No, we have played every year

Was there an “ah-ha moment” in your life when you knew you would pursue music?

Sometime between the Doctor slapping my ass and my mom crying, or was it when I got a guitar when I was 13? Who knows

Who (or what) motivates and inspires your writing and playing style(s)?

Motivation comes in waves, I stay pretty busy with other things in life, so it is hard to always stay on top of the music. My grandfather played aside from that I would site, Bob Dylan, the Beatles, John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, Bruce Springsteen and modern acts like the Avetts and Langhorne Slim.
