Well, thank you so much.
My name's Kristy, and you might be able to tell from my accent that I am from the south.
I have a true southern accent.
I'm from a little further south, a little place called Mount Barker in South Australia.
And I've been living in Tennessee for seven and a half years now.
And I think I'm only just starting to lose my accent.
I don't think I'm losing it at all, but... My mom just went home.
She was here last week.
She goes, "Do you have any idea what's going on with your accent?"
I said, "No.
What are you talking about?"
She goes, "You flip flop."
But it's a real pleasure to be here tonight.
I want to thank Brandon and the whole team for including us here with a Life of a Musician .
It sure has been fun seeing your quaint little town.
I'm falling in love with Danville every day that I've been here.
I've only been here two days, and I'm already looking at real estate on Zillow.
So, I like...
I really like old Victorian homes.
Old Victorian homes are my friend and not my husband's.
If I bought one, I'm sure he would not like me very much, but that's okay.
But it's a pleasure to be up here with these fine gentlemen and lady.
We might do a song for you now that, um... just been released to radio.
We just did a music video for it which was a whole lot of fun.
I got to get up at the sunrise and then go keep filming at sunset.
Which meant I should have done it in the winter.
That's what it meant.
It was... it was a long day of filming.
It was a very long day, but we had a whole lot of fun.
And this is one of my favorite songs on the album.
It's called Good Morning Moon .
-One, two, three.
