I have a really good band, and just returned from a short tour in California. It hasn't always gone that well.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have such a great band. We had played all this material on the road. I just wanted to let it fly.
So I've had lots of different bands over the years who have stayed with me for certain tours.
Good bands you can kind of lose, then come back and realize they're still good.
Joining another big time rock band was the last thing I was looking for, but as the tour went on, I really dug playing to a lot of people, the band sounded great, and just being out there again, got me over my depression and so I decided to hop on board.
I can't believe we've got away with becoming this huge band. And we still haven't done anything I think is that good yet.
I've been touring for 25 years. I'm used to it, so I love it. Although I feel the tug of home, as I have three little kids, I don't suffer like some artists who constantly complain about how much they hate traveling.
Now I'm fortunate to have a good band in CA, and play many solo gigs as well. My point is that I stopped playing in bands and played solo for four years, to get back into the groove and pulse of writing and singing and who I am on stage.
I'm also performing regularly in Southern California with two bands. As a solo artist doing acoustic sets and a member of the Jenerators, my rock n roll band that has been around for a long time now.
I really enjoy recording right after a tour. We're tired, but the songs are really lived in by then.
I've always just given myself to the band, if you know what I mean, and been busy with that.
