What's happening? Welcome to Wong Notes podcast. I'm your host, Corey Wong. I'm feeling good today. I'm feeling great. Why? Because I am in Nashville, Tennessee, starting rehearsals for my upcoming tour, which I'm very stoked about. Got the full band. I got two buses. I got a crew, a band, production we're bringing on.

This is my biggest tour yet.

I feel really good about it.

I'm pretty stoked.

Just got here ready to hit these rehearsals.

Got like 50 new tunes we're doing this year that we're pulling from.

So I've been shedding, listening a lot.

I actually, I spent a lot of time preparing for tours as a guitar

player and bandleader because I care. That's why, because I care. And you should too, if you're

going out and doing gigs, you should prepare. Anyways, people ask me all the time, how do I support

my favorite artists? What's the best way? The best way, buy tickets, come out to the shows,

buy merch. That's like the way.

Obviously, listen to us on all the platforms and whatnot, but go see your favorite bands on tour.

Buy tickets.

It's kind of how we survive now.

Anyways, I'm going out to the West Coast starting this coming week, and then at the top of next next year I'm doing Midwest and East Coast.

Very excited for him.

Also, you want to talk about live gigs?

I just saw one of the most insane live gigs ever this last week.

I was at Hollywood Bowl and I saw it was some sort of fundraising event thing.

Opening band was Tate McCray, which modern pop artist, very cool, great singer.

Very cool speaking voice, by the way, and a great dancer.
