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 working my day job, aaaand I'm still working my day job. No work-from-home for this guy.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
The only thing I'm particularly upset about is not being able to go to my music festivals that I cherish so much, like North Country Fair and Ness Creek. They're usually my only respite from the soul crushing monotony of a career in auto-parts sales, so needless to say I've missed out on that energy this year.
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?
The only thing I'm particularly upset about is not being able to go to my music festivals that I cherish so much, like North Country Fair and Ness Creek. They're usually my only respite from the soul crushing monotony of a career in auto-parts sales, so needless to say I've missed out on that energy this year.
How are dealing with the Covid second wave?
Working, playing with doggos, and keeping my head down! Also, I dropped an EP!
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Oh, good question...seeing Andrew Jackson Jihad, and smoking a joint with them after their set! Definitely one of my all time favourite LIFE moments, big ups to Starlite for facilitating that.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Don't sweat the petty things, and don't pet the sweaty things. Unless it's me. I'm sweaty, and I love pets. That is all.
