Speaker 3 (01:43):
Peyton Porter, what's going on, my friend?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Just living the dream here in Nashville.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I'm writing a song that Saint I want to ask
you about that and right, get it, get out of it, right,
jump on an interview, so I always got to ask
that question, how did the writer's round go?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Because something created from nothing comes out of it?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Right, Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
We actually finished up a song that we started in
June or July and tried to start another one.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Kept bumping our.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Head against the wall, and we're like, should we just
go back and finish that one that we know we
like already and that isn't done, and so we got it.
We got it wrapped up literally like four minutes before
I hopped on here.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So it's perfect timing.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
I know you're telling us that we get this thing
going this afternoon if she's in right now too, And
like I said, always love that magic coming out of
those great writers' rounds. Well, I'm not gonna waste the
time he because I want to play this one too,
because I love it. The single just came out for
you guys, Blue Calls. Tell us all about.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It, Blue Calls.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
It's explicit, Yes, I honestly, it's like the girl version
of frustration.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And I was trying to.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Get this guy to come over and he wouldn't answer
the phone, and I did not handle that. Well, I
don't really handle rejection very well. And so I did
what I usually do, which is go into my notes
app and say everything that I want to save you
a text message and I save my pride from sending
(03:13):
something embarrassing and just make a song out of it.
So I went and rambled like most of this chorus
in my notes app instead of texting him some crazy stuff.
And then the next day went into my right and
was like, boy, do I have something to say today?
So I wrote this is one other person, and I'm
(03:34):
really pumped about it is. It's pretty pop for what
I do, but it's lyric and it is honest, so
it's fun.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I love the title of it. Explicit too out there
too as well. We're going to play here on the
backstage pass right now. I'm not gonna wait around Peyton Porter.

things out there too, and told it like it was
(09:07):
assassin attitude.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I mean, you've got that now, you're right it It
had a pop feel too, it.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Didn't it yep, yep, it's h It's definitely me letting
my intrusive thoughts win for a full like three minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
It sure is.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Hey, let's go back and revisit the record twenty twenty two.
I think that's when you and I first met through
a number of great people out there in my head,
you know, as you go through and you get a
song like Therapy which was on there too, which I
loved so much, and you kind of recollect back on
this album what do you remember best and kind of
hit on some of the highlights like when it came
out as far as the body of work and the
(09:43):
selection of songs. And I really like, I dug this album.
I felt a lot of songs on it, talk about
that fort okay.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I love that project and I'm so proud.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Of in my Head and all of the songs on it.
And it was, honestly, so so much was changed, So
much was happening so fast, because that was like right
when it was like every video I was posting on
TikTok was getting so many eyes and ears and interactions,
and I kind of had started using TikTok so that
(10:14):
I would backlog things so that when I started putting
out music, I would have something for fans to go
back to. But then it kind of got ahead of me,
and so when I look back on that time, I
think about just how fun and exciting everything was, and
how pink everything got. I did not ever really plan
on everything being pink themed. It just kind of a
(10:37):
lot of it was so fast and so exciting that
I was reacting to a lot. And I think about
just young me going through it, and I'm like, man,
just keep your head on you just get through, and
like enjoy the winds and enjoy the excitement. And I
love a lot of those songs. And now I've started
(10:58):
expanding my social circle and some of my new friends.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Will be like, my favorite song is Champagne Problems. Why
don't you play that one live? And I'm like, I
didn't know anyone.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Still liked that song.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I'll throw it back in the set. So it's been
cool to kind.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Of get to see these songs resurfacing and get a
second life through meeting new people.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I was going to ask you about that one too,
because that was one of the ones that a lot
of people dug out there a lot of feedback I
got to it from our syndicated stations out there. Champagne Problems,
the writing behind it, the lyrics, the story us tell
us all about how it came about.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, that one.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I actually wrote that one with a guy named Kenny Foss,
and that's who I was just writing with today and
it was one of the first songs we wrote together,
and it was just me being honest.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I was like, Man, all these people are.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Talking about how this is hard and this is hard,
but I think I could really use some Champagne Problems.
I think I could spend money a little bit wiser
and I could spread it. And the reason it made
the record was because there was this contest going on
to win free rent in Nashville, and my publisher found
it and was like, you should enter to win this contest.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You need somewhere to live, and like free rent would
be awesome for you.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
And so I posted Champagne Problems on TikTok and was like,
I'm trying to get a free place to stay. This
is a song I wrote about how I could use
some more money than I have, and it went big.
A bunch of people saw it and liked it, and
so when we got that big response on the demo,
I was like, well, this one has to be on
the project. So many people love it, so that one's
(12:33):
so much fun and it's actually back in the set.
It's a lot of fun to play.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
I love it too, got a great ring to it,
and then I love who talked about it mentioned the
title there we all need a little bit of therapy
these days to step back and really reflect on life
in general, and I think you did this one justice.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Tell us all about it.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Therapy was the first song that I wrote that felt
like it was mine as an artist.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I wrote it back in twenty nineteen, I think, and
I wrote it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
With some of my best friends at the time, and
I just remember I was going through this horrible breakup
and the only way I could get through it was
parking in all the places that reminded me of him
until it didn't hurt to be there anymore. Because he
had come to visit me in Nashville and like kind
of ruined all these favorite spots because he would just
pull some crazy stuff and I'd be upset, and so
(13:23):
I would just go park and cry until it didn't
hurt anymore.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
And I was like, this is my therapy.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I'm like reclaiming my favorite places from him, and so
I told them that and I was like, I can't
afford to see a professional, so this is my free
version of it. And we wrote therapy that day, and
then I tried to hide it. I was like, I
don't want anyone to hear this song until I have
a team around me to like do it right, and
to some degree I did. I just kind of put
(13:49):
it in my pocket and kept it underground, and it
was my first single, and I knew it was how
I wanted to introduce myself to the world. And I
think based on the streaming numbers alone, it still is
my biggest hit so far, and so I'm happy that
I got to keep it and it became part of
my story as an artist because it was a huge
(14:09):
part of my story as a person and a songwriter.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Well, you're a great songwriter. Let me just go and
get that out of the way.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
You didn't pay us for that for me to say that,
But I know what she is because I've got to
know her very well off the year too, at the
same time, as we try to get to know a
lot of our guests here on the personal side, just
more of the interviews I've seen you and at work,
and I love it because you and I can talk
music to the cows come home too. But looking back,
as you go through your process, what is your favorite
part of the whole songwriting process as you kind of.
Speaker 19 (14:37):
Dealt through it changes by day by day, it changes
room by room, but generally I think it's it's amazing
that I get to make up stuff for a living
and I literally get to part of my job is
just experiencing life and then capturing it and then sharing
(14:58):
it like that is the dream job for me.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And in some seasons I've been better at capturing things
than others. At some seasons, I've been really good at
writing but not really living. And so I feel like
I'm in this in between spot where I'm finding the
importance of the balance of both.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Because you can come in and.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Be like, oh, I saw the color blue today, Let's
write a song called blue. And that's a different thing
than being like, my heart's broken and I need to
talk about it. And so I love that it's my job,
Like I think that's it's just the biggest gift ever
to get to write songs.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
And I also love in the process.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It's almost like puzzles, like except for you, there's no
certain way to make a right one. You're choosing what
the shape of the puzzle is. You're choosing what colors
are going where at the same time, and so it
feels like a brain game.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Every day.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
You're just kind of digging and you can be like, well,
I think it should go this way, but then you
just have these like creative instincts that are like, it's
not the way the song's wanting to go. I have
to follow where it's.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Wanting to take us.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
So it feels very much so like tapping into something
bigger than us, and that's a really cool space to
get to live in. Day to day. It's just like
tapping into whatever it's trying to filter itself into the
planet through songwriters.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
And some days it's there, some days it's not, and
you just keep.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Showing up and hoping that eventually something's going to fall
out of the sky, and some days it does.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I love that to you said that, because favorite thing
to do never nobody's ever said that you're on the
show too get to get paid and also too hope
it resonates with somebody. I love doing it because I
just get to make things up, so that's.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I'll be making them up either way. Like in my
head is all about me making stuff up. If I've
got too creative of a mind to be left alone
for too long, because I will if I don't know
where someone's at, I'll decide where they're at. My brain
will be like, they're cheating on you, They're doing crazy,
bad stuff. So it's good for me to have a
(17:01):
job that lets me channel that for.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Healthy things, which is great out there too.

eighty two, and of course Suddy Kayden Gordon showing our
friends at B and B Construction Services out there with
the Morel Law firm and also are friends at Casey
Beckan Chandler Marie Music. You know you have a little
(22:47):
bit of assass in this back here with Peyton Porter
on the backstage past. Love this one too because the
title of it was so cool, like it's just that
Queen of Appalachia had had a great feel, but then
a storytelling aspect there you may mentioned about getting you know,
to make some things up and the song run across
this which we talked about.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
This had a great title and manage told a good story,
didn't it.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, well, I mean I think so.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I enjoy singing it every time I learned something new
about the Queen of Appalacha every time I played that song.
So yeah, it's fun that one is. It's high energy.
That was one thing that this new record and new
season of my music, I've really learned a lot about
playing shows. Like when I put out in my head
the project, I had never really played shows before, so
(23:31):
I didn't know how to put out a record based
off of how I wanted to build my live show.
And so I've learned a lot about how much I
like to dance around and just sing at the top
of my lungs, and so Queen fits.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
The bill for that.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
We have been closing with it and I get to
really lean into it, and yeah, it's fun. Queen of
Appalacha was actually the concept was.
Speaker 17 (23:56):
Me.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I love to be in the mountains, I love to
try kind of like I'm There are bits and pieces
of me all throughout her character. It's kind of like
the most heightened version of my alter ego would be
the Queen of Appalachia. And she's just way cooler than
I'll ever commit to being. But so I wanted to
(24:18):
create a character that I would get to step into
on stage that felt true to me, but also felt
like this really interesting, bold and brave and confident and
care free person. And so we created the Queen of APPALACHA.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Beautiful song too.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
I go back, I think when you and I first met,
I keep saying that to we've probably met a couple
of years before that, but I mean again, with lifelong friends,
I love that grown ep and I go back to
a lot of great songs on their tube, and obviously
God's Hotel one of my favorites off of there too. Also,
speaking of Georgia, I'm correct on the titles on that
record too. At the same time, love this and one
of your first EPs you got to put out I
(24:58):
think you really did it justice to At the same time.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Thank you, thank you, Yeah, I love I loved the
groany Pee And we did a live version of that
project as well. That was really cool to get to
reimagine some of the recorded versions, and I mean it
was it was also a reaction to how much happened
with the In My Head project, because In my Head
was like everything was happening to me, and then Grown
(25:21):
was me trying to like take back control.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
So I swung really far the other direction.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
It went from like pink puffy dresses to like dead
trees on the cover art. It was just from top
to bottom it was like no synthetic sounds and all
session players and everything was live. And on the other one,
it wasn't like that.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
On In my Head.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
It was more like we sat in there and kind
of nitpicked sounds and we had pop influences. So Grown
was definitely a coming of age project for me, I moved,
like the title track talks about, I moved myself into
an apartment by myself and lasted for a month and
a half before I had to relocate because it was
not safe. And I just learned a lot about myself
(26:05):
through that and I kind of made peace with where
I had come from, which is why I have Speaking
of Georgia on there, and Run the Radio is about
me finding my own voice, and it's that whole project
is so so special to me because it really got
me out of a tough time and was kind of
like with me in the shadows of me trying to
(26:27):
figure out where I wanted to go next and who
I was based off of what I had learned from
the first project.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
So I love that you love those songs.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Well, and I I said, I find my time having
a lot of time on my hands to be able
to make a lot of playlists out there some things
that we do before we get to Nashville for those
major events. So when I get a chance to put
it all together, it's I love it because it's time
consuming and I put my favorites of the favorites on
an actual playlist, so I have time to listen to
a lot of music, and you're right there on the playlist,
and they come up, especially on the ride to work
(27:01):
and back and forth and home and a lot of vacation.
When you drive a camper, it's amazing how many put
miles on. It's amazing how many songs you get to
go through there too, And of course, you know, we
get a lot of pictures here on, so it's kind
of cool to listen to all different variety of music. Hey,
speaking of this, this division now, it's one of the
strongest I've seen since nineties Country love this because I
(27:22):
feel like it's a girl power movement at least I know.
Back in December twenty twenty, I'll never forget when Landy
Wilson came on this Very Show and talked about the
rioting and talked about the story of what it's like
in a ten year town or sometimes more. And I said,
on the Very Show, I said, I have a bold prediction.
I said, you're going to blow up in the next
year or two. And then boom it happened. And she
was so kind of moderate when she said when I
(27:43):
when I said that to her, you know a little
bit and of course, you know, just grinding, working hard,
but talk about you know, what you learn from this movement,
what you see. But all these ladies kind of kicking ass,
they're in the songs, they're putting out great music. Ella
Langley comes to mind, hearing so many more. But what
that movement kind of does for you and how it
drive as a female country arts.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I'm so happy to see women winning.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
It's also like, as much as we're winning, we're still losing.
There's three of us in the top fifty, and that's
frustrating because, as we know, women are making incredible music
right now and they deserve more spots, they deserve more
chances to be heard. And I don't think it has
anything to do with the quality of art that the
(28:26):
girls are making versus the guys. I think it's just
systems that need to be figured out and reworked through
because there's a lot of girls.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Working their ass off.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
And we were laughing at cmafest, We're like, how many
times have you heard a female or just get on
stage and be like, I broke my arm in college
football and so now I'm a famous country singer. It
never happens, because that's never the pipeline women are like,
I didn't go to college. I've been playing the bars
the whole time you were playing football, and now you're
(28:58):
playing bigger rooms than I am. And it has nothing
to do with quality of work or anything against the guys.
It's just kind of something that is up in the
air and we've got to figure it out. Because girls
are working really, really hard and making the best music
that I've heard come out of this town in a
long time, and so it's exciting. It's also like there's
(29:19):
something to prove right now of give us more and
we will all win more. Rising tides float all boats.
And I think that Lanny kind of kicked the doors
down for us. I mean, there was like the Miranda
Carris and then there was a big gap and we
had Ashley McBride and some others in there. But then
Lanny came through and really ushered this next class through,
(29:42):
and we've got Ello, We've got Megan Maroney playing two
incredibly big crowds, and her fandom just keeps growing and
it's really she's kind of in a league of her own,
and so I'm honored to be in this next crew.
I really hope that there's you know, an audience and
opportunity for the women, because I feel like we deserve
(30:04):
it and we're going to be making great music whether
without it getting through, but it would be a really
big shame for people not to get to hear some
of the music. And there's there's a lot of girls
killing it, Maggie Antone, Caitlin Buttz, Emianne Roberts, Harper O'Neil,
like all these girls are friends, and we all kind
of sit around, We're like, what more.
Speaker 12 (30:23):
Can we do?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Like we're trying our best, We're staying in shade, we're
writing our butts off, we're playing shows, and so if
anybody has any answers, just listen to more of us,
please because we're trying all working.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Working your ass of no doubt about it too.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Hey, you had fun last January with a cool tune
that I love so much and we probably talked about
this here in See My Week when we're there at
the Music City Center, but a lot of cool things
with it, Lemonade. Let's kind of revisit that story and
for folks who have not heard that song, they go
stream it out there across all the DSPs. That was
a fun song. For you, and it really just had
a cool message. I mean, obviously again you're singing in
(31:02):
so it's a cool song. But again for the fans
out there, I love this one too.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Thank you.
Speaker 17 (31:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Lemonade is one of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I wrote that one during the pandemic on Zoom and
I was sitting at my mom's my mom and dad's
kitchen counter, and my mom loves to easdrop while I'm
writing songs, especially back then when I was writing every
day at her house and my dad's ups man. So
I thought it would be funny to see how hard
she was eavesdropping and put in a line about the
(31:31):
mailman getting checked out by a lady on his route,
and she was listening because I get a text message
it's like put that in that song, blah blah blah,
And I was like, no, I'm definitely going to put
it in the song. And I'm also going to have
him play the mailman in the music video, just to
really put the nail in the coffin. So it was
(31:51):
so much fun. That song has just been awesome. It
kind of took a life of its own. The music
video has my cousins and friends from my home town.
We filmed it all in Dawsonville, family members, and so
it was really cool to kind of bring it back home.
And it's always fun to see people react to the
hook of that one.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
When you look back and now we're almost again halfway through.
We are halfway through this year, twenty twenty five, and
I know where time is going. Father time to wait
for anybody. But you look toward the back half of
this and now September coming up, and looking to this
next quarter. What are you most looking forward to on
the next releases? You mentioned the right today, we're looking
at more singles every few weeks or EPs.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
What are we looking at?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
We're looking at more singles coming out, building to a
bigger body of stuff. We got a lot coming a
lot in the pipeline. Of course, I love to road trip,
so I keep leaving town and so that slows down
the process of it. But I have to I have
to go out and see people. My dad calls it
(32:55):
being around normal people. He's like you, when you spend
too much time in Nashville year around music people and
you forget how to be a normal person.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
You need to go hang out with us, us normal people.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
So I like to get out of town and get
back in touch with what's going on outside of Nashville.
So some more songs coming out. I just have changed
my team up a bit, some exciting news about my
team changing and just trying to collaborate with friends, make
more friends, play more shows.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Can I be on the Peyton fort team?
Speaker 17 (33:29):
You are? You are?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
I'm always recruiting. I played the four times I played
it this.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
But I want to do it again. I want to
do it again four times. They were going to fit out.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
We're gonna go forty five times.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
They're never going to get rid of me. They that's
where they messed up. They let me in there once
and they're never gonna.
Speaker 18 (33:49):
Get rid of me.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Now, next time you do it, you got to text
me so I can just get there and have fun. Ye,
get in there and sit with tickets and then be
your guests and take some video and have some fun.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Because that is that.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
That was pretty cool like last year, running twenty five
shows on the Opery for those few months and getting
the show on WSM, and I have a great feedback
we got putting out a big press release with my
publicist and the entire team. It was pretty pretty awesome
and I love it. And again you never forget those
moments because you mentioned four times good forty five times
and they can't get rid of you.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
They cannot.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
No, I love it.
Speaker 14 (34:19):
There.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
My little niece, she came from my debut and that
was last May, and so she came back for the
first time since then, and she walks around the opera
like she owns that place.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
She's she's so spoiled rotten.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
She came when I opened for Tim McGraw and they
would clap for Tim McGraw and she would look around
like they were applauding her. She's like one and a
half at the time. And so this weekend when she
was here, they handed me the mic to walk on
and she tried to grab it out of my hands
and I was like, you have to earn your microphone mine.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
So it's been fun.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
It's it's always awesome to play the opera because you
just remember you're part of something so much bigger and
everyone there so awesome as you know.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Oh, and it's just it's the best.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
Mecca of country music, no doubt about it too as
well Eric Markham and the great guys over there too,
the Coffee Country Cody Program, Bill Cody. They did a
great job over there too, all the great shows that
I love so much out there. All right, I'll tell
you what my favorite meal during CEA May Week and
we'll close with this was three one two pizza over
in Germantown. I've never I like thin crust and I
like pizza, but this was more of the Chicago deep
dish because the family was from there. Old it over
(35:25):
by the Sounds Ballpark and we took in a game
out there, had a great time. What did you kind
of I mean, you lived there, obviously, now you could
try some new things and new restaurants opening up. But
what was that favorite meal for you during c Mayweek?
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Where'd you go eat?
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Ooh? Where did I eat during CMA Week?
Speaker 17 (35:40):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:41):
I think I went to Superca, this Mexican restaurant, and
they have such good food and such powerful margarita's And
I love when I pay for margarita and I get
a punt and it's delicious, it tastes fresh. It's always
a good vibe in there. And I think I went
(36:02):
with some of my friends during that week, So that
was my favorite thing. I love Mexican and Margarita's. That's
that's always good.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
So next year we're going to eat there right after
our interviews, okay after seeing any week, if they let
me to the door again, I'll be there and Peyton
will be on the show.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
We get to go to Super Riken and have fun
with some Mexican food out there, which is always a
great time too.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Just living the dream here in Nashville.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I'm writing a song that Saint I want to ask
you about that and right, get it, get out of it, right,
jump on an interview, so I always got to ask
that question, how did the writer's round go?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Because something created from nothing comes out of it?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Right, Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
We actually finished up a song that we started in
June or July and tried to start another one.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Kept bumping our.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Head against the wall, and we're like, should we just
go back and finish that one that we know we
like already and that isn't done, and so we got it.
We got it wrapped up literally like four minutes before
I hopped on here.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So it's perfect timing.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
I know you're telling us that we get this thing
going this afternoon if she's in right now too, And
like I said, always love that magic coming out of
those great writers' rounds. Well, I'm not gonna waste the
time he because I want to play this one too,
because I love it. The single just came out for
you guys, Blue Calls. Tell us all about.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It, Blue Calls.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
It's explicit, Yes, I honestly, it's like the girl version
of frustration.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And I was trying to.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Get this guy to come over and he wouldn't answer
the phone, and I did not handle that. Well, I
don't really handle rejection very well. And so I did
what I usually do, which is go into my notes
app and say everything that I want to save you
a text message and I save my pride from sending
(03:13):
something embarrassing and just make a song out of it.
So I went and rambled like most of this chorus
in my notes app instead of texting him some crazy stuff.
And then the next day went into my right and
was like, boy, do I have something to say today?
So I wrote this is one other person, and I'm
(03:34):
really pumped about it is. It's pretty pop for what
I do, but it's lyric and it is honest, so
it's fun.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I love the title of it. Explicit too out there
too as well. We're going to play here on the
backstage pass right now. I'm not gonna wait around Peyton Porter.

things out there too, and told it like it was
(09:07):
assassin attitude.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I mean, you've got that now, you're right it It
had a pop feel too, it.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Didn't it yep, yep, it's h It's definitely me letting
my intrusive thoughts win for a full like three minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
It sure is.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Hey, let's go back and revisit the record twenty twenty two.
I think that's when you and I first met through
a number of great people out there in my head,
you know, as you go through and you get a
song like Therapy which was on there too, which I
loved so much, and you kind of recollect back on
this album what do you remember best and kind of
hit on some of the highlights like when it came
out as far as the body of work and the
(09:43):
selection of songs. And I really like, I dug this album.
I felt a lot of songs on it, talk about
that fort okay.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I love that project and I'm so proud.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Of in my Head and all of the songs on it.
And it was, honestly, so so much was changed, So
much was happening so fast, because that was like right
when it was like every video I was posting on
TikTok was getting so many eyes and ears and interactions,
and I kind of had started using TikTok so that
(10:14):
I would backlog things so that when I started putting
out music, I would have something for fans to go
back to. But then it kind of got ahead of me,
and so when I look back on that time, I
think about just how fun and exciting everything was, and
how pink everything got. I did not ever really plan
on everything being pink themed. It just kind of a
(10:37):
lot of it was so fast and so exciting that
I was reacting to a lot. And I think about
just young me going through it, and I'm like, man,
just keep your head on you just get through, and
like enjoy the winds and enjoy the excitement. And I
love a lot of those songs. And now I've started
(10:58):
expanding my social circle and some of my new friends.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Will be like, my favorite song is Champagne Problems. Why
don't you play that one live? And I'm like, I
didn't know anyone.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Still liked that song.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I'll throw it back in the set. So it's been
cool to kind.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Of get to see these songs resurfacing and get a
second life through meeting new people.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I was going to ask you about that one too,
because that was one of the ones that a lot
of people dug out there a lot of feedback I
got to it from our syndicated stations out there. Champagne Problems,
the writing behind it, the lyrics, the story us tell
us all about how it came about.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, that one.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I actually wrote that one with a guy named Kenny Foss,
and that's who I was just writing with today and
it was one of the first songs we wrote together,
and it was just me being honest.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I was like, Man, all these people are.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Talking about how this is hard and this is hard,
but I think I could really use some Champagne Problems.
I think I could spend money a little bit wiser
and I could spread it. And the reason it made
the record was because there was this contest going on
to win free rent in Nashville, and my publisher found
it and was like, you should enter to win this contest.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You need somewhere to live, and like free rent would
be awesome for you.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
And so I posted Champagne Problems on TikTok and was like,
I'm trying to get a free place to stay. This
is a song I wrote about how I could use
some more money than I have, and it went big.
A bunch of people saw it and liked it, and
so when we got that big response on the demo,
I was like, well, this one has to be on
the project. So many people love it, so that one's
(12:33):
so much fun and it's actually back in the set.
It's a lot of fun to play.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
I love it too, got a great ring to it,
and then I love who talked about it mentioned the
title there we all need a little bit of therapy
these days to step back and really reflect on life
in general, and I think you did this one justice.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Tell us all about it.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Therapy was the first song that I wrote that felt
like it was mine as an artist.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I wrote it back in twenty nineteen, I think, and
I wrote it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
With some of my best friends at the time, and
I just remember I was going through this horrible breakup
and the only way I could get through it was
parking in all the places that reminded me of him
until it didn't hurt to be there anymore. Because he
had come to visit me in Nashville and like kind
of ruined all these favorite spots because he would just
pull some crazy stuff and I'd be upset, and so
(13:23):
I would just go park and cry until it didn't
hurt anymore.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
And I was like, this is my therapy.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I'm like reclaiming my favorite places from him, and so
I told them that and I was like, I can't
afford to see a professional, so this is my free
version of it. And we wrote therapy that day, and
then I tried to hide it. I was like, I
don't want anyone to hear this song until I have
a team around me to like do it right, and
to some degree I did. I just kind of put
(13:49):
it in my pocket and kept it underground, and it
was my first single, and I knew it was how
I wanted to introduce myself to the world. And I
think based on the streaming numbers alone, it still is
my biggest hit so far, and so I'm happy that
I got to keep it and it became part of
my story as an artist because it was a huge
(14:09):
part of my story as a person and a songwriter.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Well, you're a great songwriter. Let me just go and
get that out of the way.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
You didn't pay us for that for me to say that,
But I know what she is because I've got to
know her very well off the year too, at the
same time, as we try to get to know a
lot of our guests here on the personal side, just
more of the interviews I've seen you and at work,
and I love it because you and I can talk
music to the cows come home too. But looking back,
as you go through your process, what is your favorite
part of the whole songwriting process as you kind of.
Speaker 19 (14:37):
Dealt through it changes by day by day, it changes
room by room, but generally I think it's it's amazing
that I get to make up stuff for a living
and I literally get to part of my job is
just experiencing life and then capturing it and then sharing
(14:58):
it like that is the dream job for me.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And in some seasons I've been better at capturing things
than others. At some seasons, I've been really good at
writing but not really living. And so I feel like
I'm in this in between spot where I'm finding the
importance of the balance of both.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Because you can come in and.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Be like, oh, I saw the color blue today, Let's
write a song called blue. And that's a different thing
than being like, my heart's broken and I need to
talk about it. And so I love that it's my job,
Like I think that's it's just the biggest gift ever
to get to write songs.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
And I also love in the process.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It's almost like puzzles, like except for you, there's no
certain way to make a right one. You're choosing what
the shape of the puzzle is. You're choosing what colors
are going where at the same time, and so it
feels like a brain game.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Every day.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
You're just kind of digging and you can be like, well,
I think it should go this way, but then you
just have these like creative instincts that are like, it's
not the way the song's wanting to go. I have
to follow where it's.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Wanting to take us.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
So it feels very much so like tapping into something
bigger than us, and that's a really cool space to
get to live in. Day to day. It's just like
tapping into whatever it's trying to filter itself into the
planet through songwriters.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
And some days it's there, some days it's not, and
you just keep.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Showing up and hoping that eventually something's going to fall
out of the sky, and some days it does.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I love that to you said that, because favorite thing
to do never nobody's ever said that you're on the
show too get to get paid and also too hope
it resonates with somebody. I love doing it because I
just get to make things up, so that's.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I'll be making them up either way. Like in my
head is all about me making stuff up. If I've
got too creative of a mind to be left alone
for too long, because I will if I don't know
where someone's at, I'll decide where they're at. My brain
will be like, they're cheating on you, They're doing crazy,
bad stuff. So it's good for me to have a
(17:01):
job that lets me channel that for.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Healthy things, which is great out there too.

friends at B and B Construction Services out there with
the Morel Law firm and also are friends at Casey
Beckan Chandler Marie Music. You know you have a little
(22:47):
bit of assass in this back here with Peyton Porter
on the backstage past. Love this one too because the
title of it was so cool, like it's just that
Queen of Appalachia had had a great feel, but then
a storytelling aspect there you may mentioned about getting you know,
to make some things up and the song run across
this which we talked about.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
This had a great title and manage told a good story,
didn't it.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, well, I mean I think so.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I enjoy singing it every time I learned something new
about the Queen of Appalacha every time I played that song.
So yeah, it's fun that one is. It's high energy.
That was one thing that this new record and new
season of my music, I've really learned a lot about
playing shows. Like when I put out in my head
the project, I had never really played shows before, so
(23:31):
I didn't know how to put out a record based
off of how I wanted to build my live show.
And so I've learned a lot about how much I
like to dance around and just sing at the top
of my lungs, and so Queen fits.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
The bill for that.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
We have been closing with it and I get to
really lean into it, and yeah, it's fun. Queen of
Appalacha was actually the concept was.
Speaker 17 (23:56):
Me.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I love to be in the mountains, I love to
try kind of like I'm There are bits and pieces
of me all throughout her character. It's kind of like
the most heightened version of my alter ego would be
the Queen of Appalachia. And she's just way cooler than
I'll ever commit to being. But so I wanted to
(24:18):
create a character that I would get to step into
on stage that felt true to me, but also felt
like this really interesting, bold and brave and confident and
care free person. And so we created the Queen of APPALACHA.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Beautiful song too.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
I go back, I think when you and I first met,
I keep saying that to we've probably met a couple
of years before that, but I mean again, with lifelong friends,
I love that grown ep and I go back to
a lot of great songs on their tube, and obviously
God's Hotel one of my favorites off of there too. Also,
speaking of Georgia, I'm correct on the titles on that
record too. At the same time, love this and one
of your first EPs you got to put out I
(24:58):
think you really did it justice to At the same time.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Thank you, thank you, Yeah, I love I loved the
groany Pee And we did a live version of that
project as well. That was really cool to get to
reimagine some of the recorded versions, and I mean it
was it was also a reaction to how much happened
with the In My Head project, because In my Head
was like everything was happening to me, and then Grown
(25:21):
was me trying to like take back control.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
So I swung really far the other direction.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
It went from like pink puffy dresses to like dead
trees on the cover art. It was just from top
to bottom it was like no synthetic sounds and all
session players and everything was live. And on the other one,
it wasn't like that.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
On In my Head.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
It was more like we sat in there and kind
of nitpicked sounds and we had pop influences. So Grown
was definitely a coming of age project for me, I moved,
like the title track talks about, I moved myself into
an apartment by myself and lasted for a month and
a half before I had to relocate because it was
not safe. And I just learned a lot about myself
(26:05):
through that and I kind of made peace with where
I had come from, which is why I have Speaking
of Georgia on there, and Run the Radio is about
me finding my own voice, and it's that whole project
is so so special to me because it really got
me out of a tough time and was kind of
like with me in the shadows of me trying to
(26:27):
figure out where I wanted to go next and who
I was based off of what I had learned from
the first project.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
So I love that you love those songs.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Well, and I I said, I find my time having
a lot of time on my hands to be able
to make a lot of playlists out there some things
that we do before we get to Nashville for those
major events. So when I get a chance to put
it all together, it's I love it because it's time
consuming and I put my favorites of the favorites on
an actual playlist, so I have time to listen to
a lot of music, and you're right there on the playlist,
and they come up, especially on the ride to work
(27:01):
and back and forth and home and a lot of vacation.
When you drive a camper, it's amazing how many put
miles on. It's amazing how many songs you get to
go through there too, And of course, you know, we
get a lot of pictures here on, so it's kind
of cool to listen to all different variety of music. Hey,
speaking of this, this division now, it's one of the
strongest I've seen since nineties Country love this because I
(27:22):
feel like it's a girl power movement at least I know.
Back in December twenty twenty, I'll never forget when Landy
Wilson came on this Very Show and talked about the
rioting and talked about the story of what it's like
in a ten year town or sometimes more. And I said,
on the Very Show, I said, I have a bold prediction.
I said, you're going to blow up in the next
year or two. And then boom it happened. And she
was so kind of moderate when she said when I
(27:43):
when I said that to her, you know a little
bit and of course, you know, just grinding, working hard,
but talk about you know, what you learn from this movement,
what you see. But all these ladies kind of kicking ass,
they're in the songs, they're putting out great music. Ella
Langley comes to mind, hearing so many more. But what
that movement kind of does for you and how it
drive as a female country arts.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I'm so happy to see women winning.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
It's also like, as much as we're winning, we're still losing.
There's three of us in the top fifty, and that's
frustrating because, as we know, women are making incredible music
right now and they deserve more spots, they deserve more
chances to be heard. And I don't think it has
anything to do with the quality of art that the
(28:26):
girls are making versus the guys. I think it's just
systems that need to be figured out and reworked through
because there's a lot of girls.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Working their ass off.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
And we were laughing at cmafest, We're like, how many
times have you heard a female or just get on
stage and be like, I broke my arm in college
football and so now I'm a famous country singer. It
never happens, because that's never the pipeline women are like,
I didn't go to college. I've been playing the bars
the whole time you were playing football, and now you're
(28:58):
playing bigger rooms than I am. And it has nothing
to do with quality of work or anything against the guys.
It's just kind of something that is up in the
air and we've got to figure it out. Because girls
are working really, really hard and making the best music
that I've heard come out of this town in a
long time, and so it's exciting. It's also like there's
(29:19):
something to prove right now of give us more and
we will all win more. Rising tides float all boats.
And I think that Lanny kind of kicked the doors
down for us. I mean, there was like the Miranda
Carris and then there was a big gap and we
had Ashley McBride and some others in there. But then
Lanny came through and really ushered this next class through,
(29:42):
and we've got Ello, We've got Megan Maroney playing two
incredibly big crowds, and her fandom just keeps growing and
it's really she's kind of in a league of her own,
and so I'm honored to be in this next crew.
I really hope that there's you know, an audience and
opportunity for the women, because I feel like we deserve
(30:04):
it and we're going to be making great music whether
without it getting through, but it would be a really
big shame for people not to get to hear some
of the music. And there's there's a lot of girls
killing it, Maggie Antone, Caitlin Buttz, Emianne Roberts, Harper O'Neil,
like all these girls are friends, and we all kind
of sit around, We're like, what more.
Speaker 12 (30:23):
Can we do?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Like we're trying our best, We're staying in shade, we're
writing our butts off, we're playing shows, and so if
anybody has any answers, just listen to more of us,
please because we're trying all working.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Working your ass of no doubt about it too.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Hey, you had fun last January with a cool tune
that I love so much and we probably talked about
this here in See My Week when we're there at
the Music City Center, but a lot of cool things
with it, Lemonade. Let's kind of revisit that story and
for folks who have not heard that song, they go
stream it out there across all the DSPs. That was
a fun song. For you, and it really just had
a cool message. I mean, obviously again you're singing in
(31:02):
so it's a cool song. But again for the fans
out there, I love this one too.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Thank you.
Speaker 17 (31:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Lemonade is one of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I wrote that one during the pandemic on Zoom and
I was sitting at my mom's my mom and dad's
kitchen counter, and my mom loves to easdrop while I'm
writing songs, especially back then when I was writing every
day at her house and my dad's ups man. So
I thought it would be funny to see how hard
she was eavesdropping and put in a line about the
(31:31):
mailman getting checked out by a lady on his route,
and she was listening because I get a text message
it's like put that in that song, blah blah blah,
And I was like, no, I'm definitely going to put
it in the song. And I'm also going to have
him play the mailman in the music video, just to
really put the nail in the coffin. So it was
(31:51):
so much fun. That song has just been awesome. It
kind of took a life of its own. The music
video has my cousins and friends from my home town.
We filmed it all in Dawsonville, family members, and so
it was really cool to kind of bring it back home.
And it's always fun to see people react to the
hook of that one.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
When you look back and now we're almost again halfway through.
We are halfway through this year, twenty twenty five, and
I know where time is going. Father time to wait
for anybody. But you look toward the back half of
this and now September coming up, and looking to this
next quarter. What are you most looking forward to on
the next releases? You mentioned the right today, we're looking
at more singles every few weeks or EPs.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
What are we looking at?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
We're looking at more singles coming out, building to a
bigger body of stuff. We got a lot coming a
lot in the pipeline. Of course, I love to road trip,
so I keep leaving town and so that slows down
the process of it. But I have to I have
to go out and see people. My dad calls it
(32:55):
being around normal people. He's like you, when you spend
too much time in Nashville year around music people and
you forget how to be a normal person.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
You need to go hang out with us, us normal people.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
So I like to get out of town and get
back in touch with what's going on outside of Nashville.
So some more songs coming out. I just have changed
my team up a bit, some exciting news about my
team changing and just trying to collaborate with friends, make
more friends, play more shows.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Can I be on the Peyton fort team?
Speaker 17 (33:29):
You are? You are?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
I'm always recruiting. I played the four times I played
it this.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
But I want to do it again. I want to
do it again four times. They were going to fit out.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
We're gonna go forty five times.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
They're never going to get rid of me. They that's
where they messed up. They let me in there once
and they're never gonna.
Speaker 18 (33:49):
Get rid of me.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Now, next time you do it, you got to text
me so I can just get there and have fun. Ye,
get in there and sit with tickets and then be
your guests and take some video and have some fun.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Because that is that.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
That was pretty cool like last year, running twenty five
shows on the Opery for those few months and getting
the show on WSM, and I have a great feedback
we got putting out a big press release with my
publicist and the entire team. It was pretty pretty awesome
and I love it. And again you never forget those
moments because you mentioned four times good forty five times
and they can't get rid of you.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
They cannot.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
No, I love it.
Speaker 14 (34:19):
There.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
My little niece, she came from my debut and that
was last May, and so she came back for the
first time since then, and she walks around the opera
like she owns that place.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
She's she's so spoiled rotten.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
She came when I opened for Tim McGraw and they
would clap for Tim McGraw and she would look around
like they were applauding her. She's like one and a
half at the time. And so this weekend when she
