Thanks to Jimmy Buffett, most people have an idea of what “boat music” is. What does it mean to you?
It’s laid-back and acoustic. My boat playlist has a lot of singer-songwriters like Jimmy, Bob Marley, Jackson Browne and Jack Johnson. It’s the soundtrack to sitting out there and pulling a beer out of the cooler and watching the sun move across the sky. I’ll take three or four of my new songs out on the boat and watch the sunset with that music, and ask, “Does this music reflect this atmosphere? Does it speak to more people than just me?” It’s important to reflect a sense of what that life is really like, how time hangs in the balance.
