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.
