Call it Singer/Songwriter, Americana or simply Commercial music if you will but labels are unimportant when an artist can draw you in and immerse you in the feelings this well. ”

I did find myself hoping for that moment of explosion in pace, passion, or performance and even though it never quite came, I was engaged from start to finish.”
