Acoustic by Week, Full Band by Friday: The Rise of Lacy Rashea
-
Narrated by:
-
By:
On this episode of Arizona Backroads, Birdman walks into Roosters Country and discovers a band on the brink of something bigger.
Meet Lacy Rashea and her band.
By weekday, Lacy and Shane strip it down to acoustic — what she calls "paid practice" — tightening harmonies, testing songs, and building chemistry. By weekend, it's a full five-piece country-rock show that brings the rowdy.
Lacy shares:
🎤 Growing up with a country-singer dad who opened for Tim McGraw
🎸 Picking up guitar at 12 but choosing songwriting over theory
🔥 Winning Best Female Artist & Best Upcoming Artist at the ACDMA Awards
🛣️ Touring regionally and nationally
🌵 Why Arizona built her — but Nashville is calling
They talk about:
-
The energy exchange between performer and crowd
-
Why acoustic shows are more vulnerable than full-band sets
-
How open mics create real chemistry
-
Overthinking as a musician
-
The grind of bar gigs vs. the rush of festival stages
And the big announcement:
Lacy Rashea is making the move to Nashville.
Not because Arizona isn't enough —
but because growth requires discomfort.
Also coming up: opening for Diamond Rio, Jo Dee Messina, and performing at the Chandler Ostrich Festival.
This is the grind before the breakout.
