Bands on the Run – Louisiana musicians share their experiences on the road

For many a dreamer, the thought of life on the road as a musician conjures romantic images of strumming a guitar while gazing out the window of a rambling tour bus or of endless nights of after-parties. For the Louisiana-bred bands and musicians featured here, life on the road is just another aspect of the job—lugging sound equipment from one venue to the next, driving, sleeping on couches (or even at the venue itself) and more driving while trying to reach a wider audience outside the comfort of home. They’ve traveled the East and West coasts and even toured internationally. So we asked these South Louisiana musicians to share their adventures through photos and their own words.
