I get diminishing returns when I bore myself in an interview.
From Ben Harper
My main concern when travelling around the world is finding a place to skateboard!
That happens every time I get behind a guitar, regardless of what I'm saying, 'cause music is freedom and being free is the closest I've ever felt to being spiritual.
The advice I have for new artists is this - write great songs and play them live as often as possible. Get residencies all over town and crush it.
You're definitely a different person at different stages in your life.
Sometimes I think to talk too much about music almost cheapens it.
If it comes out sounding like Dixieland jazz or classical or punk or rock or even slightly metal, that's because that's where I'm going to find inspiration.
Folk is bare bones music.
The only way that you can find any semblance of a rule, or make any semblance of your own rule, is to tear up the rulebook. Throw it out, burn it, throw it away, and make your own rules.
When it comes to writers and poets, for me it's Vinicius de Moraes. He's one of the greatest lyricists ever.
