Atlanta-based singer-songwriter Curtis Harding might take people's breath away on the regular with his gospel-tinged tracks, but this past weekend the tables were turned on him as he played one of the most scenic music festivals in North America—Sasquatch! The groovy star played Saturday, May 26th on the Bigfoot stage. We managed to catch him for a super quick Q&A. Check it out:
We’re just about half way through 2018 at this point - what’s been an unexpected highlight for you?
How beautiful it is out here! It’s breath taking.
Which track of yours is your best “festival” song? And why?
“The Drive” because it’s groovy and we drive a lot to make you groove.
What’s your measure of success for a festival set?
The feeling that I get from the crowd. If we did our job well it’s always good energy.
