PlayYou Ain't Comin' By

A finalist in the International AND John Lennon Songwriting Contests this year, this is a very personal look at a day in my life at 6 years old. I didn't meet my dad until I was 15, and the honesty in this song resonates with listeners. Concert goers approach me after gigs with their own stories, which is one of the reasons I love to perform in the first place. It is produced by former Jayhawks front man and Dixie Chicks collaborator Gary Louris and features Bob Egan (Blue Rodeo, Wilco) on pedal steel.
