00:00All right, time to reveal our final QYK guitar pole artist.
00:04We got a lineup, but we need a headliner, and he is on the phone right now.
00:09QYK, guitar pole artist number seven.
00:13Who are you?
00:14It's Jimmy Allen here.
00:18Girl, what's your name?
00:20What you drinking?
00:21Yeah, what's your favorite song?
00:24If you're thinking what I'm thinking, we ain't going to be in this bar too long.
00:29Yeah, it might be too soon to say I love you, but you're going to make me want to.
00:36The time was better wasted.
00:38We were summer young and living for a Friday, and freedom was a highway.
00:46Down home, oh, you know mama's still cooking them down home.
00:50I promise I'm working with this guitar about as hard as it came.
00:55I met a girl, bought a house, and put a nice little baby down home.
01:00Jimmy Allen!
01:01Yay!
01:03What's up, bro?
01:04What's up?
01:05I'm good, man.
01:06How y'all feeling?
01:06We're doing great, man.
01:07We've been waiting all week to talk to you.
01:09We now have our full QYK guitar pole lineup.
01:12It's Jackson Dean, Priscilla Block, Ernest, L.V. Shane, Nico Moon, Laney Wilson, and you, sir, Jimmy Allen.
01:18Oh, man, it's going to be a blast.
01:21I've been knowing about this for a while, but I had to keep under wraps.
01:26Yeah, and you're not great at secrets.
01:28Let's be honest, Jimmy.
01:29No.
01:30No, no.
01:31You know, my wife told me don't tell anybody she's pregnant, and I told them.
01:35And there we go.
01:37There you go.
01:38Well, I was joking, but that's a pretty serious offense right there.
01:41Yeah.
01:41Well, speaking of life, wife, kids, and all that, how is everything outside this music business?
01:47Everything's cool.
01:48You know, family's good.
01:51My mom's good.
01:52Siblings are good.
01:53You know, ask me that question in about two weeks.
01:56I might have a different answer.
01:58Oh.
01:59All right.
01:59Okay.
02:00Yeah, that was a joke.
02:02Well, you know, Jimmy, one thing that is so special about the guitar pole is that, you know, it's an intimate show.
02:08So what are the things that you love about these types of shows?
02:12Just the music lovers get to hear the song, you know, and they get to hear the vocal.
02:17There's no, like, distraction or anything, you know, from the light show.
02:23You know, loud music.
02:24It's just, it's raw.
02:26Kind of how the song was when it was written.
02:28Now, do you test out songs this way?
02:30I mean, you may not do it at a guitar pole because people are here to hear your favorites,
02:33but do you feel like that's your best gauge of how great a song is going to be is playing it acoustically?
02:39Oh, sometimes.
02:41Yeah, because a song is a song, you know.
02:44There's a lot of songs that you can hide behind production that aren't good songs, you know.
02:49Right.
02:50You can put some loud guitars with some big drums and convince yourself and everyone else that it's a hit song.
02:55But it's not.
02:56But, you know, just to play a song, just an increase of the guitar,
03:00and have the same reaction and same connection with people.
03:04It's like, you know, it's a hitty, diddy, diddy.
03:06Talking to Jimmy Allen right now, going to be at the QIK Guitar Pole November 6th.
03:10I would be remiss if I didn't ask you about this collaboration with J-Lo.
03:14I just want to, first of all, applaud you.
03:15Yeah!
03:17And second of all, I'll tell you that I'm jealous,
03:19and I want to know what that was like and how that came together.
03:22So a friend of mine works for J-Lo's camp, and he reached out and said,
03:26hey, we want to do a remix of a song with a country artist.
03:30Would you be interested?
03:32I was like, does the day end in the Y?
03:36What do you mean?
03:37We're not a question there.
03:38Yeah, you're like, I'm not wasting any time on this.
03:40We've got to get J-Lo.
03:42I'm not going to get him a chance to change their mind.
03:44Well, that's cool, man.
03:45And then do you get to communicate with her as like, hey, thank you for letting me reach out,
03:48or is it all through people?
03:49Oh, typically through people.
03:51You know, like, if I see her, you know, we'll say hello and stuff like that.
03:55But I'm pretty chill, man.
03:58Like, there's a couple artists that I'm talking to, you know, when I'm not on stage.
04:02But other than that, man, I'm pretty chill, man.
04:03I'm still a pretty small town.
04:05You know, the same friends I grew up with and the same friends I hang out with now.
04:08Well, Jimmy, we are excited.
04:10We've got our full lineup.
04:12Jackson Dean, Priscilla Block, Ernest, Elvie Shane, Nico Moon, Lainey Wilson, and now you, Jimmy Allen.
04:18Oh, I love all of them.
04:20Hey, it's a bad day for love, but a good day for flower shops.
04:24You know, those are just some things that man ought to know.
04:28Nice.
04:28Well done.
04:29A little collab.
04:30Maybe Ernest, Lainey Wilson, and Jimmy Allen may be able to see that.
04:33All right, brother.
04:34Well, we will see you November 6th at the Mahaffey Theater.
04:37We appreciate you so much.
04:38Yeah.
04:39All right.
04:39Y'all take it easy.
04:40All right.
04:40You too, man.
04:40All right.
04:41All right.
04:41All right.
04:41All right.
04:41All right.
