We had a late show last week then another yesterday and I told my bandmates to really rest up in between. We were backlining so we showed up early to the gig to not stress load in, we didn't drink, I had a London fog instead of espresso. I think all that really helped us play well. How you feel is so important for a good performance

This made me laugh- "It’s infuriating that moving your body helps you feel better. I don’t make the rules."

Thanks, Cassidy- great post and a good reminder to take care of the basics.

Thank, Jess 😅 I’m always so mad when I feel like shit and going outside helps me feel immediately better

i respect your entire message here, but instead of diving deeper, am feeling compelled to say just: your piano space is absolutely gorgeous <3

The reminder to eat. Sometimes when I really get into a project I forget! And that’s okay temporarily but a bad habit.
