Super stoked about this tour. Never been on tour before, and I get to do it with some of the best human beings I know. Five guys crammed in a fifteen passenger van, staying in one bedroom motel 6s all across the midwest for 20 days, playing music. What’s better than that?
I’ve never been to any of these states, so I’m really excited to see a ton of new stuff. New ecosystems and climates, different types of animals and trees and wildlife, new buildings and architecture, new food and people. It’s gonna be a really cool adventure. I think I’m most excited for nashville, just based on all the amazing thing’s I’ve heard about it, it really seems like its my vibe. I know some of the guys are also real siked for chicago as well. Some of these cities I literally know nothing about, so that’s gonna be interesting as well.
It’s pretty dang scary actually. First tour, no idea what I’m doing, preforming in front of people night after night. V afraid of technical issues and things failing and going wrong. Expecting everything to go wrong, and really praying nothing does.
All in all though, this is gonna be one hell of a journey, and I’m just incredibly grateful for every aspect of it.
