Jay DeMarcus Quotes

American - Musician | April 26, 1971 -

I was at a Dolly Parton concert when I was about 9 years old. I saw her at the Ohio State Fair, and it was my first real concert that I'd been to.

Change Control Start Think You Go

We started out as a bar band. We were sometimes playing in front of 20 people.

People Sometimes Band Bar Out Front

You can't manufacture the feeling of being in a small crowd and connecting on every single level to the very last person in the very last row in the back. I think when you evolve into a headlining act and things get bigger, the intimacy and some of that energy gets lost a little bit.

Small Energy Think You Back Person

When you do an arena show, and the lights have to sync up to the sound, and the sound has to sync up to the music, and all of that - things are really mapped out, and you lose some of that spontaneity.

Music You Lose Lights Sound Out

That's what we all hope and dream to do, when we stand in front of the mirror with our Goody comb and sing into it, is to have a bunch of songs that have touched people so much that they want to hear 'em every night.

Hope Mirror People Night Stand Want
