Thanks, Andy. - Lucas Cates Band! Thank you for having us. - Our pleasure. That was "Might Sound Strange" from Lucas Cates' "Contradictory" record. We're also going to hear and have "All the Pieces," the new record, which just came out. Why don't you introduce everybody? This is Mark Noxon on bass guitar, over here, everybody. This is my good friend Jesse Warmka on the drums. And my good friend Kenny Leiser who also plays the violin, and the electric guitar. You want to elaborate on the cougars in Rhinelander? Ooh, I don't know. This is public television. I might get myself in trouble. Uh, not really. Wildlife! - (Laughs) Wildlife, scenic. I bought a camouflage hat so I'd blend in. There you go. "All the Pieces" was done at Smart Studio. And Mike Zerkel took care of you there? Zerkel did both, engineered both our records. He's a fantastic guy. He's a machine. A machine? - Yeah, he's a machine. In a good way. - In a great way, yes. In a great way, Mike. - A hit machine. I want to get out of the way. I think we have time for only one more. But quickly, you guys are on tour this summer. And where can people look for you? Here and around the globe. Well, in July we're heading out east for a couple weeks. But I think in town, the best show would be July 17. We're playing at High Noon Saloon with Harmony Grove and Adam North. It'd be a great show to come to. The Lucas Cates Band at the High Noon on the 17th of July, and in your living room right now, from "All the Pieces."
