Why this name?
It just me.
Do you play live?
I love to play live; it is where you really get to connect with your audience. I have played all over the country and there are so many special moments I don't think I could narrow it down to just one.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet has had a huge impact on the way the music industry works. I know kids that the web is there whole connection their favorite bands. I think you will see more and more impact as time goes by.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I don't think so. It is not what I am after. I would never just say no, but it would have to be just the way I want it. I am more interested in connecting with other indie artist. I would be more interested in a mid-to small indie label that would be more aware of my need and limitations.
Your influences?
Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, James Taylor, Garth Brooks, John Prine, Merle Hagard, Willie Nelson, CCR, Bob Seger, The Eagles, Dan Seals, Gordon Lightfoot, Dave Loggins.
Favorite spot?
Anywhere is the States.
