But it's 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.400 it's hard to date someone that does exactly what you 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.080 do because you find yourself either judging what they do 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.800 because that's you're kind of qualified to do that, or 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.880 you know. So yeah, it's pretty funny. I know, I 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:19.920 hear you dating and Nashville, but now that I know 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.760 you're single, I'm gonna work help.

They tell you to put aquifer 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.080 on it, and I've never used it before, but it's 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.240 like this miraculous stuff that I use his chapstick now 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.799 and I use it as hand cream, Like it's amazing. 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:52.840 Do you put it on your full body.

So you obviously grew 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.880 up in a very musical family, your dad being Glencampbell. 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.160 Did he put an instrument in your hand when you 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.600 were a child or did you just see it happening 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:31.720 in front of you and you knew you want to 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.320 be apart? How did you get your lad for it? Um? 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.800 My mom and dad put me and my brothers into 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.040 piano lessons when we were very little, Like I started 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.280 in first grade, so I've always been playing an instrument. 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.200 Um My brother Cal started playing drums when he was two, 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:46.200 and I thought that was really cool. I was like, 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:47.960 why didn't I start that early? And then I saw 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.800 a video people even walk it to they can drum 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.800 it too, And I saw a video of me playing 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.560 the drum set when I was like too, and I 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.280 was terrible at the drums, but it was really cute. 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.400 I mean, I think I was very basic, but like 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.280 my brother was like he still played the drums. Oh yeah, 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.520 he's one of the best drummers I've ever seen, which 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:08.960 I want to talk about. You went on tour with 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.120 your dad, Yeah, with you, But before you do that, 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.720 the instrument you picked up was banjo, right, that's right. Yeah, 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.040 you're a finger picking Well, thank you. How did you 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.440 get so good? And you're a female and you're sexy, 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.800 which is like big combination because a lot of badass 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.840 female musicians aren't sexy. You're so hot, thank you, and 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:32.600 you're so good. Um. Well, I started playing guitar when 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.040 I was fifteen, and I was just kind of okay 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:36.640 at it. I didn't really work very hard at it 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.280 because I just didn't I didn't have it yet. Um. 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.400 But then, um, when I was in college, I started 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.760 playing banjo for a play that I was in with 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.400 my university theater department, and I just completely fell in 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.520 love with banjo and whatever comes from that and just picking. 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.120 And I started listening to bluegrass and I just got 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.320 really into it and so like something just clicked in me. 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.880 And then I started playing banjo more and getting better 0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:01.400 at that, and then I went back to guitar and 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.360 started doing a lot of fingerpicking with guitar because I 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.719 kind of figured it out with the banjo, and so 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.480 that kind of opened up a whole new world for me. 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.120 Fingerpicking is really difficult. Do you just sit there for 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.439 hours and go over and over the same like movements 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:19.640 I did. Yeah, it's always. Fingerpicking has always come really 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.920 easily to me, just like singing harmonies. It's just I 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.480 just kind of hear it. Yeah, my dad that got 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.960 definitely got that from my dad. He always kind of 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.640 pride himself. He's like, my kids can sing harmonies. Yeah, 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:36.000 they're great. It just happens. Um. So fingerpicking, I definitely 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.200 had to work at it, but I think it came 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.719 pretty easily to me. Yeah. So did you know you 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:44.920 wanted to do music? Not until I started playing banjo. Yeah, 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.000 I was. I wanted to be an actress and I 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:54.440 was doing sketch comedy and improv in Hollywood. Yeah crazy Mary. Yeah, 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.920 Yeah so I was. I was in a sketch group. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.920 What does that mean? So like Saturday Night Live? You know, 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.200 I do sketches that they right that are funny, like 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.200 characters and things like that. I want to do a 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.800 side note though, because you are so stunning, and you 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.200 come from such an amazing family and you're so talented, 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:13.000 people might be surprised that you're so hilarious. You have 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.400 this really goofy, funny side to you that is your sketch, 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.840 which is amazing. Well, thank you. Yeah. Um, So I 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.280 did this video with my friend who had a couple 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.079 of successful YouTube videos on his page, so it was 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.800 a fake American Idol audition. Um. And I made up 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.720 this character called Crazy Mary, and we used footage from 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:35.720 another from an actual Crazy Mary video online, so it's 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.200 it's me spliced in with actual footage of Simon Cowell 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.560 and Paula Abduel Um. And I'm just acting nuts in 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:46.080 front of them and singing. I'm like doing I'm playing this. Yeah, 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.320 I'm playing this crazy character. She's just there's something wrong 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:53.480 with her and and she's doing a Randy Newman impression. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.920 That's how she sings. So it's like, you got a 0:10:56.040 --> 0:11:03.559 finding me, you got a fwinding me? Do doop boo 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:10.720 doo doo doop. Did you get picked on American Idol? 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:15.440 I did not, Simon said. Simon said no, Simon was 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.920 scared of me. What did he say to you? Um? 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.360 He said, I needed violent music behind me, which is 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.719 what I have now. So he was right. Did it 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.960 get some hits on YouTube? Oh my gosh, yeah, I 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:31.240 think at one point, Um, we had about thirteen million hits. 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:33.760 How do you get a video to go viral? It 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:37.280 just did people, Girl, that's freaking funny, and then they 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.280 pass it on and I was actually starting to get 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.560 recognized on the streets of Hollywood as Crazy Mary. Like 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.280 I was standing in line at a Starbucks and someone 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:48.920 was like, hey, you're Crazy Mary. So does anything come 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:53.200 from being a YouTube sensation? Um, nothing's come from this 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.800 except just I got a lot of satisfaction knowing that 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.840 people saw it, and I think I'm so proud of 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:01.719 being Crazy Mary. Like the first time some I thought 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.560 someone recognized me was actually my friend who actually made 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.640 the video. I was walking down Melrose and he was 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:08.880 driving past and he saw me and he thought it'd 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:12.400 be funny. You know, Hey, it's crazy Mary. So I 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.960 was like, hey, I got recognized, and then I found 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:20.000 out it was him. I'm sure though a lot of people, no, 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.520 Crazy Mary. Yeah, a lot of people have seen It's 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:26.520 pretty funny, and even recently I was I was at 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.240 some I was at another Starbucks that, um you love Starbucks? Yeah, 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:37.960 near Gayalax. Um where was that? Gosh? Um man, where 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:43.400 were we California, Virginia, Virginia traveling you just know the place? 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:44.960 You're just like, I don't know where on the map. 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.679 But anyway, the guy that worked at the Starbucks, he's like, hey, 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.640 I've seen you on YouTube. I feel like I'm in Galax. 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:54.000 How do you? Yeah, exactly. Okay, So before you were 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:57.160 going to do music, you're going to do stand up comedy. 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.760 Not stand up that's sketch comedy. Yeah. I liked I 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:02.840 liked writing comedy, and I would have loved to have 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.920 been like a writer on a TV show or like 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.360 if I could have written on Saturday Live, that would 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.839 have been great. But yeah, um, I ended up. So 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.040 I was doing this um in prop school called the 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:16.240 Groundlings in l A, which is like my favorite. They're amazing, 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.679 They're such good training. No I didn't. I moved there 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.360 when I was Yeah, I moved there and when I 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.920 was eighteen. Um, but right when I was taking the 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.800 third level class there, um, my dad was going to 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:29.680 go on a tour to Australia and New Zealand and 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.839 it was right after I graduated from college, and I said, hey, 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:34.920 can I go as like a vacation and it sounds 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.160 like a cool place to go, and he said sure, 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.199 but you should play banjo on Jennal on my Mind. Okay, 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.400 so that's kind of a big deal because even though 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.840 he's your dad, Yeah, I loves you, you actually have 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:49.480 to be good to play in Glenn Campbell's band, Like, yeah, definitely. Yeah. 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:52.560 I was just like, are you serious really? And then um, 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.160 so he asked you to play. He asked you to 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.200 play banjo on Jennal in my Mind. And then his 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:02.080 musical director, t J. Kenster, who played piano in his band, Um, 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.440 he said, I've always wanted to have the strings parts 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.400 in our show. Can you play keyboard and do all 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.640 the strings parts on a keyboard? And I was like sure, 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.040 that's that's awesome. So and me like at that point, 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.040 I mean probably at this point too, but like, piano 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.280 wasn't my main instrument, but I had actually just memorized 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:22.000 an entire musical score because I was a I played 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.880 by ear I played by ear Um. I was an 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.200 understudy for a piano player in um My Friends comedy 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.920 musical based on the Fellowship of the Rings, so you're 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:34.320 like a musical freak of nature, I might be. Um, Yeah, 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.360 So I learned that whole score just because I wanted to, 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.880 and it was super fun. And right after that, I 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:40.440 got asked to do all the strings parts for my 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.000 dad's show. So I was pretty like hot on the piano, 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.280 like I felt, but I still had to like go 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:48.720 through and like I felt like a kindergartener writing out 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.320 the notes in the in the music for my dad's show, 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.920 Like I couldn't just read the notes, so I was like, 0:14:55.520 --> 0:15:00.920 so I wrote like B A A flat, Like what 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.000 was it like playing in his band? Were you nervous? 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.840 Because I was super nervous at first he was gonna 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:08.320 get mad at you and yell at if you messed up. 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.200 I wasn't scared he was gonna yell at me, Like 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.200 I honestly don't think he would have noticed because it 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.280 was strings parts and they were kind of lone his mix. 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.840 But like I was just I was nervous because I 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.440 was just a little shaky, you know, And but it 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.480 was great. He was super nurturing. The whole band was 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.760 super nurturing, and um, it was just really cool to 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:29.640 have that experience with him and another side. Yeah exactly. 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:31.560 It was definitely a trial by fire and that's kind 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:33.680 of where I got my my wings as far as 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.360 being on stage, So that that's where you learned how 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.120 to be on stage, was touring with her your dad, Yeah, exactly. 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:44.160 My first ever professional show was the State Theater in Auckland, 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:48.280 New Zealand. So it was like thousands of people. Oh 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.040 my god, at least yeah, almost a thousand. Did you 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.600 get the bug then, where you like, I have to perform? 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.840 I was terrified. I was very scared. Um at that point, 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:58.280 I was just like I gotta get through this tour. 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.600 Like um. So then he asked you to come back 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.560 for his farewell tour and play, and you played the 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.320 whole tour, right, I did. I played for him for 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.680 about three years. So you went on the road with 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.960 your dad and your brothers, both brothers. Yeah. At first, 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:17.400 um um, we were still a goodbye tour, goodbye tour. Yeah. 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.000 That his final tour, his final tour. Yeah. My brothers 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.000 joined on for the goodbye tour. Um. And that lasted 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.240 about two years, which was longer than we expected. But 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:27.800 we had so much fun. I got to tour the 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:32.520 UK twice. Really, where's your favorite places that you went? Mm? Oh, man, 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.680 I had so much fun in Brisbane, Australia. And I 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:40.240 also just love London and I love going up to 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.920 like smaller towns in in Scotland and Ireland because you 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:47.520 just get to explore all these really cool villages and stuff. 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.960 I know, it's majestic. Yeah, the architecture is amazing. Did 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.200 you ever get tired of being with your family that much? No? 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.840 Not really. We get along pretty well and you know, 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:57.920 we had our space, so it was fun. What's the 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.360 dynamic of you and your dad and your brothers and 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:04.399 your mom? Your family dynamic? And well, my mom bless 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:08.360 her heart, like she's a she's a rock. Absolutely. Um. So, 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.760 the poor thing, Like even if she wanted to come 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.320 hang out with us, if we were all going out 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:13.919 to dinner, like if my dad didn't want to go, 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.040 she would have to stay back with him, and because 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.840 he had Alzheimers, so she was basically like with him 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:23.880 seven um. Like occasionally, like the someone on the tour, 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:25.680 like all of us would band together and be like, Okay, 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.359 you're gonna watch Glenn and she's gonna go out to 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.280 dinner and have a good fun night off, you know. 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:31.359 So that was kind of fun. We were just like 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:35.320 a big family. Um. So it was great and it 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.080 was great to have my brothers with me. We did 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:40.400 I mean, we'd have a little little fights here and there, 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.120 but overall we we got along. Is it just three 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.280 of you guys? Okay? So all of your are musical, 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.760 even though I know there's serious music and the jeans, 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:53.600 that's still impressive. They're all what do they play?

Um, it was pretty crazy, 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.000 and it definitely brought us together. I because that was 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:05.080 especially for me, Like, um, my brothers had already gone 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.200 out and been like doing their own, Like I'm living alone. 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:10.879 I'm you know, making away from myself and as an adult. 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:14.000 But I had just graduated from college, and so I 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:15.680 was kind of that was the time when I should 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:17.639 have gone out and be like moved somewhere and just 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:20.480 lived on my own and started, you know, figuring out 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.359 what I'm doing with my life. But I kind of 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:26.159 just the responsibility and honor and privilege fell on me 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.920 to help my mom take care of my dad. Um, 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:31.600 so I just kind of said, I'm going to ride 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.480 this out. I'm gonna just because Dad's not gonna be 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:37.040 around forever. I'm just gonna I can go off and 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:39.040 be an adult anytime I want, but this is the 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:40.960 time that I'm going to be a daughter. Sorry.

Um, Like, 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.480 we grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, so not in Hollywood 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:42.960 where everyone was going to know and mostly it was 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.760 people's parents that would freak out about him. So like 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:48.520 my friends in in elementary school and everything, I was 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:50.959 just Ashley, you know. They were like, who's that?
