I think a great song appeals to older and younger people and it makes you think. It's also honest, and it also doesn't hurt if it's fun to sing along to.

Im all about small towns. I think its a great place to grow up.

I'm a really huge John Prine fan; I love his clever conversationalist songs.

Different people have different ways of doing things. For me, becoming a songwriter first and falling in love with the Nashville songwriting community and the process of songs and getting better and putting more in what I wanted to say, was absolutely vital in me even wanting to be an artist.

A lot of times, Im singing things that are observational and am definitely including myself.

Just like dust, we settle in this town.

Say what you think / Love who you love.
