Purpose In The Youth

For our second Groupisode we brought in three recording artists, Abstract (Ep 96), Dylan Reese (Ep 26 + Gp 1) and Ryan Oakes (Ep 61) who’re touring nationwide on their triple co-headliner tour, Virtual Reality which stops in 22 cities. Abstract who grew up in Jackson, WI , Dylan Reese from Chicopee, MA… 413 stand UP and Ryan Oakes from Northern Virginia all met over the internet and were able to come together and cross off their lifelong dream of touring the nation. With no booking agent, label or funding they looked to their inner circle to help put this together. Matt Keene handled booking and logistics of shows, Ryan Pod came on as their tour manager, Big Drip handled the merch, DJ Kode Break got the house rocking and Kyle Downes was in charge of photo & video. In this episode they discuss how they first got inspired to start making music, what has changed the most about them along their career, what the first 16 shows of the tour were like, hardest lesson they’ve learned in the music industry thus far
