Meg & Dia

1. I learned that being a  “performer” and being a “musician” on stage are equally as important. For the entirety of “Meg and Dia” I believed that having my bangs cover half my face in a dramatic swoop and an incoherent mumble in between songs fulfilled my requirement as an entertainer. Only during the second half of the Blake tour, by watching and learning from both Dia and Blake, did I realize that the crowd deserves to have the entertainers on stage be appreciative and show their respect by smiling and moving with the music. 

2. I learned to not sweat the small stuff that happens on stage. People aren’t analyzing the show in detail as much as the band and I are. When two cowgirls are sitting in the third row, sipping on beers and laughing hysterically to each other, they are not making fun of me for missing the A minor in the 2nd verse, they are remembering the “stuck up” mechanical engineer who spilled Miller Light all over himself while hitting on them at the bar last night.
