Hey everyone, it's Sid Evans, editor-in-chief of Southern Living and host of Biscuits and Jam.

We're excited to share new interviews with you soon, but in the meantime, here's a past episode with

Country Star Carly Pierce, when we caught her on her tour bus. Carly won a CMA and an ACM award in

2022 and hosted the CMA Country Christmas, and we're excited to see what she's up to in 2023.

Hope y'all enjoy it.

I think in a lot of ways I'm still that girl that believes that she was put on this earth to make music.

I think that's the one thing that hasn't changed is I truly believe God intended for this to be my life.

I'm Sid Evans, editor-in-chief of Southern Living Magazine.

My guest this week is country music superstar and Kentucky native Carly Pierce.

Carly began performing at a young age in church, and in high school, she left her hometown of

Taylor Mill for a job singing five shows a day at Dollywood.

She eventually moved to Nashville, and although her initial experience in the Music City wasn't easy,

she met a producer who would change her life.

Today on the show, Carly talks about the unwavering support of her family,

the devastating loss of her producer Busby, her induction into the Grand Ole Opry, and much, much more.

Well, Carly Pierce, welcome to Biscuits and Jam.

Thank you.

Where am I catching you?

I am in Jacksonville, Florida for a show tonight.

Oh, that's exciting. Well, Carly, you've had an incredible

year. I mean, you've won all sorts of awards. You just finished the leg of a big tour. You must

either be floating on air or totally exhausted. Probably a mixture of both, but I will take this kind of exhaustion for sure,
