- This summer, my band and I set
out on a road trip across America, and we got to
meet super rad people in small towns and big cities alike.
But we had another goal as well.
We wanted to connect people
through the power of music, which we love.
So we partnered with Citibank
and design this super cool mobile recording studio
where anyone could hop, aboard
and sing a duet with yours truly,
if they wanted.
We stopped in several cities and I'm
proud to say the people of Dallas really brought it.
Just take a look.
