WHAT THE BAND SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
“This song is about the exhaustion of the road, the understanding that this is an absurd lifestyle, and the defiance in the face of all of the people who tell us not to do it. Us simply knowing that we’ll never stop.”
ABOUT THE BAND:
A move to Nashville to pursue a musical dream. An historic 1,600 mile tour completed on foot. The impending release of a two-part album. For Christopher Kessenich, the Wisconsin-bred singer-songwriter behind Arts Fishing Club, all of these were essential steps of personal commitment to spend his life making music—something he always imagined was possible but that crippling fear and societal pressure almost derailed before it could begin.
After landing in Nashville for college, recording a solo EP, and completing a 1600 mile walking tour with folk collective The Walking Guys, Kessenich began to search for bandmates to help realize the Arts Fishing Club sound he had always imagined. He hit the road putting together show after show with countless iterations of band members. After two years of touring, he finally found a home in Matthew Siffert (Bass), Peter Eddins (Keys/Sax), and Jimi Greene (Lead Guitar). The four began to plan their debut album, Human.
For Arts Fishing Club, their guiding principle comes from the wisdom of generations past. “Both of my grandfathers are named Art and the majority of my memories with both of them are centered around fishing,” Kessenich explains. “They taught me that fishing is about going out every day with the intention for success. Every single line you cast, you are trying, yet when you come up empty handed, the day is not wasted.” The name Arts Fishing Club is an homage to these familial roots and is a play on words to help keep focus in their grandfathers’ philosophies. “We are fishing for our art (music) everyday with intention and the name is a constant reminder that it is not about catching a “big fish” (writing a hit song), it is about creating with people that we love.”
The songs, written over a four-year period, each explore a specific emotion or idea of who we are as humans. Their musical mission statement is three-pronged: to help people ask the difficult questions of themselves and society, to articulate love (the good and the bad), and to get people to dance. Recorded at Smoakstack Studios in Nashville with Collin Pastore (Lucy Dacus, Collin Elmore) and Zach Zinck at the helm, the first set of songs ranges from somber atmosphere to fun-loving summery anthems—all with a deeply-rooted set of questions at their core.
