I think we as a band, as individuals, understand that all popular music stems from blues and jazz and even pop, but rock 'n' roll especially comes from blues. What we're trying to do is play rock 'n' roll, but other people call it different things.

I got arrested once on stage in Memphis for looking too much like Liza Minnelli.

I've been around the block a couple of times, and the guy I am now is the guy I like to be.

Everything I've done I've just fallen into.

I listen to a lot of different kinds of music.

I still do a lot of shows with Brian Koonin, but we haven't had a full band lately.

When I was a kid, I had some Charles Lloyd records.
