Notable Guest Quotes

"You write about things you know, and your pain and your heartbreak."

"I like to try and dive back into that feeling of when I wrote the song - where I was at in that time in my life - I like to relive that moment because it makes my performance better. It helps me to connect with the audience and I think that they can feel it too.  You've gotta sing a song with conviction or it's just going to be noise."

"(songwriting is) not for everybody because... you have to be extremely tender and sensitive but also have a grit to you.  You've gotta be tough.  You've gotta be hardened a little bit but still be able to be emotional and sensitive and tap into that."

"We got to rehearse in Texas in 105-degree weather with no A/C.  That showed me a lot about what it takes to lead a band, to put a performance together."

"Just in a year I put over 100 thousand miles on one vehicle and that was not the only vehicle I was driving.  Just crazy, crazy amounts of travel and booking and promotion and merch and performing, of course."

"I got rejected and told No and that I wasn't good enough... It does not define you.  It does not mean that you are not good enough.  It means work harder, get better, and make it undeniable."
