All right, episode 174, Carly Pierce. So good to have you. Thank you.

What's going on? You're in Nashville dealing with all the COVID stuff still going out.

You're not able to play live shows.

Have you played any live shows?

Are you thinking about playing any of the different type of life show that's going on now with the social

distancing and all that stuff going on?

So I played a show in Nashville, like a writers round. I did do that, which was super fun. And then actually this past weekend, the Green

Alacry is celebrating their 95th birthday this this month. So they had 500

people in there for the show on Saturday and even that just felt so I mean it was seriously this moment where I was like oh my God there's people like I'm singing in front of people it was kind of odd

So I'm not against the drive-in shows. I think for me I feel like I've talked to enough artists friends that we're all like we don't want to be the ones that like somebody contracts COVID at the show so we're like that to like Brad Paisley and Shelton

because they're big enough to be able to do those.

But I mean, if we're still doing this next year,

then I'm gonna do it.

Well, it's that you don't want to be the next Chase Rice or Chris Janssen that gets a run through the ringer.

I was going to say it, but all of us are like, don't be Chase Rice.

It's a weird one where it's like... or like, don't beat Chase Rice?

It's a weird one where it's like, even like the precautions

get put in place, we talk to like a lot of artists.

And I have one common alley I've seen between everybody we talk to is they all agree every artist.

You can only control so much once if there's any open area in front of a stage.

People just...

Once the lights come on, it's like people kind of just tend to crowd to the front.
