WEBVTT

00:00:08.799 --> 00:00:11.519
Yeah, guys, we'll just kind of jump right in.

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:15.480
So welcome to Good News York at the Winter Fair.

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:20.780
This is pretty fun, right? I am joined by a large

00:00:20.780 --> 00:00:22.239
number of young people. I don't know what happened.

00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:23.839
I was just standing here. Suddenly there's a

00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.359
crowd of folks. Who are you folks? You can start.

00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.370
We are Blue's Ignition. That's Madison. This

00:00:30.370 --> 00:00:33.490
is Joey. I'm Anthony. That's Tyler. That's Enrique,

00:00:33.729 --> 00:00:36.429
and that's Julian. And we've been doing this

00:00:36.429 --> 00:00:39.490
for a couple years now. Yeah, so blues ignition,

00:00:39.850 --> 00:00:43.210
that implies some kind of music, right? Is that

00:00:43.210 --> 00:00:48.109
what's happening here? Yeah. We play gigs a lot.

00:00:48.189 --> 00:00:51.509
We always do the New York State Blues Fest. Awesome.

00:00:51.509 --> 00:00:56.509
That's really fun. Let me ask you. Blues is not

00:00:56.509 --> 00:00:58.869
something you always... feel is synonymous with

00:00:58.869 --> 00:01:01.409
young people, right? So what got you interested

00:01:01.409 --> 00:01:03.450
in playing that kind of music? I think what got

00:01:03.450 --> 00:01:05.950
us interested in blues is kind of like, it's

00:01:05.950 --> 00:01:07.790
a fun community. Like, I feel like, especially

00:01:07.790 --> 00:01:10.329
with the crowds, they're really supportive and

00:01:10.329 --> 00:01:12.790
each other, of course. And it's fun kind of music

00:01:12.790 --> 00:01:15.609
because I feel like a really big thing with blues

00:01:15.609 --> 00:01:17.909
is you can really make it your own and have fun

00:01:17.909 --> 00:01:20.769
with it and make whatever song into how you want

00:01:20.769 --> 00:01:23.049
it. So we like to play around with that and have

00:01:23.049 --> 00:01:25.959
fun. I love it. Now, I got it with I got to assume

00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:30.060
you play some instruments, right? What's everybody

00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:34.120
play? I'd love to hear. I play drums. OK. I also

00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.359
play the drums. Nice. I play the saxophone. All

00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.260
right. I play the bass. Wow. I play the guitar.

00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.459
He's got the bass voice too. Look at this guy.

00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:46.459
I love this. I'm sorry. I play guitar and vocals.

00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:50.900
Wow. I just sing. Just the singer guys. That's

00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:54.319
awesome. What's probably one of your most popular

00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:57.659
songs that people love to hear you play? Rocksteady

00:01:57.659 --> 00:02:01.400
by Aretha Franklin. It's our favorite, probably

00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.099
a crowd favorite. We love playing that song.

00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:07.019
Yeah. That's incredible. And now you said you

00:02:07.019 --> 00:02:09.219

00:02:09.219 --> 00:02:11.099

That's incredible, guys. Let me ask the gentleman,

00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:41.180
our bass man here. How long have you been with

00:02:41.180 --> 00:02:44.639
the group? I've been with the group for about

00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:48.280
last year and this week. Great. Two years. What

00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.860

00:02:51.860 --> 00:02:55.419
join. All right She knows she knows Edgar Pagan.

00:02:55.419 --> 00:02:59.219
He's organizing everything and He's like our

00:02:59.219 --> 00:03:06.439
agent Yeah, she told me she told me to join and

00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.000
I thought it was jazz so my first day I brought

00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:14.500
like a big upright bass And that didn't go well

00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.539
From that point on, I just really liked everyone

00:03:17.539 --> 00:03:19.379
here. They're really nice to socialize with.

00:03:19.500 --> 00:03:22.979

00:03:22.979 --> 00:03:25.259
