Speaker 3 (00:24):
So nice to chat with you today. How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I'm doing good. I'm doing great. Actually, I'm home in
Nashville and so, you know, getting a little rest in
beforehead and now I'm about to head up to Midwest
country next week actually actually Minnesota, and then I'm going
to Wisconsin. So excited to come home.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Are you sure you want to go to Wisconsin? I mean,
once you come here, you don't really need to go
to Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Hey, I love Wisconsin. You know some people vacation and
tropical islands. I'm choosing to vacation in Wisconsin. So do
you like going to the Yeah? I grew up unto
the Dells. I'm actually I'm going kind of up by
like Green Bay, I guess, but no, Yeah, are you
(01:08):
going to the Sabanon area?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Where you going?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Maybe? I don't even know what town. I'm going, some
little town I'm going to hold up in but you know,
I just like Wisconsin summer. Same with Minnesota, honestly, but
the summers that you guys have are just like superb
in my opinion. You know, it's just the tempts are right,
it's just chill. I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Don't tell anybody that because we don't want too many
people up here. People think that it's just cold. It's
like Siberia here. We like it that way. And then
they find out it's nice and they get away from
the humidity of the South and they they start hanging out,
leaving their trash everywhere. I know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I hear you.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Hey, when you're I know you don't want to tell
anybody where you're going. My guess is now you don't
have to say this. My guess is she's going to
Door County, She's going to Green Bay. She's probably going
to Door County, which is beautiful and it's like New England.
It's like, it's absolutely if you don't if you're not
going to Doric County and to go to some little
other town or something, make sure to go to Dorc
County when you're over there. It's cool. Yeah, And there's
(02:11):
goats on top of restaurants that are eating grass.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
That's pretty cool. So it is a place fit for
the corn Queen. I'm telling you, Yeah, well she.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Needs some rest, so that's what she's going to do
up there.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
How's your dad feel about the title of the album?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Loves it? You know, I mean I think, yeah, I
think like all my family like there, they love it.
They're just so shocked one. So much of what I
do is based around I think the Midwest, like you know,
because they all live there still and they're all just like,
you know, I think they get a chuckle out of it.
But yeah, they love it. And you know who probably
(02:49):
really loves it. The Dairy Princess is in Minnesota with
big inspiration for this record. I came up. I was
on the John Party tour and there's a family up
there in Minnesota, the Tds, and they have a farm
and put me on blast on TikTok and we're like, hey,
you're gonna be up here, come play our farm, and
I did, and Brittany Uh, one of the daughters on
(03:12):
the farm, was filling me in on like what what
happens like how you become a dairy prince up, yes,
and she just knows that I'm obsessed with butter sculptures
because I grew up in Iowa and I actually wanted
to saddle the butter cow from the Iowa State Fair
for this album art, but they didn't call me back.
So Brittany and I were talking about butter sculptures and whatnot,
(03:34):
and she was telling me how like when you become
a dairy princess, you get a butter bus. Yes, someone's
sculpture bust out of butter. And I was like, oh, shoot, well,
you know I'm never going to be a dairy princess.
We didn't do cows growing up. So it's probably the
closest I'm ever gonna Gaze's putting it on.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
My record, you know, so awesome. So now it's your
album cover art, is you as a butter sculpture? And
I was I wanted to ask you about that because
for me and for all of us like here in Minnesota,
we are so familiar with the butter sculptures. But I
wasn't sure if that was like a state fair thing
that happens everywhere or not. So it's so cool to
here that it's a Minnesota inspiration for you.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah. I mean, we do the butter coow up there
in Iowa, and so I grew up, you know, go
and State Therapy's a butter coow. But I'll tell you what,
I had to list some arms down here in Nashville. Like,
I probably got three or four calls from my record label,
are you sure you want to put your face in
butter as the cover of your album? And I was like, listen,
(04:33):
I know you guys don't get it, but the people
who do will get it. Yeah, you know, and this
is the Midwest core for sure.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah. Man, you gotta serve the people that got you here,
the people that are your you know, your home, your
hometown team, and it's the spirit of the deal, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah. Well, And it's like so funny because you know,
when I moved down here, there was hardly anyone from
the Midwest. You know. It wasn't like I had my
little tribe I could hang with. But everyone gave me
crap for being like from the North. They're like, you
ain't country, You're from the North. And I'm like, ah, shoot,
let me tell you, Yeah, we are countrier than half
the people I fee down here, you know. So I'm
(05:11):
just proud to be from the Midwest and to be
put in I always say to be putting some corn
country on the country music map, you know, and kind
of shine a light on my Midwest folk.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I love that because we need that, because a lot
of people don't do that if they are from someplace else.
It's like all of that rich history fades away and
they're like, I love in Nashville and from that, and
it's like, no, you're not if you're from Iowa. Man,
put Ioa on the map, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
For real, for real. I mean, I think that's the
thing about country music too. It's like, you know, I
think a lot of people kind of coin me as
like the Midwest girls talked about Iowa all the time,
but it's like Alan Jackson talked about Georgia all the time.
You know. It's just like that's country music, telling the
stories of where you come from, and you know, and
through whatever lens it be, whether it's Georgia or Iowa,
(05:57):
you know, Arizona. You know, it's like just talking about it,
telling those stories.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It's country. It's the whole country. It's not just Nashville.
It's the country. That's country music, right, your song cast Roles,
is that what they call him in Iowa? Because in
Minnesota it's hot dish? So can you change it? Is
like you're gonna be at the fine line September nineteenth, Like,
can you change that song if you sing it to
hot dishes and stuff?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, that's actually a good point. I might have to change.
You know, it's a real somber song, but I might
have to change it. The hot dish for you guys.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I don't know if it works nowhere. Yeah, I don't
know if it rhymes or whatever, but we don't care,
you know, we just it's hot.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
This stuffs coming there.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
You go, Like Minnesota's weird. Like here it's duck duck,
gray duck. Everywhere else it's duck duck goose. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
So my my fiddle, my old fiddle player was from Minnesota,
and so we came up and played what's that super
fun fest that you guys do or it's like a
two stages and ever went stocks so fun where I
had a blast plane when stuck and she wore she
like came out that morning wearing a hot dish shirt
and I was like you're wearing that on stage right,
like you have to wear that, And she wore it
and the crowd freaking lost their mind. They loved it.
