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?
Planning a couple festival appearances at home. So that changed pretty quickly to say the least.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
Yes and yes. To be honest that really hit hard. We love the live show and not being able to play on that stage really was a hit.
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?
I write a lot of music. I also spend about 90% of my time outdoors even before the pandemic. So as long as I was outside it didn't really feel that different. That being said I know a few people and colleagues who had a rough go so we just try to be there for them.
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?
Things are definitely getting better. We are booking shows but we are also moving into the quiet time of year where the festivals die down.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Getting featured.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Whatever you are thinking of doing. Just do it. Stop overthinking it and do it. If you fail so be it. At least you tried.
