"Music has always been at the forefront of world cultural issues and expression. It could possibly be the best non-aggressive way to express an opinion about any subject. We just want our music to relate with people. We want you to have a good time at live shows and let the music take you away when you need it."

"My sound is based on the traditional blues, gospel, funk, rock. I think all my recordings have bits and pieces, of all those genres. Which I grew up with in my household, continue to rely on them still today."

"Music and literature connect others to the human experience. In my song, "Awake to Love,” I sing about how the world is led by fear and this causes war, destruction and evil. If we focus on love, we can find peace on this earth. When people hear my music, I want them to feel - their beauty, pain or complete joy. I want them to find the strength to walk their own path and to see that their life is art."…

"I think its due to the strong blues societies we have in Canada. So many devoted blues fans who want to see the genre stay in the forefront devote hours of their time volunteering to that end! Running and planning festivals, organizing events, keeping blues societies running and fostering new young blues talent, are all key to generate a following. These devoted folks are the unsung heroes of the blues. Without them, we are…

"I'm definitely thankful to have found a way to share my thoughts and feelings with people. We live in a world where there's plenty to say. I talk about it all; the greed of society, the paradox of what people believe in and the way they act, etc. People can easily identify with those songs or it can just open their minds and explore different ways of thinking."

"Blues and jazz music will always live on even if the renditions change. What's positive about today IS the vast availability of music now at your fingertips. I think it’s easier for people to go back and listen to the musical legacy of the last 100 years. What I like about nowadays is the mixing of so many genres and influences from certain decades, 60's, 70's, 80's etc. People are listening back to things and using those influences and genres and creating…

"What I've experienced from my years as an artist in the Blues circuit, is that it brings people from all social classes, ages and cultures together. Generally I think all music brings people together, but the blues society is more like a big family a bit away from the more commercial music scene."

"I think the role of art in today’s society is to provide a place for people to express themselves artistically and for others to experience those creations and take what they want to from them to enrich their own lives. Sometimes I think of myself as someone who spends more time creating art than consuming it, but when I think of all of the time that I spend each week reading, listening to music or watching movies etc. I realize that it’s not even…

"I think jazz has made its impact through its flexibility and inclusivity, along with its democratic underpinnings. I don’t just mean this in the abstract. If you look at the instrumentation, you’ll see that any and all instruments and styles can be adapted to its improvisational format."

"My hopes would be for the music to stay as real as possible. Much music has become computer music to me. Drum loops that sound like real drums. I say, why not use REAL drums! I don't like a keyboard patch for horns. Auto tune has been used in a way where a duck, cat and a dog can sound like the three tenors! That is what worries me about modern music."

"So be prepared to move on and continue on your chosen path, mostly that’s your only choice. Just be yourself at all times and tell the truth as you see it. Being in all the bands I was in was a lot of fun most of the time, but it takes patience and self-confidence - your inner spirit will often have to survive troubling times, but it’s well worth it, because playing music will always beat doing a job you don’t like."…

"I think there have been times in the past where music has made a real difference to society, and that will forever be inspiring. For me however, I hope that playing this style of music keeps the incredible history of the genre alive today. I also hope that my music brings joy to some people. Playing shows where you can see people smiling, tapping their feet, maybe even dancing? That’s what I do this for! If my songs can provoke something in even a handful…

"The only thing I can say I really miss from blues of the past is the songwriting, specifically the punchlines. I feel like blues these days is all about being or becoming a guitar-god. Nothing gets me more than listening to Seeds of Reed by Buddy Guy and Junior Wells."

Especially with this album that I just put out “Healing Time” it’s really what it is, it’s just a reminder to be kind, be good to yourself, be gentle with yourself first and I think people learn by watching how other people live."
