Vance Joy Tour Diary Part Two

Vance Joy goes bladin' and gets his kicks in North America.

Taking a rollerblade in Columbus, Ohio. Drummer Ed picked them up at a Pawn shop in Austin, Texas. They are rad, great fun.

Jaymes Young is the support on this tour - he is a legend and funny man and his band are great guys.

These are my new boots, Blundstones. So durable and comfy.

Here is me saying "Sayonara" - Japanese for goodbye xxxxxxx

Here is Edwin drinking from his personalised cup - he is very happy with this cup and it has served him well while drumming and not drumming on tour.

Here is all of us pre-show getting the energy flowing.

The show in Montreal was a big room filled with joyous enthusiastic people.

JD is my front of house man and tour manager. He is wearing glasses here and generally being the big boss.
