First of all, I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time out of your day to do this AMA and for continuing to write memorable music that stands the test of time. Now for my questions:

In this age of facebook, twitter, instagram and tumblr there seems to be, for better or for worse, no end to the amount of ways that bands/artists can interact with their fans.

  • In your opinion, how important is the use of these platforms for you and why or why not do you think they’re important?

With the price of touring increasing exponentially since the early 2000’s, from my perspective, full-time touring for independent, unsigned artists without some sort of significant financial backing or booking agency/management seems nearly impossible. With that being said:

  • What advice do you have for independent/unsigned bands/artists who wish to make their hobby a career?

  • How important has a manager/management or label been to the success of your career?

Once again, thank you for doing this.
