Daily Discovery: Stacey Randol, “Battled Feet”

Musicians Corner Spring 2012 Contest Winner

ARTIST: Stacey Randol

SONG: “Battled Feet”

BIRTHDATE: December 12th, 1986

BIRTHPLACE: Decatur, IL

AMBITIONS: To make music my whole life and to see as much of the world as possible.

TURN-OFFS: cockiness, negativity, apathy

TURN-ONS: humor, creativity, adventurousness, humbleness

DREAM GIG: I love outdoor venues. One in particular being Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO. It is gorgeous.

IF I HAD MORE TIME, I WOULD: take more road trips!

MY NIGHTLY RITUAL BEFORE BED: 
I usually enjoy mixing up my evenings, but one of my favorite ways to unwind after a long day is to write with a glass of vino.

THE BEST WAY TO GET A MAN’S ATTENTION: Confidence and a smile should do it.

MY 5 FAVORITE FUNNYMEN: Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, Jimmy Fallon, Richard Pryor, and Chevy Chase

SOMEONE I WANT TO MEET AND WHY: Paul Simon. I admire his entire song collection–from the beautiful melodies and balance of Simon and Garfunkel to his solo career where rhythm is the focus. He is my absolute favorite.

I WROTE THIS SONG: When looking at my gnarly feet. It’s true. Like many women, I wear shoes that end up causing a lot of pain. I ended up comparing the sacrifice of these shoes to relationships girls stay in even though they get hurt many times.

Stacey Randol will perform at Musicians Corner in Nashville, TN on Saturday, May 26.  Stream “Battled Feet” and more music from Stacey at American Songspace.
