“Well, it’s Kevin Griffin from Better Than Ezra’s Festival, and Kevin Griffin from Better Than Ezra was my second-ever writing session in Nashville. I got here scared shitless. I had no idea what a writing session was. I’d never written with anyone else in my entire life. And to play that festival is a real full circle moment for me. I feel like I was a scared kid, and now I’m a scared mid, late 20s kid. And to be able to headline in the city that I’ve played so many shows and spent so much time here, it’s really, really cool. So many great artists honored to be a part of it.”
