BFTS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 ^ Jam Sesh, 26, street mu sician, originally from Penn sylvania If you were to describe your musi cal style, would you say it would be tbe same (as Squid Ward)? “Like my musical genre?” Yeah. “Yeah, what we play right now. is like folk, pirate rock, maybe some Irish twang in there sometimes. But, yeah, for the most part, the same. We play to gether all the time. We’re called Velvet Alley.” Velvet Alley? Cool. That’s a great name. So if you have a life motto that you live by, what would you say it would be and why? “Be kind to everyone because it’s all about putting positivity out there and trying to be happy and living all to gether, because we’re all here on this Earth anyway. So, we’ve got to come together and be happy.” How did you guys meet? “This is my brother. This is my older brother. I met him 26 years ago at our mom’s house. We were playing guns and stuff like that.” So if you were to describe yourself in three words, which three words would you use and why? “Let’s see here. I’m a sweetheart. for the most part, charismatic and a ba dass.” So, if yon were to describe one thing you like about Asheville and dislike abont Asheville? “Well, I like a lot of things. I love the mountains, for one thing. It’s surround ed by mountains and the whole town is very hilly and very cool. There’s cool houses everywhere and stuff. We’ve met a lot of really amazing people here so far. It’s very artsy, very musical, very us, you know, very dog-friendly, which is a big, huge thing. It’s a tiny bit cold right now. When we first got here, some of the street kids were pret ty obnoxious, and that’s probably why the cops are so heavy around here, you know? But other than that, the skate- parks are awesome. We’re both skaters and stuff like that.” So if you were to describe musical influences, what would you say? “Grew up on classic rock and clas sic metal and stuff like that, like Ozzy and Black Sabbath. So, that’s how we grew up and then we started getting more into punk rock and stuff and then I think electronic music changed me from only hard rock and punk rock to everything else. But, right now, blue- grass is awesome. I’m loving the blue- grass. I’m loving funk. Funk is amaz ing. I just have all sort of influences. I even get down with country too much, especially in my past years. I like actu al country.” Nurture Brilliance. Broaden Horizons. Change The World. Become a Teacher.
