The Outsiders Live!

Posted by Joe Stillwell
September 25, 2009

We’re a little over a week into The Outsiders Live tour, and I’ve been absolutely blown away every night!  It’s incredible to see so many new fans coming out to shows!  The trend so far has been at least doubling the attendance of our previous shows in these cities.  We were in Knoxville last night, and the show sold out before doors even opened!  We’ve been saying for a while that this is the period of our career that’s really going to be fun.  The places we’ve been putting so much time and effort into since we first started almost ten years ago are turning into sold out shows.  It’s been great having the guys from GRO out with us again.  I remember the first shows we did with them in Texas a few years ago, and it’s cool to see how well they’re doing.  It’s always a bonus to tour with people that you really mesh with.  Serena Ryder’s been killing it every night!  She’s such an amazing performer!  I can’t wait for y’all to see her.  We’re in Carrboro, NC tonight at Cat’s Cradle, and then it’s the big hometown show at the Music Farm in Charleston!  We’re pumped to have our pals from Charleston, Crowfield, on these next couple shows.  Y’all are definitely in for a treat.  Time to load-in now.  Gotta go lend my substantial physical prowess to the effort.  We’ll see y’all soon!

    Yall were SOOOO amazing at Music Farm last night! I'm so thankful to have had the chance to be in the presence of people who use their incredible God-given talents to bring Him glory. You guys were born to "make a joyful noise"!

    Saw you in Danbury, Boston and NYC!!! I was at the sound check party in Boston. I was dissapointed you guys couldn't come out after the show in NYC, but you took a picture with my kids when my son yelled passed the bouncer to ask you for a picture during clean up. Thank you so much for that, it meant a lot to them. Wish I was in Charleston tonight, but maybe some other time as our family may be relocating to that area.
    Blessings to you and the band!

    Hi Joe! Oh how the concert in Burlington lifted my slightly sagging spirit! You know, after the show I just couldn't bring myself to leave because I didn't want it to be over, and i'm so glad my friend stayed for a bit to 'mill about' with me because we got to talk with you!
    The look on your face when you walked into the room was precious...and I don't know where you were heading, but thank you so much for taking a few minutes to answer my questions and share with me about being a Christian... about being who God made you to be... about making music for us all. That is the kind of witness I can relate to in this season of my life. Your kindness made a difference to this one human being and I thought you should know. Thank you.
    And thanks Needtobreathe, and GRO and Serena for making great music. Please come back to Vermont SOON!
    be well-
    susie
