Really want to be in Positano, writing my memoir.
Excited about The new Better Than Ezra album Super Magick coming out May 3rd and our upcoming Live A Little Tour in May that is named after our current single and, of course, Pilgrimage Music Festival’s 10th Anniversary featuring Noah Kahan, Hozier, Dave Matthews Band and more (I co-founded the festival) coming up September 28th and 29th in Franklin, TN.
My current music collection has a lot of K-Pop.
And a little bit of Britpop.
Preferred format I’m all about convenience and accessibility so it’s streaming for me
5 Albums I Can’t Live Without:
1
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Elton John
This is the first album I ever had and it’s still one of my faves.
2
Avalon, Roxy Music
I’m a sucker for Bryan Ferry’s voice and the whole vibe they created for that record is timeless.
3
Murmur, R.E.M.
This album really was the blueprint for me as a young songwriter and artist.
4
Louder Than Bombs, The Smiths
This was a compilation from one of my all-time favorite bands. Morrisey’s voice and lyrics… Johnny Marr’s sublime guitar work…oh my it’s heaven!
5
Hot Fuss, The Killers
This might be one of the great debuts ever…up there with Guns N’ Roses and Jeff Buckley. The album captured a moment and they’re still making great music.
