Description

Sunny Sweeney is country singer-songwriter who released her fifth studio album, Married Alone, on Sept. 23, 2022, through her own Aunt Daddy Records label. Her music has the sounds and storytelling typical of classic country and Americana roots music. She cites Loretta Lynn, Waylon Jennings, Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks as her biggest inspirations.
Her 2006 debut, Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame, was self-released and reissued by Big Machine Records. The follow-up, Concrete from 2011, came out through Republic Nashville and featured the song "From a Table Away," which reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Married Alone's beautiful title track is a duet with the legendary Vince Gill.
In this episode, we focus on Sunny's Oct. 15 show at The Loft at City Winery in Philadelphia, PA. The 16-song set included the new track "Tie Me Up" and the Randy Weeks' song "Can't Let Go" that Lucinda Williams recorded for her breakthrough 1998 album Car Wheels on a Gravel Road and Sunny included on her 2014 album Provoked.

At Behind the Setlist, we talk to artists to get the stories about the songs they play live. Most artists are known best for their recordings, but they love to be on stage. That's where the music feels at home. That's where they connect with the audience. How do they pick the songs to take the audience on a journey? Why do they cover other artists' songs? How many new songs can an artist fit into a 16-song set when people want to hear the classics? We find out. Hosted by Glenn Peoples (Billboard) and Jay Gilbert (Label Logic).
