It's Easy Being Green

What began as a beautiful summer day quickly turned to dark and gloomy skies by the early afternoon of our kick off concert and Planting Party on Saturday August 22^nd. As Ryan and I drove through downpours of torrential rain, our “no gas” light glowing on the dash, and occasional bursts of hail on our windshield; my phone started blowing up with emails from fans who where waiting in the rain to plant trees and kick off this green tour.

As we pulled into town, with a prius filled with mums and evergreens, the sky cleared up. The town park was filled with Trouble Makers, friends, and families from the community who wanted to make their neighborhood a more beautiful place.  I wasn’t expecting to feelas grounded and energized as I did. Being in touch with people and doing real simple things to give back really carried over to the show that night, where I had more energy than I can remember. The trees and mums weren’t the only thing being planted that day. A seed to have planting parties before each and every show has been set into the ground.
