Whitney Mann is back with new music on Live from the Madcity on Max Ink Radio

You found Wisconsin's local music authority. This is MagSync Radio. We are local music.

As a girl, Whitney man dreamed of a life in country music all day, every day. And at the age of

four, she began writing her own songs. And two decades later, she realized her version of success

by opening shows for legends like Willie Nelson, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, and on big country

stages in the theaters throughout the Midwest. And Whitney put down her guitar to raise a family,

but songwriting is in her bones. And it's an intro of perpetually need to be scratched.

Her old songs are about love and truth and heartbreak. And to listen to her new material,

she realized that she stayed true to form. Except now she's looking for a fight.

In the ring tonight with us for 12 rounds of live from the Mad City presented by the

Aaron Weber group. Whitney, welcome to MagSync Radio. Hello. Thank you for having me.

Originally, you're from Camden, Michigan. But now out of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, I'm a foodie

and Madison is a foodie town. But tell me, what is the best kept secret restaurant in Fort Atkinson?

Oh, you know, there's a place called Paddy Coughlands in Fort Atkinson that everybody we've taken

to has loved it. Can't get enough of the type of food. It's an Irish place. So

there's a great fish fry that they have. There's probably a pretty sick Ruben. They've got a great

menu. Yeah, they have this pretzel that's, it's like as big as this table. It's humongous.

It can probably feed you for a couple days. My daughter loves it.

That's pretty big. I must take a lot of mustard. Yeah, also just shut out Cafe Carp.

Cafe Carp is all, I mean, I don't know that that's a secret, you know, that's been around for decades

people. I love it. It's a great place. And we're going to be talking about the Carp in a little while.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, we're going to go over that. Whitney, at four years old, you begin writing songs.

Tell us about getting your started music. What's your backstory? Yeah. Yes, I started. I remember

writing songs as a four-year-old in the bathroom, singing them in the mirror, trying to

write a couple lines that rhymed to a certain melody and then trying to come up with another

verse that had the same melody. I remember that being such a puzzle. Wow. And listening to songs

in the radio and realizing, oh, there's a couple verses. They all have the same melody. How do

they do that? It seemed like magic. So I remember trying to solve that puzzle in the bathroom.

Really, I just wrote, you know, a verse and melody in there. And I remember writing one song

and that whatever I rhymed, the word rhymed with the word hell, and I really wanted to, but I wasn't

allowed to say that word as a young person. And so I thought, well, the one way around that is to

spell it. And then when that time came to sing that word, I would show myself the word in the mirror.

So I didn't know how to spell it, though, because that was four. And so I asked my mom, how do you

spell the word hell? And then she told me, no questions asked. And so yeah, I mean, I started like

anybody writing songs, listening to the radio, really like thinking about the structure of songs and

I grew up listening to 90s country. What was your parents role in your musical upbringing?

Yeah. My mom played the piano, still does. She played at the church that I grew up going to.

She was the pianist there. My dad is a farmer, but he is a great singer. He's never saying in public,

but he can really let it rip in the kitchen. If he thinks nobody's listening. And yeah, we just,

we just always had the radio on no matter where we were going in the car, in the kitchen, just,

there was always music around. Well, we love radio here. Max, ain't radio. Tell us,

when did you start like playing guitar and what other instruments do you play? Do you play any?

Yeah, I started taking piano lessons at seven. I took them classically trained for 10 years

until they went off to college. Guitar lessons, I took lessons from my uncle Roy when I was

10 or so. And he was left handed. So he taught me to play on a left handed guitar. And so then

oh, wow, when I started taking lessons, like legit lessons at 12, it was like starting over.

I don't know how to do this, but I took guitar lessons for a couple years starting at 12.

Took some drum lessons for about a year, played the clarinet in the high school and the school band.

Yeah, I think that's it. When was your first gig?

Oh, my first gig, I played, so I went to University of Michigan and met this fellow musician,

songwriter, and told her that I wrote songs. And she worked at the Starbucks in on State Street

in Ann Arbor and had a gig and invited me to play with her. And that was my first gig.

And it was amazing. I mean, I don't recall any of the songs that I had written at that time.

They probably weren't very good, but it was like such a great experience to get out there and

get in front of people. Yeah. The feeling, what brought you to Wisconsin?

That would be Kyle, my husband. We met in Rockford. We were both photojournalists for the TV

news, ABC affiliate there in Rockford. And then he moved to Madison to work for the ABC

affiliate. And I eventually followed. And so that was like 2008, I think. Yeah.

Well, let's get to some of my music from the Mad City with Whitney Mann, presented by the

Aaron Weber group. The first song you have for us tonight, it's called Different Kind of Easy.

Don't tell me this is a love song. Well, you know it is.

Yeah. I really love that old country music trick of taking a phrase and sort of turning it on

its head. And so to call somebody easy, would it be called easy? Such an insult. Or it was when I was

young. But but in this song, it feels like this, this, this is like telling your, your partner you

feel it's like your glove, you know, we just fit. And so this is your different kind of easy.

All right, let's hear it. Different kind of easy. You're listening to Whitney Mann live from

the Mad City on Maxing Credio.

Can't help but lose my cool now. Can't seem to keep my mind from dreaming about you.

I need you here all the time, because you're all I won't, won't, won't, won't, can't get enough.

No, not not even those feeling me up. You're all I need, need, need, need, crawl all my hands.

And these love you with the fear released for all my life. Yeah, you're a different kind.

One thing I know, and I know it for sure. I never had anything until you came in my

world. Now you're all I won't, won't, won't, won't, can't get enough. No, not not even those

feeling me up. You're all I need, need, need, crawl all my hands. And these love you with the fear released for all my life.

Yeah, you're a different kind. Yeah, you're a different kind. Yeah, you're a different kind.

Yeah, you're a different kind of easy. That's Whitney Man. You're listening to live from the Mad City on Maxing,

Radio Whitney in 2009. You were opening for many of your country music heroes. But there was a moment that gave you pause

enough to make you shift gears. Tell us about opening for Guy Clark and how that changed you.

That was, that was an interesting experience. I was, I was rattled. So it was a Stouten Opera House,

which is a lovely venue. Right. Played there a few times. I had played there I think once before I played there with Guy Clark.

And Guy Clark is a fantastic singer, songwriter. I mean, he was. He's a legend in the songwriting space.

But he was also kind of cranky. And so we were watching him sound check. And, and he couldn't hear

the monitor. So he kept asking for it to be turned up, you know, and then it just ended up squealing

and lots of feedback. And he was just like, I can't hear myself turn it up. And then the sound guy

was just, you know, politely offered. Why don't I set up two monitors? And then you'll be able to hear

yourself a lot better. And he was just like swearing at him and saying, like, I don't want to. I just

won't want it. It was crazy. There was a lot of batter. But a lot of bad juju in the room. And then

so we were watching that. And I was like, wow, that's pretty intense. And so I went backstage and

warmed up. And everything was fine. Like I was feeling really good. And then it was showtime.

And I went out. And I was in the middle of my first song, the first verse. And the words were gone.

I just, I lost them. You know, they were gone. I have no idea what they were. And so as an artist,

you can, you can sort of fake your way through it and keep going. Or you can sort of be cute about

it and acknowledge it. Stop yourself and tell the crowd what's going on. And so that's what I did.

So I said, you know, I forgot how that goes. And so I restarted. And I lost them again. They

just didn't come back to me. And so then I was just completely thrown off balance. And

instead of just skipping the song, saying, like, let's just, let's just kill that one and move on.

I was like, stubborn about it. And just like, I'm going to try again, you know. And third time

was not a charm. And I was just like, I was just furious with myself. And I never, I never

mentally recovered. And, and then after that, I was just completely in my head the whole show.

And there was a song that I was singing later, where in the middle of it, I was thinking like,

I was singing playing outwardly. But in my head, I was thinking, I need to swallow. When

I'm going to swallow, there's no time to swallow. I'm going to swallow in the middle of a line.

Everybody's going to know that I just swallowed. You know, like, I am spiraling. And it,

it didn't get any better for me. I'm sure it sounded fine to the audience. I pray that it sounded

fine. But to me, it was like a pure panic situation that I couldn't pull myself out of.

And, and then after that, like, I really recognized that I started to get nervous for shows,

because I, I was fearful that that sort of, that sort of thing would happen again.

And it felt like it took a year to fully like find my feet and be really comfortable and confident.

And now I feel like I would know how to get past that kind of thing. I feel like I'm just

be like, I'm just not going to play that song. Sorry, folks. You know, and keep removing. But,

man, at the time, I just didn't know what to do. Man, you know that happened, Ozzy. And he

ended up getting teleprompters. No, I, yeah, I felt like I was too young for that or just not,

maybe too poor for that. But yeah, I mean, if I'm, if I'm, that's a scary thing to be on stage.

And, you know, people don't realize that when you're on stage and you're playing, you know,

you're thinking of all kinds of different things. Even while you're playing, it's sometimes amazing.

Yeah. My mind definitely drifts. I feel like it's almost like better when my mind is drifted or

I'm, if I'm not thinking about the song or not thinking about what I'm doing, I'm much more

able to be in the flow state. But if I'm really thinking about what I'm singing or how my voice

sounds, it's just like, it's a slippery slope straight to the bottom.

I'm always thinking like, why did the guy wear that hat? I think that too. I like to think about

those things. I was, I remember when I was, I opened for George Jones. And there was a woman,

and I was not nervous then. I was 25. You couldn't, you couldn't make me nervous.

And I was singing a song and in the middle, there was like, I opened my eyes and there was this

woman wearing a very like vibrant flashy cowboy hat. And I was thinking, but should I make a joke

about the cowboy? But yeah. Well, then you had to hide is to pursue a more ordinary life,

Raid's kids, family work, as a marketing professional at the UW talk about kind of leaving music

and raising a family. Yeah. You know, my nervousness sort of ebbed and flowed. And it was never

like it was at the Staten Opera House, but it felt like, you know, my body was going through

some things before every show. And it just felt like a struggle. You know, it felt like every show

felt like the beginning of going up a roller coaster. Yeah. You know, it's just that fear of

what's going to happen. And it felt like, you know, I already had a baby at home and I was pregnant

with number two. And it just felt like, do I want to continue struggling with that performance

anxiety? You know, or can I just say, I've got two kids. I can just lead a normal life now.

And I chose that path. And it was great. You know, I spent six, six years

raising the kids and sort of like, I put music away and just focused on regular stuff.

And then something happened as the pandemic was coming to an end, right?

Yeah. Your music was coming back to life and it was your kids who noticed first.

Yeah. Yeah. I started, I started, I got out the guitar, I dusted it off and just started playing

old songs. And the kids really enjoyed it. They, they started, you know, memorizing lyrics and

singing along. And then, and then yeah, I just, I guess, got the itch and started

noodling with some, some thoughts and ideas and putting them, putting melodies behind them

and just seeing where they went and flexing that creative muscle that I hadn't in a while.

Um, and my voice was not what it had been. And so like flexing that physical muscle too was,

was tough, but it, um, it's been a really enjoyable ride coming back.

Well, let's get back to live music from the man city presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The next song you have for us tonight is called What About Heartbreak? And are we about to

wallow in sadness? You sure are. This is, uh, this is a song about the deepest pits of

despair. And I feel like we have all been there, you know, through one situation or another.

And, um, I love a sad song. I love to wallow. So this is one of those.

What about rage? The way it burns. The way it grabs you by the throne until it hurts.

It clenches tight. Your hip excites. And you're not sure how you'll make it out of life.

And what about grief? The way it stings. The way it sleeps and permeates all your

things. It hangs slow and fills the air. And your song can ice. Prove your belly there.

And what about me? You hear yourself scream. Into the darkness clutch in a picture frame.

There's no one there. It's too late. Now it's just you.

And heartbreak. It's wallow. We pride. It's wallow. Oh, tears. It don't matter tonight. No one's making demands.

The rescue and you questions. You don't understand. Can't take it back to the start.

So take it in like an arrow to the heart. Walk away if you're honest.

It stays still like the promise.

But what about fear? The way it blooms. The way it wraps around your ear till you can't move.

You think about when. You think about if. But you think about how it only makes you sick.

And what about me? You hear yourself scream. Why does it never, never seem easy?

It's easy once. Make no mistake. Now it's just you. And heartbreak.

It's wallow. We pride. It's wallow. Oh, tears. It don't matter tonight. No one's making demands.

The rescue and you questions. You don't understand. Can't take it back to the start.

So take it in like an arrow to the heart. Feel yourself shatter and shake.

That's just you babe. And heartbreak. It's just you. And heartbreak.

What about heartbreak? That is Whitney Mann. You're enlisting to live from the Mad City on

Maxing Radio. Whitney. Yes. How did you feel coming back to music? Getting back on stage after

your hiatus? Yeah, it was just as nerve-wracking. Yeah, I still struggle with that. The first place

I played was just a backyard show with my friend Evan Murdoch. He's the one who pulled me out of

hiatus and it was fun. The kids got to come and see and that was so great to share that with them.

Everybody was just it's a backyard show. Everybody's having fun, you know?

But they were all everybody was super attentive and into it and it just felt really good

to just perform songs again and I had a bunch of new songs that I had written at that time and

yeah, it was just it's just fun. You know, music's fun. Who knew? And your songs are how you

process the world around you and it's your form of journaling. Tell us how your world becomes a song.

Yeah, so you know, anytime I'm moved by something and lately it's been sort of political

or if someone says something, a line, I'll just write it down and then try to bring it to life

later. What comes first, the lyric, the riff or the concept for you? That's a great question. I think

it's a melody, well, first melody and lyrics come together. It's a package deal.

And it's it's the idea I think that comes first and the thing about it is if I have

know where it's a great idea, it's a great idea, but I have no

place for it to go or I have no story that I can fold it into or I don't really have a place,

I just don't know how to put it into a song. You know, I have a ton of single verses that I've

written that I think are great that were probably inspired by something someone said or something

that I read, but they're sitting in my notes app on my phone, hopefully to be finished one day

but you know, maybe I can just make an album of song ideas. Well, let's get back to live music

from the Mad City presented by the Aaron Weber group. The next song you have for us tonight,

it's called Chemicals and Chemtrails. Is this another love song or is this about conspiracies?

This I like to say that it's a whimsical kid song, but it's not really for kids. I I wanted to

write a song that like my kids could tap their toes to heartbreak songs, even though they love

the heartbreak songs, but they you know, they love they love radio pop songs, or so I was trying

I don't write radio pop songs, so I was trying to write something that maybe it was felt a little fun.

Chemicals and Chemtrails sounds like great time. It's a great time, we'll see what you think after this.

The ozone is open and white, they're going to blame it on cows every time

and shrug their shoulders at the rock it's in the sky, they're going to buy farmland

to build a lab where they can fry a burger in a petri pan and tell you that

it's the only way to survive, but we're all going to die, because we're on the chemicals

we're drinking in the chemicals, microplastics in our lungs, they're chemicals,

here we got the chemicals.

From the radium girls, to the Tuskegee men, the new horror begins,

there's another one in, there's anyone even recall, Flint, Michigan,

but just relax, this is America babe, you must have sued your position,

amongst the deep brave, close your eyes and let the dopamine fail your brain,

because we're on the chemicals, you're breathing in the chemicals, getting high on the chemicals,

here we got the chemicals,

but what's a girl to do about it, when her body's so far political profit,

and all the blood in school, drowns out the golden rule,

oh, what a way to do, what a way to do,

oh,

Whitney man, live from the mad city, right here on Maxine Gradio, chemicals and chemtrails,

and we will be right back after this break, shop local, eat local, listen local,

this is Maxine Gradio, we are local music, here we are back in live from the mad city on Maxine

Gradio with Whitney man, tell us about meeting legendary Willie Nelson, oh yeah, I had the privilege

and honor of opening for him two times, I believe, and it was spectacular, I had like many people

grown up listening to him, and loving his work, I remember putting on albums of his when I was

just a kid, and so yeah, I got to open up for him in the cross for the first time, and first of all,

we got there, we had never played a huge gig like that before, and so we got to go backstage,

the first thing, and eat dinner with the band, and that was incredible, we got to hear stories from

Bee Spears, his bassist, his long time bassist, and Paul, his drummer, who he wrote me and Paul

about, and just hear their stories, and they were incredible, and then I played, and I played solo

in front of 3,000 of my closest friends, and it was amazing, and I had a great time, I told some

jokes, I sang my songs, and then when I got off stage, Bee and Paul were both waiting for me,

just write off the riser, and they threw their arms around me, they gave me these great big

grandpa hugs, and I can't remember which one it was, I think it was Paul, who said, well, let me

introduce you to the boss, and then he took me to the boss, and I got to go on, and there was

Willie Nelson, and he was, I think I said it was like meeting Daffy Duck, it was like something that

somebody that you've seen all your life that can't possibly be real, he was watching TV, I think

it was like CNN or something, and yeah, well now some folks have the code talking to Bob Marley,

and were you talking to Willie Nelson? I don't know, yeah, that's what we wanted to know,

um, actually no, it was, I'll be honest, it was right after they had gotten busted,

oh really, yeah, so there was no pot of any kind on the bus, didn't even smell like pot,

oh geez, yeah, smell the clean, and he still had a good show, great show, yeah,

I figured like an animal, where would you say your music career is at now, in context with your

past? Oh, it's, yeah, I'm back, yeah, I'm being more careful about the gigs that I choose,

I want them to be fun for me, I don't want to, you know, back in my youth, I would play bar gigs

like anybody, but I feel like I'm a little too old for that, I don't have the patience,

so I want to play gigs that are fun for me, and I don't play bar music anyway, I know I play

introspective sad songs, so a place like Cafe Carp is ideal for, or any listening room, the

Baroque is great for that too, in medicine, so I'm more careful about the gigs that I choose,

both for me and for my audience, and the songs that I write are a little bit more robust,

they're just different than they were when I was younger, I mean, I think the songs I wrote

in my 20s are fantastic, and I still play a lot of them today. Well, let's get back to live music

from the Mad City presented by the Aaron Weber group, the next song you have for us tonight is

called American Fever Dream, and the first line of this tune is striking, there is no freedom if

nobody's safe to go to the store or any public place, tell us about the song before you play. Yeah,

well I wrote this song in a time that feels much quainter now, it was probably 2022,

and it was right around the time when people kept, you know, there was like this series of events

where people were pulling into a driveway to turn around, and for some reason the homeowner

of that driveway would come out and shot these two girls that were trying to just pull and drive

away, and there was that boy, I can't remember his name, Ralph something who knocked on the wrong

door to get his brother after school, and he was shot, and it just felt like, man, you can't go

anywhere, you know, and we took our kids to the movies, and it was a great time, we had a great

time, we came back, I was talking them in at night, and just I had this passing thought that like,

you know, anyone could have come into the theater and killed us all, this is America, it happens.

More than you wanted to, and I was talking to them and I had that thought, and I just thought like,

you know, the only thing from us being alive or us dying of very American death is dumb luck, you

know, and that made me incredibly sad, and so then I sat down on my couch and wrote this next song

probably in 20 minutes. Wow, all right, American fever dream, you're listening to With the Man,

Live from the Mad City on Maxing Radio.

With a gun, wants to plaster his face across papers and talk shows where they ask,

what's your take?

Always escape, goat, a piss poor excuse, his parents divorced, so

what could we do? Until the line, God damn it, make it make sense,

that we safeguard our guns, and our family's expense,

you fund our schools, rob our life, bury shells, force prayer and classrooms while we all live in hell,

oh, because it's the American dream, yeah, we're all living the American dream,

freedom of speech, but don't you say gay,

our trans or queer or rainbows, okay, there's no space for love in a fear monger heart,

you know I heard Jesus wept only after his starts fell apart,

defund our schools, rob our library shells, force that girl to have a baby even though she's only 12,

oh, because it's the American dream, yeah, we're all living the American dream,

wrong place, wrong time, we're all out of our minds, wrong line, wrong car,

can I wish upon a star, it starts and prayers begin again, put on your gun, lapel pin,

kids running scared, I don't know you see them, pledge allegiance, to the freedom,

yeah, because it's the American dream, yeah, we're all living the American dream,

yeah, we're all living the American dream, yeah, we're all living the American dream,

wow, American fever dream, this is Whitney Mann, live from the man city on maxing radio,

Whitney, you are currently recording these songs in the studio for release this summer,

tell us some of the details, where are you recording and are you having musicians on this,

is there a band or is it just you solo, yeah, great questions, thanks, I'm recording them

with at my friend Hayward William with him in his studio and so he's playing bass and lead guitar

on these and we're using his drummer Charlie Coltec and it's been so fun so far, all my previous albums

were sort of recorded live either live in studio or we even had live from the high noon and this

is different, this feels, you know, we're taking our time and we're like adding vocal harmonies

and just more nuance than we then I did in the past and it feels really special and fun and just

sort of really interesting to see where these songs can go. Are you going to be playing live

with the band? I hope so, later this fall the plan is to play a show with the full band and have

people hear these songs live. That would be so fun. Are you going to be doing this on vinyl or

you know CD or just releasing kind of singles as you go? I think time will tell so we're going to do

the five songs will be released this summer and I mean maybe probably I don't know CD, I think vinyl

eventually and then obviously digital release as well. And we found out tonight that you are on

bandcamp. I'm on bandcamp Apple Music, I know that it's all there on wittanyman.com too and you

can sign up for the email list and. And that's man with two ends. And with two ends. Whitney man with

two ends. Well let's get back to live music from the man city presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The next song that you have for us tonight is called Electric Heart. Is this a song of self-reflection

or a rare Jimmy Hendrix cover? It is a song of self-reflection. This was one of those songs where

I had a couple lines in my notes app and I finally found a place for them you know and that was

exciting. That is so rare as we talked about earlier so yeah this is how that goes. All right let's

check it out. This is Electric Heart. There's a new wittanyman on maxing radio.

I haven't been thinking about behind so they know it all bitch.

She likes to tell you how it should have been like she gives us.

She's got windows open dancing around the room.

I got to sign picture on a mantle if I'm strong on the moon and I've been thinking about the future

that I've to miss day little witch. She says it's beauty in the unknown. She shouldn't be afraid of it.

She plays hard time Fridays and always plays to win.

She says sometimes you've got to shed yourself like snakes again and learn to begin again.

Time moves with an electric home you need to hear it word.

I don't want you to hear it word.

And I've been thinking about me here and I don't know very much.

So if I can be hard on myself when that paper oh turns rough.

I've stopped myself for answers.

Forgive but not for guide I've turned my eyes to the horizon and hoped for another shot.

And time moves with an electric home you need to hear it word.

All you need to hear it mind.

I hear an electric heart it's bolts and charts.

I go in my mind and I go to the sun.

Electric heart that is Whitney Mann live from the man city on max ink radio.

Whitney tell us about meeting another one of your country heroes which was the red

yeah she was amazing I mean Willie of course was too but I remember the same show as Willie

no different so I remember traveling from gig to gig Kyle would be driving and I would be

in the backseat for some reason I remember being the backseat reading Loretta Lin's autobiography

and this was before we had opened for and it was such an incredible read you should read it if you

haven't and then probably like three weeks after I finished it I had the great fortune of opening

for her and after my set I you know I did the thing where you so much and you talked to people

and that's fun and everything and then I went to watch the show in the wings and I didn't know

this at the time but her daughters actually kick off her set so they sang the first couple

songs and so when I walked in the wings there was Loretta standing there in her sequined ball gown

and it was incredible and so I told her about how I just finished her autobiography and I said

I don't mean to freak you out but there's this thing in Madison called shoot I don't remember

anymore the freaking weekend whatever's at the freaking Halloween weekend at high noon saloon that one

yeah in my band and I went as Loretta Lin and her band we sang all the hits fist city and you had

woman enough to take my man and so I told her all of that and just how much I loved her and then

she was like honey I've been around for so long nothing freaks me out anymore and it was just
