“The most special part of this, for me, is that no two nights will ever be the same. Each of us has songs that mean something to us. When we gather, the exact group of people, the energy they’re feeling that day – that will never happen exactly the same way again. As entertainers, the best thing we can do is prepare ourselves to live in that distinct moment.”
