I just came across this Indie On Air radio interview from 2010, shortly after relocating from Southern California to Portland, Oregon. I actually sound like I might have a clue.

What a thrill it was performing an opening set for David Wilcox's sold out show at his only Portland appearance in 2017. Plus, we got a chance to hang out with David after the show, talk about acoustic guitar pickups and preamps, songwriting, and share some pie & coffee. He had some wonderful words of encouragement for Radio Stranger. Thank you, David.

"Really good songs. You two have such great harmonies, and you have the ability to really lock in rhythmically with each other. You got pocket."
