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?
We actually were on tour in the Northeast part of the US. You could tell things were starting to come to halt, but we kept going as long as we could before we cancelled the remainder of our tour and came home six days before nation wide lock down.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
To be honest, other than touring it has been great for us! We have been able to grow rapidly on our socials and stay in our home studio producing music for the remainder of 2021. The amount of new material that has stemmed from being on pause is crazy! Overall, We are missing meeting new people every night, but counting down the seconds until we can be back out.
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?
Mostly working in the studio ten times the amount we were before covid. For the mental health side of things: taking walks, video games, anything to distract from the overall idea of what is going on.
How are dealing with the Covid second wave?
At first it was very difficult and disheartening to know we weren't getting out of this thing fast enough, but now it seems like we are only months away from being back to some what normal. So, I would say hopeful now!
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Discovering Starlite Sessions as a whole! We recently found the "Digital Venue" and think it is incredible what you are doing for the music community as a whole!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Stay positive and hopeful! The future is bright and we are closer than ever to getting back to normal. Our wish is that as we do, we value and never take for granted what we so easily did before.
Also, we would absolutely love to hear from all of you, so reach out on our socials!
