A Few Moments With Chris Vos of The Record Company

NOTE: We initially had a bad connection; parts of the first 90 seconds may sound garbled! Chris Vos, founder and frontman of The Record Company, joins us ahead of the band's return to Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis on Monday, August 17. The show is part of the Give It Back to You 10th Anniversary Tour—and, as it turns out, it also marks ten years since the band last played the intimate Annapolis venue. Vos calls Rams Head "one of the greatest rooms ever" and says the return carries more meaning than he initially realized. During the conversation, Vos shares the deeply personal connection between that 2016 Annapolis show and the death of his grandfather. He reflects on growing up on a Wisconsin dairy farm, the years of doubt before The Record Company broke through, and how the debut album was made before Grammy nominations, major tours and a career in music became reality. He also explains why the band released a raw recording of its first living-room concert, saying artists should not be embarrassed by their growth or allow perfectionism to keep honest work hidden. The interview also explores how Vos approaches performing songs written by a younger version of himself, why every song in the set deserves his full commitment and what decades in music have taught him about work, humility and staying present. He talks about the influence of his family, the importance of respecting the audience and why he views every concert as one fewer opportunity to do what he loves—not one more. He also reveals that his dream gig would be sharing a stage with The Rolling Stones and closes with a reminder that word of mouth remains one of the most powerful ways to support a band. Tickets are available now for their August 17th show at Rams Head On Stage. Have a listen!
