I have a deep rooted folk sensibility that I can't get away from completely.

I definitely don't subscribe to the theory that more instruments, or more vocal tracks, harmony, or double tracking the voice, is a good thing. People do their early albums very stripped down, then each album becomes bloated.

I never thought people would be mortally offended by the sounds I was making.

I wanted to write songs which I think is a different thing. I wanted to write music that is informed by folk music. The chord progressions are obvious references.

I have a deep rooted folk sensibility that I can't get away from completely.

I'm not a wanderer, which is funny because I'm on tour half the time. I'm a home, hearth and family kind of person.

I can't play my songs on the smaller harp. I have a Celtic harp. I can't do the key changes.
