Me and the Boys about to play for the GRAMMY headquarters in LA:

I remember where I was on September 11th 2001. I was in my truck headed to put my 8 hours in at Mail Boxes Etc…

I heard the news on Atlanta’s rock radio station 99x. I thought they were joking at first. You know, the morning show babbling in the background as you sip your coffee. But nobody was laughing. I began to realize they were serious. I went in to work and talked with my boss and tried to stick around and stay positive and pretend it was not happening but I began to panic. I thought of my family and friends and they said Atlanta might be a target because of the Center of Disease Control which was right around the corner from where I was working. I told My boss I was leaving and he could fire me if he wanted to (he didn’t by the way, I ended up leaving town for a while.) I drove to my friend Stephanie’s house and I found her sitting on her bed watching TV crying. I began to cry too because right in those first moments I arrived the second plane hit. We were both in shock. It was earth shattering to me. Such an angering mysterious moment. We were all curious and stayed glued to our TV’s and then We saw the second plane hit. It was as if someone punched me In the chest. We decided we would go and try to donate some blood.  They had a waiting list and I found that beautiful so many people came together in tragedy.

I gathered my things and drove to the country where my father lives. I ended up quitting my job for a couple of months and moving to Florida to get away from the city and re-group my whole life and be with my family. 9/11 put my life and dreams into perspective. I got a lot more serious and determined after that day. My heart goes out to all the families that lost a loved one. I am fortunate enough to not have lost someone in the attacks. I honor all the troops who fight for our freedom and the ones who have died fighting for us all. Today I want to say thank you to them and to all the Americans who come together when this country is in need of volunteers, food and shelter for victims from hurricanes, to flooding to earthquakes. The tragedies bring us all closer together and we remember our compassion for one another.

The Boys and I finally made it to Detroit after a very loooooong drive from Nashville yesterday! Tonight we take the stage at The Hard Rock for the Kenny Chesney pre-party! 9pm!

Sit down, grab a sandwich, because I have a lot to catch you up on!

Well, all of our shows with The Zac Brown Band have been an absolute blast! Kid Rock showed up to watch us open for ZBB in Omaha at The Red Sky Music festival It was so scorching hot, sweat was in our eyes. I was able to hang with Kid for the rest of the evening. He really is a super guy, crazy, but he has a huge heart and he is so funny!

Hi from Colorado Springs!

I hope you are all enjoying your day by the pool or at least by a grill somewhere in the sun! I am in Colorado preparing for the next leg of my radio tour. I just flew in from playing in Pittsburgh and Charlotte with The Zac Brown Band, Kenny Chesney, Billy Currington and Uncle Kracker. Matt Shafer from Uncle Kracker is such a great dude and I hang out quit a bit with him and his band when I hook up with the Going Coastal Tour. Kenny and his crew are so wonderful to me as well as Billy is such a sweet heart and gentleman to me, He brings his dog and lets him run around by the buses a lot! I am looking forward to heading to Red Rocks and maybe jumping up again with Zac Brown!

The single My Name is Money is already being played all over the country, but the official add date is mid July and I am so excited! You can purchase it on iTunes early and I would appreciate it if you guys would take an extra minute to rate the song and maybe leave a comment! It will make iTunes perk up and see how many of you guys have been supporting my music! You guys have a blast and I can’t wait to rock some faces with you soon!

Salute!
