Hosts

Cedar Point. It seems like we come here every couple of years (in the last 5 years we have been here 3 times). So, for the sponsors there really isn’t a ride most of us haven’t been on twice. With that frequency, you can imagine some of the magic has faded. That is,...

So, we are now in Sandusky, OH prepping for our day in Cedar Point tomorrow.  I am confident that I will have loads to say about that excursion. But today… not so much. We drove a lot. We went to dinner. We checked in the hotels. That’s about it. It’s just one of...

Tour 2023 is over half-way complete boys and squirrels! It never seems real. Both singers and sponsors spend an entire year prepping for tour just to have it flit away. I honestly feel like it just started. Everyone had spent the weeks and months before tour making...

Leaving New York City is kind of a surreal experience. In the morning we were holding up traffic and dodging pedestrians trying to get our suitcases loaded on the bus, and not an hour out of the city we were flying by corn fields. The contrast was jarring. Getting off...

I love the city. I know, I know, it’s not an opinion that is held by all. Especially, those of us that had a choice to live somewhere other than Saint Joseph but chose the city bountiful anyway. I’m one of those people (Emily and I actually live in Kansas City) but...

So, I’ve spent a good chunk of this blog dedicated to the contributions and exploits of Paul Lintern. One of the coolest things about New G is that relationships are formed as we come across people who are of like mind and spirit, and Paul is of course one of those....

One of the best parts of tour are the unplanned moments; unwritten, if you will. You may remember me talking about our friendship with Paul Lintern. Well, today Paul was helping add to the mission of tour all the way out here in Buffalo. He worked out a deal with some...

If there is a “routine” day on tour today, was it. Up in the morning to get picked up from our host families, scrambling to get all the suitcases and sleeping bags loaded up, and rolling out of Mansfield, OH on our way to Buffalo, NY. But, of course, no day on tour is...
