The changing combinations of writing, recording, Songwriting with Soldiers, Patreon and basic life stuff keep things interesting. Growing up, how important was music in your life? It was the center of my house growing up. I majored in music performance on sax but about halfway through college I realized I wanted to write songs.

I used to think about other more financially secure career choices, especially when I was on the road working my ass off making about 3 cents a mile.

What has been the biggest surprise so far about making music your career? What has been an unexpected or welcome challenge to it all? How many ways there is to pursue it. I struggled with self confidence early on and still do sometimes. But every time I do that and I get through it I get a little more confident about everything, musical or otherwise.

When touring resumes hopefully later this year, where are you most excited to perform at? I have a cool list of intimate clubs I visit when I have a new album out. Where are you excited to see an artist perform? At this point, anywhere. Basement East is right down the street and the The Ryman is always an experience.

At the end of the day, what do you hope people take away from your music? I just hope they connect with it, directly or implicitly.

I feel like I left it all out on the field with this one. Posted On 04 May By : Leah. Comment: 0. Photo Credit: John Partpilo.
