“I did the rock thing, I did the punk thing, I did the funk thing, I did the blues, and for me this new album Feeling Fine is a progression to coming back home. I use all of these musical influences in my approach to playing, whether I’m playing acoustic or electric. For me it’s not about playing like someone else because they’re popular, it’s about self-expression and playing what I feel. It’s about making sure I do whatever I can to help the listener have a good time and feel fine.” ~ Marshall Lawrence
