Quotations:
“…No social distance, no masks, just a real-life concert the way it used to be. I mean…I don’t even know what that’s gunna feel like.” – @troycartwright
“I did not grow up a huge Country fan.” – @troycartwright
“I did not want to go to college, I had no interest in it, I just wanted to play music.” – @troycartwright
“It doesn’t have to be the hook of the century with the greatest Country twist you’ve ever heard to be a great song, sometimes just the simple truth is the right thing for the song.” – @troycartwright
“I think I relate to that sort of degenerate sadness, it resonates with my soul.” – @troycartwright
“It always works out. No matter what and it may not be what you wanted or it may look different or take longer, but it always works out.”

Guest’s Bio:
Troy Cartwright is a fascinating mix. Certainly a product of Texas’ rich heritage of dive bars and honky-tonks, he’s also a Berklee trained musician, a one-time youth worship leader, and an all-around good guy. Part of what makes his music so compelling is his heart, and the way he views the world around him: always something to take apart and understand, to bring his sense of grace to turning points, difficult moments and the thrill of being alive, in love and on fire.
