Michelle also shares the unexpected story of how Cannons first came together and how that foundation helped them grow into the band they are today.Along the way, we dive into life on the road, the pressure that comes with growth, and the burnout that forced the band to pause and reset. Michelle opens up about that experience and how it ultimately led to a more intentional approach to both music and life — themes that are woven throughout Everything Glows.At its core, this conversation is about finding the light within yourself during difficult moments and recognizing the growth that comes from pushing through them.🎯 We get into:🎶 Staying true to their sound and creative process 📀 The unexpected Craigslist story behind how Cannons formed 🚐 Building a career independently before signing a record deal 🔥 The breakthrough Netflix moment that changed everything 🧠 Burnout, boundaries, and finding balance on tour ✨ The meaning behind Everything Glows and finding light in dark timesIf you’re drawn to artists who build their sound on their own terms and find meaning through the highs and lows of the journey, this episode is for you.To learn more about Cannons and find current tour dates, click here.--------------------Did you know Metro Atlanta has 200+ concerts EVERY WEEK!
