Watch Brittney Spencer’s Paste Session Recorded Live at Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion

Paste Studio “On The Road” set up shop at the 2024 Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion in Bristol, Tennessee-Virginia, the annual music festival that’s been honky tonkin’ since 2001. The festival features Americana, Appalachian Roots and more, honoring the legacy of Ralph Peer’s 1927 Bristol Sessions that introduced the Carter Family to the world, and continues to inform and inspire musicians to this day. We chose the most fitting location for this intimate series, showcasing artists in the performance space inside the Birthplace of Country Music Museum, dedicated to telling the story of the Bristol Sessions.

Full Session

Brittney Spencer shared her powerful voice with us, performing three songs from her debut album My Stupid Life, including a brand new song called “Guitar Lady,” heard on the deluxe version of the album that dropped on September 27. First up is “If You Say So.”

“If You Say So”

Spencer told us that we were the first ones to hear a live version of “Guitar Lady,” one of the six new songs heard on the deluxe version of the album.

The last song in this session is Spencer’s tribute to some of the artists who have impacted her the most, including Reba McEntire, Aretha Franklin, Alanis Morissette, Janet Jackson, Dolly Parton, Beyonce and Britney Spears.

“Bigger Than The Song”

Big thanks to Charlene, Danielle and the whole team at Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion, and to June and her team at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum for bringing these sessions to life. Stay tuned for more Bristol x Paste sessions on the way.
