My HoneyDew this week is musician Sawyer Hill! Sawyer joins me to Highlight the Lowlights of growing up in Arkansas, coming from a family full of Barry Manilow fans, and finding his way into music after working in a pathology lab and morgue. We talk about his grandfather being a Pentecostal preacher, the experience of processing his own grandfather’s amputated leg, and what life was like before his music career took off. Sawyer also shares how he got catfished into appearing on The HoneyDew and tells the story of the worst gig he’s ever played—a wake for someone he had never met.
