Hello everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to let you all know how the tour is going so far. The shows and crowds have been amazing. Great turnouts, great feedback and very positive reviews. The most important thing (in my opinion) is that everyone is having fun and that people are encouraged and I can tell you this - everyone on this tour is. I'm blessed to have a wonderful family (Kyle, Mikey and Ellena) who supports my involvement here and they have been so encouraging. I've seen a lot of healing taking place within many peoples lives and It's a gift to me to be a part of this. We're all having such a great time on stage every night and we feed off of each others energy and joy. It's really a unique experience and a special time. If you haven't seen a show yet, try to catch one - it's a great time!

It's also very touching for me to be able to look over and see Tom enjoying himself and to see him smile throughout - it's incredible!

And to be able to honor Brad every night with the song "To Be A Man" is overwhelming at times. I never had the opportunity to personally meet Brad but from everything that I have heard, he exemplified every word within this song.

I'm blessed to be here and I'm blessed to know each and every person in this group.
I look forward to meeting all of you out on the road and to those of you who I have already met, thank you for your kind words and it was a true pleasure meeting you.

Stay well and I'll keep a look out for the rest of you,

Michael
