I am delighted to welcome back singer-songwriter Laura Bryna to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.
The Nashville-based country rock artist continues her rise as one of the most exciting voices in today’s music scene. Known for her powerhouse vocals, larger-than-life presence, and raw, emotional storytelling, Laura blends bold country roots with pop and rock influences to create music that feels both timeless and fresh. This past June, she dropped “Blue Jean Crazy” during the CMA Fest Week in Nashville, where she brought the house down with performances at both the Fan Fair X Spotlight Stage and the Opera Plaza.
Earlier in 2025, Laura Bryna released the genre-bending Cambo-produced “Painkiller,” “RISE,” an empowering classic-country collaboration, and genre-defying artist Common Tribe. On August 22, she dropped a remix of “Painkiller” that was produced by global DJ + producer Sam Feldt, which positioned her at the forefront of the rising Country-EDM crossover moment.
She also continued to deliver superb live performances. Laura performed at LA Pride in Los Angeles and sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” in front of 30,000 fans at a sold-out MLS game in Columbus, Ohio. She also made appearances on NBC’s Today in Nashville and ABC’s Good Morning Nashville, which recognized her as an Artist to Watch.
Laura also commits to giving back to her community. She performed for troops overseas and actively supports organizations like Homes For Our Troops, Musicians on Call, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a cause close to her heart.
On this edition of Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar, Laura Bryna caught us up on what she has been up to, shared the stories behind her most streamed songs on Spotify including “The Night We Met,” her cover of Joan Jett’s “I Hate Myself for Loving You,” and spoke about “RISE,” a collaboration with Common Tribe.

a big family here.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Thank you, absolutely so. As the last time we spoke
was over a year ago, So how have you gon
as recording artists since our last conversation in the beginning
of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Oh my gosh, we have been doing so much. It's
been so great, so creative all the time. I've been
doing a lot of writing camps and you know, just
really being so creative. Like you know, I was newer
to the writing space, the songwriting space, and now I've
been really working with some great artists and songwriters and
things like that, and and really getting out there and saying, Okay,
(02:01):
what does Laura want to say next? Or what kind
of song do we want to write? Is it about it,
is it emotional, is it up tempo, attitude, sassy, or
or is it just a feel good summer song. You know.
That's kind of how Blue Dream Crazy came about too.
So so yeah, it's been it's been great. And we've
been doing a ton of shows, been traveling all over
and we're coming to Sturgis in the beginning of August,
(02:22):
which is really awesome. So it's Oh, just definitely a
dream come true, just playing, getting really playing all these
shows and getting to see all of our Briani acts
out there. You know, it's really a big family and
and just supporting one another, you know, whether we're going
through tough times or good times or bad time, whatever
it is, it's just a big family and and I
(02:44):
really love that connection. So yeah, I'm just really excited.
So many things coming up and in the studio all
the time when we're not on the road. So it's
just creative, creative absolutely absolutely, so living a dream.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Absolutely, we're all living in dream here in our own
and our own dreams too. And I gotta say this,
I never seen like these country music like on all
country music aside, there's not there's not a lot of
like like passionate band groups like I know, the Swift these,
but they have moved over to the pop world. And
I gotta say the Briniacs are very are a very
(03:21):
strong group.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Oh we're a very strong group. We you know, we
love each other and we're so supportive of one another.
And yeah, you know, the dream don't happen if you
don't have your Briniacs, you know it really it takes
a village. You know, yes, it's my name or it's
my face or whatever, my voice or whatever, but really
it's it's everybody. Everybody makes this happen. You know. It
(03:43):
definitely takes a team, a village, you know, from the
Briniacs to hairdressers to make up for it, like all
different things, to my band, you know, that makes the
songs come alive. Producers, songwriters, what's my vision? Where does
l what does Laura want to say? They bring it alive,
and they bring me alive, and and uh, you know,
it creates the dream. And I am so honest and
(04:06):
so blessed and so grateful and to be able to
live this dream and just let let Laura be Laura.
You got to be authentic, You got to be you,
because that's, you know what everybody knows.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
We are lying yea one hundred percent. I'gree with you
on that. I would love to talk to you about
some of the songs that we've that you released since
our last conversation. I want to start off with a
song that we talked about before we started our podcast,
Time to Say Goodbye. It was you. As of this recording,
usaid have a five hundred and eighty eight thousand Spotify streams,
(04:37):
and I got to say that was a really good
heartbreaker and I love that it was just you and
the guitar, and that was basically it.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah. You know, it's one of those when you know,
I love our sassy and attitude and fun and edgy,
but I also like to show another side of me,
you know that people really get to see that raw,
stripped down emotional side of me. And this song. I
sat down with Cambo and Uncle Lely and Johnny Price
and I was like, I really want a ballad that
(05:07):
people just feel that they just feel every word so emotional.
And I'm a huge Chris Stapleton fan and I love
him and every word you feel that that he sings,
that comes out of his mouth, it's just like, oh
and uh. That was a song that I really wanted
to create that emotion, that sense of connection and really
(05:29):
to be able to help someone through a tough time
because you're you're sending time to say goodbye, and and
yet it's tough and it's hard, and you're angry and
you're grieving in all these different emotions. But you're gonna
be okay and you're gonna get through it, So that
was really important to me to get that point across too.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I would love to see you do a do it
with Stapleton and so.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Let's just put it out there. Want to you want
to do it, I would love to do it through
that with them. We can do it in if you
want to. Thank you, I'll be there.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Absolutely, it'd be wonderful to hear you and Stapleton together vocally.
It'd be absolutely out of this world.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Oh my gosh, I would yeah, Oh my god, I
love that. Putting it out there, everybody make it happen.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Absolutely. So speaking of your sassy side, you covered Joan Jets,
I hate myself for loving you one point two five
million Spotify streams. I think you did Joe Jeff Brown
with that cover.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Thank you so much. I so appreciate that, you know,
and it was it was one of those songs that
I was like, when I cover a song just like
the Night We Met or something like that, I always
like to, you know, pay homage to the to the original,
but also make it my own in my own different way.
And but always I want to make the artist proud
(06:52):
because honestly, if you just do it the same way,
there's no reason to do it, you know, but it's
such a classic song and Jone Jet is amazing. She
has always stuck to who she is. She's so authentic.
This is who I am, and she's not you know,
she ain't making any shit about her like this is
this is what it is. And and I love her
(07:14):
and you know, we when we shot we went and
shot the video on the Neon Boneyard in Las Vegas,
but the sign graveyard, it was so awesome and you
really got to be this badass and it was like yes,
and you're like taken on the world. It just it really,
I feel like I went rockstar twenty million times. Like
it just you just felt like you were a rock
(07:35):
star in the middle of this sign bone yard with
a hard rock cat bag guitar behind you, and you're
like yes, and I slammed the microphone down. I think
that director was like, oh no, wait, but that's mine.
But uh, it ended up being okay.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
That I know you have a mic drop, mom. But however,
I feel for you to know that director because Mike
Scott's a lot these days.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Oh yeah, and that was like an antique one too,
and you're like, oh yeah, it was like, but it's
in the moment. You gotta have a micro roll it
down and walk it.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, you might need to have like a plastic microphone.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I know, I think we might need to invest in
the plastic one. Amazon.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Absolutely absolutely so you brought then we met. I did
not know that was a cover.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Oh my gosh, I love that you're saying that. Thank you.
Yeah lord, heuron yes. So it was from a Netflix
show and it got so popular and and I just
was so excited, Like I heard the song and I
was like, you know what, I feel like we could
strip it down and do like a country kind of
Americana version of it, and uh yeah, lord, you're here
(08:46):
on I mean incredible, I uh yeah. And and so
I got together with Emma O'Malley is one of my
fantastic gitar players. He produced it, and uh, we just
I really wanted to show that sensitive side but also
pay homage to the original. I mean, the original is
a classic. I absolutely love it. And you know, we
(09:07):
put a cello on it. You know, cello to me
is that sadness and it has that cry to it.
And then you've got to steal guitar in there too,
and it's just to me. It just melts you. And
the lyrics of that song are just absolutely stunning. So yeah,
thank you. I love that you didn't know it was
the cover, So thank you. I appreciate that. That's a
(09:28):
huge album.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You're so welcome. I like it when people take songs
on there from their own and I have to point
to point six million Spotify Ice Dreams cannot be wrong.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Well, thank you. No, I love that people are loving
it and it's been really sweet. You know, the Internet
can be a great thing and it can be a
bad thing, ye know. So it's nice when people are
are on your side about that, because when they ain't,
it ain't fun.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Believe me, I've been on the other side of its fine.
I've learned what was one of my biggest lessons in
my career. Maybe I'll revisit it in my fifteenth and
fifteen years. However, this is not my celebration. We're here
to talk about you, Laura.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So oh, it's a celebration of everything, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
There'll be keep an eye on folks for twenty twenty six,
that's the fifteenth anniversary. But however, we got to talk
about the here and now in the past. So you
recently had the opportunity to attend the twenty twenty five
CMA Fest and what were some of your favorite highlights
from this event.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You know, CMA is accestival. It's just such a wonderful
event because you get to be with your fans or
I call my family the Bryaniacs, and we get to
be one together, like one on one, and you're really
creating that intimate connection, and you know, because I don't,
I don't get to live the stream without them, So
you know, I'm so eternally grateful to them and to
(10:52):
you and to everybody that allows the stream to happen.
But really, you know, we got to perform there, We
got to do a bunch of interviews and things like that,
and that's actually where we came out and we debuted
Blue Jeen Crazy, which is really fun, and we got
to see the reaction of all the different fans and people.
By the second chorus, third chorus, everybody was like singing
(11:13):
along and there's to me, I love a song that's
got gang vocals, So it just everybody was like coming
along and singing along as those were like it was great,
but you know, when you write a song, you put
it out there and you just never know what people
are going to think about it, and to debut it
at CMA Music and Music festl it's just like one
of those I was like, Okay, this is chancey. I
(11:34):
don't know should we do this or not? And I'm like,
you know what, We're going to do it, and so
we did, and it just seems and now it's going
to radio and all those things. It just has gotten
such a great response. I think people really relate to that,
you know, that song being just so you know that
small town. Everybody knows everybody from a small town, and
that's what CMA Music Festival feels like too. Every It's
(11:55):
just that intimate connection.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
So yeah, absolutely, And the thing is with that's with
that small town with feelings like everybody knows everybody. Of course,
right at the same time, going back to making the
going back to the risk, like the risk, I think
it paid off because not only that people, it's not
just Nashville. People come from all across the country and
even some parts.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Of the world.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And that's like saying, Okay, Laura Brian had just dropped
a new song, so at CMA best So that's definitely
top memory, because the thing is, I'd rather have people
like talk about moments like there's so many events that
happen in CMA, and have someone drop a song out there.
It's like very risky. But however, if it's like what
(12:40):
thet with what you were telling me, with the everyone's
reaction to it, it was like a great reward.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah. And you know, like as my parents always say
to me, they're like, as my parents call me blue,
They're like, you know, you've never been one to play
it safe. You always take chances and and take a risk.
And you know what, that's what life's all about. You
to take a chance. You got to take a risk.
And I thought, you know, I want to do this.
I want to debut that this is this is a
special moment to be with the briny X and create
(13:09):
new fans and all that. And I was like, this
is a special place. I mean to be in the
heart of country music Nashville, Tennessee and to showcase your
new song that And we wrote it at one of
those songwriting camp Actually it was one of the last
songs we wrote. I can't say that everybody was totally
coherent when the song was written, but I will, but
(13:31):
all of us we're talking about coming from a small town,
and it was like, you know, Sam, who knows Bob
who works at the gas station, and then the other
one works at the laundromat, Like everybody knows that, and
everybody supports each other. So like the Brini acts to me,
it's like, you know, we support each other when you
know things are down, and we build each other back
up where things are great, where they're celebrate that. We're
(13:54):
just frhying. Huh, must be a songwriter, but yeah, like
I think it's that kind of thing. And so to me,
and I got to perform at the Spotlight Stage at
CMA Music Festival, which was so I mean, that's such
a monumental thing to do. Uh. So it was just
really exciting and what a place to java song.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
All right, and it's amazing about like it's amazing to
have a spot in the Spotlight stage and like basically showcases. Okay,
take note, guys. You maybe see these people suited and
you think, and who knows they can have the potential
to grass over?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yes for sure. You know music's going in all different
directions now and every there's so many gender blurring, blending
all whatever, however you want to say it, or slushing
as I like to say, But you know, there's no
this is this. It's just everything is like this now.
So everybody's marrying and all these different things. You know.
(14:49):
I think we've all got different influences and that's what
makes us us.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Absolutely we all have those different influences. And speaking of influences,
I know that I know that we talked about the
small town and everything that is there, and like with
Bluechin Crazy, so how so the story is not just
a small town, but can you describe the other parts
of the story to my audience?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Of course, So Blue Jean Crazy, I thought I'd wear
my little blue jean jacket today, thank you. I like
the whole puffy sleeve. It kind of is like really fun.
But yeah, so the song, it's really it is all
about the small town feel and everybody knowing each other.
But it's also, if you want to say, about pride
(15:33):
and loving being from the United States and loving America too.
We're all red, white and blue Jean crazy. So so yeah,
it's got that flag waving thing. But but yeah, we
really wanted to create this fun party celebrating that small
town feel. And what better way to do it than
small town USA.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Absolutely, and by the way, with the America is a
two hundred and fiftieth birthday coming up that could also
be perfect segue into that could be perfect to segue into,
like God bless the USA, so you can have the
You're glugen crazy, followed by party in USA, and then
America the Greenlands, God Blessed the USA, and then Ray
Charles America Beautiful, and then finally Whitney Houston starts Spangled.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Band, right John, Awesome?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Alrighty, So please anyone that's planning the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary taking note of that playlist's request.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yes, definitely, and feel free to join in the outro
because it's a whole gang vocal thing.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I definitely need to get find myself a blue jeans
jacket or something like that.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Now I have to tell you I have my flatpants
and my little little jommy socks on too, but you know,
and my flippers that are falling apart, but we won't lie.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I've also got to say that, yeah, because the thing is,
I've never it's rare to have lujin jacket. Like I
remember something happening in the nineties, but like the I
think everyone has a pair of blue jeans and maybe
believe it, leue jean jackets be perfect.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, you gotta have, you gotta have. You can dress
it up, you can dress it down, you can wear
it with your jomms like I am, alrighty.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So we got to talk about some of the challenge
to say that, you like have an over game since
the last time we spoke. So how was there any
roadbooks and how you and your team overcame those obstacles.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
You know, I think in life there's always roadblocks and
things like that, you know, I uh, like we were
talking about the internet. You know, sometimes people can say
why does she look like this? Why does she wear
her hair like that? Just why is she like litter
and don la la, you know, all diferent things, and
it's and you gotta be you got to be you.
You know, you've got to be the most authentic you. You've
(17:44):
got to be the best you you can be. And
you know, sometimes that does get to you and that's
hard to swallow and you're like, well maybe I should
do this or maybe I should you know, and it's
like and then you have to take a step back
and you're like, no, I feel good about myself or
this is what you know, this is who I am,
and and take it or leave it and you can
rip me apart or you can all leave up. So yeah,
(18:06):
there's different things. But whether it's it can be a
song or music and different thing, you know, uhat actually does?
Something happened the other night where some at a show
when a guy was not coherent and he was like,
you know what, I want to hear a rock song.
And he's like, this doesn't have to be country, why,
you know, we just hear rock. And I'm like, I
(18:28):
got a rock song for you. So I turned to
the guy and the guys were like, oh my god,
what is she going to do? How is she going
to handle this? And I'm like, I said, you know what,
we have a great rock song. And it's a song
called I'm on Fire. And it's kind of a little
bit of an ef you kin of song because it's
like it is sassy, it's attitude, but it's like, you know,
it's about people trying to take you down or try
(18:50):
to put you in a box. And you know what,
I'm just this phoenix rising and I'm like I'm on
fire and you're not going to stop me. I got
this you know kind of thing, and and it was
money because after I was like, and how was that?
And he was like, yeah, that's great. He's like, you know,
I love that, and everybody behind like she's great, you know,
and they were saying, like everybody's all in his face.
(19:11):
And then he walked out and the guys were like,
you've handled that like a Fox store. You were so great,
you know. But of course, then of course afterwards, I
like was cheering in the car. I was like, oh
my god, you think it's okay. I mean, you know,
I'm human. We have moments and it's like, you know,
I tried my hardest to keep it together, but you know,
(19:32):
there's it does get to you. You know. I'm very sensitive.
I'm a lot better than I used to be. I'm
still working on it, but but yeah, there's always there's
challenges and things like that. You know. On a personal level,
I had my brother passed away somebody, he was killed
in the car accident. So that was a hard thing.
And then I was like I had two days later,
(19:52):
I had a show, and I was like, do I
do this show or do I not you know, and
you know, there's a lot of schools of thought, what
what do you do? You know, that kind of thing.
But you know, I know that my brother is there
with me through everything, through thick and thin, and I
I love him. I miss him dearly. I can't even
believe that he's not here. So but yeah, so life
(20:15):
throws you challenges, life throws you different things. And as
an artist and as a songwriter, those are the things
that you you draw from, you know, those moments and
those sensitive times and those things. You know, that's what
that's what makes a good song too, where you can
just get it out and let people know, you know,
(20:37):
as the Brian I said, they're like, you know, Laura,
it's okay not to be okay. And I had to
learn that, like I mean, even going through stuff with
my dad when my dad was sick in the hospital
and they were like, lord's okay not to be okay.
And I was like, you know, you're right, it's okay,
and I like it. You don't always have to be uh,
you know, or you know, you're a human, You're real,
(21:00):
and that's what people can relate to that and that's
what you know, you pour your heart out into song,
as they say, and it's been good for me. It's
been cathartic, I guess that's the word. And uh but yeah,
so there's definitely been some challenges and uh yeah, but
I'm looking forward to to all the more fun to
come and I can't wait to do more shows and
(21:20):
get out and see everybody and make more fans and
more Brian Yax than all of the above. And I
so love being here with you. Thank you, Jo. That's
probably like an emotional, drawing out answer.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I gotta say this because you and I have been
that you touched a lot of big things that I
can relate with. It's like, when you have so many
frustrating things going on, it's just been so and I
think when you have someone, when you have some people
that I'm as you know, I support my guests by
one hundred and twenty percent, and like with especially on
shows with like the Challenge and anything, and when when
(21:53):
I see people go after my favorites, I'm like, I'm
so tempted to hit that tongue, give them a tone
lashing right what you At the same time, or like
with all the rise of anti Semitism, it's that definitely
sticks scared hell out of me, makes me so angry
and everything right, So yeah, so it's been like the
times I'm like saying I want to do that, but
like I even had a friend of mine say, well,
(22:13):
you got to be I had some families that families
and friends and say, oh, Jacob, you need to stop
posting such hard things because sometimes you are kind of
risking your career because sometimes you have exaverse and I'm
trying to have it under control, but like on the outside,
like I got to say this on personal note, Like
it reminded me so much. When my grandpa Ralph passed away,
(22:33):
I had a couple of days after the funeral, I
had to go back to work and I'm like, okay,
you got you have to be stay strong because that's
what your my grandpa wore do.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Right, But you have to do and you have to
do what's right for you. You know. It's like, but
there is like people the Internet, it is it's a
blessing and it's a curse. It's just you know, people
can take you down in two seconds. But then like
it takes what's crazy to me is it takes more
effort and time to be mean, But why be mean?
(23:05):
Like m then don't say anything at all? You know,
it's like, yeah, I mean, why why do that? You know?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Absolutely well, we got to leave the haters in their
dusk and talk about some stuff because on October first,
you have a big surprise. You have a big collaboration coming.

a crazy So August.

at the hotel. Oh I'm in. So I totally get it.

did that collaboration come about?
Speaker 2 (24:15):

Americana voice. I know he loves his outlaw country too.
So and we're gonna do it. We definitely were talking
about we definitely want to do an edgy, up tempo,
fun rocking out kind of out of all things. But
it's a He's got this great voice and together it's
a song about you know, when life is you know,
(24:38):
wants to take you down, or you're going through some
crap or whatever it may be, you know, you find
your strength and you pick yourself up and you put
your best boots on and you rise to that occasion.
And uh, you know, he has this great verse and
then we sing the choruses together and I have a
(24:58):
verse too, and and it's just this magical song. It's
wild because when we put it all together, like as
writers and then we and then being produced by Scatt,
and we sat down with Cheap and Zach Garner and
we were all writing this kind of thing and it
was just like, oh my god, I think we have
something Like it's just one of those things that you're
(25:20):
like ding. It just was one of those magical songs.
And you know, right now where everything is all up
in the air, and it doesn't matter what political thing
you feel or you don't like or you love or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Thank you, absolutely so. As the last time we spoke
was over a year ago, So how have you gon
as recording artists since our last conversation in the beginning
of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Oh my gosh, we have been doing so much. It's
been so great, so creative all the time. I've been
doing a lot of writing camps and you know, just
really being so creative. Like you know, I was newer
to the writing space, the songwriting space, and now I've
been really working with some great artists and songwriters and
things like that, and and really getting out there and saying, Okay,
(02:01):
what does Laura want to say next? Or what kind
of song do we want to write? Is it about it,
is it emotional, is it up tempo, attitude, sassy, or
or is it just a feel good summer song. You know.
That's kind of how Blue Dream Crazy came about too.
So so yeah, it's been it's been great. And we've
been doing a ton of shows, been traveling all over
and we're coming to Sturgis in the beginning of August,
(02:22):
which is really awesome. So it's Oh, just definitely a
dream come true, just playing, getting really playing all these
shows and getting to see all of our Briani acts
out there. You know, it's really a big family and
and just supporting one another, you know, whether we're going
through tough times or good times or bad time, whatever
it is, it's just a big family and and I
(02:44):
really love that connection. So yeah, I'm just really excited.
So many things coming up and in the studio all
the time when we're not on the road. So it's
just creative, creative absolutely absolutely, so living a dream.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Absolutely, we're all living in dream here in our own
and our own dreams too. And I gotta say this,
I never seen like these country music like on all
country music aside, there's not there's not a lot of
like like passionate band groups like I know, the Swift these,
but they have moved over to the pop world. And
I gotta say the Briniacs are very are a very
(03:21):
strong group.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Oh we're a very strong group. We you know, we
love each other and we're so supportive of one another.
And yeah, you know, the dream don't happen if you
don't have your Briniacs, you know it really it takes
a village. You know, yes, it's my name or it's
my face or whatever, my voice or whatever, but really
it's it's everybody. Everybody makes this happen. You know. It
(03:43):
definitely takes a team, a village, you know, from the
Briniacs to hairdressers to make up for it, like all
different things, to my band, you know, that makes the
songs come alive. Producers, songwriters, what's my vision? Where does
l what does Laura want to say? They bring it alive,
and they bring me alive, and and uh, you know,
it creates the dream. And I am so honest and
(04:06):
so blessed and so grateful and to be able to
live this dream and just let let Laura be Laura.
You got to be authentic, You got to be you,
because that's, you know what everybody knows.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
We are lying yea one hundred percent. I'gree with you
on that. I would love to talk to you about
some of the songs that we've that you released since
our last conversation. I want to start off with a
song that we talked about before we started our podcast,
Time to Say Goodbye. It was you. As of this recording,
usaid have a five hundred and eighty eight thousand Spotify streams,
(04:37):
and I got to say that was a really good
heartbreaker and I love that it was just you and
the guitar, and that was basically it.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah. You know, it's one of those when you know,
I love our sassy and attitude and fun and edgy,
but I also like to show another side of me,
you know that people really get to see that raw,
stripped down emotional side of me. And this song. I
sat down with Cambo and Uncle Lely and Johnny Price
and I was like, I really want a ballad that
(05:07):
people just feel that they just feel every word so emotional.
And I'm a huge Chris Stapleton fan and I love
him and every word you feel that that he sings,
that comes out of his mouth, it's just like, oh
and uh. That was a song that I really wanted
to create that emotion, that sense of connection and really
(05:29):
to be able to help someone through a tough time
because you're you're sending time to say goodbye, and and
yet it's tough and it's hard, and you're angry and
you're grieving in all these different emotions. But you're gonna
be okay and you're gonna get through it, So that
was really important to me to get that point across too.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I would love to see you do a do it
with Stapleton and so.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Let's just put it out there. Want to you want
to do it, I would love to do it through
that with them. We can do it in if you
want to. Thank you, I'll be there.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Absolutely, it'd be wonderful to hear you and Stapleton together vocally.
It'd be absolutely out of this world.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Oh my gosh, I would yeah, Oh my god, I
love that. Putting it out there, everybody make it happen.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Absolutely. So speaking of your sassy side, you covered Joan Jets,
I hate myself for loving you one point two five
million Spotify streams. I think you did Joe Jeff Brown
with that cover.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Thank you so much. I so appreciate that, you know,
and it was it was one of those songs that
I was like, when I cover a song just like
the Night We Met or something like that, I always
like to, you know, pay homage to the to the original,
but also make it my own in my own different way.
And but always I want to make the artist proud
(06:52):
because honestly, if you just do it the same way,
there's no reason to do it, you know, but it's
such a classic song and Jone Jet is amazing. She
has always stuck to who she is. She's so authentic.
This is who I am, and she's not you know,
she ain't making any shit about her like this is
this is what it is. And and I love her
(07:14):
and you know, we when we shot we went and
shot the video on the Neon Boneyard in Las Vegas,
but the sign graveyard, it was so awesome and you
really got to be this badass and it was like yes,
and you're like taken on the world. It just it really,
I feel like I went rockstar twenty million times. Like
it just you just felt like you were a rock
(07:35):
star in the middle of this sign bone yard with
a hard rock cat bag guitar behind you, and you're
like yes, and I slammed the microphone down. I think
that director was like, oh no, wait, but that's mine.
But uh, it ended up being okay.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
That I know you have a mic drop, mom. But however,
I feel for you to know that director because Mike
Scott's a lot these days.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Oh yeah, and that was like an antique one too,
and you're like, oh yeah, it was like, but it's
in the moment. You gotta have a micro roll it
down and walk it.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, you might need to have like a plastic microphone.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I know, I think we might need to invest in
the plastic one. Amazon.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Absolutely absolutely so you brought then we met. I did
not know that was a cover.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Oh my gosh, I love that you're saying that. Thank you.
Yeah lord, heuron yes. So it was from a Netflix
show and it got so popular and and I just
was so excited, Like I heard the song and I
was like, you know what, I feel like we could
strip it down and do like a country kind of
Americana version of it, and uh yeah, lord, you're here
(08:46):
on I mean incredible, I uh yeah. And and so
I got together with Emma O'Malley is one of my
fantastic gitar players. He produced it, and uh, we just
I really wanted to show that sensitive side but also
pay homage to the original. I mean, the original is
a classic. I absolutely love it. And you know, we
(09:07):
put a cello on it. You know, cello to me
is that sadness and it has that cry to it.
And then you've got to steal guitar in there too,
and it's just to me. It just melts you. And
the lyrics of that song are just absolutely stunning. So yeah,
thank you. I love that you didn't know it was
the cover, So thank you. I appreciate that. That's a
(09:28):
huge album.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You're so welcome. I like it when people take songs
on there from their own and I have to point
to point six million Spotify Ice Dreams cannot be wrong.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Well, thank you. No, I love that people are loving
it and it's been really sweet. You know, the Internet
can be a great thing and it can be a
bad thing, ye know. So it's nice when people are
are on your side about that, because when they ain't,
it ain't fun.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Believe me, I've been on the other side of its fine.
I've learned what was one of my biggest lessons in
my career. Maybe I'll revisit it in my fifteenth and
fifteen years. However, this is not my celebration. We're here
to talk about you, Laura.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So oh, it's a celebration of everything, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
There'll be keep an eye on folks for twenty twenty six,
that's the fifteenth anniversary. But however, we got to talk
about the here and now in the past. So you
recently had the opportunity to attend the twenty twenty five
CMA Fest and what were some of your favorite highlights
from this event.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You know, CMA is accestival. It's just such a wonderful
event because you get to be with your fans or
I call my family the Bryaniacs, and we get to
be one together, like one on one, and you're really
creating that intimate connection, and you know, because I don't,
I don't get to live the stream without them, So
you know, I'm so eternally grateful to them and to
(10:52):
you and to everybody that allows the stream to happen.
But really, you know, we got to perform there, We
got to do a bunch of interviews and things like that,
and that's actually where we came out and we debuted
Blue Jeen Crazy, which is really fun, and we got
to see the reaction of all the different fans and people.
By the second chorus, third chorus, everybody was like singing
(11:13):
along and there's to me, I love a song that's
got gang vocals, So it just everybody was like coming
along and singing along as those were like it was great,
but you know, when you write a song, you put
it out there and you just never know what people
are going to think about it, and to debut it
at CMA Music and Music festl it's just like one
of those I was like, Okay, this is chancey. I
(11:34):
don't know should we do this or not? And I'm like,
you know what, We're going to do it, and so
we did, and it just seems and now it's going
to radio and all those things. It just has gotten
such a great response. I think people really relate to that,
you know, that song being just so you know that
small town. Everybody knows everybody from a small town, and
that's what CMA Music Festival feels like too. Every It's
(11:55):
just that intimate connection.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
So yeah, absolutely, And the thing is with that's with
that small town with feelings like everybody knows everybody. Of course,
right at the same time, going back to making the
going back to the risk, like the risk, I think
it paid off because not only that people, it's not
just Nashville. People come from all across the country and
even some parts.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Of the world.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And that's like saying, Okay, Laura Brian had just dropped
a new song, so at CMA best So that's definitely
top memory, because the thing is, I'd rather have people
like talk about moments like there's so many events that
happen in CMA, and have someone drop a song out there.
It's like very risky. But however, if it's like what
(12:40):
thet with what you were telling me, with the everyone's
reaction to it, it was like a great reward.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah. And you know, like as my parents always say
to me, they're like, as my parents call me blue,
They're like, you know, you've never been one to play
it safe. You always take chances and and take a risk.
And you know what, that's what life's all about. You
to take a chance. You got to take a risk.
And I thought, you know, I want to do this.
I want to debut that this is this is a
special moment to be with the briny X and create
(13:09):
new fans and all that. And I was like, this
is a special place. I mean to be in the
heart of country music Nashville, Tennessee and to showcase your
new song that And we wrote it at one of
those songwriting camp Actually it was one of the last
songs we wrote. I can't say that everybody was totally
coherent when the song was written, but I will, but
(13:31):
all of us we're talking about coming from a small town,
and it was like, you know, Sam, who knows Bob
who works at the gas station, and then the other
one works at the laundromat, Like everybody knows that, and
everybody supports each other. So like the Brini acts to me,
it's like, you know, we support each other when you
know things are down, and we build each other back
up where things are great, where they're celebrate that. We're
(13:54):
just frhying. Huh, must be a songwriter, but yeah, like
I think it's that kind of thing. And so to me,
and I got to perform at the Spotlight Stage at
CMA Music Festival, which was so I mean, that's such
a monumental thing to do. Uh. So it was just
really exciting and what a place to java song.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
All right, and it's amazing about like it's amazing to
have a spot in the Spotlight stage and like basically showcases. Okay,
take note, guys. You maybe see these people suited and
you think, and who knows they can have the potential
to grass over?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yes for sure. You know music's going in all different
directions now and every there's so many gender blurring, blending
all whatever, however you want to say it, or slushing
as I like to say, But you know, there's no
this is this. It's just everything is like this now.
So everybody's marrying and all these different things. You know.
(14:49):
I think we've all got different influences and that's what
makes us us.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Absolutely we all have those different influences. And speaking of influences,
I know that I know that we talked about the
small town and everything that is there, and like with
Bluechin Crazy, so how so the story is not just
a small town, but can you describe the other parts
of the story to my audience?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Of course, So Blue Jean Crazy, I thought I'd wear
my little blue jean jacket today, thank you. I like
the whole puffy sleeve. It kind of is like really fun.
But yeah, so the song, it's really it is all
about the small town feel and everybody knowing each other.
But it's also, if you want to say, about pride
(15:33):
and loving being from the United States and loving America too.
We're all red, white and blue Jean crazy. So so yeah,
it's got that flag waving thing. But but yeah, we
really wanted to create this fun party celebrating that small
town feel. And what better way to do it than
small town USA.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Absolutely, and by the way, with the America is a
two hundred and fiftieth birthday coming up that could also
be perfect segue into that could be perfect to segue into,
like God bless the USA, so you can have the
You're glugen crazy, followed by party in USA, and then
America the Greenlands, God Blessed the USA, and then Ray
Charles America Beautiful, and then finally Whitney Houston starts Spangled.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Band, right John, Awesome?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Alrighty, So please anyone that's planning the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary taking note of that playlist's request.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yes, definitely, and feel free to join in the outro
because it's a whole gang vocal thing.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I definitely need to get find myself a blue jeans
jacket or something like that.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Now I have to tell you I have my flatpants
and my little little jommy socks on too, but you know,
and my flippers that are falling apart, but we won't lie.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I've also got to say that, yeah, because the thing is,
I've never it's rare to have lujin jacket. Like I
remember something happening in the nineties, but like the I
think everyone has a pair of blue jeans and maybe
believe it, leue jean jackets be perfect.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, you gotta have, you gotta have. You can dress
it up, you can dress it down, you can wear
it with your jomms like I am, alrighty.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So we got to talk about some of the challenge
to say that, you like have an over game since
the last time we spoke. So how was there any
roadbooks and how you and your team overcame those obstacles.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
You know, I think in life there's always roadblocks and
things like that, you know, I uh, like we were
talking about the internet. You know, sometimes people can say
why does she look like this? Why does she wear
her hair like that? Just why is she like litter
and don la la, you know, all diferent things, and
it's and you gotta be you got to be you.
You know, you've got to be the most authentic you. You've
(17:44):
got to be the best you you can be. And
you know, sometimes that does get to you and that's
hard to swallow and you're like, well maybe I should
do this or maybe I should you know, and it's
like and then you have to take a step back
and you're like, no, I feel good about myself or
this is what you know, this is who I am,
and and take it or leave it and you can
rip me apart or you can all leave up. So yeah,
(18:06):
there's different things. But whether it's it can be a
song or music and different thing, you know, uhat actually does?
Something happened the other night where some at a show
when a guy was not coherent and he was like,
you know what, I want to hear a rock song.
And he's like, this doesn't have to be country, why,
you know, we just hear rock. And I'm like, I
(18:28):
got a rock song for you. So I turned to
the guy and the guys were like, oh my god,
what is she going to do? How is she going
to handle this? And I'm like, I said, you know what,
we have a great rock song. And it's a song
called I'm on Fire. And it's kind of a little
bit of an ef you kin of song because it's
like it is sassy, it's attitude, but it's like, you know,
it's about people trying to take you down or try
(18:50):
to put you in a box. And you know what,
I'm just this phoenix rising and I'm like I'm on
fire and you're not going to stop me. I got
this you know kind of thing, and and it was
money because after I was like, and how was that?
And he was like, yeah, that's great. He's like, you know,
I love that, and everybody behind like she's great, you know,
and they were saying, like everybody's all in his face.
(19:11):
And then he walked out and the guys were like,
you've handled that like a Fox store. You were so great,
you know. But of course, then of course afterwards, I
like was cheering in the car. I was like, oh
my god, you think it's okay. I mean, you know,
I'm human. We have moments and it's like, you know,
I tried my hardest to keep it together, but you know,
(19:32):
there's it does get to you. You know. I'm very sensitive.
I'm a lot better than I used to be. I'm
still working on it, but but yeah, there's always there's
challenges and things like that. You know. On a personal level,
I had my brother passed away somebody, he was killed
in the car accident. So that was a hard thing.
And then I was like I had two days later,
(19:52):
I had a show, and I was like, do I
do this show or do I not you know, and
you know, there's a lot of schools of thought, what
what do you do? You know, that kind of thing.
But you know, I know that my brother is there
with me through everything, through thick and thin, and I
I love him. I miss him dearly. I can't even
believe that he's not here. So but yeah, so life
(20:15):
throws you challenges, life throws you different things. And as
an artist and as a songwriter, those are the things
that you you draw from, you know, those moments and
those sensitive times and those things. You know, that's what
that's what makes a good song too, where you can
just get it out and let people know, you know,
(20:37):
as the Brian I said, they're like, you know, Laura,
it's okay not to be okay. And I had to
learn that, like I mean, even going through stuff with
my dad when my dad was sick in the hospital
and they were like, lord's okay not to be okay.
And I was like, you know, you're right, it's okay,
and I like it. You don't always have to be uh,
you know, or you know, you're a human, You're real,
(21:00):
and that's what people can relate to that and that's
what you know, you pour your heart out into song,
as they say, and it's been good for me. It's
been cathartic, I guess that's the word. And uh but yeah,
so there's definitely been some challenges and uh yeah, but
I'm looking forward to to all the more fun to
come and I can't wait to do more shows and
(21:20):
get out and see everybody and make more fans and
more Brian Yax than all of the above. And I
so love being here with you. Thank you, Jo. That's
probably like an emotional, drawing out answer.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I gotta say this because you and I have been
that you touched a lot of big things that I
can relate with. It's like, when you have so many
frustrating things going on, it's just been so and I
think when you have someone, when you have some people
that I'm as you know, I support my guests by
one hundred and twenty percent, and like with especially on
shows with like the Challenge and anything, and when when
(21:53):
I see people go after my favorites, I'm like, I'm
so tempted to hit that tongue, give them a tone
lashing right what you At the same time, or like
with all the rise of anti Semitism, it's that definitely
sticks scared hell out of me, makes me so angry
and everything right, So yeah, so it's been like the
times I'm like saying I want to do that, but
like I even had a friend of mine say, well,
(22:13):
you got to be I had some families that families
and friends and say, oh, Jacob, you need to stop
posting such hard things because sometimes you are kind of
risking your career because sometimes you have exaverse and I'm
trying to have it under control, but like on the outside,
like I got to say this on personal note, Like
it reminded me so much. When my grandpa Ralph passed away,
(22:33):
I had a couple of days after the funeral, I
had to go back to work and I'm like, okay,
you got you have to be stay strong because that's
what your my grandpa wore do.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Right, But you have to do and you have to
do what's right for you. You know. It's like, but
there is like people the Internet, it is it's a
blessing and it's a curse. It's just you know, people
can take you down in two seconds. But then like
it takes what's crazy to me is it takes more
effort and time to be mean, But why be mean?
(23:05):
Like m then don't say anything at all? You know,
it's like, yeah, I mean, why why do that? You know?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Absolutely well, we got to leave the haters in their
dusk and talk about some stuff because on October first,
you have a big surprise. You have a big collaboration coming.
It's called Rise.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
And it's actually it's August first.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Oh August first. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. It's been
a crazy So August.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
First, trust me, I get it. I don't even know where.
I don't even know where I am. Halftime, my mom
was like a little where are you? And I'm like,
and I should be like, wait, I have to look
at the hotel. Oh I'm in. So I totally get it.
And then there's like time zone. I'm like, I don't know,
(23:56):
maybe it's lunchtime. I love that.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah, I love that sometimes too. I get that as well.
So I apologize for that everybody. So August first, you'll
release a collaboration with Common Tribe call Rise. So how
did that collaboration come about?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Oh? Common Tribe. He's like, he's got that soulful, gritty
Americana voice. I know he loves his outlaw country too.
So and we're gonna do it. We definitely were talking
about we definitely want to do an edgy, up tempo,
fun rocking out kind of out of all things. But
it's a He's got this great voice and together it's
a song about you know, when life is you know,
(24:38):
wants to take you down, or you're going through some
crap or whatever it may be, you know, you find
your strength and you pick yourself up and you put
your best boots on and you rise to that occasion.
And uh, you know, he has this great verse and
then we sing the choruses together and I have a
(24:58):
verse too, and and it's just this magical song. It's
wild because when we put it all together, like as
writers and then we and then being produced by Scatt,
and we sat down with Cheap and Zach Garner and
we were all writing this kind of thing and it
was just like, oh my god, I think we have
something Like it's just one of those things that you're
(25:20):
like ding. It just was one of those magical songs.
And you know, right now where everything is all up
in the air, and it doesn't matter what political thing
you feel or you don't like or you love or whatever.
You know, everybody needs some positivity in their life, regardless
of whatever it is. And this is a song that
