He&#8217;s taken the DIY concept to the ultimate extreme, releasing eight albums solely on his own terms &#8211; and he&#8217;s been nothing but successful. \u00a0How does one measure success, though? Is it gold and platinum awards? Is it fame on a global basis? Is it riding a tour bus or being a household name? How about the fact that being a touring musician as your day job pays your bills, you get to travel the world, and share stages with some of the biggest idols of your life?<\/p>\n<p>On 4\/17\/12 Taglieri is set to release his ninth effort, &#8220;Lucky #9&#8221;. The six song modern rock EP explodes out of box with the raucous first track, &#8216;Losing Me&#8217;. Co-Produced by Lee J. Turner (Darius Rucker) who also handles all the keyboards on the release, this is the first release coming out of Taglieri&#8217;s new Dawg Pound Studios. Except for keyboards, Taglieri once again performed every instrument on the release. Writing both alone and with co-writers in Nashville &amp; NJ, the EP is full of modern rock tinged with modern country flavour. Written from the heart, the songs speak of everyday life. The songs show a new growth and maturity in both their writing and in Taglieri&#8217;s producing skills.<\/p>\n<p>So what is success?? Well, if nine releases in 12 years, a career as a full-time musician, touring the world, meeting and playing with your idols and singing for crowds of up to 80,000 can be considered successful, then John Taglieri has found success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>As this will be the first time a lot of our Australian based readers have been introduced to John Taglieri, let&#8217;s start with the basics first, how would you describe the style of music that you perform?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Firstly, HELLO! Thanks for doing this interview with me. I appreciate it greatly!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Modern Alternative Rock, with a tiny bit of a new country feel. Fun, upbeat, sing-a-long music that you can crank up and rock out to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You have just released your new album &#8216;Lucky #9&#8217; on which you have played the majority of instruments.\u00a0 Growing up as an aspiring musician, what came first for you, playing an instrument or a singer?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Playing an instrument. I started playing guitar at five years old&#8230;my parents decided I needed a hobby&#8230;lol. I played for a few years, and then moved over to drums, then bass, then back to guitar. Then when I hit my teens, I learned everything I could get my hands on. I didn\u2019t start singing seriously til my late teens. Then I took about 12 years of lessons and found my voice. I LOVE singing more then anything else I do though. Nothing speaks to me like a great vocal, so I try to really be the kind of singer that can move people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You have twenty seconds in an elevator to try and convince someone to listen to your new album Lucky #9&#8242;, without resorting to threats or violence, what do you tell them?<br \/>\n<\/strong>If Daughtry and Third Eye Blind had lunch with Edwin McCain, you&#8217;d have my new CD&#8230;so if you like that, then &#8220;Lucky #9&#8221; is for you! OH and by the way, the CD went to #2 on Amazon.com&#8217;s Adult Alternative Chart and the first single, &#8220;Make Me Believe&#8221; hit #1 on the singles chart&#8230;so check it out!!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is now your 9th release, so you should be a seasoned veteran by now in the recording studio haha!\u00a0 How different was the writing and recording process for this album, compared to your past releases?<br \/>\n<\/strong>It&#8217;s different in that I know how to be WAY more efficient these days. I used to take so much time trying to tweak things, where as now I know what I&#8217;m looking for before I even start, and really get the sounds I&#8217;m looking for when I record instead of thinking &#8220;oh, that\u2019s close enough, I can fix it later&#8221;. I think the more you record and learn your studio and your own tendencies, you learn how to get the sounds you want better and better. I think my production skills and ability to get bigger and better sounds has definitely increased and I think I\u2019ve found better ways to say the things I want to say on a CD. That being said, I&#8217;m still learning every day that I write and record. I built a brand new studio just before doing this CD, so I had to learn that room and my new gear and so much more. So it&#8217;s a constant learning curve no matter what.\u00a0 As a writer, as much as I&#8217;m comfortable with my writing, I know that I still have a long way to go and will never stop learning or trying to improve on my craft.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In terms of song writing, what do you consider to be the most important elements that feature in a John Taglieri song?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Vocals and Hook. I like to think that I can sing with the best of them, and I can write a great hook. I&#8217;m a fair musician in that I can play a lot of instruments, but I&#8217;ll never say that I&#8217;m a virtuoso on anything. But vocally, I definitely think I can step out and hang with anyone. That, and my ability to tell a good story has gotten much better over the years and I think I speak from the heart and can connect with my listeners better now then I ever have. I still have a lot of room for improvement, but from my first CD to now, I think the songs are stronger in every way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Over the course of your musical journey, what and\/or who, have you found inspires and influences your music the most, in both a lyrical and musical sense?<br \/>\n<\/strong>As for who, Rik Emmett from Triumph will always be my biggest influence. These days, Pat Monahan from Train blows me away lyrically. I wish I could rhyme the way he does. Daughtry, Cavo and Default continue to make my head spin with great modern rock. There are a LOT of artists that move me. There were so many great bands from the 90s that I loved like Third Eye Blind, Matchbox 20, Gin Blossoms, and so many more. And lets NEVER forget the 80s and all the awesome fun hair metal that gave us!! lol.<\/p>\n<p>As for the What, LIFE&#8230;the ups, downs and sideways of it all. That\u2019s what has always inspired me to write. Trying to tell my stories in a way that people can connect with and understand. I see life a LOT differently now than I did 12 years ago when I put out my first CD, and the never-ending excitement of it all just creatively turns me on. I&#8217;m a little kid when it comes to life. I&#8217;ll never grow up and I&#8217;ll always see the good and the exciting in life and I embrace it wholly. I&#8217;m definitely NOT one of those &#8220;too cool&#8221; people. I get excited&#8230;I celebrate little things even if it\u2019s silly. I have no problem playing he fool and being excited. I have a great life and every day it continues to help me create and stay excited about music and what I get to do in this life. I get to travel the world, meet a ton of people, see amazing places, do cool things&#8230;that in itself is inspiring.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/John-Taglieri-Album.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8785\" title=\"John Taglieri Album\" src=\"http:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/John-Taglieri-Album.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/John-Taglieri-Album.jpg 280w, https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/John-Taglieri-Album-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/a>What were some of the key influences that you feel contributed to what we hear on the new album &#8216;Lucky #9&#8217;?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Definitely Daughtry, Default, MB20, Third Eye Blind and others. \u00a0Also Keith Urban, Jason Aldean and a lot of the cool modern country coming out of Nashville right now. \u00a0Half the CD was written in Nashville, so it definitely shows in some of the feel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We&#8217;ve picked out 3 songs from the release &#8211; can you give us a bit of background to each song and any important facts you think we should know:<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Losing Me &#8211;<\/em> I wrote <em>Losing Me<\/em> with my old guitarist Brad Whitley It&#8217;s just a song about being a little pissed off in a relationship that\u2019s ending and letting that person know that you aren\u2019t gonna take their shit anymore&#8230;lol. We&#8217;ve all been there and all probably wanted to say it to someone at some point&#8230; &#8220;I wont take responsibility for the mess you made this time&#8230;you don\u2019t know it but you&#8217;re losing me&#8230;&#8221;. Almost like you want to smack them in the head and wake them up to reality&#8230;which isn\u2019t always easy! LOL.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dying Alive &#8211;<\/em> I wrote <em>Dying Alive<\/em> in Nashville with a good friend Brooke Van Horn. We were sitting in her living room just tossing ideas back and forth as to what we wanted to write about that day and I don\u2019t remember who came up with the title, but as soon as it was said we were like&#8230;THATS IT!!! And the title sort of dictated the song. It&#8217;s about losing someone you love so much and being without them feels like you&#8217;re Dying Alive&#8230;I loved the phrasing and the song was a very easy write once we had a direction. I think it&#8217;s the best song title on the CD&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>Make Me Believe &#8211;<\/em> I wrote <em>Make Me Believe<\/em> alone sitting on the back porch of my publisher\u2019s house in Nashville. I was just strumming and the intro popped out. I wrote it about my wife. IT said exactly what I wanted to say to her at that moment, but of course I was away from home. It&#8217;s upbeat, happy and its a song about falling in love and being in love. It also happened to go to #1 on Amazon.com for Best New Releases Singles in Adult Alternative! So that\u2019s kind of awesome in a lot of ways. I&#8217;ve never had a #1 before, so it was kind of cool to have that happen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You hail from the Hanson, Massachussets in the USA.\u00a0 For the benefit of those in galaxies far, far, away&#8230;what do you have to say about the rock scene in Hanson and your place within it?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Hanson is a little town about 45 minutes south of Boston, MA. It&#8217;s a great place to live. My life on the road is quite hectic as you can imagine, so coming home to a nice house in a quiet town is just what I need to relax and unwind. As for the Music scene there, really, Boston is the music scene. There are a few local clubs, but the real scene is up in Boston. My place in it is simple&#8230;we play there every few months and do our best to pack the venues. The band I&#8217;m currently in has a great Boston following, so it&#8217;s always a good time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you were a person in the crowd at one of your gigs, what five words would you walk away using to describe the performance you just witnessed?<br \/>\n<\/strong>1.) Fun<br \/>\n2.) Exciting<br \/>\n3.) Interactive<br \/>\n4.) Memorable<br \/>\n5.) ROCKIN&#8217;!!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>One of our favourite all time performers is Butch Walker, who we notice you have supported a little while back, as you have also played with many other awesome acts&#8230;\u00a0 In your evolution as a live performer, what have been some of the greatest learning experiences you have picked up from the opportunity of playing with others?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Just watching them all. Being around them and seeing how they handled themselves on and off stage&#8230;for better or worse. I learned from it all. I saw a lot of things that taught me what I wanted and didn\u2019t want out of this business. I saw some of the pitfalls that others went through and I was given some amazing advice from guys like Rik Emmett, Edwin McCain, &amp; Ken Block (Sister Hazel). They helped change my career and shape the performer and entertainer I am today. And I LOVE Butch Walker. Truly an amazing writer and performer who should have been FAR bigger then he is. I&#8217;ve thankfully had the opportunity to open for, share stages with or tour with just about everyone I&#8217;ve ever idolized in this business, so I&#8217;ve been very fortunate and have had a lot of cool experiences due to it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gigs, gigs, gigs\u2026do you have any shows coming up over the USA summer that you wanted to tell the people about, if so here\u2019s your chance!<br \/>\n<\/strong>We are going to be gigging allllll over the place this summer and into fall. I know we&#8217;ll be in Boston, Philly, NY, Chicago, Nashville, Baltimore and LOTS more! \u00a0Head to http:\/\/JohnTaglieri.com and you can see all the dates there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With 2012 already four months down, here&#8217;s a chance to gaze into your crystal ball. By the end of 2012, John Taglieri will have:<br \/>\n<\/strong>1. A &#8220;Very Best Of&#8221; package released in October<br \/>\n2. Toured more then ever before and in bigger venues<br \/>\n3.
