Question: What’s it like performing cowgirls live?
ERNEST: “It’s super fun. It’s so different than performing flower shops live, which is also a special moment. But cowgirls, I get to set the guitar down and move around and, it’s really fun. The crowd seems to enjoy it too.”

Question: How are the kids?
Larry Fleet: “Well, my kids are good. They got Stella. She’s, about to be three and Whalen will be five in August and they’re awesome. They’ve been we’ve been fortunate enough that, you know, as this thing has grown, we we now have our own bus. And so, for years, you know, I had to leave them and stay going all the time. And it was tough, you know, for when they’re real little, they don’t really understand. And they just looking, you know, to hang out and and eat food, you know. And so mama would always take care of them, you know. And then now when I leave, it’s harder and they want to know where I’m going and what I’m doing, and they love being a part of it. And so, like I said, we’ve been fortunate enough that now I got, you know, two busses going on the road and one of them is me and my family. And so I get to spend a lot more time with them. And, and they get to see what, what their daddy does. And they have fun. They love everybody in the band. And Waylon comes out on the stage a lot and does his thing is he’s a superstar. And, Stella usually sleeps during my show. So, you know, it’s something for everybody, I guess. But they’re doing good, and and there are a lot of fun and fun ages right now, so.”

Question: Tell me about writing “cowgirls”
ERNEST: “The idea for the song Cowgirls came from Beth Dutton. The episode where she decides to get back on the horse and start riding again. And for whatever reason, that night I was just like, that’s badass. And then the next day, we brought in the idea of long live cowgirls, because I thought to myself, long live cowgirls when she was just riding a wild horse again.”

Question: Tell me about the vibe of writing “your place”
Ashley Cooke: “Yeah, it was super easy to write that day. I actually had the idea of your place and the kind of flip on the hook of it at your place, like your apartment, your house to kind of, you know, wrap into it as a songwriter, loving those double meanings. And so I brought that into the room with Mark and Jordan, and it just honestly was such an easy song to write. It flowed super well. We were playing with, Mark’s goldendoodle the whole time. Just it was a really easy song to write, and that’s a good sign of a good song. So.”
