Their victory launched them into the national spotlight and established them as one of the era’s most promising new bands. As part of their recording and touring history, Sons of Sylvia worked closely with Carrie Underwood. The group recorded with Underwood on her album Play On, collaborating on the song “What Can I Say”, which became a notable track from the album. In addition to the recording, Sons of Sylvia performed alongside Underwood on major tours, further establishing their presence within the top tier of contemporary country music.
"I was quite impressed by the amount of learnable nuggets that Mandolin player Adam was able to teach me all in one session. His easy going style and approach with his lessons are very welcoming to learn.

I am a former D1 middle blocker with a strong background in high-level indoor volleyball and a passion for developing athletes at all stages of their game. My collegiate experience helped me develop a deep understanding of blocking, offensive systems, and on court decision making which I now bring into each training session. As a coach, I focus on fundamentals, position-specific training, and building confidence, helping players improve both their skills and volleyball IQ.
