All of these lines across my face, tell you the story of who I am. So many stories of where I’ve been and how I got to where I am.

Colorado is an oasis, an otherworldly mountain place. I’ve played so many shows in Colorado that I think I’m the Colorado house band.

You can’t change people, but most importantly, unless you’re their momma, you don’t even know what’s best for them.
