This year we have also sneaked hold a number of appearances on Sunday 15 hours. they present a general portrait concert. About the music, talk to John.

- What kind of thought or emotion you have is important to convey the music?
- I try not to interfere song unfold. Usually the song itself "knows" what is in her best interest. Strong emotions with their catchy songs. These emotions I try to convey as clearly as possible the texts and what not to say the words, I try to express the music. Grief, love, loss and longing - these are some emotions that are affected by the songs.

- usually appears alone, but you sang along with various artists and groups - as well as Symphony Orchestra. How is the presence of a single scene from the show with other artists?
- Different communication with the audience. When you have a solo performance, communication is more personal and direct. Just hit the stage for another new one, everything changes.

- What you are, if you were not a musician?
- I could be a great dish washer or gardener (smiling).

- In 2010, the first time you visited Lithuania in international sung poetry festival Tai-me "time. What is the most memorable?
- I really like to interact with other artists from so many different countries. People in the organization of this festival - really special. I am happy to come back.

- What to expect this year to the Lithuanian audience?
- In my usual acoustic sound, this year brought with electric guitar, which has carried out several works. This will be older and new songs blend. Issue you a secret - I am never intended by the exact appearance of progress.

- And what do you expect from the audience you?
- I hope that the audience will understand what I want to say to my songs, and I as soon as I'll try to do that for them it would be easy.
