Jerry Fecteau: How much has New Orleans been an influence in your career? What is your favorite place to eat in New Orleans?

New Orleans has shaped every aspect of who I am and what I do. I like to eat at Herbsaint, Liuzza’s by the track, and Lebanon's Cafe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-48GCTEZP3w

Justin Tisi: How did you become so good at playing? How long did it take you to feel confident enough to play in front of people without your nerves getting in the way?

I am still very nervous every time I perform. :) I love listening, dissecting, learning, and losing myself in music. It’s the great spirit in the sky allowing me to participate in the greatest trip on earth. My mistakes are apart of who I am. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQtcjQkmxhE&t=1046s

Andrea Ronnie: What is your favorite live collaboration?

Most of them are wonderful. Right now I love playing with my current band, Brady Blade, Eric McFadden, and Carl Dufresne. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9tHsT8RFmg

Alex Neave: What is it like to play with Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead?

One of the greatest journeys one can take. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsiVJqTzgFI

Andy Della Rocca: What is your favorite Chicago blues song?

Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters, 1955 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5IOou6qN1o

Seth Wax: When you write songs do you think of an artist who might be able to do a great cover of it? For instance, I always felt the song “Got Your Heart” had Bonnie Raitt written all over it.

No, I mostly focus on the core feeling of the song itself, and what my role should be. I would love Bonnie to record that song. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62S9HHOiqdk

PJ Lebowski: I love your songwriting. Who are artists that have influenced you the most?

Bob Dylan, Joni, Coltrane, Cannonball, Neil, Miles, Lowell, Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, Ry Cooder, Willie Nelson, Van, Townes Van Zant, James Taylor, Black Sabbath, Vivaldi, Mozart, Bach, Ray Charles…Taj…so many. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES7WwdCbkBc

Hillary Korn Fontana: How much time do you put into your art? Especially with your crazy travel schedule.
