Ideally the point of music is community, not the player. Musicians are simply channels to link the audience to the music and to each other.

Music has always been my protection against the world, from a very young age. I feel safe inside of a jam.

If there's one thing I discovered since I came back from hiatus, it's that you can't go backwards.

When you're a musician and you break new ground it resonates into the common consciousness.

It's like you're surfing... The same wave that can be a source of pain can be a beautiful flowing grace and source of power. It's all a matter of how you respond to it.

I've been sober for two-and-a-half years, My children are happy. In August, my wife and I will celebrate our fifteenth wedding anniversary. My band is back together with a sold-out tour.

We want to have a spontaneous adventure. You can't plan an adventure, or it ceases to be one.
