 “The Open Road” represents a "journey" we all share. We all learn to stand, fall, and get back up again. We live a journey towards enlightenment. We walk a life-road of choices and "create" our world through our decisions as we manifest our story to reality. My enlightenments truly found me as I "quit" society's plan of choices "made" for me, and I began making my own choices. I started performing on stages as a country band in surrounding San Antonio saloons and clubs. The first full-length country song I ever wrote was called, “Thou Shalt Not Bitch.” which promoted appreciation of existing blessings. I recorded and released it with my first EP in 2012. It received a San Antonio Music Award from SA CURRENT for Best Original Song. SA CURRENT also awarded my band with multiple awards for Best Country Band, Best Song & Music Video, and Best Songwriter for my genre. Awarded TCMA 2019 Honorable Mention Award for Best songwriting, “Always Somethin’.”
