Nice Horse... Sew Puzzled

Terry corals Brandi and Katie from Nice Horse to discuss their recent nominations for the Country Music Alberta Awards, their experiences in the music industry, and how they have both embraced being the coolest nerds in country music. They share personal stories about their journey as a duo, the importance of live performances, and the impact of community support during tough times, including a recent gear theft incident. The duo also reflects on the role of women in music, their aspirations for the future and how important the two members who left Nice Horse still are to them today. Two of the funnest people I have had the pleasure to meet in the music industry!
