Tanner and Ashton, welcome to Whiskey Riffraff.

I kind of want to just dive in introducing yourselves.

I know you guys are two out of six of the creakers,

so I would love for you guys to introduce yourselves,

say what you play, how people can recognize you in the band.

Well, I'm Tanner.

I play the lead guitar and do about half the singing, about half the writing.

My turn? Yeah. I'm Ashton. I play the Cajon. Tanner calls me Thumper. You can recognize me by looking like Cousin It with my hair over my face. But yeah, I'm Ashton.

Okay. Where does the nickname Thumper come from? Actually, I didn't give you that. Scott did. Did Scott give me that? Yep, our banjo players started to call him because you're a thomper. You thump on that cahon box. You say so. We were talking about it before, about how many people think it's a Cajun and not a Cajun. Yeah, you should like hear the way people pronounce it. I've heard Cajon, Cajun, Cajun, Cajun. And like, I just have to say it's a box. Yeah, we just call it box. Right. But like it, yeah, if you know it's a Cajon, you know, but yeah. Yeah, the formal name is the Cajon, but you guys probably just refer to it as like a, like you said, a box. A box, yeah. Because that's, I guess that's what it is, right? Yeah, it's a lot easier to explain that than Cahom, really, yeah. Yeah. Well, there's so many different angles we can kind of dive into. love just sitting here listening to you guys talk uh he's Quinn here is also from Kentucky I am although he doesn't have the accent

to match I'm from western Kentucky so I know you guys are more eastern Kentucky but it's like the

Kentucky there's there's so much like it's so diverse really if you think about it especially

once you get to the eastern part, you're more in the mountains.
