Hey everyone, how’s it going?
Thank you, thank you, thank you to each and every one of you who voted for “What It Takes” this past week! We debuted on the GAC Top Twenty countdown at #11 - YES! I truly appreciate all the support. Sorry for taking a little bit longer to get this journal out to y’all, but I’ve been so focused on making tons and tons of radio calls recently. An important part of my day is taking time out to show appreciation to everyone who makes it possible for me to have a career in this business, and that is definitely something I believe very strongly in. Radio has been awesome to me down here and in Canada, and I enjoy spending the time -- however long it takes to call them all up and say "hey" and "thank you!"
Something new I've started doing for all you fans is called “ag TV." Basically, we shoot video footage of events taken from the road. It’s mostly me acting goofy, but it's also a look into what we do out on the road, on the bus, in planes and everything in between. It’s an addition to what I already do by writing journals, just more of a visual experience for y’all.
This past week, I did shows with Gary Allan and Blake Shelton, both of which were awesome. The crowds were amazing - 5,000 people at each event! It was a great opportunity for the band and I to get in front of more people and make more fans, which is always the goal. The other night, our flight ended up being so delayed out of L.A. that by the time we got into Austin at 2 am it made no sense for us to get a hotel before our 6 am flight out to Nashville. So, we ended up just camping out in the Austin airport that night. My manager Lawrence has always told me that I should get used to sleeping standing up and sleeping in airports! I guess this was our first introduction to that. I was cool with it though, because there was a vending maching and a chair that I could stretch out in and relax. Mark, Robin and Graham were laid out and snoring on the floor in front of Shelley and I, and there was a few times that we just burst out laughing. I guess we were a little delirious at the time, so everything seemed a lot funnier, haha.
Anyhow, we’re all safely back in Nashville and I’m just chilling out right now, watching this new show on TV called “High School Reunion.” It’s pretty good, actually. Well, y’all have a great evening and I'll be in touch with you next week. God Bless!
