I'm always making a conscious effort to be viable and accessible.

I'm glad I can do both full-band electric and solo acoustic performances. It's nice to have contrast, so if you get fed up with one, you can just switch to the other one. It's great to go to a town and play an acoustic show, and then you can come back a year later and play electric, and the show's really fairly different. The repertoire will be 50 percent different. The musical energy is completely different.

There are only three white blues singers -- Geoff Muldaur is at least two of them.

It's fun to sing sad songs. And it's fun to listen to sad songs. Enjoyable. Satisfying. Something.

Amplifying acoustic instruments more than a little is really cheating, and everything becomes a compromise.

I try to make songs visual and tactile to kind of put you into the action.

All audiences should be slightly off balance.
