Kruse Allegra was born September 19 at 10am. She was a chunker just like Zion, weighing in at 8lbs 2oz. Ben and I actually had a bet going on her weight, and I nailed it dead on. I wanted music playing during the delivery process, and the amazing All Childrens’ nurses decided on Pink - a perfect choice I thought. The delivery room was bumping! So Kruse is here, and she is cuter than cute, hates being cold (like her Mama), loves being snuggled by her Daddy, and is already super protected by her brother. Life is good!

The Tampa Bay Rays found themselves in the playoffs after the most exciting day in baseball. "The last day of the regular season was an unbelievable experience for the fans and the players. It was the craziest day of baseball that I've ever been a part of. It was an emotional roller coaster, culminating in the most shocking entrance into the playoffs ever by any team in the history of the game, making it a day I will never forget. It was a tough loss, especially after becoming one of the most improbable cinderella stories."

Atlanta Fest was definitely a "moment" for me as an artist. I grew up watching other performers on festival stages, as I was dancing in the grass, accidentally kicking over my lawn chair while I would sing along to their songs as loudly as I could.

In college, I worked with artists and would watch them perform from backstage. I would be trying to play it "cool" and not make a fool out of myself while I was singing along. So to get to be the artist this time was an amazing experience because I could feel the energy of the more than 8,000 people there, remembering my own experiences watching festivals. Even during the soundcheck to see people walking by and then stop to jam with us was a blast for me.

I've always been pretty confident that I could be in a closet performing and be equally as in to the music as when people are watching. But after Atlanta Fest I'm not so sure! The fans were so electric and so alive, it felt as if I was best friends with them all. The highlight for me was walking off stage to my table and a having a line out the tent of beautiful people that I got to hug and talk about life with. Your stories are my inspirations! So thank you Atlanta Fest!
