I think it's like everything you do is just a reflection of who you are as an artist.
You know, being able to, in my mind, have a song that you know doesn't really have any loose ends or you know, extra fat in it, so to speak.
Who I am musically I hope will just keep changing and changing.
It seemed at first that everybody was more concerned with my age.
With the style of music that I do, I don't think it's at the top of their agenda to push me into doing any compromising material.
My dad was good friends with the Bad Medicine Blues Band - one of the only blues bands in Fargo, as you can imagine! He took me out to see them play when I was 12 years old and I was really inspired by their guitar player, Ted Larsen.
