Keith Urban put it best saying, “What I love about your performances, they always hold my attention. It’s very raw and it’s fragile. It’s very real. You don’t ever phone it in, you’re always in the moment…man I love your artistry.” <br /> <br /> His lyrics always come from the heart but it’s the way he delivers them that truly captivates people.
