How would you describe your sound? I like to call us "Rock'n'Roll", it's all the great genres wrapped in one. Blues, country, R&B, Jazz - that's what makes a good sound in my ears at least. I'm the son of a former DJ, and I was raised on Rock'n'Roll, they covered everything from the Beatles and the Stones to Motown, Stax to Fleetwood Mac, Springsteen and more. If most of those bands/Styles came out today they'd likely be pigeon-holed into some sub-genre...but for me/us, it's Rock'n'Roll! *
What’s your favorite gig/set/tour story memory? Favorite gig was probably Stagecoach back in April, that was an amazing set/gig/stage! We were even on two jumbo screens, so that was a first for us!
Tour wise - it would have to be the tour we did opening up for Chris Stapleton the weeks after he swept the CMA Awards, did a duet with Justin Timberlake and had the #1 record in the country. That whole run was sold out and the biggest room probably held 1,500 people. It was something really special!
Which do you enjoy more, writing a great song or performing a great song? It's hard to decide . . . there is a joy that you feel when writing that isn't like anything else, you've created something out of thin air and you're really happy with it. It's touched you emotionally on some level, and that is something that can never really be understood unless someone else has had that feeling as well. But performing a song live, it can take on a life of it's own . . . once the song is out there in the ether, the people make it their own and react to it. Playing live is one of my favorite things to do, as is writing . . . but playing live and having an audience react and connect, there is something special about that, also. I don't think I could pick one over the other, it would be like choosing between children.
