“I am so grateful to the universe for putting me where I am. I get to earn a living playing sold-out tours and writing music I love. My first EU tour sold out months in advance, and we have seen such a big growth in listeners over there. AU ticket sales are also picking – Brisbane just sold out! It\u2019s so exciting to be able to get on the road and connect directly with my fans. We\u2019ll be playing \u2018Whiskey\u2019s Better\u2019 on our tours in the EU, AU and UK this year, so learn those lyrics! Thank you to all my fans, family, and friends in the industry for making my career possible.<\/em>\u201d
