In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was little my parents put a little radio by my bedside to help me sleep. I remember hearing the premiere of “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers with Stevie Nicks one night and it having a profound effect on me.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Coldplay, A Rush of Blood to the Head Tears for Fears, Songs from the Big Chair U2, Achtung Baby All three of these records and bands helped shape me as an artist in scope, lyrical content, and sonic architecture.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Sunset Drive” This song tells the story of my early life with my family growing up in Rochester, NY. It’s one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Joining Jameson Rodgers’ band and getting to tour the country.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I’d love a chance to play a few iconic venues like Madison Square Garden, Red Rocks and most especially Blue Cross Arena (formerly The Rochester War Memorial) in my hometown of Rochester, NY where I got to see my very first concert as a kid.
