What I do now is all my dad's fault, because he bought me a guitar as a boy, for no apparent reason. ↗

And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I'm doing a clearer representation of the thing that I've been feeling inside me since I was four years old. ↗

I've probably gone a month or two without playing guitar, just because I've gotten so burnt on it touring all year or whatever. ↗

My dad was good friends with the Bad Medicine Blues Band - one of the only blues bands in Fargo, as you can imagine! He took me out to see them play when I was 12 years old and I was really inspired by their guitar player, Ted Larsen. ↗

The early influences, in many ways, were in Baltimore. I was passing open windows where there might be a radio playing something funky. In the summertime, sometimes there'd be a man sitting on a step, playing an acoustic guitar, playing some kind of folk blues. The seed had been planted. ↗

Some people train for certain sports and I want to train to be able to hold a super heavy electric guitar and carry luggage around myself because I always have to have 7,000 pairs of shoes. Who cares about sports? ↗

A guitar riff played on a piano doesn't come close to the purity of it being played on a guitar but I faked it enough to get by. ↗
