Thanks to: Zac Upton for his patience, advice, friendship, and constant push to make this record the best it could be, The Great Expectations for their incredible musical talent and their unwavering support of this project, my family for loving me and encouraging me in all of my musical endeavors, my friends in Montevallo, Birmingham, and anywhere else with smiling and encouraging souls that have given me support, my brothers in Alpha Kappa Lambda, the University of Montevallo for giving me a space to grow and mature as a person and musician, Mosaic Birmingham for a fantastic community, the Alabama music scene for inspiring me with its amazing local bands, songwriters, and artists, anyone who has ever come to a show or just listened to a few songs, and God for giving me the situations (both the good and the “bad”) that inspired the lyrics and music of this record. Let the thrill of hope enthrall us.
