“The musicians that I use at this point in my life are uniformly amongst the best practitioners and people that I’ve ever had the privilege to work with. It’s my honor to continue to create music which is original, challenging, and, hopefully, entertaining with them, and to continue to support the musical community of Texas that has given me so much in everything that I do.”
