From humble beginnings recording in her mom's bathtub to signing with Warner Music Nashville, Avery's journey is anything but typical. But it's her vulnerability that sets her apart. Inspired by fan-written “Let Go Letters” — anonymous notes sharing raw experiences of trauma, self-doubt, body image struggles, and more — Avery turned these confessions into her sophomore album, Let Go Letters (out May 16). In this heartfelt conversation, she shares how music became her therapy, how she balances the pressures of social media, and why songs like “Danny Don't,” “Grave,” and “Self-Esteem for Sale” might just save a life.How Can We Transform Pain into Purpose Through Music?Avery reveals how fans' anonymous letters inspired her to write songs that create community, healing, and understanding — proving we are never truly alone in what we're going through.(00:01:00) From TikTok to the Grand Ole Opry — Avery's Unexpected BreakthroughPandemic boredom led Avery to post singing videos on TikTok — one went viral, launching her career.Discovered by band Parmalee and signed to Warner Music Nashville within months.Talks about imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and how faith and family keep her grounded.How her upbringing in a close-knit, faith-based family in Flagstaff, Arizona shaped her values.(00:04:50) The Birth of Let Go Letters: Turning Fans' Pain Into Powerful MusicAvery began collecting anonymous fan letters at her shows, sparking the concept for Let Go Letters.Writing songs like “Danny Don't” based on a letter from a fan contemplating suicide.The emotional toll and responsibility of holding space for her fans' deepest traumas.How her music offers a safe space for healing — not just for fans, but for herself too.(00:09:30) Writing About the Unspoken: Body Image, Sexual Trauma, and Self-WorthSongs like “Vanilla” and “Grave” tackle sexual trauma with raw honesty.“Self-Esteem for Sale” reflects the pressure of being a product on social media.Avery shares how she protects her mental health by setting boundaries with technology.The importance of reminding herself that her worth comes from who she is, not what she posts.(00:20:00) Pre-Show Rituals, Tour Life, and the Realities Behind the GlamTouring isn't all glitz: van life, flat tires, and DIY road trips with her band.Her quirky pre-show routine: honey shots, prayer circles, and unplugging from social media.Why “Vanilla” is her favorite song to perform — a moment of collective healing on stage.00:28:00) Songs That Heal: The Butterfly Project, My Mother Lies, and MoreInspired by a letter about self-harm, “The Butterfly Project” reminds listeners their pain impacts those who love them.“My Mother Lies” explores how negative self-talk is passed down through generations.Avery's hope is that these songs help fans find their voice, their healing, and their community.This episode was Filmed at the Thompson Nashville.

We had the boys from Parmalee on the show this morning and they told us about the #1 song that they passed on. Launa still holds on to the conspiracy theory that Megan Moroney and Kenny Chesney are dating. But now there is a new story about Megan talking about another man.
Parmalee’s resilience is one of the most inspiring aspects of their journey. From the early days of playing music as kids with their dad to becoming one of country music’s most successful bands, they’ve faced countless challenges—but they never gave up. They’ve had their fair share of struggles, whether it’s overcoming internal band conflicts, navigating the pressures of the music industry, or literally surviving a robbery and gunshot, they always always push forward together. Parmalee’s story is a testament to their unwavering determination and the power of brotherhood, and it’s that resilience and conviction that has helped them connect with fans all over the world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Delete most of those damn tracks before you mix! Billy talked about narrowing the drum and guitar mics down to the essentials for mixing, his vocal chain, bass eq roll-off, designing the perfect mixing chain plugins, and how mixing mono can help you. Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Billy Decker aka The Deckerator is an award winning Nashville mixing engineer known for his efficient and effective mixing method. He's mixed 16 Billboard #1”s to date such as Dustin Lynch's “Riding Roads” and notable artists as Sam Hunt, Chris Young, Rodney Atkins, Parmalee, Colt Ford, and the metal band Starset to name just a few. He also mixed George Jones's last album before he passed. Billy Decker made history in July of 2014 when Sam Hunt became the most added new artist of all time. Decker works in a unique way. “I mix really fast. Most of my mixes are finished within an hour. To be able to do this, I use a lot of templates in pro tools. Instead of spending two hours EQing a kick drum I can do it in thirty seconds, because I have set up templates for the album that outline all the basic parameters for each instrument. I can then work on fine tuning - working on the entire mix, rather than focusing on individual adjustments. It's a good way to work. It's fast efficient and most importantly it's fun." He has been on the show recently for episode RSR281 and is also now a published author for his book “Template Mixing and Mastering: The Ultimate Guide to Achieving a Professional Sound” and has created a series of mixing plugins called the Bus Glue Billy Decker Bundle over at Joey Sturgis Tones.
