Only go on one if you have a show that people want to see.
Touring is too expensive and exhausting to go out there with anything else.
And songs people want to hear isn’t the same thing as a show people want to see.
A show people want to see requires different skills and focus than making songs people want to hear. It’s a different exercise, different muscles, different plan.
If you’re going to take the show on the road, start with the show, then hit the road.
***But if you haven’t played two hundred shows yet, take whatever show you have and get on the road. After two hundred, come back to this post.
