I think it's awesome to see people of all different ages from all kinds of backgrounds come together for the love of music.

After every concert, I greet young people in the lobbies. And I see a huge surge of young people playing music.

When I look into the crowd, I see young and old, black and white - it's amazing that I'm able to connect with so many different kinds of people.

I'd say we do reach somewhat of a younger audience, but I think for the most part that younger audience is picking our music up from a brother or sister or even parent, who is turning them onto the band.

I grew up with music hall and revue and was used to filling in the little gaps here and there to get bigger audience reaction.

I regularly go to concerts with my children sharing the music.

There is always a mix of apprehension and excitement before you try songs out on a new audience.

At first it was kind of hard, because I had become used to just my phone screen in front of me. But sharing your songs with an audience is incredible.

When I go to see people, I always kind of hope they are going to play some kind of songs I know. So you've got to know your audience. It's kind of something that is a blessing and a curse in a way. You're obligated to play some of that stuff that people know, but I don't think that's all you have to do.
