Q: How did My Favorite Highway get started and how’d you all meet?

Bobby: We actually met [through] my brother [who] is friends with Will and Dave, the lead singer and the bass player in the band and they are cousins. The way that the band started was that Will and Dave were both musicians and Dave actually left college and was looking for something else to do and Will had always wanted to start a band. They formed the band and I knew them through my brother and joined the band, and then Pat joined shortly after I did.

Q: How would you describe your music to someone who has never heard you before and how would you convince them to listen to it?

Bobby: I would describe our music as pop-rock, we are somewhere between like The Fray and The All-American Rejects. And if I had to convince you to enjoy our music I would say “Listen to our music and it will make your relationships better. You’ll get better grades too. I don’t know if that will encourage anyone.You’ll make money if you listen to our music.

Q: Where do you see yourself years from now; and what are your goals and dreams?

Bobby: My goals and dreams, I don’t know in a few years maybe have kids. Definitely in a position where My Favorite Highway is, I think my dream is to be in a place where My Favorite Highway is  allowing me a pedestal to be able to share my ideas and hopes and aspirations with other people on a more sort of global scale then just what it is right now. Which is, you know I’ve had opportunities to be able to share my ideas and stuff but like even more so. I just wanna take it to the next level and maybe a Grammy, I don’t know we’ll see.

Q: When did you realize you wanted to pursue music seriously and what made you realize this?

Bobby: I realized it in high school. , and I think that I realized it just because I was a fan of music in high school and I was playing a lot and it was kind of a mystery because I played I did sports and stuff in high school but not a lot of people knew that I played music. But I would leave, and I would go out of town and play with other artists and stuff and uh record on records and things like that. And uh I think it was definitely in high school when I realized I wanted to play music for a living.

Q: Do you have any other passions besides music? And beatboxing?

Bobby: I do, I am really passionate about like film. I’m pretty heavily involved in all the videos that My Favorite Highway does. Film and like acting are kind of like my, my other passions.

Q: We actually watched them all yesterday.

Bobby: Oh really, yeah. Film is kinda like my, that’s my other sorta thing that I’m really interested in. That and just kind of like I don’t know I just have a passion for like  just being an encouragement to younger kids you know? Like high school age kids because I remember so vividly being in high school and what that was like, and you know I want My Favorite Highway to be an opportunity to encourage other people where they’re at cuz you know I was there too. And I think it is okay to pursue your dreams and things.

But actually Cecelia and I had made an agreement, if either of us wasn’t married by the time we were like 25, which I turned 25 two days ago, that we would marry each other, so luckily we’re both married.

Q: Did you play on any sports teams?

Can I tell you a story though about the swim team? Sorry, you can edit this out, or you can leave it. But Mr. Fisher I hope you’re watching this and I hope you see. , I actually got kicked off the swim team like my junior year because instead of going to the state swim meet I went skiing instead. So I got kicked off, but then he was nice enough to let me back on, ‘cause Mr. Fisher’s my boy!
