Tonight, one of the best moments in my life is happening, one of my guitar idols and music idols w/ played here at the house of blues in Houston and I saw them both times and now I’m playing the same stage and standing in the same spot. This is an unreal moment for me.

As fun as the job may be, a lot of people don’t know the work put into it. The shows we play with no crowds, the times we get home and the loneliness kicks in. When you don’t have a crew to help you load in and pack out, the years and the hours. The promotional efforts to make a name, the people who’d rather hear a song a million times vs something new, the people who love you and hate you, the people who support you and yet never show, and we will have a dead smile.

As draining as it is, being a musician can be rewarding, however it’s the people in your circle that keep you going.
