Joal Rush – TOUR TIPS

In this Tour Tips segment, the melodic rock artist, Joal Rush, gives you his tips for being on tour. You can check out the feature, after the break.

1. WATER, WATER, WATER!!!
It’s so important to stay hydrated in general, but especially if you’re a singer, out on the road, giving into the temptations of alcohol and whatever else is abundantly available on this crazy ride! Some Throat Coat with honey and lemon never hurt anybody either…

2. PACK HEALTHY SNACKS
It’s extremely difficult to eat right while out on the road. Almonds, granola bars, trail mix, Apples, Oranges…these all pack easily, and your body will thank you for this nourishment. Trader Joes has been my savior for healthy/inexpensive snacks while on the road.

3. STRETCHING & EXERCISE
I like to shimmy, kick, stretch, aaaand KICK!!(SNL reference;)…seriously though, stretching is so important, especially if you’re spending countless hours traveling from gig to gig. Yoga is a great way to get both a good stretch, & muscle tone. DO IT!!

4. READING MATERIAL & HEADPHONES
A good book and a pair of cans for some peace & quiet will not only help you in the survival of your tour, but it will also enlighten, inspire, and keep you sharp. I personally enjoy a good autobiography of some of my favorite musicians.

5. SLEEEEEEP
Be sure to pack your favorite pillow & some comfy clothes…sleep can be hard to come by when you’re out burning the candle at both ends on tour, so you must be prepared to take advantage of those fleeting opportunities to catch some ZZZ’s
