True-Blood.net: How are you feeling tonight? Are you excited to be nominated?
Nathan Barr: I’m good. I am, really excited. This is the first award since I started True Blood that I’ve been nominated for, so that’s really cool.

TBN: Congratulations! Have you started anything for season 3 yet?
NB: I just started today, actually. In one of the episodes there’s some on-camera musicians playing, so I just started writing stuff for them. And I just read the first two episodes, which are amazing.

TBN: Cool! I heard a rumor that you recorded something with the guitarist from ZZ Top. Are we going to hear that?
NB: Yes, we did. Billy Gibbons and I have been friends ever since Dukes of Hazzard when we did the score together. We  wrote a song as a potential for the True Blood main title. Jace’s song had already been picked, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I didn’t try something. So I’m hoping that will get a place in season 3.

TBN: Well on behalf of all your fans at True-Blood.net, we’re really excited for you and good luck tonight.
NB: Thank you and thanks for all of your support, it means a lot!
