Tell us about the best show you ever played.
I love them all. The most unique performance would have to be when I played at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, OR for the Trail Blazer’s Half-Time show in front of 23,000 people. Being from Oregon, there’s no bigger venue you can play. Not to mention I was only the 2nd act in history to ever play a half-time show in the Rose Garden besides Earth, Wind, and Fire. The crowd response was massive and the honor was huge. It was one of those moments you dream about as a kid, rocking out in front of your mirror, or pretending you’re the star of the movie you’re watching – except for this time it actually happened.
What is your favorite food and/or recipe?
Multiple combinations of chicken, beans, and rice.
