Talking With Rae Radick – July 28, 2025

The Talk About Las Vegas Podcast | a podcast by Ira Sternberg

This week on “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Ira is joined by Nashville-based singer-songwriter Rae Radick, performing “Iconic Women of Music” at Backstage Bar & Billiards on September 17. Rae’s journey is as bold as the voices she honors—from singing and dancing at age three to releasing her first album at fifteen. After a decade of performing in New York, she followed her heart to Nashville, just as the world started reopening post-COVID. Now, she’s living her dream—and inviting us all along for the ride. In this episode, Rae opens up about: *How performing keeps her fit (yes, it's her workout) *Why taking risks is essential—and failure isn't fatal *The inspiration behind “Iconic Women of Music,” a passion project turned professional tribute *How she picks and paces the icons she honors—from Dolly to Whitney—and lets audience feedback help shape future shows *Why she’s not an impersonator, but a performer celebrating the legends *Why a live band is non-negotiable for her—and how art, for her, is all about community Plus, Rae shares her dream of landing a Las Vegas residency, what it’s like debuting in Vegas, and how she crafts a high-energy, one-woman show that’s “a party from start to finish.” It’s an honest, inspiring, and full of heart conversation.
