Americans like a good comeback story, and the Grand Ole Opry provided one last night with the induction of CarlyPearce as its newest member
It’s similarly a recognition of persistence. Pearce has performed more than 80 times on the venerable Opry stage since her debut in 2015, appearing more regularly than some of its longtime members. She had set her eyes on the Opry when she realized in her earliest years that she wanted to sing country music for her life’s work.
“I think that a lot of people maybe play it and maybe some become members, but they don’t really keep it as a part of who they are,” she says.
And Pearce isn’t just the voice in her career -- she’s a guiding hand, too, establishing the Dobro as a key presence in her sound and writing a good chunk of her material, including debut single “Every Little Thing” and her CMA Award-winningHer skill with classic-country wordplay is on display in the album cut “Liability,” from her current EP. In addition to its acerbic portrait of a partner as a romantic liability, she lashes out with sarcastic praise at his “lie ability.
“He had no idea what I did for a living,” says Pearce of the psychic. “He had never met me, never seen me, only knew my first name. And he said, ‘I see you singing in a barn, and it’s not just you singing. Something big is going to happen at the barn.’ And he’s like, ‘Do you sing?’ And I said, ‘Yes.’ And he said, ‘Oh, my gosh, there’s a stage on the barn. And this is like a really big deal.’ And I remember I hung up with him, and I just felt like it was the Opry.
“I literally feel like a motivational speaker at my shows, just seeing these people crying in the audience,” she says. “I’m back out on the road playing this music, and I’m seeing these people affected by it. I know they’re in pain, and I just look them straight in the face, and I’m like, ‘Hold on.’”
