WORLD PROG-NATION talks to Craig Blundell of Steve Hackett's Genesis Revisited - Part 2, 20Oct19

Описание: On October 20, 2019, we had the good fortune of spending some time with percussionist and composer Craig Blundell prior to his show with Steve Hackett's Genesis Revisited at the beautiful Fox Theater in Oakland, California. This is the second part of this insightful interview. Craig shares with us his thoughts on topics that are seldom talked about in music circles. Craig tals about the importance of physical fitness for him as a working drummer, and how staying in shape helps him to be a better player as he looks forward to playing the drums for many years to come.

Craig also opens up with his thoughts and experiences on mental health issues from a musician's perspective including depression, anxiety and feelings of insecurity, and how he has dealt / is dealing with such issues. His is a super interesting perspective as a performer who was thrust suddenly from relative anonymity into the world stage with Steven Wilson, while having to fill the shoes of his drum heroes and friends and having to deal with social media scrutiny and comments, both positive and negative.

Craig also talks about his future plans including the current Steve Hackett tour, his contact with Steven Wilson and closes with some great words for his fans.
