I am sad to say this is our last “On The Road” with The Rocketboys. : ( I can’t wait until they come back to South Carolina so we can work with them again. They are finishing up this tour tomorrow night in Austin.
Our last entry comes from Mitch of The Rocketboys.
After our second round [...]
Week 3 of our summer tour has been an eventful one, to say the least. Probably what tops the list is that we received our final mastered album from the mastering house. Alan Douches at West West Side Music (Sufjan Stevens, Animal Collective, etc..) mastered the album, and we are SUPER pumped about it. It’s [...]
Day 2 – Westgate Mall, Spartanburg, SC
I’m beginning to feel like a shopaholic. In the past 3 days, we’ve been in 3 very different malls. While Rock Hill’s
Mall seemed pretty slow for a Tuesday, Westgate Mall in Spartanburg proved pretty surprising for only being a Wednesday. When we’ve done Hot Topic events in Columbia, people [...]
So here we are, and the first day is done. Our first destination of the tour was the The Galleria in Rock Hill, which is conveniently located right off of I-77, only about an hour or so from Columbia. Touring Hot Topic’s verses regular venues is a whole new concept to us, and because of [...]
WEEK 2
This past week has been really great for The Rocketboys. We’ve gotten to play some great venues, meet some great people, and visit some great places (the 3 G’s). But before I tell you about any of it, I must tell you what may be the best story of them [...]
WEEK 4

This week has been challenging for us.
We’ve had broken amps, broken drum heads, and have had to repair our trailer twice. Chicago, IL was our last show with our friends, Scouts. We already miss them dearly. 1 guitar amp blew, and one pedal board crapped out. The next night we [...]
WEEK 1
“I just threw up ten times in a porta-potty.” I never would have guessed that I would actually have to say that sentence ever in my life. But just a few days ago I was saying it over and over again at Cornerstone Music Festival in Bushnell, IL.
Other [...]
WEEK 3 – “It ain’t lobster and caviar every night, boys”

There is sometimes a misconception that we live the lives of badass rock stars on the road. There is nothing farther from the truth. While we do get to play every night and see lots of different parts of the country, there [...]
For the past two weeks I have been out on the road with my band The Fire Tonight. While we only had one SC date in the whole bunch, David and I agree that Southeastern coverage effects our lovely little music scene here. So, without further delay I present “The Best, Worst and Most Surprising [...]
WEEK 2
We are ending week number two. And we’re all ready for a day off. But, this tour has been incredibly rewarding. We parted ways with O’Brother for two days as they went to be with our good friends, Dignan, in McAllen and San Antonio, TX for their album release.
This past week we’ve played a [...]
The past few days of our lives have been reminders of how amazingly blessed we are as a group of people to do what we do.
We’ve welcomed back Sean Pritchard as our tour manager. Great to have him back with us on the road. We’ve also been honored to have our buddy, Creigh, [...]
Starting today we are kicking off a new series of posts called “On The Road.” The series will consist of pictures and tour journals of South Carolina bands that are out on tour living the dream. Right now there are not many SC bands hitting the road, but hopefully in the future that number [...]
