Sam Evian Went to Stone Henge and the Royal Wedding While on Tour

 

By Sam Evian

 

Brooklyn musician Sam Evian is about to release his sophomore album, You, Forever in t-minus 7 hours. As a little appetizer to the record, Sam let us go through his camera roll to see all his adventures while on tour in the UK. Good thing there wasn't anything too scandalous on there...

"Here are some snaps from our little UK marathon run. We flew in for the Royal Wedding, and decided to play some shows since we were there. No one knows this, but Austin is actually a world renowned florist, and he got us all on the royal list. All in all, it was a real hoot. Marc Riley's BBC6 show was a highlight. Have you ever been to Tebay Services? It's a godsend. I was the only driver in the van, so that was pretty psychedelic."

Check out the diary below and listen to You, Forever out on Saddle Creek tomorrow.
