Southwest Airlines® hosted Honey County's Dani Rose on a flight from Nashville to LaGuardia Airport in New York, where she serenaded Customers with Honey County's viral hit "Got It From My Mama," leading into Mother’s Day weekend.
- Rose first connected with Southwest after the airline posted a TikTok sharing Captain Holly Petitt and First Officer Keely Petitt's story to the tune of "Got It From My Mama."
- For a full circle moment and to further honor mothers and mother figures, Southwest’s first-ever mother/daughter Pilot duo, Captain Holly Petitt and First Officer Keely Petitt, piloted the flight for Honey County’s Live at 35 performance.
- Rose met The Petitts outside of the gate area before they boarded this flight and then she stopped at the gate to teach Customers and Southwest Airlines Employees the TikTok dance to "Got It From My Mama."
"When I saw that Southwest used ‘Got It From My Mama’ to celebrate their first-ever mother/daughter Pilot duo, I immediately got teary-eyed," Rose shares. "I love the way Southwest celebrates, and it was an amazing moment.

"I find there is so much beauty getting outside of your home and embracing life. That’s how travel inspires me."
David was born in Houston, TX and grew up in the suburb of Sugarland. While attending college in Dallas, he formed the David Ramirez band, an acoustic folk-pop act. After a stint in Nashville he packed his belongings into his Kia Rio car and hit the road. Without a booking agent or manager, he toured from city to city playing open mics, house shows, and dive bars. It was those experiences that inspired the songs on his first solo release, the 2007 EP, Birmingham, which included an early solo recording of the fan favorite "Fires." Since then David has released albums in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2017. In 2018, David’s songs were featured on notable TV shows, "This Is Us," "Billions," and "The Ranch." David just released his fourth full length album, entitled We’re Not Going Anywhere. The album is an expansive sound influenced by some of David’s favorite 80’s bands like The Cars and Journey, and lyrically reflective of the intense political landscape in America and his bi-racial viewpoints.

"You meet so many people on the road and a lot of those short bittersweet interactions you would have with a passing stranger weave their way into my songs.
Buck Meek’s songs are for the lost dogs of honest mechanics, good guys and girls born into a life of crime, runaways, snow spirits, the ghosts of Central Park, unsung diving-board stars, the affection shared through gambling, and so on. Bred in Texas, more bread in New York City, Meek spins outlaw ballads and quotidian fairy tales into a yarn, with Adam Brisbin on guitar, Mt. Davidson on bass, and Austin Vaughn on drums.
Looking to the past, following his fledgling years as a boy playing gut-bucket blues, manouche jazz, and western swing in bars and dance halls across Texas, he moved to NYC and released two solo EPs, Live from a Volcano (2013), and Heart Was Beat (2015). Shortly after moving to NYC, he met songwriter Adrianne Lenker, and after a year of fervent collaboration, they recorded two EPs, A-sides and B-sides (2014). The duo went on to circle the USA several times over before expanding into a four-piece outfit, Big Thief, and have since released two records, Masterpiece (2016) and Capacity (2017). Buck Meek is a kaleidoscope of human relationships that illuminates mysticism in the temporal, humor unearthed in tragedy, the strength of vulnerability, and the words unspoken that elucidate love.
