Here at P&W, we are happy to premiere Katie Herzig’s newest song aptly named, “Lie Or Lie Awake.” This song is part of a bigger compilation album featuring many prominent artists from Nashville called Ten Out Of Tenn. Here’s what Katie has to say about this beautiful track:
“It took me months to write ‘Lie or Lie Awake’ and years to release. It’s such a raw song, written in a time where my world, as I knew it, was turned upside down. I think it was so hard to finish because I didn’t know how it would end. Turns out songs just represent moments in time, so there really is no conclusion other than the weight I felt at the time, from not knowing what I wanted. In hindsight I’m so very glad to not be in that place any more, but I’d never take back what I learned about myself through the whole experience. Grey’s Anatomy actually used the song in one of their episodes before I had a chance to record a final version so for a couple years I’ve had people ask where they can get this song. It didn’t quite fit on the album I released last year so I’m very happy to finally release it as a part of this Ten Out of Tenn compilation.”
Before Nashville had a budding independent music scene, there was Ten Out Of Tenn, a collective of solo artists that created a unique movement across the country. Through the years, Ten Out Of Tenn has had over 500 TV/Film placements, hundreds of live shows and notable alums such as Madi Diaz, Mikky Ekko, Erin McCarley, Paper Route, Joy Williams and Kate York. Announced on Paste.com, Ready Set Records will release the two-disc compilation record, Ten Out Of Tenn: 10 Years, out March 17. The album boasts 20 tracks from TOT’s impressive list of artists.
In celebration of 10 years, Ten Out Of Tenn is “getting the band back together” for a special anniversary show at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on 4-24. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased on the Ryman site here. Included in the evening’s line-up are: Kyle Andrews, Andrew Belle, Butterfly Boucher, Trent Dabbs, Andy Davis, Gabe Dixon, Katie Herzig, Tyler James, Matthew Perryman Jones, Jeremy Lister, Erin McCarley, Paper Route, K.S. Rhoads, Sarah Siskind, Amy Stroup and more to be announced.
