We have our roots in country, and that's our foundation, but we pull from a lot.

At the Grammys, you walk down the halls and everyone's got five security guards. You can't talk to anybody. You always feel out of place, like, 'Hey, the rednecks are in town!

We all love to sing, and when we sit down to write a song I think it kind of shows itself to us.

To me the bottom line is: good music is good music.

I've always been drawn to city skylines.

Mumford and Sons and Adele are both incredible artists and are great for popular music. There's a lot of club music with heavy beats, so to have that Mumford record and hear banjos being used is so cool.

You look at Michael McDonald and people like that; I think they just tried to write music that was true to themselves. That's our bottom line. Whatever people view us as, I think as long as we try to create good music that will win out in the end.
