“It’s about the songs and connection with the audience for me. That and bringing an element of danger and excitement to the stage.”
POWER-DUO?: “The power-duo format has brought me to life. I kinda need a lot to do musically or I just end up chewing the furniture, you know?
“Stripping things down to just voice/guitar/drums gives me the most immediate emotional connection between my singing and guitar playing.
“There are no presets. I can steer the whole thing right off the edge of the world if I want to. Or play something pretty, too.”.
