I like my buddies to come out to shows on weekends, but they hardly ever get to any.

I started to sing after high school, and I may have dreamed about being Randy Travis a time or two.

That's where it all started for me, in clubs and bars, and I don't ever wanna outgrow that.

You don't have a voice yet when you first come out. So even though I knew I had some deeper songs, my first album had to be about the tempo and the fun.

Whenever it was spring break, someone would always have a guitar down at the beach, and they'd play a random song, and I'd sing. Eventually, hearing compliments from people saying I sounded pretty good stuck with me.

I'm getting to do, like, 11 stadium shows with Kenny Chesney... seriously - that's bucket list.

Before I ever had my record deal, I just had a publishing deal over at Sony ATV. I had that title, 'Flatliner,' and just the idea of a girl stopping everybody's heart - just kind of a fun idea.

My first album, I had to write everything. Nobody was going to send me stuff just because I had a little success.

Whether it's a show or an interview, the way I look at it is that one day people might not want to interview me. So I want to enjoy this ride while I can.

I just don't want any songs to go unheard.

I want to do this for a long time; I want people to be saying, 'What is he doing still playing in clubs?'

If one person feels the way I felt when I first fell in love with country music, then I'm doing my job.

There's families all across the country that miss people, but there's nothing like military families.

I know that a lot of our troops like country music. I would love to do anything I could to just help them out.

I'm just glad to be singing songs that touch people.

That's why I fell in love with country music: it made me feel something.
