Zitat des Tages von Vonda Shepard:
We've been waiting for a format like triple-A where you can hear Crowded House, Joni Mitchell and R.E.M.
I just kept making records, touring in Europe a lot, and then I had a baby in 2006, so my life has been very, very much family-orientated.
I don't have much time for TV shows, but if I did, I'd watch 'Seinfeld' reruns.
James Ralston, my guitar player, has performed with Tina Turner for about 22 years. Jim Hanson on bass has played with Johnny Cash, Rodney Crowell and Bruce Springsteen, and they're fantastic musicians and amazing singers they get a really cool vocal sound together.
My advice is if you have to do music, then do it! There's no choice in your heart and your soul - unless you have that kind of great need, desire and determination, it's pretty tough out there!
I always give the audience a variety because I want to make sure they hear the favorites and all that.
I would advise anyone starting out as a singer/songwriter to play live as much possible. You never know who might be in the audience.
Starting young has definitely helped my success. All the experience I gained by touring with other players as a backing artist helped to prepare me for my own big break.
My nature is to worry about everything too much.
For me, if 'Maryland' became half of what 'Searchin' My Soul' became, as far as radio play goes, I would be thrilled.
There was a singer-songwriter who slept on our couch for a year when I was about 7 or 8. She used to sing these songs for us, and I loved it. It was magical to watch her.
I can't really stop doing the music because it really feeds me.
I'm not just a chick singer who sings high all the time.
The biggest similarity between me and my character is that we've both played clubs for 20 years. In real life, the clubs aren't quite as controlled - and my hair isn't quite as in place as it is on 'Ally McBeal.'
