Michael Ray Shares How He Spends His Downtime on Tour

Michael Ray Shares How He Spends His Downtime on Tour

Michael Ray’s current single at country radio is “Holy Water.”

Michael is out playing fairs, festivals and all kinds of shows this summer, including another appearance next week on the Grand Ole Opry, before he heads back out on Lee Brice’s Label Me Proud tour.

Sometimes a tour schedule can be filled with a lot of “hurry up and wait” before an artist hits the stage – so Michael shares how he fills his downtime on tour, “We have downtown on a lot of days more than others so I’d like to go…kind of view the town, I’m very, very fortunate to have a crew that we’re super tight so there’s not a lot of time where there’s not laughs or pranks or something pulled on each other. Then I’ve also learned that throughout touring what helps me keep kind of my mental state good is…just going to the gum for about an hour, hour and a 1/2 or so and just kind of get that time away to listen to demos just kind of clear my head.”
