00:00All right, Lana, Kevin, on the phone right now is our second QIK Guitar Pull Artist Reveal, okay?
00:07And let me just tell you this, we're going duo this time.
00:09Duo.
00:10Duo this time.
00:12They have a massive social media following.
00:15They are from North Dakota.
00:16They have been singing together since they could walk.
00:19Think about that for a second.
00:20All right, they moved to Nashville and performed on lower Broadway bars, including Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row.
00:25So, QIK Guitar Pull Artist No. 2, please reveal yourself.
00:30What's up, Tampa?
00:32It's Tiger Lily Gold.
00:55Tiger Lily Gold.
00:56Tiger Lily Gold.
00:57I love it.
00:59Yay.
00:59What is up, ladies?
01:01How are we?
01:02We're so good.
01:03Thanks for having us.
01:04We're excited to have you.
01:05Kendra and Krista, sisters from North Dakota, and obviously Tiger Lily Gold, a great band, Shoot Tequila.
01:12Oh, my gosh.
01:13By the way, when's the last time you actually shot Tequila?
01:15Oh, this weekend.
01:18I love it.
01:19You guys are girls after Lana's own heart right there.
01:22Yeah, you know, for better or for worse, I do practice when I preach.
01:26Hey, you've got to live it.
01:28I get it.
01:28We're going to get along just fine.
01:30Well, you know, ladies, you know, we just got, you know, you had your EP out, and then
01:35when Shoot Tequila comes out, and we kind of get introduced to you, but you guys have
01:38been around for a while and hustling.
01:40Can you give me an aha moment where you said, oh, my gosh, this is something we can really
01:44make happen, or really, you know, maybe a life-changing moment when it came to this business?
01:49I mean, there's definitely been a few.
01:50We've been at it for 10 years, and we moved to Nashville in 2017, and we're from a really,
01:55really small town in North Dakota.
01:57So I think when we moved from our small town to Nashville, it was like, okay, no, we're
02:01going to see how far this dream can really take us.
02:04And then I remember we were in a pandemic, and we ended up signing a record deal about
02:09a year-ish into the pandemic, and that was definitely just a crazy aha moment.
02:14And then having our first song at Country Radio is another one.
02:17So it's just been, oh, and making our Grand Ole Opry debut this year.
02:20Like, yeah, there's so many.
02:22It's crazy.
02:23I love that.
02:24I love hearing that.
02:24Talking to Tiger Lily Gold right now, going to be at our QYK guitar pool, November 12th
02:29at the Mahaffey Theater.
02:30Ladies, you're kind of going back and stripping it down at these acoustic shows.
02:34Pretty much the way you started, right?
02:36Right.
02:37No, it's definitely with Kendra, me, and my guitar.
02:40It's definitely back to our roots.
02:42But we don't mind it.
02:43We love doing those more intimate kind of stripped-down shows.
02:46And really getting to the harmonies and the guitar and what makes Tiger Lily Gold, Tiger
02:49Lily Gold.
02:50You know, we can always dress it up.
02:52We love playing our full band shows as well.
02:54But you can really connect and hear the words.
02:56And we're going to be playing some new songs, too.
02:58I know a lot of people are new to us already, but we'll play, you know, play Shoot Tequila.
03:02Don't worry about that.
03:03We'll play that.
03:03We'll play it last, you know.
03:06We'll play the people with the new music as well.
03:08Awesome.
03:09Well, yesterday we revealed that Scotty McCreary would be on stage with you as well.
03:13We can't talk about anybody else yet.
03:15But he's a good dude.
03:17I think you're going to enjoy performing next to him.
03:19We can't wait.
03:19That's going to be amazing.
03:21I mean, we watched him on American Idol growing up.
03:23So that's going to be really, really fun.
03:25I think it's our first show with Scotty, actually.
03:27We met Scotty.
03:28We met other artists that are not to be named yet.
03:31Like, don't say it, Krista.
03:32I'm not going to.
03:33You don't trust me.
03:35Well, I mean, you guys did say you had tequila all weekend.
03:37So we weren't worried you might let something slip.
03:42Let me ask you this.
03:43I mean, you talked about Scotty and seeing him on American Idol.
03:45Did you guys ever think about going that route and try it out for a reality show?
03:50Yeah, it's really hard to do it because, like, on Idol, if we would go audition, they'd split us up.
03:54The voice, you can.
03:55But then you are competing against solo artists, and it's kind of this odd dynamic sometimes.
04:00And, you know, we would have thought about it definitely in the past.
04:03But right now, where we're at in our career, I'm not sure that it would be for you.
04:06Oh, yeah, not now.
04:06Yeah, you're way past that now.
04:09Yeah, we're good on that.
04:11But maybe someday, you know, who knows?
04:14Oh, you'll be a coach one day.
04:15I've had nightmares about Simon Cowell.
04:17Yeah, I really hate competition, so I don't know if it's our near future.
04:22Yeah, you're in the right business if you hate competition.
04:25Yeah.
04:25Well, I love your energy right now as we're talking to you.
04:30I mean, Tiger Lily Gold going to be at the QYK Guitar Pole November 12th at the Mahaffey Theater.
04:36Who are some phone calls you've gotten from, like, people that have called you that are, you know, big in this business that have encouraged you and said, hey, you're kind of up next?
04:43Oh, there's been several.
04:45I mean, Ashley McBride is one who's taken us out on a few shows, and she's always super encouraging to us.
04:50And obviously, Mr. Walker Hayes, we're on the same label, and he really has supported us from the beginning.
04:56And Miranda Lambert has been really kind to us and really has supported us through the way.
05:01We got to make our Opry debut the same night Carrie Underwood was there, and she was super encouraging to us.
05:08Oh, gosh.
05:08That's kind of cool.
05:09Yeah, I know.
05:09That was terrifying, honestly.
05:11Wait, did you have to follow her, or did you go before her?
05:14Oh, no.
05:15We wouldn't have went if we would have had to follow her.
05:19You can't make your debut after Carrie Underwood.
05:23No, no, no, no.
05:25No, I would have been like, can we two have a different day?
05:27Yeah.
05:29That's awesome, though.
05:31Did you get to talk to her a little bit?
05:32Yeah, a little bit.
05:33I mean, it was pretty brief, because obviously she's very busy, but she was very nice.
05:37And we said, hey, you know, we grew up listening to your music.
05:39It's our Opry debut.
05:40And she said, congratulations, and that wishes the best for us.
05:43And she was very kind, and she's so poised.
05:45Like, I don't know how to describe it.
05:47She's like an angel.
05:48She's like a princess.
05:49Yes.
05:49She's in a nice teacup dress, and she's like an angel.
05:51And then Krista and I are like, rawr!
05:54Tequila!
05:55So besides Carrie Underwood, is there any other artists that you've gotten completely, like,
05:59tongue-tied over that you've met recently?
06:03Well, recently we met Randy Travis.
06:05Oh, yeah.
06:06And that was such an honor for us to meet a legend of that sort.
06:09And he was all, you know, smiling from ear to ear.
06:11I think I might have cried.
06:12Like, I was like, is that actually Randy Travis in the flesh?
06:15Aw.
06:15And that was really cool for us.
06:16Well, we can't wait to see you here.
06:18And I'm excited for you guys to show off the skills and bring that girl energy.
06:22And it's going to be a lot of fun.
06:23And I think you're going to play up to this crowd perfectly.
06:26And we can't wait to see you November 12th.
06:29We got you.
06:29We're going to bring it.
06:30All right.
06:30Bring it.
06:31Ladies and gentlemen, Tiger Lily Gold.
06:33Yeah!
06:35All right, ladies.
06:36Have a great day.
06:37Thanks, guys.
06:38See you soon.
06:38All right.
06:38See you.
