I have always loved the sounds of surf music. The Beach Boys were a staple on the oldies station that my dad listened to when we were on the road.

Here is a catchy southern rock song that is currently running through Christian radio. Emerson had her first stint on Christian radio when she sung on Micah Tyler’s People Like Me. Her background is a lacrosse player and a degree in Homeland Security per the New Release Today bio on her. She reminds me of a singer whom I worked her mech booth a year ago now called Anne Wilson.

Every video showcases his musical talent and his lyrics are as real as they get. Be sure to check out his latest EP Exit 9B which released yesterday.
