      Isn’t that such a great song?? I haven’t been able to make it through a single listen of that song without tearing up. Those lyrics hit home like no other song I’ve ever heard.

I love this young man, and I firmly believe that his music and his wife’s social media is most likely what saved me from the constant tragedies that I went through starting in 2020 up to 6/29/22 that’s the date I thought I was going to die. Because my husband passed away that morning in our bed. I spend a lot of time sitting in my car with save me on repeat at full blast while I scream and cry.

    He's come so far. From doing $10 shows at bars with the bars half empty, to selling out area's. It's so amazing to witness. To see him come this far, has been one of the most amazing come ups to witness. I'm so proud of him, his soul & heart are so unbelievably pure. He has the soul of an angel and deserves nothing more than all the wonderful things he will experience from all this. Thank you for saving me over and over again Jelly!
