"I think it's really good to just do things in the old human way and that side of yourself, that is responding to another human being, playing live, that's the really important thing. And that's the exciting thing about this album. Because it's about a musical synergy, I just feel like this album is about human connection. We should be looking for reasons to come together and cultivate that human connection, so I’m happy to make that contribution to music, to have something out there like that" – Ash Grunwald, The Bluesfest Studio Sessions.
