Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, this is country artist Rebecca Korea and you're listening
to the Backstage Pass with Brandon exclusively on KKTC True
Country ninety nine point nine in Taos, New Mexico.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Ed Welcome inside the Backstage Pass. A busy week and
just a couple of more weeks until Christmas time out
there for everybody. Did some shopping this weekend, some pictures
with Santa. All the fun stuff out there and the
holiday festivities have begun here on the show get presented
by our friends over at the decadengordonshow dot com. Today's
best country mix out there KKTC True Country ninety nine
(00:35):
point nine out there in Towson, New Mexico. And of
course you guys listening for the holidays. We'll have a
bunch of shows that'll come up the week of the
twenty second, twenty third rut there before Christmas that we'll
be taking that two weeks off and then coming back
with you guys with a slew of shows coming up
in January, just shortly after the new year. She's got
a new EP out and we're pleased to have her
on the show today, Rebecca Korea. The EP is called
(00:57):
Flying Rebecca. How you doing.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I'm doing great. How are you, Brandon?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It's good, you know, I mean that Christmas time at
break everybody so needs a pause in any action, any
line of work, especially you guys being musicians and myself
being a radio show host. So looking forward to like
the two weeks of just like nothing in downtime. Any
special plans for you for these I guess these holidays
coming up, There's a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Of rest and recuperation. It's been a big year, you know.
Kicked it off by doing a kickstarter to raise funds
to make this record, and we recorded in April and.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It came out this fall, so it's been NonStop.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
So I'm pretty pretty looking forward to, like just taking
some time for myself.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I'm with you on that, speaking of that too, because
self care is so important these days. No matter what,
like I said, occupation, someone is doing. What do you
do for self care as a musician? I know for
me it's working out what's kind of your escape?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Well, this morning I did a nice little run.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I've been running for gosh, probably twenty years now, done
a few races. I'm slow, but it's it's about sort
of the scenery and just you know, being one with
nature and my breathing when I'm doing that. And I
also love meditation, so I put these meditation videos on,
and just listening to calming things really help. I'm such
(02:20):
a type personality where I got to go, go, go,
and I forget that there's a whole other side of
that coin that needs to be replenished by resting and recouping.
So I'm getting better at that in my later years here.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
We got to do that, no doubt as far as
rest of recoup goes, because I'm with you, same time
with the radio show host, Go Go Go. But then
sometimes those five allim workouts come and I got to
go to the gym and I'm like, you know what,
just got to get it in mentally, physically, and just
feel good overall. Hey, let's learn a little bit about
your background for the listeners out there, especially in taoson
up unto Colorado that may not know Rebecca Carea. The artists.
(02:57):
Tell us a little bit about the connection to music
from a young age and really just any genre, but
specifically You've got really a good knack for the genre.
You're in Country music.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, I love music, you know, of any genre. I
went to school and did a lot of classical music
there and jazz, and I grew up listening to lots
and lots of pop. Country now is sort of infused
with that, and that's what started me out in music,
just listening to songwriters, singer songwriters, you know, telling their stories,
(03:28):
and that led me down here to Nashville years and
years ago, on almost seven past seventeen years ago, I
came down here and just met a bunch of great artists.
And the more that I've been here, you know, over
the years, it's just become this town of you know,
there's rock here, there's hill you know, there's rockabilly, there's
(03:49):
jazz here, there's the symphony. You know, there's all kinds
of music here in Americana. So it's sort of becoming
more and more like the place to be to to
make and write music and create it.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You every time I go there, it's like always really cool,
because I would love about Nashville too, and especially most
cities out there, but it's specifically, you know, music city
is you can walk into any venue out there too,
and you can see probably your next favorite artist and
you know, opening for somebody or somebody out there doing
a writers around things like that, especially when you go
to Old Town or if you go right there on
Broadway too. That's the beauty of just seeing musicians kind
(04:26):
of at work and somebody playing around the clock to
get their name out, talk about just how you know,
beautiful that city is, and really a way to get
gigs out that may not be high profile gigs, but
just a chance to play and a chance to get
someone's name out.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I really love Whiskey Jam. That's a great event that
happens once a week here in town, and I've done
that a few times. Of course, when I first came
to town, you know, Whiskey Jam wasn't even a thing.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I would, you know, do the open.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Mic at the Bluebird if I could get myself on
the list, I would, you know, basically take part in
any writer's rounds that I could. The listening room is
incredible for sound and for for you know, hearing new
up and coming artists, but also you never know who's
going to show up on the given day. And then
for inspiration, you know, just being able to go to
(05:21):
see shows at the Rhyman in Third Linsley super inspiring.
So those are been some of my favorite places I
play pretty often at a place called Fox and Locke,
which is out in Leaper's Fork, which is in Franklin,
and that's one of my favorite venues of all time.
It's just very intimate. The sound is incredible, the audience
(05:43):
is always pin drop and engaged with your your show,
and the staff is incredible. They are super supportive of
the artists that play uh their venue. So it's one
of my favorites for sure.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Let's talk about this flying EP. I want to dive
into it with all five songs. Two of them are
going to play today too, here on the backstage pass.
Just a great body of work November fifteenth and landed
into the fans' hands out there too, new selection of songs.
You guys mentioned about, you know, raising the funds to
put that out there, because no, being a musician is
not cheap, but never is a matter of if it's
(06:19):
singles or ep EPs or full length albums. Talk about
just and hit on some highlights for me about this
one and what I thought were five great songs. That's
why I had to have you here on the show.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I I was itching to create more. I had started
recording a few songs with a friend of mine named
Casey Wassner. He's a singer songwriter also, you know, an instrumentalists.
So he plays drums on tour with keV Moo and
so I knew him do that, and we started kind
(06:50):
of just messing around.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Doing things in the studio and we said, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Let's let's let's take on a bigger goal with this,
a bigger project. So in order to do that as
an independent artists, I launched a Kickstarter back in February
and within three and a half weeks we raised about
twenty three thousand dollars to get this record off the
ground and make sure that we got the necessary funds
(07:17):
to record it and have the artwork and videos and
things to promote it. So yeah, it was very successful,
the biggest Kickstarter.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I've done thus far.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And we went into the studio April first for two weeks,
banged it out and you know, finished with a couple
extra overdubs at the end of April, and by May
we were mixing and mastering the record. And you know,
it was fun because the musicians kept reaching out to
me saying, you know, like when's it coming out, when's
(07:49):
it coming all summer long, and I'm like, I'm working
on you know, there's so many details that go along with,
you know, releasing a record. It's not just simply you know,
making the music recording it. There has to be a
whole plan that that goes along with that. So I've
been working hard on that plan all summer long, and
then we launched the first single in September, and so
(08:11):
the rest has been history and NonStop.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I can only imagine, dude, Like I said, we get
to play one off of there right here on the
show The Beauty of It Here the backstage Pass. Speak
to a girl featuring Shy Carter. Here it is from
Rebecca Korea. Here on the backstage Past, powered by the

Hey, this is Nashville recording artist Michelle Wright, and you're
listening to the Backstage Pass on KKTC True Country ninety
nine point nine.

them the last couple of weeks. The Little Riverband and
of course for King and Country and Ricky Skaggs have

If that's what twenty twenty four ends with, the let
twenty twenty five will be here for a bank too,
(13:27):
as well as we get ready for year number six
coming up there in twenty twenty five. So we got
to talk about this to Rebecca speak to a Girl,
Shy Carter, another fantastic musician. How did this arrangement come together,
and I loved it. This is the one that sold
me when I got the information on just You as
an artist and this record, and I think it really
sums it up.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I adore this song. This is the only song on
the record that I didn't write. It was originally recorded
by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill back in twenty seventeen.
They put it out and when I heard it on
the radio, I just absolutely in love with it. I
just every word was like, Yes, this is the message
I need to hear. And just the Door was my
(14:08):
favorite song, my favorite release of that year. And fast
forwarding to about twenty nineteen, I was in New York
City at the Cutting Room playing a show with a
few other artists and after I, you know, got off
the stage, I you know, a few people came up
to introduce themselves, one of which was Shy Carter, and
he was very humble at the time, you know. He
(14:29):
complimented me and talked for quite some time, and before
he even mentioned that he was a hit songwriter and
that he had some special songs under his belt, including
speak to a Girl as one of the songs. That
that was the first one he mentioned and I my
jaw dropped because of all songs on earth that he
was part of, that one that that really meant a
lot to me. So we became fast friends, and we
(14:52):
started occasionally performing the song from time to time, and.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
We kept, you know, hinting, you know, one day we're
going to record this.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
One day we're going to record our version of this,
and it finally happened. So it was a dream come
true for me in every aspect. And Shy is an
incredible writer, but an incredible artist as well, and an
amazing human being. So it was so special to record
this with him because this song means a lot to
both of us. So I'm glad that it's out there
(15:22):
for the world to enjoy.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Now love the song, no doubt, Another Life kind of
began this EP did begin, it, I should say, And
we'll talk about the artwork here just seconds. I'm always
fascinated by the artwork that comes out, especially when Epece
come out. But this song really set the tone for
this record. I really enjoyed what you guys did in
the arrangement with this one for Another Life.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Thanks that one had been I wrote that a few
years ago and it was it was sort of sitting
there waiting to be captured, and Casey had this vision
of kind of bringing some nineties rock vibe to the
table with this one. And my friend jt Hodges sang
background on this one. Every single song on the record
(16:01):
features a different artist friend of mine singing, so that
was really special to collab with him because he's an
incredible artist as well. And songs about, you know, just
sort of a hit and miss of life that you know,
sometimes you connect with somebody that maybe it's just the
wrong place, wrong time, you know, but you know, it
helps you remind it helps remind yourself that it is
(16:22):
possible that you know that you you know, you can
connect with people from time to time. And so that's
what essentially for me personally, with Another Life is about.
Speaker 9 (16:33):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I love the fact that, like I said, it's through storytelling,
you really deliver that through your music on this particular record.
You mentioned songwriting too. I'm always fascinated by what an
artist might say about that. Give me your favorite process
of just songwriting in general, and I love the fact
that it's just artistry and it's almost like a magic
type thing where you can just take all these tricks
out of your bag, and whether it be I guess,
(16:55):
a personal experience or if it's something that you know
somebody has, you know, fantasy about or whatever and putting
words and rhyme together. What's your favorite part about just
the process of songwriting.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I get so hyped up when I feel like I'm
onto something. Sometimes it happens that I'm writing the music first.
Sometimes I'll you know, have the lyrics first, but it
generally is sort of a simultaneous thing. And once I
feel like I'm onto something, it's kind of like, you know,
I have to solve finish the mystery and get to
the end.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
And just that height that I feel of, you know, getting.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
It three quarters done or whatever, I'm like, I'm almost there.
It's just it's it's really cool and it's fun to
I usually write alone or with just like one other person,
but when I feel really comfortable with somebody, I'll bring
them into the room to write. I've written with Kep
Mo and Beth Nilson Chapman many others along the way,
(17:52):
but I have to feel like really connected to them
because I feel like this is such a personal thing.
And when you get so excited, I'm like they've got
to be to handle this, you know, my my excitement
when I'm when I'm in, when I'm in the.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Zone, and I'm driven to get it done. So that's
the best part.
Speaker 9 (18:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I love to mention this, being a pretty much a
father now of a of a daughter now too, a
girl's dad. So I give a chance to interview more
females on this program compared to male country artists. It
just it happens that way. It's just something I enjoy doing,
and of course a lot of stuff gets said to me,
and it's awesome to have you guys on My point
is getting there, you know, looking at it. So many
(18:32):
ladies now I think are finally getting the respect they deserve,
you know, in this industry, and I think it's been
long overdue. I'm not trying to, you know, make anybody
upset when I say this, but Lady Wilson and just
the list go on and on for the class now
of twenty twenty two, three, four or five in the future.
Talk about just the motivation and some things that it
(18:52):
does for you kind of as a young artist. When
you see women of country girl power like takeover and
now they're stepping into the spotlight, not just for the
major arts shows, but for themselves as an artist and
for the songs they're choosing.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Yeah, I think we're evolving so much.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
And you know it it was a different world for
my mother, as it was for my grandmother, and you
know for my dad's my my grandmother on my dad's
side who you know, his great grandmother who came you know,
she was from the islands of these wars in Portugal.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
So it's a.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Totally different world, different culture, you know, different different society,
and we've come so far now and I think it
really represents America so well because it is we all
are about, you know, anyone can make it happen. And
seeing the surge in strong women coming up there, it
(19:45):
was always there, you know, Riba and uh Winona just
such inspiration all through it. But you know, we were
kind of the outliers. There weren't as many of us
as there were men. And it's it's it's not necessarily
the line of work that I think a lot of
women necessarily generally go towards, so but there, but we're here,
(20:08):
we exist, And I started this whole project with a
friend of mine, Lily May.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
She did she was sang on.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
The record and played a fiddle on the record and
also on another single of mine. And she's just one
of the first people I met when I came to Nashville.
Super inspiring, and you know, she's trudging through and has
been working in this industry for twenty some odd years
since she was little and has had some great milestones.
(20:35):
But we we're here and we exist and you know,
we're we're worthy as well, and so it's it's been
very inspiring to see the surge of that because, like
I said, generations before that wasn't necessarily the norm. You know,
you did it this way and that's the way it was,
you know, and now it just I think we're we
get to reach our greatest potential when we kind of
(20:57):
can allow everybody onto the field, you.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Know, that level playing field. And of course I can
said those ladies just pushing their cart out in front
and saying, you know what, if you want it, come
take it. And the bottom line is there, those songs
are fantastic, and You're right, the norm was there back
in the nineties, and I'm just glad to see it
really busting out even more today that they're staying out
in the lanes and going outside of the lanes and
a lot of collaborations becoming a huge part of this
(21:21):
industry too as well.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Well.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Time to set the scene form right here. You know,
I love snow globes, so we got to set the
scene here, Rebecca Korea here on the flying EP. It's
a song called snow Globe Seeing. Here it is on
the backstage pass powered by the Sports Guys podcast dot
com and of course out there exclusive kk t C

Speaker 11 (26:10):
Hey all, this is Keith for Thompson, the ACM Award
winning duo Thompson Square, and you're listening to the Backstage
Pass exclusively on KKTC True Country and ninety nine point

Speaker 9 (26:23):

Hey Becker, Rebecca Korea on the show. Here flying the
EP across all the digital streaming platform just came out
in November. Make sure you guys go download and stream
the music wherever it is. You also do podcast and
music at the same time. All right, snow globe scene.
I thought this really kind of set the festivities high,
specially being in the holiday season. But a lot of
people have seen movies when those things, you know, shaken,
(26:59):
kind of really enjoy that. Dude, what a cool way
man to put a festu songle this record.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, it's you know, it was sort of by accident
because it you know, it has the winter theme to it,
but it is based on a true story of my
very one of my very first roommates here in Nashville,
who it's it's a tragic loss. She lost her husband
and during that time after he had passed, we we
(27:30):
lived together for a few more years after that wasn't
supposed to go like that, but that's the way it happened,
and that song is about that experience of being frozen
in time sort of simultaneously celebrating that she married the
love of her life but also lost him, and so
it's it's a tragedy. So you know, it's I hesitated
(27:52):
in a way of releasing it this time because I I,
you know, it's supposed to be this happy, happy time,
but I know also the holidays can be a very
heavy time for some people and what they're experiencing. So
I've the response I've gotten so far has been incredible.
Just a ton of people that have reached out that
have you know, lost someone in their life, that have
(28:14):
you know, really said that it touched them and it
moved them. And so I'm glad that that you know
this story there can be some sort of you know,
thread that is tied into other for other people that
are are struggling and grieving for different reasons in their lives.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
It's a beautiful song and it touches people in a
lot more like you said, more ways than one when
it comes to the Christmas side of things or just
a winter side of things. But just a beautifully well
done uh tune out there too. Loved it, loved it,
loved it, no doubt about it. To get off the
flying ep from Rebecca Korea Art. Let's have a little
fun here too. You mentioned this before the show. I
try to squeeze in a little bit of sports talk
when I get a chance. Your favorite teams being from
(28:55):
up there in the northeast. New England got to start
with the Patriots, and I'm sure it just trickles down
Celtics and some others.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Right, yes, absolutely, New England Patriots all the way. Celtics.
I grew up going to see the games, you know,
like the days of Larry Bird. Not to date myself,
but you know, like those those days of the Celtics.
So it's hard to escape that. The Bruins, and then
of course the Red Sox for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
All I'm asking is just don't take my third basement
here from Houston. I'll say that they're in on him too.
I got named Alex Bregman, who's now Boston's actually a
favorite to get him. And of course one of the
former Alex Corra, the manager, was with the Astros down
here for a few years. So I'm hoping that they don't,
but hey, you never know. With baseball and free agency
right now, it's like the rich get richer, and hey,
(29:44):
like I said, if a player wants to go up
there and play, and you know who can blame him.
The Green Monster is just one of my favorite and
I've been to that ballpark. Rebecca so I love the
fact that ball can just shoot off that wall. Outfielders
have to play it a certain way and you can
actually really get thrown out trying to squeeze a single
into a double. But you know what, not many play.
And I'm sure you know growing up as a kid
out there too to watch a game in Fenway Park.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
And when we launched the beginning of this record release,
as I mentioned before, Lily May and I had a
single that we put out together and she happened. It
just happened that she jumped on board the tour with
post Malone and they launched the tour and they came
to Fenway. So I found myself a flight. I said,
(30:28):
I'm not missing this. I'm gonna go see you at Fenway.
I have to do this. So we took a really
cool video she and I inside Fenway before it was opened,
so there was no one in there, you know, and
it was just us in the Green Monster, which was wild,
so very special moment for me as an original New Englander.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I love that ballpark too, And like I said, the
only one I really was right there like a one
A one B. I mean, obviously for me, it was
like Wrigley Field in Chicago was the other one, and
then with the calm of the Cubs on the north side,
and then of course Dodger Stadium out there in Los
Angeles where you get a chance to see that old
field kind of stadium to it. And I was never
being an Astros fan down here. I really just despised
(31:08):
and really had hate and I mean that's a strong word,
but hate for the Yankees. So that rivalry always, as
you know, is never uh it's as great for the sport,
but you play each other. It's always have the root
for Boston over New York.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Yeah, there's something we have in common.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Then as a New Englander, you know, we're just we're
not allowed to like the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
It's just impossible.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
In no way. Uh Hey, being there in Nashville for
a while, never a stranger to restaurants and things like that,
when you get a chance to mosey on down and
have your your I guess, the comfort spot or at
least the food that really kind of makes you tick.
What are some of those hangout spots for you in
in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Oh, that's a really good question. It's Henrietta red Is
a really amazing place. Since I'm so picky about my
seafood coming from New England, they really do it really
well there. So that's that's one of my favorites. Let's see,
you know, a lot of the places I go to
(32:05):
sort of out and about, you know, further out of town.
But I would say Henrietta Read is like my favorite.
The Optimist is amazing as well.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Good places to choose from right there. Again, the EP
is flying across all those digitally streaming platforms out there. Hey,
tell me about the album cover as far as the
work they went into it, and I thought it was
lovely and it really just kind of just beautiful portrait
of you that I said the words coming across with
your name. Always fascinated by the work that goes into
the album cover.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, it's it's just as important as the music, you know.
I have throughout the years worked with a ton of
remarkable photographers and graphic designers. They're so key to making
sure that your art is represented well. This particular record
was done the graphic design and the photo was done
(32:54):
by Megan Aileen. She's here in Nashville and she and
I have been friends for about ten years. Now, I
would say, and she's just a one stop person. She
knows how to brand people. She knows exactly what looks
you're you know you need to get. Her photography is amazing,
but her graphic design is amazing.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
She can do websites. She's just a one stop for.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Everything and just puts a lot of thought and effort
and planning into the work.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
That she does.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
So she took that photo and then she designed and
chose the graphic, you know, the font and everything for it,
and she just always nails it every time that I've
worked with her.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
So she's a one stop. She's incredible.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I love that, the confidence to work with someone and
just carry it on through the record because you're very
much you are correct. The importance of that artwork is
just important as the songs that are put on the
record in itself too. At the same time, all right,
favorite toppings on a Rebecca Correa pizza and favorite flavor
of ice cream? Where we go with these?
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Okay, so favorite pizza is mushroom like lately, usually a
thin crust mushroom, sometimes green pepper, but simple, simple, And
then ice cream has definitely been chocolate chip.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
I love everybody saying that to You're the second or
third one this week for the artists that say we
have something in common. So that's what I love about it.
Mit chocolate chip, and I'm not so much I could try.
I didn't actually try. The other day we had some pizza.
I was like, you know, first time, so mushrooms pending
where you get it from. Not as high. But then again,
like I said, if I go to one of like
the parlors, I say, Pizza Parlors or whatever, like outdating
(34:33):
myself there too, restaurants for good pizza that made from scratch,
can can definitely do some mushrooms on that too. At
the same time, all right, give me some goals for
next year, obviously riding this record, but I know for
you guys, there's always that next project you're working forward to,
the next you know item out there too on the agenda,
and just those goals and things you're looking forward to.
Mostly for the first quarter of next year.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Well, January, I have some downtime at the beginnings. I'm
looking forward to that, and then we're going to to
do a party for the you know, the inside people
on the on the records that we're really looking forward
to celebrating because it was it went.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
It couldn't have gone any better, let's put it that way.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Very successful year, and I am starting to comprise some
more songs, write some more songs. I have a very
busy summer starting to put together, you know, to promote
the record and go out and tour, so that'll be
happening as well. And we've already been, you know, in
the talks about maybe doing another Kickstarter. It was so successful.
I don't know when, but maybe in twenty twenty five
(35:34):
there might be another one. And just keep this this
train to move in we'll see.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
I like it. Just keep that train moving right there.
Just the variety of the spice of life and the
music is just as good as the artist out there too.
At the same time, she's flying and flying high as
EP is a flying across all the digital streaming platforms
out there too, and you can give her a follow

Speaker 3 (00:58):
I'm doing great. How are you, Brandon?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It's good, you know, I mean that Christmas time at
break everybody so needs a pause in any action, any
line of work, especially you guys being musicians and myself
being a radio show host. So looking forward to like
the two weeks of just like nothing in downtime. Any
special plans for you for these I guess these holidays
coming up, There's a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Of rest and recuperation. It's been a big year, you know.
Kicked it off by doing a kickstarter to raise funds
to make this record, and we recorded in April and.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It came out this fall, so it's been NonStop.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
So I'm pretty pretty looking forward to, like just taking
some time for myself.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I'm with you on that, speaking of that too, because
self care is so important these days. No matter what,
like I said, occupation, someone is doing. What do you
do for self care as a musician? I know for
me it's working out what's kind of your escape?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Well, this morning I did a nice little run.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I've been running for gosh, probably twenty years now, done
a few races. I'm slow, but it's it's about sort
of the scenery and just you know, being one with
nature and my breathing when I'm doing that. And I
also love meditation, so I put these meditation videos on,
and just listening to calming things really help. I'm such
(02:20):
a type personality where I got to go, go, go,
and I forget that there's a whole other side of
that coin that needs to be replenished by resting and recouping.
So I'm getting better at that in my later years here.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
We got to do that, no doubt as far as
rest of recoup goes, because I'm with you, same time
with the radio show host, Go Go Go. But then
sometimes those five allim workouts come and I got to
go to the gym and I'm like, you know what,
just got to get it in mentally, physically, and just
feel good overall. Hey, let's learn a little bit about
your background for the listeners out there, especially in taoson
up unto Colorado that may not know Rebecca Carea. The artists.
(02:57):
Tell us a little bit about the connection to music
from a young age and really just any genre, but
specifically You've got really a good knack for the genre.
You're in Country music.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, I love music, you know, of any genre. I
went to school and did a lot of classical music
there and jazz, and I grew up listening to lots
and lots of pop. Country now is sort of infused
with that, and that's what started me out in music,
just listening to songwriters, singer songwriters, you know, telling their stories,
(03:28):
and that led me down here to Nashville years and
years ago, on almost seven past seventeen years ago, I
came down here and just met a bunch of great artists.
And the more that I've been here, you know, over
the years, it's just become this town of you know,
there's rock here, there's hill you know, there's rockabilly, there's
(03:49):
jazz here, there's the symphony. You know, there's all kinds
of music here in Americana. So it's sort of becoming
more and more like the place to be to to
make and write music and create it.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You every time I go there, it's like always really cool,
because I would love about Nashville too, and especially most
cities out there, but it's specifically, you know, music city
is you can walk into any venue out there too,
and you can see probably your next favorite artist and
you know, opening for somebody or somebody out there doing
a writers around things like that, especially when you go
to Old Town or if you go right there on
Broadway too. That's the beauty of just seeing musicians kind
(04:26):
of at work and somebody playing around the clock to
get their name out, talk about just how you know,
beautiful that city is, and really a way to get
gigs out that may not be high profile gigs, but
just a chance to play and a chance to get
someone's name out.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I really love Whiskey Jam. That's a great event that
happens once a week here in town, and I've done
that a few times. Of course, when I first came
to town, you know, Whiskey Jam wasn't even a thing.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I would, you know, do the open.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Mic at the Bluebird if I could get myself on
the list, I would, you know, basically take part in
any writer's rounds that I could. The listening room is
incredible for sound and for for you know, hearing new
up and coming artists, but also you never know who's
going to show up on the given day. And then
for inspiration, you know, just being able to go to
(05:21):
see shows at the Rhyman in Third Linsley super inspiring.
So those are been some of my favorite places I
play pretty often at a place called Fox and Locke,
which is out in Leaper's Fork, which is in Franklin,
and that's one of my favorite venues of all time.
It's just very intimate. The sound is incredible, the audience
(05:43):
is always pin drop and engaged with your your show,
and the staff is incredible. They are super supportive of
the artists that play uh their venue. So it's one
of my favorites for sure.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Let's talk about this flying EP. I want to dive
into it with all five songs. Two of them are
going to play today too, here on the backstage pass.
Just a great body of work November fifteenth and landed
into the fans' hands out there too, new selection of songs.
You guys mentioned about, you know, raising the funds to
put that out there, because no, being a musician is
not cheap, but never is a matter of if it's
(06:19):
singles or ep EPs or full length albums. Talk about
just and hit on some highlights for me about this
one and what I thought were five great songs. That's
why I had to have you here on the show.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I I was itching to create more. I had started
recording a few songs with a friend of mine named
Casey Wassner. He's a singer songwriter also, you know, an instrumentalists.
So he plays drums on tour with keV Moo and
so I knew him do that, and we started kind
(06:50):
of just messing around.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Doing things in the studio and we said, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Let's let's let's take on a bigger goal with this,
a bigger project. So in order to do that as
an independent artists, I launched a Kickstarter back in February
and within three and a half weeks we raised about
twenty three thousand dollars to get this record off the
ground and make sure that we got the necessary funds
(07:17):
to record it and have the artwork and videos and
things to promote it. So yeah, it was very successful,
the biggest Kickstarter.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I've done thus far.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And we went into the studio April first for two weeks,
banged it out and you know, finished with a couple
extra overdubs at the end of April, and by May
we were mixing and mastering the record. And you know,
it was fun because the musicians kept reaching out to
me saying, you know, like when's it coming out, when's
(07:49):
it coming all summer long, and I'm like, I'm working
on you know, there's so many details that go along with,
you know, releasing a record. It's not just simply you know,
making the music recording it. There has to be a
whole plan that that goes along with that. So I've
been working hard on that plan all summer long, and
then we launched the first single in September, and so
(08:11):
the rest has been history and NonStop.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I can only imagine, dude, Like I said, we get
to play one off of there right here on the
show The Beauty of It Here the backstage Pass. Speak
to a girl featuring Shy Carter. Here it is from

them the last couple of weeks. The Little Riverband and

If that's what twenty twenty four ends with, the let
twenty twenty five will be here for a bank too,
(13:27):
as well as we get ready for year number six
coming up there in twenty twenty five. So we got
to talk about this to Rebecca speak to a Girl,
Shy Carter, another fantastic musician. How did this arrangement come together,
and I loved it. This is the one that sold
me when I got the information on just You as
an artist and this record, and I think it really
sums it up.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I adore this song. This is the only song on
the record that I didn't write. It was originally recorded
by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill back in twenty seventeen.
They put it out and when I heard it on
the radio, I just absolutely in love with it. I
just every word was like, Yes, this is the message
I need to hear. And just the Door was my
(14:08):
favorite song, my favorite release of that year. And fast
forwarding to about twenty nineteen, I was in New York
City at the Cutting Room playing a show with a
few other artists and after I, you know, got off
the stage, I you know, a few people came up
to introduce themselves, one of which was Shy Carter, and
he was very humble at the time, you know. He
(14:29):
complimented me and talked for quite some time, and before
he even mentioned that he was a hit songwriter and
that he had some special songs under his belt, including
speak to a Girl as one of the songs. That
that was the first one he mentioned and I my
jaw dropped because of all songs on earth that he
was part of, that one that that really meant a
lot to me. So we became fast friends, and we
(14:52):
started occasionally performing the song from time to time, and.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
We kept, you know, hinting, you know, one day we're
going to record this.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
One day we're going to record our version of this,
and it finally happened. So it was a dream come
true for me in every aspect. And Shy is an
incredible writer, but an incredible artist as well, and an
amazing human being. So it was so special to record
this with him because this song means a lot to
both of us. So I'm glad that it's out there
(15:22):
for the world to enjoy.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Now love the song, no doubt, Another Life kind of
began this EP did begin, it, I should say, And
we'll talk about the artwork here just seconds. I'm always
fascinated by the artwork that comes out, especially when Epece
come out. But this song really set the tone for
this record. I really enjoyed what you guys did in
the arrangement with this one for Another Life.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Thanks that one had been I wrote that a few
years ago and it was it was sort of sitting
there waiting to be captured, and Casey had this vision
of kind of bringing some nineties rock vibe to the
table with this one. And my friend jt Hodges sang
background on this one. Every single song on the record
(16:01):
features a different artist friend of mine singing, so that
was really special to collab with him because he's an
incredible artist as well. And songs about, you know, just
sort of a hit and miss of life that you know,
sometimes you connect with somebody that maybe it's just the
wrong place, wrong time, you know, but you know, it
helps you remind it helps remind yourself that it is
(16:22):
possible that you know that you you know, you can
connect with people from time to time. And so that's
what essentially for me personally, with Another Life is about.
Speaker 9 (16:33):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I love the fact that, like I said, it's through storytelling,
you really deliver that through your music on this particular record.
You mentioned songwriting too. I'm always fascinated by what an
artist might say about that. Give me your favorite process
of just songwriting in general, and I love the fact
that it's just artistry and it's almost like a magic
type thing where you can just take all these tricks
out of your bag, and whether it be I guess,
(16:55):
a personal experience or if it's something that you know
somebody has, you know, fantasy about or whatever and putting
words and rhyme together. What's your favorite part about just
the process of songwriting.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I get so hyped up when I feel like I'm
onto something. Sometimes it happens that I'm writing the music first.
Sometimes I'll you know, have the lyrics first, but it
generally is sort of a simultaneous thing. And once I
feel like I'm onto something, it's kind of like, you know,
I have to solve finish the mystery and get to
the end.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
And just that height that I feel of, you know, getting.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
It three quarters done or whatever, I'm like, I'm almost there.
It's just it's it's really cool and it's fun to
I usually write alone or with just like one other person,
but when I feel really comfortable with somebody, I'll bring
them into the room to write. I've written with Kep
Mo and Beth Nilson Chapman many others along the way,
(17:52):
but I have to feel like really connected to them
because I feel like this is such a personal thing.
And when you get so excited, I'm like they've got
to be to handle this, you know, my my excitement
when I'm when I'm in, when I'm in the.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Zone, and I'm driven to get it done. So that's
the best part.
Speaker 9 (18:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I love to mention this, being a pretty much a
father now of a of a daughter now too, a
girl's dad. So I give a chance to interview more
females on this program compared to male country artists. It
just it happens that way. It's just something I enjoy doing,
and of course a lot of stuff gets said to me,
and it's awesome to have you guys on My point
is getting there, you know, looking at it. So many
(18:32):
ladies now I think are finally getting the respect they deserve,
you know, in this industry, and I think it's been
long overdue. I'm not trying to, you know, make anybody
upset when I say this, but Lady Wilson and just
the list go on and on for the class now
of twenty twenty two, three, four or five in the future.
Talk about just the motivation and some things that it
(18:52):
does for you kind of as a young artist. When
you see women of country girl power like takeover and
now they're stepping into the spotlight, not just for the
major arts shows, but for themselves as an artist and
for the songs they're choosing.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Yeah, I think we're evolving so much.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
And you know it it was a different world for
my mother, as it was for my grandmother, and you
know for my dad's my my grandmother on my dad's
side who you know, his great grandmother who came you know,
she was from the islands of these wars in Portugal.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
So it's a.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Totally different world, different culture, you know, different different society,
and we've come so far now and I think it
really represents America so well because it is we all
are about, you know, anyone can make it happen. And
seeing the surge in strong women coming up there, it
(19:45):
was always there, you know, Riba and uh Winona just
such inspiration all through it. But you know, we were
kind of the outliers. There weren't as many of us
as there were men. And it's it's it's not necessarily
the line of work that I think a lot of
women necessarily generally go towards, so but there, but we're here,
(20:08):
we exist, And I started this whole project with a
friend of mine, Lily May.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
She did she was sang on.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
The record and played a fiddle on the record and
also on another single of mine. And she's just one
of the first people I met when I came to Nashville.
Super inspiring, and you know, she's trudging through and has
been working in this industry for twenty some odd years
since she was little and has had some great milestones.
(20:35):
But we we're here and we exist and you know,
we're we're worthy as well, and so it's it's been
very inspiring to see the surge of that because, like
I said, generations before that wasn't necessarily the norm. You know,
you did it this way and that's the way it was,
you know, and now it just I think we're we
get to reach our greatest potential when we kind of
(20:57):
can allow everybody onto the field, you.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Know, that level playing field. And of course I can
said those ladies just pushing their cart out in front
and saying, you know what, if you want it, come
take it. And the bottom line is there, those songs
are fantastic, and You're right, the norm was there back
in the nineties, and I'm just glad to see it
really busting out even more today that they're staying out
in the lanes and going outside of the lanes and
a lot of collaborations becoming a huge part of this
(21:21):
industry too as well.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Well.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Time to set the scene form right here. You know,
I love snow globes, so we got to set the
scene here, Rebecca Korea here on the flying EP. It's
a song called snow Globe Seeing. Here it is on

Speaker 11 (26:10):
Hey all, this is Keith for Thompson, the ACM Award
winning duo Thompson Square, and you're listening to the Backstage
Pass exclusively on KKTC True Country and ninety nine point
nine in House, New Mexico.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
The Caden Gordon Show is a two hour show playing
the best in country music. So check it out at
the Cadangordon Show dot com. Again, that is the Caden
Gordon Show dot com.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Hey Becker, Rebecca Korea on the show. Here flying the
EP across all the digital streaming platform just came out
in November. Make sure you guys go download and stream
the music wherever it is. You also do podcast and
music at the same time. All right, snow globe scene.
I thought this really kind of set the festivities high,
specially being in the holiday season. But a lot of
people have seen movies when those things, you know, shaken,
(26:59):
kind of really enjoy that. Dude, what a cool way
man to put a festu songle this record.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, it's you know, it was sort of by accident
because it you know, it has the winter theme to it,
but it is based on a true story of my
very one of my very first roommates here in Nashville,
who it's it's a tragic loss. She lost her husband
and during that time after he had passed, we we
(27:30):
lived together for a few more years after that wasn't
supposed to go like that, but that's the way it happened,
and that song is about that experience of being frozen
in time sort of simultaneously celebrating that she married the
love of her life but also lost him, and so
it's it's a tragedy. So you know, it's I hesitated
(27:52):
in a way of releasing it this time because I I,
you know, it's supposed to be this happy, happy time,
but I know also the holidays can be a very
heavy time for some people and what they're experiencing. So
I've the response I've gotten so far has been incredible.
Just a ton of people that have reached out that
have you know, lost someone in their life, that have
(28:14):
you know, really said that it touched them and it
moved them. And so I'm glad that that you know
this story there can be some sort of you know,
thread that is tied into other for other people that
are are struggling and grieving for different reasons in their lives.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
It's a beautiful song and it touches people in a
lot more like you said, more ways than one when
it comes to the Christmas side of things or just
a winter side of things. But just a beautifully well
done uh tune out there too. Loved it, loved it,
loved it, no doubt about it. To get off the
flying ep from Rebecca Korea Art. Let's have a little
fun here too. You mentioned this before the show. I
try to squeeze in a little bit of sports talk
when I get a chance. Your favorite teams being from
(28:55):
up there in the northeast. New England got to start
with the Patriots, and I'm sure it just trickles down
Celtics and some others.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Right, yes, absolutely, New England Patriots all the way. Celtics.
I grew up going to see the games, you know,
like the days of Larry Bird. Not to date myself,
but you know, like those those days of the Celtics.
So it's hard to escape that. The Bruins, and then
of course the Red Sox for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
All I'm asking is just don't take my third basement
here from Houston. I'll say that they're in on him too.
I got named Alex Bregman, who's now Boston's actually a
favorite to get him. And of course one of the
former Alex Corra, the manager, was with the Astros down
here for a few years. So I'm hoping that they don't,
but hey, you never know. With baseball and free agency
right now, it's like the rich get richer, and hey,
(29:44):
like I said, if a player wants to go up
there and play, and you know who can blame him.
The Green Monster is just one of my favorite and
I've been to that ballpark. Rebecca so I love the
fact that ball can just shoot off that wall. Outfielders
have to play it a certain way and you can
actually really get thrown out trying to squeeze a single
into a double. But you know what, not many play.
And I'm sure you know growing up as a kid
out there too to watch a game in Fenway Park.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
And when we launched the beginning of this record release,
as I mentioned before, Lily May and I had a
single that we put out together and she happened. It
just happened that she jumped on board the tour with
post Malone and they launched the tour and they came
to Fenway. So I found myself a flight. I said,
(30:28):
I'm not missing this. I'm gonna go see you at Fenway.
I have to do this. So we took a really
cool video she and I inside Fenway before it was opened,
so there was no one in there, you know, and
it was just us in the Green Monster, which was wild,
so very special moment for me as an original New Englander.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I love that ballpark too, And like I said, the
only one I really was right there like a one
A one B. I mean, obviously for me, it was
like Wrigley Field in Chicago was the other one, and
then with the calm of the Cubs on the north side,
and then of course Dodger Stadium out there in Los
Angeles where you get a chance to see that old
field kind of stadium to it. And I was never
being an Astros fan down here. I really just despised
(31:08):
and really had hate and I mean that's a strong word,
but hate for the Yankees. So that rivalry always, as
you know, is never uh it's as great for the sport,
but you play each other. It's always have the root
for Boston over New York.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Yeah, there's something we have in common.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Then as a New Englander, you know, we're just we're
not allowed to like the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
It's just impossible.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
In no way. Uh Hey, being there in Nashville for
a while, never a stranger to restaurants and things like that,
when you get a chance to mosey on down and
have your your I guess, the comfort spot or at
least the food that really kind of makes you tick.
What are some of those hangout spots for you in
in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Oh, that's a really good question. It's Henrietta red Is
a really amazing place. Since I'm so picky about my
seafood coming from New England, they really do it really
well there. So that's that's one of my favorites. Let's see,
you know, a lot of the places I go to
(32:05):
sort of out and about, you know, further out of town.
But I would say Henrietta Read is like my favorite.
The Optimist is amazing as well.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Good places to choose from right there. Again, the EP
is flying across all those digitally streaming platforms out there. Hey,
tell me about the album cover as far as the
work they went into it, and I thought it was
lovely and it really just kind of just beautiful portrait
of you that I said the words coming across with
your name. Always fascinated by the work that goes into
the album cover.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, it's it's just as important as the music, you know.
I have throughout the years worked with a ton of
remarkable photographers and graphic designers. They're so key to making
sure that your art is represented well. This particular record
was done the graphic design and the photo was done
(32:54):
by Megan Aileen. She's here in Nashville and she and
I have been friends for about ten years. Now, I
would say, and she's just a one stop person. She
knows how to brand people. She knows exactly what looks
you're you know you need to get. Her photography is amazing,
but her graphic design is amazing.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
She can do websites. She's just a one stop for.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Everything and just puts a lot of thought and effort
and planning into the work.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
That she does.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
So she took that photo and then she designed and
chose the graphic, you know, the font and everything for it,
and she just always nails it every time that I've
worked with her.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
So she's a one stop. She's incredible.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I love that, the confidence to work with someone and
just carry it on through the record because you're very
much you are correct. The importance of that artwork is
just important as the songs that are put on the
record in itself too. At the same time, all right,
favorite toppings on a Rebecca Correa pizza and favorite flavor
of ice cream? Where we go with these?
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Okay, so favorite pizza is mushroom like lately, usually a
thin crust mushroom, sometimes green pepper, but simple, simple, And
then ice cream has definitely been chocolate chip.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
I love everybody saying that to You're the second or
third one this week for the artists that say we
have something in common. So that's what I love about it.
Mit chocolate chip, and I'm not so much I could try.
I didn't actually try. The other day we had some pizza.
I was like, you know, first time, so mushrooms pending
where you get it from. Not as high. But then again,
like I said, if I go to one of like
the parlors, I say, Pizza Parlors or whatever, like outdating
(34:33):
myself there too, restaurants for good pizza that made from scratch,
can can definitely do some mushrooms on that too. At
the same time, all right, give me some goals for
next year, obviously riding this record, but I know for
you guys, there's always that next project you're working forward to,
the next you know item out there too on the agenda,
and just those goals and things you're looking forward to.
Mostly for the first quarter of next year.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Well, January, I have some downtime at the beginnings. I'm
looking forward to that, and then we're going to to
do a party for the you know, the inside people
on the on the records that we're really looking forward
to celebrating because it was it went.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
It couldn't have gone any better, let's put it that way.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Very successful year, and I am starting to comprise some
more songs, write some more songs. I have a very
busy summer starting to put together, you know, to promote
the record and go out and tour, so that'll be
happening as well. And we've already been, you know, in
the talks about maybe doing another Kickstarter. It was so successful.
I don't know when, but maybe in twenty twenty five
(35:34):
there might be another one. And just keep this this
train to move in we'll see.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
I like it. Just keep that train moving right there.
Just the variety of the spice of life and the
music is just as good as the artist out there too.
At the same time, she's flying and flying high as
EP is a flying across all the digital streaming platforms
out there too, and you can give her a follow
