Brenden MacIntosh is scheduled to play at The Raven on April 27.

It might sound cheesy, but one of the songs on Brenden MacIntoshSA国际影视传媒檚 latest album SA国际影视传媒楶izza TimeSA国际影视传媒 was actually meant for his wife at their wedding.

SA国际影视传媒淚t was really just for her, and then everyone heard it and the band was like, SA国际影视传媒渨hy donSA国际影视传媒檛 we bring this to the band?SA国际影视传媒橲A国际影视传媒

The song, SA国际影视传媒楯essica,SA国际影视传媒 is named after MacIntoshSA国际影视传媒檚 wife. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 one of nine in his latest album that came out April 13, and thereSA国际影视传媒檚 a chance he just might play it at the Raven on April 27.

So far, the feedbackSA国际影视传媒檚 been pretty sweet.

SA国际影视传媒淎fter all the work we put into it, itSA国际影视传媒檚 great to see people just listening to it and tell me how much they like it,SA国际影视传媒 said MacIntosh. SA国际影视传媒淲e tried out some music videos this time around and one of themSA国际影视传媒檚 getting some pretty good attention so thatSA国际影视传媒檚 really nice.SA国际影视传媒

The video in question is for the song SA国际影视传媒楯essica.SA国际影视传媒 With close to 1,000 views on YouTube, itSA国际影视传媒檚 become MacIntoshSA国际影视传媒檚 most popular video on his channel.

The success is nice but itSA国际影视传媒檚 not exactly the artist was banking on.

SA国际影视传媒淵ou just write art that you would like to hear and then you just kind of hope that people would agree with you, I guess,SA国际影视传媒 he laughed. SA国际影视传媒淏ut playing live, weSA国际影视传媒檝e had good reception to certain songs, and that helped me figure which songs we need to record.SA国际影视传媒

Playing live is something MacIntosh loves. He said itSA国际影视传媒檚 like a celebration that comes from time spent in the studio recording.

SA国际影视传媒淚 remember thereSA国际影视传媒檚 one drum fill that I was stuck on for at least half an hour just doing over and over and over,SA国际影视传媒 he said. SA国际影视传媒淎nd I just threw my drum sticks.SA国际影视传媒

That bit of frustration was actually for another song MacIntosh has yet to release.

SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檒l keep that secret,SA国际影视传媒 he chuckled.

When it comes to writing songs, its important to follow oneSA国际影视传媒檚 intuition, according to MacIntosh. There needs to be a middle-ground between not overdoing it but also to be consistently playing.

SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 this give and take. YouSA国际影视传媒檝e got to try to write, but wait until you get that golden nugget.SA国际影视传媒

Despite the release of a new album, MacIntoshSA国际影视传媒檚 work seems far from over. HeSA国际影视传媒檚 planning a mini-tour in Alberta and has some shows he and his band canSA国际影视传媒檛 announce yet.

It also sounds like thereSA国际影视传媒檚 another album on the way.

SA国际影视传媒淐offee Break and Pizza Time are part of a trilogy,SA国际影视传媒 MacIntosh said of his past two albums. SA国际影视传媒淚 want to start getting that final part of it.SA国际影视传媒

And he has a larger goal in mind too.

SA国际影视传媒淢y dream would be to play at a festival where the crowd is so far you canSA国际影视传媒檛 even see the end,SA国际影视传媒 he said. SA国际影视传媒淭hatSA国际影视传媒檚 my dream.SA国际影视传媒
