Q&A

By Adrienne Bommarito

Thursday, September 6, 2007

Where are you from originally?

“I was born in San Francisco, but grew up in Greenville, Texas.”

How long have you been playing, singing and writing your music?

“All my life. I started playing the drums when I was seven, piano when I was eight and guitar when I was 10. My dad was a drummer.”

What is your favorite song that you’ve written and why?

“There are three or four songs that if I never write a song again I’m happy that I wrote those: ‘On My Way,’ ‘Thirteen’ and ‘Lizzy.’ I just love the lyrics.”

What’s your favorite city to play in?

“Austin, Texas. I just love that town.”

Do you get nervous when performing? What do you do to relieve your nervousness?

“Oh yeah. I just get on stage. That’s the quickest way to break the nerves.”

Do you have any weird or quirky things about you?

“I like twang. It’s a salt made in Mexico. You put it in your hand and lick it. I also really like pickles and beef jerky. I like weird-tasting things.”
