Live in Washington

The song you sing in the shower is:

The theme song to "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood."

What job would you have if you didn't do this?

Band manager, but that is already my second job. I have a management company called Go Team! Music, and I manage Rocknoceros, Chelsea Lee and [brother] Luke Brindley -- all incredible talent from the D.C. area.

Most memorable rider clause, and did you fulfill it?

One artist would always request an ironing board and an iron so she could iron her hair! Yes, we fulfilled it. We like to think that artists get the royal treatment here.

When was the last time you were star-struck by an artist?

Tom Morello, from Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, has been to Jammin' Java twice. It was beyond trippy when I was working at my desk, looked out the door and down the hallway, and Tom Morello himself was walking toward me with some very mundane logistical question about his show. It was just Tom and me in my office. It was very exciting but very awkward.

Is it cool to ask for an autograph?

In general? Yes. "Fan" is short for "fanatic," and I think getting autographs is an exciting part of the whole experience for an artist's followers.

Favorite guilty pleasure band that your friends would never suspect?

Kelly Clarkson. Sorry, but her record "Breakaway" has some perfect pop songs on it.
