I firmly believe that every six years, a person goes through a serious change. Think about it: At 6, you start school. At about 12, you start hitting puberty. And then it goes on. You start hitting these different mental levels, and people change. I think that's part of the reason the divorce rate is so high.

Any of the rewards or accolades or any of that are very nice and everything but the music is what saves me. And it did. I would write my way out of any kind of depressing period.

I started playing in bars when I was about 15 years old, and there are things that I saw early on that really shaped who I am.

I started playing guitar before I can really remember, and I started writing really early, too.

I love Darius Rucker. He's a true artist, a great songwriter who can play his instrument, sing and write about his life.

I remember when I met my wife and that she could just grab my hand and I would just ease. I dont know how to say that but it was one of the coolest things. It was strange, but it definitely changed my life.
