Midwest Tour Recap

Maybe pictures will tell it best. My few days out in Minneapolis Minnesota and Chicago Illinois were unforgettable.

A lot of these beautiful people traveled a few hours to make it to these shows and coffeeshop meetups, and that means the world to me. Gives me quite a bit of motivation to keep going.

Here’s us at the meetup in Chicago:

My first time meeting somebody with two tattoos of my lyrics, both of them that I wrote out for him in my handwriting over the last few years. Was insanely cool to meet David in person.

Sail Up The Sun performed live at Subterranean in Chicago. Cell phone video, but the energy is great so I wanted to upload this. Thank you everyone for singing the words. Video by John Clawson!


The day before that, Minneapolis gave us such a warm welcome which was really nice considering we arrived on the tail end of a pretty harsh blizzard and flew straight into some cold temperatures. It was crazy for me to play in Minneapolis for the first time. Minneapolis is a place where a lot of my musical heroes originated from (Bob Dylan, Eyedea & Abilities, many more). Kristoff Krane was in the audience as I performed which was pretty damn cool to me. The cozy venue gave everyone no choice but to feel close together, and that was nice.

Here are some highlights, starting with the coffeeshop meetup and then some cool moments that got captured from the show:

It goes without saying that it felt inspiring for me to get out of my element and to get out of New York for a minute. I will be back, hopefully very soon. Thank you to Ceschi for inviting me out on these tour dates, and thank you to every single person who showed up in MN and IL to cement these as unforgettable shows of mine. Some of my favorites of all time, for real.

Next stop, Los Angeles on May 2nd, followed by Philly on May 15th!
