doors of, you know,

just hours and hours playing guitar, hours and hours of writing.

And that's just really what you have to do with every single thing in life.

And so, you know, I've just spent time just co-writing and writing by myself.

COVID was a huge time where I was writing by myself.

I don't really write by myself anymore.

I should challenge myself to do that, honestly.

But I write more with like two to three people and at least three to four times a week.

And we're going to be talking a little bit about networking in Nashville a little bit.

But, you know, was that a path that you knew you would take?

I mean, when you were in karaoke, I mean, how young were you when you were like,

you know, I really want to do my own music.

I mean, singing at a James and in shotgun Jane is fun.

Yeah, I think I really just put my mind to it around 16 or 17

because I was continuing to do the weekend shows.

And mom and dad would be there because, you know, I was young.

And that was kind of illegal here having a minor in the bars.

But my parents would tag along.

I don't know, I just, I was like, this is so much fun.

I almost feel like I have the best of both worlds sometimes because, you know,

I get to have those gigs.

I was just in New Jersey with a friend of mine.

And we were having, we played a show at a casino in New York.

And that was so much fun.

And that brought me back to like the shotgun Jane years and the Spitfire rodeo years.

Because I don't really play with a full band down in Nashville.

I do more like writers rounds and some showcases there as well.

And the band that I do have love them.

They're so talented.

But I don't know.

I just, I always felt like I was confident enough to create my own things.

Now, that's what I was just going to ask you.

What gave you the inspiration and confidence to make those bold moves?

I mean, some of the moves you mean you move to a different state.

Yeah.

You, you know, quit these really successful bands to go out on your own.

What's your inspiration?

I don't, honestly, I think my inspiration is just myself.

Honestly, sometimes, I mean, I've got a lot of people that I look up to, like, you know, my family.

And there's a bunch of country music stars like Laney Wilson.

And I mean, Miley Cyrus is also really cool.

I love what she does with her music.

And those people, you know, inspire me to do things.

But I continuously am pushing myself for me just because, you know, you are the only person who is stuck with you for the rest of your life.

So are you going to make yourself happy, yes or no?

Except for your manager.

Do you have one?

No, I don't.

I'm really looking for one.

Yeah.

I'm my own manager.

I booked my own shows in the summer and do all these things.

Yeah.

So it's a lot of work to do.

It is a lot of work.

And I'm grateful for it, though, because it makes it, it'll make it worth it, you know, in the long run.

So that's a great attitude.

It sure is.

Let's get back to live music in the layer with Kaylyn Cole presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The next song you have for us tonight is called 1103.

Is that a time or a flight number?

Oh, that's actually really good.

That's a good idea.

I think I might have to write another song with that.

You'll get 50%.

It's actually a timestamp.

It's a timestamp.

So this song is just a very personal song for me.

It was one of the first relationships that I actually felt invested in for a little bit with this person.

And 1103 was like the timestamp where we started to have a conversation in my car about where things were going.

And things were going south quick.

So yeah, that's kind of the indication.

Oh, it's a heart and pull that your heart strings.

That's for sure.

We'll try not to cry.

Because if rocker and I start crying, you're going to start crying right in the middle of the song.

Yeah, I'll try not to cry too.

Jimmy has a handlebar mustache.

He can't cry anymore.

Oh, my God.

I love it.

Live in the layer presented by the Aaron Weber group.

Kaling Cole is here on Maxing on Civic Media.

It's 1103 in my car.

The truth's coming out when it's pouring down hard in your speaking.

But you're not saying.

The things on your mind what's really going on.

You're careful with your words, but you can't lose with my heart and tired.

And I can't keep waiting.

Because feelings are fading.

But I found the one but you're fading.

Help me hold no to false hope.

And I know there is something that goes so shut up and just let me say.

Well, beg for attention.

Then myself falling is attention.

Got to break it off.

Because I need somebody who knows how to treat me.

It's not that you did me wrong, but it's still your fault.

Another Friday night making friends with the couch.

Want to get dressed up once you take me out and go dancing.

Under the neon.

Yeah.

And still with two weeks in already playing house.

I try to be clear, but you won't hear me out.

I'm done crying.

Oh, it's ain't worth any more of my time.

These feelings are fading.

I found the one but you're fading.

Help me hold no to false hope.

And I know there is something that goes so shut up and just let me say.

Well, beg for attention.

Then myself falling is attention.

Got to break it off.

Because I need somebody who knows how to treat me.

It's not that you did me wrong, but it's still your fault.

Oh.

Oh.

And you don't know how pleased.

You left me waiting there.

I know you made your bed.

Now, sleeping in it.

Just know I won't be there.

Fading, but I found the one but you're fading.

Help me hold no to false hope.

And I know that it's hard to let go.

So shut up and just let me say.

Won't beg for attention.

Let myself fall in this tension.

Gotta break it off.

It's not me, it's somebody who knows how to treat me.

It's not that you did me wrong.

But it's still your fault.

It's still your fault.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

It's still your fault.

Oh.

Yeah, you know.

Yeah, you know it is.

Very nice.

Kaling Cole live in the layer.

That was a beautiful song.

Thank you.

I like that a lot.

Thank you.

Eight, four, four, nine, six, seven, two, seven, eight, nine, eight, four, four, nine, six, party.

Kaling, we'd love to hear from you and answer some questions that you may have.

I want to know about your social media.

Being a social media maven here.

I mean, you're on Facebook, you're on Instagram, you're on TikTok.

You're the master of the selfie.

What's here?

What's your secret to owning social media and having fun on and portraying that you're having fun?

So I try to do all my stuff very organically.

So I don't pay for, you know, ads.

I don't pay for likes or anything like that.

But I just, I don't know.

At the end of the day, like my, my goal is to have actual fans.

Yeah.

You know, the industry, I might get hated on here.

But the industry is all about numbers.

It really is.

And I just, I personally cannot stand that.

And I, it's not, it didn't used to be like that.

You know, people had personal connections with artists.

And that's what I really want as an artist.

And that's who I am as a person.

I love talking to people.

Sometimes I don't shut up.

But, you know, that's the thing.

I don't know.

It's just, to me trying to be the most authentic self that I can be.

Off and on the screen.

And I think I do a decent job with it.

Yeah.

You know, I've got a lot of crack head energy out there, but it's really fun.

What's your favorite platform?

I mean, which one do you get the most traction from?

I think, I don't know.

I love my Facebook followers.

They're fun.

And they, they definitely keep up with my life, which is awesome.

But I don't know.

Instagram is cool.

I like the, the filter is, and you can do Instagram Reels now.

So like all these cool videos.

And sometimes I just take portions of my days, like on the weekends, like, you know, three hours.

And I'll post, or try to draft a bunch of posts, you know,

just so that I don't have to do them every day.

And I can just post them every day.

You know, social media is so important for artists.

It really, for anybody who's in a small business or a large business or anything like that.

It's so important.

And, but as independent artists, sometimes it gets lost.

If you could give somebody like your best device as far as managing social media,

what would you say to them?

I mean, I'm not an expert.

That's for sure.

Be authentic because, nonetheless, you're going to find your actual crowd that loves you for you.

And that's, I think that's what, you know, Taylor Swift did.

I mean, we're going back to her.

But like, that's what she did.

She reached out to people every single night that said all these nice things to her.

And she created that connection with people.

So create a connection, be authentic, and be consistent.

Because if you post it the same time every single day, that, I don't know,

the algorithm changes all the time on all the apps.

It's hard to try to figure out.

And keep track of those algorithms.

I mean, it doesn't matter to me.

Yeah, but just like being consistent, I think we'll at least gain traction slowly.

Right.

So now, tell us about networking in Nashville.

I mean, have you run into Dolly yet?

I have not run into Dolly.

But I've ran into Morgan Wallen.

That's for sure.

Who is, who is he, tell us about him?

Morgan Wallen, he's like the face of male country right now.

Yeah, he's currently on tour.

Well, he's going back on tour.

He's in the studio right now.

But yeah, I've met him.

I've met Bailey Zimmerman.

I haven't met Hardy yet.

Hardy's more on the like the rock countryside.

It's so awesome.

I love his stuff.

But it's funny.

I run into a lot of people down in Nashville.

And they're just that, you know, bar's hanging out.

It's like normal people.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Sometimes if you see somebody who you really respect, a big fan of.

It's a little tough to keep your cool sometimes.

Yeah.

I was just like, hey, nice to meet you because I was at a showcase at this bar called losers.

And he was there.

And yeah, there's a loser.

There's a loser's side.

There's a winner's side.

The showcase was supposed to be on the winners, but they booked it for some reason.

Hey, baby.

You want to go to losers tonight?

I got a loser's.

You feel like a winner.

But anyway, so I was there.

And he was, he was there for a little bit of the showcase, but he didn't see my music.

But he was just like, well, bring her over.

I want to meet her.

And I was like, he, you want to meet me?

All right.

Cool.

He's reaching out to his fans.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He pulled the tail.

He's being authentic.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Perfect.

Well, let's get back to live music in the layer with Kayling Cole presented by the Aaron Webber

group.

The next song you have for us tonight.

It's called by now.

Tell us about this song before you play.

Oh, man.

By now was written by myself, my best friend, Juliel, and our other great friend, PJ

Repeto, we were just all sitting down and, you know, I just love writing with my crew

that I have down in Nashville.

It's just so fun laid back.

If we get a great song, that's awesome.

If not, no biggie.

But to that day, we wrote by now, and we were all just feeling so sassy.

And so we all sit down, PJ is like, what are we feeling?

And Juliel and I look at each other and we're just like, sass at the same time.

And so we were like, all right, let's, let's look through our phones for ideas.

And she had the idea called by now.

And it's just a play on words like, by now, we should have, you know, dented out all this stuff.

So, and we ended up not in a relationship.

So goodbye.

Like, dooses, I'm going to say goodbye to you because I know what's best for me.

And it's clearly not you.

It's not from my personal experience.

Would like to put that out there, but somebody's experience out there though.

Yeah.

I think we have all had that experience at some point.

Growing pains.

Eight, four, four, nine, six, seven, two, seven, eight, nine.

Call and say hello to Kaylyn Cole.

And by now, come on foot on the gas and you'll keep sold me down.

To get out of my way, got none to say.

So the last thing got out of my mouth is by now.

By now, yeah.

Should have met me at the house, but you couldn't do that.

And all the whole thing's going south.

They don't want that back, don't mess with your hat.

But you never forget this good.

By now, half foot in the bank and straight out on the house.

By now, I know it's better to be lonely than be waiting around.

And by now, come on foot on the gas and you'll keep sold me down.

To get out of my way, got none to say.

So the last thing got out of my mouth is by now.

Yeah, gone by now.

All that time I wish I would have known.

I'm better doing things all my own.

So by now, half foot in the bank and straight out on the house.

By now, I know it's better to be lonely than be waiting around.

And by now, come on foot on the gas and you'll keep sold me down.

To get out of my way, got none to say.

So the last thing got out of my mouth.

Been around around your finger, but you didn't pull the trigger in the shooter.

Been around gone by some by now.

By now, yeah.

Oh, by now.

Yeah, by now.

Nice.

We're here with Kaelin Cole live in the layer on Max Inc.

Radio.

Kaelin, your latest album, Bourbon Warfare has been released

as a live acoustic version called Bourbon Warfare

for Water Down Sessions.

Tell us about this new release.

Okay, so I remember I was driving and I was on the phone with my mom

and I was like, I want to do another version of Bourbon Warfare.

I'm very proud of that project.

Ben Reno produced it for me.

He's awesome.

He's a part of Majestic Ape Studios down in Nashville.

But I just was like, you know, I kind of want to give more

credit to the writers on it because if the writers didn't write

anything with me, there wouldn't have been songs to begin with.

So I did this giant project.

I hired a videographer, a first and second shooter, a photographer

and an audio engineer to pick, like get their live audio cuts

and for them to make videos for every single song.

And it was in my backyard.

I've got like, you know, some cute lights and a nice patio.

So we did the Water Down Sessions, which I thought was such an awesome idea.

That was my own idea.

I was like, water down like whiskey.

But anyway, so I invited like all of the songwriters over.

You know, granted not many of them could come because their songwriters themselves

and they're very busy.

I get it.

But a good handful of everyone, at least one person on every song was able to be there.

So that was really cool.

And I just kind of wanted to do it because of just kind of a fun closing to it.

But also, you know, to give them some, you know, shout outs and everything too.

Now I know at least one of the videos is up on YouTube whiskey wings.

Yes.

That's one of my favorites.

Are there more?

Yes.

Are they coming?

Tell us about those.

So they are coming soon.

I have all of them.

I'm just kind of like trying to, you know, release some here and there.

Just for people to watch and for my YouTube to grow too.

So if you haven't, you know, followed me on YouTube, definitely go do that.

But yeah, the first one is with Justice Storm.

He's playing the guitar and it sounds amazing.

And then Juliel, who has her own version of whiskey wings out herself.

So we did a duet and everybody loved it.

Everybody in the Nashville scene loved it.

What is that song about?

It's all about first experiences, you know, growing up and whiskey wings.

It's just like, you know, it talks about, you know, you trying whiskey for the first time.

But also doing so many other things.

I get it.

Yeah.

So it's a really cool song.

I remember my first whiskey kind of.

I don't want to be surprised if everyone does, you know, but I don't think I do.

You know, normally, you'll like this.

I normally drink rum and coax.

But tonight, I was for my pre-radio show cocktail.

Downstairs.

Yeah.

I had a jack and coke tonight.

It was delicious.

You know what my go-to is, Jimmy?

My go-to is jack and water.

That is my go-to.

Water, yeah.

Water down whiskey.

Yeah, water down whiskey.

Yeah.

I'm on brand.

Where do we find the water down sessions online?

You can find them anywhere.

So Amazon Music has them.

Apple Music Spotify.

YouTube.

Anywhere, I think.

So, yeah.

I just put it out.

iTunes.

You got it.

Well, let's get back to live music in the air with Caitlin Cole presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The next song you have for us tonight, it's called, called Me Crazy.

Is this song about truth or premonition?

It's definitely just a song idea.

I mean, I've been called crazy.

I've been called worse too.

But.

But.

Well, that was after you put up the shame on the karaoke stage, right?

Exactly.

Yes, exactly.

But my friend Gary Frost wrote this with me as well as Nick Ryan.

And we, this is actually my newest song, I think, with the entire song list that we have today.

But Call Me Crazy is all about just a play on words about the word call.

And how, you know, people just kind of end relationships on a really bad note.

And that's just kind of the gist of the song.

It wasn't my idea.

It was Gary's.

And so he was like, and I was like, are you trying to say something?

He's like, yeah, we should write it for a girl.

And I was like, are you trying to say something to me right now?

But yeah, it's a fun song.

Let's get some live music going.

We're live in the layer presented by the Aaron Weber group.

Live on Maxine, on Civic Media.

And you got me playing all these different games that I win winning.

If we're in it for the long haul, it would've be quitting.

But I got a feeling.

I call them just because I used to call him mine.

And now it's less calling on buzzing just like it's phone on the other side.

We called it a connection.

Now this static on the line.

And now we cause be crazy because I call him crying.

You said patience.

He'd wipe away my tears when my heart was breaking.

It was on my sleeve, but he swore that he didn't see it.

Oh, he didn't need it.

I call him just because I used to call him mine.

And now it's less calling on buzzing just like it's phone on the other side.

We called it a connection.

Now this static on the line.

And now we cause be crazy because I call him crying in the silence in the middle of the night.

We calling what it was who I can call you one last time.

I call them just because I used to call him mine.

Now it's less calling on buzzing and I'm walking out with another guy.

I'm calling a connection.

Now I disconnect the line.

No, call me crazy because I call to say goodbye.

Call to say goodbye.

Kaling cold live in the layer here on Maxing on civic media.

Don't forget Maxing.

We're coming up at 10 o'clock tonight.

We got a double dip of lock jaw rocker plus revolution X and bad year.

And M. Shell will have an interview with H1 Z1 that's coming up tonight at 10 o'clock on Maxing.

Wow, Jimmy, that sounds like a good show tonight.

I can't wait to hear M. Shell.

Kaling, how does music keep you spiritually connected?

Wow, actually, I was not ready for that question.

I feel like, so I believe I'm a believer.

I'm a believer.

Anyway, so I think this is my energy I'm talking about.

It's crazy.

Are you talking about ghosts?

Do you believe in ghosts?

No, I believe in God.

I believe in God.

I didn't grow up going to church all the time.

But I've found a really cool church that I like in Nashville, really great community.

But anyway, I think music is something that just keeps me grounded because I know myself best through music, I think.

And also, it's just such a great therapeutic experience to write your stuff out.

You know, what you're going through in your life and everything.

And it's just, I feel like a lot of people kind of like keep it in sometimes and they can't export it.

We're out, however they want.

But I do that within songs and journaling and everything.

But I think it's just a spiritual experience for me because I feel like I was given a gift.

And, you know, I'm trying to use it as well as I can.

And yeah, I think I'm just trying to steward it correctly.

Do you sing a lot of church?

Or have you...

I have.

Yes, but the church that I go to now, I'm just, you know, I'll sit in the back.

I, you know, hear the sermon, all that stuff.

Have a good community there.

But I'm not trying to get plugged in quite yet.

I don't know. I'm trying to feel it out still.

I'm not huge on the church thing myself.

But I do love a good choir or a good gospel band.

I know.

And that just gives you chills, you know.

It's crazy.

And so I used to be a worship leader at this old church that I used to go to.

But I'm just, you know, focusing on my writing now.

Well, loving people is an integral to her personal mission statement.

Is a quote I saw.

What is your mission statement?

My mission statement is just to be unapologetically myself, be authentic.

And I feel like, you know, I feel, I feel like Nashville and just being alone

and like moving so far away from home has just really matured me in a quick way.

Much quicker as if I were to, you know, stay around.

Because my family isn't there to tell me what to do.

The people aren't there to tell me what I, you know.

The decisions are yours.

The decisions are mine.

The repercussions are mine, you know, that I own that.

And that's like a huge thing being an adult and like, you know, just going through that

and having to realize that.

But yeah, my mission statement is just to live every single day to the fullest.

And sometimes you're not going to get what you want, but life throws curveballs all the time.

And so being authentic and just, I don't know, enjoying life.

Now Nashville tour stop books, Raiders rounds, and they often include you.

Tell us about the Raiders rounds.

What's the Raiders rounds?

Yeah, so Nashville tour stop is owned, like the CEO is Aaron Shilb.

I love him.

He's awesome.

The Raiders round is where you get like three or four performers on a stage.

And, or I'm sorry, not performers, Raiders.

And they'll either have their guitar or they'll have somebody playing for them, or their piano, whatever they have.

And then they'll be, you'll go one by one with an original song, at least three or four original songs.

So it's really cool.

And then you get to hear people's stories and why they wrote what they wrote.

Sounds awesome.

Well, let's get back to live music in the layer with Kaylen Cole presented by the Aaron Weber group,

the next song you have for us tonight.

It's called 9-1-1 Whiskey.

Is this a delivery service?

Yeah.

Got it, wish.

That would be awesome.

You can see Jack Daniels right now.

Yeah.

You can deliver the whiskey.

Jeff can deliver the green bud.

Perfect.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So 9-1-1-1 Whiskey is just a bunch of, again, play on words about how this relationship is just really bad right now currently.

And how they just kind of go towards the whiskey instead of healing.

And that's kind of what they need at the moment.

So.

Well, let's check it out right now.

Live music live in the layer here on Maxic on Civic Media.

It's 9-1-1 Whiskey by Kaylen Cole.

That's why I'm calling him.

Now, quickly, who is Lauren Dagle in Matthew West?

They are CCM artists.

So, Christian contemporary music artists.

You work with them, right?

Yeah, I've worked with them in the past.

I've done a music video with Matthew West.

And then I also sang at the double wards with Lauren Dagle.

And that's kind of like their music awards.

So, it was pretty cool.

Well, we have just a few minutes left.

So, we have one more song.

We really thank you for coming all the way from Nashville

to be here in the studio with us live in the Lair on Maxing Radio.

Let's get back to live music.

Okay.

Presented by the Erin Weber group.

The last song you have for us tonight, it's called You Ain't Jack.

Mm-hmm.

Is that the reject button on Tinder?

Um, basically.

Well, I don't have Tinder.

I have Hinge.

I'm totally like calling myself out here.

Um, but yeah, it's just about kind of the Nashville dating experience

and the bar scene itself and how I'm a little jaded about it.

So, that's what we wrote about.

I would be jaded too.

Yeah.

Caitlin Coase live in the Lair and let's check it out.

Maxing on Civic Media, we are local music.

You think of the life of the party?

Got a couple with parties slowly making your own.

Trying to make something happen?

Get a drunk or a dance with.

So you can take it back to your house.

Yeah, you think you're smooth, bending the truth.

But there's so much that you're loud.

You ain't Jack.

Jack, Jack.

Corkin' never come back.

Back, back.

If you leave me broken, won't drink, won't any answers.

I couldn't find here at the bar.

You ain't Jack.

You maybe isn't on the ice, but I know there's a side to you.

Down would leave me hurt.

You could promise me heaven, all I get is a lesson.

Like a fire that would leave me burnt.

Yeah, you think you got it all, can make any girl fall.

But you're so damn wrong.

You ain't Jack.

Jack, Jack.

Corkin' never come back.

Back, back.

If you leave me broken, won't drink, won't any answers.

I couldn't find here at the bar.

You ain't Jack.

Jack, Jack.

I know you ain't Jack.

Jack, Jack.

Oh, no.
