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 practicing at my bassist's house teaching our sub guitarist the set for our tour to SXSW when the news of that being canceled was announced. That was kind of the moment most of us realized things are going to pause.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
I had an album in the works in early 2020 and that was on pause. Been working on it slowly during quarantine and plan to release it at some point this year. Finishing it up this month. JAZZED as hell for it.
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?
Learning new instruments, how to use DAWs, cooking more, painting again, just enjoying sitting still or trying to. Supporting my mental health with long walks, calling friends, sleeping more, trying to drink less.
How are dealing with the Covid second wave?
By continuing to avoid public spaces, parties, and sticking to my pod. To be honest there was a point where I stopped wiping things down but I'm back on that wagon of wiping surfaces in my house often and things from the store.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
If you're reading this it probably means you're a true blue indie music fan and/or musician. So thank you for supporting musicians in this way. And thank you to all the musicians out there persevering through this. We got this. <3
