I do road gigs occasionally but I don't want to go out on the road for months at a time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I'm doing music and I'm on the road, I love it. But once I'm home, it's very difficult to go back out on the road.
At the moment I have my family coming out with me on the road. We have our own vehicle and it's more like a family vacation. I just stop, do some gigs, and take off. It's a lot more fun now with the family.
Basically, I live to do gigs.
You have to spend a lot more time on the road these days if you want to make a living with music.
I'm doing a lot of touring and things have been really busy for me.
When I'm working in the studio, I like to be on my own because I don't know where I'm going; I want to be completely free to spend lots of time on songs.
I don't have any desire to go back into the studio, and I certainly don't have any desire to go back on the road.
I try to keep performing as much as possible - I just like to. I used to take huge gaps off between gigs, now I just like to do stand-up gigs as much as I can.
The best practice you can get is on the bandstand, but in between gigs I feel I have to stay in shape.
The best thing about being on the road in general is just playing every single night in front of people that are genuinely fans of your music.
