Ryan Pollie Tour Diary

We sent our friend Ryan Pollie a disposable film camera to provide a behind-the-scenes look into his recent West Coast tour with Steven Van Betten. The photos below tell a story of friendship, miles in the car, meals on the road, and intimate performances of songs from Pollie’s latest and most profound work, his self-titled record out now via Anti Records. Pollie also provided a Spotify playlist to accompany his photographic tour diary.
