song pjs want
I met PJ Harvey when I was in England, and the first thing I want to do when I meet a songwriter I admire is to ask them how do they receive songs.
littles performing bits
I like performing live more than anything. I get a little bit afraid in the studio.
artist careers memphis
When I talk about music in Memphis, it's a place you can go if you are a beginning artist or anywhere in your career, and you can incubate.
past inspired lift-me-up
Im constantly being inspired by the old days and taking things from the past and allowing them to lift me up where I am now.
high-heels guitar ukulele
As I try to get around with a guitar, a banjo and a suitcase of high heels and dresses, I treasure that little ukulele.
song writing trying
I try to write down every song that comes to me, even though I know that every song that comes to me isnt a song that I need to sing.
art cities trying
I feel a lot of cities are like, you go and you are trying to do your art, and there are so many other artists there who are so brilliant. And it's kind of like they stomp on the scene, and they are like, "You're not already Picasso? Get the hell out of here!" And Memphis is like, "Well, you'll get there one day!"
music-love
I just love music, and I absorbed what I love.

Amalgamation is a good word that I like to use - musically and in every way.

I am always excited about playing in front of live audiences because I really enjoy it, for the most part.
