Let's Go
Throughout August and September, Jake Miller will be hitting the road for his 8 Tattoos tour.
Get Inked
During the tour, fans have been getting new tattoos to commemorate the show. "Watching you guys get my handwritten lyrics tattooed on this tour has been one of the coolest experiences throughout my entire career," Jake wrote on Instagram. "People always show me their lyric tats but it hits so much different when I'm sitting right next to you and watching it happen."
Family Rules
While attending one of Jake's shows, you may just spot his family showing their support. "It's our shortest tour in a long time, so I know it's gonna be done before I blink," Jake said. "I'm kind of upset about it, but I gotta soak it all in."
Fashion Matters
Don't underestimate Jake's eye for fashion. "I am my own stylist. I'm definitely into fashion," he said. "I want to look good when I'm out in public and on stage." The 29-year-old said he loves shopping at Zara and is feeling one certain style of clothing at the moment. "I'm really into these collared shirts that are T-shirts that have like a little zipper," he said. "I feel like I just bought 10 of them and they're all I'm wearing right now."
Hop on Board
With 10 guys on one tour bus, Jake said it's hard to keep things spotless. "Personal space is not a thing when you're on tour," he joked. "Showers some nights are not a thing. Laundry some nights are not a thing. You just do whatever is natural and whatever you can in the moment."
Showtime
"Normally, 30 minutes before the show starts, we are on the tour bus, which is parked right outside," Jake said. "We have Drake playing loud in the bus. We have our Walmart dumbbells that we're cranking. Maybe a shot of Jameson."
Making Memories
"One of my favorite parts of tour, actually, are on the off days where we'll all go out to a big dinner," Jake said. "Sometimes it's a hibachi dinner or Buffalo Wild Wings." Or maybe, it's a night at the local bowling alley.
Living the Dream
When asked to share his best piece of advice to dreamers, Jake thought everyone should "stay true" to themselves. "Do what you want to do and don't really listen to anybody else," he said. "I followed my gut and I listened to myself, and it was the right move at the time. If you have a dream like that, even if everyone's looking at you like you have two heads, just go for it."
