You make your music, then you try to find whatever audience is out there for it.

I want the audience to be so involved in the sweep of the music.

I want to write music that's going to appeal to everyone.

Music is a performance and needs the audience.

There are always new things to experience, internalize then write about. This process is ongoing with me. It never stops. The opportunity to reach new audiences with all of the music that we have made is thrilling.

Our idea is simply to play the songs and to emphasize our musicianship.

Bear in mind that you are not making music for your own pleasure, but for the pleasure of your audience.

I think, in music, you're always hoping that you'll have a like-minded audience and that the music you like making will appeal to them, too.

We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum.

Main thing, really, is I write songs the way I wanna hear them and the way I think the people that come to our shows wanna hear them.
