MY FAVORITE CONCERT EXPERIENCE: I saw the Little River Band a few years back…by far some of the most talented musicians I’ve ever seen play.

I WROTE THIS SONG: “Counting on Maybe” was an idea that my co-writer, Ryan Payne, had on his mind. We set out to write the song, but it wasn’t fitting with any of our music that we came up with. After leaving the song out to dry for a month or so, we revisited the idea and completely changed the direction towards what it is now. The song is from a personal experience about being close to someone and hoping that there’s a chance to make some sort of relationship work, while knowing that there’s an equal chance it will crash and burn.
