2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
As we set out on this tour, I decided to call it the “Fighting the Good Fight” tour, and I 100% believe we did just that. I’m reminded of a quote from the “Day 1” blog, “if nothing matters, then everything matters.” Everything we did mattered. When we were tired but showed up anyway. To...

We were put in contact with a tattoo artist named Kyle Wood of Woodwork Tattoo in Manette, WA. On Sundays he brings in local bands and records them in his beautiful tattoo space. There’s even a stage in there for shows! As a connoisseur of the fleshy art type, I was SO STOKED to be...
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
I woke up at 6:30 am Saturday morning. Wide awake with nothing to do, no real scenery to look at or speak of (we had pulled over in Snoqualmie for the night) and a knot in my stomach. We needed to make it through the toughest day on the road yet. Two festivals in one...
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
A gorgeous morning with amazing people really helped keep us calm. With home being a short three hours away, but knowing we still had four shows before we could get there, we were all a little out of sorts. Rudy mostly. Thankfully, our lovely hosts, Iak and Dena, have three grown children, so they understand...
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
Home of the “Worlds BEST Huckleberry Milkshakes”. After four years of passing this place either coming into or leaving MT, and for some reason NEVER being able to stop there, we FINALLY made it! Home of the “Best shake EVER”… The ever elusive huckleberry milkshake that this whole state boasts about with their signs and...
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
Since the imposter huckleberry milkshakes were such a disappointment, I wanted to introduce Rudy to the wondrous world of snow cones!! Especially on this 95° day… They did NOT disappoint! Rudy got orange and root beer flavor (🤢), I got fruit punch and piña colada, and Jared got peach! They were perfect. Rudy particularly enjoyed...
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
We love Keystone. Although it definitely is quite touristy, there really are fun things to do there. So, we did a bit of it! It was very hot, so we limited our outside time. But it was still a great day! So, we kept score for fun and taught Rudy the importance of good sportsmanship,...
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
One of the things we love about traveling is the small adventures we get to take. Sometimes they pan out, sometimes not. This morning, we wanted a little more of a breakfast than a coffee shop pastry or an apple, so we drove down the one road in this town just past the rest stop...
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
We’ve played in bars before where the lights have gone out and no one’s left when the night is over. The dark and lonely feeling left when you’ve just poured your heart out and you literally hear crickets at the end. This was NOT THAT. Ben is a guy well-known in Yankton and surrounding areas...

If you were wondering what an Indian taco was, this is it. You only need to order one. Ground beef, lettuce, onions, cheddar cheese, tomato, jalapeños, salsa, and sour cream….all on top of a delicious memory foam mattress. Heather’s Indian Fry Bread is famous in these parts. Sweet, crunchy, fluffy and incredibly filling. After eating...
