The joy of being in the studio is having people being utterly free to throw out their ideas.

I love to write songs and sing them, and I didn't really know much more than that. Somehow it's gotten to the point where a friend can say, "It's very you," and that made me feel good.

I kept thinking, I went to college and I have to get a real job.

20-some years ago, I'd have a big old radio with a tape deck, and I'd hit record and try to get something down on the tape, but nowadays, I can use my handy little smart-phone; I sing into the app for voice memo.

Carry with you maps and string, flashlights, friends who make you sing, and stars to help you find your place, music, hope, and amazing grace.

I feel like politics have always informed what I do. If you know anything about my music, you know I've never been shy about stating how I vote.

I found Elvis on the Internet, I went camping with a young cadet, he showed me his bayonet.
