🚐 6 Hours on the Road! Blakgraz Drives from Kentucky to West Virginia for the Weekend Shows

It’s a long drive day for Blakgraz — we’re making the 6-hour trek from Kentucky to West Virginia to kick off a weekend packed with shows, prep, and everything in between.

When you’re an indie artist doing it all yourself, planning ahead is the only way to survive. From loading up gear, mapping out the route, grabbing snacks (of course), and making sure nothing gets left behind — it's all part of the hustle.

🎸 While on the road, Tom from Blakgraz takes a moment to share thoughts about the trip, touring life, and what it takes to keep things running — all while restringing one of his guitars. Because when you're a one-man and one-woman road crew (plus a cat), every moment counts!

🎶 Come along for the ride as we roll through the miles, prep for the weekend, and get ready to bring the music to a new crowd.

📍 Destination: West Virginia
🎶 Mission: Music, connection, and making it all happen
