Thank you to country radio for believing in me.

If I could make noise with anything, I was going to.

Albums are chapters. They're part of a story.

Singing live is my favorite. When people sing along to your songs, the circle is complete.

My dad said 'When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life,' and I agree with that.

I started writing when I was around 6. I say 'writing,' but it was really just making up stuff! I started writing and doing my own thing. I didn't really know what a demo was or anything like that, so I started getting interested in studio gear and started learning about one instrument at a time. My first instrument was an accordion.

A bass player has to think and play like a bass player. A drummer has to play and think like a drummer, and stay out of the way of the vocalist. The guitar player has to respect everybody else.
