I was in the studio and told the guys, ‘I’m just going to ask him. When I got that idea in my head, his was the only voice I could picture singing with me. The legendary Vince Gill features on the title track. So you gotta find levity in that and be able to move on and move forward and write and sing songs about such things.

But also is it part of my fabric of being? Yeah. But, also, I think finding levity in the situation and the fact that, you know, I did get divorced twice before the age of 40. It’s important to sing songs about doom and gloom and real life because that’s actually real life. I’m always nervous about relationship songs anyway because I feel like you could always go down that road pretty quickly where it’s like (womp womp) doom and gloom like you just said. Was finding this sort of balance important with this project? However, it’s not all doom and gloom with tracks like Tie Me Up and Easy As Hello. Just looking at the tracklisting alone, you get the sense of it being relationship themed. The new album Married Alone drops September 23rd. Then after the London gig the band goes back and I stay and play some acoustic shows in Switzerland and then, yeah, I’m going on an actual vacation for four days to Italy! It’s the first vacation I’ve had in forever. Is this trip also going to be a vacation of sorts before that all kicks off?īetween the two UK festivals, I’m playing a festival in Spain. You’re in Europe for a little bit, ahead of an album release and a US tour. It’s going to make me besides myself happy. I love being in the UK, the fans there are just crazy cool music fans.

This is the third year in a row that we’re supposed to be there and so I’m thrilled, I’m so excited. My god, it has been so long coming! It’s been wild this whole Covid thing. It’s great that both festivals are, finally, back! How excited are you to perform in front of crowds that have been waiting so long? You’re performing at Millport Country Music Festival on August 20, and The Long Road Festival, as well as a headline show in London. I’m speaking to you a few days before you take to the stage in the UK. The busy lady was kind enough to take some time before flying to Europe to talk to me about her trip and the new album. At time of writing, however, she is in the UK, set to take to festival stages and her own gig in London, armed with an impressive back catalogue and exciting new music. Easy As Hello is the new single from Sunny Sweeney’s upcoming albumĬait Watters writes: On September 23, Sunny Sweeney will release Married Alone, her first studio album in over five years, before then embarking on a US tour.
