Johnny Moeller of the Texas Headhunters: We (Jesse Dayton and Ian Moore) all really love blues, soul music, rock and roll, all the things we talk about. We've all come from a different place. But we are all really tied around the blues. It’s that common thread.

Bernie Barlow: Lily (Wilson) had received a phone call from a dear friend whose mother had passed away. They said they never had enough time because the doctors gave her nine months to live, but she only made it three. I said, “Lily, my mom’s 92. I still don’t feel like it’s enough time.”

“Relentlessly upbeat and optimistic, ‘Born To Dream’ is for those who keep their heads in the clouds, forever searching for something special beyond the hamster wheel.” - Andy

Jesse Dayton: I always keep my gratitude higher than my expectations. There have been a few times where we've been on weird bills, where people are like, “What is this guy doing?” Then halfway through it they're bobbing their heads to the music and we've converted them.

"Sometimes you need to have really felt emotion in order to emote to people while you’re singing. I’m a better singer than I was 25 years ago because I’m a mom. I had this huge experience of making a human being and watching them grow. That changes everything." - Bernie Barlow

"We listened to a lot of the same records growing up, but we each found different angles. I think when you listen to the record you can hear three different personalities. That said, I can tell that all three of us grew up musically in Austin." - Ian Moore of the Texas Headhunters
