Summer Tour Blog


Not even that long ago we began our tour and now we're on our way back to Nebraska.
It has been an absolutely amazing time playing music in the many different states these last few weeks. We've been able to meet so many new people during this tour as well as seeing a lot of familiar faces.

We'd definitely like to thank the many different people who have helped us out during this tour; all of the people who gave us places to sleep, places to play music, and all of you who helped us out by buying our CD's, shirts, and posters. We couldn't have done it without all of you.

Over the last four and a half weeks we have had the opportunity to play music in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. It has been an absolutely amazing experience playing music in the many different venues in these states.

One amazing experience in particular was while staying in southern Illinois. We had about three days off, but wanted to see if we could get something set up during our time off. We started calling different churches in the area to see if we could find a youth group to play at, not sure if anything would really happen. After calling about fifty different churches we found one youth pastor who was interested in having us play that evening.

We didn't expect very many people on such short notice, maybe 25 total, but were happy just to find somewhere to play. There actually ended being about 75 people. We had an amazing time doing a concert for the youth group. It can be amazing seeing God work.
