From the age of 16 on, I brought my guitar everywhere. I just fell in love with learning the guitar, and I wanted to learn songs and chords, and that led to wanting to start a band, and to wanting to do our first show.
Donavon Frankenreiter[Jack Johnson] really helped me make the record, put it out, and then let me tour with him for two years. He really helped me out.
