When I was growing up in New Jersey, my mom would regularly take my sister and I into the city to see shows. I have many fond memories of standing in the half-price ticket line in Times Square and going to matinees.

I've been sober for two-and-a-half years, My children are happy. In August, my wife and I will celebrate our fifteenth wedding anniversary. My band is back together with a sold-out tour.

If there's one thing I discovered since I came back from hiatus, it's that you can't go backwards.

The folk music definition has changed in this fast music world and musical styles are blending really quickly.
