Quotes From Steven Satterfield

"Live music is much like eating at a restaurant because you're going to be presented with something and consume it, whether it's through your ears or through your mouth, and it's over when it's over, but you get a feeling, right? And I think that's the thing that is so cool about both, that they can be presented in a way that can give you an impression and a feeling, and can make you just excited or revved up, or calm and relaxed, or whatever it might be. There's a lot of different emotions you can experience. Food is definitely very sensory. And it's something we have to do every day to survive, but it's also pleasurable." - Steven Satterfield

"When you grow up in a place, and you feel like you were fostered in a culture, and you get some legacies that are passed down, it's a gift that you have to treasure and hold on to and respect and also pass down yourself... Especially growing up in a place like Savannah. There's so much history there. And I felt like there were a lot of things that I don't want to forget and I wanna hold on to and share with others. And something about just the state of Georgia, I have a real affinity for. I think it's a really unique place." - Steven Satterfield
