Join me for an intimate weekend at Lazy Acre Vineyard! During my career I've had the opportunity to open for Sammy Kershaw, Collin Raye, Aaron Tippin, Eric Paslay, Trick Pony, Walker McGuire, and Sunny Sweeney, and have learned a lifetime of lessons in the last five years since starting my musical journey, but the further down the road I get, I feel like I’m only getting started. With all the love and support my home state of Iowa has shown to me, It really makes me never want to leave. And I don’t think I ever could. No matter where this journey takes me, I’ll always have a 515 area code. Learn more!
