There are so many good venues in Chicago.
I'm the first one to admit, I'm a pretty unorthodox guitar player.
I don't like to have really any expectations for myself.
I will always appreciate 'American Idol,' and I never forget about where I come from.
I'm not here to change the music world, but I'm definitely here to show what I can do and express myself through my music.
I think I can connect with an audience because I know what it's like to be on the other side of it and I really remember all of that.
