Intersections Artist: Reverb

An Interview with Steve Langley

Jacqueline Lawton: What type of artist are you?
Steve Langley: An a cappella vocal group

JL: Where were you born? How did you end up here?
SL: DC. Reverb sprang from a community chorus that sang Christmas carols in 1990.

JL: Who are your heroes?
SL: Jesus, Martin Luther King.

JL: If you could be an animal, what you would be and why?
SL: A flock of late-morning song birds.

JL: If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?
SL: Historically, we've been to Africa, the Persian Gulf and the Carribbean. Over the past decade, our talent has taken us all around the Beltway. We'd love to be anywhere where we could be paid to sing, get a great free meal, stay in an expenses-paid classy hotel and get back home before our carriage turns into a pumpkin.

JL: List five words that describe your personality.
SL: Spiritual, cordial, close-knit, energetic, reserved.

JL: What is your personal theme song?
SL: The one we're singing at the moment.

JL: What is your favorite quote?
SL: "In God we trust."

JL: What is the best advice that you can give?
SL: Get cash!

JL: Why did you want to be a part of intersections?
SL: To conceptualize and perform a theme concert (and not feel compelled to sing mostly cover tunes).

JL: What do you think will be cool about the festival?
SL: The diversity of local artists performing under the same chic umbrella.

JL: How do you feel your performance fits into the festival?
SL: Like a pair of sensible shoes.

JL: Finish this sentence: I am an intersection of ...
SL: Take 6 and the Teletubbies.
