I had a busy week in New York and I flew back to Nashville for the final week of the Middle School Tour. What a better place to start than the music city. I didn’t get to do a meet and greet so I tried to hang out outside the bus to meet as many of the students as possible. The ones I did meet were so nice. J I’m currently on the way to Columbus and it feels like we’ve been driving FOREVER already.
Columbus
We got in way late last night and had an extremely early show. The bus driver got lost coming to pick us up for the show (lol) so I was pretty rushed this morning. This was one of the best crowds in a while. It was a really nice stage to perform on and there was SOO much energy on the floor. This was a good start to my 2 shows in Ohio.
Cleveland
It was another early show and another amazing crowd. I connected with these students so much. People were actually leaving class to come back and get stuff signed. Another amazing part of this day was getting to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. There was so much history in the building and it was really humbling experience. There was so much history and I am glad I got to be a part of it.
Detroit
After a few April Fools pranks last night, I finally got to visit DETROIT ROCK CITY!! Another great show and a pretty good Q&A. The students actually mobbed the table when they found out there were autographs. lol. The 8th graders didn’t get to go to the show so I actually hung out with a lot of them after school and we even sat around called Radio Disney. They were all really cool and I think that made their day and hopefully year. Last show of the tour is tomorrow. It has been sooo fun but a break wouldn’t hurt
**BETWEEN DETROIT AND CHICAGO!!
So we were on our way to Chicago and I’m on my laptop when I hear that something is wrong with one of the tires. We get out and SPARKS ARE FLYING from the equipment trailer. We pulled off the next exit and everyone starts panicking and tearing this tire apart and I just tried to make light of it all by playing ukulele and sitting in the bad tire. So by this time it’s night and we are still 3 hours from the show with no tire. We decide to get a hotel in the area. It turns out that the hotel we go to is actually an INDOOR WATER PARK!!! There was like nobody there and we got to run around and basically do whatever we wanted. There was an arcade they opened for us, and we even got to see how they operate the water slides. One wild thing about the park was the millions of animal heads hanging around the hotel. I guess the owner was a really big exotic animal hunter or something. Anyway, a new bus came and picked us up at 6am and took us to Chicago so I could make the show. This just shows that I never want to disappoint anyone!!!
Chicago
Last night was crazy and I can honestly say that the show in Chicago was the best one of all tour. I’m glad we went thru everything to get there. It was a day I won’t forget anytime soon. I love going to the schools where people already made signs and know the words to every song. It makes me feel amazing and those always turn out to be the best shows for me too. This tour has been a great experience and I got to see many new places and meet so many new people. I hope that I made a lot of new fans along the way too. If I came to your school, thank you so much for the support and the great responses. I hope to hear from every single one of you.
