In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was a little kid, my parent's gave me a portable 8-track player with a microphone attached to it. It was the earliest of sing-along, karaoke machines. Armed with this weaponry, I fell in love with singing at the top of my lungs. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Pink Floyd, The Wall The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band The Who, Tommy Concept albums blew me away when I was a kid. Add Paradise Theater by Styx, Synchronicity by The Police, and Purple Rain by Prince. These were the soundtracks of my youth. Theatrical storytelling is magic. 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. “The Mask (feat. Joseph Campbell)” Were it not for Joseph Campbell I fear I might not have had the courage, or the permission, to let go of the life I had planned, in order to have the life that was waiting for me. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I played some early songs from Folk Tunes for the Apocalypse at a retreat in Sayulita, Mexico in the Spring of 2022. It was sunset. The light was perfect, shimmering across the ocean - and I could feel these songs come alive for the first time. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I'm coming online a bit late in my career. The bucket list is full and untapped.
