It celebrates diversity, hopefully bridges divides, and understanding for people from different backgrounds. It's a timeless reminder of the power of music to bring us all together."

"My hope for the future is that the Blues gets more attention than it does, even the Grammy Award for Blues is not considered primetime worthy; to me that’s unfair. My fear is programming is the demise of American Blues Music."

"Be kind. Be humble and helpful. Music is so powerful and moving. It is a weighty responsibility to me, like a super power of sorts. Music sinks into your soul through your ears, it touches the places that light doesn’t reach, it can heal and bring you company in the lonely corners of life. We are all just people people-ing around, trying to make a better place for the people to people after we are gone, music is my way of doing…

"It’s all about the song and the songwriter. Without the songwriter, there’s nothing to get excited about. The creative synergy of the songwriters and the tracking band is another important touchpoint."

"The music has put me in places and with people that have greatly impacted me, my life and my career. The music has taught me to listen and think and be creative, but it’s more the places and people that I’ve worked and travelled with because of the music that have had the biggest impact on how I see the world."

"I miss the rawness and soulfulness of the old records, the way they were recorded, the musicianship of the day… And the stories that were told. I fear that people will lose sight of what truly is traditional blues, and the lasting impact it’s had on music made around the world, and how relevant it can still be today."

"In a perfect world, it would be more equitable, but that’s a pipe dream. Like all things in the entertainment world, it’s a “pyramid”; the few at the top make all of the money, and those at the bottom make crumbs. I realize that the ones at the top are generating most of the money, and therefore reap the most benefits. I am grateful for the living I am able to sustain, whether from music, or any of the numerous odd jobs that I’ve…

"Make peace with the blues. Some days are going to beat the hell out of you but it's all part of the tour. Celebrate the craziness that the music experience brings. My life would have been a hell of a lot more boring were it not for the extreme and even at times life threatening experiences I have had. Dance if you feel like it."

"The first thing you want is for people to have a good time. If people have a good time together, a lot of their differences disappear. Most music comes from a certain time and place; and possesses a certain identity. The hope is for a song to embody an identity, but transcend it at the same time. The best country music, bluegrass, hip-hop, and blues music reaches well outside of its original audience."…

"I feel music is the one thing in this world that has the power to translate to anyone and everyone. It brings people together and it is healing. If I can make someone get lost, for even a moment, in the music that I have created, and they can forget about the craziness of every day life, then I feel like that is the most beautiful gift I can give. To get lost in the power of music. We all need more of that."…
