Bliss N Eso Pt.1: Battling Withdrawls in Afghanistan with Eso

Can you imagine rocking a show in a warzone, using military vehicles as your stage? When Bliss N Eso did a tour of Afghanistan, Eso was waging an internal war of his own. These guys are known for using their music to speak to real issues. They’ve written lyrics about poverty, politics and climate change, but when we spent some time with Eso he shared about one of the most personal songs he’s ever written. Strap yourself in, this story is an incredible ride. To begin with, we asked Eso to share what life was like for him growing up.
