Tour Diary Part 7
🕑 Added 2025-02-15 16:29:21 +0000 UTCGreetings from balmy Birmingham, AL! We're back at the world famous Saturn Club where the green room always takes the cake.
Feeling good today, finally but yesterday my heath felt like it took a step backwards. Was coughing all morning and had the chills... was so damn tired I couldn't do much but lie around and nod off... About an hour before showtime, I rallied and felt my energy perking up and by showtime I was ready to go... It was a lovely show and someone proposed to their girlfriend on the stage. Great crowd, nice people... it really was the key to me getting through the show.
We have the day off tomorrow and get to rest up for the final swing back home!
Sorry these diaries have been a little lackluster. With the cold and sickness, there just hasn't been much going on... Oh I guess this is something: Last night Connor's denim vest caught fire when he leaned into a candle in the green room. It was quickly doused but made for some excitement!
Tonight, I'm told Phil Braun has purchased time during my set for some reason? we are fighting it in court but not sure we can prevent it.
Monday we're in Atlanta and I can give you a sneak peek: the Great Puddles Pity Party will be joining us for a song....
and then St. Petersburg and Orlando before the final final push west.
Despite the cold and the sickness and the slog, the crappy dressing rooms, and the not exactly full rooms, I still love everyone on this bus more than ever. God Bless the VGB

I met Puddles in a Trader Joe’s a couple months back. Super nice dude.
Chadwick Witherspoon

buried the lede : “the great Puddles Pity Party will be joining us…”

Little disappointed in the lack of 'cuck chair' updates...

It's illegal for Phil to be handed a bottle of water tonight!

I admire your work ethic. The live OHL ep was a pleasant surprise, the tip of the iceberg of greater joy, a bulwark, that you and your artist friends bring to this corner of the world. I finally came up with a question for the next Tour related to your work-life balance and how the line seems blurred for your prolific polymath lifestyle (for musical heads: "Why do you write like you're running out of time" pops in my head from Hamilton's "Non-stop") It’s always a privilege to get a peek into that, but, for those of us that care, we do want ~you~ to take care of yourself. So please get some rest when you can in between all your hard work. On a more serious note: can someone record Phil’s takeover like the one at Two Tims? We can tell Phil it's not for any litigious reason 😉

It was an amazing show! You made my mom’s night. Thank you so much for your kindness and humor and hope you start feeling better 😁
Jordan Barr
Good luck in the courts. Heidecker V. Braun is not where we wanted to have to take a stand for democracy, but if we must then so we shall!

Tim we had a blast in Nashville. Had Father John Misty and Destroyer not been playing a sold-out show at the 2,300 capacity Ryman Auditorium last night, the Basement East would’ve been full. It was full with loyal fans last night and I’m glad the sickness may be starting to fade. Keep coming back to Nashville we love ya here!
Stephen Bain

Davis Haines

Joss Humberstone
Tough time of the year to tour for sure but seems like folk are really enjoying the shows! Good luck to you and the band for the home straight! ✌🏻

Oh and Tim please don’t forget to look for that missing b-side from High School listening session. Would love to see it on the Patreon soon! Thank you again! Please come back to Nashville soon ❤️👽🙏
Chase
Tim I had so much fun last night! Thank you guys for giving us a show! Catfish deserves a raise after his performance last night. He literally was playing like he was on fire!
KD

What ever song Puddles covers, wether from your catalog or not, it will be lovely and fill the room
