Amazing experience with the Starkey Hearing Foundation + more adventures in Cabo!

Kari and my recent adventures in Cabo have had some very moving moments! It has been so beautiful down here and the love of the community is the icing on the cake. 

Yesterday we joined a true hero, Bill Austin, and his fantastic team at the Starkey Foundation to bring hearing to hundreds of kids and adults! We worked aside the team, fitting patients with hearing aids and spreading the gift of hearing.

I broke out my guitar to play with some of the kids as they began to hear. Watching their faces and entire beings light up when they heard music for the first time was the coolest experience. I think it brought us nearly as much joy as it did them! Check out the video below from the Starkey Foundation.

Earlier in the weekend I made a surprise appearance at the Cantina , hopping on stage and playing with Cabo Uno to debut my newest song "No Worries" – it was a blast!!!

I also had the chance to roam around Cabo with Jorge for a bit to say "hi" and check in with the locals to see how they were doing after the events of the Hurricane Odile — everyone was in good spirits and happy to be getting back on their feet. It was something I haven't done in a while and it felt so nice to recieve that love from the locals in the community. We also did a bit of cooking and preparation for my new book, "Are We Having Fun Yet?" and afterwards we even got a chance to do a little recording for Listen Carefully on the beach in the perfect Cabo weather.

Finally, to top it all off, I got to play one of the wildest games of golf I've ever had in Cabo. I seriously cannot get over how crazy this was! No photoshop involved here folks, I actually managed to land this birdie (unintentionally) right on top of a CACTUS!!
