PRESENTED BY MIKE DESTRUCTIVE

I was a singer/songwriter tired of barely staying above water in Los Angeles. So I bought a $150 RV, booked a 10 state solo tour and my dog and I set out on a grand adventure! Present day, I have been on the road for 150+ days, played over 30 shows and paid for the tour busking in every major city in the south.

I had no idea what I was really getting myself into. All I knew was Los Angeles was too expensive and living on the road full time would allow me to be a full time artist. I mean things are different. I feed myself with $25 a week and park on sketchy side streets but now I spend everyday moving my music forward.

Over the last 150 days I have played in front of every audience imaginable. Smokey Texas country bars with tough, expressionless cowboys to bustling college bars filled with very short attention spans, whatever the backdrop I found a way to reach my crowd. My show has become a dynamic journey built on crowd interaction which I probably pick up playing in the streets.

Most days for me I'm on a downtown street corner by 11am. I'll put in 4 hours singing at the top of my lungs. Then I'll take a break, count the earning and decide if I will need to do an evening shift. The whole time I'm smiling because, no matter what, I don't have to spend another minute working a job that has nothing to do with my future. Every minute I'm on the street I'm becoming a better artist, building new audiences and financing my career.

The decision to commit. To do whatever I takes to pursue my craft. Redefining my idea of comfort. I'm on my way. Currently being enchanted by New Orleans… Come Play.
