Speaker 1 (01:29):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Are you? Thanks for having me?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I mentioned just a lot of action going on right
now CMA week just a few weeks out here, and
I could see you on a spotlight stage coming up
May week in the future. How would that sound to you?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, that would be a dream come true.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, I'm I this June.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I'm actually, you know, gonna see family and I'm gonna
put out I couldn't at the end of June, but
kind of just I haven't seen my uncle and my
cousins in a really long time, so kind of just
take June to spend time with family and then come
back to music At the end of June.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It sounds good there too, And like I said, we're
gonna play the latest single across all the streaming platforms,
and of course thanks for giving us a little sneak
peek on I Couldn't, which comes out at the end
of June there too. I want to get your backstory,
the connection to music, because you're getting started with this
thing too, but it's not new to you. It feels
like it's been a part of you for a long time.
But I know you're young in this business and really
just hungry to get out there and put your brand
(02:26):
of music. How did it kind of all start? What
was the inspiration the musical influences? Give me the whole story.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, so, I my family's not musical at all. Actually,
my mom had no musical background, my dad had no
musical background. It's kind of just who I was, you know.
I was born like singing. And my Granny Humphries, my
dad's mother, she said that when I was a baby,
(02:53):
like I don't know, a couple months old, you know,
I would start singing in my crib and she told
my mom and she was like, Grace is singing in
her crib, And yeah, I don't know if there was
ever a specific moment where I was like, yeah, this
is what I'm gonna do. I was just always, you know,
putting on costumes, singing for my parents. As I got older,
(03:17):
you know, just running around the house, just making noise,
making up my own little jingles. I never wrote those
jingles down, so but I remember making up my own tunes.
And then when I was nine, I remember labeling the
keys on a keyboard, really old keyboard that we got,
(03:37):
like my brother had from a friend. It was a gift,
and I labeled the keys do rey me fosso latido
because I watched the sound of music and I was like,
I'm going to learn how to play that on the piano.
And I was nine years old and I didn't know
anything about you know, music theory or any of that stuff.
And I did that, and I taught myself how to
(04:00):
play dough a dear just in the right hand. It
was super simple, and then I kind of dropped off.
I didn't really you know, push it further. And then
when I was eleven, I saw this ad for Simply
Piano and I was like.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Mom, I want to get this app.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I really want to play piano, and I started playing
piano because of simply piano and instead a really great
foundation for me.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I learned a lot from it.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
But then there was a point where I needed to
be in person right and I was like it was
kind of dropping off and I needed that direction. So
I started taking piano lessons at around thirteen twelve, and yeah,
I took that until I think freshman year. I got
really busy with you know, music and school, and I
(04:49):
kind of then just learned more about music theory instead
of playing classical pieces, you know, I was taking that
classical route, instead of reading sheet music. I just kind
of wanted to do my own stuff. And then I
started writing songs when I was thirteen, playing the guitar
when I was thirteen as well, And I think playing
(05:11):
the guitar opened that door for me to write my
songs and accompany myself at restaurants or gigs. But yeah,
there was never a specific moment. I just always I've
always felt this calling to music. I've always had. My
love for my brother was also musical, and we shared
(05:35):
that love for music together and he was always you know,
making up his jingles, and you know, we just kind
of callin I've always been a part of my life.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, so jingles not you can keep those no papers,
nothing written down.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I found a couple videos, one of them Okay, no,
I shouldn't say okay, it's so it's so bad. I
have a video of it. And I was looking at
my old phone because it was in my old phone.
I must have been like nine or something, and I
was I think it went like somewhere in the.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Twenties, do Do Do Do Do? And it's just like,
what is like, No, that's so bad.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
But we know you can sing, and we know this
latest single we're gonna talk about it in a little bit,
is fantastic. I love it across all the DSPs out
there called wanted you to know, which just came out
there as a matter of last Friday actually to us
not too far removed from that too, last Friday, May sixteenth.
Let's talk about influences growing up. Obviously, country is now
(06:41):
such a crossover of different genres and things of that nature.
When you have a chance to hear all the great stars,
that's not just your nineties country, your late eighties kind
of throwback. You get your modern day country songs that
are out there right now the female category is booming too.
Who did you kind of look up to listen to
growing up as far as musical influencers, Who kind of
did it for you?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
What?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Female? Male category? Country?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Man?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It so many, like I think every artist can say
so many, like they're inspired by so many different people.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
But I do remember.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I think the first time I remember having a specific
influence was I was an iPad kid, so I had
my mom, you know, had music on her iPad. I
would watch YouTube on her iPad. I just remember doing that,
and on iTunes she had a couple of albums downloaded
and two of those were uh well yes, two of
those were Kelly Clarkson and Kerrie Underwood, and I remember,
(07:36):
I don't like remember because I was so young everything
about those songs, but I remember listening to them, and
so as I got older, I obviously listened to Kerrie
Underwood and Kelly Clarkson. And in the pop world, I
really love Coldplay, Ed Sharon, who else, Lizzie MC, I'll
(08:00):
pine she's more folk, Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood, Matt Queen, Abba, Man,
I just I don't know Dan and shay Landy Wilson.
So many I don't know and George Straight. I love
George Straight. There's that song that it's nobody knows about
this song. It's a forward.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Would it never cross my mind that one? Have you
heard that song?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Texas?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yes, I love that song. I love that song so much,
and nobody knows about it.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
But well you know about it.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
But I just when I moved here after I lost
my brother, I really hated Texas. I wanted to be
back in California, and I over the years, I now
love Texas more than I love California. And I attribute it,
it attributed like partly to that song because it was
(08:54):
that song was making me fall in love with Texas
in a weird way. It got me through my grief
with my brother and things like that. It's weird how
music does that and how you remember those little things.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
It's the beautiful part of it too. You mentioned there too,
because I'll lost my dad about a year and a
half ago and looking back and start saying, you know,
I know he would wanted me to have done this
and done this of course, keep the radio thing alive.
But I'll be honest with you, I've never think told
me about this. I've done a lot of these interviews
over the years. But music has helped me get through
those tough parts in my life. And that's the beauty
(09:26):
part about it. Whether it's depression, anxiety, certain situations that
people face, it could be any genre of any song,
and it puts you life and perspective a little bit
about how short life is and how we got to
appreciate every moment. And I feel like sometimes that's why
people pick up a guitar and sing and spread the message.
Do you agree with that?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I think that A big reason why I do music
is because it's it's it's like writing in a diary,
but it's so much more than that. It's something that
a diary. Writing in a diary can't give you, right,
it's and you you don't know exactly why, but it's
the combination of the lyrics and the melody and the
(10:11):
metaphors right that you put in the songwriting then makes
it something just out of this world, like something you
couldn't put in a diary, something you couldn't tell your
therapist or you know. I just I don't know what
I'd do without music, because when my brother passed away,
it was all I really had, you know, well, I
(10:31):
had my parents that they I'm very close with my parents.
But you know, in those moments of silence, you just
that's that's all you really have, just listening to your
favorite George Strait song or you know, starting to pick
up the guitar. You know, it's so therapeutic. And that's
(10:52):
why these people or people use music for therapy with
people with mental disabilities. It there's something powerful in.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Music, very powerful that messages being sent. Man it resonates
with a lot of people out there too at the
same time, and music is therapy. I'd like to say
that to you here on the program. Maybe I should
slogan that put that on a T shirt if it
hadn't been made already. Again Grace Humphreyes dot com for
more information to check that out there too. Time to
play that latest single. Wanted you to know. She's going
(11:22):

back here in ninety eight point one KYBN, your Bay
(16:57):
Area Broadcasting Network, and our friends KKTC True Country ninety
nine point nine Today highlight some music and featuring Grace
Humphries on these shows. So you know, I played this
one too, and always said if they're a great audience,
they are a great audience because they keep listening to
what we're putting out and all these great artists. UH
wanted you to know. Tell me about how this came about,
situation where you were the writing. I love this song,
(17:19):
really did wow?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
This this song? This okay. I The thing about my
songwriting is I pull from a lot of experiences or
like media that isn't my own, like not personal experiences.
I pull from movies, books, And this song actually came
(17:43):
about by scrolling on TikTok. I know I need to
stop doing that, I really do. And I was calling
on a dating TikTok and these women were talking about
how right before some of them were in tears, and
I was like no, And some of them said that
right before a guy dumped them, the guy would say
(18:06):
I'm gonna marry you, I'm ready to marry you, I'm
ready to spend the rest of my life with you,
and like talking about kids and all this stuff and
like love bombing them. And then the next day they're
gone and I just thought, that is so sad and so.
But then the thing about wanting you to know is
I already had and I like the melody the chorus,
(18:28):
and I didn't know what that was about. I didn't
know if i'd ever go back to that idea and
that idea of the chorus I made when my freshman
year in high school and I'm a junior now and
I finished the song in January. And so that's what
I love about songwriting. You can save all these ideas
(18:49):
that you never think you're gonna use, and then two
years later you go back to it. And that's how
I wanted you. I wrote, wanted you to know. I
had this my freshman year crush, and I was just like,
you know, I moved on. You know, I don't have
a crush on you anymore. So and that's how that started.
And then I finished the song because of that TikTok,
(19:13):
what women were saying on TikTok, and I put it
together and I wrote a story around it, and yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
It comes to light, no doubt about it. Hey, gimmy,
give me some thoughts on because we're seeing a lot
of those younger singers your age partake in these competitions
such as American Idol The Voice. Do you ever find
yourself being a musician kind of getting caught up in
those shows just kind of as a fan just to
watch them. Is it something that you've known other friends
to kind of partake in those? Are they good for
(19:42):
the industry? Give me some thoughts on that.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Yeah, I think I think we see.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Morgan Wallen was on The Voice, Carrie Underwood was on Idol,
Kelly Carson was the first Idol winner.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Who else?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Adam Lambert? I think that I think it. I I
think it is what you make it. If you go
on that show, if you don't go on that show,
it is how it is, how hard you work, how
hard do you want it because, or how how much
you want it, because there will be there are gonna
there are gonna be people who go on that show
(20:17):
who don't work as hard as someone else, and that
that person who worked harder just because they were on
the show, right, doesn't mean you're gonna get to where
you want to go. You actually have to put in
the work. And I think that these shows can give
you the exposure, but it's up to you to use
that exposure and and work for it, but I think
(20:37):
I think they're great. I think it really depends on
the person.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And you're right, it's how hard you work when you
get on there too, song selection, wardrobe choice, getting you
ready for what the business is all about. And I
heard somebody that they just talking about the real work begins, man,
when you get off a platform like that. And it's
so true when it comes down to it, because you're
you're set up there for what two three months in
competition with others and other people that come on that
show just as good somebody else out there, maybe maybe better,
(21:02):
have had a lot of years experience. So I just
love watching them and I think that again, like music
does the storytelling aspect out there too. Let me ask
you about this. You know, plans kind of you know,
the next five years hard to forecast anything much less
radio much less pat and artists out there too. What
do you yourself kind of goal with this whole music
thing and the next five years? Give me some goals
and some things that you've set out to accomplish.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Man, five years.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
It's hard to say because I have dreams of my own,
but I don't know, like how because it's different for everyone.
You see you see people take three years to have success,
you know, and start booking really good venues, or five
years or ten years. I I in five years. I
(21:51):
I just pray that I'm doing what I love and
that I'm connecting with my fans, and that I'm, by
God's grace putting food on the table.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
You know. That's I hope that's where I am.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
But I mean, I really have dreams of playing at
the Opry and being being a member there, and you
know what, maybe one day I'll I'll be set, you know,
playing at the venues that you know you play at
when you when you make something that appeals to a
(22:28):
lot of.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
People, like the way you said that the venue is
there too, because I could see Grace Humphreys on a
spotlight stage at CMA Fest in one of these next
few years. Maybe a five year goal there to play
in the opera. You never know, because that's one of
those things where it's keep making music like this, my friend,
You're gonna get there, no doubt. Making these bold predictions
here on the show, I'll never forget what I tell you.
(22:50):
A quick story. I had Laney Wilson on with me
December of twenty twenty Carly a year into the show,
just about that time, and I said, Laney, you're gonna
blow up in the next two year. I made that prognostication,
but look what's happened now. So I've been known to
do that here on this very platform, man, I can
see that happening here for Grace Humphreys time to play one.
It's not even released yet. We get an exclusive little
(23:11):
sneak pick here on the backstage passing empowered by the
Sports Guys podcast dot Com outter iHeartRadio. Wherever you guys

Area Broadcasting Network and our friends at KKTC True Country
ninety nine point nine to be with them about two
years already syndicated on that beautiful station out there, Tallas,
New Mexico, went up into Pueblo, Colorado. Back here. So
(27:51):
tell us all about this one, as we're just a
count down to CMA Fest here in a couple of weeks,
we'll be doing our show live in Nashville, Tennessee, June
fifth to the eighth, there in the eighth of the
Grandville for the forty third annual Sunday Morning Country. Tell
us all about this one. I couldn't and this had
a really great story to this one. I can't wait
to hear.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah, I this one. This one was fun. This was
one of those songs that you write in one sitting,
and I wrote this in October, so it's been almost
nine months about I don't know math. I can't do
math right now, yeah, I And we record this almost
like immediately after I finished with Michael Flanders and Caleb Flanders.
(28:34):
They're my producers and I really love them. I'm really
proud of what we've done together as a team. And yeah,
this song is about how do I say this without
being like, Okay, so this song is about a bad date.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Yeah, that's that's how I can say it.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
It's about have you ever been on a date and
you're just like, oh no, this guy isn't good or
this girl is not good, like like this, this person
has bad intentions, like I want to leave? Can I
leave early? But you just you you know, you're sitting down,
you're having your food or your drink, and you're just like,
(29:13):
can I just I.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Can't just leave?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I don't want to be mean, you know, like, and
it's about being too nice. It's about you know, staying
longer than you know you feel comfortable staying for. And
I really want this to be an anthem for girls
that if you're in a date and you're sitting across
from a guy and he's really not he's giving you
(29:39):
really bad vibes and he's making you feel uncomfortable, call
your mom and say, oh, hey, guys, I actually have
to go load the dishwasher. Can I can we do
this another time?
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:50):
So great example. We've all been there too, on those
bad dates. Yeah. So luckily I found my life partner
for the last what eighteen years fifteen years married too,
coming up this December. So yeah, it was. It's when
I say a perfect match or opposites a tract, so
you know when it's a bad omen. Yeah, I'm with
you on that. Got to go in the dishwasher for
(30:12):
that song. Thanks for lett us play it again do
out at the end of June across all the DSPs.
But of course a little sneak pig there on KKTC
True Country ninety nine point nine and my frans KYBN
ninety eight point one, your Bay Area broadcasting network out
there too. All right, let's have a lot of fun.
As we closed the show here I mentioned there too,
always love to get me to know you guys on
a personal side of things, And I guess the first
(30:33):
question out there would be hobbies away from music. I
know you mentioned high school things like that, but other
things you get into, reading books, drawing pictures, other hobbies.
Tell me about that.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Yeah, I I love learning, I ever since I can remember.
I just love books. I love history, I love literature.
I'm never not reading a book. I just finished the
New Hunger Games book. I don't know if you or
a Hunger Games fan or no.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I am, I need to read it.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
You have to.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
It's it's it's more like it's young adult, but I
am a young adult, so I guess that's not surprising.
But it's it's so good. I just finished the new one.
But yeah, I love reading. I love watching movies, and
I pull from movies and books with my songwriting. Yeah, school,
(31:27):
junior year This year has been really hard, like just
juggling everything. And I think a lot of people say
junior year is the toughest year academically of high school,
like in terms of workload. And I have only five
finals left. I just finished my eight page research paper
last night. I stayed up until three.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
And I did it.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
It's turned in and I just feel I get it.
But yeah, and then senior year next year, and then
I'm done.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
I'm done.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
You're ready for that too. Likes to spread those wings
to fly and keep the music thing going because you're very,
very very good at it, no doubt about it too,
all right, like you. I love talking about the category
of food here on the podcast too. At the same time,
so never a shortage of great restaurants when I get
up there to Nashville to get to travel and do
road shows out there. Some of your favorite places to
just kind of dine in? Restaurants themes different, I don't know,
(32:23):
textures of food I got lost in like I love them.
There's Italian kick now, of course I am attag you too,
but I love Italian Hoka. What do you get into
when it comes to food?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Oh man, I'm not hard to please, honestly, when it
comes to toute I. There is this restaurant on I
don't know if you can. It's like a filling station.
It's not really a restaurants. It's kind of like a
Texas Chili's. And it's down the road. It's down twelve
and it's called Root twelve, Okay. And they have they
(32:53):
have a rice bowl with beans, and they have salmon,
they have a burger, they have everything.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Just yeah. And then you go to the fountain, the.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
What do you call them, the soda machines machines.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Yeah, have doctor pepper.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
They have all of it. I mean, what more do
you need?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
You got it all right there at that particular place too.
All right, dream collaboration, dead or alive. You could pick
three artists three out there Dead or Alive dream collaboration
for Grace Humphries to do it with three artists dead
or Alive? Who you choose?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Oh, that's really really hard, That's really hard. Okay, current
female country singer Landy Wilson, no doubt hard stop. I
love her and wait? Can I need more?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I need more? Go for it?
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Okay, Zach Top I love right now, Lucy mchal Pine,
I love her.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Uh could play at Charon that.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
He's got some great choices right there too.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
It has really like his he is not full pop
all the time, like I don't know if you've heard
his like more folky songs that sound like borderline country.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
They do, they really do. And I've heard a lot
of this stuff on the playlist when I've put together
some of those out there too, and he's just he's
killing it right now too, a lot of that. I
love the folk sound that he's getting into. And I'll
tell you this this this crossovers have mentioned collaboration now
but becoming more of the norm. I mentioned this this
situation like Gary Levox's Rascal Flats you I want to
have on the show at a week and a Coon
and partnered up with this hold the umbrella, and it's
(34:34):
just like I can't even the mix of crossover because
because Gary can do anything with his voice. Acon' is
a legendary producer and artist and background vocalist. He's done
it all through his career. And I love this crossover
and just this transformation if you will, Post Malone coming
in now to you know, invade country and kind of
put his little spin on it too as well. So
I think it's just a great time that you get
(34:54):
a chance to blend what is what was the eighties
nineties country era. Zach Top killing it too. I just
love all these great artists for doing their thing out
there too, because they're just so great to listen to
and putting their own, like I said, personal spin on
writing a song, because that's what it's all about in
the end, it's connecting that song to the audience there
to At the same time, well, I'll tell you what, hey,
best of luck with the rest of this junior year.
(35:16):
I know it's not much senior year coming up to
one more to go, and you keep making music like this,

I could see you on a spotlight stage coming up

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, that would be a dream come true.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, I'm I this June.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I'm actually, you know, gonna see family and I'm gonna
put out I couldn't at the end of June, but
kind of just I haven't seen my uncle and my
cousins in a really long time, so kind of just
take June to spend time with family and then come
back to music At the end of June.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It sounds good there too, And like I said, we're
gonna play the latest single across all the streaming platforms,
and of course thanks for giving us a little sneak
peek on I Couldn't, which comes out at the end
of June there too. I want to get your backstory,
the connection to music, because you're getting started with this
thing too, but it's not new to you. It feels
like it's been a part of you for a long time.
But I know you're young in this business and really
just hungry to get out there and put your brand
(02:26):
of music. How did it kind of all start? What
was the inspiration the musical influences? Give me the whole story.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, so, I my family's not musical at all. Actually,
my mom had no musical background, my dad had no
musical background. It's kind of just who I was, you know.
I was born like singing. And my Granny Humphries, my
dad's mother, she said that when I was a baby,
(02:53):
like I don't know, a couple months old, you know,
I would start singing in my crib and she told
my mom and she was like, Grace is singing in
her crib, And yeah, I don't know if there was
ever a specific moment where I was like, yeah, this
is what I'm gonna do. I was just always, you know,
putting on costumes, singing for my parents. As I got older,
(03:17):
you know, just running around the house, just making noise,
making up my own little jingles. I never wrote those
jingles down, so but I remember making up my own tunes.
And then when I was nine, I remember labeling the
keys on a keyboard, really old keyboard that we got,
(03:37):
like my brother had from a friend. It was a gift,
and I labeled the keys do rey me fosso latido
because I watched the sound of music and I was like,
I'm going to learn how to play that on the piano.
And I was nine years old and I didn't know
anything about you know, music theory or any of that stuff.
And I did that, and I taught myself how to
(04:00):
play dough a dear just in the right hand. It
was super simple, and then I kind of dropped off.
I didn't really you know, push it further. And then
when I was eleven, I saw this ad for Simply
Piano and I was like.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Mom, I want to get this app.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I really want to play piano, and I started playing
piano because of simply piano and instead a really great
foundation for me.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I learned a lot from it.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
But then there was a point where I needed to
be in person right and I was like it was
kind of dropping off and I needed that direction. So
I started taking piano lessons at around thirteen twelve, and yeah,
I took that until I think freshman year. I got
really busy with you know, music and school, and I
(04:49):
kind of then just learned more about music theory instead
of playing classical pieces, you know, I was taking that
classical route, instead of reading sheet music. I just kind
of wanted to do my own stuff. And then I
started writing songs when I was thirteen, playing the guitar
when I was thirteen as well, And I think playing
(05:11):
the guitar opened that door for me to write my
songs and accompany myself at restaurants or gigs. But yeah,
there was never a specific moment. I just always I've
always felt this calling to music. I've always had. My
love for my brother was also musical, and we shared
(05:35):
that love for music together and he was always you know,
making up his jingles, and you know, we just kind
of callin I've always been a part of my life.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, so jingles not you can keep those no papers,
nothing written down.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I found a couple videos, one of them Okay, no,
I shouldn't say okay, it's so it's so bad. I
have a video of it. And I was looking at
my old phone because it was in my old phone.
I must have been like nine or something, and I
was I think it went like somewhere in the.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Twenties, do Do Do Do Do? And it's just like,
what is like, No, that's so bad.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
But we know you can sing, and we know this
latest single we're gonna talk about it in a little bit,
is fantastic. I love it across all the DSPs out
there called wanted you to know, which just came out
there as a matter of last Friday actually to us
not too far removed from that too, last Friday, May sixteenth.
Let's talk about influences growing up. Obviously, country is now
(06:41):
such a crossover of different genres and things of that nature.
When you have a chance to hear all the great stars,
that's not just your nineties country, your late eighties kind
of throwback. You get your modern day country songs that
are out there right now the female category is booming too.
Who did you kind of look up to listen to
growing up as far as musical influencers, Who kind of
did it for you?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
What?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Female? Male category? Country?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Man?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It so many, like I think every artist can say
so many, like they're inspired by so many different people.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
But I do remember.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I think the first time I remember having a specific
influence was I was an iPad kid, so I had
my mom, you know, had music on her iPad. I
would watch YouTube on her iPad. I just remember doing that,
and on iTunes she had a couple of albums downloaded
and two of those were uh well yes, two of
those were Kelly Clarkson and Kerrie Underwood, and I remember,
(07:36):
I don't like remember because I was so young everything
about those songs, but I remember listening to them, and
so as I got older, I obviously listened to Kerrie
Underwood and Kelly Clarkson. And in the pop world, I
really love Coldplay, Ed Sharon, who else, Lizzie MC, I'll
(08:00):
pine she's more folk, Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood, Matt Queen, Abba, Man,
I just I don't know Dan and shay Landy Wilson.
So many I don't know and George Straight. I love
George Straight. There's that song that it's nobody knows about
this song. It's a forward.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Would it never cross my mind that one? Have you
heard that song?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Texas?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yes, I love that song. I love that song so much,
and nobody knows about it.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
But well you know about it.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
But I just when I moved here after I lost
my brother, I really hated Texas. I wanted to be
back in California, and I over the years, I now
love Texas more than I love California. And I attribute it,
it attributed like partly to that song because it was
(08:54):
that song was making me fall in love with Texas
in a weird way. It got me through my grief
with my brother and things like that. It's weird how
music does that and how you remember those little things.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
It's the beautiful part of it too. You mentioned there too,
because I'll lost my dad about a year and a
half ago and looking back and start saying, you know,
I know he would wanted me to have done this
and done this of course, keep the radio thing alive.
But I'll be honest with you, I've never think told
me about this. I've done a lot of these interviews
over the years. But music has helped me get through
those tough parts in my life. And that's the beauty
(09:26):
part about it. Whether it's depression, anxiety, certain situations that
people face, it could be any genre of any song,
and it puts you life and perspective a little bit
about how short life is and how we got to
appreciate every moment. And I feel like sometimes that's why
people pick up a guitar and sing and spread the message.
Do you agree with that?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I think that A big reason why I do music
is because it's it's it's like writing in a diary,
but it's so much more than that. It's something that
a diary. Writing in a diary can't give you, right,
it's and you you don't know exactly why, but it's
the combination of the lyrics and the melody and the
(10:11):
metaphors right that you put in the songwriting then makes
it something just out of this world, like something you
couldn't put in a diary, something you couldn't tell your
therapist or you know. I just I don't know what
I'd do without music, because when my brother passed away,
it was all I really had, you know, well, I
(10:31):
had my parents that they I'm very close with my parents.
But you know, in those moments of silence, you just
that's that's all you really have, just listening to your
favorite George Strait song or you know, starting to pick
up the guitar. You know, it's so therapeutic. And that's
(10:52):
why these people or people use music for therapy with
people with mental disabilities. It there's something powerful in.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Music, very powerful that messages being sent. Man it resonates
with a lot of people out there too at the
same time, and music is therapy. I'd like to say
that to you here on the program. Maybe I should
slogan that put that on a T shirt if it
hadn't been made already. Again Grace Humphreyes dot com for
more information to check that out there too. Time to
play that latest single. Wanted you to know. She's going
(11:22):

they are a great audience because they keep listening to
what we're putting out and all these great artists. UH
wanted you to know. Tell me about how this came about,
situation where you were the writing. I love this song,
(17:19):
really did wow?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
This this song? This okay. I The thing about my
songwriting is I pull from a lot of experiences or
like media that isn't my own, like not personal experiences.
I pull from movies, books, And this song actually came
(17:43):
about by scrolling on TikTok. I know I need to
stop doing that, I really do. And I was calling
on a dating TikTok and these women were talking about
how right before some of them were in tears, and
I was like no, And some of them said that
right before a guy dumped them, the guy would say
(18:06):
I'm gonna marry you, I'm ready to marry you, I'm
ready to spend the rest of my life with you,
and like talking about kids and all this stuff and
like love bombing them. And then the next day they're
gone and I just thought, that is so sad and so.
But then the thing about wanting you to know is
I already had and I like the melody the chorus,
(18:28):
and I didn't know what that was about. I didn't
know if i'd ever go back to that idea and
that idea of the chorus I made when my freshman
year in high school and I'm a junior now and
I finished the song in January. And so that's what
I love about songwriting. You can save all these ideas
(18:49):
that you never think you're gonna use, and then two
years later you go back to it. And that's how
I wanted you. I wrote, wanted you to know. I
had this my freshman year crush, and I was just like,
you know, I moved on. You know, I don't have
a crush on you anymore. So and that's how that started.
And then I finished the song because of that TikTok,
(19:13):
what women were saying on TikTok, and I put it
together and I wrote a story around it, and yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
It comes to light, no doubt about it. Hey, gimmy,
give me some thoughts on because we're seeing a lot
of those younger singers your age partake in these competitions
such as American Idol The Voice. Do you ever find
yourself being a musician kind of getting caught up in
those shows just kind of as a fan just to
watch them. Is it something that you've known other friends
to kind of partake in those? Are they good for
(19:42):
the industry? Give me some thoughts on that.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Yeah, I think I think we see.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Morgan Wallen was on The Voice, Carrie Underwood was on Idol,
Kelly Carson was the first Idol winner.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Who else?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Adam Lambert? I think that I think it. I I
think it is what you make it. If you go
on that show, if you don't go on that show,
it is how it is, how hard you work, how
hard do you want it because, or how how much
you want it, because there will be there are gonna
there are gonna be people who go on that show
(20:17):
who don't work as hard as someone else, and that
that person who worked harder just because they were on
the show, right, doesn't mean you're gonna get to where
you want to go. You actually have to put in
the work. And I think that these shows can give
you the exposure, but it's up to you to use
that exposure and and work for it, but I think
(20:37):
I think they're great. I think it really depends on
the person.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And you're right, it's how hard you work when you
get on there too, song selection, wardrobe choice, getting you
ready for what the business is all about. And I
heard somebody that they just talking about the real work begins, man,
when you get off a platform like that. And it's
so true when it comes down to it, because you're
you're set up there for what two three months in
competition with others and other people that come on that
show just as good somebody else out there, maybe maybe better,
(21:02):
have had a lot of years experience. So I just
love watching them and I think that again, like music
does the storytelling aspect out there too. Let me ask
you about this. You know, plans kind of you know,
the next five years hard to forecast anything much less
radio much less pat and artists out there too. What
do you yourself kind of goal with this whole music
thing and the next five years? Give me some goals
and some things that you've set out to accomplish.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Man, five years.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
It's hard to say because I have dreams of my own,
but I don't know, like how because it's different for everyone.
You see you see people take three years to have success,
you know, and start booking really good venues, or five
years or ten years. I I in five years. I
(21:51):
I just pray that I'm doing what I love and
that I'm connecting with my fans, and that I'm, by
God's grace putting food on the table.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
You know. That's I hope that's where I am.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
But I mean, I really have dreams of playing at
the Opry and being being a member there, and you
know what, maybe one day I'll I'll be set, you know,
playing at the venues that you know you play at
when you when you make something that appeals to a
(22:28):
lot of.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
People, like the way you said that the venue is
there too, because I could see Grace Humphreys on a
spotlight stage at CMA Fest in one of these next
few years. Maybe a five year goal there to play
in the opera. You never know, because that's one of
those things where it's keep making music like this, my friend,
You're gonna get there, no doubt. Making these bold predictions
here on the show, I'll never forget what I tell you.
(22:50):
A quick story. I had Laney Wilson on with me
December of twenty twenty Carly a year into the show,
just about that time, and I said, Laney, you're gonna
blow up in the next two year. I made that prognostication,
but look what's happened now. So I've been known to
do that here on this very platform, man, I can
see that happening here for Grace Humphreys time to play one.
It's not even released yet. We get an exclusive little
(23:11):

of that single and we get a little sneak peek

years already syndicated on that beautiful station out there, Tallas,
New Mexico, went up into Pueblo, Colorado. Back here. So
(27:51):

count down to CMA Fest here in a couple of weeks,
we'll be doing our show live in Nashville, Tennessee, June
fifth to the eighth, there in the eighth of the
Grandville for the forty third annual Sunday Morning Country. Tell
us all about this one. I couldn't and this had
a really great story to this one. I can't wait
to hear.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah, I this one. This one was fun. This was
one of those songs that you write in one sitting,
and I wrote this in October, so it's been almost
nine months about I don't know math. I can't do
math right now, yeah, I And we record this almost
like immediately after I finished with Michael Flanders and Caleb Flanders.
(28:34):
They're my producers and I really love them. I'm really
proud of what we've done together as a team. And yeah,
this song is about how do I say this without
being like, Okay, so this song is about a bad date.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Yeah, that's that's how I can say it.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
It's about have you ever been on a date and
you're just like, oh no, this guy isn't good or
this girl is not good, like like this, this person
has bad intentions, like I want to leave? Can I
leave early? But you just you you know, you're sitting down,
you're having your food or your drink, and you're just like,
(29:13):
can I just I.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Can't just leave?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I don't want to be mean, you know, like, and
it's about being too nice. It's about you know, staying
longer than you know you feel comfortable staying for. And
I really want this to be an anthem for girls
that if you're in a date and you're sitting across
from a guy and he's really not he's giving you
(29:39):
really bad vibes and he's making you feel uncomfortable, call
your mom and say, oh, hey, guys, I actually have
to go load the dishwasher. Can I can we do
this another time?
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:50):
So great example. We've all been there too, on those
bad dates. Yeah. So luckily I found my life partner
for the last what eighteen years fifteen years married too,
coming up this December. So yeah, it was. It's when
I say a perfect match or opposites a tract, so
you know when it's a bad omen. Yeah, I'm with
you on that. Got to go in the dishwasher for
(30:12):
that song. Thanks for lett us play it again do
out at the end of June across all the DSPs.
But of course a little sneak pig there on KKTC
True Country ninety nine point nine and my frans KYBN
ninety eight point one, your Bay Area broadcasting network out
there too. All right, let's have a lot of fun.
As we closed the show here I mentioned there too,
always love to get me to know you guys on
a personal side of things, And I guess the first
(30:33):
question out there would be hobbies away from music. I
know you mentioned high school things like that, but other
things you get into, reading books, drawing pictures, other hobbies.
Tell me about that.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Yeah, I I love learning, I ever since I can remember.
I just love books. I love history, I love literature.
I'm never not reading a book. I just finished the
New Hunger Games book. I don't know if you or
a Hunger Games fan or no.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I am, I need to read it.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
You have to.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
It's it's it's more like it's young adult, but I
am a young adult, so I guess that's not surprising.
But it's it's so good. I just finished the new one.
But yeah, I love reading. I love watching movies, and
I pull from movies and books with my songwriting. Yeah, school,
(31:27):
junior year This year has been really hard, like just
juggling everything. And I think a lot of people say
junior year is the toughest year academically of high school,
like in terms of workload. And I have only five
finals left. I just finished my eight page research paper
last night. I stayed up until three.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
And I did it.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
It's turned in and I just feel I get it.
But yeah, and then senior year next year, and then
I'm done.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
I'm done.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
You're ready for that too. Likes to spread those wings
to fly and keep the music thing going because you're very,
very very good at it, no doubt about it too,
all right, like you. I love talking about the category
of food here on the podcast too. At the same time,
so never a shortage of great restaurants when I get
up there to Nashville to get to travel and do
road shows out there. Some of your favorite places to
just kind of dine in? Restaurants themes different, I don't know,
(32:23):
textures of food I got lost in like I love them.
There's Italian kick now, of course I am attag you too,
but I love Italian Hoka. What do you get into
when it comes to food?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Oh man, I'm not hard to please, honestly, when it
comes to toute I. There is this restaurant on I
don't know if you can. It's like a filling station.
It's not really a restaurants. It's kind of like a
Texas Chili's. And it's down the road. It's down twelve
and it's called Root twelve, Okay. And they have they
(32:53):
have a rice bowl with beans, and they have salmon,
they have a burger, they have everything.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Just yeah. And then you go to the fountain, the.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
What do you call them, the soda machines machines.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Yeah, have doctor pepper.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
They have all of it. I mean, what more do
you need?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
You got it all right there at that particular place too.
All right, dream collaboration, dead or alive. You could pick
three artists three out there Dead or Alive dream collaboration
for Grace Humphries to do it with three artists dead
or Alive? Who you choose?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Oh, that's really really hard, That's really hard. Okay, current
female country singer Landy Wilson, no doubt hard stop. I
love her and wait? Can I need more?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I need more? Go for it?
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Okay, Zach Top I love right now, Lucy mchal Pine,
I love her.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Uh could play at Charon that.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
He's got some great choices right there too.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
It has really like his he is not full pop
all the time, like I don't know if you've heard
his like more folky songs that sound like borderline country.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
They do, they really do. And I've heard a lot
of this stuff on the playlist when I've put together
some of those out there too, and he's just he's
killing it right now too, a lot of that. I
love the folk sound that he's getting into. And I'll
tell you this this this crossovers have mentioned collaboration now
but becoming more of the norm. I mentioned this this
situation like Gary Levox's Rascal Flats you I want to
have on the show at a week and a Coon
and partnered up with this hold the umbrella, and it's
(34:34):
just like I can't even the mix of crossover because
because Gary can do anything with his voice. Acon' is
a legendary producer and artist and background vocalist. He's done
it all through his career. And I love this crossover
and just this transformation if you will, Post Malone coming
in now to you know, invade country and kind of
put his little spin on it too as well. So
I think it's just a great time that you get
(34:54):
a chance to blend what is what was the eighties
nineties country era. Zach Top killing it too. I just
love all these great artists for doing their thing out
there too, because they're just so great to listen to
and putting their own, like I said, personal spin on
writing a song, because that's what it's all about in
the end, it's connecting that song to the audience there
to At the same time, well, I'll tell you what, hey,
best of luck with the rest of this junior year.
(35:16):
I know it's not much senior year coming up to
one more to go, and you keep making music like this,
We're gonna have to have you back here on this program,
no doubt about it. Grace uffries here on the backstage.
