I have my views and obviously my music has connotations that lean toward what I believe, but I've learned through other artists' mistakes that I'm never going to use my career as a platform for politics, especially at shows. People come to hear music. It's my job to entertain them, and it's my escape too.

Texas people are really strong in their roots. I started writing and playing guitar at 17. I've always loved music, and my dad is a singer-songwriter.

Usually, I cut songs by other people that are artists that I already love.

I do appreciate every single dollar I earn.

I did surveillance a lot, which sounds exciting, but it never was.

I can reach the mass audience if I come from different perspectives on every song.

When you live with someone on the bus, for four days a week, you really have to get along.
