Default First Tour

Hey guys. I just got back from my first tour with a rock band. I was picked up by the band HighMay who needed a fill in bassist for an 8 day Southeast US tour. We played shows in Thomas, WV - Wilson, NC - Durhman, NC - Charlotte, NC - and Fredericksburg, VA.

It was a blast! New city every day, interesting venues, fun locals, and great music. I can see now why musicians tour all the time, it is a great way to see the country. (although I could go without having to sleep in a van ever again!)

Here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure.
