Stolen Gibson Hummingbird guitar! Stolen in Lockhart, TX. Please share far and wide so we can return this very special guitar to the wonderful and one and only @jennmiorihodges . This is heartbreaking and this guitar just has to make it back to Jenn. Here is a pic of us at the Opry with it and Jenn is playing it on my latest single "Somewhere Between TX and TN". Details: Serial #A35000 and it has an orange label and wear around the sound hole. Thanks for your help in the search!

Today! "Somewhere Between Texas and Tennessee" is now streaming everywhere! From my new album 'Borned In Ya', to be released July 19 with @thirtytigers ! Link in my bio to Preorder. I wrote this song with @brennenleigh and we took this picture of us at a gas station when we were passing each other going opposite directions on Highway 30, somewhere near Texarkan. Thanks so much to Ally Hardgrave @scoutd.co for getting this video in the studio @bombshelterstudio ! Thank you so much to @jennmiorihodges for singing and playing guitar on this track! And thank you @mrbigbass Dennis Crouch on bass and @chrisscruggsofficial on steel, Andrija Tokic-- engineer!

We sho had fun out there! @bettercalltheo @t.bo_art It looks like we will all make it home to Austin, TX, though the border patrol were fond of Theo and Thibault and wanted to keep them for a bit. 😂 Thanks everyone for coming out to the shows and the hospitality!
