I just love music, and I'm not as genre specific as most songwriters. A lot of my buddies just listen to country, or just Americana, or whatever their style is, and I just listen to everything.

Me and my band, we love playing live, and I think it shows. We have one of the better live shows in the state, and I think it's because we just love playing live.

Only in Texas can mesquite have its own festival, then there's a crawfish festival, a festival for strawberries, everything has its own festival, with each town having their own yearly thing.

I'm a channel surfer when it comes to radio, a little bit of everything.

I'm just trying to make a good record that my fans will dig.

I don't have anyone telling me to change things or giving me unwanted opinions. It's just me and my band making music. It's nice for a change.

A lot of my buddies enjoy the writing part or the studio part, and I love the live show part. That's the reason I got into all this, to play keg parties and bars. I still love playing live.
