00:00Well, we just told you Jackson Dean will be there.
00:02That was our first Q.I.K. guitar pole artist.
00:04Now it's time for number two.
00:06This is a woman who is very talented.
00:09You may have seen her on social media.
00:12Taylor Swift saw her on the side of the road just walking down there,
00:14and she said, you're wearing my T-shirt.
00:16You look awesome.
00:18But she's on the phone.
00:19Q.I.K. guitar pole artist, please reveal yourself.
00:22What's up, y'all?
00:23It's Priscilla Block.
00:24Don't come walking in like you own it, you own it.
00:30I hate to break it to you.
00:32You don't, yeah, you don't.
00:35You think you're such a star, but here's the funny part.
00:40No one even knows who you are.
00:44This is my bar.
00:47Priscilla!
00:48Priscilla Block, our second Q.I.K. guitar player.
00:55Pole artist.
00:55So let's go to that story about Taylor Swift.
00:57I know you've told it before, actually, on this show,
00:59but you're having a down time.
01:01You're kind of like, oh, man, what am I going to do here in Nashville?
01:04And then you're wearing a Taylor Swift shirt,
01:06and you get a little bit inspired by what?
01:08So I'm leaving work.
01:10I'm, like, about to throw in the towel, go home,
01:12and I happened to be wearing a Taylor Swift T-shirt that day.
01:16And she was driving by, and she saw me
01:19and pulled her car over to the side of the road
01:21and, like, jumped across her middle console
01:24into her passenger seat and was like,
01:25hey, I love your shirt.
01:27And you're like, oh, my gosh.
01:30Yeah, it was very weird.
01:31I was like, man, like, maybe I should stay.
01:33This doesn't happen all the time.
01:35Did she give you a chance to respond,
01:36or was it, like, one of those things, like, hey,
01:38and then just bailed out on you?
01:39No, well, I looked like a deer in headlights.
01:41Like, she was the one, she was like,
01:42you can come over here.
01:43I was like, oh, okay.
01:44Am I allowed to approach the vehicle?
01:48Yes, exactly.
01:49But, no, it was really awesome.
01:50I mean, it was, like, everything that I was needing that day
01:53to just keep going and not go home.
01:57Well, since then, now you've released a bunch of songs,
02:00and you've got a new single out that we are playing here
02:01on QIK called My Bar, which I love it
02:05because you're taking ownership.
02:06You're like, hey, buddy, stay out of this place.
02:08I don't want you here.
02:09This is My Bar, and I love that whole idea of the song.
02:12Is that something you wrote?
02:14Yeah, no, I actually wrote it
02:16with two of my really good friends
02:17well before I had a record deal.
02:20I probably wrote it four years ago.
02:21Oh, wow.
02:22And we just got talking about, like,
02:24how everyone's got their bar that they go to,
02:27and it's always funny because it's just,
02:29if people want to find you, they know where to go.
02:31Yeah.
02:32And it's like, if you thought I was leaving this bar
02:34because you walked in, wrong.
02:36Right.
02:37Why should I have to avoid the places I love so much, right?
02:41Exactly.
02:41Now, what is the name of that bar that you call your bar?
02:45Well, it changes, you know, because I'm on the road a lot,
02:48so I've got to find, like, new bars.
02:50But if you're in Nashville, where's your hangout?
02:52If I'm in Nashville, I really love the Palace,
02:56the Nashville Palace.
02:57Okay.
02:57I think that's my new bar.
02:59All right, so Priscilla Block rolls in there.
03:01She goes up to the bar.
03:02What is she ordering?
03:03Whatever's free.
03:05I love it.
03:06What's the guy next to me ordering me?
03:08You know what I mean?
03:09Oh, wow.
03:10All right.
03:11Just kidding.
03:12Now, you know, obviously,
03:14you have a huge social media following
03:17that kind of started this whole career on you
03:19when you put yourself on TikTok.
03:21What are some of the things that you like to see
03:24when you're on TikTok?
03:25Oh, my God.
03:26It's a trap.
03:27It is.
03:27Like, I'll be scrolling for hours at night.
03:29I know.
03:30I feel like my page is, like, full of dog videos
03:33and, like, house flips.
03:35Like, people redesigning their homes.
03:38Yeah.
03:39Yeah.
03:40Oh, Wayne.
03:41No, it's not.
03:42I mean, that's why it's on there
03:43because people are definitely watching it.
03:45All right, so let's talk about your first check
03:47from Nashville or your first check from your record label.
03:50What is the first thing you bought?
03:54Well, honestly, it took me a long time
03:56to even buy something
03:58because I just, I grew up not having money.
04:00So that was kind of just, I don't know, weird to me.
04:03And the first thing that, like,
04:05I really was like,
04:06I'm going to spend some money on was a car
04:08because my car, you know,
04:09was kind of held together by some duct tape.
04:12Well, that's good.
04:13What'd you buy?
04:14I finally went and bought a new used car.
04:17Oh, look at you.
04:18Not even splurging for brand new.
04:20I love it.
04:21Being smart with that money.
04:22I like it.
04:23That thing dropped 20% after you take it off the lot.
04:26Yes, it does.
04:27By the way,
04:28and now it's probably worth more
04:29than when you bought it for,
04:30the way things are now.
04:31By the way,
04:31your parents are so proud right now.
04:33That was a good parent moment.
04:36Well, we're excited to see you live.
04:38Priscilla Block,
04:38our second QYK guitar pole artist,
04:41going to be at the Mahaffey Theater November 6th.
04:43Before I let you go,
04:44I want to know what you like about doing acoustic shows.
04:46Maybe something about it that challenges you
04:48or something you get out of it.
04:50How's it different for you?
04:51I feel like it's just a time
04:52to be able to talk a little bit more
04:54of why I wrote the song that I'm about to play.
04:57And that's really cool for the audience
04:58to kind of see that and feel each song
05:01as if they were in the room
05:03when they wrote it with me.
05:04Well, cool.
05:05Can't wait to hear the stories behind the songs.
05:06We will see you November 6th.
05:07Priscilla Block.
05:08Thank you guys so much.
