2024 Montana Popsicle Tour, Tales from the Road
After our success in Belt at our last actual “full show”, it was a bit daunting to know we had to make the drive back to Seeley. It helped to know we were getting to play for more kids, and it helped that we had a day off in between to hang out with the...
2024 Montana Popsicle Tour, Tales from the Road
With MUCH better road conditions this morning, Jared and I made the hour and a half drive to Belt in a safe and (fairly) timely manner. That is to say, we left at 7:30 am and got there by 10:00…not dead. When we rolled into town, we spotted this really cool band up on a...
2024 Montana Popsicle Tour, Tales from the Road
No speed limit signs. No center divide line to speak of. No clue how to put on our tire cables. (We practiced with chains then found out we had to get cables…how different can they be?) No wonder we live in the PNW. Shortly after this picture was taken of Jared and I marveling at...
2024 Montana Popsicle Tour, Tales from the Road
Back to the beginning, where it all started last January at our MPAC (Montana Performing Arts Conference) auditions, in Fort Benton, MT. The drive was clear and beautiful. Our three-and-a-half-hour journey dropped us right into the middle of town at our lodging for the evening, “Emily’s Vacation Cottage”. A little, two bedroom, one bath, kitchen,...
2024 Montana Popsicle Tour, Tales from the Road
You know you’re getting into small town territory when the directions get oddly specific and sound like they’re being spoken from the mouth of an ancient guy in a rocking chair on the front stoop of a leaning, rickety, wooden home on the outskirts of town. “Oh, well, that’s easy. So, you’re gonna pass the...
2024 Montana Popsicle Tour, Tales from the Road
What do you do when you’re scheduled to play fifteen separate performances in thirteen days? Well, you call up a friend in a town you know and say, “Hi! We have one day off. Can we fill it with another gig?” Luckily, they were happy to have us and it ended up being a really...
2024 Montana Popsicle Tour, Tales from the Road
Every time we head into Montana, St. Regis is a perfect place to stop. About seven hours from Tacoma, it’s a nice break from the road and a safe and familiar place to stay for the night. The gas station/diner/souvenir store boasts a huge “Indoor Aquarium” that we have NEVER stopped to view, even the...
2024 Montana Popsicle Tour, Tales from the Road
Aaaaaaaaaand, we’re off….again! Judging by the time we spend on the road, you’d think we actually ENJOYED it. Oh wait…we DO!!! So, why Montana in the middle of Winter (an extremely MILD Winter at that) you ask? Well, a brief history. Last January, Jared and I had the opportunity to audition for a wonderful consortium...
2023 Summer Tour, Tales from the Road
After the previous night of rocking our brains out and staying up til 3:00 or so am, Jared, Rudy, and I woke up STARVING! We looked up breakfast places near us and were excited to find something within walking distance! The “19th Street Diner” fit the bill perfectly, and had exactly what we all needed...
