“Last but not least, Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of our friends and followers who feel like family. Thank you for growing with us, tuning in for every Hoyser Country Monday video, drinking pots of coffee and shots of whiskey with me, coming out to our shows — big, small and all over the map… and for listening to that 5 song Steam - EP on repeat since 2017. I hope this album was worth the wait. You made this possible and I could never thank you enough for that.”
