What was your favorite music during the ____'s?

Looking back, my favorite music during the '70s, specifically the late '70s, was undoubtedly that big, theatrical kind of rock. I absolutely lived for bands like Aerosmith and, of course, Alice Cooper. For me, it wasn't just about listening to the music; it was about the whole experience, like seeing a full-blown play unfold right before your eyes. You truly got your money's worth because it was a real show, a complete performance with so much going on. That kind of energy, that grand scale, is exactly what we aim to bring to our own crowds today, ensuring everyone has an unforgettable experience when they come to see us. That's also precisely where our signature 'big look' comes from, everything from the outfits to the hair.

Name a song from early childhood that made you begin to realize you may want to be a musician

Thinking back to my early days, while I grew up immersed in the pop punk sounds of bands like Sum 41 and Third Eye Blind, and later even explored the melodic depth of groups like Boston, it was truly Sebastian Bach from Skid Row who ignited that spark in me. I vividly remember playing their songs and pushing my voice to its limits, trying to hit those incredible high notes and match his powerhouse range. It was in those moments, striving to emulate that vocal prowess, that I clearly saw my path forward; I knew I wasn't just meant to be a fan, but a traveling musician myself.
