LACEY STURM Interview by Rei Haycraft • Photography by Gary Carota • Carolina Rebellion • May 6, 2016 “Talkin’ About Freedom” Rei: All right, Carolina Rebellion! REI HAYCRAFT here with LACEY STURM--who just got off stage a little while ago. Your set was killer by the way! Lacey: Thanks! Rei: Absolutely amazing. I recognized the bass lines right away and came running. Lacey: Awesome! Rei: How's this experience been for you so far? Lacey: It's been amazing. It's been such a great journey. My kids are on the side stage playing air guitar, and that's just when I can see that everything's good, you know? It's also been just fun getting to perform again and play for people who are really excited to hear you. It's totally awesome. Rei: And to this kind of crowd…my goodness. Lacey: Yeah, I couldn't see the end of them today, so awesome. Rei: So “Life Screams” has been out for a little while and I think “critically acclaimed” is the right phrase? It is amazing… It's been in my car nonstop--it is fantastic.
