My life will be forever changed. This album has put me through so much turbulence in my life. The last couple years trying to get it right, and find the time in my career to fit this project and not neglect the other things that bring livelihood to many others. I have neglected my own dreams, but with patience and determination, and accepting the things I cannot change, putting my best foot forward, and trusting the universe, I am finally able to give you #Moonshine much of which I like to show the diversity in my music as a songwriter, but also make songs that I am passionate about, genres I love, and still take it back to Georgia where I was born and raised. I think you will taste all of these things as you listen. Thanks for believing in a small town guy, and supporting me on this journey.
