| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Biscuits and Jam from Southern Living. I'm your host, Sid Evans, and today I'm talking with three sisters who started sharing their music on Instagram just a couple of years ago, and now they seem to be everywhere. |
| 0:15.8 | Eleanor, Lily, and Powell Balkam are better known as the Castellos, and their new found success has led them to a |
| 0:22.5 | fast-moving career in Nashville and the recent release of a new EP called A Little Goes a Long Way. |
| 0:28.6 | With beautiful harmonies and lyrics about a simpler way of life, many of the songs pay tribute |
| 0:33.4 | to the sisters' roots in rural Georgia, where they grew up spending weekends on the lake |
| 0:38.0 | and singing hymns at a small country church. |
| 0:40.9 | We'll talk about how their music career is helping to carry on a family name, their love |
| 0:45.3 | of Georgia football, and their grandmother's cooking on, welcome to Biscuits and Jam. |
| 1:05.2 | Thank you for having us. |
| 1:06.4 | Happy to be here. |
| 1:07.4 | All right. |
| 1:07.7 | So listen, just to get the voices straight, I want to start with a question. Eleanor, I'll start with you. If you could walk into any restaurant in the world right now, where would you go and what would you order? Oh, gosh. That's really hard. Honestly, there's this sushi place that Powell and I go to probably once a week in Nashville since we've moved. |
| 1:27.7 | It's called Peters, and it's more so my comfort food. |
| 1:47.7 | And Lily goes a lot with us, too. But I just go in there and get some sushi. It's like mid-grade sushi, but it hits the spot for some reason. Perfect. All right, Lily, what about you? Since I'm so hungry, I think I drive like half a mile down the road and go to Cracker Barrel and get a big old pancake and some bacon. |
| 2:01.9 | Maybe right after this is done. Maybe right after. And Powell, what about you? That is a good question. I think, I don't know, probably Waffle House right now. I'm a big breakfast person, so. They're really deep answers. Yeah, we're doing an early morning session while everybody's hungry. |
| 2:07.2 | Well, this is great. So, y'all grew up in Georgetown, Georgia, right? |
| 2:11.9 | Yes, sir. |
| 2:12.7 | So that's a lake town, basically. It's right on the Alabama, Georgia line. Did you all spend a lot of time |
| 2:19.6 | on the water growing up? That's about the only thing you can do in Georgetown is go on the water. |
| 2:26.0 | And so, yeah, we have a little boat that our family kind of shares. And so we grew up water skiing |
| 2:31.8 | and stuff. It was a lot of fun. Our mom was a big skier growing up. And so all of our brothers loved a tube. And she was like, we're not getting a tube till every one of y'all learns how to water ski and slalom ski. So we were all made to learn. So is that every weekend was pretty much when it was warm, people were out on the lake? When the weather was good, everyone was out on the lake. If you had a boat and if not, you knew somebody with a boat. Yeah. Apparently, the alligator population has gone up on Lake Yufala. That makes it a little dicey. Yeah, it's a little dicey now, I think. They're good swimming buddies. They leave us alone. That's right. |
| 3:09.1 | Well, and I doubt they can catch up with a water skier. So tell me a little bit about your hometown. |
