With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
I was actually on a headline tour. The last show I played was a small, but sold out show, in Atlanta. I still remember heading back to Minnesota and wondering why everyone was at the Wal-Marts buying up all the toilet paper!
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
My favorite thing to do is tour, so in general it just made life a little more boring. I look forward to playing shows, so when everything got shut down it became somewhat difficult to look ahead at "what's next."
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home? How are you supporting your mental health through all of this?
Making music has always been therapy to me, so honestly I have been doing pretty well mentally during this time. I have made some of my best music while sitting inside. It gave me more time to appreciate the little things in life, for sure.
As things are reopening & restrictions are lifting have you booked any new gigs? Tours? Etc? If your region is still under restriction, how are dealing with the Covid third wave?
I am playing a tour this October, then have a tour planned for February and March of 2022. Fingers crossed! As I type this I am in Moscow, playing a show here and St Petersburg this month! Just taking life one day at a time and doing what I can to stay busy.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
The Real Mckenzies was a good one. High energy and the kilts always kill it haha.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Everyone reading this should know that they have a purpose. Life is about finding that purpose and chasing that dream. Everyone matters and it just takes some effort to figure out what you are meant to be on this earth for.
