I’ve been a Van Halen fan since waaaay back! They were my very first concert ever. Saw them live back in ’84 at Reunion Arena in Dallas, TX. Still have the T-shirt!

Me and my band cover Streetcorner Symphony from Rob Thomas’ 2005 solo album …Something To Be. I’ve always loved his songwriting in Matchbox 20 and his solo work is just as great.
You got to spend a lonely long time You outta faith, well baby use mine It changes everything that we do
Driving into town today By the time I looked up thought I lost my way That’s when I noticed everything had changed for you
But we are, and we shine, and we sing, like we do But we are, and we shine, and we sing, like we do
Everybody, everybody, everybody let’s pray Get out on the streets today Trouble never go away unless we do
I know babe, I understand You and me we gotta have a plan Trust me, well maybe we do
But we are, and we shine, and we sing, like we do But we are, and we shine, and we sing, like we do
Hey we’re alive, roll steady like we do, Into the night, seeing all the things brand new Hey we’re alive, roll steady like we do, Into the night, see all the things brand new
La la la la la la La la la la la la
But we are, and we shine, and we sing, like we do But we are, and we still shine, and we sing, like we do
Hey we’re alive, roll steady like we do, Into the night, seeing all the things brand new Hey we’re alive, roll steady like we do, Into the night, see all the things brand new
La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la
Harmony Hall by Vampire Weekend from their 2019 album, Father Of The Bride. I always thought they were a fascinating band and this song is especially great. We had some help from the amazing Clay Willis on guitar, guest vocalists Alaina Gunter and Christa Russell and special guest cameos from my friends Charles Gaby and Katsuk. Special thanks to Greg Luce for helping me shoot this video!
I’m really pleased with how well this interview went. Usually I sound pretty goofy when I do these, but hosts Christine Alphin & Angela Heikkinen kept me on track! If you’re just dying to learn more about me, my influences and what hair products I use, check out our interview from The Amber Room in Fort Worth, TX.
The band and I will be playing the beautiful Kessler Theater in Dallas, TX Thursday, March 21. We’ll be raising money for Bishop Dunne Catholic School (my alma mater!). Doors open at 6:30pm, Fort Worth Celtic band Behan opens the show at 7:00pm.
