Sawyer Hill

Sawyer Hill joins Scott Lipps for a new episode of Lipps Service to talk about his unconventional upbringing in Arkansas, growing up in a deeply religious Pentecostal environment, discovering rock music, and the unlikely path that led him to becoming one of rock’s rising young artists. Sawyer opens up about speaking in tongues, his grandfather the preacher, what music he was allowed to listen to growing up, and the story of how Pokémon somehow resulted in a whipping. He also talks about considering a future working in a morgue and pathology, finding bandmates through Craigslist, finding his own singing voice, and what happened when his music suddenly went viral. Sawyer gets into the current state of music marketing, Yungblud, the conversation around “industry plants,” and the process behind his new album, **Everybody’s Home, Nobody’s Happy**. Plus, Sawyer discusses “Tying the Noose,” “Going to Hell,” his weirdest-ever gig, what makes a perfect song, the one song he wishes he wrote, his favorite debut album, Folsom Prison, and his Top 5 newer artists. Another great conversation on Lipps Service with Scott Lipps. # CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 02:00 The Current State of Music Marketing 04:35 Sawyer Hill’s Upbringing 05:07 Growing Up With His Mom 06:30 Growing Up Pentecostal 07:25 Speaking in Tongues 10:52 The Morgue & Pathology 11:14 Getting a Job at the Morgue 15:25 What Music He Was Allowed to Hear 16:45 Learning the Ukulele 19:22 Growing Up in Arkansas 21:27 Finding Drummers on Craigslist 23:27 Pokémon, Religious School & Getting Whipped 25:07 His Grandfather the Preacher 27:37 Looking Back on His Childhood 29:53 Going Viral 31:08 Yungblud & “Industry Plants” 34:58 The New Record & “Tying the Noose” 36:50 His Weirdest Gig: Playing a Funeral 43:30 Making the New Record 46:13 Finding His Voice 49:22 The Meaning Behind the Album Title 50:44 “Going to Hell” 52:18 What Makes a Perfect Song? 54:02 Top 5 Newer Artists 55:57 The Song He Wishes He Wrote 56:31 Best Debut Album 58:09 Folsom Prison Learn more about your ad choices.
