Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, y'all, this is Tarran Papa 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 (00:10):
Pleased to have Terran Papa here on the show, of course,
so you're the inspiration the current single across all the
digital streaming platforms. Hey, we've been trying to put this
together for a while. How you doing.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I'm doing well. Thank you so much for having me.
I'm so excited about this project. It started at the
top of the year and finally to put it out there.
It's really awesome. So excited to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well, so are you. And happy holidays to you and
your husband. And I love the Christmas tree in the background.
I'm putting mine up this weekend a little bit and
not say late to the party, but hey, it's going
to be nice to put that up to My daughter
wants like all the decorations now, so daddy's gonna have
to work overtime before it gets toation out to Arizona.
But hey, anyway, happy holidays to you guys, and hey,
let's talk about this. I loved it when you put
(00:52):
it together. It had just everything from like almost an anthem.
It just really made me go on a roll, a
roller coaster ride for a while, and I felt something
because we all go through different facets of life. And
I think everybody that has not heard this song, they'll
be hearing the song on my radio calls in the
next few weeks. Is we're gonna play it on KKTC
True Country. But talk about just a little backstory of
(01:13):
this one, how it came together, the writing, and of
course you know, working with Jason on this project, and this.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Was such an incredible song. You're the Inspiration featuring Jason
Jason Chef. That is a tom Twister featuring Jason Chef.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
He is a longtime lead singer of the band Chicago.
This song was an original David Foster Peter Setera project,
and as the longtime lead singer of the band, it
was just you had to have him. I had to
have him on there. I met him a few years
ago back in Nashville. I was on a TV show
called American Supergroup something like that. It's so long ago,
(01:53):
and he was one of the judges for the show.
So I kind of got to meet him then and
I'm sorry, cat is screwing.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Sosier?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, a long time. I met him a long time ago,
and he was somebody that I idolized. I loved his
contribution to Chicago, and I knew I had always wanted
to do this song. This was a song and group
listening to with my dad and he would sing in
the car. And when I had the opportunity, I shot
him an email in January and he responded, I did
(02:28):
not expect that. So that's kind of how it happened.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Did you kind of know from the young age that
basically you know you were going to be, you know,
doing this for a living when it came to like
just taking everything and that connection to music, talk to
me about that and just kind of when that light
bulb came on, like you know what, I'm taking this
all the way. I'm going to cash in all my chips,
take house money, whatever, and I'm going to become a musician.
Tell me when that finally just like he question.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, so in high school, you know you get the solo.
I got a solo. I had got to sing a
national anthem at a boys basketball game. I was very
nervous and my uncle had a band called No Excuses,
and he just played with a bunch of his buddies.
He was a police officer. They were all like cops.
They were originally called House Arrest, which is hilarious, but
(03:14):
long story short. I joined his band and got the
confidence that I needed. And once I felt like I
graduated and was ready to graduate from Connecticut, I moved
to Nashville and it took maybe a year year and
a half before I really was like, Okay, I can
do this and I can do this on my own.
I don't need to cofront with anybody. I want to
start my own band and take it and run. So
(03:37):
I would say yeah. About twelve thirteen years ago was
when that all started and I felt like I had
what it takes. I had a good understanding of the industry,
how songwriting works, the business side of it, and I
had the vocal side of it. So once I felt
that all connected, I knew that was the way to
take it all the way.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Let's talk about this hot show. It's what season twenty
six now, I cannot believe it's been twenty six seasons
of this show called The Voice on NBC. And again,
so many great coaches come and go I love this
because the fact is this is one of the best
shows when it comes to not to knock the rest
of the competition, but man, I think this is really why.
It's not for the money. Of course, I know they
get paid there too, But when you look at this
season right here, and of course the season you were on,
(04:20):
these coaches want to bring the best out of these artists.
Otherwise they wouldn't take the job and sit in those
red chairs and just develop and shoot a TV show
and just kind of sit out there and push buttons
and make jokes. They really want to help these artists achieve. You, guys,
in your dreams, talk about your experience on the show,
the coaches you had, the mentors, things like that, things
you learn to prep you for the business when you
got off of that show, because they were like real work. Again,
(04:43):
when you get off a platform like.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
That, it does. Yeah, the voice. Man, I auditioned for
that show, I want to say nine or ten times. Yeah,
I remember when it came out. I drove all the
way to New Jersey living in Connecticut, and I auditioned
like four or five times. I honestly feel like season
nineteen was twenty twenty. That was when I was on
the show. It came at a perfect time, because of
(05:05):
course I wanted to be on it the day it
was created, but I don't think I was ready for
it until I actually was on the show. There was
so much that I feel like I like I said,
I had to learn the business side. I had to
learn a lot about the industry, and I think that
really played to my advantage because I knew enough to
know how to make a song my own. I knew
enough to say, Okay, this is in my vocal range,
(05:27):
this is the key that I needed in, this is
my melody, idea on how to make it different. I
think that all those years on Broadway and singing four
or five nights a week, that really gave me the
tools that I needed to make it to top ten,
top seventeen. I'm not even sure at this point, but
the coaches were awesome, the band was outstanding, the house
(05:51):
band that they put you with, the music director Paul
was incredible, and it was a really awesome experience.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You've had a lot of great songs. They really have
found you or you found them either way. But I'll
go back a little bit too. Last year one called
gold Mine. Tell us all about that one.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, we're actually going to perform that for you today.
Gold Mine is actually the first song that I have
recorded that I did not write, but I felt like
the song really resonated with the brand of music and
the sound and the lyrics that I like in a song.
A lot of my music is inspirational, it's about love,
(06:26):
it's written about my husband. It's just all feel good music.
So when I heard gold Mine, I was like, man,
I have to cut this song. It had a lot
of like I almost want to say, bluesy Melissa Ethridge, ty,
black velvety vibes to it, which I love outside of
the country genre. So for me, it felt like a
(06:46):
really good mesh of country pop, country rock, country soul.
It had everything that I love in other genres as well,
So that was a really fun song to cut.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I love it too, And it's just like you said
the inspiration out There title of the latest single from
it and Papa out there, You're the inspiration. Here on

Speaker 2 (11:00):
And back you were tearing Papa on the backstage Pass again.
KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine out there too,
Just Heart to perform one of her singles, gold Mine
out there too. Let's talk about this one because I
know Mercy had come out too just a while back
in twenty twenty two. Let's talk about this one too,
because I loved it. The same year you'd put out
another great one one of my favorites, Persuaded. Let's start
(11:21):
with Mercy and get a little backstory on network.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, Mercy's awesome. I actually had that song as a
YouTube cover Josh Gallagher and I did together as a duet.
He actually had just hopped off the voice. Adam Levine
was his coach. He got bumped around a bit and
we had performed together. I was the I believe I
was one of the first artists he ever played with
in Nashville, and he came up to me on stage
(11:44):
and was like, Hey, I want to sing a song.
I'm a singer. I'm like, yeah, okay, so is everybody
in Nashville. And I just fell in love with his voice.
So we wanted to do that song together on YouTube.
And then when my manager heard it, she was like,
why isn't this a single? So we ended up releasing that.
Seawanman this song, and I think it's just a really
fun It was a really fun cover for us. The
(12:05):
lyrics felt very country, so we thought why not. So
that was a fun one for us.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
And then kind of shifted gears to Persuaded, which came
out just shortly after that one too. At the same time,
another just one of those songs, it really just touches
the heart.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Thank you so much. Yeah, Persuaded was the first song
I ever wrote when I moved to Nashville. I was
here maybe about a year and a half before I
wrote it and I put it out and we had
different production on it. It was very, very pop lending with
like an EDM breakdown. It was definitely not Nashville ready,
(12:39):
which maybe right now, if I released that old version
it might work actually, but we redid it and made
it a little bit more pop country and a little
bit more in the vein of awake and changed. And
it's one of my favorite songs. And like I said,
it's the first one I ever wrote. So it's my
baby for sure.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
When you look at the direction now of the way
the female artists are really taking country music by storm,
let's talk about this. I mean, Laney's been on fire
for the past a few years. Mean I got her
before she got big here on this very channel here
back in December of twenty twenty, and I told her
here on the show Very Show, I said, you're gonna
blow up. She goes, I'll stop.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
No, you got to add that for me because maybe
that's some good vibes.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
You know what I'll tell you right now, Terry Papa
could blow up here in the next two or three years.
Watch out, thank you.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
We love that.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
No.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I met Lane a few times. She's an awesome person.
She's really crushing it. I would definitely say she's paving
the way for female artists. A lot of females have
been paving the way for years, and her success is awesome.
I love the single that she came out with because
I felt like her you know, debut single was a
(13:54):
slow song. It was a love song, Things a man
ought to Know. I was like, man, this is good
because it lets you know, you don't have to have
this huge booming voice or a huge pop heavy track
lending anything. It was just real country music. And that's
why I got started in this industry. I fell in
love with Martina faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, Leanne Rimes, all
(14:15):
those artists that just sing true, genuine, authentic country music.
And so I felt like she's an awesome artist for
sure to admire. I love her lyrical stories, and you know,
one can only hope for the same, right, So I
think she's making a good way for us. Females.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I love it too, and of Core's so many other females,
Hannah Ellis and Ashley Cook and Charlie Pearce, Ashley McBride.
It is just going there on fire Casey Tindall. I mean,
there's so many Ella Langley names go on and on,
and that's just a beautiful thing for me because I
grew up being a nineties country and female. For all
the artists and for all the people that I've spoken
to her on the program, it's just been a whirlwind
(14:55):
for us and just seeing the growth, but also to
never forgetting the roots, tearing of like where you come
from and of course listening to those type of songs
when you grew up.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Oh for sure. Hannah Ellis lived in my old apartment complex.
Ashley McBride and I we used to write together. I
know a lot of all these girls you're listening, I'm like,
oh good. You know, if it's not you, hopefully someone
you know right that's making their way to success. So
absolutely nineties country. I love a lot of the guys
(15:24):
right now to Zach Top and a lot of a
lot of that nineties is coming back, thank you so much.
So I'm planning on a new EP hopefully soon. That
kind of goes back to those roots of why I
fell in love with country music and listening to those
big ballady type artists with really good, feel good stories.
So on the horizon, it's going to be a little
(15:46):
EP soon, so stay tuned everybody.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Looking forward to that too. I also go back to
the debut single, the one, that first one he released.
This was March twenty twenty two, Changed. I wanted to
I want to get into this one, and definitely I'm
always interested because I love you so much where songs
come from and the inspiration behind them. But Changed was
such a beautifully well done song.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Thank you so much. We are going to play that
for you today. See you're picking out the ones that
I've already was feeling as my vibe for the day,
so we know you got good taste. Actually, when I
met my husband here, this is Brett on the guitar,
and I met him a couple of years ago in Nashville.
Change was the first song that I wrote about him,
and it's just like a poppy, feel good song about
(16:33):
just you know. Of course you go on dates, of
course you meet people, but I never felt like my
world had flipped upside down. I never felt like, oh wow,
has that always been like that? Is that how that
feels to hold a hand or so. A lot of
the lyrics and the verses are things that happened for us,
like him walking me home, us being in an uber.
All this stuff was kind of our journey for the
(16:55):
first few dates that we had together, and so that's
how change was born.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
So well, you know what perfect segue right here too,
the backstage, Bastarry Papa, it's changed here it is take
it away, thank you.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Yeah, I didn't know I couldn't miss somebody in the
next room.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I never thought I feel this, and if I didn't,
wouldn't be this soon.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
I was scared to love a heart that wasn't mine.
Too fine, one of us was gonna get burned. The
only thing I'm thinking about is making you mind. I
ain't afraid of get hurt. I guess sound check it andang.
I never found this way, and I don't think I
never beat the same angle.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
Just the sound of your name is got me creepy
on touch, never getting off.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
I never been the kind of stay gains some check

Speaker 4 (19:38):

Speaker 2 (19:44):
I love it. See you call up with the music
again over and over again, just repeat that was a
little see you in the car. I love it so much.
Keeps streaming Highway driving, no doubt, and that's just being
a radio guide listens to tons of music through weeks too.
Just fantastic too. And I want to ask you about
this because the holidays are coming up and I don't
(20:05):
know if this is something you can actually publicly speak on,
but you never know, you might as well ask a
question here. If you don't jump in the deep band
of the pool, you'll never know any plans on in
the future, because I could see it really much. A
lot of artists are doing holiday songs for Christmas now.
Anything with Christmas music in the future, I would.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Love to It's one of those things. A couple of
years ago, I released two songs. My dad wanted me
to do two of his favorite songs, and then I
ended up pulling them off Spotify. I was like, I
don't know if people really cared or listen. I don't
even think I had like a thousand streams on them.
It was a long time ago, so I pulled him down.
But lately I've been thinking maybe it's time I bust
(20:43):
them out. You know, I do have a cover of
Justin Bieber's missilete I think it's still on there. So
check that out. But yeah, I did, Mary, did you know?
And man, there's another one you know. Moral of the story. Yes,
we have to do Smiths album.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I love that. I'm gonna go all the way to England. David,
appreciate you tuning in as all ways, he says, Hi,
Terryn watching from Cumbria. There in England. Play any instruments?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Sorry, that's great, that's a good question. Hi David, thanks
so much for hanging out with us. I do. I
play acoustic guitar and I play piano.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
So all right, there you go a couple of one
of those.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Things that I haven't really I can do a couple
with playing and singing, but I think for me to
sing my best, it's easier to have somebody else to
use those instruments to write my songs. I think when
it comes to live, I don't want to worry about
where everything's going.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
You know that too. I love the EP of Wake.
Let's go back and talk about this one too, because
this was twenty twenty three. I remember this was February.
About that time A change was on There can't catch
my heart of course the count of track itself, but
no one's gonna love you like I do. And I
believe that was with Zach Dyer, that particular one there
talk about just the body of work, the project, and
(21:58):
that first EP to get that out of the way,
but also put some great music on there for sure.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Yeah, like I said, that whole entire EP, I mean,
you must feel pretty good.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Bread.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I don't know that hole epe is about him outside
of Persuaded, So I mean, man, I don't know. If
I didn't know him, I don't think i'd have you know,
good songs. And I'm just kidding. So that whole body
of work really came from just meeting him and just
that experience. I think, you know. I always joked that
most people find their first love in high school, they go,
you know, breakups in college. I didn't have any of that.
(22:30):
I was so married to my music for a really
long time. I always felt like, you can't have I
couldn't have love and music at the same time. It's
got to be one or the other, and I always
chose music. So once I kind of let my guard
down to the possibility of having both things, I ended
up finding a beautiful person with a guitar, which worked
out well. So yeah, that whole body work kind of
(22:50):
came from that as my inspiration and having Zach Dyer.
He was actually recently engaged, and it was kind of
funny that I was like, I'm new in love, they're
new in love. Let's sing a love song together. So
it was really fun to have him on end. He's
an awesome artist. He's writing a lot of incredible things
for a lot of artists on the charts right now,
and I'm really happy to have him on that song
(23:12):
with me.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
It's a beautifully done song, no doubt about it too.

Yeah, we are going to head down to Florida, spend
time with our family here and uh, that's pretty much it.
Hopefully it's warm enough, but yeah, that's our plan for
the holidays this year. Nothing really exciting.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I thought, you know, we don't have a lot going on.
We're old and tired. No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
I feel that way sometimes. I've just in my forties now,
but I'm going man, old tired, but yeah, still trying
to spend.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
A box of wine from Costco and you know, watch
Harry Potter. That's my That's okay, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
The simple things in life, that's what it's all about.
I'm with you here because that's what my wife likes
to just taught her simple glass of wine, fall asleep
to it. Hell, we fall asleep to it too at
the same time.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Yeah, awesome, that's all I have planned. So hopefully hit
up Disney. Maybe we'll go to Harry Potter World when
we're here.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
You know, have you ever been?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I have, but it rained the entire time.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I didn't get to go on anything I went when
it first came out. I remember that year or two
when it first Wow down there for fak and we
love it. We loved it and wrote everything.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
It was okay, So there's maybe that's on the holidays.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
You're right in the movie.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
There you go. So if you're looking around Disney and Universal,
I'll be there.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I've been no stranger to to Nashville the previous few years.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
It was long time before the gap in there too,
before I actually got back to do a lot of
the events in my radio career. But looking back at uh,
you know CRS is a CMA week. Uh, it was
like there's a new restaurant on every corner everywhere you go. Now, yeah,
would you like to kind of hang out or you
and the husband to go even.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Eat and see Jason al Dean's has awesome food. Their
wings are great. Whatever rub they put on those things,
they actually sell it. You can buy it for your home.
Jason al Dean's got the wings. I haven't been in
Eric Churches bar yet, but I'm excited because I've heard
a lot of artists love playing their love going in there.
So that' stuff and only something old Red has great food,
(27:02):
you know. Blake Shelton, we like Whiskey Road, Dirks Bentley,
we like it all. Really. I started in Tootsies. I
was there for two years and I think, you know,
it's just the perfect size. It reminds me of like
a really cool celebrity artist's attic, and that is you
got to go there. It's pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Everyd I went, it was next door the bootstore right
next door before going there. It's the home with a
buy one pair, get two pair free. I think it's
boot you love that, which is pretty cool. They have
great deal. So I chanced while I was waiting on
a something out there too during seeing eight week. I
went over there and got the boots, but I was
waiting on something else to do an event at one
of the bars there too through one of our partners,
(27:43):
and then we talked to you throughout the podcast. Can't
remember the time of it right now, but I went
down there the barbecue sandwich, the little I know, right
next to Chiefs. I thought that was pretty good. Like
the window it's I looked inside Chiefs right there and
I just went, man, what a perfect place to hang out.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You know, now, if you can only take your Margarita's
in the road like Memphis, you know, you really be
on something there exactly right.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
If you take your margarita and drakes where you want
to go. I'll ask you this, if you've never become
a working musician, what was there a backup career? What
career would you be doing?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
M man, Let's see. I mean if you asked me
ten years ago, I probably would say something with kids.
But I was a behavior therapist at a elementary school
for a really long time. I worked with autistic children,
and I absolutely fell in love with it, and I
definitely think about that a lot. I do miss that,
(28:38):
But I would say now, I love marketing. I love
social media, so I think you know anything that involves
like digital platforms growing. But also, this is a very
deep answered question. I didn't know that I had a
lot to say about this, I think because my career,
when you finish singing, somebody collapse. Hopefully whatever I did,
(29:00):
it would have somebody would have to be like, good job,
he took a good job printing that paper. You did
a good like. I think I got to have that.
So I'm not sure now now that I think about that.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
It's okay. Like I said right there, it said, you know,
one of these same people ask me a radio but
I went to you too. We have something in common too,
because I am in the schools. I do love doing
what I do. I get to work with children out
there too, with autism and things like that. They become
my own kids. Very close to my heart too, and
you know, inside the disabilities let them just say, live
a normal life. That awesome, and they're just like you know,
(29:33):
any other child or teenager out there too. I love it,
and the fact is that it came close to my heart.
And for the last six years on my own doing
this type of radio show, and for the last almost
twenty eight years in radio myself, but also too, seventeen
of them have been spent in the public school sector.
So I've really enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah, that's so awesome. Yeah, so definitely, you know, something
like that, all encompassing. I love it. I spent time
hosting the WSMV Channel four Today in Nashville show. I
absolutely loved that. Maybe that's something so you know different. Yeah,
(30:12):
that's true.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
And I just actually finished. I thank the folks there too.
We had a great sixteen seventeen show run. It was
on wsm the Home of the Opera. You there too
for a good three months, four months there too, And
I love them.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
That's so good.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
It's great. They're great people out there too. And I
love Bargie, you love Jason, love Eric. And it's just
been a great, great another just check that box and
you can add it to your resume here on the show,
which has been great. And uh, you know, I love
the music. This is fantastic so much. Sarah, You're the
inspiration is the current single? All right, the million dollar question.
Here we go, the Tearing Papa. Favorite toppings on pizza
(30:44):
and favorite flavor of ice cream?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Oh, favorite flavor of ice cream is mint chocolate chip. Sure,
for sure. Favorite pizza topping it depends because like I
do like pepperoni, but it's sometimes it's too spicy, Like
I don't I don't like a lot of spicy, like
altoids are spicy for me, like toothpaste is spicy. So
it depends on the place for the pepperoni. But I
(31:08):
would say like a meat lover or just I'm like
a plain cheese girl too, like to taste the Italian sauce.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Something simple with the plain cheese actually makes it. Makes it. Yeah,
you know, love well, I love this beaus to get
out there. You're the inspiration the current single more great
stuff coming up here in twenty twenty five with a
new EP coming out to at the same time, and
so glad we got to put this together. Appreciate you

Speaker 2 (00:10):

Speaker 1 (00:20):
I'm doing well. Thank you so much for having me.
I'm so excited about this project. It started at the
top of the year and finally to put it out there.
It's really awesome. So excited to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well, so are you. And happy holidays to you and
your husband. And I love the Christmas tree in the background.
I'm putting mine up this weekend a little bit and
not say late to the party, but hey, it's going
to be nice to put that up to My daughter
wants like all the decorations now, so daddy's gonna have
to work overtime before it gets toation out to Arizona.
But hey, anyway, happy holidays to you guys, and hey,
let's talk about this. I loved it when you put
(00:52):
it together. It had just everything from like almost an anthem.
It just really made me go on a roll, a
roller coaster ride for a while, and I felt something
because we all go through different facets of life. And
I think everybody that has not heard this song, they'll
be hearing the song on my radio calls in the
next few weeks. Is we're gonna play it on KKTC
True Country. But talk about just a little backstory of
(01:13):
this one, how it came together, the writing, and of
course you know, working with Jason on this project, and this.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Was such an incredible song. You're the Inspiration featuring Jason
Jason Chef. That is a tom Twister featuring Jason Chef.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
He is a longtime lead singer of the band Chicago.
This song was an original David Foster Peter Setera project,
and as the longtime lead singer of the band, it
was just you had to have him. I had to
have him on there. I met him a few years
ago back in Nashville. I was on a TV show
called American Supergroup something like that. It's so long ago,
(01:53):
and he was one of the judges for the show.
So I kind of got to meet him then and
I'm sorry, cat is screwing.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Sosier?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, a long time. I met him a long time ago,
and he was somebody that I idolized. I loved his
contribution to Chicago, and I knew I had always wanted
to do this song. This was a song and group
listening to with my dad and he would sing in
the car. And when I had the opportunity, I shot
him an email in January and he responded, I did
(02:28):
not expect that. So that's kind of how it happened.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Did you kind of know from the young age that
basically you know you were going to be, you know,
doing this for a living when it came to like
just taking everything and that connection to music, talk to
me about that and just kind of when that light
bulb came on, like you know what, I'm taking this
all the way. I'm going to cash in all my chips,
take house money, whatever, and I'm going to become a musician.
Tell me when that finally just like he question.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, so in high school, you know you get the solo.
I got a solo. I had got to sing a
national anthem at a boys basketball game. I was very
nervous and my uncle had a band called No Excuses,
and he just played with a bunch of his buddies.
He was a police officer. They were all like cops.
They were originally called House Arrest, which is hilarious, but
(03:14):
long story short. I joined his band and got the
confidence that I needed. And once I felt like I
graduated and was ready to graduate from Connecticut, I moved
to Nashville and it took maybe a year year and
a half before I really was like, Okay, I can
do this and I can do this on my own.
I don't need to cofront with anybody. I want to
start my own band and take it and run. So
(03:37):
I would say yeah. About twelve thirteen years ago was
when that all started and I felt like I had
what it takes. I had a good understanding of the industry,
how songwriting works, the business side of it, and I
had the vocal side of it. So once I felt
that all connected, I knew that was the way to
take it all the way.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Let's talk about this hot show. It's what season twenty
six now, I cannot believe it's been twenty six seasons
of this show called The Voice on NBC. And again,
so many great coaches come and go I love this
because the fact is this is one of the best
shows when it comes to not to knock the rest
of the competition, but man, I think this is really why.
It's not for the money. Of course, I know they
get paid there too, But when you look at this
season right here, and of course the season you were on,
(04:20):
these coaches want to bring the best out of these artists.
Otherwise they wouldn't take the job and sit in those
red chairs and just develop and shoot a TV show
and just kind of sit out there and push buttons
and make jokes. They really want to help these artists achieve. You, guys,
in your dreams, talk about your experience on the show,
the coaches you had, the mentors, things like that, things
you learn to prep you for the business when you
got off of that show, because they were like real work. Again,
(04:43):
when you get off a platform like.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
That, it does. Yeah, the voice. Man, I auditioned for
that show, I want to say nine or ten times. Yeah,
I remember when it came out. I drove all the
way to New Jersey living in Connecticut, and I auditioned
like four or five times. I honestly feel like season
nineteen was twenty twenty. That was when I was on
the show. It came at a perfect time, because of
(05:05):
course I wanted to be on it the day it
was created, but I don't think I was ready for
it until I actually was on the show. There was
so much that I feel like I like I said,
I had to learn the business side. I had to
learn a lot about the industry, and I think that
really played to my advantage because I knew enough to
know how to make a song my own. I knew
enough to say, Okay, this is in my vocal range,
(05:27):
this is the key that I needed in, this is
my melody, idea on how to make it different. I
think that all those years on Broadway and singing four
or five nights a week, that really gave me the
tools that I needed to make it to top ten,
top seventeen. I'm not even sure at this point, but
the coaches were awesome, the band was outstanding, the house
(05:51):
band that they put you with, the music director Paul
was incredible, and it was a really awesome experience.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You've had a lot of great songs. They really have
found you or you found them either way. But I'll
go back a little bit too. Last year one called
gold Mine. Tell us all about that one.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, we're actually going to perform that for you today.
Gold Mine is actually the first song that I have
recorded that I did not write, but I felt like
the song really resonated with the brand of music and
the sound and the lyrics that I like in a song.
A lot of my music is inspirational, it's about love,
(06:26):
it's written about my husband. It's just all feel good music.
So when I heard gold Mine, I was like, man,
I have to cut this song. It had a lot
of like I almost want to say, bluesy Melissa Ethridge, ty,
black velvety vibes to it, which I love outside of
the country genre. So for me, it felt like a
(06:46):
really good mesh of country pop, country rock, country soul.
It had everything that I love in other genres as well,
So that was a really fun song to cut.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I love it too, And it's just like you said
the inspiration out There title of the latest single from
it and Papa out there, You're the inspiration. Here on
the Backstage Past, powered by the Sports Guys podcast dot

And back you were tearing Papa on the backstage Pass again.
KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine out there too,
Just Heart to perform one of her singles, gold Mine
out there too. Let's talk about this one because I
know Mercy had come out too just a while back
in twenty twenty two. Let's talk about this one too,
because I loved it. The same year you'd put out
another great one one of my favorites, Persuaded. Let's start
(11:21):
with Mercy and get a little backstory on network.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, Mercy's awesome. I actually had that song as a
YouTube cover Josh Gallagher and I did together as a duet.
He actually had just hopped off the voice. Adam Levine
was his coach. He got bumped around a bit and
we had performed together. I was the I believe I
was one of the first artists he ever played with
in Nashville, and he came up to me on stage
(11:44):
and was like, Hey, I want to sing a song.
I'm a singer. I'm like, yeah, okay, so is everybody
in Nashville. And I just fell in love with his voice.
So we wanted to do that song together on YouTube.
And then when my manager heard it, she was like,
why isn't this a single? So we ended up releasing that.
Seawanman this song, and I think it's just a really
fun It was a really fun cover for us. The
(12:05):
lyrics felt very country, so we thought why not. So
that was a fun one for us.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
And then kind of shifted gears to Persuaded, which came
out just shortly after that one too. At the same time,
another just one of those songs, it really just touches
the heart.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Thank you so much. Yeah, Persuaded was the first song
I ever wrote when I moved to Nashville. I was
here maybe about a year and a half before I
wrote it and I put it out and we had
different production on it. It was very, very pop lending with
like an EDM breakdown. It was definitely not Nashville ready,
(12:39):
which maybe right now, if I released that old version
it might work actually, but we redid it and made
it a little bit more pop country and a little
bit more in the vein of awake and changed. And
it's one of my favorite songs. And like I said,
it's the first one I ever wrote. So it's my
baby for sure.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
When you look at the direction now of the way
the female artists are really taking country music by storm,
let's talk about this. I mean, Laney's been on fire
for the past a few years. Mean I got her
before she got big here on this very channel here
back in December of twenty twenty, and I told her
here on the show Very Show, I said, you're gonna
blow up. She goes, I'll stop.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
No, you got to add that for me because maybe
that's some good vibes.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
You know what I'll tell you right now, Terry Papa
could blow up here in the next two or three years.
Watch out, thank you.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
We love that.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
No.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I met Lane a few times. She's an awesome person.
She's really crushing it. I would definitely say she's paving
the way for female artists. A lot of females have
been paving the way for years, and her success is awesome.
I love the single that she came out with because
I felt like her you know, debut single was a
(13:54):
slow song. It was a love song, Things a man
ought to Know. I was like, man, this is good
because it lets you know, you don't have to have
this huge booming voice or a huge pop heavy track
lending anything. It was just real country music. And that's
why I got started in this industry. I fell in
love with Martina faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, Leanne Rimes, all
(14:15):
those artists that just sing true, genuine, authentic country music.
And so I felt like she's an awesome artist for
sure to admire. I love her lyrical stories, and you know,
one can only hope for the same, right, So I
think she's making a good way for us. Females.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I love it too, and of Core's so many other females,
Hannah Ellis and Ashley Cook and Charlie Pearce, Ashley McBride.
It is just going there on fire Casey Tindall. I mean,
there's so many Ella Langley names go on and on,
and that's just a beautiful thing for me because I
grew up being a nineties country and female. For all
the artists and for all the people that I've spoken
to her on the program, it's just been a whirlwind
(14:55):
for us and just seeing the growth, but also to
never forgetting the roots, tearing of like where you come
from and of course listening to those type of songs
when you grew up.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Oh for sure. Hannah Ellis lived in my old apartment complex.
Ashley McBride and I we used to write together. I
know a lot of all these girls you're listening, I'm like,
oh good. You know, if it's not you, hopefully someone
you know right that's making their way to success. So
absolutely nineties country. I love a lot of the guys
(15:24):
right now to Zach Top and a lot of a
lot of that nineties is coming back, thank you so much.
So I'm planning on a new EP hopefully soon. That
kind of goes back to those roots of why I
fell in love with country music and listening to those
big ballady type artists with really good, feel good stories.
So on the horizon, it's going to be a little
(15:46):
EP soon, so stay tuned everybody.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Looking forward to that too. I also go back to
the debut single, the one, that first one he released.
This was March twenty twenty two, Changed. I wanted to
I want to get into this one, and definitely I'm
always interested because I love you so much where songs
come from and the inspiration behind them. But Changed was
such a beautifully well done song.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Thank you so much. We are going to play that
for you today. See you're picking out the ones that
I've already was feeling as my vibe for the day,
so we know you got good taste. Actually, when I
met my husband here, this is Brett on the guitar,
and I met him a couple of years ago in Nashville.
Change was the first song that I wrote about him,
and it's just like a poppy, feel good song about
(16:33):
just you know. Of course you go on dates, of
course you meet people, but I never felt like my
world had flipped upside down. I never felt like, oh wow,
has that always been like that? Is that how that
feels to hold a hand or so. A lot of
the lyrics and the verses are things that happened for us,
like him walking me home, us being in an uber.
All this stuff was kind of our journey for the
(16:55):
first few dates that we had together, and so that's
how change was born.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
So well, you know what perfect segue right here too,
the backstage, Bastarry Papa, it's changed here it is take
it away, thank you.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Yeah, I didn't know I couldn't miss somebody in the
next room.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I never thought I feel this, and if I didn't,
wouldn't be this soon.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
I was scared to love a heart that wasn't mine.
Too fine, one of us was gonna get burned. The
only thing I'm thinking about is making you mind. I
ain't afraid of get hurt. I guess sound check it andang.
I never found this way, and I don't think I
never beat the same angle.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
Just the sound of your name is got me creepy
on touch, never getting off.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
I never been the kind of stay gains some check
and sound check.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
How do we roll my eyes?
Speaker 5 (18:09):
And comes kissing in the corner booth and now I
finally see you are can't keep my hands off you.
You're holding me tight in the back of the capoking
down on the street of lights.
Speaker 1 (18:23):

I want to for some of my podcasts.
Speaker 5 (18:29):

Speaker 5 (19:35):

Speaker 4 (19:38):

Speaker 2 (19:44):
I love it. See you call up with the music
again over and over again, just repeat that was a
little see you in the car. I love it so much.
Keeps streaming Highway driving, no doubt, and that's just being
a radio guide listens to tons of music through weeks too.
Just fantastic too. And I want to ask you about
this because the holidays are coming up and I don't
(20:05):
know if this is something you can actually publicly speak on,
but you never know, you might as well ask a
question here. If you don't jump in the deep band
of the pool, you'll never know any plans on in
the future, because I could see it really much. A
lot of artists are doing holiday songs for Christmas now.
Anything with Christmas music in the future, I would.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Love to It's one of those things. A couple of
years ago, I released two songs. My dad wanted me
to do two of his favorite songs, and then I
ended up pulling them off Spotify. I was like, I
don't know if people really cared or listen. I don't
even think I had like a thousand streams on them.
It was a long time ago, so I pulled him down.
But lately I've been thinking maybe it's time I bust
(20:43):
them out. You know, I do have a cover of
Justin Bieber's missilete I think it's still on there. So
check that out. But yeah, I did, Mary, did you know?
And man, there's another one you know. Moral of the story. Yes,
we have to do Smiths album.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I love that. I'm gonna go all the way to England. David,
appreciate you tuning in as all ways, he says, Hi,
Terryn watching from Cumbria. There in England. Play any instruments?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Sorry, that's great, that's a good question. Hi David, thanks
so much for hanging out with us. I do. I
play acoustic guitar and I play piano.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
So all right, there you go a couple of one
of those.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Things that I haven't really I can do a couple
with playing and singing, but I think for me to
sing my best, it's easier to have somebody else to
use those instruments to write my songs. I think when
it comes to live, I don't want to worry about
where everything's going.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
You know that too. I love the EP of Wake.
Let's go back and talk about this one too, because
this was twenty twenty three. I remember this was February.
About that time A change was on There can't catch
my heart of course the count of track itself, but
no one's gonna love you like I do. And I
believe that was with Zach Dyer, that particular one there
talk about just the body of work, the project, and
(21:58):
that first EP to get that out of the way,
but also put some great music on there for sure.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Yeah, like I said, that whole entire EP, I mean,
you must feel pretty good.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Bread.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I don't know that hole epe is about him outside
of Persuaded, So I mean, man, I don't know. If
I didn't know him, I don't think i'd have you know,
good songs. And I'm just kidding. So that whole body
of work really came from just meeting him and just
that experience. I think, you know. I always joked that
most people find their first love in high school, they go,
you know, breakups in college. I didn't have any of that.
(22:30):
I was so married to my music for a really
long time. I always felt like, you can't have I
couldn't have love and music at the same time. It's
got to be one or the other, and I always
chose music. So once I kind of let my guard
down to the possibility of having both things, I ended
up finding a beautiful person with a guitar, which worked
out well. So yeah, that whole body work kind of
(22:50):
came from that as my inspiration and having Zach Dyer.
He was actually recently engaged, and it was kind of
funny that I was like, I'm new in love, they're
new in love. Let's sing a love song together. So
it was really fun to have him on end. He's
an awesome artist. He's writing a lot of incredible things
for a lot of artists on the charts right now,
and I'm really happy to have him on that song
(23:12):
with me.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
It's a beautifully done song, no doubt about it too.
And all these songs available digital streaming platforms out there
for DSPs, and of course more music around the corner
coming up there in twenty twenty five, we're going to
take a final time out here on the Backstage Pass,

Speaker 4 (25:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I thought, you know, we don't have a lot going on.
We're old and tired. No, I'm just kidding.

I feel that way sometimes. I've just in my forties now,
but I'm going man, old tired, but yeah, still trying

Speaker 1 (25:33):
A box of wine from Costco and you know, watch
Harry Potter. That's my That's okay, you know.

up Disney. Maybe we'll go to Harry Potter World when
we're here.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
You know, have you ever been?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I have, but it rained the entire time.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I didn't get to go on anything I went when
it first came out. I remember that year or two
when it first Wow down there for fak and we
love it. We loved it and wrote everything.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
It was okay, So there's maybe that's on the holidays.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
You're right in the movie.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
There you go. So if you're looking around Disney and Universal,
I'll be there.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I've been no stranger to to Nashville the previous few years.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
It was long time before the gap in there too,
before I actually got back to do a lot of
the events in my radio career. But looking back at uh,
you know CRS is a CMA week. Uh, it was
like there's a new restaurant on every corner everywhere you go. Now, yeah,
would you like to kind of hang out or you
and the husband to go even.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Eat and see Jason al Dean's has awesome food. Their
wings are great. Whatever rub they put on those things,
they actually sell it. You can buy it for your home.
Jason al Dean's got the wings. I haven't been in
Eric Churches bar yet, but I'm excited because I've heard
a lot of artists love playing their love going in there.
So that' stuff and only something old Red has great food,
(27:02):
you know. Blake Shelton, we like Whiskey Road, Dirks Bentley,
we like it all. Really. I started in Tootsies. I
was there for two years and I think, you know,
it's just the perfect size. It reminds me of like
a really cool celebrity artist's attic, and that is you
got to go there. It's pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Everyd I went, it was next door the bootstore right
next door before going there. It's the home with a
buy one pair, get two pair free. I think it's
boot you love that, which is pretty cool. They have
great deal. So I chanced while I was waiting on
a something out there too during seeing eight week. I
went over there and got the boots, but I was
waiting on something else to do an event at one
of the bars there too through one of our partners,
(27:43):
and then we talked to you throughout the podcast. Can't
remember the time of it right now, but I went
down there the barbecue sandwich, the little I know, right
next to Chiefs. I thought that was pretty good. Like
the window it's I looked inside Chiefs right there and
I just went, man, what a perfect place to hang out.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You know, now, if you can only take your Margarita's
in the road like Memphis, you know, you really be
on something there exactly right.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
If you take your margarita and drakes where you want
to go. I'll ask you this, if you've never become
a working musician, what was there a backup career? What
career would you be doing?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
M man, Let's see. I mean if you asked me
ten years ago, I probably would say something with kids.
But I was a behavior therapist at a elementary school
for a really long time. I worked with autistic children,
and I absolutely fell in love with it, and I
definitely think about that a lot. I do miss that,
(28:38):
But I would say now, I love marketing. I love
social media, so I think you know anything that involves
like digital platforms growing. But also, this is a very
deep answered question. I didn't know that I had a
lot to say about this, I think because my career,
when you finish singing, somebody collapse. Hopefully whatever I did,
(29:00):
it would have somebody would have to be like, good job,
he took a good job printing that paper. You did
a good like. I think I got to have that.
So I'm not sure now now that I think about that.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
It's okay. Like I said right there, it said, you know,
one of these same people ask me a radio but
I went to you too. We have something in common too,
because I am in the schools. I do love doing
what I do. I get to work with children out
there too, with autism and things like that. They become
my own kids. Very close to my heart too, and
you know, inside the disabilities let them just say, live
a normal life. That awesome, and they're just like you know,
(29:33):
any other child or teenager out there too. I love it,
and the fact is that it came close to my heart.
And for the last six years on my own doing
this type of radio show, and for the last almost
twenty eight years in radio myself, but also too, seventeen
of them have been spent in the public school sector.
So I've really enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah, that's so awesome. Yeah, so definitely, you know, something
like that, all encompassing. I love it. I spent time
hosting the WSMV Channel four Today in Nashville show. I
absolutely loved that. Maybe that's something so you know different. Yeah,
(30:12):
that's true.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
And I just actually finished. I thank the folks there too.
We had a great sixteen seventeen show run. It was
on wsm the Home of the Opera. You there too
for a good three months, four months there too, And
I love them.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
That's so good.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
It's great. They're great people out there too. And I
love Bargie, you love Jason, love Eric. And it's just
been a great, great another just check that box and
you can add it to your resume here on the show,
which has been great. And uh, you know, I love
the music. This is fantastic so much. Sarah, You're the
inspiration is the current single? All right, the million dollar question.
Here we go, the Tearing Papa. Favorite toppings on pizza
(30:44):
and favorite flavor of ice cream?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Oh, favorite flavor of ice cream is mint chocolate chip. Sure,
for sure. Favorite pizza topping it depends because like I
do like pepperoni, but it's sometimes it's too spicy, Like
I don't I don't like a lot of spicy, like
altoids are spicy for me, like toothpaste is spicy. So
it depends on the place for the pepperoni. But I
(31:08):
would say like a meat lover or just I'm like
a plain cheese girl too, like to taste the Italian sauce.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Something simple with the plain cheese actually makes it. Makes it. Yeah,
you know, love well, I love this beaus to get
out there. You're the inspiration the current single more great
stuff coming up here in twenty twenty five with a
new EP coming out to at the same time, and
so glad we got to put this together. Appreciate you
being with us and my friend can't wait to meet
you in person there in Nashville, Tennessee, whether it be
