Switchfoot, a band of nearly three decades old, has achieved significant milestones in their career, including playing at South by Southwest for the first time and collaborating with blues guitarist Buddy Guy for a 2025 single titled "Last Man Standing." The band's drummer, Chad Butler, expressed excitement about the opportunity to collaborate with Guy, who is featured in his 2025 album. The band re-recorded their first single with him in 2023 in honor of their 20th birthday. They remain committed to staying in the moment and maintaining improvisation throughout their performances, which they believe are key moments of their live performances.
