EP 133: Kelsey González: Anderson .Paak and the Free Nationals, Balancing touring and surfing, Favorite surfers on the Championship Tour, Surfing the Surf Ranch with Kelly Slater, Bobby Martinez, and The link between music and surfing

Kelsey González, bassist for The Free Nationals and surfer, joins
The Lineup to talk about the connection between music and surfing.
He starts with his experience in surfing, growing up in Orange
County and surfing up and down the California coast, how he
balances surfing with touring, his love for Bobby Martinez, his
favorite surfers and stops on the Championship Tour, watching the
tour from all over the world, and getting the opportunity to surf
and play music at the Surf Ranch with Kelly Slater. Then he
switches over to talk music. He describes the origins of Anderson
.Paak and The Free Nationals to winning a Grammy with Anderson
.Paak, working with Dr. Dre, nerves when performing live in front
of massive crowds, playing music and surfing with Flea, Anthony
Keidis, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the difference between
concerts in the US and abroad, and the career achievement he’s most
proud of. Follow Kelsey here.  Learn more about The Free
