Thanks to everyone that has come out to see our shows on the Rattlesnake Tour. If you’ve been to one of our shows recently, you might recognize this song from our encore. It’s one of Simon’s favourites so when we were thinking about a cover to add to the set, it made perfect sense. Soup was written to be on Blind Melon’s album of the same name, but ended up being released later. We love playing it so much that we went to the studio on the way to the airport one day to record this acoustic version. Have a look at the full version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AC7yXqDlVk

Before I head out on tour, I try to stock up supplies for my family and took everyone’s eco friendly advice and filled glass jars instead of using plastic bags from @bulkbarnfoods #lindsayontario. Keep sending me more ideas to reduce plastic use! DJ

My family and I have enjoyed lots of canoeing this summer when I’m home from tour! Tell us some new lakes and rivers that we can enjoy throughout the rest of the year. Thanks in advance! DJ @ City of Kawartha Lakes

Sacramento! We had so much fun at the Ace of Spades we had to come back. Tickets are on sale now! See you soon! http://CityOfTrees.com

Calgary, you’ve been there from the beginning. Thanks for coming out to see us tonight!

As a gentleman who openly struggles with depression and anxiety (and being too muscular) sometimes I need to make a list of all the little things that make life awesome. And frankly, I could use some more suggestions. Please add on to the list! 1. That feeling of getting into freshly made sheets on the bed. 2. When your stomach tickles in the car when you hit a steep hill. 3. That first taste of morning coffee. 🤤 4. When you get dressed and your clothes are still a little warm from the dryer. 5. Dreaming. 6. That cold shock of jumping into a fresh water lake. 7. The sound of a cat purring 8. A hot shower. 9. Eating popcorn and soda at the movie theatre. 10. Waking up to realize you still have 2 more hours to sleep. 11. Popping a zit. (Too far?) 12. The feeling of fresh sand in between your toes. 13. A peanut butter and banana sandwich. 14. Cozying up and watching a movie on a rainy day. (Preferably a Jean Claude Van Damme movie when he has his sweet mullet) 15. Hearing a new song for the first time and getting all the feels.

We’re here in Edmonton to play K-Days ! But first, a stop by SONiC 102.9 for a little acoustic session. Always good to see some friends have been here. 🤘

One of my favourite things to do on tour is check out local coffee shops. Actually, it’s one of my favourite things to do while I’m home too. This is one of my favourites in Toronto the Flying Pony. It has great caramelized onion croissants and they play a lot of Bahamas. Any recommendations that I should check out in Edmonton or Calgary when we’re there next weekend??

It’s summertime and sometimes that means showing off your muscles like Jon in a tank top! Slide over to our online merch store and have a look at the tanks and t-shirts from the US Rattlesnake Tour. 💪💪https://shop.kt8merch.com/collections/the-strumbellas-global

Throwback to a few weeks ago when we played I’ll Wait on Canada Day. Ottawa, you sure know how to celebrate birthdays!! 🎉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGYhJUEy-TM #throwbackthursday

Inspired by my good friend and band mate, Darryl, Theo ‘the shark’ Ward and I decided to go plastic-less at the grocery store today. I mean, did it take 26 minutes to unload the groceries at home? Maybe....

Going into the weekend like....📸@philamonjaro #tasteofchicago

Happy National Snake Day! Simon gets fidgety in the studio. When he was recording vocals for Running Scared, he drew what would become the album cover on the back of the lyric sheet. Tattoo artist, Corrie Worden, detailed the snake and then Liz Hirsch brought the final snake to life by adding amazing colours! So what’s your take on snakes? Do you love them or run from them? #nationalsnakeday

The mountains are calling! We’re back in Denver on Sept 28 with Galactic and our friends at KBCO. Show info is up at https://bit.ly/2NUN0xW

Hey Everyone - Darryl here - I’ve been really working at reducing my plastic use while touring, and this water bottle has been traveling by my side for over 2 years now! I started with just using it at airports/hotels, but now I use it on stage and try really hard to not use ANY plastic water bottles. I wanted to ask all our fans out there - Do you have any other suggestions/advice to be more environmentally friendly while touring? !! Thanks in advance!!
