“I like to write at home a lot.” — Rodney Atkins

I grew up playing music and enjoying good food, friends and family in my own backyard.

The way I started playing music was sitting around with friends and singing songs. I love good ol' fashioned guitar pulls.

I don't take a second for granted of the honor of representing country music.

It's really hard to find a love song that is real. That's when you really strike a chord with somebody, when you dig in deep and grab a hold.
