“When I think about my oldest brother Keith, the first thing I remember is how passionate he was about the music he listened to. Music was always his thing. When he let me listen to ‘Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me’, The Cure immediately became my favorite band. We were really close, and every time he drove me somewhere...
“When I heard ‘My Last Song to Jenny’ I immediately connected to it. It was that one song, one song that I connected to, that made me go see the Avett Brothers live. And by the end of that concert I was so in love with these guys. Their lyrics just speak to you, it’s like they speak to your soul. The more I...
“My best friend introduced me to Butch Walker when we were in 9th grade. We’ve been to more than 20 shows since then, we lost count a couple of years ago. I love his music because he puts so much emotion into his songs and performances. I can relate to ‘Ships in a Bottle’ the most. To me, the song is about losing...
“I had a really special relationship with my grandmother, she was an amazing lady. I only lived about 5 minutes from her when I was growing up so I’d get to see her almost everyday. I can remember getting my mom to take me to her house all the time so I could take a bath in her giant bathtub. When I was 4, we were riding to...
One of the things I like most about Lord Huron is their creative process. Most artists will write about an experience, a situation, a moment, and the emotion that comes with it. You know, like a love, a breakup or something like that. But what Ben does, is take that situation and play it out. He’ll imagine how the experience could...
I was one of those little goth girls in high school that got picked on all the time. Kids use to throw food at me in the cafeteria, say dogs couldn’t sit at the table and bark at me. I felt like Robert Smith understood what I was feeling. He knew what it was like to be an outsider, he understood all the emotions I kept bottled up...
“I introduced my daughter to Third Eye Blind and she introduced me to 21 Pilots, just like my dad introduced me to Zeppelin and I introduced him to Pearl Jam. It’s kinda like a trickle down effect, a tradition of music. She loves being in the pit. She was always showing me these pictures she had taken from the middle of it...
“I didn’t know all that much about Blake Shelton when I met him back around 2002 or so. I was working at Dave and Busters in Nashville and got to wait on him one night. I didn’t get to talk to him all that much, but he was really down to earth and took the time to make me feel like he was genuinely interested in me...
“The first time I heard Stevie Nicks was when I was in elementary school and my mom played ‘The Dance’ DVD. I remember I would always ask her to play ‘Gold Dust Woman’, my favorite song. Stevie’s songs brought me comfort in chaos growing up. When everything went bad I would put her music on and it was like...
“I’m here with my fiance’ to see The Band Perry live for the first time. I like their new sound better than the country music they were known for before. It’s just more my style of music. And I think the songs are better because they are being true to themselves. I feel like I can relate to them in that way...
