- I like to say I'm spontaneous.
I am down for everything,
but I take my art, my craft very seriously.
Country music has been there for me
when I felt like nobody else was.
I moved to Nashville in a bumper-pull camper trailer.
I had no friends.
It was just me and my guitar.
I've always had country music to lean on.
I think there's just so many people who feel lonely at times
and country music is there for them.
It's my job now to stand on that stage
and make sure that nobody does feel alone.
Growing up, I didn't even realize
that country music was a genre.
Where I'm from, it was a way of life.
It's what we listened to going down the road.
That's what I listened to when I rode the tractor
with my daddy, like we lived out every single line
of those country songs.
- One, two, one, two, three.

I grew up around a lot of cowboys.
My daddy's a cowboy.
I watched season one of "Yellowstone', freaked out.
I felt like I was seriously watching my family on TV,
because I truly just felt this just connection right away
to the show.
I have a lot of favorite characters on the show,
but if I had to choose one, I have to say Beth.
I think she is sassy.
She tells it like it is and she makes it sexy.
Nobody can do it like Beth can do it.
I think we'd be friends.
We can probably get into some trouble together,
because I think me and my crew
are definitely down for everything.

Country music is my life and it has always been my life.
I eat, sleep and breathe it.
I sit around
and I listen to a lot of people's conversations.
I guess I like to eavesdrop a little bit.
There's times when the idea will fall from the sky
and we will write that song that day.
Sometimes you have to work for it.
Sometimes it takes years to finish a song.
I think at the end of the day,
it's just about sitting down, telling the truth
and saying things that a lot of people are scared to say.
When I'm standing on stage,
I like to call it an energy exchange
that I'm having with the crowd.
I am pouring out my energy, but I'm also soaking theirs up.
