Bands From Akron Have A Sense Of

I'm Certainly Not Your Typical Front-man Material. Some People Love Being On Stage And Really Open Up, And I'm Sort Of The Opposite Of That. I Don't Crave The Spotlight. I'm Still Not Comfortable Even Talking On Stage.

I Used To Be Really Nervous When I Sang. Like, When I Was A Kid Starting Young, 18 And 19, And My Dad Really Had To Sort Of Push Me To Start Singing In Front Of People. Ever Since I Got Out There And Really Started Doing It, The Only Thing I've Ever Tried To Do Is Just Sort Of Is Be Myself, You Know, Never Put On A Voice. Sing Naturally.

My Mum's Family Would All Get Together, With Guitars, Harmonica, Mandolins And Upright Bass And Play Old Blues And Folk Songs. That Was Normal To Me.

Guitar Solos Bore The Hell Out Of Me. Only A Few Guitarists Interest Me, And It's Not About The Solos They Play, It's About The Grooves They Create.

I Don't Make My Living Making Records. Maybe Someday I Will.
