I was mainly influenced by the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, and others like Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash.

My guitar is really tempermental. I don't give up on it though, I'm close to my guitar!

I've always written about things that cause me to feel something.

We got CEOs making 200 times the worker's pay, but they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage.

I never set out to write songs about the world around me... it just kind of came about as a result of paying more attention to things.

I honestly don't listen to a lot of music - I spend so much time working at my own music.
