I love California. It definitely represents wild freedom.

A lot of festivals can be a jumble of electronic music and rock and roll, and everything's all mixed up - some things are more performance art or light shows or dance parties, and then you'll have a singer-songwriter stuck in the middle to make the changeovers easier.

As ugly as the truth is, it's even uglier when someone says out loud what you've been thinking to yourself.

I wasn't the same person I was eight months ago, and that was okay with me. Sometimes change was good. Sometimes it was even exactly what you needed.

I love California. It definitely represents wild freedom.

When it's a folk festival, there's more of an intention on the song and connecting with people.
