\u201cThere is no time to go over songs because they (Darren Vorel and Tom Higginson) literally drop them on me at the last second. So I gave up on learning the songs and found that just going into the studio is like F you guys. You\u2019re going to get what you get. \u2013 Eric Vorel on Conversations with Calcaterra\n\n\u201cI find all the things I\u2019m immersed in that I don\u2019t have time to think about anything that troubles me. That\u2019s the addiction behind the art. It\u2019s happiness in the work.\u201d \u2013 Darren Vorel on Conversations with Calcaterra\n\n\u201cEvery single person I believe is an artist. It takes different forms and different shapes\u2026it\u2019s what you find beautiful in the moment of something you\u2019re creating.\u201d \u2013 Eric Vorel on Conversations with Calcaterra\n\n\u201cI went through such a bad experience with the breakup which caused this band to happen. I almost didn\u2019t want to do this band but Eric was there and said somebody is going to need this record like you needed the records you were listening to.\u201d \u2013 Darren Vorel on Conversations with Calcaterra\n\nMusic has the power to the heal, both the artist and the listener. This is the origin of the Chicago based band TLB fronted by Darren Vorel who began writing songs to vent his pain after a major break-up. Uncertainty kept him from taking the songs to the next level until his brother Eric encouraged him to share his feelings with the world. They then formed the band with childhood friends Tom Higginson and Dave Tirio of the Plain White T\u2019s back in 2013. \n\nKen speaks with the Brothers Vorel about their music, growing up in \nan artistic family, influences and life in general. \n\nwww.darrenvorel.com \u2013 www.tlbkicksass.com\n\nTwitter - @darrenvorel - @VorelEric - @tlbkicksass\n\nVisit Ken @ www.kencalcaterra.com and on various social media outlets and please share and comment on this episode.
