Speaker 1 (00:00):
And welcome inside the backstage past or final show of
twenty twenty four. Hard to believe we're coming upon almost
six years of doing this very brand here powered by
the Sports Guys podcast dot com and out there KKTC,
True Country ninety nine point nine Sentimental right now, final
show of twenty twenty four, but some good shows we're
already working on for twenty twenty five. Well, I guess
they say we saved the best for last, no doubt
(00:22):
about it. And some of these ladies we've done some
shows before and they've come together to accomplish the biggest
of bluegrass groups out there in bluegrass and of course
the country music out there. It's Gina Rainey and Dina
known as Sister Sadie. How are you guys doing.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
We're good, We're good.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I'm doing good? You know, we've been a little bit
under the weather.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Deani and I were putting this together over the past
few weeks, and I think we're trying to feel little
bit better, so I'm getting my voice back.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Deanie.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I know it's been a rough time with all this
upper respiratory stuff going around right now for all people
that are just under the weather.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
But how are you feeling well?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I've been better, but we're just laying here. Me and
my eight year old daughter are sitting here watching movies
all day, and she's sick as well, so Danny's been sick.
We just did the Opry on what was it Saturday, ladies,
and trying to keep everybody well so we can get
on stage. It's really hard to stime of a year.
(01:18):
But I tell you what, we're so honored to be
on your last show of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
How cool is that? It is a cool feeling, no
doubt about it too.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
And I tell you what, you know, y'all are so
synonymous with being on the opry there too, and I've
seen it several times, fantastic performances. We've also listened on
WSM of course when they play the opera, they'll play
it over the radio station there to AM six fifty
the Home of the Operator, which we just finished a great.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Fall campaign with them, seventeen shows out there.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I guess Jaylee, let's start right there with that, because
always a true honor to play the Grand Ole Opry,
and every time you got to step on stage, I'm
sure it's always something new comes up right.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Oh absolutely, It's never the same feeling, for sure, always
the same feeling of absolute being honored, in the same
amount of absolute nervousness, for sure. I've I get so
nervous before I go on, say to the opry every
single time, because you know, all of your heroes have
been inside that circle. Literally every single one of my
heroes that I have our music has stood in that circle.
(02:17):
And it's a dream come true every single time.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Let's building that too, because I want to go back
and for the people that may not know the story.
I mean, I have heard I guess the group of
Sister Sadie out there, Randy taking me back a little
bit to the formation of you ladies getting together and
making this thing. You know what it is today one
of the most synonymous bluegrass groups in bluegrass and country music.
Talk about just the story and the ride you guys
have been on ever since forming the group.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Well, I've been in this group since about about May
of this year, and it's been absolutely amazing for me.
I've been a fan of the band for a long time,
but I believe they formed the group back in twenty twelve.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
And Gina and Deani were the.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Original members, and I think it formed at the station
in around a show that they've played there, and it
just everybody meshed so well together, and they just decided
to keep playing and touring and starting to put out records,
and then there's been some some kind of turnover throughout
the years, I mean almost thirteen years I believe of
(03:21):
Sister Sadie being a band, which is incredible. So but
I'm just really so honored and grateful to be a
part of this new iteration of the band with Jaylee
and Danny and Maddie now joined, and it's just been
such an honor and it's been some of the most
fun I've had musically in my life over these past
months that I've been in the band.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So that was really good, Sweetie thinks.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Get answer no doubt about it. Did you talk about
that less?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Elaborate a little bit more, because you guys have just
an amazing sound when you guys put the instrumentation to
the music, and everybody has their unique style in this
group that it's really just done so much in a
short amount of time. Talk about just I guess the
history of it. Elaborate a little bit on kind of
what Rainie talked about a little bit there and just
the ride you guys have been on, because it's been
one heck of a.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Ride, it sure has. You know, Rainie's correct everything she
said there. We started thirteen years ago at the Station
Inn and twelve years ago thirteen years ago I don't remember.
And it was just five women who had known each other,
you know, our whole lives, but have never really played
together in that configuration. So we got together just as
(04:33):
friends one night, playing some tunes that we all loved,
and from the first note we hit, it was just
the best feeling. I can't describe it. It still happens
every time we get together. There's something about from the
very beginning, just the chemistry and the love that we
all have for one another, knowing each other our whole lives,
(04:57):
from the first downbeat, is just something really special. And
we just played a couple of times at the Station
in It went really well, and then we started getting
calls for some outside gigs and we were like, okay,
we'd go do a few of these, but none of
us were really wanting to tour a whole ton. I
kind of thought I was pretty much done with that part,
(05:18):
raising my granddaughter here. I didn't really want to go
bust the road a ton, but we went and did
a few shows and then got a call from a
record label to do a record, and then got a
call that we were nominated for some IBMA Awards, and
then we got a call we were nominated for a Grammy.
And so it's just been all really organic up until
(05:40):
the last year. I'd say, when you know, we've had
personnel changes. Dell In left the band, Beth Lawrence left
the band, Tina Adair left the band, And with every
band change, you know, energy changes, harmonies change, everything changes.
But the feel of that just first initial old note
that we hit together is still there. Just that love
(06:04):
and and just the the energy and the love that
we all have just loving being together and playing music
together is still there. So last year Gina and I,
with some personnel changes, decided, you know, should we keep going,
should we call this you know as it run its
(06:26):
has it run its course? And we both decided we
wanted to go all in. What would happen if we
actually gave this thing one hundred percent and had a
manager and had a booking agent and did the whole
thing Because we were doing it all in house, you know,
we were just booking ourselves and managing ourselves and running
around the road together. So I think in this past year,
(06:51):
bringing those people into this team and building a team
behind the music has really been effective and taken us
to a whole new level. And bringing in Rainy and
Jaylee and Maddie and Danny to what I just learned
as the Ogs, myself and Gina, that has really just
(07:15):
brought a whole new level of life to this thing
and energy to this thing that I'm so pumped up
and I'm just I'm ready to make music with these ladies.
I'm super pumped about it again. I'm excited about music.
I'm even excited about touring. So it's all been a
really good thing.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, and I love the album.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Let's build on this a little bit, Jaily, because I
love the fact you guys were able to put out
on another's your streat album called No Fear, which was
the beginning of this year. I artuably we're saying the
end of twenty twenty before get ready for next year.
But really the song that did it for me off
there set the tone for that record was Willow, and
I thought that was one of the ones that just
really personified the record too, and it's always important to
(07:55):
pick a very important song off there to set the
tone for the record, Jailey, And I know you've actually
done some things kind of the solo side of things.
We've done a show before. Jaylee Roberts here along with
us with the group's sister Sadie. Talk about just your
role in the group and this album, Jailee, I love.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
No Fear well.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
This album.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
You know, it started so I joined the band and
I had my audition in twenty twenty during COVID, and
then we started this album after I had joined the
band and there had been a couple of other personnel
changes throughout when we started No Fear, and it was
just such a cool process getting to, you know, all
(08:31):
pick out songs together and listen to the songs, have
little listening parties, and then get together at Deanie's house
and practice the songs or practice the songs, you know,
wherever we were out playing. And I just love everything
about this album because I think it has all of
us written all over it.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I really do.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
And this song specifically, Willow I will never forget Whenever
Danny and Deanie had Ashley McBride wrote the song and
she had sent it and we listened to it and
it was just like, oh yeah, and I read the car. Yeah.
We were in the car and it was so it
was just like almost like a magic moment. It was like,
(09:09):
this song is so cool. And then we went to
Deanie's house and we sat down and actually did it
and it was so much fun. I actually found the
voice memo and my phone the other day from the
first time we practiced it, and it's so different than
what it sounds like, but it's so cool.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I love it so much, and.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I just absolutely loved being in this band with all
of my best friends are like family to me, and
I couldn't I couldn't be more blessed. I'm so happy.
I love this album and I love the song. I
love it so much.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah, I love bluegrass and I probably had the King
of Bluegrass on just a few weeks ago too, was
talking about some new projects that he had. We're working
all right now. Some of his Christmas shows.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
We could put that.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Ricky Skaggs, who I'm referred to, came on the show
just a few weeks ago here talking about bluegrass Gine.
I want to bring you into because I never wanted
anybody to be left out, especially when we've got a
big group here. Know, his sister Sadie talk about just
your role in the group and when you joined, of
course you know just what it's been like for you
to see this ride continue. As Deanie talked about great
success ever since these albums and this great music has
come out.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Well, like Denie said, you know, we we have to reinvent.
Every time we've had a band change, we've had to
reinvent the band.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
And each time.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
I didn't hear if she said this, because it was
kind of going in and out. Each time that we
have had a band change, we've had to reinvent. And
it's every time it's brought new energy and new passion
and new creativity, and you know, the different aspects of
the new members that's come in, like the songwriting and
(10:38):
and everybody that like even Maddie coming in. You know,
when she came in, we didn't know she was a
singer really, and then we found out later that she
was a singer. So we have so many different avenues.
It's so exciting to have everyone is so talented in
so many different aspects and areas and it's just fun.
(10:59):
It's a it's a it's a fun band to be in.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
It's we like uh I did here.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
We love each other.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
It's like just looking at these guys right now on
the screen, I miss them. Like when we're not together,
we miss each other. We have fun together. And from
the first note we play every time, it's just like,
oh yeah, that's why we're doing this.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
This feels good.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
And Gina's a Gina's a banjo player and uh she was,
like I said, one of the original members. So she
and I are the two two left that started the band.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
No, it's it's a great sound, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
We got to play some music here on kk t
C True Country ninety nine point out out there at Taus,
New Mexico. The previous single from a group of Sister
Sadie All Will Be Well, that came out in September

Speaker 12 (15:27):
Hey, this is Nashville recording artist Anita Cochran and you're
listening to the Backstage Past podcast powered by Sports Guys
Podcasts exclusively. I'm KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine
in Taos, New Mexico.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Back here on the show, the final show of twenty
twenty four. It's Jayley, Rainey, Deani and Gina. I got
through that right there too. Some of that's a tongue twister.
It's sister saying here on the Backstage Pass again powered
by the Sports Guys podcast dot com and of course
out here KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine. So
I'll mention this one, Danie, the last one for Sip Timber.
When it came out, I loved saying well but all
(16:03):
will be well. He's the official title of this one.
Tell us all about this one?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
So this is off of a new record we're working on.
We'll be out next year, and this was the first
single from that. This is a Gabe Dixon tune. He
wrote this one and Danny brought.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
This to the band.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I first heard this it was a Jimmy Stewart version
of this tune. And you know when you hear new songs,
I instantly can hear which singer in the band is
going to do the best job with this tune. You
can instantly hear what voice fits that tune. And and
like Willow Jaylee, I just knew she would kill that one,
(16:38):
and for this one when I heard it, I thought
Danny would would do a great job with this. So
it was the perfect next lead to No Fear, because
you know, we named that record No Fear because we
had just had some some personnel changes. We keep talking
(17:00):
about that, but there's just been a lot and Gina
and I were talking about, you know, keeping this thing
rolling or calling it, and we decided we're gonna keep rolling.
And the perfect title for that record was No Fear.
So the follow up to that for me was now
we're not scared anymore. All will be well, let's go,
let's go do this. So we're gearing up for twenty
(17:22):
twenty five and ready to hit it hard.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I'm ready for that too, that twenty twenty five to
come into at the same time. And I want to
ask you too, Jaylee, a little bit about that too,
because just being a part of the group. Let's talk
about this latest single before we play here too, which
came out there just a few weeks ago here make
Me Stay or Make Me Go, which came out the
early part of November. Since our is our final show
of twenty twenty four, a lot of different You mentioned
the sounds, and you talk about anytime, it's kind of
(17:48):
like in sports, anytime, like I said, the teammate goes down,
it's next man up or anything like that out there.
But everybody brings their own unique kind of dichotomy to
the group there a little bit and that camaraderie you
have to have Make Me Stay to Make Me Go, Jaylee,
There's always something different on every song because everybody brings
that unique personality and a unique little dichotomy too to
the group.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Right, Yeah, yeah, So this single. I love this song
so much, and like the whole band were all huge
fans of nineties country, Like we love nineties country. That's
and it's like making a big comeback, which I love
so much.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I know we all do.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
And Danny brought this song to the band as well.
It's a Jesse Alexander song, and I know Danny loves
Jesse Alexander a lot, and we all do. I do too,
And just like just like some of the other songs,
most of the other songs, who were sitting at Deanie's
house and we listened to it and we all had
our instruments out and we were sitting around singing it
and it was so so much fun to do. And
(18:43):
then it was just even more fun to like get
to do in the studio too. To hear the song
like really come to life, like with all of the
all of the different instrumentation and everybody's take on like
their their solos, and like how it all came together
was really really neat. And hearing the finished product, the
product with you know steal and organ and you know
electric stuff on it was just so so cool and
(19:07):
I'm really proud of it. I think we're all really
proud of it. I think we're proud of this whole album.
I can't wait for everybody to hear this whole new album.
But yeah, I love the.
Speaker 2 (19:17):

Out there the current single make Me Stay or Make
Me Go, which is a phenomenal out there too. Love
the album No Fear we've talked about. Well, let's jump
into this too as far as New Year's resolutions, and
I'll start with you, Ranie, because I've heard from you,
and just move in here on the show. What New
Year's resolutions do you have, either personally or with the
group Sister Sadie.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Oh, that's a great question, one that I've been thinking
about a lot recently. One thing I am really hoping
to do in the new year is I mean, I'm
a college and so full time in college plus full
time in Sister Sadie is a lot of work. So
I am hoping to get more sleep in five and
(24:13):
try to just maybe get more exercise, get more sleep,
do some self care that's been It's hard to do
on the road, you know, and in college, but I
will be hopefully graduating in May, so that'll be easier.
I also want to just get more mandolin content out there.
I've been having a lot of fun learning all of
(24:36):
Sister Sadie's material and working up solos and it's been great.
But I would love to make more mandolin videos and
get that stuff out there too. So that's stuff I've
been thinking about for the coming year.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I like that good stuff right there daily for you
New Year's resolutions, either personally or.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
With the group.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Yeah, So I think for me, I really want to
work on my har playing more and more. I really
want to get more into actual picking. I've been doing
a lot of that here recently, trying too anyways, and
listening to a lot of different people, and I really
want to try to work on that because I'm not
much of a picker at all under any circumstance, So
definitely want to work on that. I want to work
(25:16):
on my songwriting more right with as many people as possible,
right with the girls in this awesome band, as much
as we can. And yeah, that's probably my big two
right now that I've been.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Thinking about, well, I know, Dani, what you're gonna say
for me and you, we got to get well, no
doubt about it. So I've been doing a lot of
self care and of course all the separate respiratory stuff
we're fighting out there too, get well, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
But what I guess otherwise.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
For you, Dean, Yeah, I uh, I've been thinking about
that too, that that they these two have mentioned things
I really want to focus on as well. Some self care,
just really trying to slow my slow my role, if
you will. I tend to go at nine hundred miles
an hour all the time. And and I have two kids,
(26:06):
and I would like to just be a little smarter
with my time and a little more present when I'm
here with.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
Them, you know.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
And I think we've all got projects that we're working on.
I'm going to start a new project. I can't really
talk about it yet, but I'm going to start a
new project this year as well. And I'm really impressed
with Rainy and jay Lee's near and I'm happy.
Speaker 7 (26:32):
To hear it, ladies.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
That's it's impressive. So yeah, we we're making some changes
that that will all be announced here pretty soon. Not
not band changes, but just some exciting things coming. And uh,
I'm really excited to dive into that and to try
to do it from a place of where I save
(26:54):
myself a little more.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I'm with you on that too, no doubt. Hey, I
mean cannon Ball coming back from the break there too.
Love This song came out off that No Fear record too, Danny.
This was a fantastic rendition, just a great bluegrass music here.
Tell us how this one got started, well, Danny.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Wrote this with some friends of hers, and when I
first heard this tune, I'm gonna admit this, I really
didn't like it. And Gina loved this tune, so I
gave it a few more listens and then we got
together and worked it up, and I really, I really
(27:33):
enjoyed it after we put our little spin on it.
I love you know. I worked with Patty Loveless for
twenty five years, so for me, I kind of heard
some Patty influences in there and that droning fiddle with
the vocal thing. So this has turned out to be
a really big song for us. Willow is a huge
(27:55):
song for us, and this one was a huge song
off that record, and Diane, that record was just really
really successful for us. And anyway, great tune. Danny did
a great job, great writing, great songs. So yeah, we
love this one.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Like I said, a lot of the great songs out
there too, available digital streaming platforms. Everything we're talking about
there too. And of course what you guys can hear
on KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine, I guess
went in Nashville there, Jaylee. I know, for me, there's
never a shortage of restaurants to kind of pick at
where I want to go, hole in the walls or
just things out there. I love to eat, and just
seems like every time on any corner, they're always adding
(28:36):
some new restaurant out there. Where do you like to go, Jailey,
I guess I'm Night on the Town.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Music City Bar and Grill. I've spent many, many many
days there, and you cannot only have good food, but
there is always good music all throughout the day, all
throughout the night. Every time we play the Opry every
time I pretty much am home. I want to go
to Music City Bar and Girl and just hang out
(29:01):
and see my friends and they'll get us up to
like do stuff there. It's so much fun. It's a
great place. I couldn't suggest it more.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I love that place too, Ranny, Where do you like
to go to Night on the town when it comes
to the live music or the scene out there.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
I'm excited to move to Nashville when I graduate, but
I've been there a lot because of his band and
just spending time out there, so I've been having fun
getting out. I've been going to D's a Lot, a
bar in Nashville. They always have great live music and
James Hideaway has great music. Music City is great. I
actually was there the other day and had no idea
that jay Lee and Gina were also going to be there,
(29:36):
so we all ran into each other there too, out
of the blue, which was amazing. And I love that
about Nashville. Everywhere you go, you know, it's a big
city but a small community, and you can always see
your friends. So those are places that I've been having
fun checking out.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Yeah, I like that too. Of course.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I love anything on Broadway, which is always fun. And
when I'm away from Broadway, it's like Midtown. I love
the Doghouse there for a little bit too, always a
kind of a cool place for mee What does it
for you out there? When it comes to those live
music scenes.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
Music City Bar and grill, the Local. There's a new
local in Hendersonville, so there's a couple of them now.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
But we all love.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
To go here.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
Kevin Denny, so he plays at the Local every Saturday night,
so we go see him a lot when I still
live in North Carolina, but I'm in town a lot
these days, and I love to You know, what's so
cool about this band is we actually we still we
like hanging out together even when we're not on the
road playing.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Denny, what does it for you too?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Speaking of that named Kevin Denny, he's one of the
guys coming up here in twenty twenty five. He's one
of my favorite friends out there to He'll be on
the show here coming up in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Denny, what does it for you out there live music scenes?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Well, that's always a good time at the local here
in Organic Country. My perfect night in Nashville would be
Shohin's Masala and l House and then both that's on
twelve at one end, and then bolt to Twelfth on
the other end to the station end. So I'm right
on Twelfth Avenue and hitting some Indian food on one
(31:07):
side and drinking the coldest corona in town on the
other side.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
That's always a good I love Indian food too, one
of my favorite cuisines to kind of dive into, no
doubt about it too.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Dot Com, exclusively at KKTC True Country ninety nine point

And welcome inside the backstage past or final show of
twenty twenty four. Hard to believe we're coming upon almost
six years of doing this very brand here powered by
the Sports Guys podcast dot com and out there KKTC,
True Country ninety nine point nine Sentimental right now, final
show of twenty twenty four, but some good shows we're
already working on for twenty twenty five. Well, I guess
they say we saved the best for last, no doubt
(00:22):
about it. And some of these ladies we've done some
shows before and they've come together to accomplish the biggest
of bluegrass groups out there in bluegrass and of course
the country music out there. It's Gina Rainey and Dina
known as Sister Sadie. How are you guys doing.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
We're good, We're good.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I'm doing good? You know, we've been a little bit
under the weather.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Deani and I were putting this together over the past
few weeks, and I think we're trying to feel little
bit better, so I'm getting my voice back.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Deanie.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I know it's been a rough time with all this
upper respiratory stuff going around right now for all people
that are just under the weather.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
But how are you feeling well?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I've been better, but we're just laying here. Me and
my eight year old daughter are sitting here watching movies
all day, and she's sick as well, so Danny's been sick.
We just did the Opry on what was it Saturday, ladies,
and trying to keep everybody well so we can get
on stage. It's really hard to stime of a year.
(01:18):
But I tell you what, we're so honored to be
on your last show of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
How cool is that? It is a cool feeling, no
doubt about it too.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
And I tell you what, you know, y'all are so
synonymous with being on the opry there too, and I've
seen it several times, fantastic performances. We've also listened on
WSM of course when they play the opera, they'll play
it over the radio station there to AM six fifty
the Home of the Operator, which we just finished a great.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Fall campaign with them, seventeen shows out there.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I guess Jaylee, let's start right there with that, because
always a true honor to play the Grand Ole Opry,
and every time you got to step on stage, I'm
sure it's always something new comes up right.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Oh absolutely, It's never the same feeling, for sure, always
the same feeling of absolute being honored, in the same
amount of absolute nervousness, for sure. I've I get so
nervous before I go on, say to the opry every
single time, because you know, all of your heroes have
been inside that circle. Literally every single one of my
heroes that I have our music has stood in that circle.
(02:17):
And it's a dream come true every single time.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Let's building that too, because I want to go back
and for the people that may not know the story.
I mean, I have heard I guess the group of
Sister Sadie out there, Randy taking me back a little
bit to the formation of you ladies getting together and
making this thing. You know what it is today one
of the most synonymous bluegrass groups in bluegrass and country music.
Talk about just the story and the ride you guys
have been on ever since forming the group.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Well, I've been in this group since about about May
of this year, and it's been absolutely amazing for me.
I've been a fan of the band for a long time,
but I believe they formed the group back in twenty twelve.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
And Gina and Deani were the.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Original members, and I think it formed at the station
in around a show that they've played there, and it
just everybody meshed so well together, and they just decided
to keep playing and touring and starting to put out records,
and then there's been some some kind of turnover throughout
the years, I mean almost thirteen years I believe of
(03:21):
Sister Sadie being a band, which is incredible. So but
I'm just really so honored and grateful to be a
part of this new iteration of the band with Jaylee
and Danny and Maddie now joined, and it's just been
such an honor and it's been some of the most
fun I've had musically in my life over these past
months that I've been in the band.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So that was really good, Sweetie thinks.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Get answer no doubt about it. Did you talk about
that less?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Elaborate a little bit more, because you guys have just
an amazing sound when you guys put the instrumentation to
the music, and everybody has their unique style in this
group that it's really just done so much in a
short amount of time. Talk about just I guess the
history of it. Elaborate a little bit on kind of
what Rainie talked about a little bit there and just
the ride you guys have been on, because it's been
one heck of a.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Ride, it sure has. You know, Rainie's correct everything she
said there. We started thirteen years ago at the Station
Inn and twelve years ago thirteen years ago I don't remember.
And it was just five women who had known each other,
you know, our whole lives, but have never really played
together in that configuration. So we got together just as
(04:33):
friends one night, playing some tunes that we all loved,
and from the first note we hit, it was just
the best feeling. I can't describe it. It still happens
every time we get together. There's something about from the
very beginning, just the chemistry and the love that we
all have for one another, knowing each other our whole lives,
(04:57):
from the first downbeat, is just something really special. And
we just played a couple of times at the Station
in It went really well, and then we started getting
calls for some outside gigs and we were like, okay,
we'd go do a few of these, but none of
us were really wanting to tour a whole ton. I
kind of thought I was pretty much done with that part,
(05:18):
raising my granddaughter here. I didn't really want to go
bust the road a ton, but we went and did
a few shows and then got a call from a
record label to do a record, and then got a
call that we were nominated for some IBMA Awards, and
then we got a call we were nominated for a Grammy.
And so it's just been all really organic up until
(05:40):
the last year. I'd say, when you know, we've had
personnel changes. Dell In left the band, Beth Lawrence left
the band, Tina Adair left the band, And with every
band change, you know, energy changes, harmonies change, everything changes.
But the feel of that just first initial old note
that we hit together is still there. Just that love
(06:04):
and and just the the energy and the love that
we all have just loving being together and playing music
together is still there. So last year Gina and I,
with some personnel changes, decided, you know, should we keep going,
should we call this you know as it run its
(06:26):
has it run its course? And we both decided we
wanted to go all in. What would happen if we
actually gave this thing one hundred percent and had a
manager and had a booking agent and did the whole
thing Because we were doing it all in house, you know,
we were just booking ourselves and managing ourselves and running
around the road together. So I think in this past year,
(06:51):
bringing those people into this team and building a team
behind the music has really been effective and taken us
to a whole new level. And bringing in Rainy and
Jaylee and Maddie and Danny to what I just learned
as the Ogs, myself and Gina, that has really just
(07:15):
brought a whole new level of life to this thing
and energy to this thing that I'm so pumped up
and I'm just I'm ready to make music with these ladies.
I'm super pumped about it again. I'm excited about music.
I'm even excited about touring. So it's all been a
really good thing.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, and I love the album.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Let's build on this a little bit, Jaily, because I
love the fact you guys were able to put out
on another's your streat album called No Fear, which was
the beginning of this year. I artuably we're saying the
end of twenty twenty before get ready for next year.
But really the song that did it for me off
there set the tone for that record was Willow, and
I thought that was one of the ones that just
really personified the record too, and it's always important to
(07:55):
pick a very important song off there to set the
tone for the record, Jailey, And I know you've actually
done some things kind of the solo side of things.
We've done a show before. Jaylee Roberts here along with
us with the group's sister Sadie. Talk about just your
role in the group and this album, Jailee, I love.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
No Fear well.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
This album.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
You know, it started so I joined the band and
I had my audition in twenty twenty during COVID, and
then we started this album after I had joined the
band and there had been a couple of other personnel
changes throughout when we started No Fear, and it was
just such a cool process getting to, you know, all
(08:31):
pick out songs together and listen to the songs, have
little listening parties, and then get together at Deanie's house
and practice the songs or practice the songs, you know,
wherever we were out playing. And I just love everything
about this album because I think it has all of
us written all over it.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I really do.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
And this song specifically, Willow I will never forget Whenever
Danny and Deanie had Ashley McBride wrote the song and
she had sent it and we listened to it and
it was just like, oh yeah, and I read the car. Yeah.
We were in the car and it was so it
was just like almost like a magic moment. It was like,
(09:09):
this song is so cool. And then we went to
Deanie's house and we sat down and actually did it
and it was so much fun. I actually found the
voice memo and my phone the other day from the
first time we practiced it, and it's so different than
what it sounds like, but it's so cool.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I love it so much, and.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I just absolutely loved being in this band with all
of my best friends are like family to me, and
I couldn't I couldn't be more blessed. I'm so happy.
I love this album and I love the song. I
love it so much.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah, I love bluegrass and I probably had the King
of Bluegrass on just a few weeks ago too, was
talking about some new projects that he had. We're working
all right now. Some of his Christmas shows.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
We could put that.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Ricky Skaggs, who I'm referred to, came on the show
just a few weeks ago here talking about bluegrass Gine.
I want to bring you into because I never wanted
anybody to be left out, especially when we've got a
big group here. Know, his sister Sadie talk about just
your role in the group and when you joined, of
course you know just what it's been like for you
to see this ride continue. As Deanie talked about great
success ever since these albums and this great music has
come out.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
Well, like Denie said, you know, we we have to reinvent.
Every time we've had a band change, we've had to
reinvent the band.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
And each time.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
I didn't hear if she said this, because it was
kind of going in and out. Each time that we
have had a band change, we've had to reinvent. And
it's every time it's brought new energy and new passion
and new creativity, and you know, the different aspects of
the new members that's come in, like the songwriting and
(10:38):
and everybody that like even Maddie coming in. You know,
when she came in, we didn't know she was a
singer really, and then we found out later that she
was a singer. So we have so many different avenues.
It's so exciting to have everyone is so talented in
so many different aspects and areas and it's just fun.
(10:59):
It's a it's a it's a fun band to be in.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
It's we like uh I did here.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
We love each other.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
It's like just looking at these guys right now on
the screen, I miss them. Like when we're not together,
we miss each other. We have fun together. And from
the first note we play every time, it's just like,
oh yeah, that's why we're doing this.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
This feels good.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
And Gina's a Gina's a banjo player and uh she was,
like I said, one of the original members. So she
and I are the two two left that started the band.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
No, it's it's a great sound, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
We got to play some music here on kk t
C True Country ninety nine point out out there at Taus,
New Mexico. The previous single from a group of Sister
Sadie All Will Be Well, that came out in September
of this year, two thousand before here it is.

Speaker 11 (15:16):

Speaker 12 (15:27):
Hey, this is Nashville recording artist Anita Cochran and you're
listening to the Backstage Past podcast powered by Sports Guys
Podcasts exclusively. I'm KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine
in Taos, New Mexico.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Back here on the show, the final show of twenty
twenty four. It's Jayley, Rainey, Deani and Gina. I got
through that right there too. Some of that's a tongue twister.
It's sister saying here on the Backstage Pass again powered
by the Sports Guys podcast dot com and of course
out here KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine. So
I'll mention this one, Danie, the last one for Sip Timber.
When it came out, I loved saying well but all
(16:03):
will be well. He's the official title of this one.
Tell us all about this one?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
So this is off of a new record we're working on.
We'll be out next year, and this was the first
single from that. This is a Gabe Dixon tune. He
wrote this one and Danny brought.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
This to the band.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I first heard this it was a Jimmy Stewart version
of this tune. And you know when you hear new songs,
I instantly can hear which singer in the band is
going to do the best job with this tune. You
can instantly hear what voice fits that tune. And and
like Willow Jaylee, I just knew she would kill that one,
(16:38):
and for this one when I heard it, I thought
Danny would would do a great job with this. So
it was the perfect next lead to No Fear, because
you know, we named that record No Fear because we
had just had some some personnel changes. We keep talking
(17:00):
about that, but there's just been a lot and Gina
and I were talking about, you know, keeping this thing
rolling or calling it, and we decided we're gonna keep rolling.
And the perfect title for that record was No Fear.
So the follow up to that for me was now
we're not scared anymore. All will be well, let's go,
let's go do this. So we're gearing up for twenty
(17:22):
twenty five and ready to hit it hard.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I'm ready for that too, that twenty twenty five to
come into at the same time. And I want to
ask you too, Jaylee, a little bit about that too,
because just being a part of the group. Let's talk
about this latest single before we play here too, which
came out there just a few weeks ago here make
Me Stay or Make Me Go, which came out the
early part of November. Since our is our final show
of twenty twenty four, a lot of different You mentioned
the sounds, and you talk about anytime, it's kind of
(17:48):
like in sports, anytime, like I said, the teammate goes down,
it's next man up or anything like that out there.
But everybody brings their own unique kind of dichotomy to
the group there a little bit and that camaraderie you
have to have Make Me Stay to Make Me Go, Jaylee,
There's always something different on every song because everybody brings
that unique personality and a unique little dichotomy too to
the group.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Right, Yeah, yeah, So this single. I love this song
so much, and like the whole band were all huge
fans of nineties country, Like we love nineties country. That's
and it's like making a big comeback, which I love
so much.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I know we all do.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
And Danny brought this song to the band as well.
It's a Jesse Alexander song, and I know Danny loves
Jesse Alexander a lot, and we all do. I do too,
And just like just like some of the other songs,
most of the other songs, who were sitting at Deanie's

KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Out there the current single make Me Stay or Make
Me Go, which is a phenomenal out there too. Love
the album No Fear we've talked about. Well, let's jump
into this too as far as New Year's resolutions, and
I'll start with you, Ranie, because I've heard from you,
and just move in here on the show. What New
Year's resolutions do you have, either personally or with the
group Sister Sadie.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Oh, that's a great question, one that I've been thinking
about a lot recently. One thing I am really hoping
to do in the new year is I mean, I'm
a college and so full time in college plus full
time in Sister Sadie is a lot of work. So
I am hoping to get more sleep in five and
(24:13):
try to just maybe get more exercise, get more sleep,
do some self care that's been It's hard to do
on the road, you know, and in college, but I
will be hopefully graduating in May, so that'll be easier.
I also want to just get more mandolin content out there.
I've been having a lot of fun learning all of
(24:36):
Sister Sadie's material and working up solos and it's been great.
But I would love to make more mandolin videos and
get that stuff out there too. So that's stuff I've
been thinking about for the coming year.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I like that good stuff right there daily for you
New Year's resolutions, either personally or.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
With the group.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Yeah, So I think for me, I really want to
work on my har playing more and more. I really
want to get more into actual picking. I've been doing
a lot of that here recently, trying too anyways, and
listening to a lot of different people, and I really
want to try to work on that because I'm not
much of a picker at all under any circumstance, So
definitely want to work on that. I want to work
(25:16):
on my songwriting more right with as many people as possible,
right with the girls in this awesome band, as much
as we can. And yeah, that's probably my big two
right now that I've been.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Thinking about, well, I know, Dani, what you're gonna say
for me and you, we got to get well, no
doubt about it. So I've been doing a lot of
self care and of course all the separate respiratory stuff
we're fighting out there too, get well, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
But what I guess otherwise.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
For you, Dean, Yeah, I uh, I've been thinking about
that too, that that they these two have mentioned things
I really want to focus on as well. Some self care,
just really trying to slow my slow my role, if
you will. I tend to go at nine hundred miles
an hour all the time. And and I have two kids,
(26:06):
and I would like to just be a little smarter
with my time and a little more present when I'm
here with.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
Them, you know.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
And I think we've all got projects that we're working on.
I'm going to start a new project. I can't really
talk about it yet, but I'm going to start a
new project this year as well. And I'm really impressed
with Rainy and jay Lee's near and I'm happy.
Speaker 7 (26:32):
To hear it, ladies.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
That's it's impressive. So yeah, we we're making some changes
that that will all be announced here pretty soon. Not
not band changes, but just some exciting things coming. And uh,
I'm really excited to dive into that and to try
to do it from a place of where I save
(26:54):
myself a little more.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I'm with you on that too, no doubt. Hey, I
mean cannon Ball coming back from the break there too.
Love This song came out off that No Fear record too, Danny.
This was a fantastic rendition, just a great bluegrass music here.
Tell us how this one got started, well, Danny.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Wrote this with some friends of hers, and when I
first heard this tune, I'm gonna admit this, I really
didn't like it. And Gina loved this tune, so I
gave it a few more listens and then we got
together and worked it up, and I really, I really
(27:33):
enjoyed it after we put our little spin on it.
I love you know. I worked with Patty Loveless for
twenty five years, so for me, I kind of heard
some Patty influences in there and that droning fiddle with
the vocal thing. So this has turned out to be
a really big song for us. Willow is a huge
(27:55):
song for us, and this one was a huge song
off that record, and Diane, that record was just really
really successful for us. And anyway, great tune. Danny did
a great job, great writing, great songs. So yeah, we
love this one.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Like I said, a lot of the great songs out
there too, available digital streaming platforms. Everything we're talking about
there too. And of course what you guys can hear
on KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine, I guess
went in Nashville there, Jaylee. I know, for me, there's
never a shortage of restaurants to kind of pick at
where I want to go, hole in the walls or
just things out there. I love to eat, and just
seems like every time on any corner, they're always adding
(28:36):
some new restaurant out there. Where do you like to go, Jailey,
I guess I'm Night on the Town.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Music City Bar and Grill. I've spent many, many many
days there, and you cannot only have good food, but
there is always good music all throughout the day, all
throughout the night. Every time we play the Opry every
time I pretty much am home. I want to go
to Music City Bar and Girl and just hang out
(29:01):
and see my friends and they'll get us up to
like do stuff there. It's so much fun. It's a
great place. I couldn't suggest it more.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I love that place too, Ranny, Where do you like
to go to Night on the town when it comes
to the live music or the scene out there.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
I'm excited to move to Nashville when I graduate, but
I've been there a lot because of his band and
just spending time out there, so I've been having fun
getting out. I've been going to D's a Lot, a
bar in Nashville. They always have great live music and
James Hideaway has great music. Music City is great. I
actually was there the other day and had no idea
that jay Lee and Gina were also going to be there,
(29:36):
so we all ran into each other there too, out
of the blue, which was amazing. And I love that
about Nashville. Everywhere you go, you know, it's a big
city but a small community, and you can always see
your friends. So those are places that I've been having
fun checking out.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Yeah, I like that too. Of course.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I love anything on Broadway, which is always fun. And
when I'm away from Broadway, it's like Midtown. I love
the Doghouse there for a little bit too, always a
kind of a cool place for mee What does it
for you out there? When it comes to those live
music scenes.

cool about this band is we actually we still we

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Denny, what does it for you out there live music scenes?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Well, that's always a good time at the local here
in Organic Country. My perfect night in Nashville would be
Shohin's Masala and l House and then both that's on
twelve at one end, and then bolt to Twelfth on
the other end to the station end. So I'm right
on Twelfth Avenue and hitting some Indian food on one
(31:07):
side and drinking the coldest corona in town on the
other side.
