I Need To Tour NOW.

I worked with a great crew tonight that reminded me of how much I love being on the road. There’s a certain sense of family, a bond that you can’t explain to people. It’s something you have to experience to truly understand. You’re a group of people literally thousands of miles from home at any given time and you only have each other for support in a space that’s never bigger than your kitchen. Sure you make phone calls back home and send pictures and emails, etc… but it’s just not the same as being with actual people. You also get the feeling of being part of something bigger, something important, especially if you’re with a band you believe in. You bring a show to hundreds or thousands of people every day that makes them excited and happy, that affects them and changes their lives, it inspires them. It’s a very fulfilling and satisfying thing to be a part of. You actually feel like you contribute something, that your efforts have a positive effect on people.

 

I miss that. I need it. I crave being a part of it. I literally feel a void and I know exactly why it’s there and what I need to fill it.

 

Right now I don’t care if I tour as a tech or as a musician. I need to get on the road. Part of me feels dead without it.
