You recently released your new single, "Back in 1953," that you also co-wrote. Tell us about the writing process and where the idea came from. The song is about a guitar my Dad gave to me as a young man, that had fallen in disrepair. I had it restored and got to play it for the first time in almost 40 years. My Dad is gone and playing this guitar gave me the overwhelming feeling he is here with me and wants me to carry on his music to the next generation.
If you could only perform one of your songs for someone who has never heard of you, what song would that be? "Pray on the Radio."
Where did you grow up and how has that influenced your style of music? I grew up in Southwest Ohio on a farm in a small town. My Dad was from Kentucky. And my style of country is true traditional. I love to sing about all things country, agricultural and heartfelt.
At the end of the day, what do you hope is the message of your music? What do you hope people take away from your songs? Authentic and sincere is what I want everyone to feel about my music.
If you could be sponsored by one food/drink brand who would it be and why? Pillsbury....Grand Biscuits. I have a new song everyone will love: "Cathead Biscuits!"
