Fuse's Surfer Blood Tour Journals, Pt. 1: Atlanta, D.C., New York City
Surfer Blood are enduring a time in their career filled with professional highs and emotional challenges. Between celebrating their new album's release, departing from Warner Bros., and supporting their bandmate during a time of healing, there is nary a dull moment in JP's camp. Stay with Fuse for an intimate look into the life and times of John Paul Pitts of Surfer Blood.
Hello, John Paul Pitts of Surfer Blood here. We’ve been super busy, and it’s been a blur so far, but we’re all in good spirits for the most part. This is the longest run we’ve done without our guitarist Thomas, a founding member and a dear friend who unfortunately, was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the year and has been undergoing various treatments since. We miss him every day, his onstage antics, his sense of humor and his in-the-van DJ sets, but we have faith that he’ll be able to pull through all of this with the help of his wife, mom, our friends, and the fans that have been so supportive through all of this. Thankfully, our friend Mikey McLeary has stepped in and worked his butt off to learn all our songs.
