It’s been non-stop action for the past two weeks on the Young Dubs’ tour. So far, we’ve played seven shows; missed one due to a blizzard; and appeared on 3 radio spots.
Our first show, opening night, was at the Bouquet in Boise, Idaho. Everything went smoothly, though nerves were on the edgy side due to all the new music and gear we now featured. Good thing we had rehearsals back in LA! I espec ially am getting used to having new in-ear monitors, which are hardwired and tethered to my belt with a carabiner. Call me the off-road rocker!!
A couple of nights later, we shared the bill with the 90’s alt-rock mega-band the Gin Blossoms, who proved that fame and fortune does not have to result in being completly jaded... the guys in the band were very cool with us. After this show, we hit the trail from Seattle to D.C....
And got stuck in a blizzard in Nebraska, resulting in our missing the big sold out show at the Wolftrap in Vienna, Virginia. You win some, you lose some. However, the folks at the Wolftrap were very gracious and understanding; we hope to get back there and make it up!
Afterwards we headed for Charlottesville, Virginia, and an appearance at the IS Venue, and an interview and acoustic performance at WNRN & WCNR radio stations.
We went on to Fletcher’s in Baltimore, The Note in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and last night at Peabody’s in Cleveland. Touch wood, the gear is holding up famously (and I’ve gotten used to the tethered in-ears!) and the band is playing very tight now. I am looking forward to the rest of this week’s shows in western Chicago area, and Notre Dame University!
