Wingspan: How do you prepare for a show?

Wingspan: How do you handle your mistakes during a performance?
Bullitt: “A lot of the songs that I perform are songs that I write so if I mess up most people don’t know. I usually make up something on the spot if I mess up during the performance.”
Wingspan: How did you start doing these gigs?
Bullitt: “I started a couple years ago, I just wanted to learn guitar, and I started learning a couple of other instruments as well. Once I started performing I liked it more and more so I just kept growing with instruments and singing..

Bullitt: “I would say go for it. It’s a chance to show what you can do and you shouldn’t have to hide what you’re talented at.”
