Hi friend,
The Tour Bloom is a space for touring artists and *artist guardians… my affectionate term for the partners and nurturers of artists.
This is a space for you to feel seen and understood. The life of an artist defies all the assumptions that the fans have (right?) and partnering with an artist is awash with hidden challenges, even loneliness.
Both worlds have unique lows that outsiders don’t understand…
problem-solving alone (oh hi, washer leak)
re-furbishing leftovers to make a dinner the kids will eat,
turning an understanding ear when they need to vent about the tour routing,
going on stage with a broken heart, producing magic from emptiness.
But also wonderful highs…
creating art with your best friends,
traveling + meeting your global family,
that lump in your throat watching the person you love on stage hold a crowd in their hands,
the airport greeting when they run and jump in your arms.
It’s not easy but it’s a calling we choose.
In this with you,
Xx Sarah
