"I was kicking around in the '90s in Asbury Park and nothing was hitting and I came down here on a vacation and it just struck me; I needed to live in this city. I didn't even know the music here then, it was just the way the city felt, it was perfect. I moved down here with my band at the time; it all started out as a solo project, I was starting over and that just kind of morphed into The Soul Project and over the years; it has been 24 years almost and I can't believe it but it has been 24 years of molding, growing and learning from the ground up here in New Orleans."

"It's a one-off thing; I'm not exaggerating, every weekend we are doing multiple shows and by the end of the year we'll probably wind up doing about 68 one-offs and plus we're doing a seven week tour that's 35 shows so we'll be right around 100 shows for the year. This show is a one-off, we're flying in just for this show. We're working more than any band I know, I talk to other bands and they are like, man, you guys are awesome, you're killing it and I say, we're trying to, we're killin' something, hopefully not ourselves," laughed Everclear's main man Art Alexakis as he talked about their most recent release "Live at the Whisky A Go Go," the music industry and their upcoming August 8 show at Camden's Cooper River Park.
