Man on the Radio Archives - The Bluegrass Situation

Artist: Wood Belly
Hometown: Denver, Colorado
Song: “Gone Are the Days”
Album: Man on the Radio

In Their Words: “‘Gone Are the Days’ is a project we’ve been working on, well, for a lifetime. The video features some of Wood Belly’s childhood home movies interlaced with moments from the last few years playing music across the country. We wanted to pay homage to our roots and express our undying gratitude to the people that helped us get to where we are and will go. There’s a clip towards the end of a couple of our moms hugging during our set in Telluride, Colorado, which pretty much sums up the whole idea. Much love to everyone who made us who we are.” — Chris Weist, Wood Belly

In Their Words: “This is a tune about the basic need for acceptance. We’ve all had a moment questioning ourselves, ‘Is it me? Or is it you?’ I relate with these struggles, which can be taxing on a person’s mind. It’s sometimes challenging to arrive at acceptance before we process with our own coping mechanism. No matter how we get there, we usually come to realize we always had the answer within — but not before a little self-torment.” — Craig Patterson, Wood Belly

“James Armington really made this vision come to life. We all knew and loved James from the bluegrass community and he was a fellow Telluride band competition winner. When it came time to cast our hero, I remembered standing on the main stage at Telluride watching the tarp-run next to James decked out in suit, cape and mustache. We had no idea just how perfect he would be for the role. James had the cast and crew in stitches scene after scene and we can’t thank him enough for the wonderful performance and memories.” — Chris Weist, Wood Belly
