When you get just that right audience and just that right sound on stage and you can just sit back and kinda just let it happen and it's not really any work. I love those moments. Nothing can beat that for me.

My dad used to play drums in a country band, and my mom is an incredible singer.

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 probably gone a month or two without playing guitar, just because I've gotten so burnt on it touring all year or whatever.

I've been getting into different gospel artists; Aretha Franklin is someone I've been listening to a lot of.

I have an awesome church home and an awesome Pastor down in L.A., and I couldn't be happier.

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.
