Monitor engineer @RyanDoordan works with the VENUE | S6L while on tour with @VampireWeekend. The system’s intuitive design, which aligns perfectly with his workflow, made his transition to the S6L seamless. ▶️ audiotechnology.com/features/high-tech-vampires

Such an amazing run with @fatherjohnmisty and company. I was legitimately sad to leave the fam. Whether this is the start of something bigger for me or where I peak, I’m grateful to the generous people I got to play for and all the encouragement they gave me. As a cynical person who doesn’t typically leave his house, I was changed by the goodness I saw out there. Happy to have my bullshit corrected. I’ve revised this post a few times to make it less sentimental but rest assured the love I feel is very real. Thank you to everyone who I met, who listened, who I traveled with, and who joined me on stage. It was all the honor and privilege of a lifetime.

Great catching up with buddies @ryandoordan and @jg0ldsmith over coffee earlier this week as they stopped through with @vampireweekend. Ryan and I occupied the same touring niche for many years (and worked together a handful of times) & Josh and I lived together in Chicago from 2004-2007ish. Safe travels, friends!

Still on tour! Have I taken a lot of pictures in South America? Sort of. Are most of them of dudes eating dinner? Yes. Father John Misty tour continues tomorrow in Bogota!

Tour photo “dump”… it was a busy one! Didn’t have a ton of bandwidth for photographing what was a very busy month, but here are some (not all!) of the folks that make it go:

1 - backline + audio gang, @soundbyjjmfp @minethewell @rdoordan @t_mperry
2 - @kyleflynn crushing keys @stephencowanatgmaildotcom crushing lights.
3 - a pensive rhythm section, @jontitterington @juanifesto @drichardbailey
4 - Wine Boyz Wardrobe Services of Hollywood
5 - @fatherjohnmisty

I swore off tour managing years ago (except for Gillian Welch, anytime Gill!) because I would never have enough time in the day to do what I actually loved doing on tour: mixing. I’ve always been defacto production manager because most tours the size I’ve done don’t have a dedicated PM and, to be honest, I like being in control of my own destiny! However, these tours have gotten bigger and the PM position has gotten more demanding, and I have to decide where to put my time: PM, FOH, or IG? You can guess what was sacrificed in the last couple of weeks, sorry IG (FOH is still holding on strong!)⁣

I moved (very quickly) from Modest Mouse to Father John Misty at the end of July (Europe to US) and right into an incredible night at Red Rocks with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. Yet another FJM orchestra show but most likely my favorite in one of my favorite venues in the world. Fun fact: I was looking at a spreadsheet of shows that I attended as a fan of a certain band and my first time at Red Rocks was to see 4 nights of this band in 1996, with a little taster of the Allman Brothers the night before, 5 nights at Red Rocks! We’re getting the FJM “Chloe” album cycle going and did a few days in San Diego on the water as rehearsals and shows and are now a couple of weeks in. I’ll get some more technical posts out for this run including info on handling our streaming shows and bootleg series, getting back to my S6L after a tenuous time on the S3L in Europe, and anything else that pops up (let me know if you have questions, my PM brain wants to post about union labor scheduling, rigging, forklifts, and the best way to stack cases in the truck, help me!)⁣ ⁣ …continued…
