Joel Cummins talks about UM’s first tour
UM’s blog, The Floor:
In the summer of 1999, we embarked on our 1st tour. We’d seen our local heroes, Ali Baba’s Tahini (featuring some guitar phenom named Jake Cinninger, you might have heard of him), pull off a successful month long jaunt on the East coast the previous summer. So we thought, why not. You can only play the South Bend, IN – St. Joseph, MI circuit so many weekends in a row. We had somehow convinced Kevin Browning and family that we would be excellent stewards of his big, green suburban for this tour we had concocted.
