“I’m new to Memphis and new to Tennessee. As an independent artist, I basically do everything by myself, so I did my own booking for the month-long tour I just finished in October. I scheduled the last show of the tour in Tennessee, but I kinda didn’t do the math. I just thought, ‘Well, I live in Tennessee, so that’s cool. It’ll be a quick trip home after I’m done.’ But it turned out that Johnson City is on the opposite end of the state. It was a learning experience. I found out the hard way that just because you have two gigs in Tennessee doesn’t mean they’re going to be close to each other. In New Jersey, where I’m from, everything is close together. And all the states are pretty close to each other too. Not the case in Tennessee. Yeah.”
