Kimberly Schlapman Loves a Whiskey Song

Kimberly Schlapman, a founding member of the band Little Big Town, has been a musician almost all her life. As a little girl she played piano alongside her mother at a Baptist church near where she grew up in Cornelia, Georgia, and even then people knew her voice was something special. Years later, on a choir camp bus when she was at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama, she met Karen Fairchild, her future bandmate—and the rest is country music history. But Kimberly has also made her mark as a cookbook author, a TV show host, and a passionate fan of Southern food, and she’s always found a creative outlet in the kitchen. In this episode, she shares how she’s been handling her mother’s struggle with Parkinson’s disease. She also talks with Sid about the upcoming Little Big Town 25th Anniversary Tour with Sugarland, her divided allegiance between Tennessee and Georgia football, and why she loves songs about whiskey.
