Right now I really enjoy writing songs.

I think my favorite thing is the mystery of life - it makes you feel that much better about accomplishing something.

I've been in fortunate position of never really having to battle with my record company to do the things I wanted to do in the studio.

It's an honor to win a Grammy, of course.

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.

I've literally become comfortable with approaching whatever style of music at any time.

Right, yeah, you know, my favorite thing just globally about music is just hopefully I'm able to be, you know, blessing the people in any way that I can.
