I'm crazy about Appleton.

I'm bringing, just, my side of Americana.

I'm bringing my sound, I'm bringing what I, the years and years of generations of sound that came through my family's lineage, and I'm kind of showing you what you may not have heard from the South and from like, Georgia, Florida, you know, that Savannah.

I'm bringing that to you.

I'm bringing you good old Southern folk, you know, right on the corner of Ray Charles and Lynyrd Skynyrd, you know?

So it's just right in that cusp.

And that's my addition to the tapestry of Mile of Music, and I'm excited about that.
