There are moments in this journey that feel bigger than the stage itself. Winning Best Rock Act at the 2019 JMA Awards was one of those moments—and what happened right after is captured in this video.

Backstage at the Dollywood Theater, the energy was electric. The lights had barely cooled, the applause was still echoing, and I was standing there with the award in hand, trying to process what just happened. This wasn’t just a trophy—it was a recognition of the grind, the late nights, the riffs that wouldn’t let go, and the belief that rock still has something real to say.

This clip isn’t polished or staged. It’s raw. It’s me, in the middle of the chaos, taking it all in. That’s what makes it special—it’s the unfiltered side of a milestone that means everything to me and to the Follow No One Music Club.

Moments like this remind us why we do it: not for the spotlight, but for the connection. For the people who believe in the music, who show up, who share the ride.

So here it is—straight from backstage at Dollywood, right after the win. This is a piece of our story.
