Do you love me and I will just find. I'm just. Hey guys, Jessica here with Mr. G Love. How are you doing, sir?
I'm doing good. How are you doing, Jessica?
Oh, I'm doing just fine. You're doing just what? I'm doing just fine. Mhm. How is your trip at South by Southwest so far?
I'm working but I feel like I'm on vacation right at this moment.
Well, yeah, cuz we're like sharing a special intimate moment that like not many. I mean, in a hammock, like in a hammock, it's very nice.
Women come, women go. For something real you got to take it slow.
Now, it's cool cuz you just see so many uh people that are obviously musicians. Well, it's like the musicians have And Austin's already a really musical city, but now it's like the musicians. Now, do they support your shows as well? Cuz you have you're playing here at South by Southwest.
I don't know. I always say that like if anyone's like, "Oh, I was trying to come." I was like, "You should have just said you came because I wouldn't have known anyhow."
I'll be just fine if you give me just half of your time. Your kiss is so delicious like a glass of fine wine. I'm gonna drink it up.
Now, whenever you're on the road, like I know I'm like a Blackberry, like VBM girl. How do you stay in touch with like your fans?
I stay in touch with my fans through my Twitter a lot, like I'm on that. I'm I would say I'm addicted to that. I enjoy that interaction seeing how they feel about the show or feel about the record or It's only weird when you meet people that you're actually Twittering with and you're like, "Oh, oh, okay." really like, "Yeah, I read your blog." and like, "Oh, you someone reads that."
Yeah, I have to point out one of the lyrics in your song that, you know, you're playing for us. You said you were laying in bed and you did not know her name.
I'm laying with this girl. I don't know her name. And I don't love her have been long to this girl that I'm back home.
I am hoping that when we get out of the hammock, you know my freaking name. I already know it. You good. Because I'm like, this guy doesn't even know her name. I feel bad for that girl. Like that was sad. Now, you have a new album fix and die. Tell us tell me a little bit about that.
It's uh really kind of going back to my roots as a blues player and as a coffee shop musician.
You've been with Young Hollywood before and you taught Amanda like the harmonica. Oh, yeah. Are you going to teach me guitar? Yeah. I want to I want to learn to sing guitar because the only thing like as musically as I get is like the old school like Oh, yeah. Yeah, come on. give me some beats. Come on. Come on. I had it going. Yes, please. Okay, ready? Oh, yeah. G love in the house.
I think she can move her hand faster than I can move my mouth, though.
