We visited Amsterdam, Oslo, Glasgow and London on Tour. One of my favourite parts of it all was walking around each city and getting a feel for its character.

This Tennessee girl didn’t pack a heavy enough coat, so one of the first things we did in Amsterdam was go shopping. I found this amazing one at Aaiko and practically lived in it the rest of the trip.

I played this tour solo acoustic, so it was just me and my guitar Louise up there on stage. (Yes, that case is called Seafoam and its as heavy as it looks!)

The venues we played on this tour were gorgeous. This was at St. Lukeā€™s in Glasgow. Everyone on this tour listened to the music so intently, too. They really felt the music, and sang along to album cuts. It was something special.

Bush Hall. Wow. It was an honor to play two sold out shows here. And I got to switch things up for this one and play piano for a few songs. I love London and cannot wait to come back.
