This week Bart talks with his wife Amy Allmand about the top country songwriters throughout each decade.
On this week’s episode, Bart talks with Gage Speas about getting his start in the music industry by learning to scream lyrics for a metal band. Gage explains how he got his nickname and future business name, Daisy May. Learning how to make hats in his bull riding days, Gage now has a successful career making custom hats. In his spare time he likes to bow hunt and play around on the guitar.
Meet Gage Speas: GAGE SPEAS KNOWS COUNTER-CULTURE.
HE KNOWS THE OPEN ROAD’S SONG TO THOSE WITH ROCK-AND-ROLL IN THEIR HEARTS.
A NEW MEXICO NATIVE AND LONG-TIME NASHVILLE RESIDENT, HE KNOWS THAT HISTORY HAS ITS PLACE IN THE PRESENT.
IN FORMING DAISY MAY HAT CO. , GAGE HAS COMMITTED HIMSELF TO HIS CRAFT, KEEPING AN EYE ON THE FUTURE WHILE PAYING RESPECT TO TRADITION.
WHY?
BECAUSE GAGE SPEAS KNOWS COUNTER-CULTURE IS BECOMING POP-CULTURE.
THAT’S WHY DAISY MAY IS HIS PIPE-BOMB THROUGH THE WINDOW OF FAST-FASHION.
DAISY MAY ISN’T AN ACCESSORY — IT’S A THOUGHTFUL REPRESENTATION OF WHOSOEVER BEARS THE WEIGHT OF ITS CROWN.
IT’S HAND-CRAFTED, 100% CUSTOM, AND MADE WITH HIGH-QUALITY BEAVER FELT TO GUARANTEE THAT YOUR HAT ISN’T MADE FOR THE SEASON: IT’S MADE FOR THE GENERATIONS.
EMBRACE THE FEVER. LIVE THE DREAM.
What Bart has to say: I read an interview about him in the magazine Hook & Barrel and thought he was an interesting guy and we had a lot of common friends. Turns out he’s interesting, a real go-getter and hilarous.
