Label: Mule Kick Records

In Their Words: “This tune was actually inspired by a person in our life who had nothing but poor suggestions to offer us and it’s a discussion as to whether the fallout is worth it. But it morphed into a celebration of our own bad ideas, which are decidedly more fun. Except our latest bad idea, which was to make our own Laverne & Shirley-esque sitcom for the music video collaboration with East Nashville filmmaker Scot Sax.” — Alice Wallace, Side Pony

“Yeah, that’s one song I’m glad we got out of idea land and into tangible form. Getting those impulses down on paper and embedded in an Alt-C rock stomp can be better than embedding them into your personal life. If you can’t beat your bad ideas, join ’em!” — Caitlin Cannon, Side Pony

LISTEN: Alice Wallace, “The Blue”

Artist: Alice Wallace
Hometown: Los Angeles, California
Song: “The Blue”
Album: Into the Blue
Release Date: January 18, 2019
Label: Rebelle Road Records

In Her Words: “I wrote this song on New Year’s Eve when I was reflecting on the journey I’ve had in becoming a full-time touring musician. California is a place full of people chasing their dreams; even though there are many highs and lows about life on the road, I wouldn’t have it any other way. The great, wide ocean of opportunity is waiting to be explored, but you have to be willing to ‘sail away into the blue’ to experience it. This song has come to mean even more to me because the harmonies at the end are sung by my brother, mother and father. These are the voices I’ve been singing with my entire life, and my family has been behind me from the very start in making my dreams a reality.” — Alice Wallace
