What they’re saying

“I recently read that if you lined up all the country music artists who 'break through at all,' the majority cluster tightly around 5-7 years of an active career. Only about ten percent have a career spanning 20 years. As I embark on my 30th year of touring, I find myself in the single-digit percentile of artists. I am humbled that my fans and promoters have let me do this for so long. Hope to see you one more time in 2026.”
