2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
Hard to believe we’ve only been gone ten days. Lifetimes of epiphanies have come and gone within our time here. We are grateful for what this corner of the states has shown us and what we’ll be taking home. On a lighter note…while we were here, WE WERE SPOILED ROTTEN!! Jennie cooked for us everyday....
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
My friends. It’s the 4th of July. A traditionally celebrated day of independence! A day to link arm in arm as a varied and unique but UNITED nation. But I don’t feel like that today. I feel like today is a somber day to reflect on the pain our beautiful country is in. Not a...
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
So, in referencing Thursday, from “Days 1-4” blog, I’d like to remind you all that I, very sweetly, asserted myself into a conversation with a young man at the Hub that night and convinced him to convince his boss that we should play a gig at her restaurant, The Snag, a little floating dock bar...
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
A complete new vibe greeted us for the Saturday night gig. Word had gotten out that we were in town and people wanted to come see for themselves. So it was a pretty full bar. However, people felt tired. Partied out already or saving themselves for more partying later in the weekend, there was just...
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
Our hosts, Randy and Jennie, had offered to tour us around their beautiful area when we had time. Well, today we had time and we were truly in for a treat. After a breakfast of fresh-from-the-garden veggie-and-fruit smoothies, we piled into Randy’s truck for an adventure. The goal was to end up at The Gorge,...

We went into the Hub around 7:30. All business and ready. We had spent the afternoon resting, changing strings, putting together a set list, practicing some tunes, and then got to enjoy an amazing dinner of homemade sweet onion soup, days-ago caught salmon, garden-picked mustard greens, and homemade bread, broiled in olive oil with fresh...
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
We were facing a little bit of nervousness about our shows this weekend, as we were informed by the owner of the bar after seeing our posters come in two weeks ago that, “We are a redneck bar. Tell them not to bring any of their LGBTQ stuff here.”… We’re used to getting all kinds...
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
The First 4 Days Because we haven’t been playing any shows just yet, I decided to combine the first few days of our tour into one blog. Otherwise, each day would be more of the same: driving, eating, sleeping, ing, ing, ing. This way, I can just mention some highlights! Monday: Off We Go After...
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
The first blog of the tour usually sets the stage for what the rest of the trip will be, and this summer is no exception…except that it feels like even more of a necessity now than ever. As we drive through so much of this country, I see land. Land that people were pushed from...
