amanda brown, “on the road again”

I’ve been traveling around the world as a touring musician for most of my adult life. In recent years, I’ve compiled an eclectic list of songs that I occasionally turn to. Whether I’m on a plane, getting ready for a show, or simply hanging in my hotel room, these songs have become my go-to touring tunes. There’s no complex reason behind the song selection other than these specific songs make me feel good. Touring can sometimes be tough on the body and mind. When I’m homesick or feeling tired, good vibes are essential to surviving life on the road.
