Amanda Shires (@amandapearlshires) talks to Bobby about her project, Loving You, a covers album with the late Bobbie Nelson. She explains how Bobbie was her hero and what it was like working with her and how she will keep her legacy alive with their joint album. Amanda also shares how she got her start in music, how she expresses herself through playing the fiddle, and details the time she wrote a letter to Tyrese Gibson. She also tells us how Billy Joe Shaver convinced her to move to Nashville after she found success with her music in Texas. Amanda will also share how she met her husband, Jason Isbell, when he invited her to play with him, why she stopped smoking marijuana to help her singing, how she's still getting over stage fright and more!
To celebrate the release of Loving You, Amanda is playing two special shows in Texas honoring Bobbie Nelson’s legacy and the rich history of Texas music. She’ll be playing at two legendary dance halls, accompanied by the iconic band, Asleep At The Wheel on July 8th at The Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas and July 9th at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels.
