Hi Sound Tribe!!!! I've been a big fan since a 2010 and a super fan since 2012! I have a lot of questions but I think these would be fun for all. Feel free to pick and choose questions to answer as you see fit.
1) Do you still have the STS9 phone that you mentioned on social media last year?
2) Can you see or hear the audience during your shows? I'm sure the crowd can be distracting, so it's probably best to not see or hear, but I've always wondered. A part of me probably wants to know because I always try to be in the front row.
3) It seems to me that, as individuals, you stay pretty private. Is that something that you make a concerted effort to do? Or is it just a by-product of the kind of famous you are? To put it another way: I know almost nothing about any of you outside of your stage lives (which is surprising considering how much of my time is devoted to listening to, thinking about, or reading about STS9). Is that something that you have to work hard to maintain, or is it because the band is more famous than its parts?
4) Semi-follow up to 3: do you get recognized in public often? I saw you in an airport terminal after HOB Dallas last year and almost had a heart attack, but I don't think I noticed anybody else even looking twice in your direction. (I eventually said hi on the plane... best part of my vacation to Hawaii by far).
5) In general, how difficult is it to release high quality recordings of all of your concerts? There are a few smaller bands that I wish would do that, but I’ve never known how realistic it would be for that to actually happen.
6) Do you have a favorite brewery/beer?
7) I almost always make it to your Nashville shows (one of my best friends lives there), and the shows there always seem SO different from the rest of the tour. Am I making that up, or is it something you do intentionally? Ryman 2012, Halloween 2014, and WM 2015 are specifically what I'm talkin bout.
8) Will you ever come back to George’s Majestic Lounge?! That 2010 show is my favorite of all time, and I LOVED the intimacy when you went back in 2014 (although I know that wasn’t the intended plan).
Thanks again for doing this and for being such a huge part of my life. Can't wait for fall tour!!!
