STORY 

This was a fun idea to write that took shape over many months. Marla is a perfectionist and I really enjoyed working with her in the songwriting process. We wanted to write a bit of a humorous idea about breaking up with someone or just a nice way to tell someone that you're over and out!  Done with the drama! Another amazing demo by mastermind Pete Sallis and Briana Tyson did the vocal on this and in my opinion, she killed it! She gives this the power of a JoDee Messina and the humor of Maddie & Tae!  An American Idol top 100 finalist, Briana is making her voice heard. She’s even performed with Vince Gill and the Time Jumpers! Definitely keep your eyes on her Nashville!

STORY 

I attended my first SongTown writers retreat in the spring of 2015 and magically was paired up with Pro writer Danny Myrick, a brilliant and extremely gifted Nashville songwriter. He asked what did I want to write so I opened up my little song file on my phone and said a surfing song. I had earlier pitched the idea to another pro writer who wasn't feeling it, but Danny's eyes lit up and as fast as I could blurt out the idea for the song and some lyrics, he was off and running. I mean, this guy can write the pants off of anything. We wrote it in about an hour and it's still one of my most favorite songs I've written. This song was pitched for Kenny Chesney's new album, but it didn't get cut...yet...

STORY 

This song came about through a collaboration with my Nashville buddy Kevan Kirk.  He is a super-talented writer and musician and all-around nice guy.  While writing this one, it's like we read each other's minds.  Lyrics and melody fell together like a hand in glove but then we went through an epic re-write over several months time to be sure every line was hitting home and that the melody was truly memorable like the girl in the song.  I love writing with Kevan and hope this is the first of many. The one, the only legendary Pete Sallis did a killer job on the track and his vocal could be on the radio. I feel like he nailed Tim McGraw on this one!

STORY 

This was a super fun write with Todd Dickinson and Marty Dodson...Ya gotta bring your "A" game to write with these guys. Summer night memories always seem to be fresh in your mind, don't they? Singer Kaci Bolls who cut the demo for us, knocked the vocal outta the park.
