I believe it is not the role of the federal or state government to deny us the right to make our own reproductive choices. Rather, it is the government’s charge to protect this right from any agency that might attempt to revoke it. -me.

Facts-.1. I was a side player for the first half of my musical life. Billy Joe convinced me that I was a real songwriter (based on two songs) and I should move to Nashville. 2. I was working for Billy Joe the first time Jason saw me play.📷- @NateBurrell_

Recently, I had an ectopic pregnancy ( or as grandma would call it, a tubal). On August 9, 2021 my fallopian tube ruptured. On August 10, my life was saved…these are some dark days.

For those that ask why I am at some @JasonIsbell shows and not others. For those that ask if I’ll be at this or that particular show, this is my answer.

You're missing the whole point of live music when you go to a show & watch through your phone. Don't be a DINGUS.

I think it’s funny when some ding-dong says “Stick to music, liberal.” I’m like “Hell yeah, Steve. You got one thing right today. And thanks for noticing. And more than likely I’ll keep sticking to music too.”.

Bobbie Nelson was one of the first women musicians that I ever saw on stage. She was the first example I had of a woman playing music while also having a family. I’m honored to have known her. My deepest sympathies to the Nelson family. 📸 @jblackdub @ArlynStudios

Abortion isn’t a tough decision. It’s tough to deal with being targeted. It’s tough not having anyone to talk to about your health situation or thought process. #imonyourside.
