road story

Heart Support went out with August Burns Red this past month to tour countries in Europe! We met a ton of great kids and ABR fans and had amazing conversations. We’re so thankful that because of donors we were able to make it over here! Special thanks to Brian.. Here is a little recap of [...]

I will go ahead and say that Bratislava was the hottest show of the tour! We played with a band called “I Killed the Prom Queen” which was refreshing because they aren’t a European metal band that is covered in black, singing of darkness, death or satan. It was more of hardcore metal like Parkway [...]

We played in Amsterdam, however the beginning of my day wasn’t off to a good start. I woke up at 8 a.m. to jump in the shower, to then jump into an hour long van drive, to then jump on a plane, finally get back to where our tour bus was. In beautiful Amsterdam…I love [...]

    We woke up at 6:30 in the am to leave the tour bus in Amsterdam and jump on a plane to head over to Norway! Norway, by the way, is one of my favorite places to visit over here in Europe! I love the scenery, the people are so nice, and this festival [...]

  We played main support for a band called Devil Driver the other night. We’ve been running into these guys on festivals for the past three weeks. It also turns out that an old friend is tour managing them now. My friend’s name is, well, they call him Bubble. I’ve known him for a few [...]

  Yesterday we played a festival called Gods of Metal! We played the earliest we’ve played on a festival yet, 12 in the afternoon. I usually wake up around 12 over here! Hah, so it was an early rise for me to say the least. The festival grounds were pretty massive considering there was only one [...]

Today we played early in the afternoon, which I enjoy because it’s sunny out, people are up and awake, and not intoxicated yet. Festivals are great, but after about 3 in the afternoon it seems like people get pretty drunk and things start to get into party mode. We played in front of about 13,000 [...]

  Heart Support! We’ve been spending much of our time in France recently. It’s typical of ABR to have shows in Paris but we’ve been broadening our horizons by playing shows in small cities throughout other parts of the country. We spent the last 2 days in a town called Clermont Ferrand in central France. [...]

HellFest!!!! Welcome to Hell!!! AHHHHHHH scary!!! DARKNESS!!! FLAMES!!! FIRE!!! DEATH!!! SATAN!!! GRRRR!!! You know what? It was fun! The place was pretty well kept, tons of security, and I actually almost ran right into Slash. (I wasn’t watching where I was walking.) There were tons of bars inside the artist area, free drink tickets, lots [...]

This festival was one heck of a struggle. I woke up and it was raining; it had been raining throughout the night and unfortunately didn’t stop. The festival was a complete mud pit…     The kids were drenched in mud, some of them covered from head to toe. The green rooms were alright but [...]
