On playing in the subways and coffee shops…
Crystal: I played in the subways a lot and in little cafes and I think it’s given me perspective on certain things in life and helped shape who I am. It’s made me a stronger person and I don’t think I would’ve made it as far as I have in the competition if it wasn’t for those experiences.
Lee: Playing smaller venues, they seem like a big deal at the time. I remember I’d get psyched to play a show and have 70 people show up! And here you are on this stage, so it prepares you in so many ways. It feels good to have tried so many different things to be a working artist. You don’t forget that stuff.
