Like many musicians, it's my roots in music, playing cover songs. I've done probably a lot more covers than the average person who does what I do, but I'm very proud of it, and I do feel like I really bring a lot artistically to these covers.

I make music to process - because I have to, not for praise or accolades or reactions.

When you're a touring musician, you're always turning over new rocks and there's always a certain level of tension in your life.

I wanted to remind people that there was a time when music required an attention span.

The music business, and the travel that comes with it, is stressful, challenging, redundant, exhausting, exciting, and often very depressing.

I'm always moving forward creatively and don't like stalling, trying to find the perfect snare drum sound.

I don't make demos. I don't have the interest or the energy or the time.
