Early last year, Priscilla Block didn’t have a record deal, didn’t have barely enough money to cover rent, was having probably the worst year of her life until she got noticed on Tik Tok and fans took her song to No. 1 on the iTunes chart and her music career really kicked off. During a relatively tough time, one of country music’s legends gave Priscilla and her band a hand…more specifically, a jacket.

“I was playing at the Nashville Palace with some friends and I look out and it’s Randy Travis just sitting there, hanging out,” says Priscilla. “The night went on, he watched the entire set, and midway through, one of the workers there was like, ‘Hey-Randy wants to auction this jacket off for you guys.’ We’re all like, ‘Whatttt?’ So, the Nashville Palace gave Randy a jacket that said Nashville Palace on it. It was really cool. It was one of their super special jackets, I’m sure. And he signed it and said let’s give it to the band. The worker there was like we’re gonna auction off this signed Randy Travis jacket and all the money’s gonna go to the band up on stage. People are calling out all throughout the restaurant, raising hands, raising hands. We were sitting up on stage, I am crying. Once again one of those moments that no one knows where you’re at in life, and that meant more to me than anything in the world. He didn’t have to do that, but he did.”

Priscilla, who just performed in front of nearly 350,000 people at Nashville’s Fourth of July event, is knocking on the door of Top 25 on the country charts with “Just About Over You.”
