♪ >> Adia: TONIGHT WE HAVE THE PLEASURE OF HOSTING MINNEAPOLIS' OWN SARAH MORRIS -- NO RELATION, HERE IN STUDIO B. B. THE SINGER-SONGWRITER AND LOCAL MAINSTAY HAS HONED HER PEN AND HER VOICE ACROSS A DECADE-PLUS CAREER AND SIX ALBUMS THAT SHOWCASE HER ROOTS IN COUNTRY AND AMERICANA.

SHE JOINS US TONIGHT AHEAD OF A DOUBLE BILL SHOW NEXT WEEK AT THE DAKOTA JAZZ CLUB.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE, SARAH.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> YEAH, YOU'VE BEEN TO THE STUDIO A FEW YEARS AGO.

>> YES, I HAVE.

>> IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK.

>> THANK YOU.

>> I WANTED TO ASK, YOU RELEASED AN ALBUM LAST FALL, OCTOBER 2025.

>> YES, IT'S CALLED "SAY YES."

>> TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT ALBUM.

>> YEAH, IT'S TEN SONGS I RECORDED WITH MY BAND LAST JANUARY.

AND I'M JUST REALLY THRILLED WITH WHAT WE CAME TOGETHER, LIKE IT WAS, WE DID A SLEEP-AWAY CAMP STUDIO EXPERIENCE.

>> WHICH, EXPLAIN THAT.

>> WELL, THERE'S A FAMOUS STUDIO IN MINNESOTA CALLED PACHYDERM, AND WHEN PACHYDERM, AND WH STAY THERE, IS IN CANNONFALLS YOU GET THE STUDIO BUT ALSO RENT THE HOUSE.

MOST OF US ARE PARENTS, IT WAS A SPECIAL TIME TO BE ABLE TO GET AWAY AND MAKE A RECORD AND IN THE COLD OF JANUARY AND THEN WE PUT OUT IN OCTOBER WHICH IS KIND OF A QUICK TURNAROUND FOR US, BUT IT WAS A REALLY JOYFUL WAY TO SPEND 2025.

>> YEAH, WHAT INSPIRED THE SONGS ON THE ALBUM?

ARE THEY NEW THINGS OR THINGS THAT YOU'D HAD IN YOUR POCKET FOR A WHILE?

>> KIND OF A COMBINATION.

SO I ELONG TO A GROUP OF WRITERS WHERE IN THE WINTER WE WRITE A SONG BASED ON A PROMPT EVERY OTHER WEEK AND THEN IN THE SUMMER -- SO I ACCUMULATE A LOT OF SONGS.

NOT ALL OF THEM ALBUM-WORTHY AT ALL, BUT AND BEFORE I WENT INTO THE STUDIO I TOOK A BIG PILE OF THEM AND I KIND OF LOOKED AT THE DIFFERENT THEMES AND I HAD THREE SONGS THAT WERE ANCHORS.

AND SO THAT HELPED GUIDE WHAT OTHER SONGS PLAYED TOGETHER.

I GET VERY WOO-WOO LIKE AN ALBUM OF SONGS, THEY'RE GOING TO BE FRIENDS, SO.

>> YEAH, AND I DO WANT TO ASK ABOUT ONE THING, I WAS CREEPING ON YOUR INSTAGRAM.

YOU LIKE LOVE MORNING SKIES.

>> I DO.

>> WHY DO YOU LOVE THEM?

TELL US ABOUT THAT.

>> WELL, WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?

THEY'RE GORGEOUS.

AFTER BECOMING A MOM AND THEN IN, AND I JUST LOVE LOOKING UP.

I LOVE LOOKING UP, I LOVE LOOKING OUT.

AND IN COVID WHEN I NEEDED SOMETHING TO KIND OF ROOT ME IN A GRATITUDE PRACTICE, I JUST STARTED TAKING ONE PICTURE EVERY DAY OF THE SKY AND PUTTING IT OUT THERE AND THE HASHTAG IS ALWAYS THE SAME "FROM LOVE, FOR LOVE."

THAT'S WHAT I DO.

>> BEAUTIFUL.

WELL YOU HAVE A COLLABORATION COMING UP AT THE DAKOTA WITH MOLLY DEAN.

TELL US ABOUT THAT, WHEN IT IS, WHAT WE CAN EXPECT.

>> MARCH 3RD, 3/3, VERY EXCITED.

IT'S TUESDAY, YOU DON'T WANT TO COOK DINNER ON TUESDAY NIGHT YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE SOMETHING DELICIOUS AND LET US SING TO YOU.

MOLLY'S MAGICAL, SHE'S SO GIFTED AND GORGEOUS AND WE SHARE A FEW BANDMATES SO IT'S GOING TO HAVE A REAL SENSE F TOGETHERNESS AND I CAN'T WAIT.

WE HAD OUR RELEASE SHOW FOR THE ALBUM ON 10/10 AT DAKOTA SO ANYTIME WE CAN GO BACK THERE IT JUST FEELS GOOD.

>> WHAT TWO SONGS ARE YOU GOING TO SING FOR US TONIGHT?

>> I'M GOING TO START WITH A SONG FROM THE ALBUM, IT'S CALLED GLOW, IT WAS ONE OF THOSE ANCHOR SONGS I TALKED ABOUT, IT'S ABOUT CELEBRATING THAT SPECIAL SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS AND ENCOURAGING THEM TO KEEP GOING WITH IT.

THE WORLD NEEDS MORE OF WHAT YOU'VE GOT.

>> YEAH.

>> AND THEN LATER ON I'M GOING TO SING A SONG THAT HAS BEEN IN MY POCKET FOR A MINUTE BUT I RECORD IT DID ON JANUARY 5TH OF THIS YEAR CALLED "WE BELONG TO EACH OTHER" AND I PUT IT OUT WITH MY FRIEND EARL TURNER AT THE END OF JANUARY.

BECAUSE IT FELT NECESSARY.

>> YEAH, FEELS LIKE THE RIGHT TIME.

>> WELL, LET'S HEAR FROM SARAH MORRIS, WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ADO.
