Great art is a regional thing. I'm not saying my art is great. I recognize what I think is great about music is often on a regional level.

I tend to pour myself into my music and I don't have a lot of other places my mind goes, unless it's spending time with family and friends.

I chose to go to Arizona, because it was an opportunity to make something that I've never done. To work with different people and to have a good time when you're recording and to not have the whole thing be some sort of editing process in front of a computer, but to actually try and capture some sort of spirit.

There's a reason that I love this town.

I've had a lot of support from every corner of my life and my audience, to pretty much do close to what I want. I don't have unlimited time or money to execute my wildest dreams but I have enough get up and go to keep me going.

My dad brings a deep-seated knowledge of the British folk genre, and a lot of my love for guitar playing comes from learning from him and his influences, which eventually became my influences.
