In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was 6, I started playing violin because a cool kid named Chet was playing it. In high school, I joined my two lifelong best friends in starting a punk band, where I fell in love with writing and performing original music.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Pedro the Lion, Achilles' Heel (Remastered) The Format, Interventions and Lullabies mewithoutYou, Brother, Sister Brother, Sister is the pinnacle of lyricism and emotive heft from mewithoutYou. The Format was a breath of fresh air in the early 2000s, and Pedro the Lion for all the lyrical flow and simple melodies.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “damn it feels good (to be a gatekeeper)” I wrote this song after a few bad experiences with show-runners and online money-grabbers who want you to pay for a broader reach. It just fell out of me, and I love the melody and lyrical simplicity that still tells a deeply relatable story.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I think what makes my 25 years in music-making so special are the relationships I have made with other artists along the way. There's nothing like hosting a showmate after the show to solidify a lifetime of good friendship.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I always have grand plans for my music. I would love to hear my music in a movie montage, or between segments on NPR. You know, the bigtime success of NPR.
