I think the Flecktones are a mixture of acoustic and electronic music with a lot of roots in folk and bluegrass as well as funk and jazz.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was always looking for evidence of these common musical roots, but I was too young to know that what I was doing was called ethnomusicology.
When I hear bluegrass today, I hear so many new sounds in it. It's almost like country music in a way.
We've always described our sound as a bit more guitar driven than normal pop music. Kind of Pink in a boy band form. We've heard a few people say that so now we use it. I think Pink is amazing person to be compared to.
Jazz music by its very nature is just a conglomerate of a lot of different kinds of music.
Music is about textures as well as melody.
That's one wonderful thing about country music - it shifts, ebbs, and flows stylistically, unlike pop music.
Bluegrass is wonderful music. I'm glad I originated it.
Folk-punk artists like This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb or Paul Baribeau were popular in the Florida punk community. I saw people early on combine roots music with more aggressive music.
I think the great country songs mixed with some of that bluegrass instrumentation - and surrounding all that with a little bit of a rock vibe and energy - is the kind of music I make.
I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.
