Treatment. . .

Yes Gowho: Ron Pope, Andrea von Kampenwhen: 8:00 p. m. Where: M. Smalls Theater, Millvotetickets: $ 32, Ticketweb. com

Singer and composer Ron Pope will return to Pittsburgh on Saturday, and deserves to be a more lovely than its recent, involuntary.

Pope joined several artists on February 16 in Morgantown, W. va. , to record an episode of “Mountain Stage” for NPR radio stations, however, the weather has hatched its original flight from Pittsburgh in Nashville.

“There is a snowstorm and a lot of wind in loop, so we arrive at Pittsburgh and our connection space canceled,” Pope said last week. “We ended up having to fly in Dallas, then from Dallas to Nashville. We finished Mendacy at the airport around 8 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon.

This time in the region, Pope touches Saturday at the Theater of Mr. Smalls from its Neon Global and Glass excursion, with Andrea von Kampen. His new album, “American Man, American Music”, has just launched on February 14 on his own seal, Brooklyn Basement Records, with an addition of songs from Southern Rock to “Back-Porch Bluegrass”.

“I would say that it is a fairly intelligent estimate or an approximation of what my music looks like my head at this time,” he said, “what I really believe that everything he can do as an artist is to perceive what he needs to do at a given time, what he needs to like and then wait for this to transfer this in anything he can create in the global and other people, differently, he lives among his ears among his ears. “

Pope, who for the first time made glory on the web with an early viral success, “to Drop in the Ocean”, in 2007, will bring a smaller organization of the same old “quite gigantic” organization.

“For this tour, I wanted to see anything that has filled the hole between the solo screens and the great set. I configured this incredible quartet where all are multi -stertunts, everyone sings,” he said. “So you get the great dynamic things that come from the Giantst group. We have songs where there are electric battery and bass and electric guitar, and feel giants and full. And there are other sensitive arrangements where we all play acoustic tools around a single microphone.

In a phone call from Nashville, Pope discussed the meaning behind some of the new songs, they have an “A drop in the ocean” on their career and social media operations:

With a song like “Life in Your Years”, do you show your conversion priorities as you get old?

Certainly. I went to the road when I was a child. I did an excursion almost my total life and when I was young and I started, it was simple and herbal for me to be on the road. I did not feel connected to a specific position. It didn’t have a genuine sense of the house. I come from New Jersey, then I moved to Georgia when I was 11 years old and spent the rest of my time developing there. So I never felt like this sense of position that makes other people stink at home.

And then I met my wife, and that repositioned everything. Now I feel this severity, this traction of space, and we have a girl, she is six years old. And so, more and more I feel a feeling of space that surrounds my circle of relatives. When I am on the road, I feel this traction, the charm of my other people and the position in which I am destined to be. So, “life in your years” is a type of prayer that I wrote for my relative circle while I was absent to tell them that I am on the way back. I am indicated in this direction.

And also to say that I am proud of the life I live. I didn’t expect to finish where I am. I am a child with a blue collar of a very normal family. The concept that I would pass out and write songs that other people would sing around the world would be as voluntary as saying that I was going to become an astronaut or cure cancer. It simply did not seem realistic. But that happened to me, and I am very grateful for my family, which allowed me to have the freedom to pass out and continue this dream and pursue music, so all this is cooked there. It is just a reminder for my wife, for my daughter, for my mother, to all the other people I love, that I am on the way back.

You have argued your wife and she is very inspired for many of your songs. Does never say enough, write a song about the other?

Well, in this album, there is a fairly wide collection of music themes. There are songs in my appointment with my wife, which has been an existing theme that crosses all my solo albums since I started as a solo artist. It turned out to be just when I began to pass out with my wife that I was writing what was happening to become my first album alone, “Daylight. ” And so, from this moment until today, there is this line through the adventure of our lives through two children, discovering what we mean to each other and where it will take us, until today where we are married, and we have been married for many years, and we have a child, and we have lived part of our lives of each one and we were among others.

But in this album, there are songs in my beginnings as a guitarist and composer that pass along the way with my friends and trips, and it is only in adulthood and seeks to perceive who I am globally and how I can peel my music with other people. I think at first, when you pass along the way, you only know you need to play music. I only sought to be a guitarist in a group. I wanted to sing my songs and start like everyone else. You enter a bar and play songs for other people who do not care, and there are moments of this in this album, as “nobody is going on to be alive. “

“Mama led a Mustang” is another in which I review it to perceive it. So there are songs in this component of my life. And “the Queen of Fort Payne, Alabama”, this choir speaks of the point of my life in which I was already in a group, but I did not know that I would pass out and see to do so. I was doing music because I was dating my friends and that was all we did because we like to play music. And all these songs are transferred to the component of the story that is the life that I live now. So it’s a bit of everything.

I am the main character of all the songs of this album, for one. There is a song entitled “I Gotta Change (or I’m Gon Ghel Die)”, and I wanted to write a song about the opioid crisis, from the point of view of my friends who are convalescence, because I was light and sought to write an angry song pointing to the pharmaceutical companies. But I learned that anger is not in the middle of Hitale. Hope is in the middle. All those who know that they are recovering are so complete of hope. So I wanted to write anything that venerated those other people and get rid of my own ego with them, because it is not my story to say it. So there are some things splashed on this album in terms of taletellas.

When the songs tell the stories, do you think he creates a greater opportunity for the listener to perceive what you are looking for?

I don’t know if he actually tells what an artist tries to do, because art is very subjective. So, if you listen to a song or look at a painting, if you feel that it is your mother, this is your mother for you. It doesn’t matter if I did it and I think she is my daughter, or I think they are a vacation that I did when I was little, it really doesn’t matter that it means that for me, because you delight with that, it is very personal. And then I tell the stories the songs because I think that other people are interested in them and they listen to me to talk about it is a component of the way they live music.

But I would say that once you hear the music, it is yours. It’s about you. I did it for myself, but I gave birth to attribute to other people. And then I need it to be the impression that this is what you need. And the most productive developer I had with my music that comes out in the global, those songs, discovered other people, then those other people really reached their own meaning. And so, the songs I wrote that they communicated over my center that broke, other people use them as the first dance song at their wedding and the songs I wrote about Fall love, other people played their grandmother’s funeral. It is a wild understanding to do something, and it means one thing for you, then other people in the global take it and it means that many other things. Therefore, it is one of my favorite parties for the publication of music, it is to see what other people will label it.

With “A drop in the ocean”, how do you feel that it has an effect of this song all those years later?

When you are a small child and start making music, you dream of one day developing and making a successful album. And when you do, it is surreal. It is scary at points. It’s fun. This can be shameful. This can be edifying because before this moment of my life, other people had no concept of what I created. And that meant nothing to them when you said my name. And then I can do anything without the cooked judgment of other people outside. No one thought: “Oh, that’s what he does. He does anything that looks like this, or is going down like that. It is this type of song where this type of character is. So I can do anything.

It seemed very lazy in a way that I did not realize before crossing this invisible line where other people knew who it was and knew that they had done something they liked or that they did not like, but they knew what it was. They had already heard it. It is difficult to do anything that comes out in the global and has reached so many other people, especially that he was so young and, therefore, he did not know precisely what he was looking to do and had to perceive this under the foci that come from this song that extended and made all those friends around the world. It was a blessing. It was an attractive delight, and I wrote the song with my most productive friend Zach Berkman. Zach and I controlled to delight you, which makes it a bit more normal. It is like a normal component of our lives because we did this, I think I was 20 when we wrote the song and I was 22 years old or something, so it was anything we could live in combination and made things a little more manageable because it happened to any of us, not just me.

First the glory passed with MySpace, so how did he go with the navigation of all other social network applications, and he is lacking or satisfied that they have gone?

I started on social networks even before I had a name. Before saying social networks, I did. My brother John really is in technological things. He is one of the first to adopt anything new, so he grabs me things. It is still to date. He told me about MySpace Super early, so I went up to MySpace at the beginning, and it was a really incredible way to transmit my music and attach with people.

It was the days of the farm west of social networks when you can send a message to an individual user and say: “Hey, I saw that you like those two teams and gave you this song in your profile. I am not a robot. You use a green cowboy blouse and you have a brown dog in your photo. So I am a user. Do you should pay attention to my music?” And then, another, he wrote others for each other: “Aye,” or I leave me. And I hate him. It was a genuine interaction.

It is a magical moment for the transmission of my music. And I somehow in this first elegance of other people who left here and I have become popular on the Internet. Fortunately, we saw from the beginning that everything on the web is constantly evolving. People will pass from one position to another position, so it is vital to have the ear constantly on the floor and see where other people pass and how they can live throughout the area. From the beginning, we did a Facebook and a Tiktok and before Tiktok, we did Twitter and Instagram and we all did them. Snapchat and Shorts YouTube and YouTube.

Continue round trip, continue doing things, then anything disappears, then they have put a new feature and return. I have tried to continue paying attention and continue doing things anywhere where other people live their lives, because it is the magic of the Internet. If you are in a position to be informed to navigate those new spaces, you can percentage of your art in a position in which other people align a live component of their lives and where they align a position point to the component of your attention.

I think that for many musicians, it seems a burden, but for me, because I was already doing this at the beginning of what has become my career, I went to those spaces before having fans, that does not seem a burden. It seems a normal component of my life, so I am satisfied to navigate in new spaces, see anything new and see to perceive how to make things that make sense to other people in the context of the new position they live without allowing this to reposition the art that I believe. I will make my music in the same way, whatever the social networks we use this year, then I will perceive how to remodel Tiktok that other people may need or how in Bluesky or Twitter.

. . . Internet continued blessing me, but I don’t need to be informed to use any other social networks application. (Laughs) who would say the least strange is coming. I have never been able to do vines that I said: “Oh, it seems an expression of what I need to create as an artist. ” It was too restrictive.
