Live. Love. Learn. Sing. is 14 songs that are all deeply personal with diverse subject matter than includes life, death, love, suicide, persistence, self awareness, and fate. The lyrics find a way to provoke thought in the listener, often managing to do so with a dose of humor. The music successfully blends elements of blues, folk, rock, and country.

Show me something, touch my soul. Bring a tear to my eye. Make it real; I wanna feel like Iím really alive.
