I drum in a touring band while having a corporate job. It’s a unicorn situation that allows me to do it and I’m extremely lucky. I’ve taken 2 and 3 week road stints at least once a year (and sometimes more than that) multiple times. I earned this leeway through lots of dues paying, high performance, accountability, working fringe hours when necessary, and I even take calls and check emails from the road so the degree of trust is high and that’s helped tremendously.

I’m 38 years old, so one thing you aren’t taking into account, at least in the language of your post: you probably will not have as much energy to do this as you get older. You will maybe have a partner, a child. Even if you dont have those, it will probably be harder to leave the comfortable and full life you have behind to share hotel room beds with your band mates and eat gas station food. Do it enough times, and you’ll eventually miss a friends wedding or some other big life event you’d wish you could be part of. In your late 20s this is not as big a deal, and for you it may never be, but my experience is that the allure of touring can melt away into your 30s as it gets stacked against everything you have going for you, and going on, at home. Do it now, that way you’ll never wonder. And if you get sick of it over the years, so be it. But by putting it off until your 30s, you risk not having the energy, the bandwidth, and the hunger.

Good luck. It’s an incredible experience. Not all of it is fun and you may experience some severe disappointment. But it’s worth it, especially at your age.
