When I hit my 20s, I took a chill pill and relaxed because throughout my teens I was churning out an album a year. It was a treadmill of work then recording, promoting and touring.

But then I hit my 20s and only made two albums, and now I live in a ski resort as a ski bum basically.

The stage is the best experience in the world. It's a great compliment to be able to share the music, because people can hear my album but they don't get to make the connection in the same way as when it's one-to-one.

But I don't mind, I'm a bit of a touring animal. When I'm on tour that is the greatest thrill for me, playing to a live audience.

We've been touring over two years now and tour about eight months out of the year. After we hit Brookings, we're going back to Texas to restock and rest for a little,

Touring and promoting and recording take a lot of time, it's just getting the right balance that's important.
