We should be learning from other countries...

Because it's opposite world when Trump and Republicans are in charge.

Zohran Mamdani: "A democratic socialist politics … can flourish anywhere because, frankly, there is only one majority in this country — that's the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what it is that we're pursuing and not as part of the appendix."

Two great days at Boot Barn in Westminster, Maryland Grand Opening!
Really appreciate everyone who took a minute out of their shopping to listen—it means more than you know. #countrymusic

That's for sure. He is definitely not American citizens first.

Something new is on the way… My upcoming single “So I Won’t” tells the story of temptation, promises, and the strength it takes to stay true to your word. We’ve all faced moments where our heart pulls us one direction, but we know the right thing to do is another. Sometimes the strongest decision is simple: “Because I shouldn’t… so I won’t.” 🎧 Pre-save the song now and be ready when it drops. #NewMusic #CountryMusic #MikeKuster

Trump is asking Congress for even more money for war, offset by billions in cuts to domestic and social safety-net programs.

It makes this 1970s anti-war PSA all the more relevant today.

If you’ve ever supported my music—streaming, coming to shows, or just spreading the word—this is a big way you can help right from day one.

Each show is a little different—full band, stripped-down acoustic, and everything in between—but they all come with the same goal: great songs, good times, and connecting with you. #countrymusic #singersongwriter

🎤 April Shows & Events
I’m bringing the music to some great spots this month, including:
April 10 & 12 – Boot Barn Grand Opening (Westminster, MD)
April 18 – Vanish Brewery (Leesburg, VA) with The Catoctin Cowboys
April 19 – Linganore Winecellars (Mt. Airy, MD) – Solo acoustic set

Remember:

The reason Trump was allowed to levy tariffs on the whole world is because almost every Republican in Congress voted against stopping him.

And the reason he’s able to wage war with Iran without input from anyone is because almost every Republican in Congress voted against stopping him.

🎸 Why Physical Music Still Matters (And What You’re Really Supporting When You Buy Direct) There’s something about holding music in your hands. Maybe it’s opening up a CD and flipping through the liner notes…Or dropping the needle on a vinyl record and hearing that first crackle before the song begins.Or even just walking up to the merch table after a show, shaking hands, and taking a piece of that night home with you.
