Based broadly on the subject of eating on tour, these entries each spin off into their own focused and exciting behind-the-scenes story, but all confirm what Pyenson and Bleeker suspected all along--food looms large in the lives of touring musicians, and it can be used as a gateway into understanding what going on tour is really like. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Featured contributors include: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Robin Pecknold (Fleet Foxes) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chris Frantz (Talking Heads) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Natalie Mering (Weyes Blood) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mark Ibold (Pavement) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e John Gourley (Portugal.

Stories that deal with the best parts of touring: meaningful cultural exchange, hospitality-induced euphoria, and the opportunity to build relationships around the world. And the worst: loneliness, exhaustion, estrangement from family and friends, struggles with disordered eating, and unsteady access to medical care. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e So the question isn't, \"How was tour?\" It's, \"What do you eat on tour?\" Like the best songs or meals, these conversations and essays evoke something central about the human experience.
