Just immerse yourself in the culture of the music - it will open some doors for you.

I'm just a restless soul musically.

Some of the best advice I was given was that me doing a bad version of me is better than me doing a good version of someone else.

Nowadays blues in particular has a wide, wide, wide, wide net of everything that's called blues. I think if somebody's coming to it in the last ten years or whatever, or even fifteen years, what their experience is what is called blues is different from mine. I have to expand my range of what's been called the blues. I think somebody who's new to it would have to go back and to see what is called blues now, where it came from. If that makes sense.

Just immerse yourself in the culture of the music - it will open some doors for you.

Just think about it, be honest, how many groups have you heard of in the last five or six, seven, eight years that you never heard of playing live? You never heard of them making a record. You never heard of them in anybody else's band, and all of a sudden they're the biggest thing going. That to me, that's to me social media music. I'm not saying it's right or it's wrong but it is what it is.

Don't try to be someone else. Be yourself.
