Me And My Band And Crew Have

Growing Up Too Fast And I Do Recall, Wishin' Time Would Stop Right In It's Tracks.

The Title [of The Album 'the Big Revival']alone Fit What I Was Feeling. It Defined What I Was Going Through. That Year Off Was A Time To Revive, To Reset, To Reclaim, To Revitalize And To Re-focus. It Was A Revival Of How I Made Music, How I Presented It And My Connection With The Fans.

My Life Can Be Insanely Complicated Sometimes, And There's A Certain Simplicity That I Crave.

When I Started Playing Music At East Tennessee State University I Would Sit On A Stool With A Tip Jar In Front Of Me And Play Four Hours A Night At A College Bar Called Quarterback's Barbecue. I Wasn't Thinking About Doing It For A Living. I Was Just Making Enough Money To Go To Taco Bell Every Day. People Were Eating Chips, Drinking Beer And Not Listening To Me. I'd Had Three Or Four Years Of People Ignoring Me, And I'd Kind Of Gotten Used To It.

I Truly Believe That Music Is The Most Powerful Thing We Have.
