all right it is a monday night here eighty eight keys and we are live with stripper ryan leaf and his trio the c b go thank you very much for your you guys turn your lights on yet flick your big switch over an excellent night of music we are enjoying the we we have a couple of veterans in the scene you guys been playing for decades for many great artists in pioneer square as a matter of fact here we are in pioneer square and add another great artist on stage m so tell me what's different about the trio then orbiters what's good for you in this combination well the trio is basically the same band but without another guitar player and sometimes in the rivers we have another guitar player plus another sa but usually it's a four piece but the trio is kind of designed to go in the smaller venues smaller clubs distro style place a little lower volume with a lower key and that was the original intent but it's kind of grown to where really for me at least i think these guys would agree it's kind of its own entity as far as the feel that you get with the trio it's a little more spacious and open and we do a little bit different material and it's really kind of developed into a really nice thing that's not really just driven by the economics or size of the space but you know it's a different musical and it so it's worked out really nice the orders is going strong we've got you know the four piece orbiters have a new album out it's doing real well and yet the trio also you know provides some flexibility for different you know how do you drum up new business how do you go out that you just knock on doors cold or do you finally leave for another guy another band member all those yeah yeah one of the distro style places that we play a little place in the mine that's what i did walked in they were just beginning music and got to know the owners and they were interested in doing some blues as well as jazz so we came kind of a perfect fit there and we play there all the time and so that is the scotch and vine down in the morning yeah it's  great little place just down from the old movie theater there yeah prickling yeah you have a regular stop there and that's one of those little intimate joints that we love and now what's what's been your favorite rooms in town do you have   highway ninety nine is a great club the scotch and vine we love playing there and going to different styles lower volume smaller scale but the real intimate soul there's a lot of great clubs around well and i think rockers grown out of corners and it takes a business sense to get in this business doesn't it i mean you can't just be good at playing music and and look sexy on stage well i could maybe play music i'm not sure about th all right so let's talk about the songs you know i was thinking about during brownsville going to brownsville how i mean that's a great track of course but then why is it that that's a song that jumps out there's so many sauce you could cover it why is it that that one speaks to you what is it about that too is it that it starts off kind of mellow and gentle and it kind of builds and the pattern of what he's doing on the drums changes with every twelve bars and it kind of accentuates and builds as it goes so that building is what really creates an excitement even though it starts anything that comes to mind feels natural and it works you know if you've got guys that are listening good that's the key word isn't it it is listening to each other that makes a good band i know so i reckon i suggest that to people website you can download it song by song individual songs or the whole album and got it set up so if you download the whole album you also get this little p d f booklet that has all the artwork in it all lyrics and everything just like like the hardware does and then we tunes you can listen to it on zune and a bunch of other digital distribute channels but you know most most people buy c d s still for that type of music or plan but there's folks all around the world t downloads as well at some downloads from europe and australia and we actually get some radio play on this all around the country we hit number seventeen on the living blues radio charts yeah that was in february and we got some play in australia at eight keys we do it live every monday night at i love eighty eight keys dot com and please join us also on channel seventy seven in king county channel twenty three if you're on the broad stripe comcast is seventy seven and we air it on fridays at seven
