[00:00:41] Speaker B: I'm wonderful. How are you?
[00:00:42] Speaker A: Good. You were just saying you've been out of town a bunch.
[00:00:45] Speaker B: Gone. So gone. And I love being here. So.
[00:00:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Where. Where have you been lately? I saw you were. You were doing Stagecoach. Right?
[00:00:52] Speaker B: Stagecoach. I just got back from Country Thunder in Florida.
[00:00:56] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:00:56] Speaker B: Did Tortuga did a bunch of. Bunch of festivals. It's festival season.
[00:01:01] Speaker A: Yeah, it is festival season. I'm out and about running around doing festival stuff too on like the media and hosting side. So. Festivals are a lot of fun though because I mean, doing your own shows are cool because of course you're playing your own crowd, but you get to meet so many people and even other artists.
[00:01:15] Speaker B: Totally.
[00:01:16] Speaker A: You know, and you're someone that I've seen has connected well with other folks on the bill backstage. Like the Castello is going.

[00:01:28] Speaker B: Right.
[00:01:29] Speaker A: Of you and. And the homies.
[00:01:30] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:01:31] Speaker A: On site at the festival.
[00:01:32] Speaker B: Yeah. The Castles are some of my best. I was with them literally this morning for this.
[00:01:38] Speaker A: Oh yeah.
[00:01:38] Speaker B: I love them.
[00:01:39] Speaker A: That's awesome. We love them too. They're. They're great. One of our. One of our favorite acts in town. So you moved here to go to law school?
[00:01:46] Speaker B: I did, yeah.
[00:01:47] Speaker A: And now you're touring the country playing your songs.
[00:01:50] Speaker B: I am. We're on a hiatus in law school.
[00:01:53] Speaker A: Yep. Talk about that pivot of going from you come here to study law at Belmont, which is a great school.
[00:02:00] Speaker B: It was awesome. I literally loved Belmont. I was there for a semester at the law program and I had such a good time. I loved it. I was learning so much. It was really hard. I got through my first finals and like, I did fine and you know, I was really excited to keep going. But then the music thing started working out really well and we were starting to look at touring and I'm like, wait, I literally can't. Can't. Yeah, you have to like be at law school. Like, it's not like something that you can like. I'll remote like I'll zoom in. Like, you can't do that at law school.
[00:02:33] Speaker A: It's not like.
[00:02:34] Speaker B: It's not how that works.
[00:02:34] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, I was a communications major and I used to convince my professors that if I was eventually going to work here in country music, that it's like I'm gaining something by going to these shows. So I'd get them to let me skip class to go to.
[00:02:48] Speaker B: And I didn't even want to be a music lawyer. I wanted to be a corporate lawyer. So there was really.
[00:02:51] Speaker A: Oh, you wanted to deal with like.
[00:02:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:02:53] Speaker A: High level.
[00:02:54] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. That was my plan. I was not thinking entertainment law at all.
So.
Yeah. It's just. I loved it, though. But I had to pick. I couldn't have stayed. It would have. I was already kind of going crazy.
[00:03:06] Speaker A: Yeah. You got to be all in. And when something's on your heart where you're like, I want to do this thing, and people are. You're starting to get the traction that you were getting at that time, it seems like it was a no brainer.
[00:03:15] Speaker B: Yeah. It was an easy decision.
[00:03:16] Speaker A: That's awesome. So you're originally from Texas but grew up in Kentucky.
[00:03:21] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:03:21] Speaker A: And you got a Colonel Sanders connection. Right?
[00:03:23] Speaker B: I saw in an interview, my grandpa baptized Colonel Sanders and was like his pastor.
[00:03:28] Speaker A: That is Kentucky royalty. That's a huge deal. That's wild. Yeah. You don't hear. You don't hear stories like that ever.
[00:03:36] Speaker B: Nope. So I'm. I'm Kentucky. I'm very. Kentucky.
[00:03:39] Speaker A: Yeah. Where in Kentucky are you from?
[00:03:40] Speaker B: Louisville.
[00:03:41] Speaker A: From Louisville.
[00:03:42] Speaker B: Y.
[00:03:42] Speaker A: So growing up, being from New York, I would say Louisville. I would always say Louisville. And I. I learned as soon as I moved down Louis. Louisville, Louisville and. Which isn't that far from here.
[00:03:53] Speaker B: No, it's like a couple hours. I go home all the time.
Derby just happened. I didn't go for derby. I'm so sad.
[00:03:59] Speaker A: Oh, is that so. I'd imagine that's a huge deal.
[00:04:03] Speaker B: It's awesome. Derby is so fun.
[00:04:06] Speaker A: Did you go to the Nashville version of it? The steeplechase?
[00:04:09] Speaker B: I was out of town. I was playing a show, but I don't think I can do it. I'm good. I'm like, so used to derby. I feel like I'm going to be
[00:04:17] Speaker A: like, no, that's like going. That's like going to Yankee Stadium and then settling for minor league baseball. Like, it's just not the same.
[00:04:23] Speaker B: It's just not the same. I'm sure it'd be fun.
[00:04:25] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:04:26] Speaker B: But I love the derby.
[00:04:27] Speaker A: Yeah, it Seems like just. It's a huge cultural event. Right.
[00:04:31] Speaker B: I just go to find Jack Harlo. That's my only.
[00:04:33] Speaker A: That's your goal is to find Jack Harlo.
[00:04:35] Speaker B: Jack Harlo.
[00:04:35] Speaker A: What would you say to him? What would your. Your line be?
[00:04:38] Speaker B: I think we just bond. We.
[00:04:40] Speaker A: We would get along, just bond. Just the Kentucky. The Kentucky and you both would just draw you together.
[00:04:45] Speaker B: It would be natural. I don't need a line.
[00:04:47] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Well, I love the music you've been putting out. Like we've been. We've been fans of you for a while. We were lucky enough to have you back in our duck blind days. You had popped up. I think it was a night I wasn't even there. I forget who was filling in to host for us that night, but I remember seeing a video and everybody's singing along. I got a new one. And that was. I want to say that was last summer. Yep, it was last summer. Was right around this time last year. And to see what's been going on in your world since. Since then. Just talk about how crazy life has been to where you're getting to do all this crazy shit.
[00:05:20] Speaker B: I know my whole life has changed. I never in a million years would think that this would be my full time job. Like I always say, my whole life I paid to do music. Like I paid for guitar lessons. I paid, you know, I volunteered at church to sing at church. I paid for voice lessons and I went to school for writing and I paid them a whole lot of money like to get my degree in writing. And. And so the fact that like now I get to do this as like my job and as my career, it is the. I would pay to do it. I would literally, I would work a full time job and then I'll take that money to pay to do this on the side. So the fact that I get to do this as my job is literally a dream.
[00:06:03] Speaker A: Yeah. And it's what I love about your music too is the, the wittiness and the writing. And I'm sure you get that a lot. And it's got like, it's. It's so different from anything else in the scene, you know, like it really stands out. Like, you know, when a song is a Elizabeth Nichols song.
[00:06:18] Speaker B: Thank you.
[00:06:18] Speaker A: Like, it has such a distinct thing to it and you do such a great job of teasing songs. Like I'm sure people have asked you, when is Paul Revere coming?
[00:06:27] Speaker B: It is coming. It's actually this weekend. May 22nd.
Yeah.
[00:06:32] Speaker A: So it's coming.
[00:06:33] Speaker B: It's coming. It's. It's. It's coming up.
[00:06:35] Speaker A: So take me through the writing process of how you come up with these. With these lines and these hooks and balancing, like, the talking or the whistling with the singing.
[00:06:44] Speaker B: I just. I have a lot of ideas. I always walk into a session and I, like, sit down and I'm like, okay, I have, like, literally 100 ideas. So I'm just gonna say like, 20, and then we can just. Because I like them all. I'm like, I'll write anything. I'm like, but I want y'. All, like, if, like, whoever I'm writing with, whichever group I'm of, like, my people that are like, kind of my crew, we all. It's like, it depends on the energy in the room that day and, like, where everyone's at. And. And I write a lot by myself as well.
So much, so often.
So I think that writing on my own just helps me.
[00:07:21] Speaker A: Are you a. Are you a pen to paper girl or you type Notes app. Notes app. That's how I.
[00:07:25] Speaker B: Every single one of my.
[00:07:26] Speaker A: I live and die by my notes app. Because we book all these events in the lineups for like, months from now are all in notes app. Where it's like, if that got deleted.
[00:07:33] Speaker B: No, I don't even know what would happen if my notes app got deleted.
[00:07:36] Speaker A: Deleted. Yeah. If my notes app got hacked, I'd be so screwed.
[00:07:39] Speaker B: I'd be scared. If it got hacked. That, like, if it got deleted. Be one thing. If it got hacked, I'd be really scared.
Like, nobody needs to see because you
[00:07:46] Speaker A: use it as, like a diary type of thing.
[00:07:47] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. Yeah, it's. It's scary in there. It's really dark. It's scary.
[00:07:52] Speaker A: That's wild. Who are some of the folks? You talk about your crew, and it seems like you've got a strong base of friends that are also happen to be your peers. So talk about some of those folks that have helped you with co writing vibing here in town.
[00:08:05] Speaker B: So I think that, like, my songwriting crew, I'm really close with Steve Rush and Laura Vel. They're amazing.
[00:08:12] Speaker A: Laura's a monster writer.
[00:08:13] Speaker B: Laura is awesome. Blue Strips is the best song ever. Yeah, I've gone on record saying that so many times. The day I met Laura, I dropped my knees and I was like, thank you so much for writing Blue Strips.
I love that song.
I love Mike Robinson. He is a literal force to be reckoned with. He is amazing.
Shane McNally.
[00:08:36] Speaker A: Yeah, Shane's great.
[00:08:37] Speaker B: I was just with him in Santa Barbara.
I text Shane an absurd amount, like, about my day. Like.
[00:08:44] Speaker A: Like, you just check in with him on, like.
[00:08:46] Speaker B: No, no, it's not check. It's not check in. It's like, this is what happened to me. This is why I'm irritated. This is what's going on. And he's so supportive, and I think he thinks I'm so funny. And he's also, like, you know, the biggest writer in the world. Like, body, like a freaking back row.
[00:09:00] Speaker A: Yeah. He's like, on the Mount Rushmore of country.
[00:09:02] Speaker B: On the Mount Rushmore. And he cares that my boyfriend cheated on me.
[00:09:07] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, he wants to hear all the tea.
[00:09:09] Speaker B: He cares. He wants to hear all about it. That's awesome. I love Shane so much.
Those are a few people that I love working with in town. And then I have so many, like, cool artist friends who have, like, I've gotten to know just through doing, you know. Gabriella Rose is, like, one of my
[00:09:24] Speaker A: favorite people in the world.
[00:09:25] Speaker B: Stella Lefty.
[00:09:26] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, I've seen that you and her this morning. Yeah. I see that you and her have been commenting on each other's posts and everything, which is awesome.
[00:09:33] Speaker B: She's so good.
Obviously, the Castellos, they're my. If our group chat. If I always say, if I ever got sued and they, like, subpoenaed our group chat, I would settle because I don't want that going to court. Like, I'm like, I will settle.
[00:09:51] Speaker A: That's wild. That's awesome. And I feel like there's this era where females can be stronger in what you guys are writing about and singing about than ever before. And there's this whole gang of you guys that are in your 20s that are going through life together, putting out music that the world is connecting with.
[00:10:09] Speaker B: Right. It's really awesome because it's like, not only are these, like, my peers, but they're my friends. I text them whenever things happen. I was texting Stella this morning. I was complaining, and she's angry at somebody for me. And it's like, this is just an awesome feeling.
[00:10:24] Speaker A: Yeah. Because it used to be that you would hear the industry was very cutthroat and the girl, especially on the girls, experience that. Yeah, I feel like that went away a long time ago at all.
[00:10:34] Speaker B: Everybody's like, wants to be friends.
[00:10:35] Speaker A: Yeah. It's. You get to. I explain it to people all the time. Like, it's really. You're getting to do cool with your friends. You're getting to create stuff with your homies and support Each other. And when. When Stella or the Castellos or Gabriella has a big win. That's a. That feels like a win for you too.
[00:10:52] Speaker B: Gabby just put out a song with Cameron Whitcomb.
[00:10:54] Speaker A: Yeah. It's so good.
[00:10:55] Speaker B: Banger.
[00:10:56] Speaker A: So good.
[00:10:56] Speaker B: She wrote it alone. You know, she wrote that by herself.
[00:10:58] Speaker A: That was 100%. Wow.
[00:10:59] Speaker B: She's so good. I checked the credits. I text her, like, I hate you.
I'm mad at you.
[00:11:05] Speaker A: How'd you first get. How'd you first get connected with. With her? Because is she in Nashville or. She.
[00:11:09] Speaker B: She is.
Where did we meet? I think social media, Cuz whenever I got a new one started kind of going. It was the exact same time as Double Wide started going.
[00:11:19] Speaker A: Oh, so y' all were kind of
[00:11:21] Speaker B: the exact same time. And I think we reached out to each other and was just like, hey, I love your stuff. And I've seen her stuff way before that.
[00:11:27] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:11:28] Speaker B: So I was already a fan.
And then I think we met at CMA Fest last year for the first time in person.
[00:11:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:11:34] Speaker B: There's so hung out.
[00:11:35] Speaker A: There's so many connections that you make when you're in, like, where you cross paths with people and then you end up at Skinny Dennis with them on a Tuesday night.
[00:11:42] Speaker B: Exactly.
[00:11:42] Speaker A: At Red Door at Losers or Odyssey or wherever.
Was Casey Musgraves a big inspiration for you? Because I was gonna say, I hear a lot. I hear a lot of that, like, of the Casey style where she was doing that so long ago and was, like, a pioneer for it.
[00:11:55] Speaker B: Well, Casey, like, changed things in country music. Like, I think every woman in country music is inspired by Casey Mas Race, especially this coming up class. Like, she is amazing. I am a huge fan. Huge fan of Casey.
[00:12:08] Speaker A: Yeah. Because I mean, like, you, like, you hear a song like Blowing Smoke.
[00:12:11] Speaker B: Yeah. Like Merry go round. It's like, I don't even think that. Like, that's crazy.
[00:12:14] Speaker A: Yeah. And it was just so ahead of its time because it's inspired what you're doing. It's inspired. You hear it in Ella lyrics. You hear it in. In Megan lyrics too. Like, it's. It's so cool. Like, the time that you're coming up right now.
[00:12:27] Speaker B: Right.
[00:12:27] Speaker A: You know, it's a badass time to come up. So talk to me about the releasing process of Tough Love, of the. Of you getting the EP out there.
[00:12:34] Speaker B: Totally. That was a really fun process because there were songs on that EP that I had written alone in my bedroom in Oklahoma before I knew what a session was like. I didn't know that people wrote songs together. I didn't know anything. I also wasn't planning on releasing them. I was just writing songs to write songs, and that's, like, such a pure cool state to be in.
Or I was writing songs to, like, piss off a guy that I knew because I knew you'd see them when I posted them. So it's like. Which I still do that all the time. That's still my actual main focus in music. But it was cool because I got to put songs like that on that EP and kind of be like, okay, these are kind of what. These are what got me here. And these are what. You know, my first video to ever go viral was Sweet Cigarette. And it's like, I just put that out recently. So it's really cool that these songs can survive the test of time and still have a place, even though I'm writing maybe stuff that is not the exact same now.
[00:13:36] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:36] Speaker B: But it's cool that I got to do that project.
[00:13:38] Speaker A: Yeah. Where in Oklahoma were you?
[00:13:40] Speaker B: Tulsa. I went to college in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
[00:13:42] Speaker A: Okay, so you spent time out until. So you were. You did undergrad out there?
[00:13:45] Speaker B: Undergrad. And then I did my masters there, too.
[00:13:48] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah.
[00:13:49] Speaker B: So I got my MBA in Tulsa.
[00:13:51] Speaker A: Do you ever make the drive out to Stillwater?
[00:13:53] Speaker B: Yeah, of course.
[00:13:54] Speaker A: I spent a lot of time at the Tumbleweed.
[00:13:56] Speaker B: Okay. So I've been to the Tumbleweed. I've been. I've been. I've had. I have songs inspired by all of those places.
[00:14:03] Speaker A: Yeah. Because.
And Oklahoma's got such a cool music scene, too. Did that inspire you at all, being out there?
[00:14:09] Speaker B: Really, really insp me to start music?
[00:14:11] Speaker A: Zach Bryan, really?
[00:14:13] Speaker B: I, like, have never. I haven't met Zach.
I want to, because I want to thank him genuinely. I would.
I read something about him and. Well, first of all, I was dating this guy that loved Zach Brian.
[00:14:25] Speaker A: He loved Zack Brian, bro.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: He loved Zach Brian so much, and he would piss me off. And I was like, you like country music? I'll give you some country music. So I literally started writing my first songs to, like, piss off this guy who like Zach Brian. So thank you, Zach Brian. But.
But also I read something because I was looking into Zach Brian because he loves Zach Brian so much that I'm like, okay, what's. Why do you. What's. What's going on here? And he would write all of his lyrics first, and he would turn them into songs and that I'd never. I'd written poetry for a long time, and I'd written words For a long time, and. And I never heard of people doing it like that.
[00:15:05] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:15:05] Speaker B: And that's what I started doing, and that's still what I do to this day. So I want to meet. I want to shake Zach Ryan's hand and say, thank you, sir.
[00:15:14] Speaker A: What song was it that drew you into him? Or what was that guy's, like, favorite songs? Was it going back to, like.
[00:15:21] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I like, starved a lot. That's one of my favorites. But also, if she wants a cowboy. Yeah, but that's a freaking banger.
I. I love Zach Brian.
[00:15:31] Speaker A: Have you seen his live show?
[00:15:32] Speaker B: Oh, I've, like, the only concerts I think I've. I've ever paid for with my money in my life is Zach Bryan concerts.
Like, I have gone to so many Zach Bryan concerts. Usually, like, I'm like, oh, invite her. Like, my dad will get me tickets. Or, like. But, like, I. I made sure to go to Zach Bryan concerts. I think it was also because I was trying to run into my ex, but.
[00:15:53] Speaker A: Oh, there was a motive.
[00:15:54] Speaker B: There's always a motive. But I do love Zack Zach, Brad.
[00:15:58] Speaker A: Yeah, I. I'll be honest. At first, I remember back before COVID Hearing, heading south and, like, seeing at the time I was working with the Muscadine Bloodline guys, I was selling their hats and T shirts in a sprinter van, so he was one of the artists. We were playing in the van, and we were all talking about it and stuff, and I didn't quite get it. Get it until I saw him live and then I saw the live show, and I was like, oh, I get it. There's not only girls on guys shoulders. There are bros on.
[00:16:23] Speaker B: Yeah, there's energy. It's so much energy.
[00:16:25] Speaker A: Yeah. It's like the whole crowd's just. There's this buzz to it.
[00:16:28] Speaker B: Totally.
[00:16:28] Speaker A: You know?
[00:16:29] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:16:29] Speaker A: And that's what blew me away. What other concerts have you. Have you gone to, aside from Zach Brown?
[00:16:34] Speaker B: So many recently. I was just at Katy Perry here in Nashville.
[00:16:38] Speaker A: Oh, how was that?
[00:16:39] Speaker B: It was awesome.
[00:16:40] Speaker A: She still got it.
[00:16:41] Speaker B: She has bangers.
[00:16:42] Speaker A: Yeah, I know.
[00:16:43] Speaker B: Bangers.
[00:16:44] Speaker A: She has, yeah.
[00:16:45] Speaker B: Like, so many bangers. I was just at a concert.
Oh, I watched Zach play. I stayed Zach Top. I stayed an extra day in Florida to watch Zach Top play because I literally. His band, they're. They're awesome. They're such good guys. They're so good. They're so tight. That was an awesome show. I just watched Gavin Adcock play. I. I mean, I. Country music. I see a country concert, like, four times a Week.
[00:17:11] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:17:12] Speaker B: Like, I've seen. I've seen probably everybody, you could think, I feel like, just from playing festivals.
[00:17:16] Speaker A: Yeah. And I love how the genre has so many different things within it now.
[00:17:20] Speaker B: Yeah. You know, Well, I watched Gavin's show for the first time at Stagecoach, and. And it was.
My dad is a pastor. He was there with me. You know, Gavin show are really rowdy, and they, like, throw the beers and
[00:17:29] Speaker A: it's like, oh, yeah.
[00:17:30] Speaker B: So fun.
[00:17:31] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:17:32] Speaker B: I'd never seen it before. I was there with my dad. My dad's a pastor, and my dad comes up to me at the show and he's like, that was the best show I've ever seen. And I'm like, he loves Gavin Adcock now. So he made a fan out of my pastor.
[00:17:46] Speaker A: Yeah. My first time seeing Gavin live, we had him play acoustic in 2020 or 2021 at one of our rounds. And then I went down to Statesboro when he was still in college down there. So I'm at the Blue Room, and you talk about. It was like 800 cap, just kids on top. Like, it was. This was like, three, four years ago. And to see how that he still has that energy from the college club market to now.
[00:18:09] Speaker B: Awesome.
[00:18:10] Speaker A: And it's the festival, especially the big ones like the Stagecoaches, the Country Thunders. We see it with, like, tailgates and tall boys and Rock the South and stuff. You have all these different sects within the genre that you get to see.
[00:18:21] Speaker B: Totally. You totally do.
[00:18:23] Speaker A: And the people are there for all of it. They are like, one minute, they're the rocking out with you and the girls and the guys are belting all the words and singing about that X, you know, and then the guy, then they're freaking throwing beers at a Gavin show or a true show.
[00:18:35] Speaker B: It's awesome. It's really awesome.
[00:18:37] Speaker A: It's so much fun. So talk to me about Sweet Cigarette, your latest release.
[00:18:40] Speaker B: Yeah, well, that is one of my first songs that ever went viral. I remember I DM'd country chord whenever I had, like, a thousand followers on Instagram, and I was like, I hadn't posted my music on Instagram yet, and I DM'd them. And I was like, will y' all co post this with me? Because I was so embarrassed of my friends, like, seeing me post music and being like, why is she posting music? Like, what's going on? And they did, so I love them. But. Yeah, but I put this out. It was. It was really fun to go into the studio and kind of like, Record a proper. Because I've only had a voice memo or like tik toks of it for so long.
And it's cool to see that people relate to it and people like it and people are excited about it. And it's like a song I wrote two years ago. Two and a half years ago. Yeah.
[00:19:26] Speaker A: Because any girl and really, honestly, any guy has had that person that or had those two people. Because it's the two people.
[00:19:34] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:19:34] Speaker A: It's the one. That one that calls you. One that calls you sexy. The one that calls you beautiful, you know, or calls you pretty. Like you. And you run into that a lot here in town. Like, it's so relatable to. To coming up in the scene before
[00:19:46] Speaker B: I even moved here. I know, but it's like somehow I. I'm a prophet.
[00:19:50] Speaker A: I think that. Yeah, I think back to like when I first moved in, was hanging out at red Door and it's like you see the person that you should probably be talking to and that wants to talk to you, but you're still chasing that one. That's the. The wave in the red flags. You just gotta have them.
[00:20:04] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:20:04] Speaker A: You know, it's wild.
Um, when did you start seeing the viral. The rival. The viral success and like, everything just start going. It was Kelly Clarkson, right?
[00:20:13] Speaker B: That was one of the big moments. Yeah, totally. That was a humongous moment. That was crazy.
[00:20:18] Speaker A: Like, and you got to go back and play on her show too. That had to be so full circle.
[00:20:23] Speaker B: Such a full circle moment. She was so kind. And I got to thank her, which was like, awesome because she really did, like, she didn't have to sing my song. It's crazy that she heard it and she liked it and she wanted to sing on our show. That is like the coolest thing ever. It's Kelly Clarkson. And then I got to sing in front of Kelly Clarkson so I'll never be nervous again.
Yeah, it was amazing.
[00:20:43] Speaker A: Yeah. And the. The blowing up before that, like, what goes through your head? You're. You're just writing these songs about guys, life and having the endless. The endless voice memos and tik toks and the notes. And then all of a sudden you're getting hundreds of thousands to millions of people.
[00:21:00] Speaker B: It's crazy.
[00:21:01] Speaker A: Talking about you, following you, waiting for more music to come out. Like, what's that process? Like, is it 20 something?
[00:21:08] Speaker B: Yeah. I think that honestly, it was really felt natural because it wasn't overnight. It was like, of course there were like, really big moments. But I remember when my first video you know, my first 30 videos got a thousand views and like I remember when my first video got like 10,000 views or like I remember a video would get like 6,000 views and I'd be so excited. I'd be so excited. I'd be like refreshing, like reading every comment. And then I remember when my first video got like 40,000 views and I was like, oh my gosh, I've made it. Like, I talked about music more then and like about like my TikTok because I. It was such than I do now even I feel like, because I was so excited. It was such a crazy idea that. So it was just slowly progress and then my first view hit a million views and I think that was sweet. Cigarette and just like kind of slowly, consistently doing that. It wasn't like overnight because I know some people overnight will have like a 15 million view video and it's like, there you go. Like, figure it out.
[00:22:13] Speaker A: What do you do?
[00:22:13] Speaker B: And that's really stressful. I couldn't imagine if that was my fate because people. That's like, that's hard. That's hard to like, what do you do now? Do I move to Nashville? Like, what am I supposed to do?
[00:22:25] Speaker A: Yeah. Where do I go to record?
[00:22:26] Speaker B: Where do I go to record this? Exactly.
So I had a lot of time to kind of. It was a slow build and it. I was just as excited when I got like 10,000 views because it's the same feeling. It's not any different.
[00:22:40] Speaker A: Seeing that letter K next to a number.
[00:22:42] Speaker B: So cool. It was so cool.
[00:22:43] Speaker A: What a dopamine rush.
[00:22:44] Speaker B: So I remember when I hit 10k on Instagram, you would have thought Jesus came back.
I was so excited. I was so excited because it was like people cared. And I never in a million years would have thought me posting my videos would lead to people following me and like caring. I was posting them just for fun and like, because I liked writing music and I thought, okay, like whatever. Like I can just put them all on TikTok and versus my freaking notes app where I won't ever see them or I'll lose them, you know, So I never would have thought people cared. And so it is very, very cool.
[00:23:21] Speaker A: Yeah. Now you got people paying money to see you perform these.
[00:23:24] Speaker B: That's like literally insane.
[00:23:25] Speaker A: Like they are paying the money that they work to earn to come and watch you sing songs for however long.
[00:23:30] Speaker B: It is crazy. It is literally crazy.
[00:23:33] Speaker A: What is the interaction with fans been like?
[00:23:35] Speaker B: Playing live shows has been so fun because I never like, I started doing that in this past year, so it's been really, really cool to meet people.
I always say, like, I like talking more than I like singing at the show. Like, I love to talk. As soon as the song ends, I'm like, oh, my gosh, I'm so excited to talk to everybody.
[00:23:57] Speaker A: Like, to have the interactions with.
[00:23:58] Speaker B: Have interactions. But also even just, like, I say so much on stage, and I'm like, wait, I should not have said that. Like, oh, my God. Like, I literally name dropped someone the other day on stage, and now I'm, like, seeing the TikToks my for you page, and I'm like, what have I done? Like, oh, my goodness. Like, what have I done?
[00:24:14] Speaker A: Is it weird to have that microscope on you? Like, to have where I love it.
[00:24:18] Speaker B: Attention.
[00:24:18] Speaker A: If there are. Well, if there are. If there are the moments, like, where you have that oh. Moment. Like, I shouldn't have done that. And then it's everywhere.
[00:24:25] Speaker B: No, it's kind of cool. I think that's kind of fun. Who cares?
[00:24:29] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:24:29] Speaker B: Like, genuinely, you only live once, and, like, it doesn't really matter.
[00:24:36] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:24:36] Speaker B: Like, who cares if I get a call from an angry guy? Okay.
[00:24:40] Speaker A: Yeah. That's what you're. That's really. That's. That's how you got started with this whole thing was to answer. Answer a guy. And you've gotten to open for some great people and go out on. Go out on the road, talk about, like, your friendships with, like, Wyatt Flores and folks like that that you've gotten to hit the road with.
[00:24:55] Speaker B: Wyatt is literally awesome. I just saw him at Stagecoach, actually. I watched his set. It was so good. His new album was coming out.
[00:25:02] Speaker A: Yeah. And it's funny, I first met him in Stillwater. It was when I was touring with Trey Lewis on the DDID tour, and Wyatt was the local opener. He played acoustic.
[00:25:11] Speaker B: It's awesome.
[00:25:12] Speaker A: That was 2021. And seeing what he's done.
[00:25:14] Speaker B: Oh, he's. Well, you know, Wyatt followed me on Tick Tock when I had, like, 2, 000 followers.
[00:25:19] Speaker A: Oh, so he's OG.
[00:25:20] Speaker B: Oh, gee. Oh, gee. Oh, gee. He was the first person with a blue check mark to ever follow me.
[00:25:24] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:25:25] Speaker B: And I was like. And I told all my friends because we were in Oklahoma at the time.
[00:25:29] Speaker A: That's a big deal.
[00:25:30] Speaker B: Big deal.
[00:25:30] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:25:30] Speaker B: I was like, I've made it, Literally. But Wyatt has always been so kind to me. And so it was really cool. I played my first ever show opening for Wyatt.
[00:25:41] Speaker A: Really?
[00:25:41] Speaker B: Ever? Yeah. It was the basement. Not the basinist, the basement.
[00:25:46] Speaker A: The OG basement, which is.
[00:25:48] Speaker B: He did a pop up there.
[00:25:49] Speaker A: That is such a cool room. It was so cool to have your first show.
[00:25:52] Speaker B: My first show, and it was literally the worst. I was so bad. I was so bad. I was so nervous. I was shaking the whole time. I did two songs and then I did my second show with Wyatt and it was much better.
It was like in Arkansas, I'm pretty sure.
And it was like, you know, one of his headline and there were a lot more people, but I was not nervous at all. I was fine. So I don't know. I think I got all my nerves out. Sorry, Wyatt. It'll be my worst show I ever played.
[00:26:22] Speaker A: I also think there's something because I get told by people all the time that they get scared to play rounds versus playing in front of like a packed room with the full band because it's just them and the guitar.
[00:26:34] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:34] Speaker A: Like the basement, you got a hundred on a. I mean, at Most you got 120 in there.
[00:26:38] Speaker B: Exactly.
[00:26:39] Speaker A: And every. And you're in Nashville, so it's all music.
[00:26:42] Speaker B: Right.
[00:26:43] Speaker A: Watching you, like, it's a much tougher thing than going in front of a cold beer drinking crowd in Arkansas.
[00:26:48] Speaker B: Right.
[00:26:49] Speaker A: You know, So I don't blame you for having those nerves. And it's because it meant something to you.
[00:26:52] Speaker B: I know it was a huge deal.
[00:26:53] Speaker A: You only get nervous if you give a about it, you know?
[00:26:56] Speaker B: Well, I don't get nervous anymore, but
[00:26:57] Speaker A: I still go, well, I'm saying. I'm saying those. Well, I'm sure there's moments like, talk, like, talk like, talk about the Grand Ole Opry debut you got to make last year. That had to be a. Was that a nerve wracking moment?
[00:27:07] Speaker B: I don't get nervous, really.
I've. Since that first show, I don't feel. I get excited.
[00:27:13] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:27:13] Speaker B: But like, I don't get painfully nervous at all. It's really weird, actually. Like, I'm like, why don't I get nervous? There's something wrong with me. Like, I really don't. I mean, that was the best day of my life, but it was awesome. I wasn't nervous. I was. I was so happy.
[00:27:28] Speaker A: What's that feeling like stepping into that circle?
[00:27:30] Speaker B: It was literally insane because it's like, there's so much history and so, so many. All of my idols have sang there. It's literally also, the room was filled with my entire family. All my family came, all my friends were there.
And I did really good. Thank God I did good. And like, it felt so good that I Did well, and I didn't, like, screw it up. And everyone was like, you're so good. And it was their first time seeing me for a lot of people.
[00:28:00] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:28:00] Speaker B: It was really, really cool. It was really cool. I thought I was gonna, like, mess up because there was, like, pressure.
[00:28:07] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:28:07] Speaker B: This is your first time. You need to do well.
[00:28:09] Speaker A: And did you have your band guys with you, or was it the house band?
[00:28:13] Speaker B: They're amazing.
[00:28:14] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:28:14] Speaker B: I love the Opry house band. They're amazing.
[00:28:18] Speaker A: Yeah, I've heard they're, like, the best in the business. There's the reason why they are.
[00:28:21] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:28:21] Speaker A: The Opry house man.
[00:28:22] Speaker B: You.
[00:28:23] Speaker A: You earned your way to be.
[00:28:24] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:28:25] Speaker A: So what do you like doing when you're not doing music?
[00:28:28] Speaker B: What do I do?
[00:28:29] Speaker A: What do you do? What do you do with your life, Elizabeth?
[00:28:32] Speaker B: You know, I'm with my friends a lot. My best friends in town are my law school friends. I'm with them all the time. They're like my girlfriends who I would, like, die for. So I spend a lot of time with them. You know, we go out, we hang out, we. We eat. We. I'm with my family a lot. I mean, I'm. Everything I do is kind of music related somehow, and if it's not, I'm going to write about it.
[00:28:57] Speaker A: So it finds it.
[00:28:58] Speaker B: Yeah, it is. It finds its way. It finds its way, but it's good. I like it that way. I'm always rhyming.
[00:29:04] Speaker A: I think it's important to have a balance of both musical, like, friends that are in the musical world, in the music industry, and then friends that are outside of it.
[00:29:13] Speaker B: I completely agree.
[00:29:14] Speaker A: I think it's so important to have
[00:29:15] Speaker B: that balance really, really healthy. I also have, like, so many hometown friends who I love. I'm going to go see them literally this weekend.
So my friends and my family are. I have the top notch, best of the best people, so.
[00:29:28] Speaker A: So Dad's a pastor. What else. What else is the family doing? Brothers and sisters?
[00:29:32] Speaker B: My brother is at Kappa Sig at University of Kentucky.
[00:29:37] Speaker A: Oh, nice.
[00:29:38] Speaker B: John Nichols. He was fraternity brother of the week.
[00:29:41] Speaker A: Wow. Shout out John Brother.
[00:29:43] Speaker B: John Nichols. Exactly.
[00:29:44] Speaker A: That's a big deal.
[00:29:45] Speaker B: It's a huge deal.
So they. They asked me to play a show for them, and I was like, make John president, but I'm gonna play it anyway. But I literally. I love my brother. He's so cool. He. I remember when I first started doing music, he called me because it, like, showed up on his for you page, and he was like, elizabeth, cut this out. This Is embarrassing. And I'm like, john.
And he went to college and some girl came up to him one night, and this was like in the beginning days, like, you know, he went to college and he was at Canes, and some cheerleader, blonde girl went up to him, was like, do you know Elizabeth Nichols? And he was like, yeah, why? And she's like, I love her music. And he was like, elizabeth, I love your music, bro.
Keep going to the moon. For real.
[00:30:38] Speaker A: Got him a girl at Cane's.
[00:30:40] Speaker B: I got him a girl at Cannes.
So thank you so much to her because now John is very supportive.
[00:30:46] Speaker A: It's amazing. It's amazing. What a. What a. What an interaction. Late night at Kingsle did.
[00:30:50] Speaker B: It's crazy.
[00:30:50] Speaker A: It's hilarious. So you grew up a Kentucky fan then?
[00:30:54] Speaker B: No.
[00:30:55] Speaker A: Oh, so you guys are a divided household.
[00:30:57] Speaker B: I don't care.
[00:30:58] Speaker A: Oh, you don't care? You're not a sports. You're not a sports person.
[00:31:00] Speaker B: Whenever I want to wear red, I wear a Louisville sweatshirt. Whenever I want to wear blue, I like them both.
Why can't I like them both? I like am from Kentucky, and I'm from Louisville, and I have half of my friends who went to Kentucky and a half of my friends that went to Louisville.
So I'm bad. I don't care.
[00:31:19] Speaker A: Every.
[00:31:19] Speaker B: I like them both. I care. I want them both to win.
[00:31:21] Speaker A: Every group needs to have a Switzerland in it, you know, like, have the middleman. Have the. Have the person in the middle.
[00:31:26] Speaker B: I love them both.
[00:31:27] Speaker A: Who do you root for when they play?
[00:31:30] Speaker B: Whoever.
I just want them.
[00:31:33] Speaker A: Everyone to be happy, everyone to have fun.
[00:31:35] Speaker B: I'm just. I don't even watch. If you ask me who won, I'm like, I don't know. I was talking.
[00:31:40] Speaker A: Oh, so sports has never been a thing.
[00:31:43] Speaker B: Oh. I mean, I only care if I know someone playing.
Like, if I go to, like, when I went to my friends games in, like, college, I really cared. Oh, and I went to. Do you know what Oral Roberts University is? So that's where I went to college.
[00:31:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Big bracket buster school.
[00:31:58] Speaker B: So I really cared then. Yeah, I really cared. But I don't care. I don't care if it's just, like, random people. I care if I have money on the game.
[00:32:07] Speaker A: Oh, you do. You get into.
[00:32:08] Speaker B: I like to gamble. I like blackjack and I like, like, table games. Okay, but they don't have that here.
[00:32:14] Speaker A: No, there's the. There's the casino right over the border where it's just slot machines and ponies.
[00:32:19] Speaker B: The little horse track I don't like slot machines.
[00:32:21] Speaker A: No, it's got to be. Have you gotten to go out to Vegas at all?
[00:32:24] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. I love Vegas. I grew up going to Vegas.
[00:32:26] Speaker A: Really?
[00:32:27] Speaker B: We went. We spent every Thanksgiving in Vegas.
[00:32:29] Speaker A: Oh, no shit.
[00:32:30] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:32:30] Speaker A: That's cool. I've only been once. I got to go to NFR a couple years.
[00:32:34] Speaker B: I haven't been to NFR yet.
[00:32:35] Speaker A: You would thrive at nfr, you know, would be a. That would be a spectacle.
[00:32:40] Speaker B: I.
So I don't drink. I took my first drink of alcohol. I took a shot because I lost a bet regarding nfr.
[00:32:50] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:32:51] Speaker B: Because I'm a woman of my word. I'm a gambling woman.
[00:32:53] Speaker A: What's the. What's the bet?
[00:32:54] Speaker B: So Rocker is one of my friends.
[00:32:57] Speaker A: Yeah, I know Rocker.
[00:32:58] Speaker B: And Rocker was like, if I win nfr, you have to take a shot with me. The first day I ever met him, and I had no idea who this. Like, I didn't. I don't know anything about rodeo. Like, I don't watch sports. I don't know. Yeah, I didn't know he was, like, royalty.
[00:33:08] Speaker A: He's the guy.
[00:33:09] Speaker B: Yeah, he's the guy. And he's like. He's like, I'm going to win NFR this year. And I'm like, okay. Like, I don't know. Like, okay, cool. Like, good. He's like, when I do, you take a shot with me? And I'm like, okay. Like, I had no clue.
[00:33:21] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:33:22] Speaker B: So that was my first.
My first drink of alcohol.
[00:33:26] Speaker A: Wow.
Wow. I actually got to hang out with Rocker and his dad at nfr. And those when. When the cowboys go out afterwards in the bars, in the casinos, like, it is. It is some chaos.
It is some time. What casinos do you like out there?
[00:33:43] Speaker B: All casinos.
[00:33:44] Speaker A: All casinos. You like them all?
[00:33:46] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't care. We go to Caesars. We go anywhere. I don't. There's nothing different once you're inside. They all look the same.
[00:33:52] Speaker A: They're like giant malls. Yeah, they're what malls used to be. Like, you go into Caesars, and there's all the shops, and everything's crazy expensive and wild.
Where in town do you like to hang out? I know I've bumped into you in a few places over the East.
[00:34:05] Speaker B: Yeah, I go to east sometimes. I go. I feel like I just go where the people are. I'm not a. I always say whenever, like, we're in a group, we're like. They're like, elizabeth, where do you want to go next? I'm like, I am a Sheep, I am here to follow. I'm not here.
[00:34:17] Speaker A: Take you where you're going.
[00:34:19] Speaker B: Take me where y' all are. I just want to go where y' all are going. I don't care. I'm not the leader here.
I'm happy anywhere. Like, I'm not. I'm pretty easily pleased on a night out.
[00:34:31] Speaker A: Yeah. Because. Because we've seen you over at the local. You've come out some of our rounds there. Of course, Midtown. Of course. And then I think that east is having a moment right now. Like, Skinny Dennis is such a cool. It's really hard every night of the week. Like, I don't mind. I don't drink either. I'm. It's funny. We got the surfsides in front of us. Yeah, I'm coming up. I'm coming up. I'm coming up on 10 years sober here. But.
But it's like, I don't mind paying a cover to go and hang out at Skinny, right?
[00:34:56] Speaker B: Skinny's awesome.
[00:34:57] Speaker A: It's such a vibe where you don't even have to drink and you can just.
[00:34:59] Speaker B: So fun.
[00:35:00] Speaker A: Hang out. Do you get.
[00:35:01] Speaker B: The music's really good.
[00:35:01] Speaker A: Do you get on the dance floor there?
[00:35:03] Speaker B: I'm actually pretty good.
[00:35:05] Speaker A: You are.
[00:35:05] Speaker B: Toot my own horror.
[00:35:06] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:35:07] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, in Oklahoma, we would go to this bar called Rodeo, and it's shut down now, I think, because of a noise ordinance. But it was the only bar that was 18 plus in Tulsa.
[00:35:18] Speaker A: Oh, genius. To have the only bar. They did well.
[00:35:21] Speaker B: They did really well. And so we'd go.
We'd all go. And it was also Oral Roberts is like, a really Christian school. So it was the only bar that, like, the Christian. The super Christian kids would go to because they're like, it's a dancing bar.
[00:35:33] Speaker A: Sounds like Footloose.
[00:35:34] Speaker B: Yeah, it's like, exactly, basically. But we go to Rodeo and then Whiskey 918. Once I turned 21, we'd go to Whiskey 918 and we would dance every night. And I, I, like, I learned pretty, pretty well just because it was like, there's nothing else to do in Dallas, Oklahoma. So I do. I loved it. I loved it. Two step.
[00:35:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Because I, I, I've learned that the dancing culture, like, if you're a. Like, it doesn't even matter. Like, if you're a girl or a guy and you know how to dance. Like, it kind of just revolves. Like, you don't just dance with the same person. Like, it's a. It's awesome song by song basis. So if you're single and you know how to dance. It is a great way to meet somebody.
[00:36:14] Speaker B: It's literally so fun. Fun. It is so fun. I go dance at Skinny Dennis a decent amount here or there's like a two step Tuesdays. Yeah, I've been to that. That's really fun. I've met. I've literally met. I met a guy that I then was my boyfriend there actually.
So I guess I love dancing.
[00:36:32] Speaker A: That's awesome.
[00:36:33] Speaker B: Yeah. So.
[00:36:34] Speaker A: Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah. Cuz it's. I was never like I've been here for eight years now and I was never in east guy. Like I'd go to shows at like Basement east and I'd hang out at Lakeside Lounge. But I have found myself there so much more lately because. Because of Skinny and Underdogs got a great vibe. I love what Aniston and Delaney are doing. Texas too.
[00:36:53] Speaker B: Okay. I almost went. Literally. It was last night.
[00:36:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Or two nights ago.
[00:36:58] Speaker B: Yeah, I almost went.
[00:36:59] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:36:59] Speaker B: And I just missed it.
[00:37:01] Speaker A: Yeah. As someone who hosts a ton of events in town, that is my favorite event in town. Right.
[00:37:05] Speaker B: Okay, fine.
[00:37:06] Speaker A: It is. And it's the entire. And the entire crowd goes from the underdog right over to Skinny Dennis. So it's like. Then you end up with the two. You're going to be at Skinny anyway. You might as well just go out a little bit. Only like a two hour event which.
So it's like a quick. It's like a quick sprint. So what do we have coming up as far as music? You were talking about Paul Revere earlier.
[00:37:24] Speaker B: Paul Revere is coming up next. And then I've just been writing so much. I have so many songs. So we have a lot of songs to give. There's a lot of songs coming out.
[00:37:34] Speaker A: That's awesome. What inspired Paul Revere? Like, let's talk about that real quick.
[00:37:37] Speaker B: So I played my first show in Boston. I opened up for Waylon Wyatt there. And every city that we tour in, we try to do a hop on, hop off bus tour. Because it's like you learn the city and it's fun and. And we drove by Paul Revere like the tower where he put the lanterns.
[00:37:56] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:37:57] Speaker B: And I was just. It just like was on my mind and I was like, I'm kind of like Paul Revere. I love to tell people things.
[00:38:06] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:38:06] Speaker B: Whenever something bad happens, I'm very, very private. If like someone tells me a secret, like if someone tells me a secret, never in a million years, secrets are different. Am I telling anybody? Like, absolutely not. But if I have a secret. Like, that's my business.
I tell everyone, literally everyone. It's like I was flying back from.
To step in. I was. Lacy K. Booth was on my flight.
[00:38:37] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:38:38] Speaker B: We hadn't. We'd met very briefly before, and as soon as I got off the plane, I'm like. I see her and I'm like, guess what happened to me this weekend?
I'm like, she thinks something's wrong with me. Like, I just. I'm very open.
So I think that with my. My business.
So I'm like Paul Revere. That's. That was basically the connection there.
[00:38:58] Speaker A: Yeah. And it's telling, and it connects to. I think Little Birds is like that, too.
[00:39:02] Speaker B: It is.
[00:39:03] Speaker A: You know, where it all. All your songs connect.
[00:39:06] Speaker B: Things always get back to me. This is, like, actually a really crazy thing. I don't know what it is, but no matter what I find out, stuff that I'm like, I didn't even try to find this out. And it's like, this was a month and a half ago. What do you. How is this information finding me at, you know, Skinny Dennis on a Tuesday night? How.
[00:39:27] Speaker A: Like, that's crazy, because that's just what got your. Got your thing that God created.
[00:39:33] Speaker B: I'm actually so serious. Well, there's a Bible verse that's like, whatever is said in the dark will be said in the light, and whatever is said in, like, quiet rooms will be shouted from the rooftops. And I truly believe that, like, that verse is, like, for me, like, God, because God really just has a way of. I hear things all the time, but I think it's because I'm a good steward. I. I'm well behaved with the information that I receive, typically.
[00:39:57] Speaker A: Yeah. And then you're telling people important things, things you think they should know.
[00:40:00] Speaker B: They should know. They have to know.
[00:40:02] Speaker A: They should know that that guy. That guy was with that girl getting in that truck.
[00:40:05] Speaker B: They should. And they do. I've told them. Everyone knows.
[00:40:10] Speaker A: Yeah. It's a. It's a small town. Don't. Don't screw up.
[00:40:12] Speaker B: So true. Don't do something stupid that actually happened.
The guy got in the truck. Well, it wasn't a truck. It was an Uber. They got in the same Uber outside of Red Door.
[00:40:22] Speaker A: Oh, true story. So it was a red door.
[00:40:25] Speaker B: It was a red door night, actually.
[00:40:26] Speaker A: Oh, boy.
[00:40:27] Speaker B: Paul Revere was a red door night. But, like, I remember. I saw. So this is what happens. Okay. So, yeah, he leaves Red Door first, and then, like, five minutes pass and she leaves after him. And I Like, coordinating. I'm watching. And I'm like, okay. I'm like, I know. And I. So I grab one of my friends and I'm like, come here. And we go to the porch. We go to the back porch, and we, like, go over the back porch. And we're, like, looking. And I'm like, just watch. I have a feeling. And we see them meet outside together and getting in the same Uber. And I look at her. I'm like. And we're, like, rutted around the bar. We're like, Paul Revering told everyone, told everybody, told. I think all of Red Door knew that night.
[00:41:09] Speaker A: Ronnie the bartender, he knows.
[00:41:11] Speaker B: He knows.
[00:41:11] Speaker A: Ronnie knows all he knows.
[00:41:13] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:41:14] Speaker A: That's awesome. I haven't had a Red Door night in a minute. I gotta get back over there. I'm in. I'm at Odie's every week. So, yeah, think.
[00:41:20] Speaker B: But I love Odie.
[00:41:21] Speaker A: That's been our.
[00:41:22] Speaker B: I was there the night it opened and I've been there since.
[00:41:24] Speaker A: Yeah, that has been our. Our, like, our spot now. And the Wednesdays, it's just. It feels good. There's plenty of room for activities. The stage is great. The green room's great. Happy does next door is a lot of fun. Have you been there, like, weekend, like, day, like, day partying, vibes. Oh, like Saturday or Sunday.
[00:41:41] Speaker B: I've been there probably any day of the week at any time. Like, I probably.
[00:41:45] Speaker A: I love od because the weekends, like, when it's college football season, it is a elite over there.
[00:41:50] Speaker B: I feel like, especially before I started touring, I had, like, a period of time before I toured where I was really hitting the OD's. I feel like I don't have time. I'm never here.
[00:41:57] Speaker A: It's a good problem to have.
[00:41:58] Speaker B: It is. It's really good. But I'm like, I'm not at the bars as much anymore as I.
[00:42:03] Speaker A: Are you a foodie?
[00:42:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I love food.
[00:42:06] Speaker A: So what. What would you say is, like, your favorite restaurant? Well, I'm saying, like, because there's. There's so many styles of restaurants here. Like, are you a steak girl? You a sushi girl?
[00:42:15] Speaker B: My favorite restaurant in Nashville is Restoration Heart Hardware.
[00:42:17] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:42:18] Speaker B: I love Restoration Hardware.
[00:42:19] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:42:20] Speaker B: It's really good. Yeah, that's my favorite.

[00:42:23] Speaker B: She's so good.

[00:42:26] Speaker B: It's really good. You should take her. I was there last. Literally last night.
[00:42:29] Speaker A: Nice.
[00:42:30] Speaker B: So. It was so good. I love restaurants.

[00:42:35] Speaker B: Ladybird.
[00:42:35] Speaker A: Ladybird. I haven't. Where's that? I haven't been to that.
[00:42:37] Speaker B: There are like three locations. It's like a breakfast taco.
[00:42:41] Speaker A: Breakfast taco.
[00:42:42] Speaker B: I eat that probably the most out of, like, Nashville.
[00:42:46] Speaker A: Breakfast time.
[00:42:46] Speaker B: I order it all the time. All the time. Like, really often.
I get the number one.
[00:42:52] Speaker A: The number one.
[00:42:53] Speaker B: Okay, run with the Patron salsa.
[00:42:56] Speaker A: They're infusing Patron.
[00:42:57] Speaker B: I don't think it's actually. I think it's just the name I was gonna say.
[00:43:00] Speaker A: If they're putting patron in their salsa, the birds are flying high over there. Holy cow.
[00:43:05] Speaker B: Those are my faves, though. Lady Bird is awesome.
[00:43:07] Speaker A: That's awesome. Now, what's something that you would tell that girl that's thinking about, like, rewinding back to when you were still in law school, you got through the finals, and then you're thinking about making this leap. Knowing what you know now and what you've gotten to experience here over the past few years. What would you tell law school student Elizabeth Nichols?
[00:43:28] Speaker B: I don't know, cuz, like, I'm trying to think of any advice I would give myself, but, like, I wouldn't really change anything I've done so far because I don't think that it would have had the same, you know something then maybe I'd be in a different place if I changed anything.
[00:43:43] Speaker A: But. But like, where. Where your headspace was then.
[00:43:46] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:43:46] Speaker A: Is there any, like, the back and forth where you're, like, debating on, do you stay in school?
[00:43:52] Speaker B: Right.
[00:43:52] Speaker A: Take this jump off the diving board into music.
[00:43:55] Speaker B: I think that I. I honestly wasn't even in that much turmoil too. I think I would just tell her. It's. It's gonna be.
You're gonna be good. You're gonna be really happy you didn't go to law school, so.
[00:44:07] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, well, awesome. Well, I can't wait for Paul Revere to come out. I can't wait. Do we have any. So after Paul Revere, any other music you can tell us about?
