Things have gone beyond my wildest expectations and dreams, and I feel like I've been given so many blessings in my life, between my friendship with the guys in the band, our wonderful audience, being able to play this music, and then my family.

The biggest sacrifice to me is to not be in an atmosphere where I can keep writing and moving forward.

I understand that transposing a song a half step can effect the believability of a lyric.

My life was a complete catatrophe. I was very, very sick from drugs and alcohol.

I'm not trying to pull the rug out from under anybody, but the music really does tell you where to go.

As long as your intention is pure, and you know what you're in it for, then you're alright. And I'm in it because I enjoy it. I take it seriously... real seriously. I mean I could sit and talk all day about the music.

I’ve always loved the experience of working together with other people toward an artistic goal.
