I really feel there's no limitation on what this band can do in the studio or on the stage. That's an empowering feeling - that we can bring a song to life.

My head works in music, so there's always music there.

My family owns a music store in Claremont, California, called The Claremont Folk Music Center.

The advice I have for new artists is this - write great songs and play them live as often as possible. Get residencies all over town and crush it.

I don't know how to not become every person I walk by.

There's only one proper way a song should go, but you've got to be patient enough to let them come together time wise. Sometimes it's lightning in a bottle and you got the song. But oftentimes it shows up.

I've never made a record that didn't sound better than what was in my head - that's sort of my rule.
