Back when I started music

it wasn't uncommon to get like a flatbed trailer and have a band

party somewhere in a field or a tractor shed somewhere

that one of my buddies had and we'd park some cars at the gate.

We just kind of had to create ways to do shows

and so when I moved to Nashville I started thinking about

how fun those moments were you know out there in those fields

on those old backroads and I said,

"Hey, it'd be fun to kind of take a stab at this on a bigger level"

♪ My daddy spent his life lookin' up at the sky ♪

♪ He'd cuss kick the dust, sayin' son it's way to dry ♪

And I remember going to shows as a kid and I was always amazed at.

I always wondered what was going on backstage

and I'd always see all the people working

and I would certainly dream of that scenario one day

What if that were me one day?

♪ Rain is a good thing ♪

It's still very surreal that it is me and that

I get to do this for a living.

I try to get on stage every night and never

take that for granted because it's something that

is pretty special to me.

♪ Welcome to the farm ♪

♪ Where you can roll your windows down ♪

Farm tour is a special time of year. It's.

I just love the aspect that a lot of these communities

setting up a stage in the middle of a field

and all of the pieces of the puzzle that must come together.

It's one of the biggest things that they have happening

in that community for a long time.

And watching the fans and watching the people tailgating

out there and getting really excited about the

whole farm tour experience is pretty special.

♪ Let's get tangled in the tassels of some ten foot corn ♪

I got used to doing the EPs with the spring break album

and once we didn't do the spring break I kind

of really missed it and so hey I said,

"Hey, let's start doing a farm tour EP"

and I have enjoyed it. It's.

Nothing is more fun than writing songs

and creating new songs and it's just me trying to

find some fun country songs that seem to embody

what we want to do on this EP and I am excited

where we are on the first round of this thing.

♪ Talk about an uphill battle, ♪

♪ two thousand acres of beans and cattle ♪

I hope when people hear "Here's To The Farmer"

when a farmer hears that he's really inspired by that

and I think growing up in a farm and family

and community and "Here's To The Farmer"

just it says a lot what I would love to say

to all the farmers out there that do work so hard.

♪ Just tell him how far he's gotta go and he'll go farther ♪

♪ Here's to the farmer ♪

I think you can hear that song and certainly

know that it was one that I wrote and something

that you know I wrote from certain life experiences.

♪ Thank you boys ♪
