"One of the greatest journeys of my life has been splitting my heart and my time between two towns. My hometown in Kansas gave me roots and put a song in my heart. And Nashville put those songs on the radio and also gave me a daughter. While it’s impossible to be in two places at once, I have learned to carry the right bits and pieces of all the places I love everywhere I go. The right kind of baggage, so to speak.

Much like my roots and my wings work hand in hand, so do the The Song & The Daughter Bags. For me, it symbolizes how my dirt road song ideas have traveled from the heartland to writing rooms on Music Row. It’s built tough enough to carry the weight of the struggle of a ten year town, but light enough to not weigh you down. And at the end of the day, what’s inside the Kansas-colored-canvas reminds me that I can always go home — and I can always take a little piece of it with me when I leave."
