The Maine: Free For All Tour

This blog post was guest-written by The Maine Drummer, Pat Kirch
The Free For All Tour is something that we have been working on for the past 5 years. We have always wanted to find a way to show our fans what their support means to us and I think this tour is just that. We have been a band for over 8 years and have played more shows than I can count. Every night, people come out and support what we do. This tour is just a small part in showing how much that means to us. It is something that I have not seen other bands do and I hope that it is going to create a special environment at the shows. It is a celebration of music and the people that support music. I am very excited to meet new people on the tour as well, people that have been on the fence about coming to a show or people that maybe couldn’t afford a ticket in the past. This is a chance for anyone that wants to come see us play.
We never want to do the same thing over and over again, so when planning for our next tour, every idea we had felt like it was something we had seen before. That’s when we finally decided it was the right time to pull out the “free tour” idea. It is an exciting time for our band because without ticket sales, it is hard to anticipate how the tour is going to go. We really have no idea how it is all going to come together, but just the thought of being able to finally see this idea come to fruition is exciting.
All that being said, it’s time for me to get back to work. We have a lot of songs to learn! See you all on the free tour, and please spread the word.
Love,
Pat
