And now here they are, Nick and Sue on Chatterbox.
When the stars talk, they talk to Nick and Sue.
the Chatterbox Redux podcast. I'm Nick and I'm
your host and today our special guest is Christopher
Wise. Nick and Sue with Chatterbox giving you
all you need to know about musical entertainment.
Oh yeah! Chatterbox, the best interviews with
Nick and Sue. Chatterbox, the best news We're
just lucky enough to welcome Christopher Wise.
Christopher, welcome to Chatterbox. How are you,
sir? I'm good, Nick. How are you doing? I'm good,
thank you. I'm good, yeah. Yeah, we're all good.
Looking forward to summer, so roll it on. Yeah,
that's what we want here. Right on the South
Coast, it's beautiful, so yeah, bring it on.
We're one of the few places in the South Coast
where in July, you get dolphins and porpoises,
which you don't get in England much, so we get
right off where we are on the seafront here.
Looking forward to it. There you go. Yeah. I'm
right in the middle of the US, you know, and
we don't get any of that stuff. There's no water.
There's hardly a hill. It's just kind of boring.
So I'm kind of dreaming about what it looks like
where you are today, Nick. But what you're going
to have to do, you're going to get yourself over
to the UK again and you're going to have to do
a tour and you have to make sure you come to
the south coast because we are only 35 miles
from Brighton, which is a big city, very vibrant
city. So if you don't come to Hastings where
I am, come to Brighton, you know. I'm going to
put that on my very short invitation list. I
don't have a lot of invitations. It's a place
to be. Okay, now I was reading a bit about you
and quite interesting. I mean, I love the song
you brought out like for Valentine's and that
sounds really good. I've been playing it a little
bit. However, normally I would be chatting to
people about their careers, how they made it,
how they didn't make it, where they've been.
But you didn't get into a studio until, will
you tell us, was it 65 or something? Yeah, I
think I was right at about 65 when I went to
a studio to make my first record of a song of
mine and this is not 1965 this is 865 started
that's very good i could have been you're looking
at me if people can see me they they would know
that but yeah you know i i went off and i i had
a different world and a different career and
a different life and uh did music on the side
and sang in bands you know cover bands and through
a crazy set of circumstances uh was convinced
to write my own music uh and uh and we did and
we made a record and it took off i had no idea
what would happen i had no plans for what to
do with the record other than at that point in
my life i wanted to make the record and we made
the record and when i was done i was like we
did it but that's when it all started that's
the crazy thing nick i thought i thought the
goal had been achieved the thing had just started
it was crazy okay so you do that but Basically
the recording studio thing was based on some
poems that you'd written, turned them into songs,
recorded them as songs I believe. And when was
that? Was that last year or when did you do that?
Well, I actually went into the studio in 2022.
I think it was May of 2022. And sort of my little
backstory behind it, if you wanted, you know,
I had been in cover bands and we were more bluesy
than anything. So I really kind of got into the
blues. I discovered the blues by being a blues
singer. I mean, that's where I got to it. You
know, I got in with these guys and they're playing
all these blues classics, Key to the Highway
and, you know, on and on it goes. And it's like,
man, I got to get into this, and I did, and I
got into it big time. So one of the things I
wanted to do was do more than sing, I wanted
to play the harmonica. So I picked up a harmonica,
and I actually went to a harmonica camp in Clarksdale,
Mississippi. And if you and I went down to Clarksdale,
Mississippi today, Nick, there would be a bunch
of people from the UK there. Really, it's the
center of where the blues... began right there
in the Mississippi Delta. So I went for a week
to work on Blues Harmonica. Believe it or not,
you can go there and stay for a week and work
on the Blues Harmonica. And I met a guy who became
great friend, mentor, co -writer and producer.
Ralph Carter, there, who was an instructor. Ralph
was kind of rock and roll royalty in his younger
days. He wrote songs and toured and was tour
musical director with Eddie Money, who was a
great rock and roller back in the 80s. And somehow
I'm in this setting in the Mississippi Delta
drinking in the blues and probably drinking an
adult beverage with this guy, Ralph Carter, who
tells me after a few days at the camp, hey, man,
you can do this." It was almost like, hey kid,
you can do this. Well, I'm like 60 years old,
but he was like, hey little buddy, you can do
this. And I'm like, what do you mean? He goes,
you could do this, man. You got to start writing
your own stuff. And blah, blah, blah. He said,
we're going to make a record one day. I said,
I'd love to be on your record. He goes, no, we're
making your record. Your record. And I'm like,
OK, fine. So I go home. I go back to my world.
I'm an advertising guy. That's what I was. I
own an ad agency. And I was a writer. I've been
a writer forever. I got five books in print.
I've written millions of words that people have
paid me to write. And so I'm a writer, but I'd
never written a song. And so Ralph said, you
got to start writing songs. And one day I read
an article about a new studio in Muscle Shoals
that this guy had bought this old mansion and
kind of refurbed it into a recording studio where
the band can stay for the week. And away we go,
and so I snapped a picture of it, I texted it
to Ralph, he's out near Los Angeles, California,
you know, way out on the west coast. I'm here
kind of on the eastern part of the U .S. And
I said, hey man, here's where we're gonna make
our record. To be honest, it was a joke. And
he said, yeah, it looks good. When do we record?
And I could tell he wasn't kidding. And I went
back to him and I was like, Ralph, I don't have
any songs written. And he goes, well, You better
get started. Yeah. So we talked and I mean, I
think it was 12 weeks later. I met him again
in Mississippi. I picked him up at the airport
in Memphis, Tennessee. Great music spot in the
US. We drove 90 minutes to Clarksdale, Mississippi.
We sat there for three days on a picnic bench
with a pile of lyrics. I had written maybe 15
or 20 songs in those 12 weeks. And they were
just words on paper at that point. You said poems.
I would say, no, probably more lyrics. And we
sat there and made them into songs and recorded
them on my iPhone, little demos. And Ralph was
the music, you know, brilliance and genius. You
know, I contributed the words and then we collectively
worked on it together and improve both sides
of it. And at that point, he said, I'll produce
the album. I'll do it in Muscle Shoals. Well,
in fact, I think I had already booked the recording
time before he and I ever met to make them into
songs. It's like, look, I'm 65 years old. I have
to do this. I'm not sure why, but I have to do
it. And so we took those demos. He auditioned
studio musicians. He wrote charts. We showed
up on a Monday morning. We got there actually
Sunday night, but Monday morning I met the band.
I didn't know these guys. I didn't know how you
do a recording session. I didn't know what I
would do. Ralph said, don't worry about it. I'll
handle it. You just stick with me, friend. And
he's a very unassuming man. And I was like, I
trust you. I trust you. And a week later, at
the end of the week, we walked out of there with
our record. It didn't have a name. My band didn't
have a name. I didn't have a name as a performer.
And so I had this record and then through some
crazy circumstances got connected with a record
label in Memphis, Tennessee, and they signed
us a big radio records. Sam Phillips is nephew,
the great Sam Phillips of Sun Studios and Sun
Records. He started a company called Selecto
Hits run today by Johnny Phillips who also runs
the big radio records label and he signed me
to a record deal to put out this album called
Stuck in the Mud. The funny thing is, I'm bouncing
around Nick, but When I was on my way down to
pick up Ralph at the airport in Memphis, this
was for us to take my lyrics and try to make
them into songs. I looked down at my GPS of my
Ford Explorer SUV that every American drives,
right? So I'm looking down there and I'm like,
where in the heck am I? And it's like three hours
from Memphis. So I'm three hours from Memphis.
I'm like, oh man, that's a song. And so the first
song on our record is that we, our first debut
album is Three Hours from Memphis. So I'm in
the car there and I have this idea about this
guy, you know, it's fictional. He's going to
Memphis, he's going to meet some big record guy
and he's going to be a star. So that was kind
of what the song was about. So I'm in the car
and I mean, in a flash, I had the idea in my
head. for the song, the whole song, every bit
of it, the whole, the way the song worked, the
story. And I was like, I was like scared. It
was like, I don't want to stop driving. I'm in
this groove. And so I reached over and grabbed
a little. The notepad, I have a notepad that
has little pieces of paper like this. That might
even be some of the lyrics, but and I wrote the
song on the little console as I was driving down
the road at 65, 70 miles an hour. And I remember,
you know, Took me about an hour and I had the
song done just on these little scraps of paper.
And then two days later, we made it into a song.
Twelve weeks later, we recorded it and everything.
And the funny thing is, Nick, that song. I didn't
realize it was it was autobiographical. It was
about me. I wrote about meeting a guy, a music
man in Memphis. I didn't know anybody in Memphis,
but and. I got introduced to a guy in Memphis
long after the album was made. So the story of
the song played out in my life, but I wrote it
before it happened and I didn't know it. I mean,
you talk about bizarre. And so now when I get
an inkling about music or somebody says, would
you be interested in doing this? I just say yes,
because I'm not sure what it's about, but I'm
sure not going to say no. So there you go. That's
a great sign. If you can predict things that
well, I'd like the lottery numbers for Saturday,
please. Can you do that? That's a good prediction,
wasn't it? I love it. It was. You shouldn't call
it what you like. Well, that's wonderful how
that works out. Yeah, it did. And so there we
had this album and I... I did it unlike other
people, other people, you know, they have a band,
they go around, they play little gigs and, and
backyards and then bigger gigs and blah, blah,
blah. And then they write their own music and
then they get a record. Well, I did it exactly
the opposite. I did a record and then we got
it out there. So we did it the opposite because,
and you know, Nick, I couldn't have done it any
other way because. Am I going to do that? Starting
at age 65, start and play little gigs? I was
in a band, we were a cover band. We did festivals,
not big festivals, little things, wine festivals,
beer things. We had a lot of fun with it, but
it wasn't going to get us anywhere. So I had
to get the record out there and that traveled
out and got us going. It traveled for us. Wonderful.
Let's move you to 2025. It looks like this bit
was quite a good year for you. Pretty good. Yeah.
So we were talking about the Roots Music Reports
top 100 blues albums of 2025. Now, a lot of artists
out there turning out stuff like that. However,
you were the only artist to have had two albums
on that 2025 chart. Yeah. I mean, again, it's
crazy. You look, you know, look at the names
on that. They're all the blues acts, you know,
and I'm the only artist that got two of them
in there. So it was my debut album. And then
I did a follow -up album, which was a live album,
because I had to keep stuff going. I'm not out
touring. I'm not out in front of fans. So I said,
let's do a live album and just put it out there.
We'll record. We'll do the first album. We'll
record it as a show. And we did. And so then
the second album does well. And as you say, both
of them ended up, which is crazy. albums I don't
I'm new to the whole business but I don't think
they hang around that long that's why it's so
unusual to have two albums that would land in
the top hundred one of them I think somewhere
in the 20s and one of them down in the 90s but
one of them was a new album one of them was a
year old and and it's still hanging around there
yeah to be honest with you my my in albums in
general in various charts whether it be a top
like might be the billboard 200 albums or it
could be the uk top 100 albums Out of experience,
I think the albums that are lower down hang around
much longer. The peak is so slow, it's not a
bad thing. It's just bubbling out the top 20
or the top 30. It's not actually a bad thing.
Not if you're hanging around for a year, it's
not, is it? You know, and I know I do believe
that the lower down albums the ones that don't
something, you know You got albums that have
got some money behind them And there's this big
don't matter what chart is it could be this one.
We're talking about it could be on the billboard
chart It is irrelevant. Really. It has a push
from a record company. It has that big hit It's
dropping down in the singles chart in the uk.
The average number one. Um is in the charts four
weeks That's the number one Yeah club it's So
that's why I'm saying, I think the fact is that
it's a lower down charting albums. That's hence
the longevity, which is good. And also people
may be talking about the first album. This is
a guy's first album. And that might be the one
that's giving it legs as well. So it could be.
Yeah. And you know, we've been on it. I hope
it's around for 2026 end of year as well. Yeah,
it just keeps going, which is really cool. And,
you know, we've been on other charts. There's
all sorts of charts. I mean, I'm not going to
be on a pop chart. I'm not a pop artist. We're
in that blues genre and Americana genre here
in the U .S. We sometimes find ourselves there.
But, you know, our stuff's been so well received
in Europe, in the UK, France, Australia, Canada.
We just have a lot of of interest and that's
what I love maybe about England and Europe in
general is just the appreciation for music, maybe
more so than in the U .S. I feel. I just feel
that especially sort of the genre I'm in, the
blues, of just the reverence for that music is
tremendous. in the UK. It's tremendous in France
and all over, of course, Europe. In the UK, that's
a very appreciative audience. be quiet and listen
and enjoy it they will give your applause at
the end and they'll give you know a rapturous
applause at the end but um so let me say a little
more sophisticated if that's the right wording
and they're not all millionaires and well -to
-do people living in merchants but they are yeah
there's that sort of background and uh yeah um
you'll notice that in the uk the type of venues
that uh you probably get booked in and things
like that there might be more wine bars or larger
places yeah yeah As opposed to a pub in the back
street or club. The places to book that are different
as well. Jazz clubs and blues clubs and things.
I had the pleasure of recording with Emma Wilson
who's a an English blues singer. We both work
with Selecto Hits. Johnny Phillips, Big Radio
Records is my label. She's on a different label,
but we both distribute around the world through
Selecto Hits, which is the company. And they
introduced us. And so she and I did a Christmas
song that I wrote, and then she helped co -wrote.
And Ralph Carter jumped in and helped write as
well. And so we did that one. And that was just
such a delight. And she had one day in her schedule.
Uh, she said, well, I'm touring, I'm doing a
little tour of the mid south in the U S I got
one day where I'm not doing something. I said,
Hey, if I wrote a song, would you record it with
me? She said, yeah. So crazy, just crazy. We
booked a studio and they happened to have one
day open in the next six months. I tried and
tried to find a studio, Johnny Phillips, who
again, through the Phillips family, he said,
relax pal. I'll see if I can make something happen.
And he got us with a Royal studios. Famous studio
Al Green recorded everybody's recorded at Royal
and we recorded with their band the high rhythm
section and put out a couple of Christmas tunes
and That was that was just a delightful thing
to do And and particularly to be able to do it
with Emma who has such a good audience in the
UK and in Europe okay so let's get to 2026 now
we got this sort of a valentine's there's two
on to talk about we've got this valentine's thing
so her name in my song love i love the picture
lots of those love heart sweets with a broken
one her name in my song is the big one in the
front so christopher wise and the tellers so
uh that was uh for valentine's day and we've
got another release that came out on march the
fifth this ain't that tell us about that yeah
well i'll go back i'll start with the uh i'll
call it the valentine's tune but yeah it's anything
but a valentine's tune lovely i like it's actually
a breakup song man so i had this idea of uh You
know, the punchline of this thing is this guy
will never ever under any circumstances put her
name in my song. I mean, that's kind of what
it is. So it's kind of a twist. And I thought,
well, I'm going to see if I can write sort of
instead of a love song, maybe a hate song. This
dude hates her. So you listen to the song and
it actually has such a beautiful, beautiful music
to it that I just simply adore. But the lyrics
are, I mean, this guy is, he's ticked off, man.
He's not happy. And he's not gonna put her name
in a song. And then it became a real challenge
for me. I thought, can I write a song about a
girl and have it be a love song, which is really
a hate song, and not put her name in the song?
And I did it. we never mentioned her name in
the song. And people come to me and they'll say,
they listen to the song, say, all right, Chris,
who was the gal that dumped you, man? I mean,
who is this girl? I'm like, I made the whole
thing up. I never had this happen to me. I just
made it up. I had an email come to me, how the
guy found me. I think he was from Bulgaria. He
goes, I am convinced. I know who she is in the
song. Her name is Katrina. Yeah, man, if that's
who you think it is, you just go with that. That's
good, man. And I said, no, there's no girl. It
was all made up. A traitor in Bulgaria. Yeah,
so she's there somewhere. He's running around.
Yeah, OK. He's over there mad in Bulgaria about
some girl who's dumped him, I guess. But, you
know, it's so funny. That's what's great about
songs. Oh, brilliant. You knew there had to be
someone somewhere. Yeah, he's taking this thing
real seriously. I'm like, dude, I'm just goofing
around. But we played it serious. No, I actually
love the song. It's one of my favorite songs
that we've done. But I just had a ton of fun
with it. I think I may have told you I was a
writer before I did this. I mean, I'm a hired
gun, man. You give me an assignment and a deadline,
and I'll get it done. People say, well, how could
you write this album and do your first album
when you're 65 years old? You met in 12 weeks
after you agreed to do it. It's like, I had a
deadline. I used to write for a newspaper. I
used to write for a magazine. I'm an ad guy.
They don't wait for you to get your. ad done.
You get your stuff done or you can't live in
this business. I've even done lots of freelance.
I know how that works. No, the deadlines do not
work, end of. Well, you miss that, yeah. You
don't miss a deadline. And if you're freelancing,
you miss that, you don't get any more work at
all. No. So I think people don't understand,
you know, the hard thing for me was to agree
to Ralph to do it because I knew if I agreed
to it, I'd do it. Yeah. And I knew it would be
hard work. And so I put it off. But not for very
long, so we eventually did it. So the second
song, I'll get back to this one, Nick. The second
song is another kind of goofy song. I actually
recorded both of these songs in Muscle Shoals
in 2022. And I didn't do anything with them because
they were kind of outliers. They didn't really
fit the vibe of the rest of the album, my first
album, which was pretty much blues most of the
way. And so I. I just kind of had these songs
laying around and I played them for Scott Sexton.
He's a guy in the music business, you know, and
I played it for my record label. And they're
like, both of these, they're like, what are you?
how come you haven't released these songs you
knucklehead these are great and uh so whatever
i'm like really they're like yes you have to
release this song so the second one is this ain't
that yeah and this was based on i just you know
as a songwriter and you know you're a writer
you know things pop into your head so i had this
phrase pop into my head this ain't that and that's
where it's at and so i thought well that's kind
of funny that's It's kind of like me and you,
you're in school, and I'm over here, but all
the cool people are over there. They left me
out. This ain't that. And that's where it's at.
So I thought, well, I'll write a song about that
someday. And then I thought, well, I got to tell
the story. And it's like, no, I'm not going to
tell the story. I'm just going to make it a total
kind of nonsense song that really doesn't have
any meaning. And so that was my idea. My inspiration
for this song was a great Louis Prima. And I
don't know if you know Louis Prima, but a lot
of people know the song Jump, Jive, and Whale,
which was a song from the 50s. A great jump song
and great high energy. And so that was kind of
the inspiration. And one of the things I loved
about Louis Prima's Jump, Jive, and Whale...
was the fact that it didn't mean anything. It
was just a bunch of kind of nonsense to a cool
beat that got you up and kind of got you moving,
man. So I thought, can I write a song like that?
I've written serious songs. I've written my friend
got murdered songs. I mean, I've written all
sorts of things. This guy's a drunk and he's
not going to make it. I mean, I write blues songs.
And then I thought, can I write just a nonsense
song? So there you go. This ain't that. And we
had a lot of fun. And to make it even more nonsensical,
we were in the studio recording it with Ralph.
And I remember he and I are in the control room,
and maybe somebody's out there playing a solo
part or something, some instrument. I said, hey,
Ralph, how would you feel if we put a kazoo on
this song? He's like, oh, kazoo, man. I love
it. Let's do it. And I go to Michael, who runs
the studio. I say, Michael, you got any kazoo's
over here? He's like, we got kazoo's here? No,
no kazoo's in the studio. And he's like, Dylan,
get over here. Dylan's the intern. Dylan, get
over here. Get in the car and go to the music
shop and buy some kazoos. So boom, he goes down
the road and comes back. And he can now say he
spent his summer getting kazoos for Christopher
Wise and the Tellers. But he comes back with
kazoos. And so we put the kazoo on there. And
it's like, I got this part. And I'm kind of playing
it. And it goes up high. And I'm like, I can't
play it. So I'm like, how many kazoos we got?
Oh, good. We got a couple of them. So I say,
can somebody play the tenor part, kazoo, the
kazoo tenor, the tenor kazoo, and I'll play the
bass kazoo. And so we had two kazoo's and then
I put a harmonica in the middle of it. So that
contributes to the hijinks of the song. I was
just listening. I just watched a movie the other
day about the great George Martin, the producer
who used to produce. you know, silly stuff, comedy
records and Peter Sellers and The Goon Show and
all that stuff. And so maybe this had a little
bit of a tribute to all my great British comedian
kind of folks out there who went ahead of me.
But it was just to be funny and the songs out
there and I did have somebody. send me a note
on Facebook or something. Oh, I really, you know,
I got such great meaning out of this song. I
don't know if they were kidding, but it's like,
no, you didn't. You might need some help. There's
nothing here. Oh, they're on some good stuff.
Could be that. You never know. Something's in
the water. Could be anything. This is Nick and
Sue with Cheddar Box, giving you all you need
to know about musical entertainment. Cheddar
Box. Cheddar Box. I've got to ask you, while
we're talking about things like that, what did
you answer the guy in Bulgari? Did you actually
say, yeah, yeah, that's her? Did you actually
say, you should have done? I should have done
it, but I think I just thought the easy way and
told the truth, Nick. I said, well, it wasn't
actually anyone particular, but have a nice day.
Good luck with your life, you're going to need
it. So, Kate, we'll do your social media in just
a moment before I let you go. What's your next
plan for 2026? More singles? Another album? You
know, a couple of things have happened in the
last two months. I've done two recording sessions
in Nashville, Tennessee. I've gotten asked to
start doing some music for television and movies.
Nothing to announce, no big scores yet, but I
have recorded several things and got a great
producer in Nashville now I'm working with to
make songs for that world and he's been very
successful and we hope it happens. These songs
were a little bit more country in nature and
it's really fun like to write for a movie. I
got a little thing, here's like three sentences
about the movie and it's like, give us this theme
song. And so, you know, again, I'm just having
fun with all this. It's like, heck yes, man,
because I remembered Jim Riley, the producer.
He's like, hey, I got to have we got to be recording
this in 10 days. He goes, you're going to have
to have something written in a day or two. I
said, I'll take it. Give it to me. And, you know,
I wrote it overnight. And a few days later, we're
recording it in the studio. And I can't wait
for that one to get out there. We'll we'll release
it as a single as well. I don't care what happens
to it in the in the movie world. And then I'll
be meeting Ralph Carter once again this time
in May in Clarkstone, Mississippi with another
pile of lyrics. He and I are going to produce
another album of originals. I've got one song
written and I've got some work to do and a deadline,
but that's all right. You'll be good. I just
want there to be another Katrina somewhere. I
don't care what she's called. When we meet next
time, come and talk about the album when you've
sorted it all out. I might write a song about
a guy writing me from Bulgaria. That might be
a good song. I'll do it. I'll just do a song
called Katrina. Yeah. And then if he says, well,
is this about Katrina? And I said, no, no, this
is about Katrina and the waves, this one. No,
no, no. Nick, here's the way I write songs. I'm
going to give you the title of the song. Her
name wasn't Katrina. That'll be my song. Very
good. And then in the song, I won't tell you
what her name is again. Again. Brilliant. I love
it. I'm going to write that down. Her name wasn't
Katrina. That might be on the next album. I'll
keep you posted, man. I'll tell you what. Not
only the next album, it's got to be on the next
interview. Make sure that's our follow -on, all
right? Well, this has been a blast. I could do
this every day with you, man. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. It's what I do. I just like meeting real
people. And, you know, like I say, as I say,
there could be A -list as well. Susie Cottro
is the regular on here. You know her, obviously.
Great. Great rock chick. You know. She's just
a normal person deep down gives her opinions
does that and boy is she funny. It's just what
it's like We just chat as people You got something
to sell i've got a show that I need to guest
on it works really well You know what I mean?
You know One time, you know nick I was talking
to ralph carter and ralph got started I mean,
he's probably I don't know maybe 20 years old
and he's playing in front of 25 000 people with
eddie money and so i'm like ralph I feel like
I missed out man. I wish I would have done the
music thing and, you know, I became an advertising
guy. And now I'm getting it to it way later in
life. And, you know, I feel like, you know, I
don't know, maybe I'm just a little wishful thinking,
you know, regretful that I didn't do it. He goes,
no, believe me, it worked out perfectly. And
if I would have done this at age 25, would I
have been any good? No, I don't think I would
have. I had to get beat up and run a business
and write. write advertising and books and do
all sorts of things. You may be, I can't talk,
I don't know. Obviously we don't know the 20,
21 year old Christopher Wise, but you did. But
when the music business then was a hell of a
rat race, you were 20, that would have been your
living. Yeah. A different thing. You had to,
you'd be forced to write stuff you probably didn't
want to write, where you're writing stuff you
do want to write now. Right. Things like that.
We haven't got much time left. What I'd like
to do is do some social media So uh, chuck up
web websites any social media you got chuck it
out them now, please Yeah, facebook. So christopher
wise and tellers on facebook. We've got fans
all over the world, which is really fun So, you
know follow us all that kind of stuff. We're
putting stuff up all the time Our youtube channel
is just blowing up. We've got we're getting close
to 10 000 subscribers We put up youtube's all
the time in the studio Rehearsal doing stupid
things, you know, you name it we got stuff there
YouTube channel So Christopher wise and the tellers
you can certainly subscribe there So I really
focus just on Facebook and YouTube and and then
our website I am a writer and I've written everything
there and once you get there you're gonna say
whoa Why'd you write so much? It's like I'm a
writer, man. That's what I do. So our website's
christopherwise .com. Christopher, W -Y -Z -E
.com. There's a bunch of stuff up on there too.
So love to have everybody join us. And just to
get there while we're thinking about it, Christopher
Wise, the Wise is spelt W -Y -Z -E being the
English pronunciation. So don't go putting in
W -I -S -E. It's W -Y -Z -E. and you probably
find them anyway, but there you go. So yeah,
all good. That'll do it. Yeah, that'll get everybody
there, Nick. And we're on every streaming platform,
you know, all over the world. We've got a great
distributor in selecto hits out of Memphis. And
so they get our music everywhere. You can look
at it, whatever you listen to. I must say I do
like the her name in my song I know you're doing
other stuff we do do a show a live show here
in the UK very popular in Europe it is called
hit or miss it's a live show yeah North Sea International
we're just get to the end of the season but And
that I would be quite keen on entering I will
let you know if we do and the listeners votes
for it and there's all sorts of stuff so I listen
to what else you bring out but that one I think
would be a really good one for the mainstream
audiences to listen to first to get to know you
Oh, that would be so much fun. Leave it with
me and I'll keep you posted on it. It's in good
hands. You get your fans to do it. But I do it
with my partners too, that show. And it's on
a Sunday night here in the UK. It's a very, very
popular show. And people vote for what they think
is going to be a hit or a miss. That's fantastic.
Love to have you do it. Take it away, man. That's
great. OK. Anyway, Christopher Wise, it's been
great meeting you, even though it's an hour later
than it should have been or whatever. I haven't
been told it's my fault. Yeah, of course. People
who change the clock. I have the same person
in my home, Nick. You've got this one full time,
anyway. It's a great pleasure. I should be in
on it next time, probably. Pleasure meeting you.
And yeah, I'm looking forward to this going out
and sharing this with the UK audience. And Christopher
Weiss, thank you for coming on Shatterbox UK.
