Cardiff can turn any setting into an intimate affair. And while he's touring, he makes a point of keeping the relationship with his fans personal, as he invites and accepts any opportunity to make his audience as much a part of the performance as he is. "The shows that I enjoy the most happen in places where it's most intimate," Cardiff told "The Ontarion". "I just like places where people make music or want to have music made for them. I've always felt pretty lucky to a part of that." Cardiff has played with and opened for Glen Phillips, Lucy Kaplansky, Dan Bern, Natalia Zukerman, Andy Stochansky, Sarah Harmer, Kathleen Edwards, Blue Rodeo, Gordon Downie, Hawksley Workman, Sarah Slean, Skydiggers, 54-40 and more.
