Current Home: Nashville, Tennessee
Hobbies: Working out; visiting the wine country and learning about great wines; songwriting.
Intro to country music: I've never not known country music. My mom is a huge country music fan, so I was raised on it. Something about the lyrics of country music won my heart. They are always so honest, and have a very conversational approach.
Favorite country artists: This list is constantly evolving. As of this writing Thomas Rhett, Maren Morris, Lady Antebellum, and Little Big Town are at the top of my playlist.
4th & Main Involvement: Chase called me in the Fall of 2016. He told me that he had connected with my publisher and friend, Wayne Haun, and they had decided to launch an all-guy group. They wanted the group to be focused around very tight blended harmony. He was looking for a guy that could naturally sing the higher harmonies... and I immediately said, "yes".
Uniqueness of 4th & Main: Not only can we all sing lead step outs, we all can sing harmony. Also between Chase, myself, and Wayne Haun (producer), we have three published songwriters built into 4th and Main. There's not many "groups" in country music can say that.
