The Tour De Compadres was a lot more chill and laid back than most tours. That led to some insane crowd interaction, when both NEEDTOBREATHE and Switchfoot’s lead singers spent considerable time out in the audience! Jon Foreman and Bear Rinehart were all over the place- entertaining a semi-laid back Nashville crowd. The brand new Ascend Ampitheatre was a perfect vibe for this tour, with its river side location. Two of Nashville’s iconic bridges are visible from the venue and lit up in the Music City skyline.
