Influences: For violin I am very much influenced by Stephen Grapelli as well as a woman named Carolyn Cutler who taught me most of my fiddlin' knowledge. Drumming wise I would say Adrian Young of No Doubt is one of my favorite drummers of all time. Ringo is also a huge influence. A lot of my reggae influence comes from him and Bob Marley's drummers. The song is what truly turns me on and some writers/bands I really enjoy include: The Beatles, No Doubt, Norah Jones, Jamiroquai, Ryan Adams, John Mayer, Paul Simon, Ben Harper, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Shins, Johnny Cash, 311, John Lennon, Andy Shaw (my brother, amazing writer), Ray Lamontagne, Fleet Foxes, Amos Lee, Nickel Creek, Gomez, Kings of Leon, Andrew Bird, Willie Nelson, The White Stripes, Eminem, Rufus Wainwright, Radiohead, The Police, Paul McCartney, Martin Sexton, Loretta Lynn, Jason Mraz, Hank Williams Sr., Jack Johnson, Dixie Chicks, Coldplay, Dave Matthews Band, Cake, Talib Kweli, Bob Marley, to name just a few.
