Live music and touring have been on lockdown and fans as well as artists are going through withdrawals. We wanted to come up with something fun to help bridge that distance between fans and artists right now. What we came up with is  something called The Lockdown Lowdown and it’s a Q&A session with fun questions for artists to answer. They’re not your typical interview questions, so it gives you a peek inside of the artists themselves. We’re big music nerds here at I’m Music Magazine and we love learning things like this about the artists that we love. We’re pretty sure that you’ll get a kick out of these, so we hope you’ll take the time to read them. In this installment, we sat down for a fun Q&A session with Jacob Cade of The BRKN.

4. Life on the road; 5 of the craziest/funniest/scariest tour stories

⁃ One time we ran over a drive shaft and popped 2 tires at 3am and had to be saved by a little town called Goodland, Kansas. This local towing company were the only people willing to help us and got the job done in less than 5 hours for us to get home! Amazing.

⁃ I remember on the first day of one of the tours Mike and I brought an air horn and used it to wake up Tristan (who was playing bass for us at the time,) it was probably 3 or 4am, and EVERYONE traveling with us got pissed.

⁃ We were playing a show in Atlanta I believe, and some kids walked up and wanted our signatures but there was nothing to sign! So naturally they pulled out some condoms they had gotten from a Sex Education booth and had us sign them.

⁃ I also remember I had one of my favorite flannel shirts taken from off the stage by a girl in the front row! She gave me a chain and necklace, so it was an even exchange I guess haha. Love it!
