It's Almost Here! Japan with The Rock N Roll Hi-Fives!


Going On Tour

It's easy to get discouraged here sometimes. I'm grateful for every, single moment that anyone ever chooses to spend here; and, if I really stop and think, I do love going to shows and taking pictures and all that. That's why I do this. But, sometimes, when my feet are killing me in Austin or when I'm at another show alone away from the CoolFamily or when I spend hours putting together a post that only a few people ever see, I find myself asking, "Why?"

But... but... I have made some of my very best and dearest friends through this website. Through my work here, I can honestly say, I've become friends with some of the people making and putting out my favorite music right now. I never imagined that just throwing my thoughts up on the Internet would result in some of the most fulfilling friendships I've had in my whole life.

I never imagined that my little vanity project would introduce me to people like Joe, Gloree, Eilee, and Evren Centeno. They are The Rock N Roll Hi-Fives, the world's rockingest and most inspiring family band. They've become great friends of the CoolFamily, and they've been there for me through some of my happiest as well as some of my most trying times.





When they told me that they were going on tour to Japan, I thought it was amazing. They mentioned wanting someone to document their travels, and I half-jokingly said, "Hey. I'm home all the time. I could probably do it." Well, they ran with the idea and -- amazingly -- invited me to join them on their very special family trip to Japan. We leave on Wednesday, and I guarantee you that we and Japan will never be the same.


Make sure you follow @rnrhifives and @cooldadmusic on Instagram to keep up with all of our adventures in real time. I'm sure the band will be doing several Facebook Live sessions. And, if you know anyone in Japan, tell them to come out for a show.

The good folks at Custard Core in Japan booked the whole tour. Here's the schedule:


I, honestly, can't believe this is even happening!
