A Machine Called Wilco
“Absolutely I had my punk rock phase – I see plenty of things to rebel against. At this point of my life, personally, I’m rebelling against being an arrested development adolescent – that’s worth rebelling against.”

Fred's In Da House
"The show is a variety show – we close the show with the James Brown JBs stuff, ‘cause that seems to be the most recognisable by the people, and we also do my own tune, House Party, which is very popular around the world."
Peace & Love
"I’m in the middle of writing a new record and it’s goin’ great and there are quite a few new songs that I’m sure some will debut on a number of the festivals or our shows there in Australia."
Let There Be (Soulful) Rock
“They’re getting quite popular in England. Some churches have become venues as well now. There’s a popular one in London called Union Chapel and most people play there..."
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."
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!”
Re-Born This Way
“My show is always very uplifting and positive so when somebody leaves my show I think that they can go back to work or to school or wherever feeling good about themselves and feeling good about life."
All In The Moment
"We wanna play new stuff, but we’re holdin’ because nowadays, with the way that everybody videos and YouTubes, you just can’t keep anything fresh without people putting it out there..."
