Your guitars become some of your most faithful friends. They hang onto you whether you're in an empty dive or a packed Opry.

We felt honored to step into the circle and sing a song we wrote. Let alone one we wrote for our mommas called "Momma I'll Be Okay." After all, they deserve a good deal of credit for us getting here.

Looking out into the room and seeing our friends and family there was truly overwhelming. Good thing they only let us do two songs, or we might have had a massive coronary from all the excitement!
