When some artists are on tour, the most they see in any given town is their bus and the venue, but Jess Carson of Midland says, “I like to explore. I’m a little explorer. I like to feel like I’ve seen even just a small bit of the place that I’m going to.”
One way Jess finds places to go is by seeking out local coffee shops because he says, “Usually they’re in an area that has like some vintage shops and stuff like that, and you know, guitar shops, just talking to people being like, ‘Hey is there a cool restaurant around here, a cool bar …’ experiencing the place, the locale.”
Midland has extended their Electric Rodeo Tour this year, so Jess will have plenty of opportunities to explore different cities around the country this spring and summer.
