Tour

Why Joel can’t tour

Joel currently can't tour. Ankle monitor. State line restrictions. The whole deal. Not the “cool outlaw” version either — the boring kind where a missed check-in means cuffs, paperwork, and a ride back to the clink.

So he works. Night shifts. Oilfield money. Sends what he can to Tammy and the girls, keeps his head down, writes songs when he can’t sleep. That’s the only reason Midland Bound exists at all.

We need Boelievers

Not fans. Boelievers. The ones who’ll play the song in public and let the world hear it by accident: honky-tonks, house parties, tailgates, garage speakers, dive bars with neon older than you.

How it works

1. Put it on the speakers
   Ask the bartender, the DJ, the jukebox, the buddy with the AUX — wherever music gets played in your town.
2. Make it public
   A 10-second clip is enough: a bar, a backyard, a tailgate, a slow dance. Proof-of-play is the currency.
3. Say the words
   Don’t pitch it like a brand. Pitch it like a secret: “This song’s from a West Texas guy who can’t leave the state.”
4. Report back to Big Duke
   City + venue + date. Big Duke keeps the map, tallies the miles, and swears it’s ‘how legends get built.’
