How he was discovered: After a showcase at the Wildhorse Saloon: “I got off stage and this guy walked up to me. He’s like this ball of energy. His name was Lawrence Mathis, a manager. He said, ‘I like what you’re doing, and I’d like to talk to you. What are your plans? What are you doing?’ I said, ‘You caught me at a bad time, because I’m probably moving home in a couple of months.’ But I met with him that next Monday and told him what was going on. He said, ‘Give me a year to work with you.’ I said, ‘I don’t have a year. I’ve got six months, at best.’ He said, ‘All right. Six months.’ Five weeks later we got offered a deal from Broken Bow.
