I became interested in folk music because I had to make it somehow.

I don't think of myself as a folk singer per se, but I really like blues and string-band music. When I started listening to records when I was a teenager, the folk boom was going on.

I was reared on folk music.

I'm a folk artist at heart.

When I think of folk music, I think of topical songs. And I don't write topical songs.

Folk is bare bones music.

Yeah, I always listen to both classic and newer folk-influenced music. Singer-songwriter, alternative music. I also listen to more experimental dance music.

I got hooked into folk music by accident, because that's what white college kids liked when I was a child.

I don't really know what 'folk music' means anymore.
