Eleven! Happy Birthday, Silas. Cannot believe it. Shortly after your mom and I moved to Nashville we found out you wanted to join us in Music City. I like to think that’s when we became a band. Thank you. Love you, son.

If you’re about to encourage someone and then don’t, my question is why? Especially for young artists, it can change everything. A single compliment from my stoic dad about my singing voice in 9th grade was enough to convince me to pursue a career as a singer-songwriter.
