and join me now country music star parker maccallum, he's performing at the commander in chief ball tonight, so good to meet you. you major big debut at the grand old opry, just a few years ago. would you ever imagine performing on a stage like this now? >> you know, i guess i kind of always had it in the back of my mind a little bit but me and my guys have been so blessed and we feel like we've earned every stripe that we have, and try to continue to do so, so, i try never to let the moment get too big, act like you've been there, like my dad always tells me, tonight is no different. there are definitely some nerves with all the hype about everything but we are honored to be here. >> my dad used to say, i've been to plenty of places like this, always have that attitude. but this is an inaugural ball, carrie underwood, the legend of her own rights, said she was humbled to answer this call, how are you feeling tonight about this opportunity, how did it all come about, anyway? >> my brother-in-law, and my sister own the company called tech strategies and they are based out of austin, texas bu
