Podcast #90 – Sean Hayes – Knocksteady Live

Sean Hayes stops by Knocksville to talk about his latest album, how he developed his sincerity towards music, and the benefits of being a solo artist.

On genres…

I don’t think about genre that much when I write I just kind of use what I have and play…

North Carolina vs California on music

Growing up in North Carolina, theres a real sincerity towards music..you just played music wherever you could..then I remember moving out to California and having this different sense of, “Oh what you pay to play at a place?”

Benefits of being a solo artist

I guess you can make decisions on your own a little quicker you don’t have to think about 3 or 4 people’s lives…Meanwhile, you can just call up the greatest drummer in town, he usually wants to work like they all do, and say hey I got a gig on the 18th..and then if you’re still playing with him 20 gigs later then maybe you’ve got a band.
