Your house is burning down and you can grab only one thing — what would you save?
Probably my pop’s 1972 Alvarez — it's the oldest guitar I have!
If you weren't a musician, what would you be?
I’ve done everything from slinging dog food and Mountain Dew at a rural Dollar General to driving a forklift for Home Depot. I still have my forklift license … hmm …
How many unread emails or texts currently fill your inbox?
Not many. These days, if you want to get paid and book up a full schedule, you got to be on it. The amount of talent out there is incredible — and you better believe they are working just as hard as you.
What is the one thing you can’t survive without on tour?
I’ve got to have my books — and earplugs (for sleeping in the same room as snoring musicians).
If you had to get a tattoo of someone's face, who would it be?
Keith Richards. I think that's a tattoo that would age unnoticeably when compared to my future developing wrinkles.
Who is your favorite superhero?
Always and forever: The Batman.
The Simpsons or South Park?
South Park!
Dolly or Loretta?
This is an unfair question.
Meat lover's or veggie?
I’m a lover for sure.

Album: Minor Wear EP
Release Date: October 23
In Their Words: "The band and I went into the studio without any expectations and I think this turned out to be our best batch of songs yet. This one is blood and guts. The theme of the EP is just finding self-value in your work and the ongoing pursuit of dreams (classic stuff, really). Influences range from New Morning-era Bob Dylan to the more introspective moments of the Replacements." — Kent Eugene Goolsby
