This duo ending is proof to me that Life doesnt often go the way you plan it. Its been a winding journey these last 2 years with the band. At a certain point, it became clear that moving on was the best thing. Ive felt every emotion possible over this, believe me. Thankfully, Ive been able to move through many of these feelings. Now, what remains the strongest in me is gratitude. Being a part of The Civil Wars was a life-changing experience. The music John Paul and I made, the cities visited, the people I met along the way - on stage and off stage. Ill never forget it, and Ill always be thankful. Im taking all the good memories with me. Im stronger, more awake, more inspired than I have ever been. Ready to begin a new chapter. Stepping back into the studio was, and continues to be, thrilling. Writing over the last year has been a great outlet for me - to journey, to release, to play, to experiment, and begin to dream as a fresh chapter unfolds. - JOY
