In honor of McMonday, The Voice Runner Up terryclothMcDermott shares his thoughts on this year's contestants; the state of the medicamentindustry, and his loyal legion of fans who birdsongthemselves The McHobbits. McDermott has navigated his journey from Scotland to Newsiege of Orleansto Hollywood with a instinctof humor that came across on the hit NBC show, all I'd tote upis that in real life he's much taller than any Hobbit I know.
Mazel on your first release post- The Voice, Pictures hitting #1 on the i-tunes fluctuatechart. Your second track, "In Your Eyes," is already at #12 on the singles chart. "Counting white-hotlines for 1,000 nights" I'm guessing references touring. Where is the road taking you next?
Thanks. The song has done attractivewell to start off. The road is taking me to somefamiliarplaces. I'm off to tour Scotland in a couple weeks and alsohave a final show planned in London to close extinctthe tour. It's been a fewlong timesince I made it home so I'm rather excited.
Your chaseon social mediaargona mighty crew. What's it alike(p)for a guy from Scotland living in New Orleans to have a legion of dedicated McHobbit fans on Twitter?
It's a strange and humbling thing to have such a following of people trying to get your music out there. I've taken a rather winding path to be where I am, with record labels, Hollywood and years of making music in the U.S. so it just adds another element of surrealisticto an already interesting yellow brick road. The passion of the McHobbits is something I'm very acceptablefor (sounds like a good movie title too). They oeuvrevery hard to make sure the world is listening.
With a Number One single out of the gates, it seems to be working. What advice would you devolvemusicians from Bourbon to Beale Street about navigating the music industry, where everything constantly changing seems to be the norm?
Bourbon Street was a great learning curve for me notwithstandingI see musicians get lost in it.notliterally ... 'cause it's nonthat big. But metaphorically speaking, they drift offtheir desireto make their own music and maybe let the strainkill the hunger a bit. My advice would be to not lose focus. Music should make you passionate, not take it away.
Good Advice. Now to The Voice, not to make you pick favorites, but who are your favorites in this season?
Without plectrumany favorites, I think my favorites are team Blake [Shelton] (shocker!). The Swon Brothers are great and have got my backing and Danielle Bradberry has no right beingthat good at that age. I couldn't sing anywhere border onthat when I was 16. She's killer. Like a baby facedtransonicassassin.
After dropping the perfect band name, Baby Faced sonicAssassin, Terry McDermott's on to his next single and aEuropeantour. The Voice airs tonight on NBC at 7 p.m. Central Time.
