About this episode
Did you know that there's an enclave of Bawdy SuperFans in Nashville, Tennessee? This episode is a Behind-The-Scenes story, the story behind the stories, if you will. For those who love the Dixie Ramble, get ready for a Puppet and Clown and Music Video filled birthday party (spoiler alert: wemay have broken the Birthday curse). Plus, the story of 2 talented Nashville musicians who were inspired to write sex-positive songs after listening to Every.Single.Episode of the Bawdy Storytelling podcast. Nashville was definitely a highlight of my recent Cross Country to East Coast Tour, and finally, you too can hear a custom song written just for Bawdy. #ILoveCustomSongs Song: 'Bawdy, if you're feelin' Naughty' (Wet Bread) About our Songwriters: Melody Walker and Lizzy Ross are both celebrated songwriters in the indie folk and Americana scene who decided they had far hornier songs to write than their previous mainstream projects would allow for. They had spent so many years not wanting to seem like "those kind of bisexuals": you know, the lusty, insatiable, wanton kind of women who would start a band just to advertise their goods to a captive audience of other certified sluts and poly queerdos. But when Melody turned Lizzy onto her favorite podcast Bawdy Storytelling and then they found out Dixie was coming to Nashville, it was all over for their good reputation. They decided to risk it all to debut their new duo WET BREAD.
