[cheers and applause] - I'm gonna, uh, change it up right here.
I'm, uh- been writing a lot of songs lately and I, we just put out the, the two records kinda back to back last year.
And, uh, just put out the acoustic album called, "Fireside."
It's both the Cowboys record and a singing record together.
And, uh, in the middle of all that we just did a show, uh, with a guy named Dierks Bentley at Red Rocks in Colorado.
[crowd cheering] And, uh, after the Red Rocks show I went to a little cabin in Rollinsville, Colorado with, ah, Watt Coven and Oscar Charles, my producer.
And we wrote nine songs in three days.
And, uh, I'm not on a record label anymore.
And, uh, so I kinda do whatever I want, and, uh, we've kind of- [crowd cheering] Yeah.
But, uh, we wrote this record on accident and I was like, "Man, let's put another one out."
And, uh, these songs I played them live at the Bluebird.
It's the only time I ever played these for anybody.
And, uh, this is a brand new song.
It's the title track of the next album I got coming out early next year, it's called, "Eldora."

[applause and cheers] - Harold and Bernice were my grandparents' names on my mom's side.
And we took their story, took their names, and kind of fictionalized it.
It kind of paints that perfect picture of what it looks like for a couple who grew up in World War II, and, uh, kind of what could happen.
When they meet over there and, ah- Yes, it's loosely based off my grandparents- Very, very, very loosely based off my grandparents.
[crowd laughing] My mom's gonna hear this and be like, "What the hell?"
[strum guitar] It is one of my favorite songs ever written.
It's called, "Circa 1943."
[guitar strums] That's good.
