Wisconsin Is a Fabulous Place
We went to Wisconsin to play at the Band on the Sand festival for the third year in a row. We get to meet so many great people on the road, and Wisconsin is no exception. In fact, it was one of the first, if not the first, places where we felt at home on…

Burning up the Road
Apparently Jessie and I have been burning up the road. How do I know? In the last seven days, we have replaced seven tires. I already posted about the two camper tires last week. Today we brought five new tires into the family. This weekend we had a show in Florida, and Jessie’s car needed…

Wyoming – What a Place!
What a trip we’ve had so far! After playing for a great crowd in Lincoln, Nebraska, we set off for Centennial, Wyoming. None of us have ever been to Wyoming. Cam has never been west of Texas. Neither Cam nor Jessie had ever seen the Rocky Mountains. All of that changed this weekend. As we…

Off and On the Road Again
First, the off the road story: Shortly after the last post about riding my bike to work, I did something stupid. About a week and a half ago, I was fixin’ to head home on a Friday afternoon on my bike. I wanted to pump up my tires before starting my homeward trek, so I…

A Fly-Fishin’ Musician
I got into fly fishing in August of 2016. It has quickly become my escape from music; my outlet to help me clear my head. More on that in a different post. Jessie and I had a great weekend this weekend. It started off with playing for a private event on Friday night. We had…

Our New Tour (Camper) Bus!
Jessie and I have been talking about a pop up camper for a while. It would make it so easy to pack up and tour, save money that we would have spent on hotels, and we can take a little bit of home with us wherever we go! So several weeks ago, we bought a…

The Problem of Nashville
Nashville is great. I’m one of the few that grew up here. I was actually born in this city. My dad grew up here, mom grew up within a few miles of here, as did 3 of my 4 grandparents. We’ve been here a while, and I’m very proud of that. Nashville has been an…

Why I’m a Disney Fan
I’m spending my Sunday prepping CDs for an upcoming tour date, folding laundry, cleaning, and watching Disneynature: Wings of Life. I have been a Disney fan for a long time. Nearly every child, at some point, loves Disney – they have a movie they love, a character with whom they identify, or that trip to…

Why I Still Believe in Music
I’ve been encouraged with music recently. Saturday morning, I partook in Record Store Day here in Nashville. I’ve never been to Record Store Day before, but a friend invited me and I wanted to know what it is. I have to say, it’s quite refreshing to see hundreds of people get up early on Saturday…

Music Is What I Do
It’s rare, when I’m on the road for my 9-to-5 job, that I have much down time. By the time I wake up, find breakfast, get to the convention hall, stand there all day, go back to my hotel to change shirts, go to dinner with the gang, workout, shower, and brush my teeth, I’m…
