I cannot count the times that I've started humming "When It Rains" on days that I am feeling down and I'm sporting a frown. I can still feel the passion in "Guinevere" as I set my iPod on repeat and pound out the miles on a treadmill. I will never forget the moment that I stood with my arm around my sister, tears of sisterhood streaming down my face, as the band struck up our song, "Crazy Girl." What about the times we drove down an actual dirt road, in a Ford pickup truck, windows down, screaming out the lyrics to "Even If It Breaks Your Heart." I could go on for days, about every single song since their third album Jet Black & Jealous (2008) --- that is eight years after the band started.

They released a new album this year, Fingerprints, which is every bit as raw as the true-blue fan could hope. Taking the wheel on this album, the band wrote eight out of the 11 tracks including the title track Fingerprints, Never Land, and God Love the Rain.

Sometimes in the music industry (okay in LIFE) you make mistakes, or decisions that you wish you could change. But sometimes you do everything right, go all-in, and everyone you love supports you. Both of these scenarios have happened to Nick and both times, things didn't go as planned. Nick Lynch is here to tell you that he is no victim to past decisions or uncontrollable circumstances. I'll just let him tell you what he's learned and how he's conquering his career today. 

Taylor Swift has been in Denver all week for the trial about her assault in 2013. While I think it is disgusting that this man could bring her to trial over something terrible that he did, I think there are a lot of dirty problems in the music industry that this conversation has brought to light. 

I was lucky enough to go to the trial last week and hear directly from her about what happened. What I didn't expect was the other stories of abuse and bad behavior that arose.
