October 31st is this coming Friday, and in the spirit of the season we’ve bagged this round-up of Halloween-themed memories, favorites, and more from Tyler Farr and Jerrod Niemann!
Tyler Farr says that his childhood Halloween costumes usually leaned toward sports figures, but not always. (:22)
“I always wanted to be a sports person, so I never got too crazy. I was never a Power Ranger or a…I think I was a Ninja Turtle one year. I wanted to be Donatello — I think I was Donatello — and I had that big stick thing that he carries, but my mom ended up takin’ it away from me ’cause I kept attackin’ everybody, like, thinkin’ I was a real Ninja Turtle. Yeah, I got in…I was big into Halloween.”
As a kid, Tyler Farr really enjoyed Halloween, and he remembers going out as one of his football heroes. (:10)
“I dressed up. I was obsessed with Emmitt Smith, so I got a Dallas Cowboys football helmet, and I had the jersey, and I’m walkin’ around in shoulder pads, and I think I even put the cleats on one year for that.”
Tyler Farr used to encounter issues with timely candy consumption. (:10)
“I was big into Halloween! I mean, it was a great time to go out and trick-or-treat and get candy and then my parents never lettin’ me eat all of it and hidin’ and it becoming petrified within a year.”
Tyler Farr contemplates what he’d like to find in his trick-or-treat bag nowadays. (:24)
“Shotgun shells, maybe some, like, Under Armor cold-weather gear or some turkey calls, a good shaving kit maybe. You know, times have changed, so I don’t think candy and Tootsie Rolls are quite on the (ahem) artist diet. And I don’t think anybody’s gonna go to Whole Foods to get me some gluten-free anything to put in my bag. So, that would probably be what’s goin’ in my trick-or-treatin’ bag these days.”
Jerrod Niemann admits that his Halloween costumes aren’t usually top notch. (:15)
“I’ve never been one very good at preconceiving my Halloween costumes. I usually say, ‘I’m not bein’ anything!’ and then the day of, someone will talk me into goin’ to a Halloween party or somethin’, and I’ll be picking between a drunk Santa and a Jedi knight…warrior.”
