Ella Langley dot com. I always like to put that
out front in case you guys, I want to reference
some of the stuff we're gonna talk about today. All right,
So I'm gonna start with this because I said, this
is a top ten smash hit at radio, and I
love this song and I've I've played it a lot
(01:55):
that I can just memorize the lyrics. I love what
you did, uh with the song, the lyrics that we're recording.
The writing is fantastic, the story that tells country boys
dream girl. Let's start there. We'll have you played for us.
How did this come about? What was the idea behind it?
And I know you guys felt like you had something
special when you put it out, you know, So.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
This right was I wrote it with Will Bundy, who's
my producer, and then a guy named Smith on Quiz
and a guy named Aaron Razier, and it was actually
my first rite with both of them. And I can't specifically.
I think we stumbled upon this title. I don't think
anyone had it in the room, and we kind of
we wrote it and I was like, I just need
(02:37):
a song that is like, you know, because I grew
up in small town South Whole Pole, Alabama, you know,
South Montgomery, just tiny, and I grew up My dad
put me in jeans and boots on saturdays, put a
ball cap on me and he's like, all right, let's
do let's let's do stuff. And that was my outfit,
you know. So I think that hasn't really worn off yet,
and so that's kind of what the song is out.
(03:00):
It's like, you know, not being afraid of hell imor
and jeans and boots right now, you know, being afraid
to be yourself. And if somebody doesn't like that, then
probably not the one for you.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Concept of how it came about to no doubt love
that song. Well tell you what I'm gonna have you

(09:28):
on the Showision Thanks Impossible to back here on the
show with Ella Langley on the backstage past. The new
single Country Boys a Dream Girl Like You. Guys checked
that out across all the digital platforms. She just performed
before us here on the show. So I got this
feeling too, and listening to a lot of your music too,
in the singles we're talking about here, you enjoyed this
(09:50):
nineties country feel. I know when I grew up back
in the day when I was doing a lot of
the DJ in radio, everybody you could think of was
nineties country. Tracy Lawrence and Garth Brooks and George Strait
and the list goes on and on too. Were you
influenced by that great pioneer of country music.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Absolutely. I was just talking to a friend the other
day about I had this like boombox that sat on
my bathroom sync and I could play CD's, cassettes or
just listen to the radio. So I mean voices that
I grew up on was you know, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood,
Gretchen Wilson, you know, you know I'm here for all
the body or a man I feel lack a woman
(10:29):
Sni Twain. Yeah, I mean definitely influenced by I would say, nineties,
early two thousands Dixie chicks or the chicks.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
As you say, Yeah, great, I'll make that mistake every
time I do a show and bring them up. What's
your I love this because you're a part of this too,
and we're gonna talk about your oppry dabu here and
just a little bit which was February seventeenth. But this
wave of this great country music feature and some great females,
he lo, this is impressive. What's going on in country
music right.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Now, that's awesome. I mean, you know, you have somebody
like Landy Wilson who or you know, Ashley McBride. There's
so many women right now that are doing things that
women have never done before and are really just standing
out being like, hey, we want to sell out stadiums too.
We can sell tickets, you know, we can put on
a hell of a show, not just sing pretty. So
(11:19):
I think there's a lot more. Especially, I feel like
in this town there's a lot of respect for women now,
and I think they're all maybe I think the guys
are a little bit nervous about how much I want
to go to their females.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Where there are right now, but should be nervous, no doubt.
Let's go back speaking to Guys to twenty twenty a
single one of the guys that you guys had put
out there too for your camp and they use the
word guys there a few times of doubt. But one
of the guys was the song title twenty twenty single.
Let's talk a little backstory on that one.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Well, actually, one of the guys is. I think that's
the song I wrote when I first the first night
I was in town. I wrote it with Matt McKinney
and Trey Lewis. Actually actually and that, you know, that
was kind of the music I was putting out when
I first moved to town. That was like the stuff
I was first writing when I was figuring out what
(12:08):
I was doing. And I think you can kind of
see through the singles that I've done all the way
to from I guess one of the Guys the first one,
and then Country Boys dream Girl being the most recent,
is there's definitely a progression of how it's changing. And
then even with the singles that I've put out, I mean,
we're barely dipping dipping our toe in the water with
the stuff that I have to put out, you know
(12:28):
this this spring, I'm excited, We're putting out a good
bit of music this spring, and I'm excited for everyone
to hear what we've been working on.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I can't wait for the next one too. And then
also comes the song match Made in Heaven too, which
I was a huge fan of. I love that song too,
great tune for country music too. Let's talk about that
one a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
That one I also wrote with Matt McKinney and another
guy named Alex Maxwell. I mean we wrote that song
in two thousand and nineteen. I think, yeah, yeah, those
are I just those are songs that are you know,
were kind of my I feel like baby ella artists
when like just moving to town. I would kind of
clump Match Made in Heaven to one of the guys
(13:10):
and that, and then I would say, what's the one
that's right after that? I think maybe Damn You is
kind of the first one that was you know, all right,
I figured out how to write a song now, I
really I figured out what my voice is and how
I want it to sound.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I love that too. Any identity you mentioned as an artist,
you know what you want to be and kind of
what you want to put out there too, kind of
what's next? Mentioned all these singles kind of coming up.
There's got to be excitement in the camp here. And
I want to go back to this because February seventeenth,
Grendel Opry debut featuring Ella Langley. How did that sound?
How did that feel?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You know, me and my whole team were. We wanted
to be present for that day and just kind of
you know, sometimes it gets so overwhelming that you kind
of tune it all out, and that day it was
just a day of like wow, like I could anything
else could happen. But I'm going to step in the
circle today and at least I can say that I've
stepped in the grand old Aubrey circle and played music before.
(14:07):
You know, it was awesome. Jamie Johnson came and introduced
me there, and you know, we've got really close when
we went on tour, so having him there and him
being from Montgomery, and I think I had over one
hundred people from Alabama come so for them to be
able to you know, see him and it was just cool.
It was awesome. My whole family was there. It was
(14:27):
couldn't have gone better. It's an amazing day.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I love it too. We'll go all the way to
my buddy David. He's tuning in from England all the
way across the pond over there too. Ella, Can you
tell us about the guitar you're using and how important
is the guitar to you when you're writing and performing.
I love that question.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Actually, I'm very excited that this question was asked because
I just bought this guitar yesterday, and this guitar is
a nineteen fifty seven s J two hundred Gibson beautiful.
It's reissued. It's you know, it's not from nineteen seven
fifty seven, but it's you know, I made after that guitar.
(15:06):
It's a jumbo, it's I love it. And the guitar
that I normally use is a get some hummingbirds, So
the red one with the birds all over it, you know, really.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I like that. It's a beautiful instrument. Thank you Davey
for the question. If you've got questions for I'll leave
him in the comic box. We'll get to as many
as we can. Let's talk about if you have to,
which was another one you guys put out of believe
that one was twenty twenty one, Still kind of that
same kind of story you were talking about. Is that
kind of group with I guess with with damn You
and oh if you.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Have to let me, Yeah, if you have to? Was
that song is kind of I think what made people
be like, all right, what's this girl doing? You know?
It kind of gave a little bit of light to
what I was writing at the time and helped me
get a lot of the rest of my team that
I have now. That song I wrote with Ian Christian
(15:55):
and Trany Anderson, And actually the whole entire song is
a true story. It's about I got into It was
the guy I was dating at the time. We got
into a horrible fight in the next day. He was
just saying all this stuff to piss me off, and
I was like, you know what, Uh, you can just
hate me if you have to, because I'm just gonna
be this way if you if you have to hate me,
you just hate me if you have to. Think in
the middle of the argument, I'm like, that's a really
(16:17):
good song title. Thought this down before I forget it.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, that's kind of cool. I was gonna ask you
about that too. It feels like the hooks kind of
I don't want to say, come easy, but it is
hard being a songwriter too for you? Where did the
feel come from? Where do you kind of get those hooks?
And if you do, is it like more let me
grab the notes in the iPhone just start typing or
is it a handwritten type? How the lyrics just come naturally.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It's different every time. Sometimes I'll be walking around the
house and just singing and putting stupid lyrics and meldie
and then I'm like, wait, that melody is kind of good,
and then I sing it a voice recording, or sometimes
somebody will say something and it makes me think of
something else and then I get a title out of that,
you know, or it really happened. It's all kinds of
different ways it hits you at different moments. I have
(17:02):
learned that write it down because you will forget it.
Write the title down, write the lyric down because you
will not remember, and you will forget it. You will
not remember the melod that you think you're gonna remember
in about five minutes.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
So it's kind of like my interview schedules. I always like,
write it down the time, who you have the time,
it will forget the interview schedule. I love this and
this other one. We'll talk about it. A little bit.
Hey mom made it? Which, oh my god, another just terrific,
terrific country song. Let's have you play another one for
us right now? What do you say?
Speaker 2 (17:32):

Speaker 2 (23:23):
This is crew, My pride and joy takes after me

Speaker 1 (23:38):
This is my This is my guy that you got

What breed is he?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
He's a boy Can Spaniel.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Beautiful, beautiful dog. I tell you I got I got
two of them too, and like I said, I'm trying
to give one away and I'm just kidding. I got
a husky and I've got a red Golden Retriever that
two of my best friends here and I we say,
but that's that's good your dog mom. But you know what, though,
he's will take can care of and we're all a
little disobedient.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, well he's pretty good, I would say, he's actually
very good. It's like this is dog training is a
little bit of my hobby. I would say. During COVID,
I figured out how to groom him. So that's another
thing that I do.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
So one thing I hate doing is grooming dogs. But
I will say, you know what, though you're an expert,
are two things that I am not when it comes
to the dog training and grooming.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Well, I wouldn't say I'm an expert now. But his
hair is cut?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Is there's cut giving you kids already too. Let's let's
talk about the other one. Hey mom made it? Because
beautiful single cover man, just awesome song. What can I say.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
That song is?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
It's a joke that I used to text my mom
because I before I even moved to Nashville, what I
started out doing was playing gigs every Thursday, Friday, Saturday bars, restaurant,
college bars, I mean, you name it, I've played it.
And I had a band the whole time. So sometimes
i'd be acoustic, sometimes it was a full band. And
(25:09):
my mom's only request was just to let me know,
let her know when I got there. And you know,
it really ticks your mom off if you don't do it,
no matter how old you get. She just really wants
to know if I've made it. So iPhone, thank god
that you can see now my pen and that she
has my location, so it's fine. But so i'd always
text her. I'd say, hey Mom made it, Hey Mom,
made it, and one day I brought that title into
(25:31):
a write. I wrote it with Mark Addison Chandler and
Davis Corley, and I was like, I have this idea
and it's kind of how I want to write it.
So he wrote it, and I think I wrote that
song that that was. I wrote that song probably two
years ago, so I'm minute before I put it out.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I love it too. And that's just how the great
writing comes together too, and it's made some just great
music you're putting out there too. I know you guys
again are excited about you know, twenty twenty three and
just how just how hot things are right now for
your camp too, and just it's the growth is amazing.
Like I've seen the growth over the last few years,
but for you do you feel like it's it's just
kind of like a whirlwind. It's coming so fast, and
(26:08):
it's just every day. I mean, people know your name
and know who you are, all the public relations stuff.
I mean, you've got to be excited. You're working with
a great team right now too. Let's give them credit.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, I mean it's hard to explain because in some
ways it feels like how did I get all these
people to how did I trick all these people into this? Like,
how do I have this massive team?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Now?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
You know? It started out with just me and my
mom on the computer making a Facebook page. So I mean,
some days I wake up I'm like, is this really
my life? And then some days I'm like, wow, this
is I'm tired. But you know, everyone in my team,
we all kind of have the same idea. And I've
(26:50):
been really careful and specific about who I've added into
that team and kind of made sure that everyone has
the same mentality of like pour more gasoline on the
fire at all times. And we are and you know,
a lot of things have been behind the scenes recently,
so it might have looked like we weren't working, but
we've been working our tails off and this these next

Ella Langley dot com. I always like to put that
out front in case you guys, I want to reference
some of the stuff we're gonna talk about today. All right,
So I'm gonna start with this because I said, this
is a top ten smash hit at radio, and I
love this song and I've I've played it a lot
(01:55):
that I can just memorize the lyrics. I love what
you did, uh with the song, the lyrics that we're recording.
The writing is fantastic, the story that tells country boys
dream girl. Let's start there. We'll have you played for us.
How did this come about? What was the idea behind it?
And I know you guys felt like you had something
special when you put it out, you know, So.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
This right was I wrote it with Will Bundy, who's
my producer, and then a guy named Smith on Quiz
and a guy named Aaron Razier, and it was actually
my first rite with both of them. And I can't specifically.
I think we stumbled upon this title. I don't think
anyone had it in the room, and we kind of
we wrote it and I was like, I just need
(02:37):
a song that is like, you know, because I grew
up in small town South Whole Pole, Alabama, you know,
South Montgomery, just tiny, and I grew up My dad
put me in jeans and boots on saturdays, put a
ball cap on me and he's like, all right, let's
do let's let's do stuff. And that was my outfit,
you know. So I think that hasn't really worn off yet,
and so that's kind of what the song is out.
(03:00):
It's like, you know, not being afraid of hell imor
and jeans and boots right now, you know, being afraid
to be yourself. And if somebody doesn't like that, then
probably not the one for you.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Concept of how it came about to no doubt love
that song. Well tell you what I'm gonna have you
go ahead and just turn it right around, turn it
over to you, and let's play this thing. This thing
is awesome and I know you performed this so well.
I love it. Guys. It's out there across all the

(09:28):
on the Showision Thanks Impossible to back here on the
show with Ella Langley on the backstage past. The new
single Country Boys a Dream Girl Like You. Guys checked
that out across all the digital platforms. She just performed
before us here on the show. So I got this
feeling too, and listening to a lot of your music too,
in the singles we're talking about here, you enjoyed this
(09:50):
nineties country feel. I know when I grew up back
in the day when I was doing a lot of
the DJ in radio, everybody you could think of was
nineties country. Tracy Lawrence and Garth Brooks and George Strait
and the list goes on and on too. Were you
influenced by that great pioneer of country music.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Absolutely. I was just talking to a friend the other
day about I had this like boombox that sat on
my bathroom sync and I could play CD's, cassettes or
just listen to the radio. So I mean voices that
I grew up on was you know, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood,
Gretchen Wilson, you know, you know I'm here for all
the body or a man I feel lack a woman
(10:29):
Sni Twain. Yeah, I mean definitely influenced by I would say, nineties,
early two thousands Dixie chicks or the chicks.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
As you say, Yeah, great, I'll make that mistake every
time I do a show and bring them up. What's
your I love this because you're a part of this too,
and we're gonna talk about your oppry dabu here and
just a little bit which was February seventeenth. But this
wave of this great country music feature and some great females,
he lo, this is impressive. What's going on in country
music right.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Now, that's awesome. I mean, you know, you have somebody
like Landy Wilson who or you know, Ashley McBride. There's
so many women right now that are doing things that
women have never done before and are really just standing
out being like, hey, we want to sell out stadiums too.
We can sell tickets, you know, we can put on
a hell of a show, not just sing pretty. So
(11:19):
I think there's a lot more. Especially, I feel like
in this town there's a lot of respect for women now,
and I think they're all maybe I think the guys
are a little bit nervous about how much I want
to go to their females.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Where there are right now, but should be nervous, no doubt.
Let's go back speaking to Guys to twenty twenty a
single one of the guys that you guys had put
out there too for your camp and they use the
word guys there a few times of doubt. But one
of the guys was the song title twenty twenty single.
Let's talk a little backstory on that one.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Well, actually, one of the guys is. I think that's
the song I wrote when I first the first night
I was in town. I wrote it with Matt McKinney
and Trey Lewis. Actually actually and that, you know, that
was kind of the music I was putting out when
I first moved to town. That was like the stuff
I was first writing when I was figuring out what
(12:08):
I was doing. And I think you can kind of
see through the singles that I've done all the way
to from I guess one of the Guys the first one,
and then Country Boys dream Girl being the most recent,
is there's definitely a progression of how it's changing. And
then even with the singles that I've put out, I mean,
we're barely dipping dipping our toe in the water with
the stuff that I have to put out, you know
(12:28):
this this spring, I'm excited, We're putting out a good
bit of music this spring, and I'm excited for everyone
to hear what we've been working on.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I can't wait for the next one too. And then
also comes the song match Made in Heaven too, which
I was a huge fan of. I love that song too,
great tune for country music too. Let's talk about that
one a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
That one I also wrote with Matt McKinney and another
guy named Alex Maxwell. I mean we wrote that song
in two thousand and nineteen. I think, yeah, yeah, those
are I just those are songs that are you know,
were kind of my I feel like baby ella artists
when like just moving to town. I would kind of
clump Match Made in Heaven to one of the guys
(13:10):
and that, and then I would say, what's the one
that's right after that? I think maybe Damn You is
kind of the first one that was you know, all right,
I figured out how to write a song now, I
really I figured out what my voice is and how
I want it to sound.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I love that too. Any identity you mentioned as an artist,
you know what you want to be and kind of
what you want to put out there too, kind of
what's next? Mentioned all these singles kind of coming up.
There's got to be excitement in the camp here. And
I want to go back to this because February seventeenth,
Grendel Opry debut featuring Ella Langley. How did that sound?
How did that feel?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You know, me and my whole team were. We wanted
to be present for that day and just kind of
you know, sometimes it gets so overwhelming that you kind
of tune it all out, and that day it was
just a day of like wow, like I could anything
else could happen. But I'm going to step in the
circle today and at least I can say that I've
stepped in the grand old Aubrey circle and played music before.
(14:07):
You know, it was awesome. Jamie Johnson came and introduced
me there, and you know, we've got really close when
we went on tour, so having him there and him
being from Montgomery, and I think I had over one
hundred people from Alabama come so for them to be
able to you know, see him and it was just cool.
It was awesome. My whole family was there. It was
(14:27):
couldn't have gone better. It's an amazing day.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I love it too. We'll go all the way to
my buddy David. He's tuning in from England all the
way across the pond over there too. Ella, Can you
tell us about the guitar you're using and how important
is the guitar to you when you're writing and performing.
I love that question.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Actually, I'm very excited that this question was asked because
I just bought this guitar yesterday, and this guitar is
a nineteen fifty seven s J two hundred Gibson beautiful.
It's reissued. It's you know, it's not from nineteen seven
fifty seven, but it's you know, I made after that guitar.
(15:06):
It's a jumbo, it's I love it. And the guitar
that I normally use is a get some hummingbirds, So
the red one with the birds all over it, you know, really.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I like that. It's a beautiful instrument. Thank you Davey
for the question. If you've got questions for I'll leave
him in the comic box. We'll get to as many
as we can. Let's talk about if you have to,
which was another one you guys put out of believe
that one was twenty twenty one, Still kind of that
same kind of story you were talking about. Is that
kind of group with I guess with with damn You
and oh if you.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Have to let me, Yeah, if you have to? Was
that song is kind of I think what made people
be like, all right, what's this girl doing? You know?
It kind of gave a little bit of light to
what I was writing at the time and helped me
get a lot of the rest of my team that
I have now. That song I wrote with Ian Christian
(15:55):
and Trany Anderson, And actually the whole entire song is
a true story. It's about I got into It was
the guy I was dating at the time. We got
into a horrible fight in the next day. He was
just saying all this stuff to piss me off, and
I was like, you know what, Uh, you can just
hate me if you have to, because I'm just gonna
be this way if you if you have to hate me,
you just hate me if you have to. Think in
the middle of the argument, I'm like, that's a really
(16:17):
good song title. Thought this down before I forget it.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, that's kind of cool. I was gonna ask you
about that too. It feels like the hooks kind of
I don't want to say, come easy, but it is
hard being a songwriter too for you? Where did the
feel come from? Where do you kind of get those hooks?
And if you do, is it like more let me
grab the notes in the iPhone just start typing or
is it a handwritten type? How the lyrics just come naturally.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It's different every time. Sometimes I'll be walking around the
house and just singing and putting stupid lyrics and meldie
and then I'm like, wait, that melody is kind of good,
and then I sing it a voice recording, or sometimes
somebody will say something and it makes me think of
something else and then I get a title out of that,
you know, or it really happened. It's all kinds of
different ways it hits you at different moments. I have
(17:02):
learned that write it down because you will forget it.
Write the title down, write the lyric down because you
will not remember, and you will forget it. You will
not remember the melod that you think you're gonna remember
in about five minutes.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
So it's kind of like my interview schedules. I always like,
write it down the time, who you have the time,
it will forget the interview schedule. I love this and
this other one. We'll talk about it. A little bit.
Hey mom made it? Which, oh my god, another just terrific,
terrific country song. Let's have you play another one for
us right now? What do you say?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Let's do it all right, let's see what should do.

Com and welcome into the backstage past all you know,
(23:11):
I got asked there because who's that beautiful guest in
the background there. I love that that pup is right
there too. Look at that guy, Yeah, who is that?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
This is crew, My pride and joy takes after me
and everything, especially looks at being disobedient sometimes, Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
This is my This is my guy that you got
right there, no doubt, and I love it. What what breed?
What breed is he?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
He's a boy Can Spaniel.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Beautiful, beautiful dog. I tell you I got I got
two of them too, and like I said, I'm trying
to give one away and I'm just kidding. I got
a husky and I've got a red Golden Retriever that
two of my best friends here and I we say,
but that's that's good your dog mom. But you know what, though,
he's will take can care of and we're all a
little disobedient.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, well he's pretty good, I would say, he's actually
very good. It's like this is dog training is a
little bit of my hobby. I would say. During COVID,
I figured out how to groom him. So that's another
thing that I do.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
So one thing I hate doing is grooming dogs. But
I will say, you know what, though you're an expert,
are two things that I am not when it comes
to the dog training and grooming.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Well, I wouldn't say I'm an expert now. But his
hair is cut?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Is there's cut giving you kids already too. Let's let's
talk about the other one. Hey mom made it? Because
beautiful single cover man, just awesome song. What can I say.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
That song is?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
It's a joke that I used to text my mom
because I before I even moved to Nashville, what I
started out doing was playing gigs every Thursday, Friday, Saturday bars, restaurant,
college bars, I mean, you name it, I've played it.
And I had a band the whole time. So sometimes
i'd be acoustic, sometimes it was a full band. And
(25:09):
my mom's only request was just to let me know,
let her know when I got there. And you know,
it really ticks your mom off if you don't do it,
no matter how old you get. She just really wants
to know if I've made it. So iPhone, thank god
that you can see now my pen and that she
has my location, so it's fine. But so i'd always
text her. I'd say, hey Mom made it, Hey Mom,
made it, and one day I brought that title into
(25:31):
a write. I wrote it with Mark Addison Chandler and
Davis Corley, and I was like, I have this idea
and it's kind of how I want to write it.
So he wrote it, and I think I wrote that
song that that was. I wrote that song probably two
years ago, so I'm minute before I put it out.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I love it too. And that's just how the great
writing comes together too, and it's made some just great
music you're putting out there too. I know you guys
again are excited about you know, twenty twenty three and
just how just how hot things are right now for
your camp too, and just it's the growth is amazing.
Like I've seen the growth over the last few years,
but for you do you feel like it's it's just
kind of like a whirlwind. It's coming so fast, and
(26:08):
it's just every day. I mean, people know your name
and know who you are, all the public relations stuff.
I mean, you've got to be excited. You're working with
a great team right now too. Let's give them credit.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, I mean it's hard to explain because in some
ways it feels like how did I get all these
people to how did I trick all these people into this? Like,
how do I have this massive team?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Now?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
You know? It started out with just me and my
mom on the computer making a Facebook page. So I mean,
some days I wake up I'm like, is this really
my life? And then some days I'm like, wow, this
is I'm tired. But you know, everyone in my team,
we all kind of have the same idea. And I've
(26:50):
been really careful and specific about who I've added into
that team and kind of made sure that everyone has
the same mentality of like pour more gasoline on the
fire at all times. And we are and you know,
a lot of things have been behind the scenes recently,
so it might have looked like we weren't working, but
we've been working our tails off and this these next
few months are about to be a big few months.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
So I can't wait for that too. And of course
the new music comes out, we'll have you back on it.
We'll do a lot more with playing, picking, singing, talking,
all the good stuff that we we do here on
the backstage pass. All right, We'll hit you with a
little rapid fire because I love doing this. It's always
fun to just have fuggets to know you more on
a personal basis, all right. For me, it's been a
couple of shows. I'm getting into this, this one called
(27:30):
The Last of Us, which is HBO's big Okay, I'm
gonna say binge watching is that? And then the other
one for me is Your Honor. It's on Showtime.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Also Jent what is it called Daisy Jones and the
Six It's based off a book that is somewhat based
off of Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham, but not completely anyways,
phenomenal do okay?
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Another one you just put on the list and check
that one out too, all right. Ello's favorite food in
Nashville when you like to go out? What do you like?
What restaurant? M M For restaurants?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
There's a sin Coode Demaile right down the street from
my house that is a crowd favorite.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
So I'm going to go with that, Okay. My dad
keeps telling me you got to go to what it's
at the Hacienda Riviera for riches. Is it the talk
of the town? Is it good?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I don't know. The one down the street for me
is way better. I think.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Then I'm able to do that there, but I will
get my hot Chicken on.
