An important part of the touring musician’s job description is ‘walking into new places’. We do that a lot. Way more than most people.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve asked where the bathroom is, where’s the stage, is it always this cold in here, what good restaurants are within walking distance, what’s that smell.
There’s a certain rhythm that unfolds when showing up to a new place which becomes oddly familiar. If you can be ok with that, you’ve got a chance at survival.
