00:00 You're performing my favorite Bon Jovi song tonight.
00:03 Yeah, Born to be my Baby.
00:04 Nice.
00:05 Tell me your thoughts on the song and how you ended up with that one.
00:09 So I was given that song, my manager said this is the song you're doing and I said great.
00:14 I was not as familiar with that song as I'm sure you're not happy to hear but I wasn't
00:19 as familiar with that song as I was with some of the other Bon Jovi material and it was
00:23 a real great opportunity to dig into that Back in Jersey album and to re-familiarize
00:28 myself with that material and then, you know, kind of step outside of my comfort zone a
00:33 little bit.
00:34 Okay.
00:35 Yeah.
00:36 Great song, I'm sure you're going to kill it.
00:37 I'm going to do my best.
00:38 So you've been nominated for a Grammy, so you've kind of been through all this before.
00:42 What advice would you give for people that are getting their first nomination this year
00:46 and kind of going through the Grammy gauntlet for the first time?
00:50 Man, you know, we're all just out here to have a good time and just, you know, we all
00:55 just love music.
00:56 We got that shared interest.
00:58 So everybody out here has at least one shared interest and it just makes it easy to talk
01:02 to everybody.
01:03 Just have a good time.
01:05 Just be honest and be true and, you know, that's what it's all about.
01:10 What do you have coming up this year?
01:13 So like you said, I've been working on some new music and we're going to be out on the
01:18 road quite a bit this year.
01:20 So it's going to be a really big year.
01:21 A lot of big news to come.
01:23 Some that I can't speak on right now, but as I've been instructed.
01:27 But we got some big stuff coming this year, so keep your ear to the ground.
01:30 We'll be out there.
