1.  When did you first become a fan of Dashboard Confessional?
I’ve been a fan of Dashboard Confessional for as long as I can remember. My sister (10 years older than me) has been a fan since DC’s earliest years and I’ve developed my entire music taste because of her, so I’ve loved DC since I was a kid!

2.  How has Dashboard Confessional affected your life?
DC has helped me connect with my sister. It wasn’t until DC was touring and came to SLC that my sister and I went to our first concert together, just a few weeks before Covid hit. We haven’t always lived in the same state but have since 2020 and me finally being old enough and having enough money to go to concerts, we got to go together and that kickstarted a tradition of us going to concerts together every year. We’ve now seen DC 4 times together, plus we’ve seen Andrew McMahon (twice), Yellowcard (twice), Mae, and more! We no longer live in the same state but have already planned to go to more concerts together.

3.  If you have attended a Dashboard Confessional concert - what was it like for you? Seeing DC for the first time was absolutely unbelievable. Being able to sing at the top of my lungs in a room full of people that felt the same way I did was just an experience unmatched. Being a musician, I also had just a huge appreciation for the little details of songs that you don’t get in recordings—alternate endings, slightly different harmonies, just little tweaks to the songs to let you hear them in a new light. I just knew I was going to HAVE to see DC at every opportunity for the rest of my life!

4.  Any suggestions for what we can do/set up for Saints & Sailors Fan Club?
I love the Saints & Sailors fan club so far. It would be really cool to have a Saints & Sailors only show if it were possible. Otherwise I think everything is better than I would have ever hoped!

5.  If you could give Dashboard Confessional a message - what would it be? My message is that the music and message of DC is timeless and ageless. The songs are relatable, catchy, and meaningful. Part of what makes DC amazing is the type of people you all are. It makes your music so much better knowing you guys are such genuine and loving humans. Thank you for filling the world with so much good—it’s needed and appreciated.
