Jamestown Story – TOUR TIPS

Acoustic pop band, Jamestown Story, were kind enough to write a set of Tour Tips that you guys can learn from. You can check them out after the break.

1. Be willing to work. touring is supposed to be fun but you’re also supposed to be gaining fans. if you’re only playing to ten or twenty kids a night (let’s face it, our first few tours end up going this way!) then you have to be willing to go out and find more people to promote your music to. malls are killer. we sold thousands of cd’s in malls around the country, gaining many fans a long the way and putting some extra money in our pockets. be creative and get out there and promote yourselves!
2. Be ok with seeing other men’s gentials. it tends to happen more than you’d think.
3. Be on time and organized. This is pretty essential.
4. Don’t eat McDonalds for a month straight. Though the $1 burgers are tempting, they also turn your a$$ into jello and give you terrible gas. Your bandmates won’t appreciate a month long binge of Mcdoubles and McChickens.
5. Have fun! A lot of bands spend their time on the road being stressed out about poor turnouts, having no money, and whatever else they can bitch about. But in the end, if you’re out touring you’re doing something that most bands don’t ever get to do. So enjoy it, work hard, and have a great time!
