From there, Michelle and Lave got into his growing career as a country music artist, his recent visit to Nashville, Tennessee to record his first album, and getting to open for the Ron McBride Benefit Concert taking place on June 22.

The show closed on a very emotional note as Lave descibed what it means to be able to give back to McBride after all the love he has shared not only with Lave, but every person he's come in contact with.
