Jim "Soni" Sonefeld - Hootie and The Blowfish - Full Interview - Video

“Sometimes the moment that you think is the worst moment, the worst thing to happen, turns out to be, in hindsight, something that was necessary, maybe even profoundly a gift.”

I spoke with Jim “Soni” Sonefeld of Hootie and The Blowfish. We discussed:

• His autobiography, “Swimming With the Blowfish: Hootie, Healing, And One Hell Of A Ride”.

• Overcoming his addictions.

• Writing about his tumultuous times in a way that did not let himself off the hook, but also did not harm his bandmates, friends, or family.

• The thrill and the pressure that comes with releasing one of the best selling debut albums of all time.

• Hearing the crowd at one of Darius Rucker’s solo concerts sing along to “Hold My Hand,” which Soni wrote.
