Hello Everyone,

Brian here. As we enter this next phase for BDL I want to thank everyone for responding to the announcement with a spirit of optimism and excitement about our next step with the music. Some of the best advice I've ever received was about riding motorcycles-- sport bikes specifically-- and an experienced rider told me, "If you go into a turn at 100mph you better come out of it at 120mph."  I didn't truly understand what he was saying but one day everything snapped into place and I realized the wisdom of that statement  (don't worry, I was going a little less than 100 by the way...).  So as BDL enters this specific curve at 100 we are determined to come out at 120, because-- whatever the obstacles-- we have always promised ourselves and our fans that we will work our butts off to get better and better all the time.     

Since you all are part of our story, and we are part of your story, I want to tell the story of how we found the singer who will move forward with us. In Asheville last December a certain band took the stage, and the singer had my attention from the first note. By the third song I told Joey "If we ever lose Daniel this is our guy." Those were my exact words-- I will never forget them-- so to call it a gut feeling would be an understatement. We see hundreds of bands and singers every year and this is the only guy that I've ever felt could get onstage with us and complete that Appalachian rock sound that we've created... and maybe even take higher. It wasn't too long after that that Daniel told us of his decision. My first thought from the music side was "We have to get Scott Moss to make this work."  We did our due diligence-- we reached out to a lot of people for ideas and we probably discussed 30-40 different singers-- but time and time again we kept coming back to Scott Moss. I think I knew in the bottom of my heart that if we didn't get Scott then we might have to fold up. That's how important it was... and that's why we are so pleased to be bringing him into the Big Daddy Love family.

We have a clip to share that may give you an idea of what Scott Moss will bring to the band on stage, but I also want to also want to tell you something about his character, as that is just as important to us. Scott went to Appalachian State to play football, and anyone who keeps up with college football knows the school is a powerhouse that has won three consecutive national championships. Scott was a center, which is amazing because he's not that big of a guy, and he soon realized that sacrificing his body to play at this level was not in his best interest. Instead of just quitting he played for 2 years to prove to himself that he could do it. When Scott told me this I realized that he has an incredible drive inside him, that he does not back down from challenges and that he is willing to do what it takes to be successful. As we begin this new phase of our journey together it will be vital that we have that dogged North Carolina determination with us. 

We want you, our friends and family, to see why we are entering this next phase with so much confidence and excitement, so here is Scott Moss-- the new lead singer for Big Daddy Love-- doing what he does best: singing his ass off.
