I feel like the kindest thing that I do to my voice is sing.

The first thing I think of when I think about coming to Las Vegas and playing is always Elvis; its always the first thing on my mind.

So much of the way a singer physically damages their voice could be caused by stress or nerves. I would never be so brazen as to assume that it’s the only problem but there’s got to be a reason that a martial artist can harness enough peace to smash his head through a cinder block without leaving a scratch.

I have vocal trouble from time to time associated with sleep or wine! Or from sleeping in a bunk the size of a coffin and breathing in bus air conditioning all day.

All of these lines across my face, tell you the story of who I am. So many stories of where I’ve been and how I got to where I am.

The oppression of women is the single most corrosive and urgent problem of our time.

Oppression Problem Time
There’s a lot of really inspiring music coming around the bend – we tend to believe that to sound classic or timeless is to sound vintage or retro. It’s a little bit dangerous, because you’ll really miss a chance to make your mark as a generation.
