I don’t remember where I was when I felt I couldn’t do it anymore. Maybe at a rest stop. Or a Walmart Supercenter. Could’ve been House of Blues Chicago. Or Houston. Or Orlando. I don’t know because the faux New Orleans art and decor is the same in each one. If you played too many House of Blues on one tour, it had this disorienting effect of making everything feel familiar and foreign all at once. Like going to sleep in your bedroom and waking up in the living room.
Well it's time to get back out there, and as Aric said share yourself more! Whether as Envy, 1st Vows, VJ, or something else! The fanbase will follow you to whatever you do, and you're maybe one of 2-3 artists I would leave New England to see (but please play New England ha).
Thank you, Justin. I appreciate the encouragement. The online sharing (here + on social media) has admittedly been my focus as per Aric's advice, but getting back on stage is also part of the plan. I’ll be totally straight in saying that at the top of the year, I began prepping a 1V solo set because it was the easiest way to get back out there, but then I realized the collaborative element is what I miss most, so I abandoned it. It’s on my mind and it’s going to happen. Just have to figure out what it looks like. And I would definitely love to get back up to New England.
This is a fantastically personal story of honest accountability, maturity and bolstered with solid support. You fuckin nailed it, really enjoying everything you're doing on socials + here
Thank you! I’ve always loved the Bruce Lee “be like water” quote but living that phrase is easier said than done. Felt like this was the closest I’d come to putting it into practice. Glad you enjoyed it.
