FBC: What made you want to get involved in the country music world?
SM: I've always enjoyed music from a young age. Playing on stage is and always will be the coolest part of the music world. I just felt the need to see if I could take my music to the next level, to take a serious run at becoming an established artist.
FBC: What is your favorite part about performing?
SM: My favorite part about performing is the fact that I am surrounded by incredible talented musicians. They bring my songs alive and then to see the results of that in the crowd. That is my favorite part.
FBC: What has been your favorite memory of your music journey so far?
SM: We did a show in May of this year, opening for the legendary Marty Stuart. That has to be my most memorable show to date.
FBC: What do you use for inspiration when writing your songs?
SM: When I write I draw on real life experiences, some my own, and others I may have witnessed or maybe how you would like things to be. You could write all day on the curve balls that life throws at you, but I try to see the lighter side as well.
FBC: Who is your country music idol and why?
SM: To say I have one idol would not be true. There are so many that I look up too. I love the smooth sound of Jim Reeves and Marty Robbins. Also the southern rock sound of Travis Tritt. Brad Paisley and Keith Urban would be todays choices- they are the full package; guitar, vocals, and entertainer. But all in all, my dad on the steel will always be my idol.
FBC: If you could do a country duet with anyone who would it be and why?
SM: I have always loved Martina McBride, so she would definitely be my choice for a duet partner. She has a magical voice in my opinion.
FBC: What are three fun facts about you that you want your fans to know?
SM: Three fun facts eh?! Well I love the outdoors, I have a log cabin that I built years ago. Going there always involves the 4-wheeler and working my saw-mill. Two; I can make you laugh, I have some pretty good, spontaneous one liners! And I am also an avid hockey fan, so its always fun to get out to the games with dinner and drinks to make it a fun time.
