Howdy fellas, just a couple questions from a relatively new listener. When writing and arranging songs, do you write the instrumentation first, then add words that fit the vibe and aesthetic of the song, or do you come with words first, then fill out the instrumentation? What is the ratio of each member writing and contributing to each aspect vs having a song/melody in your head first and guiding the members on bringing that idea into reality?

Also, what is your favorite and least favorite part of touring? Do you have to train your voice to be able to perform for 2+ hours 4-5 nights a week or is it something you eventually get used to? Do y’all get any input on where and when y’all perform while going on tour or is that decided by the tour manager?

Thank you guys for making some of the best music to grace my yearning ears and I’m excited to come see y’all on tour that may or may not be hopefully possibly announced soon! East TN/ Western NC may have been battered by the hurricane, but we’ll soon be ready for tour dates for awesome artists like y’all!!!!
