You've been known to play in cathedrals, basements, and even nuclear plants. How do you think an offbeat venue effects the overall vibe of your performance?
"I've certainly had the opportunity to play in some really strange and amazing spaces, but not often enough! It has taught me a lot about my own voice — hearing it in those big rooms, in different types of space. And, each building has its own energy that also plays into your show and into your mood and creates something unique."
