But I'll answer it just about anything. 39 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 3: But yeah, my full name's Emily Anne Roberts. 40 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 2: Okay, so I'll call you Emily Anne Roberts and if 41 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 2: I just say Emily An, then it's okay. 42 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 3: Yes. 43 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: So I have actually seen you before. I saw you 44 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: last year at the listening room cafe. I went to 45 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: see Charlie Reynolds because I had her on this podcast 46 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 2: last year. 47 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 3: Wow, and you. 48 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: Were there performing as well. There was somebody else as well. 49 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: I can't remember who it was. It was like October 50 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: of last year. So it's been a little while, okay, 51 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: but I saw you on stage as well, and I 52 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: was like, she's amazing too. So, I mean everyone at 53 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 2: listening room is obviously really good, but you stood out 54 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 2: and Charlie and everybody was great. And I even went 55 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: and I found your instagram found some of your music, 56 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 2: and I was like, she's really really good. 57 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 3: Oh how cool? That's so sweet? 58 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 2: Right, And I'm like, she's for sure signs I probably 59 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: can't have her on the podcast. And I did some 60 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: homework and I just made assumptions, which is something you should, 61 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 2: I guess never really do, right, And then did some 62 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: homework on you. And you've already accomplished so much as 63 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: you played at the Grand Old Oprary sixteen times. Yes, 64 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: you were a finalist on The Voice season nine, I believe, Yes, 65 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 2: so somebody that accomplished as yourself. And I don't mean 66 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: this in like a this could be a personal choice, 67 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: But how are you on an unsigned independent podcast? If 68 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 2: that makes sense? 69 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 3: Oh? How am I? That's a good question. I've been 70 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: working hard. I've been able to do a whole lot, 71 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 3: and I guess that the timing just hasn't been right 72 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: for me to UH signed on with UH or anything 73 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: like that. But yeah, I I guess I have accomplished 74 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 3: quite a bit when you put it all that way. 75 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 3: And I'm really thankful. The Voice was a killer opportunity. 76 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 3: And before that, I was just singing at a little 77 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 3: Mexican restaurant in East Tennessee, and that's all that I 78 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 3: knew about country music, singing at church and playing my 79 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 3: little gig at El Charro. So the Voice really opened 80 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: up so many doors and brought me to Nashville. And 81 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 3: I've just been trying to do my very best and 82 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 3: work as hard as I can and walk through the 83 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 3: doors at the Lord Open. So it's been a journey 84 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 3: for sure. I've been here for eight years now. Wow. 85 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: And what got you to go on the Voice? 86 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: Well, that was never a part of my plan. I had, 87 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 3: you know, friends and family that had said, you've got 88 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: an audition for American Idol, you got audition for the Voice. 89 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: And it was never anything that I really wanted to pursue. 90 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 3: And it just fell in my lap. My dad actually 91 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 3: recorded little videos of me singing around town or you know, 92 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 3: in the living we're on the front porch, and he'd 93 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: post him to YouTube and we never thought anything about it. 94 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 3: I wasn't trying to be a YouTuber. I probably had 95 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 3: twenty subscribers. 96 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: Maybe was this before TikTok This. 97 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 3: Was before this was like two thousand and ten to 98 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 3: twenty fifteen range, and so we were not trying to 99 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: be whoopedy doo with it. But he would just post them, 100 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 3: and I guess a casting producer from the Voice somehow 101 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 3: found one of my videos. They emailed the account and 102 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 3: my parents called me downstairs one night and said, you've 103 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: been invited to audition for the Voice. Do you want 104 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 3: to do it? 105 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: Wow? 106 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 3: And I was like, well, I guess what do I 107 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 3: have to lose? So we loaded up in the car 108 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 3: and went down to Atlanta and I auditioned for the Voice, 109 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 3: and then one thing led to another and I was 110 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 3: able to get on the show. I was on Team 111 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: Blake and I ended up finishing in second place on 112 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 3: the show there in twenty fifteen. 113 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: Did it ever hit you while you were doing it, 114 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: even especially as a semi or as a finalist sitting 115 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 2: there like, holy crowd, this is really happening? Or did 116 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: it take some time after I hasn't even hit you 117 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: yet eight years later. 118 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 3: Yeah. Sometimes I look back at those videos and I'm like, 119 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 3: who is that little girl? Like? Is that really me? 120 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 3: Was that really my life? No? It did not hit 121 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 3: me when I was on the show. You know, I 122 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 3: think people don't realize all that goes in to filming 123 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 3: those shows. I know I didn't at home. It just 124 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 3: looks like you wander up off the street with your 125 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 3: guitar and your family and you're gonna sing and you 126 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 3: know it just it doesn't seem like there's been a 127 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 3: whole lot of time or effort. They pull it off 128 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 3: in a way that it just seems real real, But 129 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: there's a lot of work and time that goes into it. 130 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 3: My first audition was in April, and then we weren't 131 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: done with the show until mid December, so it took 132 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 3: almost my whole year of twenty fifteen to be out 133 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 3: there doing that. But another thing is you never really 134 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 3: watch yourself on TV. So especially in the live rounds. 135 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 3: You do the live show and then they take you 136 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 3: for interviews and all of the stuff that you got 137 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 3: to do afterwards, and you never like go back to 138 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: the hotel in time to catch the show. And so 139 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,119 Speaker 3: it wasn't until I got home and people like knew 140 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 3: me that I realized, oh my gosh, I've been on 141 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 3: National TV, Like I've been in people's living rooms. That 142 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 3: did not sink in until I got off the airplane 143 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 3: and there was like our little airport in East Tennessee 144 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 3: was filled with a bunch of strangers holding signs like 145 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 3: we love you, And I was like, what so anyways, 146 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 3: that that's what really made it sink in that it 147 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 3: really happened, and I was on TV and people watched. 148 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 2: Did you have any expectations when that all got finished, 149 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 2: wrapped up? 150 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 3: Or were you like, oh, I thought I was off 151 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 3: to the races. 152 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. 153 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 3: I thought that it was the start of everything. You 154 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 3: know they tell you and your interviews the producers are like, so, 155 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 3: how does it feel, do you know, kickstart your career 156 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 3: and you know everything's just going to be incredible from here. 157 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 3: And I will say I cannot. I do not want 158 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 3: to be negative. I can't say enough good things about 159 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 3: The Voice. I learned so much, but I was not 160 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 3: prepared for the reality of getting dumped off that show 161 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 3: and realizing like, honey, you're starting at like the ground level. 162 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 3: You know, you're not ahead of anybody else. Coming to 163 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 3: Nashville made me realize, like cool. I went on the Voice. 164 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 3: I learned a lot, and I got some great exposure 165 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 3: and I made fans, but I ain't ahead of the 166 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 3: pack in any way, shape or form, And so that's 167 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 3: something that I wasn't prepared for. And another thing was 168 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 3: just how much time it takes in real life to 169 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 3: make the splash that you make on a TV show 170 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 3: like The Voice. I mean, on the show, you sing 171 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 3: a song. In the next morning, it's number one on 172 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 3: the iTunes country charts, and then you get off the 173 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 3: show and it's the real world and it does not 174 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 3: always happen like that. Usually it takes a lot more 175 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: time to get the type of traction and engagement that 176 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 3: you get on that TV show when you're just doing 177 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 3: it in the real world. 178 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: Did you have some very moments where you were like, 179 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 2: I don't even know if I want to do this again. 180 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I sat and cried to my mom and daddy. 181 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 3: I was only I guess I turned sixteen on the show, 182 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 3: and so I was little and my whole life changed, 183 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 3: and I remember having moments crying to my mom and 184 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 3: daddy saying like it's is this even really what I 185 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: want to do? And I'm so overwhelmed, and do I 186 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 3: have what it takes? And this isn't what I thought 187 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 3: it would be. I mean, I went through all of 188 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 3: those emotions and having doubts and all of that. But 189 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, every single time I 190 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 3: feel that way, because that's not something that I think 191 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 3: ever goes away. When we're chasing a big dream that's 192 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 3: bigger than we are. I mean, I've got big dreams 193 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 3: that I can't pull off on my own. I'm never 194 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 3: going to be able to get there just by my 195 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 3: own strength, and it's going to take a lot of 196 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: hard work and a great team around me and all 197 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 3: of that. And so I think, no matter where you're 198 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: at in your career, when you're chasing down something like that, 199 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 3: you're going to have moments of doubt of wondering. Like God, Lee, 200 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 3: I don't know if that it takes or if I'm 201 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 3: ever going to get there, But I guess what keeps 202 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 3: me going and keeps me encourage is I know that 203 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 3: I didn't do anything truly other than just do my 204 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 3: best to get where I'm at. The voice fell in 205 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 3: my lap. You know, I was able to end runner up, 206 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 3: and I came to Nashville, I got plugged in with 207 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 3: a great team, Like things have fallen into place. So 208 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 3: when I look at it that way, I'm like, who 209 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 3: am I to turn around and walk away. I got 210 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 3: to keep on going through these open doors and just 211 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 3: keep giving it my best. 212 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 2: When you talk about your best, the Opry has got 213 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: to be up there with something, the best that you've 214 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 2: ever done. Right when was the first time? I mean 215 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: sixteen times. I know that's a lot. 216 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 3: I know I'm giggling with you talking about it. I 217 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 3: still get giddy about it. The first time I ever 218 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,239 Speaker 3: played the Opry, I will never ever ever forget it. 219 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 3: It was in October. It was near my birthday. I 220 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 3: remember thinking like, oh, I don't need a birthday present 221 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 3: for the rest of my life. This is all I need. 222 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 3: And Ricky Skaggs was the one who got to introduce 223 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 3: me to the crowd and bring me on to the 224 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 3: stage for the first time. And he is somebody that 225 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 3: I have looked up to for my whole life. I 226 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 3: learned how to sing and sing harmony, singing along to 227 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 3: his records in the backseat of a car growing up. 228 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 3: I mean, he is just it for me, and so 229 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 3: it was so incredible to have him introduce me and 230 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 3: get to share my heart. And I got a standing 231 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 3: ovation at my debut, and I've been able to debut 232 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 3: a lot of brand new songs on that stage. I 233 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 3: sing with Larry Gatlin on the stage. At one point 234 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 3: he came out and sang Hank Williams song with me, 235 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 3: just on the fly. There have just been some moments 236 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 3: that have been just crazy, like things that you would 237 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 3: write a book about one day that have come from 238 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 3: just playing the Offrey. So that was a huge dream 239 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: come true. And every time I get to do it, 240 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 3: I'm just as happy as the first time. That's awesome. 241 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 2: Good for you, and talk about your upbringing a little bit. 242 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 2: I mean, if you can hear it in your voice, 243 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 2: you have the Southern twin, the Southern accent. You sound 244 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 2: like the Southern that you would picture in your head 245 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 2: when you hear the voice. So where are you from 246 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: and what were your parents like? Were you growing up 247 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: on country music? Did you play music growing up? Were 248 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 2: you the first one? What was that like? 249 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 3: Well? I grew up in East Tennessee in the Knoxville area, 250 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 3: and my mom and daddy are precious, but we didn't 251 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 3: have like we weren't anything crazy special. My dad was 252 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 3: a janitor and my mama worked part time for pediatrician. 253 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 3: She was a nurse there and she's still doing that. 254 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 3: I mean, I lived a very comfortable life. We went 255 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 3: to Gatlinburg once a year, and we went to Florida 256 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 3: once a year for vacation. And so the first time 257 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 3: I ever even went on an airplane was when I 258 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 3: went to go on the Voice. So a very simple life. 259 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 3: I had an older sister who was precious, but not 260 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 3: one of them could sing, so growing up, I was 261 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 3: always the little songbird. And I didn't start playing guitar 262 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 3: until the seventh grade, and before that I always loved 263 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 3: to sing. I never really thought about playing an instrument. 264 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 3: I thought like, maybe I'll be like Hannah Montana and 265 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 3: I'll be an actress and a singer and I'll do 266 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 3: it all. And that's what my dreams were when I 267 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 3: was little. But then as I got older, I started 268 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 3: really falling more and more in love with country music. 269 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 3: You know, my dad played bluegrass, country gospel all the 270 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 3: way to the Eagles. I mean, he played a whole 271 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 3: smorgas board of music for me, and it really impacted 272 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 3: me more than I realized now looking back. That's the 273 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 3: music and the sound that has shaped who I am 274 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 3: as an artist. Is that stuff that I was raised on, 275 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 3: and so my parents were definitely big music fans, but 276 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 3: like I said, nobody played or sang. And so I 277 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 3: picked up a guitar after losing in a talent show 278 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 3: at my middle school because I asked the teacher what 279 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 3: could I do to, you know, make it into the 280 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 3: talent show and do better next year, and she said, well, 281 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 3: maybe if you would have played an instrument, he would 282 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 3: have made it. And I said, okay, fine, I'll show you. 283 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 3: So I went home and told my parents I've got 284 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 3: to learn how to play the guitar. And so we 285 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 3: had a hand me down guitar that my uncle had 286 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 3: bought for his son that had just been passed around, 287 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 3: and so I got that guitar. I took lessons for 288 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 3: a little bit and started playing, and that opened up 289 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 3: a whole new world. That's when I started writing. That's 290 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 3: when I just really fell in love with like crap, 291 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 3: I can do this, Like I'm not just pulling up 292 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 3: karaoke on YouTube to sing along to, Like I can 293 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 3: make the music myself and take this anywhere I want 294 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 3: to go. And so then my big redemption story is 295 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 3: I audition for that same talent show in the seventh 296 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 3: grade and I won, so don't give up kids, keep 297 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 3: on a trucking. 298 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 2: Did you tell that teacher? Hey, I took your advice. 299 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 2: Look at me now. 300 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, I have talked about that and now like 301 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 3: she's messaged me and been like that makes me cry. 302 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 3: I'm like it made me cry in the sixth grade. 303 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 3: It broke my heart. 304 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 2: What song did you sing? Do you remember? 305 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 3: Yes? I said, sang a song by the vam Perry, 306 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 3: all your Life. It's on YouTube, we can see it. Yeah. 307 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 2: Is that a good thing? 308 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 3: Well, I'm just a baby, but I mean it was good. 309 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 3: I guess I want it. It was good enough to win 310 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 3: the Talent Show and Carns, which probably isn't saying that much, 311 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 3: but yeah, it's still on YouTube. So I sang all 312 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 3: Your Life by the vam Parry and after that it 313 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 3: really like gave me a boost and I was like, dang, 314 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 3: maybe I've got something. And so we started doing any 315 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: local competition that we could find, and that's when I 316 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 3: started reaching out to different restaurants around town seeing if 317 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 3: they would want music on Friday nights. 318 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 2: Did you have Nashville on your mind as a young 319 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 2: child even then? 320 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: Really? 321 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 3: No, no, no, it was never in my plans. To 322 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 3: come to Nashville, which is crazy, but I guess also 323 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 3: I was little. I mean I was little even when 324 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 3: I went on the voice. Most maybe some kids are 325 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 3: thinking about that at thirteen and fourteen, fifteen years old, 326 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 3: but I guess I just wasn't thinking that far yet. 327 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 3: But after the Voice, I knew I had to come 328 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 3: to Nashville. There's a lot of folks in Knoxville that said, 329 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 3: you don't need Nashville. You stay here and you can 330 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 3: make a career right where you're at. And my dad 331 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 3: used to say, if you're going to sell surfboards, you 332 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 3: might as well go to the place that you need 333 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 3: a surfboard for. So he was like, you got to 334 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 3: go to Nashville. So I just after that, I never 335 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 3: looked back. 336 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 2: So and you're happy with the move still? 337 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 3: Yeah? 338 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 2: Eight years later, eight years later? Yeah? What about now 339 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: the Emily An now compared to the Emily En eight 340 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 2: years ago when she first moved to Nashville. What do 341 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 2: you think the biggest difference is? 342 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 3: Oh, gosh, maybe perspective is the biggest difference. You know, 343 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 3: there are some things that have absolutely changed, And I 344 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 3: think that I still am starry eyed and I'm hopeful 345 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 3: I still have that in me, but I do. I 346 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 3: feel like I'm a little bit wiser, a little bit calmer, 347 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 3: I'm more sure of myself. But I've always known exactly 348 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 3: what I want to do. But when I first got here, 349 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 3: I guess I just didn't have the confidence to really 350 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 3: give it all I got. I had a lot of 351 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 3: different voices, as we all do, opinions, people telling me 352 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 3: to go this way and that way and do things 353 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 3: more like this person does it, and try it more 354 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 3: like they do it. And I did. I tried, And 355 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 3: that was a big setback for me when I first 356 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 3: got to Nashville, because it's kind of like a game here. 357 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 3: You get to town. Everybody wants to be able to 358 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 3: put you in a box with somebody else to understand 359 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 3: who you are, and then once you sound like that person, 360 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 3: they're like, yeah, but who are you? What makes you different? 361 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 3: And so I went through a little bit of a 362 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 3: struggle trying to learn to take people's opinions and see 363 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 3: what I could take from it, but then also not 364 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 3: let them steer me away from what I know is 365 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 3: what sets me apart. I would have folks say, we 366 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 3: love that your country, but we've got to figure out 367 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 3: a way to make your country fit. And so then 368 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 3: I was trying to take who I was and put 369 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 3: it in a box. And you can't be real creative 370 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 3: when you're trying to stay inside the lines that somebody 371 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 3: puts you in. So I would say the biggest thing 372 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 3: that I've learned through the years is that at the 373 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 3: end of the day, if anybody's gonna believe a word 374 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 3: I say, I got to believe it. And so I 375 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 3: can't try to be fake or be somebody that I'm not. 376 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 3: I've just got to be true to who I am 377 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 3: and share it as authentically and honestly as I can do. 378 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 2: You feel like social media is a good outlet for that. Nowadays, 379 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 2: as an independent artist, you can still be yourself, make 380 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 2: your own music, write your own songs, and get it 381 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 2: out to the world without having the backing, a major 382 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 2: backing to get you out there. 383 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: Oh. 384 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 3: Absolutely, social media has changed the game for artists like 385 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 3: me because you're able to find your group of people 386 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,479 Speaker 3: and people who believe in it, and then other people 387 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 3: who were maybe skeptical now they believe because you've got 388 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 3: six million people on a platform that are saying, give 389 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 3: me this song. I freaking love it. Okay. Well, then 390 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, everybody else who was doubting it says, oh, shoot, 391 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 3: you might have something good, you know, And it kind 392 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 3: of sucks that it has to be that way, But 393 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 3: you know, I'm thankful. If it takes a song blowing 394 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 3: up online and posting it a million times to get 395 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 3: traction to get you where you got to get to, 396 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 3: you do whatever you got to do to get there. 397 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 3: So I'm thankful. I'm very thankful for social media. I 398 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 3: remember when TikTok came out. I thought it was just 399 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 3: a little dance app and I was like, I ain't 400 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 3: downloading that thing, and my team told me, like, it's 401 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 3: not an option, yeah, to download TikTok. And I'm so 402 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 3: thankful that I did because it has changed the game. 403 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 3: I have been able to connect with all kinds of 404 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 3: folks that might have never heard of me if it 405 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 3: wasn't for that platform. 406 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 2: And how hard was that for you to adjust? Because 407 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 2: me personally, I talked about this few done this podcast. 408 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 2: I have the app TikTok, but I don't use it. 409 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 2: I've never posted, I don't even go on it. I 410 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: don't even know if on my phone still. 411 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 3: Good for you. It's addicted. 412 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I've heard. And I'm like, okay, I'm 413 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 2: already on Instagram and Twitter as much as I am, 414 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 2: I don't need another one. But I understand as an 415 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 2: artist and somebody who gets creative, even myself, I could 416 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,719 Speaker 2: probably I could definitely use it just to you know, 417 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 2: widen the brand or reach more listeners, whatever it might be. 418 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 2: So that's on me at the end of the day. 419 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 2: But how tough was that for you to adjust to 420 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 2: that and just accept it and be like, Okay, we 421 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 2: have to do this now, let's just do it. How 422 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 2: long did that take? 423 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 3: It was tough. And then when I had a video 424 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 3: blow up, I was like, actually, this is addicting. It 425 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 3: was tough until I saw progress and then I thought, well, 426 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 3: I'll shoot Okay, if it works, it works, and I'll 427 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 3: do it. But it's very interesting. I was talking to 428 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 3: some folks about this actually just last week. My focus 429 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 3: and like the things that I'm working on, has shifted 430 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 3: in the past year. I spent a lot of time 431 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 3: thinking about content, and that was not how it was 432 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 3: when I first got to town, or even kind of 433 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 3: before TikTok and before Instagram reels and before YouTube shorts 434 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 3: and before all this content that you have to have 435 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 3: that kind of drives everything that you do. I wasn't 436 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 3: thinking about that, and now I spend majority of my 437 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 3: week when I'm not writing or recording or out on 438 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 3: the road, and even when I'm out on the road, 439 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 3: thinking what can I do to turn my life and 440 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 3: what I'm doing into content, which is crazy. It's a 441 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 3: different it's a different mindset than I've had in the past. 442 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 2: Interesting. And then when you're out on the road as 443 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 2: an independent artist that you just talked about, how tough 444 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 2: is that for you? 445 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 3: Well, I will say you it's tough. And there's plenty 446 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 3: of shows that you go out and give it your 447 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 3: best and you come home and look at the bank 448 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 3: and think, oh crap, well, we're just out here playing 449 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 3: for free after everything's been paid for. So it's definitely hard, 450 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 3: But that is my true passion is entertaining and connecting 451 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 3: with people. I enjoy writing, and I enjoy the other 452 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 3: things that I get to do with content creation and 453 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 3: talking to people online and through social media. All that 454 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 3: is fine, but my love that got me into this 455 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 3: in the first place is being on a stage singing 456 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 3: my heart out and hopefully connecting with somebody in the audience. 457 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 3: That's what I love. So even when it's tough out 458 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 3: on the road, it all comes out in the wash 459 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 3: because I love it so so much. That's where my 460 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:25,479 Speaker 3: heart is. 461 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite story on the road and 462 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 2: a least favorite story or memory? 463 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 3: I should say, Okay, my favorite and my least favorite 464 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 3: is all one story. So I had just bought my 465 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 3: first van and trailer, and I had been renting from 466 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 3: people for years. I had been borrowing SUVs, cramming poor 467 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 3: little pitiful band members in there like sardines. It's a 468 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 3: wonder they went out on the road with me, and 469 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 3: we had just like grasped its straws. Every time we 470 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 3: had to go out on the road. It was a 471 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 3: struggle to figure out what we were going to do. 472 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 3: So I saved and saved and saved. Finally I was 473 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 3: able to buy my first little trailer and my first van, 474 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 3: and I was so proud. And we had had that 475 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 3: thing for maybe two weeks. And we were headed to 476 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 3: a show in Missouri, and so we're passing the Kansas 477 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 3: City Airport. I'll never forget it. I heard a funny 478 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 3: little noise. But I thought, oh, the must just hit 479 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 3: a bump or something. Okay, well, no, it was not 480 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 3: just a little bump. Somehow the pin that held my 481 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 3: the hitch okay, into my van. The pin came out 482 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 3: and the entire hitch flew out of our van. The 483 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 3: only thing that kept the trailer from just flying down 484 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 3: the interstate was the safety chains, and that hitch flew 485 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 3: under our trailer hit a semi behind us. Yes, and 486 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 3: our trailer like hits the ground. It's just dragging all 487 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 3: over the place. And so we get off on the 488 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 3: side of the road. We didn't know what had happened. 489 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 3: When we got out there and looked at it, I 490 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 3: just boohooed. I literally boohooed because I knew what was 491 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 3: in my bank account. I had spent all my money 492 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 3: on this crap, and I thought, okay, well have crap. 493 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 3: I mean, I can't afford to do anything. I mean, 494 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 3: I'm screwed. Thankfully, the van was okay, but the trailer 495 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 3: was just toast. So long story short, the boys stayed 496 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 3: with the trailer on the side of the road. We 497 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 3: had a piano player whose dad lived in Iowa. He 498 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 3: came out to help with the trailer. The girls got 499 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 3: in the car and we headed to the gig. To 500 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 3: make the gig. I gave it the best that I could. 501 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 3: I told them the situation. They were completely understanding. But 502 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 3: at the end of the show I went to the 503 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 3: guy who booked us and I said, you know, I 504 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 3: feel really bad. He had paid for half upfront and 505 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 3: was going to pay for the rest that night, and 506 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 3: I said, I don't want you to pay me for 507 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 3: the other half because you didn't get what you paid for. 508 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 3: You wanted the full band. You know, we got here late, 509 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 3: we didn't have the full sound system. We literally like 510 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 3: coombay yalled it with them sitting in a circle around us, 511 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 3: and we sang to him and he said no. He said, 512 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 3: I think it worked out just the way it was 513 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 3: supposed to. And as I went to leave, it was 514 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 3: dark out where we were at, and he just went 515 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 3: He grabbed my hand and stuck a wad of cash 516 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 3: in my hand and he said, I just want to 517 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 3: help you and pour into you and what you're doing. 518 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 3: He said, we believe in you so much. Well, I've 519 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 3: just started bawling, and you know, said no, no, no, no, no, 520 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 3: I can't accept that. He said, no, you take it. 521 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 3: So I got in the van and another couple that 522 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 3: night had given me because we didn't even have merch 523 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 3: they gave me one hundred dollars cash and said, you 524 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 3: just put this towards a new trailer. I got in 525 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 3: the van. I counted up that money that that man 526 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 3: put in my hand, and it was two thousand dollars cash. 527 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 3: I got back home to Nashville. We rented a U 528 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 3: haul to get us back home. The trailer stayed and 529 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 3: died in Missouri the original way. Okay, yeah, it's gone. 530 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 3: So we come back home. We have to go out 531 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 3: the next weekend. And I I'm thinking, okay, I don't 532 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 3: want to keep renting all year long because that's a 533 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 3: waste of money. I want to be able to buy 534 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,959 Speaker 3: something if I can. We had a friend who had 535 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,959 Speaker 3: a trailer who wasn't using it. Somebody put me in 536 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 3: touch with him, and it was the same size trailer 537 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 3: that I had before. And so the woman said, well, 538 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 3: you know what, we'd sell it, but I don't know 539 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 3: really what to charge you for it. She said, let 540 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 3: me just see what I paid for it, and I'd 541 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 3: like to at least get what I paid for it. 542 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 3: Back out of it, I said, okay. She called me 543 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 3: back and she said, I paid twenty one hundred dollars 544 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 3: for it. That's the exact amount of cash that was 545 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 3: handed to me that night. She said, would that work? 546 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 3: And I said, yep, I've got the cash right here 547 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 3: for you. And I was able to just hand her 548 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 3: that twenty one hundred dollars. So all that story to 549 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 3: say when you asked me if things are tough on 550 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 3: the road, yes, but the Lord makes it all work out. 551 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 3: And I have learned that story is one of my 552 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 3: favorite memories. It's one of the hardest memories and my 553 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 3: favorite memories because it goes to show even when things 554 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 3: seem bad, you never know what's going on behind the scenes, 555 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 3: and it's gonna work out in the end. 556 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 2: I can see it in your face right now. It's 557 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 2: just I mean, the fact that there's the exact amount. 558 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,360 Speaker 3: The exact amount, that's how you make that up. 559 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 2: Not even like twenty not twenty two hundred, no, the 560 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 2: exact twenty one hundred. And then that one fan they 561 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 2: gave you that extra hundred. It's just, yeah, I don't know, 562 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 2: I know, that's crazy. I know, well, good for you. 563 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 3: I know it worked out. I'm thankful. 564 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 2: How tough was that show that night? 565 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 3: Then? 566 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 2: I mean, how could you not? It was in your 567 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 2: head the whole time, I imagine, yes, and I had. 568 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 3: Been boohooing the whole time. So then I get there 569 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 3: and I'm trying to pull myself together, and I'm one 570 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 3: of those criers. If I start crying, oh gosh, I'm 571 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 3: just going to cry and it's all over my face. 572 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 3: And so anyways, I had to just say, like, mind 573 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 3: over matter. You're out here in Missouri and these folks 574 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 3: have been waiting for months for this, so you got 575 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 3: to just give it all you got. And so I did, 576 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 3: and I was able to just say okay, out of sid 577 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 3: out of mind. As soon as it was over, it 578 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 3: all came crashing back in. But sometimes you just got 579 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 3: to put your mind over the situation that you're in. 580 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 2: I like it. I like it. You'll get through it. 581 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 2: Twenty dollars and every other thing in life. You talked 582 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 2: about a supporting system earlier. And I know that you're married. 583 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 2: You've been married for how long now? 584 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 3: Two years? 585 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 2: And how did your you and your husband meet?

Do you guys even 587 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 2: have a YouTube channel together. 588 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 3: We do have a thank you for asking about it. 589 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 3: I'm so proud of it. So, yes, we have the 590 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 3: Sasser House, which is I guess my married name, and 591 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 3: that's my husband's last name. And yes, we met in 592 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 3: high school in Spanish class and he was so shy 593 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 3: and I was just smitten with him. I thought he 594 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 3: was just a doll and so sweet and so uh. 595 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 3: Took some wrangling, but I finally got him to come 596 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 3: around and realize, I'm the one for you. 597 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 2: Baby sounds like a guy. 598 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, So once he got his head wrapped around it 599 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 3: and he was like, okay, cool.

It sounds like you've probably 643 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 2: gotten this before, like a Miranda Lambert old school country song, 644 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 2: and I mean, your foot is stomping? Where does this 645 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 2: come from? 646 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: Well? 647 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 3: I was writing that day with Seth Moseley and Parker 648 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 3: Welling and I told him, I said, you know, there's 649 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 3: all these songs about women going nutso on their men 650 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 3: in country music, and I'm like, where does that come from? 651 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 3: And we just basically decided, well, there has to be 652 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 3: a series of events that take place. We're not just 653 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 3: born crazy. Surely somebody makes us crazy. And so that 654 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 3: is how the song was born. We basically said, let's 655 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 3: tell the story. What did he do that set her off? 656 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 3: And so that's where that came from. And I have 657 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 3: had a lot of really fun and terrifying videos that 658 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,959 Speaker 3: have been shared using this song. When I first teased it, 659 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 3: I'm not even kidding you. One of the first videos 660 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 3: you can see it on TikTok, a woman used the sound. 661 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 3: She literally had her husband's stuff thrown in the yard. 662 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 3: A cop pulled up, he was picking up his stuff, 663 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 3: trying to put it back in the bag. It was chaos, 664 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 3: and I looked at my husband and I was like, 665 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 3: did I did I do that? 666 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: Like? 667 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 3: Did I just encourage that and put that in that 668 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 3: woman's mind? So it's been very funny to see the reaction. 669 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 3: But we had a lot of fun writing it, and 670 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 3: I tell you what, we have fun singing it.
