Speaker 3 00:02:58 Doing great.
Speaker 1 00:03:00 See, this time of year is when the allergies are killing me. Like I just feel like shitty
Speaker 2 00:03:04 Nashville's is like the worst for allergies too.
Speaker 3 00:03:06 Yeah, it, I mean, yeah. Yeah. Like, well actually when I moved up here, my mom was like, oh, your allergies are gonna be so much better living up there than Alabama. No, but like it hasn't. It's been so much worse. <laugh>,
Speaker 1 00:03:18 It's
Speaker 2 00:03:18 Worse. Like, I remember driving through parts of Alabama, like South Alabama where I'm from, where you could literally see clouds of pollen from the pine trees. Yeah. And like, this is still worse than that ever.
Speaker 3 00:03:28 But then it's like those, like those type of trees that like the little white stuff comes off of 'em, like, yeah. Isn't
Speaker 2 00:03:34 That dogwoods? Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:03:35 Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. I don't have those up here, so I was like, my allergies are gonna be better.
Speaker 1 00:03:39 Oh no, you're from, it's, you're, you say you're from, you tell people you're from Montgomery, but you're from a
Speaker 3 00:03:44 Smaller town, right? Yeah. That's why I, I say, uh, close to Montgomery, just cuz um, no one knows where I'm actually from. It's called Hope Hole, like hoop hole. Um, yeah. But it's like 15 minutes south of Montgomery.
Speaker 1 00:03:55 Okay. So Montgomery, I think have, have I been to Montgomery with, with you and the boys? Tyler,
Speaker 2 00:04:00 You have, you've been through
Speaker 1 00:04:01 I've been through it. So a spot where we've talked about it in this podcast quite a bit. It was one of Tyler's first shows, I believe, with Gary and Charlie with the Musk month after I got hired. Ranged, what is it?
Speaker 3 00:04:12 Range 2 31? Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:04:13 Yeah. How country is that place?
Speaker 3 00:04:15 Dude,
Speaker 1 00:04:16 <laugh>.
Speaker 3 00:04:17 So like, when I first started playing music, like freshly 18, right? Um, all these guys have been playing around Montgomery for forever. Like, you know, the Wilson Brothers and this guy named River Dan, you know, he's big around there. And, um, all these older dudes, you know, were kind of playing. And I was the only girl playing. Plus I was 18 years old around that place opened. So it was kind of like a, that kind of, you know, took over as like my older brothers in the industry. But as, as far as how country that place is, it is, is, but I don't even know if country's the right word. I would say I totally
Speaker 2 00:04:46 Redneck top off.
Speaker 3 00:04:47 Yeah, it is. That's what everyone calls it. Yeah. It's, it's so wild. It's definitely some of my most wild stories thus far. I've come from that place.
Speaker 2 00:04:55 I remember, this is a good one from, from my mom. She came to that concert that was her first Muscadine show. And
Speaker 3 00:05:02 Oh
Speaker 2 00:05:02 God, God bless her.
Speaker 3 00:05:04 I played that show actually. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:05:05 And she was sitting in a chair and she was like trying to film and she said, all of a sudden her phone just disappeared out of her hand. And this girl next to her had just grabbed her phone, was raising it higher so we could get a better, better view.
Speaker 3 00:05:19 The people do not care.
Speaker 2 00:05:20 Yeah. And she was just like, what the hell? Like, didn't know the girl at all or anything. Yeah. But yeah, no, that was, that was crazy.
Speaker 3 00:05:26 It's a weird environment for me. A lot of like, people from high school go there. So it's like, every time I attend it's just kind of like a high school reunion, but it's not, yeah. It's terrible. But it's not like the your favorite people from high school. It's kind of the people that you're like, you know, so it's like half and half <laugh>. I'm like, sometimes like, what's up? Then sometimes I'm like, I'm gonna go in the green room.
Speaker 2 00:05:48 It's like the, you know, it's the people that you're like, oh, you're still alive. That's good. That's
Speaker 3 00:05:51 Fine. Yeah, that's exactly
Speaker 1 00:05:52 When it's like, so coming from small town Alabama, what's that adjustment been like? Coming to Nashville? Like, is Nashville's a city To me, coming from New York, Nashville isn't like a huge city. Yeah. But I know for a lot of folks that are coming from these small towns, it's, it's a pretty big jump for you guys. Well,
Speaker 3 00:06:06 Uh, I, uh, well I lived there and then I moved to Auburn, which is a little bit bigger it feels like, but not really cuz like, you make your friend group, I guess it's not bigger. I don't know. Oh. And then, I mean, it's bigger to me than hopeful. Yeah. You know? Oh yeah. And then, uh, then moving to Nashville, it seemed really big at first, and then I kind of started like making friends and stuff, and then like, going out and always seeing people, someone that I know, it doesn't seem as big. Like I said that all the time when people ask me like, what's it like living all the way in Nashville? You know, <laugh>, <laugh>, they're like, you know, and I'm just like, it's really like, I don't know, it's kind of feels homey, if that makes any sense. Yeah. I don't know. And
Speaker 2 00:06:43 Like so many people that live in Nashville also live outside of
Speaker 3 00:06:46 Nashville. Yeah. See, like, we live in Hermitage. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:06:49 Y'all here, y'all are in like, one of the best spots. I freaking love Hermitage and I love just being on like, the outskirts of stuff
Speaker 3 00:06:55 Except for apparently our house. It's a hotspot for stuff, you know?
Speaker 1 00:06:58 <laugh> <laugh>. Yeah. So real quick too. You said Auburn just to fuck with Boudreau. Can I get a war? Damn Eagle. A
Speaker 3 00:07:05 War Damn Eagle. Hell yeah, baby.
Speaker 1 00:07:07 I love, I love, I love when I, I just love the, the, the Iron Bowl rivalry Yeah. Of Auburn and Alabama. Well,
Speaker 3 00:07:13 This year it's not gonna be very good, but usually it's, uh, yeah, usually it's more fun.
Speaker 1 00:07:17 Well, last year y'all gave 'em a real good last year. You all obviously won that game. Yeah. This year. Last
Speaker 2 00:07:21 Year they actually had a good
Speaker 1 00:07:22 Team. Yeah. This year it's,
Speaker 3 00:07:24 Well, my, my freshman year, um, I, that my freshman year the Iron Bowl was at home and the night before I got alcohol poisoning.
Speaker 1 00:07:34 What's your favorite bar at Auburn
Speaker 3 00:07:36 Sky Bar? I mean, sky Bar. Yeah. I mean, that's everybody's favorite bar. I mean, um, yeah. Sky Bar. I mean, it's just has many different levels.
Speaker 1 00:07:44 Yeah. And that, and that college, that Southern college circuit is so big for a lot of you guys and girls coming up. Yeah. Um, was Auburn the first place that you were gigging As far as the college circuit? Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:07:56 Um, uh, I was just playing around Montgomery and then I started, uh, I started out at this bar called Bourbon.
Speaker 1 00:08:01 Oh, bourbon Street? Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:08:02 Okay. And, uh, that, that's how I got, it was 65 South too. Um, but I started playing there and then, um, I don't, I don't even know how it led to other bars. I just somehow got it.
Speaker 1 00:08:12 It all becomes like a blur. I'm sure. Cause
Speaker 3 00:08:15 Yeah. It's been
Speaker 1 00:08:15 Something I've noticed too, just, just that maybe it's, maybe it's because the restrictions haven't been as heavy in, in the deep South, but a lot of y'all haven't stopped gigging like you got, like,
Speaker 3 00:08:25 I have, but I know Clay, clay is still like, he is still playing. Especially right now.
Speaker 1 00:08:29 Well, I'm just talking about like 2020 as a whole. Oh yeah. Like this year yourself, Trey Lewis, clay Barker, um, Justin Holt. There's a lot of you, you guys and girls that are just still going mm-hmm. <affirmative> and like, I don't know if it's just you guys have just this hunger for it or just if, if the circuit's still open or what it is. I
Speaker 3 00:08:46 Mean, I just think like bar owners and stuff like that down there, like, they're like, we still need to make money. And we, you know, they still, I mean, especially in college bars, like school doesn't stop, you know? So like, they're knocking, they're gonna keep making money, you know, if they, they, uh, you know, shut down all the bars and stuff. Yeah. So
Speaker 1 00:09:03 <laugh>. Yeah. What's what's the floor of Alabama? Like,
Speaker 3 00:09:07 What you'd think it's like <laugh> About <laugh>?
Speaker 1 00:09:10 Yeah, pretty
Speaker 3 00:09:10 Much. Uh, yeah, me and, uh, me and Joy Beth played a show down there and I didn't feel drunk and neither did she. But, uh, some videos were let loose and <laugh> this guy, his name's Davis Nicks, I met him, uh, at Range 2 31 2, and he books down there. And, uh, he's like my older brother, you know, and he was just like, he was obviously, it's a thing everyone has gotten hammered on stage at the floor. Bama. Yeah. I mean, you get tipped in alcohol pretty much. And, uh, he was like, all right, so you've got two shows today. Let's, uh, let's work on that. You know, like, no one's mad, but everyone's just like, whew. But, uh,
Speaker 1 00:09:49 Yeah, cause it's what, it's, it's mostly covers. Those are what, four, four
Speaker 3 00:09:52 Hours? Four hours?
Speaker 1 00:09:53 So two four hour gigs a day.
Speaker 3 00:09:55 Yeah. We did eight hours. But dude, we make, I mean, you make great tips and like what's cool about the Flo Alabama is people are there to listen to live music, you know what I mean? Like, playing cover shows where like, if you're playing covers and nobody's listening, that is what's humiliating. You're like, oh my God, I hate my life. You know? Yeah. But then like, um, at the Flo, Alabama, like, you play covers and then like, you mix in your original stuff and then you people like, you know, and then they follow you around all weekend too. Like, we had lots of people come back to like, that came to our first shows that came to like, other ones too.
Speaker 1 00:10:24 And then that translates to the streaming numbers, which you've got a couple songs out. Yeah. I know you've got more Every time I'm hanging out with, with your, your kind of crew, it seems like you guys are writing so much that each week, like say I pop over the house and we're hanging out having a fire, which this Saturday was awesome, by the way. Mm-hmm. We had, this was so much fun. We, we had a good old time. Um, but every week that I come and hang out with you guys there, y'all have new songs and you're like, this is a new one I wrote this week. Like, you guys just, just continue to, to keep it going and stuff. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Um, what was your first co-writing experience like in town? Or were you co-writing down in Alabama already?
Speaker 3 00:10:57 Uh, I wouldn't even, I mean, I didn't start writing until I really, I moved to Nashville. I mean, I wrote, but like, I w I had no idea what the heck I was doing, you know what I mean? So like, uh, when I first moved up here, uh, I did a co-write up here with a guy named before I moved up here. His name is, uh, scotch Taylor. And he writes with Brent Cobb. Randall Lambert. Nice. Um, and I met him at Range 2 31 too. I mean, kind of has made a lot of connections for me and that was cool. I had no idea really how to ride still. I mean, tha that dude really stuck it out, like trying to, uh, you know, but, uh, really my first write, co-write here with somebody, I had no idea who they were and I was not friends with was Matt McKinney. Oh,
Speaker 1 00:11:33 No shit.
Speaker 3 00:11:34 Yeah. Uh, so I, uh, me and Trey started writing a song and he had to been telling me about Matt and he was like, you need to write with Matt, you need to write Matt. And, uh, so we started riding one of the guys, um, me and Trey did. And then, uh, he invited Matt over and then Trey ended up getting dumped in the middle of our Right. So Trey checks out and then me and Matt like, just kind of hung out and like wrote a good bit of the song. So hell yeah. It
Speaker 1 00:11:57 Was cool. Old skinny McKinney. Yeah. We enjoy, we enjoy him. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:12:00 We, uh, we clicked automatically and ever since, I mean, we love to ride together. Yeah. What's
Speaker 1 00:12:05 That's good a
Speaker 3 00:12:05 Song
Speaker 1 00:12:06 For people that don't know him, describe Tre Lewis. Cuz he, to me is like the ultimate, like wild car, just, just bundle of fun. He's got a swamp monkey in y'all's house. Like I haven't Swamp
Speaker 3 00:12:15 Monkey does. The Swamp Monkey is like the ass end of a deer if you don't know what that is. <laugh>, which I didn't know what it was. And I'm from Alabama, so like Sam. Yeah. I mean, I've never seen one. He just was like, look, this is my dad's, you know, <laugh>, just whatever, uh, Trey is. I mean, that's pretty much Trey like, just says whatever's on his mind. The best way to describe Trey is the drunkest sober person you've ever met. Yeah. If that makes any sense. He's truthful 100% of the time. Anything that comes to his brain, he is gonna say. And like, that's why like, I feel like everyone loves Trey. Like sometimes he's like, I really need to just like, calm down what I'm saying. I'm like, no. I feel like that's where everyone loves Trey, because like, it's always,
Speaker 2 00:12:52 It's always funny for me too. Like, I've been getting into this group now where Trey's calling me like 11 midnight. Oh. Like somewhere around there and just like wanting to talk. And I'm like, at that time of night if somebody's calling me, usually like something's wrong. Yeah. And so I'm like picking up the phone like, what's up bud? You good? And he's like, yeah man, how about them Braves tonight? And I'm like, oh, okay. You're
Speaker 3 00:13:10 Usually, he's driving back from somewhere so he just wants to talk on the phone. Yeah. He uh, he's very interesting. Like that's the person I always ask about my outfits or whatever. Like, I'm like, did I, do I look fat in this? He's like, you can't, like Joy Beth went up and asked him that one time and he was like, you can't hide your fat or something like that. <laugh>. And then, uh, one time I remember I was uh, trying on swimsuits for Joy Beth's birthday party first time. Like we really hung out and I was like trying on different ones and like, I don't ask Clay, cuz Clay's always gonna be like, baby look amazing. Yeah. You know? But I asked Trey and Trey was like, that one looks good. And then I tried to afford different ones as girls do. And Trey said, uh, just be fat and sassy. Come on <laugh>, <laugh> just be fat and sassies. Now that's a joke that we have, but
Speaker 1 00:13:54 <laugh>. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. It seems like you've got like these older brothers. Yeah. Like,
Speaker 3 00:13:57 I
Speaker 1 00:13:58 Really do. Which is helpful in town.
Speaker 3 00:13:59 Yeah, it is. It's uh, it's cool. Um, I, like I said, I mean I've always been friends with guys, you know, and it's just cool to especially be up here in kind of that transfer and have a, even girls too, like it is weird, like even girls up here, I feel like I'm getting along with way more than I usually would cuz I feel like it's just my type of people and especially like, I feel like in our friend group, like we are, we're slowly like getting new people in. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:14:24 Oh
Speaker 3 00:14:24 Yeah. Um, it's getting bigger and it just feels so family oriented. I mean, we talked about this the other night. It's just like, you know, a whole bunch of people that support each other to the nth degree.
Speaker 1 00:14:33 Yeah. And it's kind of been a silver lining of mm-hmm. <affirmative> of this crazy shit year that has been 2020. Yeah. Like I would not have have met you. I would not have met Mitch. I would not have met like a ton of the people that I hang out with now and talk to regularly. Yeah. Had it not been for us being off the road and looking for something to do on Tuesdays and going and playing kickball. Yeah. Like, it's funny how super fun, how that shit all kind of comes together. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>.
Speaker 3 00:14:57 And, and it's cool too. I mean, we're all, we all like, you know, especially, you know, some of us are ride together too. Like we're we bicker like brother and sister. Yeah. And then the next day it's like, you wanna go get lunch or something, you know what I mean? Like, it, it really is like a family. It's, it's weird. And uh, how it's happened is, and
Speaker 1 00:15:12 The whole group is growing together. Yeah. It's, and a lot of y'all are playing the same kind of rounds. I know we've got you on our round. Uh, yeah. But when this episode drops, it'll be the following night, so you'll be Oh really? Yeah. So it'll be, um, be next, uh, be next Tuesday or what would be tomorrow with when the episode drops since we're talking in the future and podcast world and all that shit. But, um, how has that been for you, <laugh> <laugh>? How has, how has that been for you playing writer rounds and stuff? Cause you moved up here, what was it, a little over a year ago? All you Yeah, it's been on Alabama folks came, it
Speaker 3 00:15:42 Was like a year ago in July, I think. Okay.
Speaker 1 00:15:44 So about a year and a half or like a year and a quarter. How you want to count it.
Speaker 3 00:15:47 I be like, I feel like we missed a big chunk with quarantine, you know what I mean? So I feel like technically I've only been up here for like a year. Yeah. Kind of. But, uh, as far as like playing rounds and stuff, um, it was really nerve wracking. So my very first round I played was revival.
Speaker 1 00:16:01 No shit. Yeah. That's not, that's the big first round to Yeah. To play.
Speaker 3 00:16:06 Yeah. Well, uh, Davis, Nicks, uh, he uh, he lived up here at the time and, uh, he texted me and he was like, Hey, you wanna come play revival? I was like, uh, like had zero songs. Like, I was like, oh my God, I've written like five, you know, seven songs that like, I would show people in my life <laugh>. And I was like sitting there having to play it and it was nerve wracking. But yeah, it really threw me in into playing arounds. And after that I was just,
Speaker 1 00:16:28 You know, now it seems like you're playing at least one or two a week. Yeah. And that's consistent of, of this whole, this whole crew that you've got. I mean, tonight you're playing one, I'm you're, aren't you playing one later in the week too? Yeah, we're playing the Thursday night. Yeah. Like it's Thursday. And that's the thing is that you're, you're still going down to Bama, making your money, grinding your teeth, doing what you gotta do down there. And then you're able to play as a writer in front of all these people and do all that. You're, you're well,
Speaker 3 00:16:53 That's what feeds me, you know what I mean? It's like, um, playing these cover shows can sometimes get so monotonous. And so like, even though like, it's fun, you're in front of a crowd that just wanted, but they, they just wanna hear something they can sing to at the end of the day. Yeah. I don't really, I mean, sometimes you get a few fans from that, you know what I mean? But like at the end of the day, they just wanna hear something they can sing to and get drunk to and half of 'em are too drunk to remember who you are <laugh> and you know that going in. Yeah. And my, my look on it is, I, this is how I make my money and I'm making my money. I'm working on my, um, stage presence. I'm getting tighter with my band. You know what I mean? And, um, I look at it like that and I do, I mean, I do walk away from every show with a couple fans and that's worth it enough. But being able to come back here and write and play original music to people that actually care is kind of, you know, what feeds me as an artist. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:17:37 Now, when did, um, the idea of you wanting to do music come into play? Like when, when was the, the moment that I want to be Ella Langley, the, I wanna be up there singing country songs.
Speaker 3 00:17:47 Uh, I've always sang, like, it's always been something I love to
Speaker 1 00:17:51 Do. You a church, church singing in church, girl. Oh,
Speaker 3 00:17:53 It duh. I mean, that's how we all get started. I feel like
Speaker 2 00:17:56 <laugh>, every person, my
Speaker 3 00:17:57 Grandpa played the piano while I got up there and sang, you know, three years old. But, uh, um, I, I've always sang, I've always done it. And it, uh, it's weird. Like it's always been something I've like, I never like thought like, I wanna do this. This has always been something like, oh, I'm gonna do that. Like, it's never been in like, I'm gonna go be a vet or I'm gonna go, you know, do this or this or this.
Speaker 1 00:18:14 Have you, have you had other jobs in your life? Like
Speaker 3 00:18:17 No. This has been the only job I've ever had. Really? So straight outta high school. Um, so I played sports year round. Okay. I mean, practice after school every day. So I couldn't never have that job. What was
Speaker 1 00:18:25 Your best sport? What were you like this shit at?
Speaker 3 00:18:29 I mean, dancing isn't technically a sport. People
Speaker 1 00:18:32 Get hurt in dancing. It's competitive.
Speaker 3 00:18:33 I mean, I, I played soccer and I was decent at that. Okay. But it's also a small a i a school. So if I went and played anywhere else, where'd you school at? Like,
Speaker 2 00:18:39 Huh? Where'd you go to school at?
Speaker 3 00:18:41 It's called, it's, well it's called <laugh>. I say Hooper, but it, it is pr, I don't know, like it's, it's H O O P E Rs. So Hooper. Yeah. I'm laughing cuz Mitch is in the back. When you
Speaker 1 00:18:52 Say h
Speaker 3 00:18:53 I say okay, I don't need anything.
Speaker 1 00:18:55 What the hell the hell did you get Hper outta that?
Speaker 3 00:18:56 It's a thing. Uh, it's a thing Mitch is laughing in the background right now. That's why I started laughing. But, uh, it's a thing that when your parents went there, like a lot of my friends, like their parents went there and they all say Hooper. But if you just attend the school, you say Hooper, like, I don't know. It's a big argument. So
Speaker 1 00:19:12 You, you know, you're an OG if you say H
Speaker 3 00:19:14 Yeah. Hooper. Yeah. But
Speaker 1 00:19:16 I, but I'm, I'm gonna read it. I'm gonna say Hooper. Yeah. You as is the rest of the world.
Speaker 2 00:19:19 This, the next time we go down south, it's almost side of the interstate. Yeah. Like it is, you can
Speaker 1 00:19:23 See it. Oh. Oh. So you know. Right. You know what she's talking
Speaker 2 00:19:25 About. I, I know like whenever I see Huber Academy, like we're probably what, 15, 20 minutes from Montgomery? Uh, yeah. Yeah. Like I know, like that's a landmark that I'm like, all right, cool. I'm getting close to Montgomery.
Speaker 1 00:19:35 They got a water burger in Montgomery. No, no.
Speaker 3 00:19:38 I think they're making one though. Really? I think they're getting one, right? They had one
Speaker 1 00:19:42 In these. Oh, they had one.
Speaker 3 00:19:43 Oh had one. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 00:19:45 That's how I know places in Alabama is by where like when we're going way down the south, Alabama, like mobile and all that stuff, where the water burgers are on the way back to Nashville. Yeah. Because Whataburger is a delicacy and it, it's, it's something that I like a lot. Maybe it's cuz I don't get to have it or
Speaker 3 00:20:00 I, um, I didn't have, uh, Whataburger until like, honestly a couple years ago for the first time. Really? After we played a show in an unpopular opinion, I did not like it.
Speaker 1 00:20:09 Oh shit. Boudreau. Which one did you have Boudreau about to go off? <laugh>. It
Speaker 3 00:20:12 Might have been a bad one
Speaker 2 00:20:13 I've had because there's a couple in Alabama that are just piss poor <laugh>. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:20:16 So I, I've had, uh, the same water burger twice and each time I didn't like it. So which one is it? It's some, it's one of them in Birmingham. I don't know. South or north We played If it helps you, we did Zydeco that night. It's probably
Speaker 2 00:20:28 The south one in it's trash.
Speaker 3 00:20:30 Okay. Then that's why like, I got a hamburger. I was super hype, I was really drunk and I was like, here we go. And it was terrible.
Speaker 1 00:20:37 Hell yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah. See I've, I like it. And the first time I was in there I was pretty, I was pretty hazy. I was, I was pretty stoned <laugh>. And um, the guys were like, you gotta order the honey butter chicken biscuit. I couldn't, that was too many words to process. So I ordered the honey boo boo biscuit and uh, that's what I call to this day.
Speaker 3 00:20:54 Oh, the honey boo.
Speaker 1 00:20:55 I call, I call it honey boo Boo. It's honey butter. But I say Honey boo boo it cv hp c v <laugh>.
Speaker 3 00:21:01 Did you? I like how when I said the terrible line that Boudreaux just kind of sits up in his chair a little bit,
Speaker 1 00:21:05 Gets flustered and be fatten words boom ba <laugh> that you can talk all the shit you want about, about the tide. But the moment you talk about Waterberg, you're negative B Joe's very Water burger hat. I like,
Speaker 3 00:21:16 I was with him during the George Alabama game. Literally barely like, said anything for real. But like now, like as one fighting word comes across for waterburn
Speaker 1 00:21:24 Important. Yeah. Yeah. The, that was, that was great by the way. And again, talking about, talking about like the crew and whatever that, that we've kind of all come in to being a part of. Everybody's kind of like from everywhere. I mean there are a lot of Alabama folks, like in that one, that one house that you live in, there's a Yeah, I like
Speaker 3 00:21:40 Everyone from Alabama is in our house and then like fudge a lot of Georgia. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:21:45 Um,
Speaker 3 00:21:45 And then
Speaker 2 00:21:46 Feel bad for Trey.
Speaker 3 00:21:47 For Trey. He's
Speaker 2 00:21:48 An Alabama fan and a house full of Auburn fans.
Speaker 3 00:21:50 Trey could give two shit. <laugh>. I mean, it's Trey man, like, you know, he just, but yeah. Uh, we, Trey, we always wanna put up clays like Auburn stuff and we just don't do it. And respect.
Speaker 2 00:22:03 At least there's the respect, you know, <laugh>.
Speaker 3 00:22:05 Yeah. We don't really get
Speaker 1 00:22:07 What's the first night in Nashville that you don't remember? Like your first night where you were like, you went out and went, you went to him at the bars. <laugh>
Speaker 3 00:22:14 Dude. Uh, so when I first moved here, I was 20. So I had to use a fake ID to get in everywhere.
Speaker 1 00:22:21 What state, what state was it for? You can say
Speaker 3 00:22:24 It. I think it's Alabama. I think it was, I've had real, I've had a lot of fake IDs speak.
Speaker 1 00:22:28 So me, me and Tyler used to catch a lot of 'em. When we were working the door on Broadway, I used to catch like five to 10 at night and Alabama's a rare one. Not a lot of people try to fake.
Speaker 3 00:22:38 Well, it was real too, but,
Speaker 1 00:22:39 Oh, so it was a misrep. You were using someone else's name
Speaker 3 00:22:42 And, and it didn't look like me at all. Um, but I somehow got in
Speaker 1 00:22:45 With it. Was it the, was it the face didn't look like you, was it saying were like it was Well
Speaker 3 00:22:49 The girl like no, everything else was right, but the girl like, looked kind of like she was cracked out a little bit. Like her neck was like super strained and like her face was smiling really hard and like
Speaker 1 00:23:00 <laugh> like what? Do you remember the address on the id?
Speaker 3 00:23:02 No, I didn't learn any of that. I never had to use it. But by the, my first, uh, little off top, my first fake ID was the weirdest name. And I'll never forget it. It was, uh, I found it on the floor in a bar in Auburn and I took it and it, the name was, uh, Bianca Strange. And my dad saw that for the first time. It was like
Speaker 1 00:23:21 <laugh>. I mean, you look like, you look kind of like a Bianca.
Speaker 3 00:23:24 Oh geez. Thanks
Speaker 1 00:23:25 Bianca. I don't know about Bianca Strange. I feel like Bianca,
Speaker 3 00:23:28 That's a stripper name to the core. Like, they were like, what's the weirdest
Speaker 1 00:23:30 Name? That's Aper. It's a jerry on this ringer name. What? Whatever. You know? Yeah. And I'm sure there's the strange family exists in Alabama, I'm sure. No.
Speaker 3 00:23:37 But, uh, the, the worst, the the worst. I think one of the worst hangovers I've ever had was Trey, you know, Trey, for everyone who doesn't know Trey's been sober for like 13 years I think now. Yeah. 12, 13 years. Um, but he loves to get other people like as drunk as possible
Speaker 1 00:23:52 Act too. As as do I. Yeah. It's, it's a, I don't know what it is about us being sober folks. I mean, Trey is completely straight edge. I still dabble in some other, some other recreation activities. Yeah. But yeah, we, we enjoy seeing other people get fucked up.
Speaker 3 00:24:05 I've personally seen him, including myself. I've seen him do it to me, but like seen him personally get other people just like so trashed to where like they've got kicked out of a bar and Trey's just like accomplished. You know what I mean? <laugh>. But uh, no, he went Thank you for the warning. Yeah. <laugh>. I'm telling you dude, if you, he picks you out at the beginning of the night, like you have, you can he'll buy you a shot and without even asking you and yet to take it. But, uh, I, we went to Losers and he can't buy me tequila shots. Oof. And that's what I shoot. I mean I love tequila. Um, that's what my band shoots. And uh, dude, I got home and I mean I just all night just threw up all night long and then the next day it was one of those hangovers where you can't even like lift your head out.
Speaker 1 00:24:47 Oh
Speaker 3 00:24:47 Yeah. And it was like I had to cancel all my rights that day. Like I had a round that night, I had to cancel it. Like, I just was like, that's how bad the hangover was. And Trey just came in the room the next morning, you know, no hangover, obviously sober as can be <laugh> and just how you feeling, you know, loud. Just, you know, always comes in my room and messes with me. So listen about Trey, that time
Speaker 1 00:25:07 <laugh>. Well, I'm looking forward to watching tomorrow night how many tequila shots he has because you're on a round with on, on our round at Live Oak. It's you, yeah. JB mm-hmm. <affirmative>, Alex Maxwell and Trey Lewis. I'm interested to see who Trey can get the drunkest out of you. Oh, Jay, probably Alex, I think you're right. I'm probably gonna, Alex is probably gonna have to carpool up with me or carpool. Well,
Speaker 3 00:25:28 I don't have any problems saying no to Trey. Like, I have zero problems being like, no, I'm not doing this. And he'd be like, he won't even ask me, come on. Like, he would just be like, okay. Like, cuz he knows like if I say no, like I'm not doing it, but I can totally see like, or jb JB will be like, alright, like JB can be trashed and, and someone will be like, you wanna take a shot? Like, and she'll be like, alright. Like at the Flo, Alabama that night, it was just
Speaker 1 00:25:52 <laugh>. It was Oh boy. Yeah. I'm looking forward to tomorrow night now talking music. Uh, for you, did you grow up listening to Straight Country? No, I get a rock, I get, I get a rock vibe
Speaker 3 00:26:02 From you. No, so I mean, I listen to country, obviously all the, you know, classic greats and my dad put me on that. But, um, my mom's from Michigan and she went, she lived in New York for a while. She went to Boardings. Hey.
Speaker 3 00:26:14 Um, but um, she was like, if he asked where I was from, can you tell him this? I'm like, yeah, that would be the top question of the, the podcast where my mom's from <laugh>, but, uh, <laugh>. But, uh, no. So, uh, she listened to a lot of stuff like, um, you know, Eddie Vetter and Peter Paul and Mary and stuff like that. And then, uh, my dad loved a lot of like classic rock and stuff and so like all that mixed together. And then I got on a huge classic rock kick like my, you know, junior to senior year. And then I've just, so something I done, I, I've always played. And then the guys that I first, I've, the guys that I played my very first show with are still the same guys I play with now. And they all love classic rock and they've all like played that since
Speaker 1 00:26:53 They're younger. So what's like your go-to classic rock cover if I show up to the Flo Alabama and you're up there full band or maybe maybe range 2 31 or one of those
Speaker 3 00:27:01 Other spots? Yeah. Um, dude, I don't know, there's so many. My favorite one that we do right now is probably pour some sugar on me.
Speaker 1 00:27:07 I was gonna say, I could totally see you rocking that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:27:10 I love, I just, that's why I love the deal. I love rocking out and then, you know, my bass player has a huge metal background and my drummer played the metal. That
Speaker 1 00:27:17 Helps. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:27:17 Yeah. I mean, we like every song we rock it out to the nth degree. I love it though.
Speaker 1 00:27:22 Have you had to do any Broadway gigs?
Speaker 3 00:27:24 No, I haven't. I I haven't at all. <laugh>. I mean, I would, you know, if, uh, sometimes I've been thinking about it lately, like, would I rather just stay in Nashville and like, you know, play the Broadway gig or go all the way, but go all the way to a different state and drive hours and hours to go get
Speaker 1 00:27:40 Well going all the way to a different state. I mean, it's something, and Tyler can definitely touch on this too, you, if you market it right? Yeah. And you say like, Hey, I'm on the road. You're, you're already touring artists out of Nashville. Yeah. At that point. Even if it's the same gigs in Alabama or Georgia. I mean Tyler can tell you more about, about the Broadway experience and things like that. I mean, he know he's worked with a lot more. I've bounced and we're, we're, we're not just watching the music when I'm checking IDs and doing all, doing all that shit at the door. Yeah. But like, Broadway's a whole nother animal. I
Speaker 3 00:28:10 Don't think I'd ever do like the full band stuff there. Definitely wouldn't wanna get in the circuit cuz just, I don't think my voice could take that. Yeah. And I wouldn't wanna do that to my voice. I think like, you know, maybe some acoustic stuff here and there would be fun at least for tip wise and finally some extra cash. You know, money's kind of t with Corona <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:28:26 I feel that. So growing up in Alabama and I, you can tell it, I mean of course you see Trey's Swamp Monkey when you walk in the door, but you've got like a buck mounted. So you're an outdoorsy kind of girl, huh?
Speaker 3 00:28:37 Yeah. I think I'm the only one in the house that actually hunts. Really?
Speaker 1 00:28:40 You're in a, you you live with three other, three, three other people from Alabama who all happen to be dudes and you're the one out there killing shit. Yeah. That's mad respect. Thank
Speaker 3 00:28:47 You.
Speaker 1 00:28:48 Hell yeah. When, when did you start hunting and doing all that fun stuff? Cause I know nothing about that.
Speaker 3 00:28:53 Uh, I mean, my dad put me in a tree stand as soon as I could walk, pretty much. Like, I mean I had an orange dragon on the ground behind me, behind, you know, <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:29:01 Like
Speaker 3 00:29:02 I was young. I've always done it. My bro, I, I have two brothers. I have younger sister, but she's way younger than me. But growing up I had two brothers and neither of them really hunt. My dad tried to take both of them and they just never took to it and I was the only one. And he's a big hunter, so he just, he
Speaker 2 00:29:17 Like does take something special for somebody to like go to the outdoors and you know, like I've got family that the first week of hunting season they're taking off work. That's their vacation every year and they're spending in the woods. Yeah. You know, Thanksgiving, everybody comes to hunt Christmas.
Speaker 3 00:29:30 It's definitely can be an obsession in some And it's also like a, I feel like some form of meditation too. Yeah. Like not, I mean it is obviously not every time you're gonna go, you're gonna kill something. Especially in Alabama. <laugh>. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:29:41 Especially like, you know, being in the woods or even being on the water, you know, for me, like I don't care if I kill or catch anything. Like Yeah, great. If I knew, but like it's just unplugging for a hot minute. Yeah. And just kind of, if nothing else, being with your own thoughts and actually being able to like just slow down the world. Yeah. You know,
Speaker 3 00:30:00 And it's always been something like it's, it is just been something like me and my dad have always done, you know, I mean I always go with my dad. It's just, you know, I help him get hunting land ready. Usually I didn't this year, but cuz you know, never get to go home. But, um, uh, you know, it's just something that we've always done together and it's a cool connection and uh, lots of really cool stories I'll always have. So Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:30:19 Yeah. That's a world unfortunately I don't know anything about, but there's a lot of people and I think there's starting to be bets about it of who can get, um, the token Yankee, Matt Perilla, his first deer.
Speaker 3 00:30:29 It'd be super funny. You should come with me then I'll win. Alright.
Speaker 1 00:30:31 See Chad Bishops asked me, has wanted me to go out with him. Tyler Chambers. I mean, hey, Gary's tried to get me on squirrels.
Speaker 2 00:30:37 Biggest thing squirrels is load the gun for him. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:30:42 I
Speaker 3 00:30:43 So Clay, clay has never killed a deer before either. And, uh, believe
Speaker 2 00:30:47 It or not, I haven't either. Well,
Speaker 3 00:30:49 I was like, do you want me to sit with you? And he was just like, I've got it. And then my dad was like, you might need to say what the
Speaker 1 00:30:56 <laugh> my dad. Yeah. I would definitely need some instruction with
Speaker 3 00:30:59 It. Yeah. I mean, I mean, it's fine man. I've always handled rifles and stuff. I mean, I, I've been sitting by myself with the rifles.
Speaker 1 00:31:04 How old were you when you took your first deer?
Speaker 3 00:31:06 Nine. Damn.
Speaker 1 00:31:07 That's awesome. Yeah. Freaking nine years old and you're just out there. Was it a buck or was it a dough? It was a
Speaker 3 00:31:12 Dough. It was a dough, but, uh, I dropped it. I broke his back and I dropped it. So I was pretty proud of that. But, uh,
Speaker 1 00:31:17 What, what is it? What does it, so you dropped it like, so that means, so it
Speaker 3 00:31:20 Just fell like it didn't
Speaker 1 00:31:21 Run. Oh, you didn't have to chase it.
Speaker 3 00:31:22 Yeah. It was super nice. Yeah. And uh, it, yeah, I mean, I killed a dough, but it took me a minute to kill a buck. But I mean, then again, I live in Alabama so they don't come, <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:31:31 Don't
Speaker 3 00:31:32 Come as easy.
Speaker 1 00:31:32 Have you wanted to get out hunting in Tennessee?
Speaker 3 00:31:35 I mean, yeah, but I mean, uh, I mean really, unless I find a whole, like, you know, some people that wanna take me, uh, I, uh, side note on this, I feel like my dad's number one goal for me to do music other than like, you know, being able to do what I love to do is for me to somehow get on one of his hunting shows and, uh, take him hunting on one of those. That's like something he's always wanted me to do.
Speaker 1 00:31:54 Well we, we know some guys that have hunting shows, so we will, we will send we that would be badass.
Speaker 3 00:31:59 Oh, he, he just wants me. You crush it. You know the, they always have like an art. Sometimes they have an artist going there and they sing like the theme song for one episode or something. Like sometimes a little go. My dad's like, you thought you could do that? You know,
Speaker 1 00:32:10 <laugh> random question, but, uh, favorite TV show growing up? I know they're completely outta left field.
Speaker 3 00:32:17 Favorite TV show? Yeah, probably SpongeBob. SpongeBob as a kid. SpongeBob or like Drake and Josh or something like that.
Speaker 1 00:32:22 Drake and Josh was the shit such an I've seen random
Speaker 3 00:32:25 That in my jet list. Now. What,
Speaker 2 00:32:26 What's yours?
Speaker 1 00:32:27 Mine? Um, I liked Ed and Netti, which I think that explains all my ridiculous antics and stuff. Cartoon Network, like Ed and Netti Courage, the Cowardly Dog. Like, oh
Speaker 3 00:32:36 Dude, I love Courage. The Cowardly, no, nobody likes that show. They say it scared him, but I think that was the shit. I loved
Speaker 1 00:32:41 It. Yeah. See I
Speaker 2 00:32:42 Couldn't watch it.
Speaker 3 00:32:43 I love, that's what I'm saying. I loved it.
Speaker 2 00:32:44 I, I legit like would like, but my favorite show was Scooby-Doo and I would get scared. I love on that too though. <laugh> like Zombie Island. That stuff still can like, get you <laugh>.
Speaker 3 00:32:55 Maybe. That's probably get a long show. Maybe you have some like screwed up shit in our heads. Yeah,
Speaker 1 00:32:59 Probably like Cat Dog was another one though. Was like,
Speaker 3 00:33:01 I mean, but if you go back and watch those shows, like if, you know, you little under
Speaker 1 00:33:06 Ied,
Speaker 3 00:33:06 You go back and watch those shows, you're like, man, this is weird.
Speaker 2 00:33:09 Rocco's Modern Life.

Speaker 3 00:33:12 Baboon. Did y'all ever, do you remember that? No one seems to remember that. It baboon it came on right after Cat Dog. And
Speaker 1 00:33:18 I'm gonna look that up. I
Speaker 2 00:33:19 Probably remember it by probably.
Speaker 3 00:33:20 It was so weird. It was so weird. Did you watch that Mitch? Yeah. So weird.
Speaker 2 00:33:24 The one, the one that really creeped me out the most as a kid came Warner right after Barney. I was a young kid, very young Barney, but was Teletubbies dude.
Speaker 1 00:33:32 Dude, I, Tinky Winky was my shit. I love tele.
Speaker 2 00:33:37 Listen, tele Tubby freaked me out. My mom knew whenever Barney was ending that she had about 10 seconds to change the TV before Teletubbies appeared. And I went ballistic <laugh>. I hated those things. Those things creep me The Frick out.
Speaker 1 00:33:50 Oh, I am Weasel.
Speaker 3 00:33:51 Yeah. Yeah. Some of that
Speaker 1 00:33:53 I am Weasel. Yeah. 90. It
Speaker 3 00:33:54 Was weird. It was weird, man. Yeah,
Speaker 1 00:33:56 It was a Cartoon network. Cartoon Network had all kinds of interesting shit. Dexter, I loved it. Dexter was cool.
Speaker 2 00:34:01 Nor Cartoon Network's at right.
Speaker 1 00:34:04 Atlanta. Oh, it's in Atlanta. It's
Speaker 2 00:34:06 A Turner show. They, they, yeah, they used to channel, they used to have a cartoon network, part of the Atlanta Brave Stadium. And like as a kid you go through and like see like the Cartoon Network characters and all. That's cool.
Speaker 1 00:34:15 Yeah, that's
Speaker 3 00:34:16 Cool. That'd be so down. Me and Alex always have a competition on who knows more SpongeBob facts. And uh, the other night he was sitting there, uh, started singing SpongeBob when no one was listening. Uh, one of the songs that was on it. And then I sang like the first verse and he like looked at me and he was like, holy shit. <laugh>. Like, he was like,
Speaker 1 00:34:34 The SpongeBob video game was pretty good too. Oh yeah. I used to play on the video. I've
Speaker 3 00:34:38 Played a lot of video games as a kid. I was homeschooled for a little while. Okay. So I was so like,
Speaker 2 00:34:42 Did you see where, uh, max Fried on Game seven wore in like the, uh, SpongeBob in the stadium? No, that's
Speaker 1 00:34:48 All
Speaker 2 00:34:49 He had insert. It was like SpongeBob at the stadium. Oh,
Speaker 1 00:34:51 That's pretty cool though. What um, what video games were you playing? Were you a PlayStation?
Speaker 3 00:34:56 No, we, so we had the original Nintendo.
Speaker 1 00:34:59 Oh, so like the n e s or like the 64 or,
Speaker 3 00:35:02 Uh, Nintendo 64. Oh, so it's not the original but it's like the black one. Yeah. So, so we had the black one and we played, so I mean, we still have it. We got it out at Christmas time. All my, me and my brothers did and just sat down and played all the old games. It was really cool. But, um, yeah, we played Nintendo and then we had Game Boys, like the original Game Boys. Yeah, I think like the, the, not the original ones. Like the square ones. Yeah. That had like the little screens. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:35:24 The Game Boys Boys Tinys.
Speaker 3 00:35:26 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we went from that. I had a lime green one. That was my shit.
Speaker 1 00:35:29 Lime green. That's got, that's got some personality too. I don't remember them Lime green ones. You were Mar Mario car girl.
Speaker 3 00:35:36 Oh yeah. Mario.
Speaker 1 00:35:37 Yeah. Mario. I said Mario. Mario, Mario.
Speaker 3 00:35:39 I just wanna say it's not Mario
Speaker 1 00:35:41 Tyler. I was
Speaker 2 00:35:42 Gonna say, he says Mario in the game. Me, Mario.
Speaker 1 00:35:46 I went to high school with about 10 people that had that name. Every single one of 'em would say Mario, maybe it's cuz
Speaker 2 00:35:52 Every single one of them
Speaker 3 00:35:53 Mario's
Speaker 1 00:35:53 Brothers, maybe it's cuz they didn't wanna be like associated as like Mario and they didn't wanna be fucked with so much. Like, I knew some Marios. I knew some Luigi, but like, I mean,
Speaker 2 00:36:03 I'll say like, the guy that we uh, that cooked for us every Monday when I was in Connecticut was an Italian dude. And he was Mario and he has Mario's Pizzeria and he would freaking cook for us, like home cooked meals every time. And that was my first real introduction to like real Italian food. But yeah, up there like it was on Mario.
Speaker 3 00:36:22 My half my fam like my, uh, my dad's mom's whole side of the family's Italian. Yeah.

Speaker 1 00:37:44 Stoked for that. I'm stoked to see Clay with a mustache.
Speaker 3 00:37:47 Yeah. I mean he's also gonna have to wear like really tight white pants. So,
Speaker 2 00:37:50 You know, I think Matt should be Huh? If he saw the new Adam Sandler, the Uncut Gems
Speaker 3 00:37:55 The Halloween movie. You're not No,
Speaker 2 00:37:56 No. Not the Halloween movie. The one with like Kevin Garnet and all in it. Uhuh. He should be the guy. He should be like an Adam Sandler character. I
Speaker 1 00:38:02 Thought about, there were years where I wanted to dress up as like a Hasidic or like an Orthodox Jew. And I had friends that did it in high school and they got sent home and it was like, ho Orde.
Speaker 3 00:38:12 Oh wait, I won't send you home. It's all right. <laugh>. I know

Speaker 3 00:38:19 That's, I can do really, I'm really, really good at FX makeup. Like I have a weird talent for that. Like, like the blood and like, uh, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1 00:38:26 Trying to figure out what to do. So me and Maxwell, we were gonna do like og like Italian kinda like get the Adidas tracksuit like wife beater and the chain sounds
Speaker 3 00:38:36 Like something Alex would do.
Speaker 1 00:38:37 We, we were gonna do that, but we went to all the, the gems of Nashville to find cheap shit Uhhuh, the cheap places that would have Adidas tracksuits. We hit every fucking bargain hunt. We hit the Goodwill. Dude, do you know you should go? We hit Music City thrift and I couldn't find anything.

Speaker 2 00:39:41 <laugh>.
Speaker 3 00:39:42 I made any question, I made a very, uh, I made a point with Clay. I was like, you may never schedule, uh, a gig on Halloween unless it's like huge. You know?
Speaker 1 00:39:51 Is that like your favorite holiday?
Speaker 3 00:39:52 Yes. I, when he, the last two years we've been together, he had a gig on Halloween and it really pissed me off. Like, I don't care about New Years.
Speaker 1 00:39:59 You, you hear that Mitch? No, no. Clay Bark shows on Halloween.
Speaker 3 00:40:02 Yeah. Like he had to tell Mitch like put it in the calendar like no show. Yeah. Uh, yeah, he, he uh, he booked a gig on my birthday the first year we were together, which was like a huge, like wow. You know, but I was way more pissed about Halloween. Like I was way more mad. Now
Speaker 1 00:40:16 What is it about Halloween? Is it, is, is it the dressing up and the May candy? Yeah. What's what's your go-to? I don't know, candy? I
Speaker 3 00:40:24 Don't know. I have, I have a huge sweet tooth. Like Yes. More candy than the average
Speaker 1 00:40:28 Person. So, so if you're out there trick or treating as a kid through, through, um, through Alabama, you guys trick or treating Alabama, right? <laugh>? Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:40:35 Yeah. Well we used a, we used a trailer. We used a trailer. We put a trailer with hay in it. And then you put all the kids <laugh> behind,
Speaker 2 00:40:42 Go through the town and then you
Speaker 3 00:40:43 Just go through
Speaker 1 00:40:44 Because everything's so, so spaced out.
Speaker 3 00:40:46 Yeah. Like, so like, you can't, um, like I don't, I didn't live in a neighborhood, so it would take me like an hour to go through like four houses. <laugh>. Damn. So like, they would just take us to like my uncle's. What,
Speaker 1 00:40:55 What was the candy that you roll up and you see it in the bowl and you're like, oh man, it's about to go down. Like you're, you're stoked to see a certain candy. For me it was Butterfinger and then in my old age at 25, I've grown into heath bars. Something about that English
Speaker 3 00:41:08 Coffee mom. About heath bars. Uh, I didn't, I didn't really like chocolate as a kid and that was so weird.

Speaker 1 00:41:27 Tarts.
Speaker 3 00:41:28 Yeah, like anything like that. We'd always, um, me and all my siblings would sit down and like pour out all of our candy, organize all the candy to the exact same things and then trade whoever like,
Speaker 1 00:41:38 Uh, trading, trading on Halloween was a big thing. Yeah. I loved it. There's, it's the trading of Halloween candy's bigger than the trade deadline And like baseball or basketball or
Speaker 2 00:41:46 Football. Yeah. See I always had an advantage cause I hate touchy rolls.
Speaker 3 00:41:49 I hate to, who likes touchy rolls? I
Speaker 2 00:41:50 Don't know. But all my friends did and they hated like three Musketeers. I love with friends <laugh>, so we trade it all the time.

Speaker 3 00:45:45 No way. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:45:46 And I can say without a doubt that Piggly Wiggly meets, you're talking about Win Dixie are completely great. Really? Yeah. Like
Speaker 3 00:45:53 They're, I wouldn't say, I mean I, we've definitely gotten, I mean it's the closest grocery store to my house within like 20, 25 minutes. Like we definitely go there and if in a, you know, if we didn't have time to go during week, yeah.
Speaker 1 00:46:03 I want to go to a Piggly Wiggly at some point. I still haven't been in the name for me. Just, I I just want to be like, Hey, I'm in a Piggly Wiggly. Oh. So
Speaker 2 00:46:10 It's a great thing for us cuz we're so close to the floor line. You just cross over the floor line to get groceries and it's tax free.
Speaker 3 00:46:16 Oh yeah. Yeah. He's,
Speaker 2 00:46:17 I'm literally like 10 minutes from Florida. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:46:18 He's, he's in that south, that deep south Alabama that, that hurricane area. So talking about now, wrapping up with 2020, what have we got planned for the rest of this year? We got more music coming out. What's, what's going on in the world at Ella Langley? Uh,
Speaker 3 00:46:30 I was gonna put out more music, but I have decided, I think I'm just gonna keep writing and demoing and trying to figure out a little bit more of who I am as an artist. Y'all have time. I'm only 21 years old. Yeah, you're, I get in a huge rush sometimes.
Speaker 1 00:46:44 Yeah. You're, you're very young to be, yeah. To be getting into this and, and you're off to a pretty good start I would say. Or you're,
Speaker 3 00:46:51 Uh, you know, I just, I've always worked hard and, and, uh, I, I've really busted my tail doing this job since I started it. And sometimes I get in a rush and sometimes I'm like, I'm not doing what I need to be doing and then I'm actually doing exactly what I need to be doing. I'm, I'm up here making relationships and friendships and um, making a name for myself and playing rounds and writing songs, you know. And so, um, next year what I wanna do is just kind of rapid fire, put stuff out and Okay. Be super sure of like what kind of artist I wanna be cuz I, with so many different backgrounds it gets confusing sometimes. Yeah. You know, and it's like, I write, like I'll, I can write any type of music and uh, it flows outta me different every time. So I'm really kind of trying to narrow that down and just, yeah.
Speaker 1 00:47:29 Yeah. No, and now that you've been in town for a while, like you said, it's not really, it's been like almost a year and a half, but it doesn't feel like a year and a half because of 2020. So with all the craziness, but like, it takes a little while to figure out like who you're, who you're, who the best people are for you to write the songs with, you
Speaker 3 00:47:46 Know? Right. And too, like I kind of, the way I look at this job is if, you know, I'm not, I have time, I have so much time, like I said, and I'm not trying to build my career off of a foundation that's, you know, has cracked in it. I wanna have a very steady foundation and I want my career to last. So that's why I'm kind of taking my time and going about things the right way and taking a lot of people's advice that are older than me and they've been through this and have been in this town for a while and, you know, not trying to rush it. You know what I mean? I have, I don't wanna, you know, if I get in something that it's not right for me at the time, then it's not gonna be right for me, you know?
Speaker 1 00:48:18 Hell yeah. No, that's awesome. Well, are you, one last question. Are you big on Twitter?
Speaker 3 00:48:23 No.
Speaker 1 00:48:23 No. Okay. We, what we usually do, so Tyler's got a whole bunch of Twitter trolls and we like to roast people on drunk tweets, but mm-hmm. <affirmative>, if you don't have drunk tweets, I guess that's a good thing. So
Speaker 3 00:48:33 <laugh>, I try not try to keep my drunk tweets to myself.
Speaker 1 00:48:36 Yeah, yeah. No, that's, that's a good ruined again good thing. But um, but anyway. Where can people find you on, uh, the social medias and all that fun stuff?
Speaker 3 00:48:44 Just, uh, Ella Langley music pretty much everywhere.
Speaker 1 00:48:48 And, uh, what, um, so we always wrap this up too with our guest playing a song, what song you wanna play for us today.
Speaker 3 00:48:55 Let's do Miss You.
Speaker 1 00:48:56 Okay. What's the story behind that one? Uh,
Speaker 3 00:48:58 I wrote it with Joy Beth. Um, we started it at Losers pretty intoxicated. Um, <laugh>, uh, we wrote half of it on a napkin actually. Um, but the idea is, uh, kind of like forgot what it's like to miss you kind of being able to that person that's been stuck in your brain and has been keeping you from doing the things you wanna do and be the person you are. You know, you've forgot
Speaker 1 00:49:20 You played this the other night around the fire. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is one of my favorite freaking songs.
