“The first songs I learned was ‘Crazy’ by Patsy Cline and ‘At Last’ by Etta James. I had been growing up with the Beatles, Pink Floyd, great bands.”

I’m definitely a hair down girl. I’m a fan of the natural, earthy look.

I wish I could get into other shows, but I just don’t have time!

Being body positive is really important to your overall happiness.

My size is a huge part of me.

There are a lot of things that people go through, and maybe they don’t know how to get through it, and maybe you do, and if you have some sort of knowledge or power, share with the world.

Honestly I’m not a huge TV person. The only show that I’ve seen every episode of is ‘Pretty Little Liars.’ It’s my favorite show.

Every Christmas Eve, the elves will come and give us a new pair of pajamas.

You can cry for a little bit, eat some ice cream, but I think, after that, it’s like, get up, listen to some powerful music and do something that makes you happy, be productive.

What you wear onstage is a reflection of your artistry.

You need to experience life to be able to write about friendships, relationships, and heartbreak.

For musicians, Musikfest is the most cool event.

I listen to music to when I’m feeling a certain way or to make myself feel a certain way. So why not make my own music inspired by true emotions?

Singing is about telling a story. When you are onstage, you get to be your own self… When acting, you’re someone else.

It’s hard to see someone with a ‘perfect’ body and be like, ‘Why can’t I be like her?’ But that person was born to be who she is, and you’re born to be who you are.

I’m not quite sure how I would do babysitting.

I live every day, day to day. I will go wherever life takes me. I’m not questioning it.

One thing I love to do is produce. I’ve produced a couple of bands.

The martyr band That hallowed our land With the blood they shed in a tide for us?

When everything is together – the band, me, the audience, it’s boss! It’s just like magic.

Hogslop is the real deal groovilicious honkin old-time string band. Guaranteed old-time awesomeness with these fellas around!

I’m living the dream. I’ve got a big tour bus, an incredible band, a big house, and a family that are all taken care of through my music. I’ve got a beautiful wife and three beautiful kids.

I knew the Beatles songs and how influential they are to other bands, but I’m not a fanatic, so I could look outside the box and observe.

It’s a 360-degree sound experience. Like you’re in the middle of the band. A lot of people have the technology to play the format, so why not put it out there. It sounds great.

My first attempt at real music was when I was 13. My first signed band was when I was 21; that failed. I got another deal at 26; that failed, and then I was broke.
