The tour kicked off at the Study in Thunder Bay, but the first official show was in Sault Ste Marie at Bottom’s Up.

It was great to hang out with some old friends, and also feel like touring makes a difference. Watching attendance grow always puts a smile on my face, because I can see progression between tours!

I played a VERY long set that night (3 sets actually). After about 3 hours, I finished up, and then everyone was still hanging out, silent. So awkwardly I finished, and then 5 minutes later, went back up to play another few songs since everyone still wanted to hear more! What a great way to start the tour!
