The "2014 Polar Vortex Tour": Get Bundled!
In case you haven't heard, a polar vortex moved in last week and temperatures around the globe have dropped to EXTREME and unprecedented lows. I am feeling just adventuresome enough to hop in a car, along with a talented songwriter named Aaron Lee Tasjan, and drive around ULTRA-cold Midwestern and Southern states to play my songs. Hence, I present to you the aptly named: 2014 POLAR VORTEX TOUR. Come warm us up with your presence and we will sing real pretty in return!
