Hey everyone, welcome back to the Josie Show. I am
so excited to share with you my interview with Anna
Christina Cash right now here at the Josie Show. I
hope you enjoy.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
This was such a fun one. Here we go.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Please welcome to the Joseph Show. Anna Christina Cash, Hello, Hi,
how are you doing. I'm doing wonderful. Thank you so
much for joining me.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Oh absolutely, I'm thrilled.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I've been looking forward to this, you know, and I
want to kind of start off from the beginning. Growing up,
what music did you listen to that you feel really
influenced your style today? Would you say, oh gosh, I was.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Actually the most the two different musical styles, because definitely
a lot of music shaped who I am, as well
as country music and clearly pop as well, you know,
so I am. The first concert I ever saw was
Gloria Stefan. It was a benefit concert for the Hurricane Andrew.
I went through Hurricane Andrew, which is a cat Category
five hurricane in Miami in the second grade. It was
(02:08):
pretty crazy, and I was just I loved her work.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I love seeing her perform on stage. Also, Selena Lostinos
was highly influential to me as well.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
And then with country music, it was Leanne Rimes, it
was Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Garth Brooks, you know.
And then in pop world, I loved Christina Aguilera, Brittany,
all the pop singers, yeah, like Backstreet Boys, and just
like the sensibility of you know, beautiful, catchy songs with
gorgeous melodies.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
You know. So all of that has kind of shaped
who I Am.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I love it. You've named like literally so many of
my favorites.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I love this so much.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's wonderful. And you have a new single titled Cheat
Margarita's Can you tell us a little bit about this single,
the influence behind this one.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yeah, so cheap Margarita's. I have an English version and
a Spanglish version.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
It was written by Erica Ender, Willie Breeding, Jessica and
Frank Ray, and Eric did the Spanish adaptation.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I had a record those nearly.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Finished and we were missing like a couple songs, and
Willie Breeding, who was the co producer on the project
with my husband.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
John Curter Cash, was like, you got to hear this song.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I wrote the song with, you know, several co writers,
and I thought it was just so cool and flirty
and just so realistic about kind of like a flirtatious
exchange at a bar, you know, and about these people
getting together at their special place and flirting over these
Margarita's right. And I thought that that kind of human
interaction like that is cool, you know, because I just
(03:37):
don't feel like every song needs to be incredibly serious
or philosophical all the time.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I think something real like that, like a true.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Exchange between people, is just as palatable.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
So I record the song and I absolutely love it,
you know.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I've gotten to sing it several places around town in Nashville,
and you know, it's definitely gained a buzz online as well,
people sending me all their Margerita videos.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
So I love it. It's such a fun one, it
really is, and it's one that will like stick in
your head, you know, Like the chorus is so much fun,
and I just I can't stop listening to it. It's
such a good song. Oh thank you, You're welcome, You're welcome.
And as you mentioned, you have a Spanglish version as well,
and that's what I love about you is you you
pay tribute to your Cuban American roots as well, So
(04:22):
that's so cool. And people could check out both versions
available on all the streaming sites now right, Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
They can, Yes they can. I guess you know.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I started off in a lot of music industry actually
because of where I was given the opportunity was Miami,
and you know, I kind of just coming back circling
around and doing both and I kind of just love
to create a fusion between both of my worlds, which
are very true to me, very authentic.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It's amazing. And you have a music video out for
this one as well. What was it like filming the
music video?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It was super fun.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Well, my step son Joseph Cash was the director actually,
and we filmed at New These bar and grill at
Tanya Tucker's Tequila Cantina, and they let us shoot when
it was not during operating hours, so hair and makeup
had to come for me at the house like around
one Yeah, I think we got to the venue like
around three thirty in the morning in downtown, So it
(05:19):
was you know, definitely pretty empty on the streets minus
the crew and you know, hair and makeup artists, myself, director, producers,
and it was just like really cool to be at
a bar during that time. And there were extras in
the video and everything, but it was other than the
people working. It was not like an active bar, you know,
(05:39):
so it was it was kind of cool to experience that.
It was a really good time. And then the other
scene is in my bedroom, my actual bedroom.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Oh wow, that's awesome. Yes, the beginning, that's so amazing.
And it looked like you guys did such you know,
you guys did such a great job. But it also
looked like you had fun while doing it, you know
what I mean. You could just tell that the set
was you know, you were having a blast. Genuinely.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Oh, it was so fun.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
We had these Margarita glasses, but clearly they didn't have
any alcohol in them. There's like water, like cut colored water,
and it was just like really fun to be like
singing the song with a Margarita glass in my hand, honestly,
So I.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I love it. I love it. That is so cool
and cheap Margarita's Now was that was recorded at Cash
Cabin Studios as well?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Right, it sure was.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Yes, the majority of it was between True Blue Recordings,
which is Willie Breeding Studio, and the vocals were recorded
at Cash Cabin Studio and most of the live instrumentation
as well.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So yes, it's amazing. I mean, the vocals, production, everything
is just one hundred percent top notch. And it's just
like I said, I can't stop listening to this song.
You're very welcome. I just really can't. And you know
what got me really excited is I've heard that you
have an EP coming out this fall. Is there anything
you can tell us about that yet?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I do.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
So it's the Sunshine State EP for the three singles
that we've had, all the Spanish or Spanglish for are
on it, and I have a single coming out right
next week. Actually it's Daybreak and then the Spanish version
of that, which is oom Break day Daybreak, but just
you on a Espanol so that is coming up, and
for that, it's just it's kind of far removed from
(07:14):
the cheat Margarita's image. And I'm in a canoe on
our lake in Hendersonville, so I love it.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
You got to you gotta check.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Out the Instagram photos of that and the covers me
and a canoe.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
So I'm canoe girl. Now I'm not Margarita's girl. I've switched.
I switch over. With every single, I do something different,
or at least I try to do. And but the
Holy p is great.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
It's been a while since I've released an EP or
an album. It's been since twenty twenties Shine and then
following EP one.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
You know, I do have a little October surprise. I'm
going to release something October.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I don't know if I'm going to release something for Christmas,
so although I do have a Christmas record out there,
and I'm working on an EP two and then eventually
a full album.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
So I'm just recording and recording. Busy Bee also a mom, a.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Wife, trying to juggle all with things. You know, Yes, Wow,
so you you are great at keeping a balance. I
do have to say, well, at least it looks like
that on my end on my old boy, you look
like you got it together, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
That's a funny check out my room here.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
But I understand. I love it. I love it. Well,
I'm so excited you are coming through with the content.
So I'm really looking forward to, of course the new
single coming the EP. And you know, how do you
feel this EP differs from your previous projects?
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Well, this one we worked with a lot of beats,
so Willie Breeding is very good with actual beats.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
I wanted to create a mix between the live instrumentation,
which you know, my my husband John Carter is, you know,
his vibe as a producer's more.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Folky, more country, and then Willy kind of like brought
like those pop beats to a lot of this stuff.
So it moves a lot. This record.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
EP two will do the same, you know. So there's
a rhythmic component on this record that is just really
fun to jam to.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yes, I love it, And I know for music artists,
everyone's creative process looks different. What does it look like
for you?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Well, for me, it's I like bare walls.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Which is oddo so when I'm writing, either by myself
or with a group of people, I don't like a
lot of furniture and distractions.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
My inspiration comes from everywhere.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I could have just like showered, I could have just
been outside in nature. Sometimes I'll hear malady and have
to record in my voice memos, or sometimes I'll write
with a guitar or a keyboard or piano, or sometimes
you know, it's a beat that I hear that starts
the wheels turning for a song.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
So it really varies. And I also really like themes.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I'm a titles person, so I carry a journal around
with loads of song titles. For me, like this, it
starts with the so song titles usually, or if I've
come up with a really catching or somebody has in
a writing room, it's a melody.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
But yes, I value melodies. I value lyrics, or value
all of it. And it's absolutely different every time.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Absolutely I love that what is what's been kind of
like the the fastest song that you ever were able
to put together, one that just kind of came so
naturally to you.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Uh you know, it's it's so funny.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
It's a song that's not released yet, or would you
rather hear about a song that's already been released or
something that's it's.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Either way, you know, either one that you could actually
talk about. I don't want you to, you know, expose.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
No worries.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
In fact, you know, I'm not kidding when I say this,
but Daybreak, the one that's coming out August first, was
very fast to put together. I wrote that together with
Gabby Scoto and Willie Breading and we're just at Willi's
studio in East Nashville, and we were, you know, he
Willy was kind of on the guitar coming up with
some chord progressions, and then and then it just.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I think Jimmy Buffett had just passed away.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
So I had that in my mind, and somehow it
had like little when the song was done to had
like little big town Jimmy Buffett.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Can you chestny vibes? You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
So I was already on that track from hearing the
news coverage of Jimmy Buffett's passing.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh, I'm just I'm really looking forward to this this single.
It sounds incredible and I know it will be. I'm
just I'm a new fan I've been listening to your
whole catalog and you were just incredible. I literally stalked
Spotify a.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Good girl.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, yes, and I hope everyone does as well. Right
after the show, please make sure you check out Cheap Margaritas,
and also make sure you check out all of your
social networking sites as well and your website because more music,
like we said, is coming. So can you give out
your website as well as.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Your social networking Yes, my website is anti Christina Cash
dot com and all of my social networks. I'm pretty
much just Anta Christina Cash.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
It's at for TikTok. I am Anna Christina Cash. Music
on that one.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Perfect everyone, Please make sure you check her out. And
I wanted to ask you because you've performed at the
Opry performing your original music, and you sang for the
one hundred Honors Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash show
alongside your husband, award winning music producer John Carter Cash.
So what is it feeling like when you're able to
step in that circle to perform at the Opry. What's
it like that vibe?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
So it is unlike anything I've ever experienced in my life.
I went there the first time as a tourist in
two thousand and six, and little did I know I
would be living in Nashville fully immersed in like bluegrass
and country music world after having come from Miami and
Latin music world and just listening to my country heroes.
Like stepping in there, there's you know, that circle. It's
(12:38):
all the old wood. It's a piece of the old
wood from the Riemann, so it is grittier. It has
a lot of scratches on it. It has dense you know,
and it differs from the rest of the stage and
getting in there each time, it feels almost like a portal.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
It's crazy. It feels like like you're channeling to space.
I don't know, it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I love it. Yeah, it's too funny. That is too funny. Well,
you look like a natural and their girl. I I
you you're you were made to be in that circle.
I'm just saying thank you.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I me and the circle have a good time together.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
You guys, do you really know it's a good time out.
I love that. Well, I'm I'm definitely so excited to
see you know what is next for you? I mean,
you've performed, you know, so many of the biggest stages
in the world, major sporting events, and you've had so
many incredible experiences. Is there's still one thing on your
bucket list that you'd love to check off?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Oh? Boy, I know this is dreaming. I know it's dreaming,
but I.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Would love to say the national anthem at a Super Bowl.
I know that's crazy, but I would That's like my
bucket list gig.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I would love that so much.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Honestly, who do we need to petition or contact?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
You would kill it.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
You'd be amazing. Ohnn, thank you, You're welcome. That would
be so so neat and I definitely see see it
happening for you. And before I let you go, I
have some fun questions for you real quick. All right, sure, perfect, perfect. So,
as you mentioned, you're a mom of two. What you know,
would you love like one day to see any of
(14:10):
your kids you know, follow in you know, your footstep,
steps in your husband's footsteps, you know, doing music, or
is that something that you would like them to kind
of stray away from.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Well, honestly, it's a good question because this career comes
with a lot of pros and cons. A lot of
the time it's unreliable. You don't know if a project
will work or not, but all of life, and just
like if you were to do a business startup or
any sort of startup or a new business, it's the
same way.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
It's unpredictable.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
But at the same time, I you know, because I
had parents that were they were they were very big
on education. Like they supported me, they gave me lessons,
but they made sure that I was educated. I feel
the same as long as they have a good head
on their shoulders.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
They finished college for me, I never appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Not not anything against those that shoot to pursue something
different or like a different profession.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I'm not what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
It's just like I really feel like there's value and education.
But I would definitely support whatever they want to do.
So I put my daughter in all kinds of camps
throughout town and also in Florida where I'm from, and
I expose there are different things like robotics and then
music classes, dance classes, and the same with my son.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
He's he just turned four, but.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
I'm exposing him to art and to music and whatever
they desire to do the most is what I'm going
to support absolutely.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
But they have options That's what I love is You're
You're definitely like bringing the different you know, art and
everything else. I think that is just the coolest way
to grow up. You know what I mean is when
you can have your options, you know, enjoy everything.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I think variety is important and you never know how
if you're going to be good at something or fall
in love with something unless you try it, unless your
hands on and feel like I can do this, you know,
otherwise that seed isn't planted. So I try to kind
of and it's very random, all the things that I.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Expose him to.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
But I hope, I hope that makes them well rounded people.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
One can only hope, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
And then another fun question for you while performing, because
it happens to the best of us. Have you ever
had any embarrassing on stage moments that happened or something
that just didn't go as planned?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
While lying, oh yes, I didn't give you, I can
give you one in particular.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
It was years ago, maybe fifteen years ago or more.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I was performing I think the Kiwanis in Miami. It
was like the Cuban American Association. I was performing the
Cuban anthem, but it didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
During that.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
It happened during the songs I was singing in Spanish.
So I had a tube top dress.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Okay, okay, I can only I can only imagine.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
So I lift up my arms and I I had
sort of like a brawl, I think, but it wasn't
a bra per se, and nor was I knew it. It
was like it was like like silicone things gotcha.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Terrible to describe, but like you know those cups.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Right, Yeah, So it looked from far away.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Like I was making all of a sudden, I saw
people pointing and like had a very concerned look on
their face.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
And then I was able to.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Like get it up in time, even though, like you know,
clearly some people were like laughing or pointing. But it
was just one of those terrible moments where it looked
like I was nude even though I wasn't.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
And yeah, so that was it.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, wardrobe malfunctions, I've heard. Yes, absolutely, it happens. You're
at like the mercy of the audience. I feel like,
you know, anything could happen. Oh my goodness, Yes, I've
heard it all. I've heard it all. Don't worry. That's
it's all about how you recover.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
It's all about how you recover, you know. And I
just I kept singing, I kept thinking, my job, so.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Professional, professional. And then the last fun question that I have.
I'm sure you've never been asked before, but I like
to be different. So, if you could be any animal
in the wild or not, what best personality wise do
you feel like? What animal? Best personality wise do you
feel suits you the best? What you say?
Speaker 4 (17:54):
I know this sounds so strange, but I've always, always,
always gravitated towards swans.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Oh, I love.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
I had the chance to see swans and several different places,
and I just I think I love the long next.
I don't know if I'm necessarily a swan. I don't
know that I'm that graceful, but I gravitate toward swans.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Absolutely, I could see it. Oh, I love it. I
love it so much. And thank you so so much
for joining me, and please come back on anytime. Okay,
thank you, thank you so much.

how are you doing. I'm doing wonderful. Thank you so
much for joining me.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Oh absolutely, I'm thrilled.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I've been looking forward to this, you know, and I
want to kind of start off from the beginning. Growing up,
what music did you listen to that you feel really
influenced your style today? Would you say, oh gosh, I was.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Actually the most the two different musical styles, because definitely
a lot of music shaped who I am, as well
as country music and clearly pop as well, you know,
so I am. The first concert I ever saw was
Gloria Stefan. It was a benefit concert for the Hurricane Andrew.
I went through Hurricane Andrew, which is a cat Category
five hurricane in Miami in the second grade. It was
(02:08):
pretty crazy, and I was just I loved her work.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I love seeing her perform on stage. Also, Selena Lostinos
was highly influential to me as well.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
And then with country music, it was Leanne Rimes, it
was Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Garth Brooks, you know.
And then in pop world, I loved Christina Aguilera, Brittany,
all the pop singers, yeah, like Backstreet Boys, and just
like the sensibility of you know, beautiful, catchy songs with
gorgeous melodies.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
You know. So all of that has kind of shaped
who I Am.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I love it. You've named like literally so many of
my favorites.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I love this so much.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's wonderful. And you have a new single titled Cheat
Margarita's Can you tell us a little bit about this single,
the influence behind this one.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yeah, so cheap Margarita's. I have an English version and
a Spanglish version.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
It was written by Erica Ender, Willie Breeding, Jessica and
Frank Ray, and Eric did the Spanish adaptation.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I had a record those nearly.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Finished and we were missing like a couple songs, and
Willie Breeding, who was the co producer on the project
with my husband.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
John Curter Cash, was like, you got to hear this song.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I wrote the song with, you know, several co writers,
and I thought it was just so cool and flirty
and just so realistic about kind of like a flirtatious
exchange at a bar, you know, and about these people
getting together at their special place and flirting over these
Margarita's right. And I thought that that kind of human
interaction like that is cool, you know, because I just
(03:37):
don't feel like every song needs to be incredibly serious
or philosophical all the time.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I think something real like that, like a true.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Exchange between people, is just as palatable.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
So I record the song and I absolutely love it,
you know.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I've gotten to sing it several places around town in Nashville,
and you know, it's definitely gained a buzz online as well,
people sending me all their Margerita videos.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
So I love it. It's such a fun one, it
really is, and it's one that will like stick in
your head, you know, Like the chorus is so much fun,
and I just I can't stop listening to it. It's
such a good song. Oh thank you, You're welcome, You're welcome.
And as you mentioned, you have a Spanglish version as well,
and that's what I love about you is you you
pay tribute to your Cuban American roots as well, So
(04:22):
that's so cool. And people could check out both versions
available on all the streaming sites now right, Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
They can, Yes they can. I guess you know.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I started off in a lot of music industry actually
because of where I was given the opportunity was Miami,
and you know, I kind of just coming back circling
around and doing both and I kind of just love
to create a fusion between both of my worlds, which
are very true to me, very authentic.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It's amazing. And you have a music video out for
this one as well. What was it like filming the
music video?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It was super fun.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Well, my step son Joseph Cash was the director actually,
and we filmed at New These bar and grill at
Tanya Tucker's Tequila Cantina, and they let us shoot when
it was not during operating hours, so hair and makeup
had to come for me at the house like around
one Yeah, I think we got to the venue like
around three thirty in the morning in downtown, So it
(05:19):
was you know, definitely pretty empty on the streets minus
the crew and you know, hair and makeup artists, myself, director, producers,
and it was just like really cool to be at
a bar during that time. And there were extras in
the video and everything, but it was other than the
people working. It was not like an active bar, you know,
(05:39):
so it was it was kind of cool to experience that.
It was a really good time. And then the other
scene is in my bedroom, my actual bedroom.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Oh wow, that's awesome. Yes, the beginning, that's so amazing.
And it looked like you guys did such you know,
you guys did such a great job. But it also
looked like you had fun while doing it, you know
what I mean. You could just tell that the set
was you know, you were having a blast. Genuinely.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Oh, it was so fun.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
We had these Margarita glasses, but clearly they didn't have
any alcohol in them. There's like water, like cut colored water,
and it was just like really fun to be like
singing the song with a Margarita glass in my hand, honestly,
So I.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I love it. I love it. That is so cool
and cheap Margarita's Now was that was recorded at Cash
Cabin Studios as well?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Right, it sure was.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Yes, the majority of it was between True Blue Recordings,
which is Willie Breeding Studio, and the vocals were recorded
at Cash Cabin Studio and most of the live instrumentation
as well.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So yes, it's amazing. I mean, the vocals, production, everything
is just one hundred percent top notch. And it's just
like I said, I can't stop listening to this song.
You're very welcome. I just really can't. And you know
what got me really excited is I've heard that you
have an EP coming out this fall. Is there anything
you can tell us about that yet?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I do.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
So it's the Sunshine State EP for the three singles
that we've had, all the Spanish or Spanglish for are
on it, and I have a single coming out right
next week. Actually it's Daybreak and then the Spanish version
of that, which is oom Break day Daybreak, but just
you on a Espanol so that is coming up, and
for that, it's just it's kind of far removed from
(07:14):
the cheat Margarita's image. And I'm in a canoe on
our lake in Hendersonville, so I love it.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
You got to you gotta check.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Out the Instagram photos of that and the covers me
and a canoe.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
So I'm canoe girl. Now I'm not Margarita's girl. I've switched.
I switch over. With every single, I do something different,
or at least I try to do. And but the
Holy p is great.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
It's been a while since I've released an EP or
an album. It's been since twenty twenties Shine and then
following EP one.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
You know, I do have a little October surprise. I'm
going to release something October.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I don't know if I'm going to release something for Christmas,
so although I do have a Christmas record out there,
and I'm working on an EP two and then eventually
a full album.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
So I'm just recording and recording. Busy Bee also a mom, a.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Wife, trying to juggle all with things. You know, Yes, Wow,
so you you are great at keeping a balance. I
do have to say, well, at least it looks like
that on my end on my old boy, you look
like you got it together, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
That's a funny check out my room here.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
But I understand. I love it. I love it. Well,
I'm so excited you are coming through with the content.
So I'm really looking forward to, of course the new
single coming the EP. And you know, how do you
feel this EP differs from your previous projects?
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Well, this one we worked with a lot of beats,
so Willie Breeding is very good with actual beats.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
I wanted to create a mix between the live instrumentation,
which you know, my my husband John Carter is, you know,
his vibe as a producer's more.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Folky, more country, and then Willy kind of like brought
like those pop beats to a lot of this stuff.
So it moves a lot. This record.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
EP two will do the same, you know. So there's
a rhythmic component on this record that is just really
fun to jam to.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yes, I love it, And I know for music artists,
everyone's creative process looks different. What does it look like
for you?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Well, for me, it's I like bare walls.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Which is oddo so when I'm writing, either by myself
or with a group of people, I don't like a
lot of furniture and distractions.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
My inspiration comes from everywhere.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I could have just like showered, I could have just
been outside in nature. Sometimes I'll hear malady and have
to record in my voice memos, or sometimes I'll write
with a guitar or a keyboard or piano, or sometimes
you know, it's a beat that I hear that starts
the wheels turning for a song.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
So it really varies. And I also really like themes.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I'm a titles person, so I carry a journal around
with loads of song titles. For me, like this, it
starts with the so song titles usually, or if I've
come up with a really catching or somebody has in
a writing room, it's a melody.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
But yes, I value melodies. I value lyrics, or value
all of it. And it's absolutely different every time.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Absolutely I love that what is what's been kind of
like the the fastest song that you ever were able
to put together, one that just kind of came so
naturally to you.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Uh you know, it's it's so funny.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
It's a song that's not released yet, or would you
rather hear about a song that's already been released or
something that's it's.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Either way, you know, either one that you could actually
talk about. I don't want you to, you know, expose.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
No worries.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
In fact, you know, I'm not kidding when I say this,
but Daybreak, the one that's coming out August first, was
very fast to put together. I wrote that together with
Gabby Scoto and Willie Breading and we're just at Willi's
studio in East Nashville, and we were, you know, he
Willy was kind of on the guitar coming up with
some chord progressions, and then and then it just.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I think Jimmy Buffett had just passed away.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
So I had that in my mind, and somehow it
had like little when the song was done to had
like little big town Jimmy Buffett.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Can you chestny vibes? You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
So I was already on that track from hearing the
news coverage of Jimmy Buffett's passing.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh, I'm just I'm really looking forward to this this single.
It sounds incredible and I know it will be. I'm
just I'm a new fan I've been listening to your
whole catalog and you were just incredible. I literally stalked
Spotify a.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Good girl.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, yes, and I hope everyone does as well. Right
after the show, please make sure you check out Cheap Margaritas,
and also make sure you check out all of your
social networking sites as well and your website because more music,
like we said, is coming. So can you give out
your website as well as.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Your social networking Yes, my website is anti Christina Cash
dot com and all of my social networks. I'm pretty
much just Anta Christina Cash.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
It's at for TikTok. I am Anna Christina Cash. Music
on that one.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Perfect everyone, Please make sure you check her out. And
I wanted to ask you because you've performed at the
Opry performing your original music, and you sang for the
one hundred Honors Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash show
alongside your husband, award winning music producer John Carter Cash.
So what is it feeling like when you're able to
step in that circle to perform at the Opry. What's
it like that vibe?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
So it is unlike anything I've ever experienced in my life.
I went there the first time as a tourist in
two thousand and six, and little did I know I
would be living in Nashville fully immersed in like bluegrass
and country music world after having come from Miami and
Latin music world and just listening to my country heroes.
Like stepping in there, there's you know, that circle. It's
(12:38):
all the old wood. It's a piece of the old
wood from the Riemann, so it is grittier. It has
a lot of scratches on it. It has dense you know,
and it differs from the rest of the stage and
getting in there each time, it feels almost like a portal.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
It's crazy. It feels like like you're channeling to space.
I don't know, it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I love it. Yeah, it's too funny. That is too funny. Well,
you look like a natural and their girl. I I
you you're you were made to be in that circle.
I'm just saying thank you.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I me and the circle have a good time together.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
You guys, do you really know it's a good time out.
I love that. Well, I'm I'm definitely so excited to
see you know what is next for you? I mean,
you've performed, you know, so many of the biggest stages
in the world, major sporting events, and you've had so
many incredible experiences. Is there's still one thing on your
bucket list that you'd love to check off?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Oh? Boy, I know this is dreaming. I know it's dreaming,
but I.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Would love to say the national anthem at a Super Bowl.
I know that's crazy, but I would That's like my
bucket list gig.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I would love that so much.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Honestly, who do we need to petition or contact?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
You would kill it.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
You'd be amazing. Ohnn, thank you, You're welcome. That would
be so so neat and I definitely see see it
happening for you. And before I let you go, I
have some fun questions for you real quick. All right, sure, perfect, perfect. So,
as you mentioned, you're a mom of two. What you know,
would you love like one day to see any of
(14:10):
your kids you know, follow in you know, your footstep,
steps in your husband's footsteps, you know, doing music, or
is that something that you would like them to kind
of stray away from.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Well, honestly, it's a good question because this career comes
with a lot of pros and cons. A lot of
the time it's unreliable. You don't know if a project
will work or not, but all of life, and just
like if you were to do a business startup or
any sort of startup or a new business, it's the
same way.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
It's unpredictable.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
But at the same time, I you know, because I
had parents that were they were they were very big
on education. Like they supported me, they gave me lessons,
but they made sure that I was educated. I feel
the same as long as they have a good head
on their shoulders.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
They finished college for me, I never appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Not not anything against those that shoot to pursue something
different or like a different profession.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I'm not what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
It's just like I really feel like there's value and education.
But I would definitely support whatever they want to do.
So I put my daughter in all kinds of camps
throughout town and also in Florida where I'm from, and
I expose there are different things like robotics and then
music classes, dance classes, and the same with my son.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
He's he just turned four, but.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
I'm exposing him to art and to music and whatever
they desire to do the most is what I'm going
to support absolutely.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
But they have options That's what I love is You're
You're definitely like bringing the different you know, art and
everything else. I think that is just the coolest way
to grow up. You know what I mean is when
you can have your options, you know, enjoy everything.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I think variety is important and you never know how
if you're going to be good at something or fall
in love with something unless you try it, unless your
hands on and feel like I can do this, you know,
otherwise that seed isn't planted. So I try to kind
of and it's very random, all the things that I.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Expose him to.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
But I hope, I hope that makes them well rounded people.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
One can only hope, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
And then another fun question for you while performing, because
it happens to the best of us. Have you ever
had any embarrassing on stage moments that happened or something
that just didn't go as planned?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
While lying, oh yes, I didn't give you, I can
give you one in particular.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
It was years ago, maybe fifteen years ago or more.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I was performing I think the Kiwanis in Miami. It
was like the Cuban American Association. I was performing the
Cuban anthem, but it didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
During that.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
It happened during the songs I was singing in Spanish.
So I had a tube top dress.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Okay, okay, I can only I can only imagine.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
So I lift up my arms and I I had
sort of like a brawl, I think, but it wasn't
a bra per se, and nor was I knew it. It
was like it was like like silicone things gotcha.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Terrible to describe, but like you know those cups.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Right, Yeah, So it looked from far away.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Like I was making all of a sudden, I saw
people pointing and like had a very concerned look on
their face.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
And then I was able to.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Like get it up in time, even though, like you know,
clearly some people were like laughing or pointing. But it
was just one of those terrible moments where it looked
like I was nude even though I wasn't.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
And yeah, so that was it.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, wardrobe malfunctions, I've heard. Yes, absolutely, it happens. You're
at like the mercy of the audience. I feel like,
you know, anything could happen. Oh my goodness, Yes, I've
heard it all. I've heard it all. Don't worry. That's
it's all about how you recover.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
It's all about how you recover, you know. And I
just I kept singing, I kept thinking, my job, so.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Professional, professional. And then the last fun question that I have.
I'm sure you've never been asked before, but I like
to be different. So, if you could be any animal
in the wild or not, what best personality wise do
you feel like? What animal? Best personality wise do you
feel suits you the best? What you say?
Speaker 4 (17:54):
I know this sounds so strange, but I've always, always,
always gravitated towards swans.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Oh, I love.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
I had the chance to see swans and several different places,
and I just I think I love the long next.
I don't know if I'm necessarily a swan. I don't
know that I'm that graceful, but I gravitate toward swans.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Absolutely, I could see it. Oh, I love it. I
love it so much. And thank you so so much
for joining me, and please come back on anytime. Okay,
thank you, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
