‘Iconic Women of Music’
Backstage Bar & Billiards, September 17
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. Join us!

Rae Radick, a powerhouse Nashville-based singer-songwriter whose music blends pop, country, and raw storytelling into an unforgettable experience, comes from the suburbs of Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Rae’s love for music began as a toddler, singing and dancing before she could even form full sentences. By age three, she was in dance classes; by twelve, she had picked up the guitar and piano to craft her own songs. Her lifelong passion for performing led her to DeSales University, and from there, to New York City, where she built a career as a professional actress, singer, songwriter, and model.
Rae created “Iconic Women of Music” because she knew she had more to offer and refused to let others define her worth. The show is a high-energy, electrifying tribute to legendary female artists, featuring a dynamic, genre-spanning setlist that captivates audiences of all ages and leaves them singing along every time. It’s a celebration of strong, trailblazing women—a message Rae is passionate about sharing, especially with young girls navigating today’s challenging world.
