What emotions do you hope to bring out in your audience as they listen to you perform ?
I want my audiences to feel relaxed , energized , happy , and content . We live in a time where we are all running at a frenetic pace ; most of us probably don ' t take as much down time as we should . The events I play for are usually intended to be a respite from the hustle and bustle , so I really focus on creating an environment where my audience can really feel at home and hopefully be restored by good music and good conversation .
