Attempting sleep in the back of the bus on the soft mattress topper all wrapped up in the thickest blankets. Bump after bump I manage to dream a little between gas stops.

 

Breakfast Bar. Tea. Banana.

 

We arrive at The Alabama Theatre in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We played here not too long ago. Loading in and setting up the stage. Everyone is in a good mood and there’s plenty of time to spare.

 

PB&J Bagel.

 

Having a thorough sound check. Ed is assisting Sophie on sound engineer. Of course we do run into a few problems dealing with the drum mics but we sort it out.

 

 

They serve us a fully nutritious dinner of this dish called Chicken Bog, a South Carolinian mainstay with Chicken, Sausage, and Rice. The lady hosting made it from scratch at home. I love these kind of meals.

 

 

Putting on our show to a packed house – more people in the audience compared to last time actually. Letting the muscle memory kick in considering it’s been so long since we played these songs but we’re surprisingly tight.

 

 

Packing up and loading out.

 

Aaron drives the tour bus onward to Virginia Beach. Meanwhile, I connect my phone to the TV as we watch all the footage analyzing the sets. Laughing at all the funny moments.

 

Sleeping in the back of the bus for a couple hours.
