“I have so much respect for those who came before me, and I’ve had a lifelong obsession with both blues and soul… I have so many influences at this point that they all kind of merge together to create my own sound. It’s an amalgamation of so many different influences.“

“I miss how the musicians were more accessible back in the 70's. You could walk into their dressing room because the door was open and strike up a conversation with Buddy Guy and Jr. Wells. I hope the torch will continue to be passed on for the blues to the younger generation. I have faith in the future generations, I fear that we will not be able to pass this beautiful earth on to the children in a healthy…

“Honestly, I think almost all music created in the 20th and now the 21st century has a lot to thank the blues for. It’s hard to find any music that isn’t somehow influenced by blues music.“

“As a band we believe the blues genre isn’t doing enough to attract a younger more diverse audience. With these new songs we kept the blues at their core, and expanded it with rock, soul, funk, and an “in your face” sound.”

“Blues is the root, the blueprint of rock n roll, soul, hip hop, everything. It’s the sound of survival, of struggle, and of truth. Preserving it means keeping those stories alive. I think there are many roles that music plays in today's society; It brings people together from all around the world, brings laughter and joy and is a sturdy friend that you can always lean on.”…

“Music’s role in society is to bring people together through commonality/community, and the way to truly do that (in blues or any other genre), is to get back to basics and tell a solid, relatable story. I often introduce my guitar to the audience as a ‘life story machine,’ and it is. When those stories connect, it’s magic.”

"There are so many varieties of music today that I think there is something for everyone. I hope that people who listen to my records understand the importance of living the human experience. Life is short so embrace it all, the good and the bad. Without hard times, we can’t appreciate the good times, so I try to approach music with that same self-reflection and a little humor mixed in. Hopefully that concept is something the listener can connect with. I’ve…

"The balance between technique and soul is an important component of the blues. You have to have technique to execute the performance and you have to have soul for the music to be felt. So, in a strange way you only want to get so proficient on your instrument. Too much technique will take away from the music. Soul comes from experience and the more you have the more soulful your sound will be."…

“However, I prioritize soul – technique is only a tool for expressing emotions and feelings. I don't focus on correctness and consistency; I'm interested in developing and discovering new possibilities for the instrument as my means of expression.”

"Music and art are always moving. The artists who created the blues of the past lived very different lives from those today. It is truly mind blowing this awesome music that came out of such hard times, deprivation, struggle, racism, and so on. WOW. One of America's greatest art forms was created by people who were among most overlooked, oppressed, discriminated against and terrorized. I think blues music is so powerful in it's power to transcend,…

"It is about having your health. Feeling good and your body working well enough to make music. Music is very physical, takes a lot to play and instrument and sing. Life can be a struggle and people use drugs, liquor and bad relationships to cope. That stuff just breaks you down and you can't go on. Your music and voice is not as good if you do not take care of yourself."
