Carly Pearce is very close with her band. They are like family to her. That’s why she always wants to make sure they spend some time together on the road, particularly before they hit the stage.

The country music star and the members of her band may do things and see each other during the day. However, Carly says every night on tour before they perform, “My band and I try to come together like 10 minutes before, and just hang a little bit and maybe listen to music, maybe do a shot, maybe have a little wine, maybe do none of the above. But we just like to all be together kind of right before we go out.”

The ritual sounds like a nice way for everybody to get on the same vibe and have a moment together before their show starts. These days, those before-show hangs with Carly and her band are happening on the What A Song Can Do Tour with Lady A.
