I think every singer hears songs that make you want to sing them.
Over the course of a day, you get to get a feel for where you're playing, so when you get out on stage, you already feel like you've had a bit of a bonding experience with them.
I love barbecue, its my favorite thing to eat.
Any time I get to go home is a joyous occasion.
I think anytime you get nominated for an award, its a very humbling thing.
I naively thought I had to go door to door, find somebody who could record me singing some songs. I didn't know Music Row, I didn't know anything! So after six or seven months, I went back home and went to college.
My philosophy has always been that I hope I have a good enough day to give me another one, I hope that I have a good enough year to give me another year. I know that's cliched, but it's the truth in how I approach my career.
I've never really gotten into the whole labels thing. There were times I would cover a pop song, and people would say 'You sound really country.' I gave up on that whole thing a long time ago.
As a singer, I just want to try to honor what the writers create - and as someone who's trying to write songs, I just hope I can stand in their company and not embarrass myself.
Nowadays, social media is the easiest place to go to find something.
There are very few people that I deal with from a business side that it's just strictly a one-sided business relationship. I think that's important.
I really like singing, but coming from a small town like where I grew up, how do you start that journey?
I'm obviously very involved with my own charity and foundation that I work with. Obviously, I'm very passionate about that.
Sometimes you get so jaded, you don't have those initial connections and emotions with music, because you are promoting your own.
