Alright, so Winterjam has been underway for 4 weeks now, and I haven’t said a word. Just pathetic. I apologize.
The problem is I’m having way too much fun on the tour, and I haven’t had the discipline to sit my butt down and write about it. Plus, Mark Anderson (our stage manager) and I may have snuck a tiny trip to New York City in between tour stops…I know. Shame on us :)
So here’s where we’ve gone so far…
Charleston, WV – Rehearsals and first show.
Raleigh, NC – good times
Charlotte, NC – more good times
Orlando, FL – some more good times
Jacksonville, FL – really good times
Tampa, FL – a guy licked Kari Jobe’s guitar player’s shoe. Yes. you read that right.
Atlanta, GA – I got sick and threw up. Not good times.
NEW YORK CITY! – Went and saw David Letterman
Des Moines, IA – First snow of the tour
St. Charles, MO – good times again
Ft. Wayne, IN – you know what I’m going to say here
Reading, PA – good times
State College, PA – currently good times.
And here’s a few photos…
What’s up Winterjam!
Skillet blows up…
Oh, nope. They’re just fine.
There are 140 people on this tour, and it’s been a blast getting to know everyone. You got Skillet, Peter Furler and band, Kari Jobe and band, Building 429, Newsong, Group1Crew, Dara Mclean, For King & Country, We As Human, Brock Gill, Nick Hall, Pie the Catering man, Steve the Jib operator, Lloyd the monitor man, Bobby the tour pastor, Jessie the merch man, Kendra the assistant tour manager and on and on and on…and what’s so great is that everyone is great. It’s quickly becoming a great little family.
So anyway, it’s been a great month on Winterjam, and I’m excited that we have a couple more to go. For now though, I’m hungry and it’s dinner time. Peace out.
Oh, and here’s a couple photos from New York…
