Well, I got married about two and a half years ago, and that's been a big change in my life.

My passion is for playing music and although everyone needs a break sometimes just to keep things interesting and fresh, there's no way I would ever give that up.

If you get raised up having everything you want and then get put out in the world and try to live your own life, you've never had anything to train you how to live.

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 wanted to have something that I was proud of and that I knew people would enjoy.

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 see a lot of parents now who are really supporting their kids playing music.
