My mother's a singer and my mother's father is a singer, and everyone on both sides are all country-western bluegrass musicians.

Even before I had a daughter, I was passionate about global women's issues, but now that she's here, I'm even more inspired to leave a better world for Evangeline.

Coffee, whiskey, and fishing poles. That’s really all you need in life.

I'm not so arrogant to consider mine the only legitimate art form. I can't in one breath make a fuss about someone compartmentalizing music into genre and then in the next accuse advertising and short film of not being art.

I'd love to claim the title of 'songwriter' or 'intellectual,' but the truth is that anything that I ever learned how to do in conjunction with music was purely so that I would have a platform to sing from.

I feel like the kindest thing that I do to my voice is sing.

All of these lines across my face, tell you the story of who I am. So many stories of where I've been and how I got to where I am.
