I just came across this group last year and I can't stop listening to them and catching up. There are a few off the beaten path groups that i have found and I just love their music. I guess it was raising 3 sons. I got out of the Army, and as the sole provider I worked a lot, and at times 2 jobs while going to night school while still going to my kids events, so I had no time to relax. Then in 2017 my injuries in the military caught up to me and I spent 3 years either in the hospital or at home hooked up to IV's. My wife left, I had all 3 of our sons, and music helped me hold my shit together. All the years of making big money, then when I needed her, she was gone. Like I helped cook, clean, helped with the kids, always brought her flowers, gifts, then she left when I was down. The boys were so mad at her, at their ages they saw the big picture. We just all helped each other and hot through it. Now we all go to concerts together and have seen groups like Shinedown, Mumford and Sons, and Breaking Benjamin. I am now 100% VA disabled. I go to counseling to help me with the not working, and the loss in mobility and ability to do some things that I really enjoyed, but learning to enjoy other things. Music has helped so much. I wish I could tell so many musicians a thank you in person. Sometimes being a man is knowing that it is OK to cry. I put certain music on in private at times and just vent things out. It is a huge relief for my soul.
