I learned the songs and played the gigs, and then they called me about a month later. They told me they were like super stoked on me and asked me to join their band.

The rest of the band were basically friends, So it was me following them around and begging them to let me be in their band for two or three years. And they finally let me in on the harmonica, actually, and then the keyboards, and finally the guitar.

Bands always call me when they are in need of a boost and I come in and put them back on top.

Sometimes I don't want to be in the confines of what a band seems to provide.

I would've loved to have been in a band, but sadly I just wasn't good enough.

After a while I thought it didn't make any sense to use a pick. It's kind of like typing with one finger on each hand instead of using all your fingers.

So, I just kind of played the way I played and then eventually we kind of figured out what worked best for the band. So, I definitely changed my stuff up and I think we're playing really tight now.

I think it's always a mistake when you start connecting a band to a personality. You begin to limit what you're able to do.

When I moved to New York, I had to let my band know that I couldn't play anymore, and that was difficult to leave that behind.
