[00:00:00] Speaker A: Foreign.
[00:00:12] Speaker B: Come on.
[00:00:15] Speaker A: This is Outside the Round with Matt Burrill, a rage rowdy podcast.
What's going on, guys? Welcome back to another episode of Outside the Round. Clean map, Real today, a very special guest. A girl that I haven't had in this studio. I had her at the old. The old Trey Lewis DM Monday studio, way back in throwback. Yeah. We got Taylor Austin. Die, homie. It's good to see you.
[00:00:37] Speaker C: It's been too long.
[00:00:38] Speaker A: Welcome back to town. I hear you've been out in the road playing shows.
[00:00:41] Speaker C: We have been busy. Booked and busy. But I wouldn't have it any other way, you know?
[00:00:46] Speaker A: Yeah. So what is the. Even the last week, like? Take me through all the different places that you've been.
[00:00:51] Speaker C: Gosh, we went to Pennsylvania and then Lexington, Kentucky.
Then back to Nashville. Caught a flight to Jacksonville.
[00:01:02] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:01:03] Speaker C: Played a show there for the canines, for warriors. They get service dogs to vets, which was super cool.
[00:01:08] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:01:09] Speaker C: I got to play my song Little Green Men, which is for the veterans.
[00:01:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:01:12] Speaker C: And then we flew back to Nashville. And I am feeling it, I'll tell you that.
[00:01:16] Speaker A: Well, thank you so much for coming out here and doing this. I love it because you're someone that we've gotten to watch from very early on, from going back to partying in Key west, and you were a fixture at our writers rounds for such a long time.
[00:01:30] Speaker C: I remember the birth of raised rowdy. Really?
[00:01:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:01:33] Speaker C: Nikki T. When he first moved here. I mean, yeah, back when, gosh, 2017 would have been.
[00:01:40] Speaker A: So Nick started it in 2017 and then he. I joked that it was like kind of like a colonization process where Derek and Johnny G moved down here first and Derek was kind of like the boots on the ground. Trey Bond, Connor was helping and Brandy and Heather, and you had the girls up in New England. And then Nick got down here full time.
Covid was the way he got down here because he was able to work remotely.
[00:02:02] Speaker C: I guess I had worked with him remotely before he moved down here.
[00:02:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Because you were one of the first artists that Nick was real. Nick and the guys and girls back then were really talking about, like pre covered.
[00:02:13] Speaker C: Gosh, can't believe that's been more than six years ago.
[00:02:16] Speaker A: Isn't it wild? Like, we're coming up. We're coming up on like the six year mark of when everything shut down. And a lot of people came out differently after that time and seeing where your career has gone even since the last time you were on this podcast, you know, and, man, for that being a huge Song. Congrats on kicking off the year with that and going to radio.
[00:02:39] Speaker C: Going to radio. I am. I don't even know what to think about it. I'm just learning everything, you know, it's like a whole new process for me. I just thought, you know, they put your song on the radio. They put your song on the radio. I didn't know, you know, there's a whole tour and everything involved with it. So I'm tickled to death. It's going to impact on March 30th.
[00:02:57] Speaker A: Yeah. Which is freaking awesome. Because you're someone that grew up in a small town. So radio means. It feels like when I've had guys and girls on here that grew up in a small town environment, the radio back in the day was really. That was the way that was all you had.
[00:03:12] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:03:13] Speaker A: You knew who Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood and Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan were because you heard them on the radio.
[00:03:19] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, it's. It's crazy because I was telling Jay that I remember the first time I ever heard Praying for Daylight Rascal Flats, their first song. I was in my mom's Oldsmobile in the parking lot of the Boonville Shopwise, and it was on the radio and it was the first time I heard it. And I fell in love with him instantly. And I kind of confessed that to Jay. Not to seem creepy, but I was like. Been a long time fan, buddy.
[00:03:41] Speaker A: Yeah. And now for a guy or a girl that's growing up in that small town environment, that's. That's sitting in a. In a parking lot with their. With their parents going shopping, they're gonna be hearing a song like, man for that.
[00:03:53] Speaker C: Yeah. And that's insane to think about that. I'm kind of in that place now where when I was young, I would have just. Oh, I would have fell over. I wouldn't have known what to think, you know, I'd like to think that I would have been pretty proud.
[00:04:05] Speaker A: Yeah. And there's gonna be a tour attached with this song too, huh?
[00:04:08] Speaker C: There is. Yeah.
[00:04:09] Speaker A: You're going all over the place.
[00:04:10] Speaker C: All over. It's called the Damn Good Day Tour and we kick it off in April and we're gonna be.
Gosh, I can't even name them all. Texas, Oklahoma, California, Colorado, Missouri, Michigan, Ohio. I mean, we're really going all over the place.
[00:04:25] Speaker A: All the dates are on the website you can find, but they follow you on social media. You'll be pushing everything there. But you're someone that's always loved playing shows and now to have a headlining tour, a song on the radio, getting to be as busy as you are, which I know in the moment, it's tough, you know, like, there's a lot going on, but I don't.
[00:04:45] Speaker C: I wouldn't have it any other way.
[00:04:46] Speaker A: You're someone who's dreamed of this for so freaking long, homie.
[00:04:50] Speaker C: Tell me about it. I mean, it's just live performance is everything to me. Like, don't get me wrong, I love the recording process and all the. All the radio stuff, but live performance is where it's at. It's just so high energy. And, you know, the first show that we played this year, we sold out, which has been like crazy to me.
I stage dived again, which I hadn't did in, like, two years.
[00:05:13] Speaker A: All right, where was this?
[00:05:14] Speaker C: I stage dived at the Burl at in Lexington.
[00:05:17] Speaker A: Okay. Legendary spot for anyone from Kentucky.
[00:05:20] Speaker C: It was huge crowd. Everybody was super into it. And actually, I kind of thought about it, but someone in the crowd was like, jump. And I was like, okay, let's get some strong men over here. I've been on a couple pounds since last time I did this.
So I did, and they. They caught me. I didn't eat shit. So that was great.
[00:05:38] Speaker A: There's not many country artists at stage dive.
That's like. That's some rock star shit there, you know? Yeah, like, that's wild. But honestly, you're the ult.
What you see is what you get. The songs that you're writing about are things that you've experienced or people close to you have experienced, going back to what you were putting out years ago. And, man, for that's on that list for sure. But you're someone that's. Hold my beer. Watch this. And you've always been that way since
[00:06:03] Speaker C: I met you, I think, in this tour name, Damn good day. That song came out, and everybody just fell in love with it. It went, like, viral four or five times over. And every time I'm out playing, they're like, play damn good day. I'm like, it's coming later.
[00:06:18] Speaker A: It's coming.
[00:06:19] Speaker C: So it's. It really fun to play songs like that that are just kind of rowdy and, you know, give people a chance to scream and holler and have a drink with me.
[00:06:27] Speaker A: Yeah. One of the things I really like about man for that is it has that lick to it where I'm like, this has to go so hard when you and the boys play it live,
[00:06:35] Speaker C: man, and we have a killer intro. I won't spoil it. For you. But we completely redid our whole show. Our whole show this year.
[00:06:41] Speaker A: Oh, I got to get to one.
[00:06:42] Speaker C: We have a whole new intro and we open the set with man for that.
So it's got a really cool intro and just getting up on stage and everybody's vibing and. Yeah. The boys jumping around, rocking out. My bass player does like twirls in there. He's throwing his bass.
I wish I had his energy, honestly.
[00:06:59] Speaker A: So it's a whole show now?
[00:07:01] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[00:07:02] Speaker A: Like it's progressed from. Because you've been playing live. When did you do your first show? It was years back. Right.
[00:07:08] Speaker C: I've only been playing full band a few years, but I mean, of course I've did acoustic stuff my whole life and I've been in bands that played at festivals back home in Kentucky. This is just a whole nother level of crazy getting to do this kind of show.
The lights and the tracks and, you know, the just loud, obnoxious energy, which I love.
[00:07:30] Speaker A: How long are the sets running right now?
[00:07:32] Speaker C: We're doing everything from 45s to 90s.
[00:07:35] Speaker A: So you run in whole 90s.
[00:07:37] Speaker C: The last three have been 90s. Yeah. Wow.
[00:07:39] Speaker A: Let's go.
[00:07:39] Speaker C: I'm definitely getting my workout in. I'm sweating.
[00:07:42] Speaker A: Yeah. As a. As a. As a country music super fan, because that's how Nick and I came up was going to concerts. Anytime an artist puts out a kick ass 90 minute set, that's just. That's got me grinning from ear to ear.
[00:07:53] Speaker C: And we hardly have. I mean, it's only down for like two songs and it's immediately back up. I even bring like someone on the stage to flabongo with me.
[00:08:03] Speaker A: Flabongo. What's a.
[00:08:05] Speaker C: So you know those pink flamingos in your yard?
[00:08:07] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:08:08] Speaker C: So they're actually beer bongs. So there's a hole in the belly of them and there's a hole in the beak.
And so I bring somebody up, we pour the beer in the belly and then drink out of its beak.
Great moment in the set.
[00:08:20] Speaker A: That is. That is perfect for the damn Good Day tour. Like that is a damn good day. When you can flabongo with Taylor.
[00:08:26] Speaker C: It's so much fun to pick somebody out of the crowd and they're just so pumped to get up there and do it.
[00:08:30] Speaker A: Oh, man. Yeah, the flabongo. I've never heard that term. Nikki T. Used to have. I don't know if you remember this. He had that eagle bomb.
[00:08:36] Speaker C: Oh, the freedom funnel. I remember the freedom funnel.
[00:08:39] Speaker A: She remembers the name and everything. The Freedom Funnel.
[00:08:42] Speaker C: Yeah. It was like the red, white and blue eagle.
[00:08:44] Speaker A: Yeah.
Used to travel everywhere back in the day and I think we lost it.
I'm trying to remember. I know it was present at a party. The last time I remember really seeing it was we did a house party back in the day at Trey and Ella's old house during company.
Yes. You remember those. Those chaotic nights. And I remember the night started out with the, with the Freedom funnel and I don't really remember seeing it after that. Cuz that was a crazy for the best. Yes. Yeah.
[00:09:11] Speaker C: Cuz honestly, like how many times did that thing get washed? You think?
[00:09:14] Speaker A: Oh, Nikki T. I don't know.
[00:09:17] Speaker C: Back then you think he would have worst it?
[00:09:19] Speaker A: I feel like he had to have watched it at least a few times.
I feel like at least a couple times now. Now when we were at like a festival, like a country con. Like, like we're at country concert up in Ohio and it's. And we're there for four days. Is it getting washed after a lot of use over. Is it getting washed in between days? Definitely not.
[00:09:38] Speaker C: You know, I'll never forget we were at this party at Nikki T's house and of course he had a keg and we were all just hanging out. This was during COVID I was at
[00:09:45] Speaker A: the old Joe Fortner house.
[00:09:46] Speaker C: Yes. And there was just dogs running around and I was just sitting here like hanging out in my chair. I think it was like a lawn chair in the living room.
[00:09:53] Speaker A: Oh yeah.
[00:09:54] Speaker C: And I looked down, there's like a dog drinking out of my beer. And I was like,
[00:10:01] Speaker A: yeah, those days were so much fun.
[00:10:03] Speaker C: God, we had a great time.
[00:10:04] Speaker A: We had a great time. And to think about how busy we all are now.
[00:10:10] Speaker C: Like you, we should throw one just for the. Just for the sake of the good old days.
[00:10:14] Speaker A: Honestly. Yeah, that would be back together. Yeah. Like I talk about playing kickball back in the day with the homies and now all those folks are on tour writing or got big cuts or playing and playing out with great acts. Like it's crazy looking at those times and seeing. I mean it's great to be busy but man, what I wouldn't give to go back for a couple day run of just, just a couple. No responsibilities, just phones on, do not disturb. I'm non existent to the world. I'm there with my homies. I got a cigar in this hand. I got, I got some. Some other smoke over here. The gang's hanging out, we're ripping cigs, you know like, definitely. Yeah. Like. Like, not a lot of responsibility. What's it like to be so busy now? Like, how do you manage and balance your life?
[00:11:02] Speaker C: And it's awesome. We, you know, we're at home. I'm. I'm writing every day. I'm in meetings. I'm doing stuff like this, which I absolutely love. But we do. Me and Ben, you know, we try to make at least one day a week to just, you know, go to trivia or go to the karaoke night at the local dive or, you know, something like that. We still try to balance it out, but when we're working, it's. It's pretty much work now. No play.
[00:11:24] Speaker A: Yeah. What. What categories of trivia are you really good in?
[00:11:28] Speaker C: Oh, I'm really good at the word unscrambles.
[00:11:30] Speaker A: The word unscrambles?
[00:11:32] Speaker C: Yeah. There are specific ones called nerdy talk, and they have this one where you have to unscramble these words and figure out what words goes with what. And they always just give the paper to me and say, go for it.
I love trivia. I'm such, like. I'm a geek when it comes to stuff like that.
[00:11:46] Speaker A: Yeah. Trivia nights are fun and karaoke nights are rowdy too, and there's quite a few of them in town that you can get to.
[00:11:51] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. The one by our house does karaoke three nights a week.
[00:11:55] Speaker A: Oh, wow.
[00:11:56] Speaker C: So we have quite a bit to pick from.
[00:11:58] Speaker A: Yeah, I've. We always. We've always mixed. The most karaoke that I've probably been involved with has been over at the Rusty Nail. Oh, yeah, the chaotic.
[00:12:06] Speaker C: Yeah, that's. That's not very far from me either. Yeah, we go there quite a bit.
[00:12:10] Speaker A: The Nail Karaoke with DJ Josh, the big dude that doubles as the bar back and the bouncer and the karaoke DJ production.
Yeah. Oh, yes, yes, yes. He really. He really, really is. But. But I think it's. It is important to have that downtime and make sure you're still having fun while all the crazy business is going on.
[00:12:30] Speaker C: You gotta let loose every now and then.
[00:12:31] Speaker A: Yeah, you really. You really do. So talk to me about what really inspired man for that and why that was the. The first song to really kickstart this huge year for you, so.
[00:12:42] Speaker C: Man, for that, I went into the writing room with Nick Wayne and Dan Agee, and I'd never written with either of them before, and I was just like. I don't know. I'm. I'm kind of feeling like a. Like a heavy vibe, but, like, I Was listening to a Shania Twain CD on the way there. I just got a little convertible car and it only plays CDs. So of course I pulled out all my old stock.
[00:13:04] Speaker A: That is so on brand for you.
[00:13:05] Speaker C: Yeah. So I was like, top down, listening to Shanah Twain the whole way down, and I was like, I want something heavy, like big drums, big guitar, like Nickelback. But I was also listening to this Shania Twain song on the way here. I was like, what do you think if we could make it, like a hybrid of those two?
[00:13:22] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:22] Speaker C: And Dan goes, okay, I think I know what you're saying.
Two seconds later, he's like.
I was like, hell, yeah, dude. That's exactly what I'm talking about.
And so I just had this idea called man for that. And I didn't really explore what that meant, but Nick was like, well, what if it's like, you don't need a man for that? And I was like, that's perfect. That's right on brand for me. So, you know, we wrote it. Probably didn't take us two hours to get, you know, stem to stern. And my team fell in love with it. They're like, this is, you know, this is really, like, kind of hard. This goes hard. So we played it around to a bunch of people, got some input, and everybody was like, yeah, this is definitely the one to start the year out with.
[00:14:01] Speaker A: Yeah. To me, that Nikki T. Kind of coined this term for me of bad country.
Like, you think about honored. Yeah, yeah. Like, and you fit into that mold. You have been in that mold since we met you, Taylor. Um, and that song, to me, is, if I wanted to introduce people to your music, that is one that I would put at the top of the list.
[00:14:22] Speaker C: You know, that's a good way to put it if you want to know what I'm about. That's a good song to listen to. Yeah, for sure.
[00:14:27] Speaker A: Yeah. And it really. And something else I noticed is you're on the production credit for that as well. Like, so you're pretty hands on when it comes to the recording process with Lex, I guess.
[00:14:36] Speaker C: Yeah. Me and Lex have produced my last two albums together as well, so.
And I plan to keep on doing that until, well, for the rest of my life, if I can.
[00:14:47] Speaker A: Now, what is it about what. What makes you want to be so hands on? Because there's a lot of guys and girls that prefer to kind of let the producer do their thing and don't look at it as much of a collaborative effort.
[00:14:58] Speaker C: I'd like to say it's not because I'm a control freak, but I think that's probably got a lot to do with it. But I just know who I am and I always want to be like, true to my sound and my roots, you know, back in eastern Kentucky. Like, I always want to have a little bit piece of that, you know, so if you've got someone from California producing you, I feel like you, you lose that or for Lexus case, he's from Texas, so we get along pretty well. But yeah, you know, you don't want to lose that authenticity. So I really always want to have a hand in it.
[00:15:24] Speaker A: Yeah. And you've got a record deal now. Like, life has changed so much since the last time you were on here. What's it like having that team of champions? I mean, a guy like Lex has been with you for a long time, but you've got this great over at Red Street.
What's that been like for you to have having been independent for so long,
[00:15:43] Speaker C: it has been insane. And of course, you know, we took all the meetings and, you know, met with so many people. But when I met with Red street and Jay and Alex and everyone there, I was just like, man, these people really care about me and like, really want to be all hands on deck and really do this thing. So I was the first female artist they signed over there on their countryside of the label. So that was a big deal too, that they were like so invested in me and they said they were waiting for the right girl to come along. And I'm really, I'm just tickled to death to be over there.
[00:16:12] Speaker A: Yeah. What were the big things that you looked for?
[00:16:16] Speaker C: They're kind of like a growing up, going back to the small town thing. It's like, it's really tight knit. Like, I can walk into the office, I can walk into Brooklyn's office or Sally and Andy. Like, I can go over there, talk to Patrick any day of the week. I can just bust in there, sit down, chat about life, talk about music, whatever. Like, it's just such a tight knit little family and you can text them and they're right back with you. And that's definitely something that I've always looked for.
[00:16:43] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. You want to have a family. Like, you look at it as you're bringing on a partner, your business and you want a partner that's one. One gives a damn to see something that's going to champion you. And three has the time for it, you know, and it seems like things like the Rocket, they've just Been dumping gasoline onto the fire that you've been burning for years.
[00:17:05] Speaker C: Man. It's definitely good to have that extra push, you know, because when you're independent, you can do a lot of great things, but you can only do so much. And so this is why I'm so excited for this radio tour. I mean, I just. I don't know a lot about it, but I'm really excited. I know I'm in great hands to learn about it and figure it all out and navigate it and, you know, I hope this is the first of many radio tours I get to do.
[00:17:27] Speaker A: Yeah. How many. How many states have you been to in your life off the top of your head? Like a relative number?
[00:17:32] Speaker C: I have never been to Alaska, and I don't think I've been to Vermont or Rhode Island.
[00:17:37] Speaker A: Okay, but you've been to all the others.
[00:17:39] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:17:39] Speaker A: Holy.
You've been to Hawaii?
[00:17:42] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:17:42] Speaker A: Damn.
I think I thought I had a lot of states. I think I'm at like 42 and you're at freaking 48.
[00:17:49] Speaker C: It's. Yeah.
[00:17:50] Speaker A: That's crazy because I was gonna see if they're traveling. I was gonna see if there's a place you haven't. You haven't been to yet that you're gonna get to go to with radio tour. And I mean, I'm sure some of it's been like travel and not work. But that's the fun part about this is you get to work while you travel or travel while you work.
[00:18:07] Speaker C: If you look at it, see a lot of loves. Gas stations.
[00:18:10] Speaker A: Yeah, we talked a lot about that last time. You are a sucker. You're a big loves girl.
[00:18:14] Speaker C: I am, I am. You know, of course, Buc ee's is always great.
The flying vajays, as we call them.
[00:18:21] Speaker A: Flying vajays.
[00:18:24] Speaker C: But yeah, I'm a. I'm not a huge road snack person, but like, just something about going in there and stretching your legs and looking at the trinkets.
[00:18:33] Speaker A: Yes. Yeah.
[00:18:34] Speaker C: Just getting A very simple person.
[00:18:36] Speaker A: Just getting. Getting out of the van for a little while is huge.
But I mean, you're gonna get to go to all these big markets and get to spend time with folks in New York and Philly and Boston and Chicago and like all these different places.
[00:18:53] Speaker C: They're gonna have a time with me. Yeah, Just take a translator with me.
[00:18:57] Speaker A: I think they're gonna love it, man. I really do.
[00:19:01] Speaker C: Fingers crossed.
[00:19:02] Speaker A: No, they will, they will, honestly. And I can't wait for you to have. You spent a lot of time in those major cities. Like, have you gotten to kind of frolic around in a New York or a Chicago before?
[00:19:12] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I used to travel all the time before. Like, you know, I was really touring full time. Like I, I would just take up. One time I went to Germany when I was 17 years old, just like.
[00:19:23] Speaker A: Oh, so you travel all right.
[00:19:25] Speaker C: Yeah, I don't get to as much as I used to. I really, I do miss it. But you know, this is obviously what I want to do, so. Yeah, I'll take them with the bad.
[00:19:34] Speaker A: That's awesome. Talk about having that, that grit to you and how much eastern Kentucky kind of influenced who you are.
[00:19:43] Speaker C: Well, I grew up, my nana and Papaw had a 300 acre tobacco farm. So I grew up working in backer and we had watermelon, green beans, taters, maters like we canned. I mean it was a family hands on thing. So I always tell people I'm not scared of hard work, you know, I can do anything, but it's not going out and stripping backers. So I'm tickled to death to pee doing anything but that. You know what I mean?
So I was always really hands on with the farm and stuff. And I think that instilled in me when I was really young, that work ethic.
[00:20:17] Speaker A: Yeah. We got to talk about your hat.
[00:20:19] Speaker C: Sure.
[00:20:20] Speaker A: Daddy needs a cigarette. Where did you acquire that incredible hat?
[00:20:24] Speaker C: You know those Instagram ads, man, they get me.
[00:20:28] Speaker A: So you're one of those people that just buys shit on Instagram and they know what ads to Fiji.
[00:20:34] Speaker C: My CIA agent knows me too well. And it's like, oh, that looks. Let me look at the brand. Don't look at my hat hair.
Pitbull.
[00:20:44] Speaker A: Pitbull. Mr. 305.
[00:20:47] Speaker C: Freddy Tyler Paul. I don't know what that means. This is probably from TEU or something, but actually no, it feels like it's good quality.
[00:20:54] Speaker A: Yeah, no, it look. It looks great on you, sis.
[00:20:56] Speaker C: Yeah, I've really stopped vaping.
[00:21:00] Speaker A: You're reformed?
[00:21:02] Speaker C: Really?
[00:21:03] Speaker A: Quitting the vape, That's a big deal.
It's a huge deal.
[00:21:06] Speaker C: A couple weeks now.
[00:21:08] Speaker A: So we used to bum. We used to bum vape hits off each other back in the day.
[00:21:12] Speaker B: Oh man.
[00:21:12] Speaker C: And sometimes when I come off stage I'm like, please take me to. I need to go to a loves and get a lighter and a pack of Marlboros, please. Yeah, just one.
[00:21:21] Speaker A: What vape were you. Were you doing like the elf, like the geek bars or the elf bars or whatever the they're called? Or were you doing like Those Views Altos.
[00:21:28] Speaker C: No, I was doing like the.
Anything really. Raz would be the specific one that I would get most of the time.
[00:21:35] Speaker A: I was. I used to call the. The Views Alto. I used to call it my. My truck Sig, because I would. I would try. I had an old. I had my car before the truck that I have now. I used to rip cigarettes in and
[00:21:46] Speaker C: it just smelled bad.
[00:21:47] Speaker A: Donk.
[00:21:48] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:21:48] Speaker A: So I was like, all right, I gotta fix this. Oh, I can get a vape and I can just vape what I don't want.
[00:21:53] Speaker C: Yeah, that's kind of how mine started as well. But I. I've honestly been around, like I said, tobacco my whole life. So, like, when I was young, everybody was just like smoking, chewing, whatever. I remember being in high school and at the gas station, they would have these big, long cigarette looking things that were like old school. I guess they were vapes. And they would have like a little light on the end and when you would take a drag, it would light up.
[00:22:13] Speaker A: Oh, the little.
[00:22:14] Speaker C: They look like little cigars or something.
[00:22:15] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:16] Speaker C: Remember those?
[00:22:16] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, they were like E cigs. That was the old name for. It was the easy. The little blue E cig.
[00:22:23] Speaker C: This was before the jewelry.
[00:22:24] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:25] Speaker C: So.
[00:22:26] Speaker A: Yeah. Going way back.
[00:22:27] Speaker C: Yeah. So I just. I've always been around it, but I'm. I'm reformed. I'm a new man.
[00:22:31] Speaker A: Reformed.
[00:22:33] Speaker C: There you go. There's a rumor to get started, man, for that.
I'm a change man.
[00:22:41] Speaker A: Talk about the. The changes that you've kind of had to make, though, with how busy you are, because you have to. You have to kind of really lock in.
[00:22:49] Speaker C: Yeah, it's been. It's been different, man.
Drinking way less, smoking less, you know, trying to get in the gym and really make my body, like more, you know, almost like it's an athlete.
[00:23:01] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:23:02] Speaker C: Because, you know, you're up on stage grinding for 90 minutes, jumping around and using your lungs and your diaphragm and all these parts of you. So it's. It's been good. It's been a. It's been a good change for me, though.
[00:23:13] Speaker A: Yeah, No, I. I hear a lot of people say that, you know, the. Where it's. You. Like, I look at. I look at Trey, Trey Lewis.
[00:23:21] Speaker C: Trey did great.
[00:23:22] Speaker A: He has completely 180. He's a workout gym bro now, you know, and it's. You have to like, because your body does get beat up, especially with as many tour dates as you've done and as many that are coming at you this year.
[00:23:36] Speaker C: And rest is a huge thing. Yeah, gotta get rest. I've just been used to like getting a couple hours of sleep and calling it a day, but now I'm like taking that trazodone at night, you know, getting in bed at like 11 o'. Clock. So it's, it's been a huge adjustment, but it's, it's all for the best.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: Yeah, no, it definitely is. You gotta keep your, you gotta keep yourself in, in good form, you know, in fighting shape to learn that the hard way.
[00:24:00] Speaker C: For sure.
[00:24:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:01] Speaker A: Because then it's like you'll do that the Thursday or on a good week, you'll do that Wednesday, Thursday, Friday run. And then by the Saturday show you're like, damn, I only got so much in the tank.
[00:24:12] Speaker C: Yeah, but if you're taking better care
[00:24:16] Speaker A: of yourself, you have that, you wanna, you wanna give every guy and girl that show.
[00:24:20] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[00:24:21] Speaker A: You know, I feel like the Taylor Austin Dye fan is, is an obsessive one too. Like, I feel like the best fans. I feel like you have a. You have had a cult following through a lot of the social media stuff and now it's just continuing to grow. Talk about how you've seen growth in that side of it.
[00:24:36] Speaker C: So back when I started Tick Tock during COVID I had, you know, these fans that were just like getting on. I would do lives like twice a week and they would get on and say for the whole thing and we'd chat and talk and there's so many like inside jokes from back then, you know, and those people still come out to the shows today. And it's great because when you go to a show, like, say you're going by yourself to one of my shows, the Ride or Dies will post like, hey, if you're coming to this show, like, I have a group, it's called the Rider Dies, and they'll post like, who's coming? Like, this person be like, I don't have anyone to come with. Can I, you know, meet up with you and your friends? And so now this whole big family of Ride or Dies have, has just formed. And now I can look out in the crowd and I just see the expansion. Like every show like there's more and more and so that they, they really are great to each other, great to me. I just, I can't say enough about them.
[00:25:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Is there one song that, that really gets them going where you're like, this. Is it like, is it like the older catalog stuff where you can tell the people have been there for so
[00:25:39] Speaker C: Long crazy because I do throw in. And you might remember this song called Good Time Girl that I put out back in 20 or 21.
I throw in that one because if I take it out they get like irate really. So like every time I play a show, I have to do Good Time Girl because they love it. But even that to say, like, I've only been doing the new set with like four new songs in it for four shows now and they already know the words to them unreleased, not even teased on the Internet. So they just record it and then learn it from their phone. So that's been really cool to see.
Just kind of the, the gauge on whether they like the new stuff or not. And they're, they're loving it.
[00:26:19] Speaker A: That's awesome. Yeah, I can just picture a group of, of Ride or Dies hitting that. If, if the show is in a club that's like on a strip and there's a little bar that's right now Wal. They're hitting that happy hour before the show and then they are there after the show and they are getting it on.
[00:26:34] Speaker C: We had people kicked out before I even took the stage last week.
[00:26:38] Speaker A: Oh no. What? What happened?
Okay.
[00:26:41] Speaker C: Yeah, Rider dies being Rider dies being riders.
[00:26:46] Speaker A: Have you figured out like where your top markets are? Like where the largest cluster of ride or dies is outside of Kentucky? Because I'm sure Kentucky is.
[00:26:54] Speaker C: Yeah, Kentucky great. Ohio has been great.
Tennessee was where we had our first sold out show in Maryville, which is kind of like.
[00:27:03] Speaker A: Oh, is that at the Shed?
[00:27:04] Speaker C: At the Shed.
[00:27:05] Speaker A: What a spot. That place.
[00:27:06] Speaker C: You know, it's like not really close. It's kind of out in the middle, so people kind of have to drive to get there. So when they told me it was sold out, I was like, what do you mean? That's crazy. But yeah, I mean, it's just like we're expanding. Every time we go to a new market, we start seeing more and more people show up, which is. That's, you know, that's the goal.
[00:27:24] Speaker A: Yeah, that's awesome. Just watching the bubble, I remember Corey Smith explaining it to where and Brantley Gilbert, like the Georgia guys kind of had this figured out where. It's like they'd start out in the one in the one town and then they just grow the circle. Like start out in Athens, Georgia and then just keep growing that circle till it touched Atlanta and then Macon. And it seems like that because Maryville's eastern east Tennessee. Yeah, they're an east Kentucky girl. So those east Kentucky folks are driving
[00:27:48] Speaker C: Bubbles are About to meet.
[00:27:49] Speaker A: Yes, they are. Which is awesome. Also, what are you most excited about for this year? Because it seems like 2026 is going to be your year.
[00:27:57] Speaker C: Well, obviously I'm excited for man for that to impact radio March 30th and I think that's going to be a crazy ride. Just kind of watching to see what that does. And then getting to tour all around this year with a damn good day tour. We're going to states that I've never played in. So that's definitely a bucket list thing for me. My, my overall bucket list is to play all 50 states, you know.
So I think that we're gonna check a bunch of those off this year too.
[00:28:21] Speaker A: That's awesome. That's cool. And then what are we looking at as far as new music going further on? I'd imagine we're due for a record.
We're due for. I know you and Lex can't sit still for that long.
[00:28:32] Speaker C: We may or may not have a bunch of it recorded already. Okay, so we, like I said, we've been playing four brand new songs in the set unreleased, not even teased on social. So at least know there's four in the can coming at you very soon
[00:28:47] Speaker A: and similar vibe to man for that. Are we keeping it more up or do you have some. Some more like ballady in your feels kind of stuff mixed in?
[00:28:55] Speaker C: There is one that's kind of ballady. The other ones are kind of pretty heavy rocking country, which is. You know what I love?
[00:29:01] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:29:02] Speaker C: So we got some stuff in the can. Dude. I'm pumped for it.
[00:29:06] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm. I love that you're doing that. You're fully leaning in on that. I'm a country girl, grew up on a backer farm, all that stuff. But that you love your rock and roll too.
[00:29:16] Speaker C: Oh man.
[00:29:16] Speaker A: And I love that you're getting to really dive further, further into that.
[00:29:21] Speaker C: Yeah, it's like a lane that, you know, I'm still.
I'll never not be country, you know. Listen to me. I could. I couldn't escape it if I wanted to.
[00:29:29] Speaker A: Never.
[00:29:29] Speaker C: But it's. It's fun exploring that lane that not a lot of people I feel like are in right now. So I'm running with it.
[00:29:35] Speaker A: What do you think it is about small town folks loving rock and roll too? Because I think there's a big there. There's a lot of like. Like at your. At your high school where you gr. Probably graduated with like five other people. Way tiny school. I'm sure like as many people that Loved country music. You of course had that one guy that was the Soundcloud rapper and then.
[00:29:55] Speaker C: No, actually we didn't.
[00:29:56] Speaker A: You didn't, you didn't? Wow. Okay. Cuz I always think of that like the. There's that. There's like the. Like. I think of JRock from Trailer Park Boys kind of stuff. You know, you didn't have that. Okay. But I think of like there. People like country music, but there's also a lot of rock and kids.
[00:30:11] Speaker C: Well, I mean even to think about, like me, I was. I listened to nothing but Panic at the Disco, Fallout Boy, Paramore, Fly Leaf, like all these emo bands really. When I was in high school, like that was what I listened to mainly, you know, when the radio was on out here. Country. And I always kept up with country. But like if I was listening to my ipod, my ipod touch.
[00:30:33] Speaker A: Ipod touch.
[00:30:34] Speaker C: Oh, I was hitting the Paramore heavy.
[00:30:37] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:30:38] Speaker C: So you know, there was all kinds of. All kinds of kinds. But yeah, I mean growing up in eastern Kentucky, I always say that we're 10 years behind the rest of the world. So that 90s rock was just about surfacing when I was in. In high school. So we listened to a lot of that too, which is crazy to think about.
[00:30:55] Speaker A: Yeah, the Nickelbacks, the Limp Bizkits, the Butt rock stuff as we at raised to call it.
The Creed.
[00:31:02] Speaker C: The.
[00:31:03] Speaker A: The. A little mixed. A little crossfade in there. A little hinder.
[00:31:07] Speaker C: I saw you at the Creek concert.
[00:31:09] Speaker A: Oh yeah.
[00:31:09] Speaker C: Did I not?
[00:31:10] Speaker A: Yeah, I was. I. That was. Yeah. At. At a send at a sin.

[00:31:29] Speaker C: I saw Nickelback for my birthday three years ago.
[00:31:33] Speaker A: Was that the one?
Was that the one at Bridgestone?
[00:31:36] Speaker C: Oh yeah.
[00:31:37] Speaker A: I was gonna say we were at that one time.
[00:31:38] Speaker C: I was in the pit down there on this.
[00:31:40] Speaker A: We were I think four rows from the tippy tippy top dead. We were dead center though, so you could see everything like. But it was just. We were way up in the nosebleeds, but it was freaking.
[00:31:50] Speaker C: That's what I've asked for for my birthday for the last couple years was Creed and Nickelback, if that tells you anything about me.

[00:32:45] Speaker A: Yeah, I hear the in and out there is tough.
[00:32:47] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:32:48] Speaker A: But maybe we'll not gonna stop me though. No, I mean honestly, we might have to look. We're gonna have to look up when that show is and have a. Have a Butt Rock reunion on the. On the. On the wall. Okay.

[00:35:06] Speaker A: That's good though. That's. That's good.
Where are some of your favorite spots to hang out in town these days? Because I don't see as much at the losers or the red doors as I used to.
[00:35:16] Speaker C: Yeah, well, we don't really get out a ton just cuz we're so busy. But when we do go out, we hang out at Roadside. That's where we go to trivia at.
[00:35:23] Speaker A: Oh, you do trivia right here at Roadside?
[00:35:25] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:35:25] Speaker A: Yeah, they got some of the best chicken wings.
[00:35:28] Speaker C: Their wings.
[00:35:29] Speaker A: Their wings. That Alabama white sauce is unbelievable.
[00:35:31] Speaker C: I promise you that's the best wings from anywhere around here.
[00:35:35] Speaker A: Yeah. And that diner across the street at Flat Tire.
[00:35:38] Speaker C: I filmed a music video there.
[00:35:39] Speaker A: You filmed the music video at the Flat Tire diner?
[00:35:41] Speaker C: Poison in the well.
Yeah.
[00:35:43] Speaker A: I didn't know that.
[00:35:44] Speaker C: They were so nice. They just let me use it and they're so sweet. They sent me flowers when my song came out. It was so nice. But yeah, there. And then we got a Rusty Nail occasionally. And there's a bar outside my house. I won't say the name of it because that's really close to my house.
[00:36:00] Speaker A: Yeah, no, we don't need that. We don't need that.
[00:36:02] Speaker C: But yeah, we. We love to just kind of be bop around this area.
[00:36:06] Speaker A: Yeah, Roadside makes sense too, because that's where a lot of the. The bikers hang out, right?
[00:36:11] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, that's my favorites.
[00:36:12] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, I remember I saw you know Shelby Ray. Oh, yeah, she used to play.
[00:36:17] Speaker C: Oh, she's great.
[00:36:17] Speaker A: She used to play in acoustic. She used to do a acoustic.
[00:36:20] Speaker C: I've seen her play there before.
[00:36:21] Speaker A: Oh yeah. Okay. So you're a Roadside girl then? Yeah. Okay. All right. That's awesome.
[00:36:26] Speaker C: We've lived up here for almost four years now, so we're kind of hip to all the places around here.
[00:36:32] Speaker A: How long have you been in town now?
[00:36:34] Speaker C: I started playing in town in 2017, but I moved here at the beginning of 2018.
[00:36:39] Speaker A: So we're right around the same time then because I was.
[00:36:42] Speaker C: October, eight years.
[00:36:43] Speaker A: Yeah, it's coming up on eight years now. Gosh, it's wild.
[00:36:48] Speaker C: Ten year town.
[00:36:49] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, I'm October. October of this year will be eight years for me. So we got here right around the same time when Broadway was really downtown was Whiskey Row and FGL House Albans hadn't even opened yet.
[00:37:01] Speaker C: That's what I was doing full time was playing down there.
[00:37:04] Speaker A: You were grinding down there?
[00:37:05] Speaker C: Yes, I was.
[00:37:06] Speaker A: How crazy is it looking back on doing all that stuff, really paying your dues and now getting to go on a headlining tour, a song on the radio.
[00:37:15] Speaker C: I mean, I look back on it, like, fondly, honestly, because like, you know, I'd played on stage for years growing up, but I'd never really learned how to work an audience. And, you know, know drunk people are the best people to practice on, so. And you know, if you don't get tips, you're not going to pay your rent that month. So I had to really learn how to banner with the crowd and kind of keep everything interesting. And I feel like that is like an invaluable skill that I learned from being down there.
[00:37:39] Speaker A: Yeah, it's Honky Tonk University.
Legitimately. I know there is a Honky Tonk you out there. But like, it is a legitimate. Like there's so many. So many guys and girls that come up playing downtown and you learn how to win over a crowd singing other people's songs to. When you have an audience that's there to hear your music.
[00:37:56] Speaker C: Right.
[00:37:57] Speaker A: It's almost like an easier feel like you have all those reps. Oh, man.
[00:38:01] Speaker C: I shed a tear this past weekend because I was singing Almost Oklahoma and I could hear the crowd singing over my earpieces and I was like, okay, I'm gonna Cry. I'm gonna cry. I'm not a crier at all.
So I was like, okay, get it together. But it was a really cool moment just to hear them singing the songs that you wrote from your heart, you know, back to you is a totally different feeling than singing a cover song.
[00:38:25] Speaker A: Yeah. And it's. It means that you're what you were feeling in that moment when you wrote that song is resonating with that translate 100%. Yeah. What are some of the best, like, post show, Like, I'm sure you're a merch table. Go, go hang out. You hang out with your rider.
[00:38:41] Speaker C: Everybody that's in line.
[00:38:43] Speaker A: Yeah. I talk to what have been some of the most, like, impactful messages that you've gotten from fans, whether it be something online or it be right after a show or if you have the ride or dies that are. That are trying, that you run into in whatever town you're in before the show.
[00:38:58] Speaker C: Like, man, I've had some crazy things. I mean, I had this one girl that was just crying when she came up to meet me, and she was like, you know, she's been in a domestic situation. And when I released Rest in Peace, it was like, really her.
What would be the word? It was her, like, wake up calls to get out of that situation. And she did. And so I've had several stories like that. And then when I put out Pharmacy and Sick of Me on that second album, I had a girl tell me that, you know, she was thinking about ending her life, and she said that my music pulled her through. So it's stuff like that, man, that keeps you going.
[00:39:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
Yeah. You kept someone from taking their own life. Like, your music was a part of that. It's insane.
[00:39:38] Speaker C: Yeah, it's. It's. It's hard to wrap my mind around, but that's why I keep doing it, you know?
[00:39:43] Speaker A: Yeah. Shout out to the ride or dies out there.
[00:39:45] Speaker C: Big shout to the rider Dies.
[00:39:47] Speaker A: Is there, like a group on Facebook or something that I can join these people?
