The Voice promised fame, but for Morgan Myles, the real challenge began when the show ended. Forget what you think you know about post-reality TV careers. This isn’t just about music; it’s about resilience, reinvention, and what it truly takes to carve your own path in a cutthroat industry after the spotlight fades.

(00:53):
podcast tuning in thanks to all of our sponsors always
making this possible. I'll tell you what, if you want
to know the definition of definition of music, there's two
words you look up in the dictionary. And she's joining
us today and it's Morgan Miles on the program, one
of our show favorites out there too, because she pretty
much personifies music out there.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
My friend, how you doing?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Oh my gosh, well, thank you for that intro. I'm
doing well. I'm doing well. How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
It's good?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
You know where I mentioned ready for cooler temperatures to
come in to Texas here, but I'm sure Nashville too.
But it just feels like it's all this warming trend
we're on right now.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
So we got to go.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Oh no.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I was up in Michigan two days ago for through
and I'm like, wow, we hit fall with a bang.
So I mean, it's definitely getting cold in some places,
for sure, the leaves are changing. But yeah, it's pretty
hot here's till us like in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, Texas to eighties down here too. You're like, when's
the warm warm where they're going to go away in
the cooler air going to take over too? But it
is fall, and it's kind of cool because I'll say, look,
my favorite holiday. I guess you call it a holiday too.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I love Halloween. Now.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
My kid's now coming up on six years old next year,
but now she gets a chance to really understand what
this whole K pop Demon Hunters thing is all about now,
So she's hooked on this too, but I told her,
I said, it's totally different than Morgan Miles music. So
she's singing your songs, but at the same time, she's
got this K pop demon hunter thing on it. I'm
not a big fan of it too, but I'll look
for I'll say this, it took the nation by storm.
(02:18):
And if she wants to be I think it's Zoe Halloween.
She could be whatever she wants to be, right.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So, I mean, every kid is obsessed with this. It's
like all my cousins kids like everything. But listen, they're
fans of Morgan Miles too. You can be both, Okay,
I'll take all y'all.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Well, you tell us what's going on with this. I
love it.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Laced is across all the DSPs, or at least a
few songs are the full length records February of next year,
looking at this for twenty twenty six. But I will
say this, man, I've gotten to listen to the whole thing,
cover to cover, hints start a podcast.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You can get music in advanced I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
When I listened to it, I love it because again,
it's authentic, it's original songs and so things you and
I were talking about, I think in Nashville at Sea
May week, were telling me about this whole project and
kind of laying and honest, and you know what, I'm
excited about these songs, this body of work. And you know,
for the people that pre order down, they get a
few tunes out there for songs in particular, fantastic work.
Tell everybody about this. I know you're excited.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, I mean we we wrote eighty songs in five months.
I have a Grammy Award winning producer behind it. Definitely
the best record I've ever made, Definitely the longest one
that it's ever taken me. And this song is a
diary of It's a lot of times people only focus
on maybe the heartbreak, or they only focus on the
(03:35):
falling and the love part. But I've also focused on
the getting back up and the the faith side. So
it's the embodiment of the gamut of what we go
through in life. And so it is like my diary.
I'm very vulnerable in it. Vulnerability to me is strength,
and it's you know, it's so hard to put yourself
(03:57):
out there all the time, it really is. But at
the end of the day, I just feel like God
gave me a gift to do so. So this is
definitely an album that I really hope reaches the right
people that need it for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, and a lot of good songs there too. You
and you mentioned you wrote, you know a lot of
songs for this too. How hard is it to kind
of make that differentiation for what is written out there
because you have so many great stories to tell between
all those songs. You mentioned eighty songs and narrow it
down to like twelve and really kind of get the
right twelve songs for a project.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
It's got to be challenging, right.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
You know. I really just trusted my producer on this
one because every song I turned in I was really
just loved. They're all my little babies. It's interesting how
when we when he chose the songs, you know what
it's manifested into today. I mean a week from now,
I was supposed to be having my wedding and a
lot of these songs were you know, this whole journey
(04:57):
of like what I thought was going to happen, what
didn't happen. Also, just like love and the ups and
downs of just everything, And I feel like we all
go through so much of this like up and down
emotions in our lives, and it's you know a lot
of times we just don't understand why all this shit's
happening to us all the time, you know, And then
then we look at it in the rear view mirror,
(05:19):
we're able to put perspective. But you know, all of
these songs are really fitting for things that A I
need to hold myself accountable to be perspective, like see
like just absolutely in the middle of the heartbreak, but
also the beginning part of falling in love. I mean,
(05:39):
my very first song that we were releasing for this
album was how does that Sound? I wrote this song
when I was in love and falling in love. And
the craziest thing was this was planned to be coming out,
you know, a long time ago, and then I did
not know that. Just like right when I'm releasing it,
(06:00):
I'm going through the actual breakup, and I'm like, are
you kidding me? I'm singing a lovey dovey song that
I wrote about my now ex fiance. I mean, are
you kidding me? You can't make this shit up? And
it was just like gosh, you know, like and you
compartmentalize it, you keep going through it, and you know,
and then I just kind of kind of put it
out there because every show I got to I already
(06:22):
I've already played like one hundred and fifty shows this year,
so I had like fifty shows in that first quarter,
and every time people were coming up to me saying,
congratulations on your engagement. Well, that's the funny thing about
these algorithms that we're talking about. So I decided that
I needed to just kind of be I can't just
promote something lovey dovey right now. So I was just like, wow,
(06:44):
this is crazy. I'm going to be on a healing journey.
I still because I want to still believe in love,
and I do, but it was like when you're in
the sick of it, you feel so isolated. Your world
just feels so small. And so yeah, I did a
thirty day healing journey and then finally people realize that
I had definitely broken up with this person, so that
(07:04):
you know, I and granted I still last weekend I
was in Texas and or the weekend before and no
last weekend, man, I don't know what days and somebody
walked up to me and said, aren't you getting married?
This month, and I go, oh, hell no. And then
I got somebody going, didn't you break up with him
(07:26):
like a year ago? And I go, oh, hell no,
it was just several months ago. Oh my gosh. But
it's it's in this day and age songwriting it's crazy
because that's our safe place and we go into our
little therapy rooms and we write beautiful music. And back
in the day, how I grew up was that's that's
(07:46):
for everybody to take and you guys figure out what
this song is about. And maybe we have a press
or some radio interviews, but nothing crazy. But this social
media world, it's like, I have to talk about this song.
I'm like, your love was laced laced in hate, laced
in shame, and date I'm like, what do you think
it's about?
Speaker 5 (08:05):
You know?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
And people are like, you need to get over it,
and I'm like, I'm over it. I'm doing really well,
to be honest. It's just the fact of, like I
have to talk about this music from a very real
place and it's just a crazy I guess it's keeping
the narrative going, but I really just it's my social
(08:27):
media is definitely a nemesis for me because it's just like,
oh ah, but whatever. I always put all my stuff
out there. I'm an open book and I am and
I really haven't said it all. Believe me, I have
not said many things, and somehow I'm still protecting that person.
So it is what it is. It's not my place
to say. But hopefully one day, you know, he'll grow
(08:50):
from that experience.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I think, like I said, time heals all those wounds,
no doubt. And you mentioned, like I said, you're a
strong person.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
We love it. You've opened up to me over the years.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
We've become very good friends outside of just interview to
INTERVIEWEE and stuff like that, and getting to know each
other as best friends. And I can tell you this
is just some great music out there in general, and
it really tells a lot of great stories and really
resonates with someone who's going through the same thing that
you went through. And You're right, we all need to
take a step back and heal too. But I love
listening to this song. We're gonna play it for you
right now. It's from the new record out there too.
(09:20):
If you order, you can get four songs. Right now
comes out February thirteenth of twenty twenty six. Morgan Miles.

Welcome to another edition of Backstage Pass, powered by the
Sports Guys Podcast with your host Brandon Morell.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And back here Morgan Miles on the program. Here lace
the current record. It's across all the DSPs, or at
least a few songs that keep saying that it feels
like current. It's going to be here before you know
at February thirteenth of twenty twenty six. Pre order now
Morgan Miles live dot com for more information. Out there too,
and love this song, and you know you mentioned therefore,
I played the music video for everybody, and of course
listening out there across all the affiliates, the song was
(16:51):
You're right going through those tough times in life, but
you know, you had something to be able to tell
a story, and I felt this song really just did justice.
It did what it was supposed to do, Like it
really put the thoughts in the back of the minds
of people that have been through those tough relationships and
how we come out stronger on the other side.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
You know, yeah, for sure. I think like the songs,
like the four songs that I've released so far, I
had a giggle the other night because it's like, how
does that sound? Is like, oh, look, she's falling in love.
And then the second one is like wight of your words, like, oh,
shit's starting to hit the fin he's saying savvy shin,
(17:30):
he's weaponizing words. Then Lace is like we done, we
over and now case Ara is like I'm healed. Yay,
like perspective wisdom.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
He told me a funny story with that one. Let's
bring it up to people. Because when I did it,
I was like, okay, case Sarad and the serenade, So
it was easy to see those words because I'm not,
like I said, the greatest Spanish speaker. I do know,
like I said the very little bit there too. But
like when you see that song when you hear yourself
deliver it, like it was so easy to not get
that mixed up. But tell me that story because we
were laughing before we actually went live and did this too,
(18:04):
like recorded this looking back, because you had some really
different vibes of that song come out, like this was
really funny when you said that, because they mistaked it
for something else. But I was like, when you read it,
you can only say.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, case theme.
Speaker 16 (18:19):
No.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
People thought it was k soo raw like geez like
melted cheese, and I was like they had to get
so confused by the time they got to the chorus.
You're like, like, maybe I don't even know what the
thought process was. I mean I would hope like for me,
I just feel like chat GBT, what is this or shit,
damn it, or you know, something like look it up,
(18:42):
please look it up. If this is what's so funny?
People comment, you know, without even thinking anymore. You're just
like I would not have commented. But there were several
people that thought it was literally about case so and
I'm like, oh my gosh, too clever.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I've literally said so many times in my life. And
then maybe I'm just a weird out.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Let's just chure, Well, you're not a weirdo. You're not.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I want to ask you about I know we've talked
about this on previous shows we've done or live in
Nashville when I've been there to doing the show. Love
it because uh, I always look back and a voice
was a great opportunity for you too. And I'll never
forget when you stepped on that stage and I'm like,
this is going to add to her arsenal, It's going
to give her something to go even further to the
next level, because she's one of the hardest working people
I know in the industry. But and you knew a
(19:34):
lot coming into that show. But you were telling me
too what that show had done for you coming off
of it again to learn from some of the best
coaches who've done it all the industry and kind of
laid it on the line for their reputation, their brands,
their music, things like that.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
So like, give me a.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Little bit more and kind of build on what it
was like knowing that you're going into a competition like
that even after what you've been through in music, and
then kind of what you learned and what you took
away from when that time ended on The Voice.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I mean, for me, I think I was in a
place of, like, you know, all the artists, we got
hit so hard with the pandemic, and then I had
a really messed up management situation, and then I had
a booking agent that was committing fraud. It was just
like bang, bang bang. And so I've been asked to
(20:21):
be in the casting for The Voice for like nine
years something crazy like that, and I kind of just thought,
you know what, why not, Like I still really want
to get my story out there, and I feel like
every time I just I'm always hit with something like
massive like this, like why why can't I just like
find like a little open window. And so when I
(20:43):
did it, it was very, very scary because I had
been in Nashville for seventeen years before going on the show,
and you know, you're sitting there and you're like, if
those chairs don't turn, like I'm going to be just
completely embarrassed and ashamed. And so the fact that I'm
still the reigning fastest four chare term in the history
(21:03):
of the television show is very validating. And you know,
I got everything out of the show that I wanted
because I didn't want to walk away with winning because
of I did not want that record deal that was
attached to it. I knew it wasn't going to serve
somebody like me and the best that I could. And
so after it, I signed a record deal with a
(21:24):
great label, bluel Records, that's super artist friendly and supportive
of me and I'm a priority and every so everything
worked out the way that it needed to. I think
for me, the biggest takeaway was like the Cat like
the crew of The Voice, they really all came up
to me individually, and these are people that are just
so high up in the television world and their craft
(21:47):
and everything, and they're like, you really know who you
are as an artist, and you're just so authentic through
and through and you were so talented and just please
believe your believe in yourself and keep going like you know,
and I there was so many of those things said
to me, not only by John Legend, and you know,
John Legend even went on television to say that I
(22:08):
was the best country singer that's ever been on the
television show. So like, I think for me, it was
all the really validating comments that kept happening that obviously
I needed because my self esteem was so low at
that point just about everything that I had been through,
and so yeah, and it's still hurt to kind of
(22:31):
walk away and feel the loss. But like I kept saying, Morgan,
that's what you wanted, but you still got to go. Okay.
So now I was on the platform, where do we
go from here? And you know we I mean, I
toured so much after that, and I still am like,
we haven't stopped and everything's just been moving and grooving
(22:52):
on the way up. So I mean, I'm really glad
that I did it. And you know, the voice has
a lot of it has a huge fan base, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I'm not surprised. It was the fastest fore chair turn.
I think I told you that at CMA week in Nashville.
I want I walked over there and watch you guys
perform some of your shows and the reactions you get
from crowds is amazing. So I was encourage and tell
people to get out to one of those shows. Check
her out. She's always busy and has done fifty states
worldwide and old artist workers in the business, has been
to Texas and I'll tell you what man, if you
(23:23):
guys want to get out to a show, it's worth
the ticket, worth the price of admission. And I'm just
telling you that firsthand. For a guy that knows his
music out there, knows what the ear likes to hear,
no doubt about it too. All right, we got to
play another one off the record you released it. You
mentioned one of those four songs, So how does that sound?
We're gonna answer that question coming back here on the
backstage past yere KYBN ninety eight point one, your Bay

Welcome to another edition of Backstage Pass powered by the
Sports Guys Podcast with your host Brandon Morel.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
And back here Morgan Miles on the Backstage Pass again
powered by that website, the Sports Guys Podcast dot com.
And of course a lot of things going on right
now too with the office party's weddings. Everybody's doing something
out there. I don't like to use that word, I
say weddings, but anyway, if you're celebrating something, give me
a call out there to visit the Sports Guys Podcast
dot com. And it was the wrong choice of such
(31:29):
a good friend of mine too, and I love celebrating
with people. Let me just say this, I get to
get to soft my chest because there is a podcast
we've just saying, uh, whatever happened, He's a fool. Let
me just say that you're a great lady and uh,
guess guess what, she's out there open market. But I'll
say this, he's a fool for what whatever happened. I
don't even know the whole situation, but I'll say this, Uh,
(31:50):
one of the best ladies out there all around, thank you.
Let's put it that way. And I don't have to
know the whole situation to know how wonderful of a person,
uh she is. So we'll just say, you know what,
how does that sound?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I'm using the title of the song right here on
the backstage. Best tell us a little bit about this
when you mentioned how it kind of came full circle
from weight of your words to case the ros serenade.
Of course, laced it means things like that, but this
one had a nice ring to it, and it delivered
a great strong message.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I thought, Yeah, I mean, I think it's a really
I don't typically write like like love songs can be
really cheesy if you're not careful when you're writing them,
and I felt like this one was really rooted, just
like a very rooted, authentic type of love, you know,
Like it's so hard for me to talk about this,
(32:40):
but it is, like Okay, like eventually I hope that
I find this person that it's just about truly being together,
and this song is just like it's that value of
the gratitude of finding your soulmate and it's just like
the things that you would do on the everyday level,
this simple blessings in life together.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
And that's it's hard for me sitting here as the interviewer, going,
you know what, I got to ask her about these
sold situations for once you put them out there. She's like,
I said, I'm no shortest for words and you've known
me for years. But it's like, man, how do you
ask these questions?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
After all I know? And I'm like, how the hell
do I answer them?
Speaker 5 (33:18):
You know?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
It's like, but I mean, I'm trying my best just
to say everything I can.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
It's just like I said, it's just it's just life.
And I've been through a lot worse than this, you know,
like I really have, and it's I'll find the silver
lining in it. I think at the end of the day,
I think I was I was somebody to help him grow.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Hey tell us about one that people can't hear as
of right now. But I really enjoyed American skyt off
of there too when I got a chance.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
A lot of people are talking about that one that
are hearing it, and I really really love that song
as well. I really just took you know, I felt
like it's really if I don't sit there and actually
write a song about what's going on in our world,
I think that's kind of insane. So really, what I did,
(34:16):
I just took things that I feel like aren't by
partisan issues. I think that we're all struggling with understanding,
and so I took American Sky is basically the look
of like the sky being a mother and overlooking and
looking out what's going on, and and I think it's
just written really really like metaphorically beautiful, and you know,
(34:39):
the first line is just talking how we're sitting on
our cell phones and and that kind of thing. So
now I'm really pumped about it. It's the it was
the last pick of the album, and now it's like
kind of a front runner. It's so funny how that works.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I love there's a couple of the in there too
that really definitely caught my attention. That the whole thing
caught my attention, because anything she puts out it's just
gonna turn the gold. I always say that moment of mercy.
Now this this was digging pretty deep here. This was
like because we've all we've all been there, and we
can again shape ourselves and really mold ourselves into the
music and the flow of this record too. But man,
that one really hit home for me too, no doubt,
(35:19):
thank you.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
I you know, it was going to be one of
the focus tracks, but I got so scared that people
were gonna just I was gonna have to cut it
up in fifteen second clips and I was like, no,
this isn't full on message. Like the one thing I'm
very very like, I'm a super person that's always going
to say, like, you guys need to have faith because
that's the only thing that's going to get you through.
(35:40):
And in the chorus, I'm like, what the hell is faith?
Faith without a little grace, grace to get out out
of my own way. And when you when you question faith,
that's when you're gonna have that deeper connection with God
and that deeper gratitude and everything. And I think that's
like that's kind of the point where you either deepen
your faith or you just run away from it. But
(36:00):
at the end of the day, you're always going to
be searching for those questions and those answers. So it's
such a deep song of when you break down and
that's your time. That's a moment to talk to God too.
Don't talk to good it all the time, but go there.
And yeah, I mean I listen to that song and
it still brings tears to my eyes. I wrote it
(36:23):
right after too, like I lost my grandmother like like
three days before that, and I was like, do I
cancel my trip to Austin, Texas to write after the
funeral or do I write it out and just like
go there? And I chose to go there, as I
normally vulnerably do, and like so I figured that would
(36:45):
be a like a pretty intense time for me to
get that that writing out and so that was a
pretty productive That was a fifteen hour song.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Wow, right, amazing, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Well, you know, when you get back to Texas, you know,
you gotta let me know because we're coming back to Houston.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
What is that mucky ducks over there where I saw it?
Speaker 1 (37:05):
You need to go and I see there's a duck
in the upper left corner. It was like a lucky Duck.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Remember that we went over there especially to catch that
show too, and just what a warm crowd, warm reception.
But you know, it's kind of just really cool man
to watch it. And like I said, I saw you
do a lot of the acoustic writers rounds things in
Nashville for c MA week and for somebody that's just
never been to see you live, I just I'm gonna
just kind of build them that again and say, man,
go see her, because manages a treat. You love what
you do, very passionate about it. On stage. It really
(37:35):
just feels like it's just like a calling for you
to do this, and so the easier flawless. But when
you sit up on stage, just like you give people
an experience that they're not gonna get a lot of
other places. It's so soothing, so good out there, and
it just it's amazing. And I want to talk about Yes,
my favorite song here just a little bit too, that
came off the first record that she put out there
when we met six or seven years ago. But speaking
(37:56):
of that, so many great ladies are doing their thing
right now.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
You see that.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I mean, Priscilla Block puts out this new record last
week and building on it from so many different people. Obviously,
Laney's the queen Bee, but Ella Langley's killing it right now. Man,
this class of female artists is really good.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Would you agree?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
I totally agree. And what's even kind of crazier though
that like we still have the shed the light that
we're still only eight percent of the radio. So I
think women though, we're just we're continuing to just pile
on through because if not like it's been fifteen years
of this, maybe more, we're probably at like seventeen or
eighteen years of only having like a small percentage of
(38:37):
the radio. So please, please please, guys, like more than ever,
the females need the love and support because we have
everything stacked against us when it comes to just trying
to get out there. So I'm very happy for Ella
and Laney, and I just hope some more get added
to the lineup. I mean, Priscilla is killing it, but
(38:59):
you know it's the the country radio thing is definitely
a gatekeeper for sure. And I just was thinking about,
like I have a one to two percent chance, like,
and I'm like, do I take that gamble? Like, because
there was a song out there called Nobody in Nashville
Wantn't you hear? I think it's just gonna be nobody
in Nashville, but it's gotta be nobody in Nashville. Wants
(39:20):
you Here is a crowd favorite, and I was playing
it with Drew Baldred and we were talking like you
gotta take this radio, and I was like, and I
you know, I'm like sitting there thinking, I'm like, man,
but like the percentage, it's like what a gamble. If
I was a man, maybe I should just have a
gas sing it with me and then maybe but it
would make no sense guy second with it. But you
(39:43):
know what I mean. So everybody just literally just hopefully
it's just kind of like a little education moment. That's
where it's still out like the CMAS and the ACMs.
It might look like country females are all over the place,
but when it comes down into the actual numbers game,
(40:03):
they have to play eight male artists before they play
one female. So you start doing the math, it don't
may up, y'all. So for me, I don't really care,
Like obviously that's not like if that was still my
dream of just like trying to have a number one
in country radio, I just feel like I would have
been done in toast. I just feel like my mission
(40:24):
is music. I believe it helps people. I believe it's therapy.
I believe like I'm just put on this earth as
a purpose, and I keep saying, God, I'm in your hands.
Just let me be a vessel to bring people together.
My favorite part of the show that you haven't even seen, Brandon.
For the last year, I have been writing music on
(40:46):
the spot for the last thirty minutes of a show.
I at the beginning, I pass around a note card
and I ask everybody put a hook of a song
that you feel like could be a song. I'm gonna
make songwriters out of you tonight. And I just take
some of their cards and I make music on the
spot and people are in teered and they're so touched,
and it's one of the most like, like God moments
(41:09):
every time. It's so spiritual. Every time these these moments happen,
whether I'm writing something that's very about love or if
it's a faith thing or something funny, even it's just
been like such a fun part of the show and
I never know what I'm going to get, so it's
it's been really fun and it's something that's very different.
But that's what sets my soul on fire, is just
(41:29):
truly connecting with people, and more than ever, people need it.
Our youth needs it so much because they don't even
know what they're missing out. So I think my goal
in life is just to continue to really go guide.
It's not just about us individually, it's about us coming
together and that's where the power is. So yeah, that
(41:51):
was my rant.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
I love the rank because, like I said, I need
to put someone on the next show. I go to
on a note card and say, I'm going to put
a hook here, which I've never been good at, but
I could probably come up a little that's something vulnerable
and just put it out there.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Wait, what's what's the what's your line?
Speaker 3 (42:07):
I gotta come up with that.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
See, I'm trying to think if I could do like
a I don't know, something of like Grand Slam. We
talk about this being music, sports entertainment, but like everybody
kind of wants that shining moment or something or some
kind of that'd.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Be great because then he can be like, you know,
like but to be kind of an emotional thing.
Speaker 6 (42:28):
Be like like I may I may this today, but
then maybe you go. Then they came on on and
on it eid and and at the end of the.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Day, that's a Grand Slam to me anyway. And it's
just about the little things that you walk away with.
So like, you know, blah blah blah might have lost
the game, but at that moment he like figured out
something about himself or something and and and that was
the or his dad showed up for the first time
watch and that was the Grand Slam. So like it'd
(43:04):
be cool to like you figure out a bunch of
like vignette stories and then at the that's the Grand slams.
And it could be cool to have a song called
Grand Slam.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
See all right, see we have to come up with
something now too. Do you work on that?
Speaker 2 (43:18):
You get back to me and we'll see. We come
up with a tune and she comes Morgan Miles like
theme song for c may or CRS week and just
putting it.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 7 (43:30):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
We're in a day and age when people are releasing
songs every day.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
I love it, which is great. I'll tell you this.
I went over to uh the Nashville Sounds game. When
I was there, it was really cool to catch a
game out there, and uh, in that Germantown area, I
know Brooklyn Bulls like right there and then down the street.
I love, you know, a big pizza connoisseur. Here on
the show we talked about pizza, so we're kind of
blue in the face. But there was a place called
(43:56):
three one two Pizza and it was Chicago style. Yeah,
it's actually really good and a couple of friends take
us over there and kind of enjoy that. So what
was your favorite meal seem a week.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
I'm probably at home. It definitely wasn't at Tin Roof
when I had a Casadia. Now I'm not going to
put those casadias down. It's the tin Roof though, like
if you I'm a Casadia queen because it's just you know,
you can't go wrong with cheese, chicken and a tortilla shell.
And so I have one thing that I had down there.
Speaker 10 (44:30):
But I mean my.
Speaker 1 (44:31):
Nashville like go to in town. I mean, gosh, I
don't even know. I really really love Athens. I love
Greek food. So Athens is kind of like it's been
around forever and it's super late night too. And they
moved over by Belmont, which is where I used to
go to school. But like, if you want like some
(44:51):
like street Greek cuisine, but like a bunch of other stuff.
Their menu is huge. It's really selling this.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
Which is good. We need to sell food on this show.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
Yes, but I'm like, I love like stuffed grape leave.
I love like I am such a weirdo, but I love,
I really really love Greek food. Like, oh yes, all
day long, all day on, all day long.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
Greek food.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
All right, we'll finish with this one because I know
it's probably one of the most asked questions. I always
ask you about it too, because I love the song
and you played it for me, and I'll still say
that thank you for playing it from every time we
get to a show out there. Sanctuary it just it
is what it is when it comes out, you take
us to church. Just's off that first record therapy out there.
If people haven't heard it, and of course if you
haven't heard it, always say somebody, you've been hitting under
(45:39):
a rock or you just don't listen as much music
as I do. But at the same time, always request
for it on stage.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
What makes it?
Speaker 2 (45:46):
And of course I know the answer to this, But
for people that haven't heard it, what just makes it
a great song in general, not really genre specific, but
it just the way you deliver it. It just makes
it about life, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (45:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
Yeah, I'm a big Carol King fan, and I think
the way she constructs her songs is it's more there's
like generalizations that everyone can like kind of just fit into,
like that problem. So what I love about Sanctuary is
it shifts. It shifts and like with the chapters and
seasons of your life. So I think that's why it's
(46:23):
kind of like relatable on many levels. It's not so
just like niche. It's it's a really moment. It's a prayer.
I mean, I wrote it, you know, when my cousin
got diagnosed with blamel blastoma brain cancer at thirty, and
I was writing it from a place of prayer. And
(46:43):
obviously now when I play it, it kind of shifts
into different reasons. But two and it's also an energy
that I try to give out to just I just
want people to know that they're not alone in their struggle.
And I don't know why. I think we have created
a culture that vulnerability is like shameful and like close,
you know, and we got to get away from that
(47:04):
because I think that's why a huge reason mental health
is so bad, like and so anyways, I just think
Sanctuary it's not about a building. It's about like the
connection of when you are together in that that's the sanctuary,
and when that's how you get closer to God. Is
(47:25):
the connection with other people and doing the right thing.
So I feel like it's just a faith song, and
I think some people are really touched by it because
you never know what they're walking into in that room
and what they need, and a lot of artists probably
are afraid to even go there. For me, I'm like, no,
(47:46):
let's start this off with a hallelujah.
Speaker 6 (47:48):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
I started start my thing off with Sanctuary a lot
of times, and then I close it with hallelujah, you know,
And but that's IM.
Speaker 18 (47:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (47:58):
It's what I feel like I should do.
Speaker 3 (48:01):
No doubt.
Speaker 2 (48:01):
It's brought a dear to my eye more than one time.
And listening to it either in the car or live

Speaker 3 (01:09):
My friend, how you doing?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Oh my gosh, well, thank you for that intro. I'm
doing well. I'm doing well. How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
It's good?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
You know where I mentioned ready for cooler temperatures to
come in to Texas here, but I'm sure Nashville too.
But it just feels like it's all this warming trend
we're on right now.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
So we got to go.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Oh no.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I was up in Michigan two days ago for through
and I'm like, wow, we hit fall with a bang.
So I mean, it's definitely getting cold in some places,
for sure, the leaves are changing. But yeah, it's pretty
hot here's till us like in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, Texas to eighties down here too. You're like, when's
the warm warm where they're going to go away in
the cooler air going to take over too? But it
is fall, and it's kind of cool because I'll say, look,
my favorite holiday. I guess you call it a holiday too.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I love Halloween. Now.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
My kid's now coming up on six years old next year,
but now she gets a chance to really understand what
this whole K pop Demon Hunters thing is all about now,
So she's hooked on this too, but I told her,
I said, it's totally different than Morgan Miles music. So
she's singing your songs, but at the same time, she's
got this K pop demon hunter thing on it. I'm
not a big fan of it too, but I'll look
for I'll say this, it took the nation by storm.
(02:18):
And if she wants to be I think it's Zoe Halloween.
She could be whatever she wants to be, right.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So, I mean, every kid is obsessed with this. It's
like all my cousins kids like everything. But listen, they're
fans of Morgan Miles too. You can be both, Okay,
I'll take all y'all.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Well, you tell us what's going on with this. I
love it.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Laced is across all the DSPs, or at least a
few songs are the full length records February of next year,
looking at this for twenty twenty six. But I will
say this, man, I've gotten to listen to the whole thing,
cover to cover, hints start a podcast.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You can get music in advanced I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
When I listened to it, I love it because again,
it's authentic, it's original songs and so things you and
I were talking about, I think in Nashville at Sea
May week, were telling me about this whole project and
kind of laying and honest, and you know what, I'm
excited about these songs, this body of work. And you know,
for the people that pre order down, they get a
few tunes out there for songs in particular, fantastic work.
Tell everybody about this. I know you're excited.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, I mean we we wrote eighty songs in five months.
I have a Grammy Award winning producer behind it. Definitely
the best record I've ever made, Definitely the longest one
that it's ever taken me. And this song is a
diary of It's a lot of times people only focus
on maybe the heartbreak, or they only focus on the
(03:35):
falling and the love part. But I've also focused on
the getting back up and the the faith side. So
it's the embodiment of the gamut of what we go
through in life. And so it is like my diary.
I'm very vulnerable in it. Vulnerability to me is strength,
and it's you know, it's so hard to put yourself
(03:57):
out there all the time, it really is. But at
the end of the day, I just feel like God
gave me a gift to do so. So this is
definitely an album that I really hope reaches the right
people that need it for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, and a lot of good songs there too. You
and you mentioned you wrote, you know a lot of
songs for this too. How hard is it to kind
of make that differentiation for what is written out there
because you have so many great stories to tell between
all those songs. You mentioned eighty songs and narrow it
down to like twelve and really kind of get the
right twelve songs for a project.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
It's got to be challenging, right.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
You know. I really just trusted my producer on this
one because every song I turned in I was really
just loved. They're all my little babies. It's interesting how
when we when he chose the songs, you know what
it's manifested into today. I mean a week from now,
I was supposed to be having my wedding and a
lot of these songs were you know, this whole journey
(04:57):
of like what I thought was going to happen, what
didn't happen. Also, just like love and the ups and
downs of just everything, And I feel like we all
go through so much of this like up and down
emotions in our lives, and it's you know a lot
of times we just don't understand why all this shit's
happening to us all the time, you know, And then
then we look at it in the rear view mirror,
(05:19):
we're able to put perspective. But you know, all of
these songs are really fitting for things that A I
need to hold myself accountable to be perspective, like see
like just absolutely in the middle of the heartbreak, but
also the beginning part of falling in love. I mean,
(05:39):
my very first song that we were releasing for this
album was how does that Sound? I wrote this song
when I was in love and falling in love. And
the craziest thing was this was planned to be coming out,
you know, a long time ago, and then I did
not know that. Just like right when I'm releasing it,
(06:00):
I'm going through the actual breakup, and I'm like, are
you kidding me? I'm singing a lovey dovey song that
I wrote about my now ex fiance. I mean, are
you kidding me? You can't make this shit up? And
it was just like gosh, you know, like and you
compartmentalize it, you keep going through it, and you know,
and then I just kind of kind of put it
out there because every show I got to I already
(06:22):
I've already played like one hundred and fifty shows this year,
so I had like fifty shows in that first quarter,
and every time people were coming up to me saying,
congratulations on your engagement. Well, that's the funny thing about
these algorithms that we're talking about. So I decided that
I needed to just kind of be I can't just
promote something lovey dovey right now. So I was just like, wow,
(06:44):
this is crazy. I'm going to be on a healing journey.
I still because I want to still believe in love,
and I do, but it was like when you're in
the sick of it, you feel so isolated. Your world
just feels so small. And so yeah, I did a
thirty day healing journey and then finally people realize that
I had definitely broken up with this person, so that
(07:04):
you know, I and granted I still last weekend I
was in Texas and or the weekend before and no
last weekend, man, I don't know what days and somebody
walked up to me and said, aren't you getting married?
This month, and I go, oh, hell no. And then
I got somebody going, didn't you break up with him
(07:26):
like a year ago? And I go, oh, hell no,
it was just several months ago. Oh my gosh. But
it's it's in this day and age songwriting it's crazy
because that's our safe place and we go into our
little therapy rooms and we write beautiful music. And back
in the day, how I grew up was that's that's
(07:46):
for everybody to take and you guys figure out what
this song is about. And maybe we have a press
or some radio interviews, but nothing crazy. But this social
media world, it's like, I have to talk about this song.
I'm like, your love was laced laced in hate, laced
in shame, and date I'm like, what do you think
it's about?
Speaker 5 (08:05):
You know?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
And people are like, you need to get over it,
and I'm like, I'm over it. I'm doing really well,
to be honest. It's just the fact of, like I
have to talk about this music from a very real
place and it's just a crazy I guess it's keeping
the narrative going, but I really just it's my social
(08:27):
media is definitely a nemesis for me because it's just like,
oh ah, but whatever. I always put all my stuff
out there. I'm an open book and I am and
I really haven't said it all. Believe me, I have
not said many things, and somehow I'm still protecting that person.
So it is what it is. It's not my place
to say. But hopefully one day, you know, he'll grow
(08:50):
from that experience.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I think, like I said, time heals all those wounds,
no doubt. And you mentioned, like I said, you're a
strong person.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
We love it. You've opened up to me over the years.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
We've become very good friends outside of just interview to
INTERVIEWEE and stuff like that, and getting to know each
other as best friends. And I can tell you this
is just some great music out there in general, and
it really tells a lot of great stories and really
resonates with someone who's going through the same thing that
you went through. And You're right, we all need to
take a step back and heal too. But I love
listening to this song. We're gonna play it for you
right now. It's from the new record out there too.
(09:20):

Welcome to another edition of Backstage Pass, powered by the
Sports Guys Podcast with your host Brandon Morell.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And back here Morgan Miles on the program. Here lace
the current record. It's across all the DSPs, or at
least a few songs that keep saying that it feels
like current. It's going to be here before you know
at February thirteenth of twenty twenty six. Pre order now
Morgan Miles live dot com for more information. Out there too,
and love this song, and you know you mentioned therefore,
I played the music video for everybody, and of course
listening out there across all the affiliates, the song was
(16:51):
You're right going through those tough times in life, but
you know, you had something to be able to tell
a story, and I felt this song really just did justice.
It did what it was supposed to do, Like it
really put the thoughts in the back of the minds
of people that have been through those tough relationships and
how we come out stronger on the other side.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
You know, yeah, for sure. I think like the songs,
like the four songs that I've released so far, I
had a giggle the other night because it's like, how
does that sound? Is like, oh, look, she's falling in love.
And then the second one is like wight of your words, like, oh,
shit's starting to hit the fin he's saying savvy shin,
(17:30):
he's weaponizing words. Then Lace is like we done, we
over and now case Ara is like I'm healed. Yay,
like perspective wisdom.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
He told me a funny story with that one. Let's
bring it up to people. Because when I did it,
I was like, okay, case Sarad and the serenade, So
it was easy to see those words because I'm not,
like I said, the greatest Spanish speaker. I do know,
like I said the very little bit there too. But
like when you see that song when you hear yourself
deliver it, like it was so easy to not get
that mixed up. But tell me that story because we
were laughing before we actually went live and did this too,
(18:04):
like recorded this looking back, because you had some really
different vibes of that song come out, like this was
really funny when you said that, because they mistaked it
for something else. But I was like, when you read it,
you can only say.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, case theme.
Speaker 16 (18:19):
No.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
People thought it was k soo raw like geez like
melted cheese, and I was like they had to get
so confused by the time they got to the chorus.
You're like, like, maybe I don't even know what the
thought process was. I mean I would hope like for me,
I just feel like chat GBT, what is this or shit,
damn it, or you know, something like look it up,
(18:42):
please look it up. If this is what's so funny?
People comment, you know, without even thinking anymore. You're just
like I would not have commented. But there were several
people that thought it was literally about case so and
I'm like, oh my gosh, too clever.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I've literally said so many times in my life. And
then maybe I'm just a weird out.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Let's just chure, Well, you're not a weirdo. You're not.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I want to ask you about I know we've talked
about this on previous shows we've done or live in
Nashville when I've been there to doing the show. Love
it because uh, I always look back and a voice
was a great opportunity for you too. And I'll never
forget when you stepped on that stage and I'm like,
this is going to add to her arsenal, It's going
to give her something to go even further to the
next level, because she's one of the hardest working people
I know in the industry. But and you knew a
(19:34):
lot coming into that show. But you were telling me
too what that show had done for you coming off
of it again to learn from some of the best
coaches who've done it all the industry and kind of
laid it on the line for their reputation, their brands,
their music, things like that.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
So like, give me a.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Little bit more and kind of build on what it
was like knowing that you're going into a competition like
that even after what you've been through in music, and
then kind of what you learned and what you took
away from when that time ended on The Voice.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I mean, for me, I think I was in a
place of, like, you know, all the artists, we got
hit so hard with the pandemic, and then I had
a really messed up management situation, and then I had
a booking agent that was committing fraud. It was just
like bang, bang bang. And so I've been asked to
(20:21):
be in the casting for The Voice for like nine
years something crazy like that, and I kind of just thought,
you know what, why not, Like I still really want
to get my story out there, and I feel like
every time I just I'm always hit with something like
massive like this, like why why can't I just like
find like a little open window. And so when I
(20:43):
did it, it was very, very scary because I had
been in Nashville for seventeen years before going on the show,
and you know, you're sitting there and you're like, if
those chairs don't turn, like I'm going to be just
completely embarrassed and ashamed. And so the fact that I'm
still the reigning fastest four chare term in the history
(21:03):
of the television show is very validating. And you know,
I got everything out of the show that I wanted
because I didn't want to walk away with winning because
of I did not want that record deal that was
attached to it. I knew it wasn't going to serve
somebody like me and the best that I could. And
so after it, I signed a record deal with a
(21:24):
great label, bluel Records, that's super artist friendly and supportive
of me and I'm a priority and every so everything
worked out the way that it needed to. I think
for me, the biggest takeaway was like the Cat like
the crew of The Voice, they really all came up
to me individually, and these are people that are just
so high up in the television world and their craft
(21:47):
and everything, and they're like, you really know who you
are as an artist, and you're just so authentic through
and through and you were so talented and just please
believe your believe in yourself and keep going like you know,
and I there was so many of those things said
to me, not only by John Legend, and you know,
John Legend even went on television to say that I
(22:08):
was the best country singer that's ever been on the
television show. So like, I think for me, it was
all the really validating comments that kept happening that obviously
I needed because my self esteem was so low at
that point just about everything that I had been through,
and so yeah, and it's still hurt to kind of
(22:31):
walk away and feel the loss. But like I kept saying, Morgan,
that's what you wanted, but you still got to go. Okay.
So now I was on the platform, where do we
go from here? And you know we I mean, I
toured so much after that, and I still am like,
we haven't stopped and everything's just been moving and grooving
(22:52):
on the way up. So I mean, I'm really glad
that I did it. And you know, the voice has
a lot of it has a huge fan base, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I'm not surprised. It was the fastest fore chair turn.
I think I told you that at CMA week in Nashville.
I want I walked over there and watch you guys
perform some of your shows and the reactions you get
from crowds is amazing. So I was encourage and tell
people to get out to one of those shows. Check
her out. She's always busy and has done fifty states
worldwide and old artist workers in the business, has been
to Texas and I'll tell you what man, if you
(23:23):
guys want to get out to a show, it's worth
the ticket, worth the price of admission. And I'm just
telling you that firsthand. For a guy that knows his
music out there, knows what the ear likes to hear,
no doubt about it too. All right, we got to
play another one off the record you released it. You
mentioned one of those four songs, So how does that sound?
We're gonna answer that question coming back here on the
backstage past yere KYBN ninety eight point one, your Bay

a good friend of mine too, and I love celebrating

get to soft my chest because there is a podcast
we've just saying, uh, whatever happened, He's a fool. Let
me just say that you're a great lady and uh,
guess guess what, she's out there open market. But I'll
say this, he's a fool for what whatever happened. I
don't even know the whole situation, but I'll say this, Uh,
(31:50):
one of the best ladies out there all around, thank you.
Let's put it that way. And I don't have to
know the whole situation to know how wonderful of a person,
uh she is. So we'll just say, you know what,
how does that sound?

Speaker 2 (32:01):
I'm using the title of the song right here on
the backstage. Best tell us a little bit about this
when you mentioned how it kind of came full circle
from weight of your words to case the ros serenade.
Of course, laced it means things like that, but this
one had a nice ring to it, and it delivered
a great strong message.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I thought, Yeah, I mean, I think it's a really
I don't typically write like like love songs can be
really cheesy if you're not careful when you're writing them,
and I felt like this one was really rooted, just
like a very rooted, authentic type of love, you know,
Like it's so hard for me to talk about this,
(32:40):
but it is, like Okay, like eventually I hope that
I find this person that it's just about truly being together,
and this song is just like it's that value of
the gratitude of finding your soulmate and it's just like
the things that you would do on the everyday level,
this simple blessings in life together.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
And that's it's hard for me sitting here as the interviewer, going,
you know what, I got to ask her about these
sold situations for once you put them out there. She's like,
I said, I'm no shortest for words and you've known
me for years. But it's like, man, how do you
ask these questions?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
After all I know? And I'm like, how the hell
do I answer them?
Speaker 5 (33:18):
You know?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
It's like, but I mean, I'm trying my best just
to say everything I can.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
It's just like I said, it's just it's just life.
And I've been through a lot worse than this, you know,
like I really have, and it's I'll find the silver
lining in it. I think at the end of the day,
I think I was I was somebody to help him grow.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Hey tell us about one that people can't hear as
of right now. But I really enjoyed American skyt off
of there too when I got a chance.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
A lot of people are talking about that one that
are hearing it, and I really really love that song
as well. I really just took you know, I felt
like it's really if I don't sit there and actually
write a song about what's going on in our world,
I think that's kind of insane. So really, what I did,
(34:16):
I just took things that I feel like aren't by
partisan issues. I think that we're all struggling with understanding,
and so I took American Sky is basically the look
of like the sky being a mother and overlooking and
looking out what's going on, and and I think it's
just written really really like metaphorically beautiful, and you know,
(34:39):
the first line is just talking how we're sitting on
our cell phones and and that kind of thing. So
now I'm really pumped about it. It's the it was
the last pick of the album, and now it's like
kind of a front runner. It's so funny how that works.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I love there's a couple of the in there too
that really definitely caught my attention. That the whole thing
caught my attention, because anything she puts out it's just
gonna turn the gold. I always say that moment of mercy.
Now this this was digging pretty deep here. This was
like because we've all we've all been there, and we
can again shape ourselves and really mold ourselves into the
music and the flow of this record too. But man,
that one really hit home for me too, no doubt,
(35:19):
thank you.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
I you know, it was going to be one of
the focus tracks, but I got so scared that people
were gonna just I was gonna have to cut it
up in fifteen second clips and I was like, no,
this isn't full on message. Like the one thing I'm
very very like, I'm a super person that's always going
to say, like, you guys need to have faith because
that's the only thing that's going to get you through.
(35:40):
And in the chorus, I'm like, what the hell is faith?
Faith without a little grace, grace to get out out
of my own way. And when you when you question faith,
that's when you're gonna have that deeper connection with God
and that deeper gratitude and everything. And I think that's
like that's kind of the point where you either deepen
your faith or you just run away from it. But
(36:00):
at the end of the day, you're always going to
be searching for those questions and those answers. So it's
such a deep song of when you break down and
that's your time. That's a moment to talk to God too.
Don't talk to good it all the time, but go there.
And yeah, I mean I listen to that song and
it still brings tears to my eyes. I wrote it
(36:23):
right after too, like I lost my grandmother like like
three days before that, and I was like, do I
cancel my trip to Austin, Texas to write after the
funeral or do I write it out and just like
go there? And I chose to go there, as I
normally vulnerably do, and like so I figured that would
(36:45):
be a like a pretty intense time for me to
get that that writing out and so that was a
pretty productive That was a fifteen hour song.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Wow, right, amazing, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Well, you know, when you get back to Texas, you know,
you gotta let me know because we're coming back to Houston.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
What is that mucky ducks over there where I saw it?
Speaker 1 (37:05):
You need to go and I see there's a duck
in the upper left corner. It was like a lucky Duck.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Remember that we went over there especially to catch that
show too, and just what a warm crowd, warm reception.
But you know, it's kind of just really cool man
to watch it. And like I said, I saw you
do a lot of the acoustic writers rounds things in
Nashville for c MA week and for somebody that's just
never been to see you live, I just I'm gonna
just kind of build them that again and say, man,
go see her, because manages a treat. You love what
you do, very passionate about it. On stage. It really
(37:35):
just feels like it's just like a calling for you
to do this, and so the easier flawless. But when
you sit up on stage, just like you give people
an experience that they're not gonna get a lot of
other places. It's so soothing, so good out there, and
it just it's amazing. And I want to talk about Yes,
my favorite song here just a little bit too, that
came off the first record that she put out there
when we met six or seven years ago. But speaking
(37:56):
of that, so many great ladies are doing their thing
right now.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
You see that.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I mean, Priscilla Block puts out this new record last
week and building on it from so many different people. Obviously,
Laney's the queen Bee, but Ella Langley's killing it right now. Man,
this class of female artists is really good.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Would you agree?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
I totally agree. And what's even kind of crazier though
that like we still have the shed the light that
we're still only eight percent of the radio. So I
think women though, we're just we're continuing to just pile
on through because if not like it's been fifteen years
of this, maybe more, we're probably at like seventeen or
eighteen years of only having like a small percentage of
(38:37):
the radio. So please, please please, guys, like more than ever,
the females need the love and support because we have
everything stacked against us when it comes to just trying
to get out there. So I'm very happy for Ella
and Laney, and I just hope some more get added
to the lineup. I mean, Priscilla is killing it, but
(38:59):
you know it's the the country radio thing is definitely
a gatekeeper for sure. And I just was thinking about,
like I have a one to two percent chance, like,
and I'm like, do I take that gamble? Like, because
there was a song out there called Nobody in Nashville
Wantn't you hear? I think it's just gonna be nobody
in Nashville, but it's gotta be nobody in Nashville. Wants
(39:20):
you Here is a crowd favorite, and I was playing
it with Drew Baldred and we were talking like you
gotta take this radio, and I was like, and I
you know, I'm like sitting there thinking, I'm like, man,
but like the percentage, it's like what a gamble. If
I was a man, maybe I should just have a
gas sing it with me and then maybe but it
would make no sense guy second with it. But you
(39:43):
know what I mean. So everybody just literally just hopefully
it's just kind of like a little education moment. That's
where it's still out like the CMAS and the ACMs.
It might look like country females are all over the place,
but when it comes down into the actual numbers game,
(40:03):
they have to play eight male artists before they play
one female. So you start doing the math, it don't
may up, y'all. So for me, I don't really care,
Like obviously that's not like if that was still my
dream of just like trying to have a number one
in country radio, I just feel like I would have
been done in toast. I just feel like my mission
(40:24):
is music. I believe it helps people. I believe it's therapy.
I believe like I'm just put on this earth as
a purpose, and I keep saying, God, I'm in your hands.
Just let me be a vessel to bring people together.
My favorite part of the show that you haven't even seen, Brandon.
For the last year, I have been writing music on
(40:46):
the spot for the last thirty minutes of a show.
I at the beginning, I pass around a note card
and I ask everybody put a hook of a song
that you feel like could be a song. I'm gonna
make songwriters out of you tonight. And I just take
some of their cards and I make music on the
spot and people are in teered and they're so touched,
and it's one of the most like, like God moments
(41:09):
every time. It's so spiritual. Every time these these moments happen,
whether I'm writing something that's very about love or if
it's a faith thing or something funny, even it's just
been like such a fun part of the show and
I never know what I'm going to get, so it's
it's been really fun and it's something that's very different.
But that's what sets my soul on fire, is just
(41:29):
truly connecting with people, and more than ever, people need it.
Our youth needs it so much because they don't even
know what they're missing out. So I think my goal
in life is just to continue to really go guide.
It's not just about us individually, it's about us coming
together and that's where the power is. So yeah, that
(41:51):
was my rant.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
I love the rank because, like I said, I need
to put someone on the next show. I go to
on a note card and say, I'm going to put
a hook here, which I've never been good at, but
I could probably come up a little that's something vulnerable
and just put it out there.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Wait, what's what's the what's your line?
Speaker 3 (42:07):
I gotta come up with that.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
See, I'm trying to think if I could do like
a I don't know, something of like Grand Slam. We
talk about this being music, sports entertainment, but like everybody
kind of wants that shining moment or something or some
kind of that'd.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Be great because then he can be like, you know,
like but to be kind of an emotional thing.
Speaker 6 (42:28):
Be like like I may I may this today, but
then maybe you go. Then they came on on and
on it eid and and at the end of the.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Day, that's a Grand Slam to me anyway. And it's
just about the little things that you walk away with.
So like, you know, blah blah blah might have lost
the game, but at that moment he like figured out
something about himself or something and and and that was
the or his dad showed up for the first time
watch and that was the Grand Slam. So like it'd
(43:04):
be cool to like you figure out a bunch of
like vignette stories and then at the that's the Grand slams.
And it could be cool to have a song called
Grand Slam.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
See all right, see we have to come up with
something now too. Do you work on that?
Speaker 2 (43:18):
You get back to me and we'll see. We come
up with a tune and she comes Morgan Miles like
theme song for c may or CRS week and just
putting it.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 7 (43:30):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
We're in a day and age when people are releasing
songs every day.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
I love it, which is great. I'll tell you this.
I went over to uh the Nashville Sounds game. When
I was there, it was really cool to catch a
game out there, and uh, in that Germantown area, I
know Brooklyn Bulls like right there and then down the street.
I love, you know, a big pizza connoisseur. Here on
the show we talked about pizza, so we're kind of
blue in the face. But there was a place called
(43:56):
three one two Pizza and it was Chicago style. Yeah,
it's actually really good and a couple of friends take
us over there and kind of enjoy that. So what
was your favorite meal seem a week.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
I'm probably at home. It definitely wasn't at Tin Roof
when I had a Casadia. Now I'm not going to
put those casadias down. It's the tin Roof though, like
if you I'm a Casadia queen because it's just you know,
you can't go wrong with cheese, chicken and a tortilla shell.
And so I have one thing that I had down there.
Speaker 10 (44:30):
But I mean my.
Speaker 1 (44:31):
Nashville like go to in town. I mean, gosh, I
don't even know. I really really love Athens. I love
Greek food. So Athens is kind of like it's been
around forever and it's super late night too. And they
moved over by Belmont, which is where I used to
go to school. But like, if you want like some
(44:51):
like street Greek cuisine, but like a bunch of other stuff.
Their menu is huge. It's really selling this.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
Which is good. We need to sell food on this show.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
Yes, but I'm like, I love like stuffed grape leave.
I love like I am such a weirdo, but I love,
I really really love Greek food. Like, oh yes, all
day long, all day on, all day long.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
Greek food.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
All right, we'll finish with this one because I know
it's probably one of the most asked questions. I always
ask you about it too, because I love the song
and you played it for me, and I'll still say
that thank you for playing it from every time we
get to a show out there. Sanctuary it just it
is what it is when it comes out, you take
us to church. Just's off that first record therapy out there.
If people haven't heard it, and of course if you
haven't heard it, always say somebody, you've been hitting under
(45:39):
a rock or you just don't listen as much music
as I do. But at the same time, always request
for it on stage.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
What makes it?
Speaker 2 (45:46):
And of course I know the answer to this, But
for people that haven't heard it, what just makes it
a great song in general, not really genre specific, but
it just the way you deliver it. It just makes
it about life, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (45:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
Yeah, I'm a big Carol King fan, and I think
the way she constructs her songs is it's more there's
like generalizations that everyone can like kind of just fit into,
like that problem. So what I love about Sanctuary is
it shifts. It shifts and like with the chapters and
seasons of your life. So I think that's why it's
(46:23):
kind of like relatable on many levels. It's not so
just like niche. It's it's a really moment. It's a prayer.
I mean, I wrote it, you know, when my cousin
got diagnosed with blamel blastoma brain cancer at thirty, and
I was writing it from a place of prayer. And
(46:43):
obviously now when I play it, it kind of shifts
into different reasons. But two and it's also an energy
that I try to give out to just I just
want people to know that they're not alone in their struggle.
And I don't know why. I think we have created
a culture that vulnerability is like shameful and like close,
you know, and we got to get away from that
(47:04):
because I think that's why a huge reason mental health
is so bad, like and so anyways, I just think
Sanctuary it's not about a building. It's about like the
connection of when you are together in that that's the sanctuary,
and when that's how you get closer to God. Is
(47:25):
the connection with other people and doing the right thing.
So I feel like it's just a faith song, and
I think some people are really touched by it because
you never know what they're walking into in that room
and what they need, and a lot of artists probably
are afraid to even go there. For me, I'm like, no,
(47:46):
let's start this off with a hallelujah.
Speaker 6 (47:48):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
I started start my thing off with Sanctuary a lot
of times, and then I close it with hallelujah, you know,
And but that's IM.
Speaker 18 (47:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (47:58):
It's what I feel like I should do.
Speaker 3 (48:01):
No doubt.
Speaker 2 (48:01):
It's brought a dear to my eye more than one time.
