This special Like A Farmer Podcast episode features two standout artists gearing up for the Tortuga Music Festival: Colbie Caillat and Chandler Walters. Each one joins us for separate conversations about their careers, creative journeys, and what fans can expect at Tortuga. Colbie Caillat takes us back to the origins of her breakout hit “Bubbly”, how that song changed everything, and why she’s now embracing a transition into country music. She talks about moving to Nashville, learning to two-step, and what fans can expect from her Tortuga Festival set list. Rising artist Chandler Walters shares his wild journey from songwriter to sharing stages with Post Malone and ERNEST. He breaks down the moment he asked Post Malone that question, how ERNEST discovered him, what it’s like being part of major tours like the Big Ass Stadium Tour, and what to expect from him at Tortuga.
