Truthfully,.. Obviously good music and a good live show is important, and you have to make sure your fans like them. But most importantly having cool vibes and nice people because there's nothing worse than spending a month with a band that you don't connect with and you don't have fun with, and they take themselves too seriously and they have bodyguards, you know what I mean, they act like they're something they're not.

It was a different way of making a record. We basically all met in Athens, Georgia, to make this record. A lot of these songs, nobody had ever heard, and we just kind of put them together right there. We were in band camp or something.

If I was a betting man,.. I'd say the malls of America wouldn't embrace our type of music anyhow. Let's just say we're a discriminating-palate kind of band.

It's a true performance parade. The band and dance troupes will all be competing for first place. We want to offer something for everyone from the 2-year-old to the 92-year-old.

I'm very excited about the change. It's a positive change for West Jessamine, and I think in the long run, statewide, it will encourage band growth.

One of the factors was that it's 50,000. For a school band to raise 50,000, that's all they'd be doing.

This year, one of the things I'm most excited about is that the sound of the band is just incredible,.. There's going to be an obvious difference in the first note that the fans hear.

I just don't think, at the end of the day the world needs another three electric guitar rock band, no matter how good they are. And I certainly think for what we are and what we do, I think we need to -- not that we haven't in the past -- really celebrate the uniqueness of the instruments we play and the uniqueness of our song selection, the history we have and the material that we, right now, only trot every four or five years or so. Can't we put something together that sounds like nobody else on earth but us? Not that we don't ever do that, but there's so much more.

We are not going to stop pushing. We're relentless. We will just call and call and call (to clubs, the media, agents, etc.) to get our band noticed!

The Gillis Brothers band from Georgia is one of the most original, true bluegrass bands traveling the nation.

It falls where it is. We've been accepted by gospel markets and jam band markets and different places that we never really tried to get. It still surprises me when somebody picks up a record that wouldn't normally buy a bluegrass record and says, 'That new record is awesome.' We didn't have that in mind when we cut it. But we'll take every one of 'em.

People say this isn't a blues festival. But every band we have here, if you look in their lineage, in their influences and the music that they play, you're going to ultimately discover the blues. All our great rock 'n' roll is based in the blues.

I did a double bill at the Hotel with him, and we became fast friends,.. I played in his band when he went to Europe. He's kind of like a rock star over there. That trip gave me the energy to go hard again.

We feel that we have to write. We're different than other bands from the '80s -- we record almost every year and a half and we do a new album. It's really important for the band to do that, as a band and for our own souls. We're writing fresh stuff all the time.

Imagine threading a rubber band between two cards, and then twisting the middle. All those twisting stresses accumulate at the points where the rubber band threads through the card to the outside. Keep twisting long enough and you will rip the card.

And also there hasn't been much footage of Traffic either. There is very little in existence and since Traffic is a very enigmatic and unusual band, we thought that now was the time to put this out and give people a taste of what Traffic was really about.

We've actually rehearsed more for this tour than we've ever rehearsed in our lives. Matt is singing a lot of the vocal harmonies, and he's just killing it. The benefit of playing in a KISS cover band when you're 12 is that you learn to sing!

We hung out for the day. Nothing was choreographed. It was really cool. We just got to light up the tires all day long. And as a band, the first half of the day, we got to hang around and watch these people go off on these killer machines and do the most insane stunts we've ever seen live.

It's an experiment year for us too. We had a young rock band last night, more of a kid's or college age and the night before that we had Loggins and Messina, and it was a little older group. So this is a trial for us. We'll see if people enjoy it, if they come, if they don't we won't do it again.

I didn't carry on with music much as an adult, but my daughters sing and play in band. It's a great way for kids to use their talents constructively. You'll rarely hear of any of these kids being in any kind of serious trouble.

Once again, we had a major sponsor with Chrysler Jeep that stepped up and helped us afford a group like the Little River Band. That's how it's free to the public.
