Brian Allison and I first crossed paths in Chicago's music scene, sharing stages before life pulled us in different directions. Years later, at a Nashville conference, I was hanging outside a bar when someone called my name. "I'm Brian Allison. We used to play together in Chicago." That chance reconnection led to weekly online co-writes and eventually Brian's move to Nashville.

"Macon" emerged from our first in-person writing session in years. Brian, myself, and Jake Arthur sat down with nothing but a name – just the word "Macon" - and what unfolded was a story about chasing love to Georgia and finding yourself stranded when it all falls apart.

The track leans into southern-rock/Allman Brothers territory, and I’m so happy it turned out that way (can’t hide those Florida roots).

"Macon" paints an emotional landscape we’ve all navigated: one where love leads us somewhere unexpected and we have to find our own way back….
