Jill Marie Cooper - TOUR TIPS
In this Tour Tips segment, the pop/R&B artist, Jill Marie Cooper, shares her advice for life on the road. You can check out her tips below:

My first tour tip would be to always bring a neck pillow for traveling. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve forgotten to bring this (despite the fact that I own two). The more sleep you can get while being on the road, the better. Keep in mind that you’ll probably feel more tired being away from home, so your body will thank you for getting in those cheeky extra winks whenever and wherever you can!

My second tip—and I can’t stress this enough—is hydration, hydration, hydration! This doesn’t mean you can’t get your caffeine fix, but because of the amount of time you’re spending on tour buses, in cars, random hotels, and venues, you’ll often be subjected to poor heating, or worse still, no heating, air-conditioning, and environmental factors out of your control. Especially when moving through different temperatures city to city, you have to be extra diligent about keeping hydrated. For every coffee or caffeinated drink, have at least one glass of water. Also, take your vitamins—your body needs to be taken care of!

My third tip would be to keep your spiritual life and nervous system regulated. For me, this means spending time with God every morning and praying every day. Whether it’s praying, taking a few minutes to breathe deeply and practice mindfulness, or simply affirming yourself daily, it’s important in the chaotic nature of touring to take this time for you. You’re a human being—not a robot—after all!

I would also say to keep in contact with loved ones and not forget to stay connected while on tour. From experience, when I’ve failed to do this, I inevitably have a little meltdown. The stress of being away from home for any extended amount of time means you need the sense of normality that speaking with people who know you well brings!

Ornate - DREAM TOUR
In this Dream Tour segment, the pop artist, Ornate, reveals who he would want on his ultimate tour lineup. You can check out his picks below:

Touring as a musician is a big goal of mine, small or large. I've seen dozens of tours in my time—those of friends, colleagues, and favorite artists. Living in Nashville, I'm blessed to live centrally where many touring artists frequent, from arena pop tours to legacy and rock artists. Every week here, there are shows happening in every genre.

With a tour, the best openers complement the title performer, and the most successful group tours keep a unity in sound and style. The music I write often blends genres, but I feel my ideal tour lineup would be alongside some of my most respected, personal favorite artists.

Bruno Major, Humble the Great, and Gabriel Garzón-Montano are three of my favorite artists in the soul, indie, and R&B spaces. Bruno is a master songwriter and jazz guitarist who writes broad and universal truths. Humble’s music is honest and always greets the heartstrings with a gentle handhold. Gabriel’s production and multi-instrumentalist skills sonically eject you from a chair to one of their dreamscapes. I’d be honored to work alongside any one of them separately or as a unit.

The power in these storytellers is the cornerstone of truth in their writing. I've always heard that the best songs can be played with a single instrument and charm a room, without a huge production, luxury studio, flashy visual, or costume. I credit myself as a songwriter and a singer primarily, and I keep this in mind when I write, because for me, to write is to share—to make art as therapy, to heal the self, and to expand your views on the subject or source. These artists have inspired me endlessly, so that’s the dream tour.

This track I wrote with my friend Jack is healing in 100 ways. I wrote it about my teenage years, about my East Tennessee extended family disowning a q***r kid for just being who he was meant to. Write your truth, and sing it louder. Lots of love,
