Seeing Blue
“Some of the CDs that I’m influenced by, by guys like Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf and all that, there are mistakes in there... there are gazillions of Muddy Waters songs where you hear him say the wrong thing.”

Disintegrating Loops
“The perfect venue is really hard to figure out. The sound system has to be really great. Not too loud, not too soft. Essentially, just right.”
Bragg-Worthy Bookings
“Every performance is an adventure, a journey. And you do, you sort of paint a new picture every evening."
Second Chapter
“In some way, all the stories are connected to a place of fear for me, or a place of longing, or a place that I’m grappling with anyway."
Singing Off Home
"I didn’t necessarily plan on that but I certainly planned on trying to get the right environment. It was quite a challenge but it seemed to work; it’s a bit of a field recording and it seems to have caught people’s imaginations over here, actually.”
All About The Song
“For me, most of my songs always come out of live performance. I have a really strange kind of ritual – before I play a gig I sit down and before I know it I’ve written a song. It’s happened so many times it’s weird."
Magic Happens
"The reaction you have is a physical, organic, visceral experience that is occurring from soundwaves and you’re changed for it. And you’re spinning out because of it – it’s a beautiful thing that keeps this music business world spinning around. It still is mystical to me and I fucking love the shit out of it!”
In Full Bloom
“Oh maaan, what a line-up! I mean, Robert Plant! Rodriguez! I just saw the line-up the other day, you know, it’s an incredible line-up this year.”
The Son Also Sings
“I realised at some point that you can’t please everybody, so to hell with them, do what makes you happy, and I’ve been doing that ever since.”
