“Pearl Jam's 'Alive' is the reason I started to play music.”
“God Bless my mother and father for all the hard work they've done for our family.”
“One of my favorite guitar players and musicians is a guy named Jimmy Herring.”
“I was raised on nothing but love and support.”
“We pride ourselves on being great songwriters.”
“I believe 99% of success is never giving up.”
“I try to cross as many genres as possible with the same attitude. I want every song to be very clear.”
“I grew up in a really small town in Georgia, so the idea of knowing people who are actors or who are just involved in the Hollywood and movie scenes, that's far beyond anything I ever thought would happen in my life.”
“It's kind of a Catch-22. The more successful you get, the less normal you get.”
“I can't think of anything more important than a kid being sick and making them laugh and making that whole experience a little easier.”
“My mother is very good at sewing and makes wonderful quilts.”
“A lot of times, people ask us about being a country band, and we say, 'Well, we're not really a country band.' And we're not knocking country, because we like it, but we don't want to be limited.”
“The coolest thing for me to do was listen to Pearl Jam's 'Ten,' Nirvana's 'Nevermind,' or Soundgarden and play along to it and think about how awesome it would be to be in one of those bands and be up on stage. When I'd close my eyes at 13 and dream of being in Pearl Jam or one of those bands, it was exactly like how it is now with the band I'm in.”
“If you never give up and you strive hard and focus on every move like a chess game, you will make it. I believe that wholeheartedly.”
“If you feel like you have no other option in life but to follow your musical path, then do it. If you are talented and focus all your energy on becoming better and furthering your career and never give up, something will happen. I'm not sure what will happen, but it is guaranteed that you will do more than if you didn't do all that.”
“It's always hard for me to put the pieces together when listening to a finished album that I was a part of writing and playing. There are so many memories wrapped up in each note and each song that it's hard not to constantly flash back to what made that musical event happen while listening.”
“If they keep playing us on country radio and we get to keep doing cool stuff like playing with Willie Nelson, that's great.”
“I taught guitar lessons for a long time for a living before I got on the road. I really enjoyed hanging out with kids, talking about music with them, and trying to influence them in a positive way.”
“You can be as creative as you want to and build all these cool projects, but ultimately, if they're not successful and you don't have the business structure in place, everything will flop.”
“I'm just grateful. I'm grateful for my family, my wife, and our health. I'm grateful to be in a band of brothers that I love so, so, so much. I'm grateful that this magical combination of dudes makes music that people like and moves them.”
