When I play in Atlantic City, I perform Tuesdays through Sundays for two weeks, and I have 91-percent attendance. No one else plays six days a week, two shows per night, and does that kind of business.
I tour a lot, sometimes like a hundred shows a year.
I used to do covers gigs that would be 90 minutes, with a 30 minute break, then another 90.
I was able to do concerts all the way up until two weeks before I had the baby; I thought I was stopping a month ahead, but he was three weeks early.
It's amazing to see places like Madison Square Garden on the schedule again.
If you just do 50 to 60 shows a year, it's not that much time away from home.
There's a lot of downtime when we're not on stage leading up to the gigs.
I'm an early riser, which is sometimes a drag when I have late-night concerts. But I prefer to wake up early - say, 8:30 - and maybe take a nap during the day.
