- Isabella DeHerdt: How you doing?
[audience applauding and cheering]
You having a good Mile so far?
- Audience: Yeah!
It's our first time.
I'm Isabella.
This is Isaac. - Hi.
- And we are High Tea.
[audience applauding]
This is a song about the devil.
But it's like if the devil was a little,
had a little bit of a crush on you.
And maybe he's gonna be a little flirty when he steals your soul.
But you cannot change him.
You cannot fix him.
You can...tune.

["Whole Lotta Lovin'" by High Tea]
[upbeat acoustic guitar music]
? I got a black cat hidden in my blackjack hand ?
? And I've been waiting for you at the crossroads, dear ?
? I got a slice of heaven and a little piece of hell ?
? And I've been waiting for you at the wishing well ?
? I'll trade you money and fame ?
? Or just a leg up in the game
? Maybe something pretty to put to waste ?
? Maybe something more kind, maybe some of my time ?
? Maybe something that both of us like ?
? There's something in the way you look at me and say ?
? I seem just like the devil falling from grace ?
? I got a whole lotta lovin'
? I could use it on you
? Got a whole lotta loving and some heartbreaking, too ?
? Whole lotta loving, I could use it on you ?
? Got a whole lotta loving, if you want me ?
? Want me, want me want me, want me to ?
? Ooh ohh, ooh ooh
? I got a black spot painted on my greased palm ?
? Sign it on the dotted line ?
? If you trust me, dear
? You smell different than those other kinds of fools ?
? That make their way down this dark road ?
? To face their fear
? You got a glint in your eye
? The kind that I've always liked ?
? And something 'bout that smile just ain't sane ?
? Well, it's a lonely trade, tying eight strings in a braid ?
? But maybe there's something here to gain ?
? There's magic in the way you look at me and say ?
? I seem just like an angel if I had taste ?
? I got a whole lotta lovin'
? I could use it on you
? Got a whole lotta lovin'
? And there's heartbreaking, too ?
? Whole lotta lovin'
? I could use it on you
? Got a whole lotta lovin' if you want me ?
? Want me, want me, want me, want me to ?
? Hey, oh
? Hey, hey
? Won't you hold me tight?
? Sell your soul tonight
? I promise just to take a small bite ?
? I got a whole lotta lovin'
? Whole lotta lovin'
? Got a whole lotta lovin', whoo ?
? Got a whole lotta lovin'
? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
? A whole lotta lovin'
? I could use it on you
? Got a whole lotta lovin'
? And some heartbreaking, too
? Whole lotta lovin'
? I could use it on you
? Got a whole lotta lovin'
? Yeah, yeah, yeah
? If you want me, want me, want me, want me ?
? Want me to
Thank you so much, we're High Tea.
- Jamie: High Tea, y'all!
[audience applauding and cheering]
- Isaac: Thank you.
- All right, Appleton,
this one's my last one for the evening.
And, gosh, it's been so great to be back at Mile.
This town is like a home away from home.
You guys are like family.
I've been, this is my ninth Mile, which is crazy.
[audience applauding and cheering]
It's just been an amazing journey.
And I think, you know, a couple--
Last year, I wrote a song about it,
and so now they're stuck.
You gotta, I gotta keep coming back now.
Sorry. [all laughing]
Well, I'm gonna play that song here to close it out.
["Famous (in Appleton)" by Jamie Kent]
[upbeat acoustic guitar music]
? Well, some days it feels like I'm swimming upstream ?
? But I keep on truckin', chasin' the dream ?
? With too little money and too little sleep ?
? Some days still feel like the beginning ?
? But some days, though, it feels like I'm winning ?
? 'Cause my mom says I'm special ?
? My wife plays along
? Friends come for the beer and put up with the songs ?
? But there's still a few cities where the crowd sings along ?
? I'm no Bruce, but I'm still having fun ?
? And I'm famous in Appleton
[audience applauding and cheering]
? Where the people, they listen, then sing the refrain ?
? Where they buy all the merch
? Chants your bass player's name ?
? Where the cheese curds, Lord almighty, they reign ?
? Is this heaven I've stumbled upon? ?
? Nah, you guessed it, it's Appleton ?
Come on, y'all, let's go!
? 'Cause my mom says I'm special ?

Here we go!
You know what to do!

[audience applauding and cheering]
I love you, Appleton.
[audience applauding and cheering]
- Nick: That is such an epic song.
[all laughing]
- Dani: Well, heck, that should've been the closer.
[all laughing]
- Yeah, what do you follow after that?
Thanks, Jamie.
- We'll have a clapping section in this song.
- Jamie: You guys got another murder ballad up your sleeve?
- Oh, we got many, but we're gonna save those
for the rest of the band.
So we'll go maybe, like, love. - Jamie: Love?
- You want that pick? - Yes.
- Sure. - Thank you.
- All right, so...
- We've done a couple dark songs.
I think it's time to end on a happy note.
What do you think? - Nick: Hell yeah.
[audience applauding and cheering]
- If you recognize Nick's accent,
it's not Australian. - Thank you.
- It's New Zealander, it's Kiwi.
It's not actually an insult to call them a Kiwi.
That's what they call themselves, don't worry.
- We call kiwi fruit kiwi fruit.
That's just to distinguish the difference there.
- So this is a song off our first EP.
It's a love song to New Zealand, where Nick is from,
and Colorado, where I'm from.
- More importantly, it was actually our wedding song.
So if you're here with a loved one,
you know, hold them close and, uh...
- So gross. - Aw, you wrote it.
[all laughing]
["How the Mountain" by South for Winter]
[gentle mandolin and acoustic guitar music]
- ? Lost my way in the blue of the skies ?
? Married the road, and she was kind ?
? Had no roots, no ties to bind ?
? Until you slowed these feet of mine ?
- ? I saw you there on a path less walked ?
? But you seemed quite far from lost ?
? You danced me around to the riversong ?
? And I was yours from that time on ?
? And how the mountain
? Loves the moon
? How the asters
? Love to bloom
? How the bellbird
? Loves to sing
? I love you more than all those things ?
[audience laughing]
? No more the skies tempt and persuade ?
? They leave rain for these roots I lay ?
? Wild rose, grow where you may ?
? You'll find me there each dawn you wake ?
? For how the mountain
? Loves the moon
? How the asters
? Love to bloom
? How the bellbird
? Loves to sing
? I love you more than all those things ?
? I love you more than all those ?
- You guys feel like doing a little clapping?
What do you reckon?
We can get that going.
Appleton, you can get louder than that.
One, two, three, four!
[lively mandolin and acoustic guitar music]
Whoo!
? Ahh, ahh ahh
? Ohh, ohh ohh
? I love you more, oh
? Than all those things
? I love you more than all those ?
- Give yourselves a round of applause!
- Thank you, Appleton! - We love you, Appleton!
- Thank you, Jamie Kent and High Tea!
Thank you for having us.
- Thank you, Appleton, we love you!
