I’ve got a couple of friends from Australia here that we’ve been on the water the last few days, which has been really nice here. Yeah. When you live in Nashville, it’s always nice. The waves are always better here than they are in Nashville. Right? Non-existent. Exactly. Yes. Yeah. Good day, it’s Morgan Evans and you’re watching Billboard News.

I said this on stage the other night actually. And growing up in Australia. It’s not like you know the names of many American venues. But you know, Madison Square Garden is one of those, Hollywood Bowl, one of those Red Rocks, one of those and the Greek theatre is one of those and it’s my first time getting to play there and it lived up. When the sun goes down. It’s just people. The words and music it’s unreal.
