When the show opens, fans can text to a number we flash up on the screen, and then we do a meet-and-greet with 60 to 80 people every night. It's something I love doing, and I would say that's probably more fans than most artists bring backstage after a show.

When you get performance slots for award shows - that's a big deal for me.

As far as heroes thorough the years, I’d say definitely Alabama and Randy Owen, Conway Twitty was a big influence of mine, George Strait, Lionel Richie.

I'm a little drunk on you, and high on summertime.

I always look back to awards shows and think about being a kid watching them.

I am just what I am, I'm just what you see. So I'll make it easy, I'll stay me.

You never take your fans for granted. You always appreciate them every show, night in, night out.
