This song is all about having a crew that you work with that is so great it is easy to sneak out early and hit a bar together and have a blast. I had a crew like that at Atterbury Job Corps, and one day a great friend decided that it would be totally worth the write up to have a drink or two on an extended lunch hour. It was epic. I was so proud of him that I wrote this song. Thank you Joseph Dosterglick, you are an inspiration. Written by J. C. Clements and Patrick Culley.

Super Excited! The video for Liquid Lunches will launch today in celebration of my upcoming gig at the Slippery Noodle Inn, Indianapolis, IN 4/28/23 at 8 pm. I will be playing for #FDIC2023, such an honor to play this venue and with this crew! Spot the two Easter Eggs in the video and let me know the night of the 4/28/23 and I will buy you a beverage! Call me, let me know what you think about the video! 812-360-4400

When #life and #work gets to you, get away from it all with some #liquidlunches with #friends. Nothing beats a great bar, and the Slippery Noodle Inn is one of the best! I wrote this song for my friends from Atterbury, who have a satallite campus in #downtownindy that sits really close to the Noodle. I am so grateful for the family and staff that keep the Noodle thriving, it is the cornerstone of cool in downtown Indianapolis. It is such an honor to play that stage. I couldn't think of anywhere else that would more perfect to have the first release off my new album. Thank you all so much!

Growing up in Indiana @johnmellencamp gave you hope as a musician. He makes you believe that you can play music & be cool & be from Indiana. This means a lot to me, coming from my hometown of Martinsville. Sports are king, arts are not as valued. People constantly are communicating that NO ONE makes a living off music, but we can always point to that THAT GUY FROM SEYMOUR, and really so many more. John has that Hoosier grit and authenticity that I love. His lyrics are pure blue-collar kiss my ass and I love that too. As Americana is gaining in popularity and people are learning more about the backbone of the genre it is wonderful to find more and more people discovering him for the first time and falling in love with him all over again. Here's hoping they do a Hoosier State Showcase @americanafest - we would have a lot to offer for sure. Jason Wilbur, @john_hiatt_music, @michaelclevelandfiddle , @guitsteel (Junior Brown), @carrienewcomer @bigdamnband, the Kinsey Report - the bench is deep. @govholcomb @repandrecarson - can we make this dream happen?? I know you got arts dollars to invest :-) #johnmellencamprocks #hoosierproud #morethancorninindiana🌽 #indianauniversitybloomington #womenofamericana

I was a lucky kid, my grandparent's farmhouse in rural Indiana had so much love & routine, & a real sense of contributing to other people's well being. The building blocks of happiness, I think. Chores = acts of love. Classic country, our soundtrack. This Kitt
