Heading North! – Wayland Tour Log 3/19/14
5 weeks ago The final batch of Florida shows on this run are over. The last show, at Aces on St Patty's Day, was one that we'll all remember for a long time. It was a benefit to raise money for an anti-child abuse organization.
We had so many friends come out! Some we've known since our first trip to Florida and others that we just met. It was so cool to see people from all over the state make the trip to say goodbye till next time!
I know there's a few Florida warriors even coming to The Intersection on April 5!

Daytona Bike Week! – Wayland Tour Log 3/12/14
March 12, 2014 Last night it felt so great to be on a big stage. We've been playing club dates all winter and I forgot the excitement that comes with being able to run and jump all over the stage.

Goodbye to Big Fancy – Wayland Tour Log 3/6/14
March 6, 2014 The show was a lot of fun last night. We had a good set but I was so excited to see Zach Myers, Zack Mack, and Chris Allen play. They killed it. At the end of their set we all went up on stage with them and jammed "Take it Easy" by The Eagles and "The Weight" by a The Band. Those guys are such amazing musicians , it's a true honor to play with them.

Heat Wave! – Wayland Tour Log 3/4/14
March 4, 2014 Last night really escalated quickly. I would love to have watched through the eyes of an outsider as the shenanigans ensued between us and our pals in Bobaflex. When we get together it's like high school kids who's parents have gone on vacation. We can't wait to break every rule we can think of and have the best time doing so!! Haha! We love those guys, and we love their music.

Ice, Fog and the Great Plains – Wayland Tour Log 3/2/14
March 2, 2014 Freezing!!! Our bus isn't insulated at all and there are many holes in it. We don't notice when it's sitting still with the heat cranked, but when we're going 70mph across the Kansas in 2 degree weather, it tends to be all we can think about. I can't get warm. I'm in my bunk, in my sleeping bag, under 2 blankets, and my feet are so cold they might fall off. Because the storm came through the area, we decided not to make the drive to KC last night. It was super foggy and slippery.

Coming Down the Mountain! – Wayland Tour Log 3/1/14
March 1, 2014 Yesterday was a crazy Friday. We loaded into the club at our usual 5 p.m.
Once we loaded in and sound-checked, Mitch and I started walking to meet our friend Ryan for dinner. It was a 35-minute walk to the Thai restaurant. We laughed the whole way there and talked about out plans for the next few months. Ryan ended up getting stuck at work and we had dinner -- just the two of us.

One Road Up a Mountain! – Wayland Tour Log 2/28/14
February 28, 2014 Wow! Back in the saddle again! We all spent the three "days off" working from morning to night.
Our days were filled with running errands, getting gear fixed, and booking shows,and planning tour routing. I don't think I set my phone down hardly at all during the break. My plan was to spend time with my guitar but there just wasn't enough hours in the day.

Counting Down the Days to Thursday Night – Wayland Tour Log 2/23/14
February 23, 2014 It's been a wild and intense 24 hours since my last tour log. Yesterday, 2 hours before load in, we found out that the venue never got a sound man for the show. They had a great system, with a beautiful digital soundboard, with no one to run it! This could have easily resulted in canceling the show. Luckily within the hour we got a hold of our friend Rob, who we met through Royal Bliss, and he happens to live in Logan! He was scheduled to leave for a gig in Paris, France that afternoon that had JUST gotten canceled! He came and saved the day!

One Road Out of Salt Lake City – Wayland Tour Log 2/22/14
February 22, 2014 Last night was fantastic in Salt Lake City! There were some little road bumps in sound and production as usual, but nothing team Wayland couldn't overcome. For those instances we have a secret weapon, his name is Chip! Haha! We had a fantastic turn out and the local bands were great to work with! I was so tired by the time I got into my bunk at the end of the night.

One Road Out of Idaho Falls – Wayland Tour Log 2/21/14
February 21, 2014 We had an awesome show in Idaho Falls last night! The radio stations from both Pocatello and Idaho Falls came out to show their support and the turn out was fantastic. We are so excited to get back to Idaho!
After the show, we stopped back at our home-stay's house to get our luggage. Mitch was the only one that ended up showering. I was planning on it but by that time I was so tired I just wanted to sleep.
