Have you ever loved a band so much that you wanted to follow them across the country? Has the thought of spending an entire summer going to music festivals ever crossed your mind? Are you always seeking out live music when you travel to a new city?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re just like us. We’ve both been around music our entire lives, whether playing it ourselves or following around the bands we love. In addition to being in the crowd, we’ve also worked at dozens of shows and festivals throughout the years. As a matter of fact, we met at the first-ever Rothbury festival in 2008 where we were both working for the same company.
We dated by going on summer tour the next year when we hit four festivals and thirteen Phish shows all across the US. Speaking of Phish, we even went ahead and got engaged at their New Year’s Eve concert in 2014. Yeah, we like live music just a little.
Music and travel are our two biggest passions in life, and we love nothing more than combining them, whether it be raging on the beach at Holidaze or jetting off to Tokyo just to catch a show. Through this section of the site, you can read about our experiences going to thousands of concerts and music festivals.
So quit your job, cancel your haircut, and grab your malnourished dog – it’s time to go on tour!
Most people would say that 2016 was a pretty awful year. We lost David Bowie and Prince and gained a childish orangutan as President. Speaking of primates – we’ll never forget you, Harambe! Flint had poisoned water, Brexit happened, and that was just the bread on this shit sandwich of a year. …
This summer we embarked on a “Month of Music,” traversing the country seeing some of our favorite bands in a handful of the best venues out there. After catching Phish at Wrigley Field and Deer Creek, Umphrey’s at Red Rocks, and Widespread Panic in Vegas, we headed up to the …
Live music is kind of a big deal for us. We met at a music festival, started dating on summer tour, got engaged at Phish New Year’s Eve, and went to the GD50 shows for our honeymoon. Since we moved to China back in 2010, we’ve only been able to …
After over five years of living in Asia, we decided to head home earlier than usual this summer and do what we do best – tramp around the country following our favorite bands. Bali is great and all, but we got a bit sick of listening to reggae cover bands …
It’s hard to believe, but our time in Bali has come to an end (at least for now). After an amazing nine months of living on the Island of the Gods, we’ve decided to head home for the summer to hit a bunch of shows and festivals, as well as a …
Last month, we were fortunate enough to volunteer at Bali Spirit Festival – one of the premiere events on the island that attracts thousands of people every year. A celebration of yoga, dance, and music, the festival lasts for five days and features a wide variety of performances, classes, workshops, …
It’s hard to believe, but another year has just about passed us by. Although it wasn’t such a big year in terms of travel, 2015 was pretty epic for us. We got married, saw tons of amazing shows, and even moved to Bali. As we get ready to ring in 2016 …
They say time flies when you’re having fun; it also flies when you’re incredibly busy. We’ve been busting our asses the last few months here in Kunming, taking on extra teaching jobs, editing videos, working on the website, and planning our big summer back in the good ole’ US of …
We’re excited to announce that our GITV Travel Blog will be undergoing some changes and taking on a whole new style. For the most part, it’s been a running account of our long, strange trip across the Banana Pancake Trail in SE Asia. Due to the sheer number of places …
