Earl Klugh – HuffPost 7.26.13

Mike Ragogna: What’s your advice for new artists?

Earl Klugh: I tell you what. I think that things are really looking up from my perspective as far as music. You have all types of great jazz artists now, you have really great country music, there’s always Broadway and all of that stuff. I try to pull from all of those sorts of places. When I was younger, I had a cousin who would go to see Broadway plays years ago and she would bring back albums for me to listen to and that’s how I got interested in things like West Side Story and that type of stuff. You’ve got to keep trying to pull something out of your hat. [laughs]
