"How does a kid growing up in Seattle in the 1980’s end up making country music?"
I get asked all the time. I usually say, "I don’t know, I just open my mouth when I sing and that’s what comes out."
Growing up we were raised on the classic rock and roll, the Beatles, Buddy Holly, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, when mtv was actually music television. I didn’t learn about the really old stuff until high school when my fascination with the labor movement and the histories that never got brought up in textbooks led me to seek out the roots of all that music. The field recordings of Alan Lomax and Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music had just been rereleased and I devoured it all. I have always been one who out of fear or a need for security, tried to keep a full time job and pay the bills, so I traveled in my mind down the roads of Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, and the Carter Family, weaving elements of history and traditional country and blues into my music and lyrics. |
