About Me

Hello!
My name is Jane and I'm traveling with my 4 bandmates: my fiance Ian (Guitar), Fiona (Drums), Camden (Bass), and Asher (Guitar). We're also traveling with our photographer Mego. We're in an indie rock band called 'Twen' ( www.twenband.com ) and we've been touring the US (with 2 tours of Europe) for 7 years now while based out of Nashville, TN.

Ian and I live in our converted Ram Promaster Van (the van we tour in) that we built together during the pandemic. It's fully outfitted (bed, solar, electric, toilet, kitchen) so Ian and I sleep in the van on tour, while our bandmates need a place to stay. We're all originally from different cities; St. Louis, Boston, Nashville, Louisville and Orlando.

We self-released a record called 'One Stop Shop' in 2022 and have been releasing singles since. We just came off a two-month headline tour of the States in June and August and are about to head to the UK & Europe in October 2024.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From touring for 7 years, we've stayed on a lot of couches and in many spare bedrooms! We've also met so many wonderful people and have experienced cities in a way we could never have if we were just staying in a hotel. We've been recommended by other bands to Couchsurfing and would love to stay with people who are expecting us and that can hopefully benefit from our stay as well!

Music, Movies, and Books

60s-90s rock, only the good songs from Sugar Ray & Smashmouth.... Bjork, Portishead, Oasis, The Verve,
The Prodigy, Cocteau Twins, Primal Scream, Mercyful Fate, Supertramp, and all things Beatles

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We've played at Skydive New England for one of their parties they throw for the instructors. In exchange, we all got to skydive as a band! It was probably the best form of payment we've ever received! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

We are very chill, low maintenance, and funny; and guarantee we won't overstep in your space. We are very thankful to you because you help us do what we love the most, which is touring! We won't have lots of time on the day we arrive because we'll have to be at the venue for soundcheck etc., but you can always get into our shows for free, maybe we can even swipe you some drink tickets!

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom
