I think more obvious to others, is that I'm most vulnerable on stage. Even though I know which songs I'm going to play, I try and keep it loose and base my stage time more on what the audience is requesting of me.

My goal is to show everyone that they, too, can do what they love to do.

I didn't want to be a headshot and get a chance to go compete to sing-that's not me.

I look around my life and it's hard to believe that music has given me all that I have.

I'm not a virtuoso on an instrument. You know, I'm not always singing in pitch. I laugh sometimes my way through the shows, but I'm an honest songwriter who's always tried to bring the audience with me on my journey in hopes that they see their own lives reflected in the work.

Here’s to freedom, cheers to art. Here’s to having an excellent adventure and may the stopping never start.

One thing I'm most passionate about is that I'm geared up and ready for another cycle of touring, to go out in the world and be whoever I need to be for someone.
