"Music is meant to be a conversation between people and so its crucial as an artist to get out there, to listen and talk, learn from the conversations, and take the conversations to new places," he said.
As a veteran musician, Cardiff knows the ins and outs of putting on a good show.
"I believe that all live shows are about weddings and fistfights - it's all a matter of degree, presentation and intensity," said Cardiff.
This philosophy has proven itself effective over the many years he has been on the road, and this road has taken him much farther than most folk/acoustic artists out there.
Touring extensively over the years, he has travelled down many of the back-roads that weave through Canada and the United States. He has learned a great deal about the local scenes of these cities and towns, and feels that Canada has great potential when it comes to music.
"The biggest difference I've come across is how the U.S. has so many older, established cities, steeped in the culture and appreciation of music," said Cardiff. "As Canadians, I feel like we're still growing those audience bases and listening rooms."
Whether it's with the intensity of a back alley brawl, or the elegance of a beautiful wedding, Cardiff wants the audience to experience something truly unique.
