The post Interview with Abbie Bell & The High Ryes first appeared on Hometown Country Music.]]>

Artist Name:  Abbie Bell & The High Ryes
Hometown:  Edinburgh, Midlothian

What project(s) are you currently working on?

Right now my band and I are getting ready to release our second single Take it Off which will be released May 29th and we are fine-tuning our set list, making sure it is enjoyable and a show! We have a couple of stand-out tracks that once finished we will be taking to the studio next!

What inspired you to pursue a music career and when did you know?

I have been songwriting and composing my own music since I was 13. Then one day in my early twenties I was on a bus and like a switch I decided it was now or never and made the choice to release my own music. I began a release plan that night. I didn’t excel in many other subjects in school and it was always just a feeling like my intuition telling me that music in particular songwriting is what I am meant to do. I have always loved music and grew up around people who also loved music, supported me and helped nurture my creativity.

If you weren’t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing for a living?

Music is currently not my main career. Like many musicians/creatives it can be hard to make a living but I have been fortunate that I stumbled into tourism which has led to a career in business development and marketing which I also love.

What is your favourite downtime activity?

Playing PlayStation.

Who is your biggest celebrity crush?

Never really had one.

Who is your favorite sports team(s)?

Chicago Bears, NFL and of course any Scottish sports team.

What is the last movie that you watched?

Blades of Glory

What is the last album you listened to?

Genesis – abacab

If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Rumours – Fleetwoodmac!

What is the greatest country song of all time?

There are many amazing country songs both from the classic and modern era but for me if I had to pick one it’s Jolene – Dolly Parton

What has been your favourite city/town that you’ve visited out on the road?

I have not yet been out in the road in regards to touring but hopefully one day! Been very fortunate to play many shows around Scotland.

What is your favorite meal?

Tacos

Who is your dream duet partner?

Stevie Nicks!

Who would you like to go on tour with?

Miley Cyrus, Kelsea Ballerini, Cam.

What is your ultimate career goal(s)?

To be fulfilled and happy. I want to love what I am doing. I want my family to be happy and my goal is to provide and share amazing memories without barriers. The band and I would love and it is absolutely a goal of ours to play festivals and take our songs on a tour but ultimately the goal is to be happy and enjoy the journey.
