CJ Cutshall, age 28, is an Atlanta native now living in Charleston, SC. Harlow, who recently relocated to Charleston, nabbed this newest talent after seeing his videos on the city's community forum. Since her own drummer had quit to work with another artist, Harlow hired him on-the-spot, adding him to her band's roster and boosting him on her Instagram. We sat down with CJ before his first big festival playing Outside Lands in San Francisco, CA.
