Touring From Kent, Borrowed Gear on the Open Road is Ryan Brannon’s personal account of growing up in Kent’s music scene and taking original music across the country and overseas with The Party of Helicopters and Beaten Awake. Told through stories, photographs, flyers and other artifacts saved along the way, the book captures the DIY spirit of touring: borrowed gear, long drives, house shows, bigger stages, and the friendships that made strange cities feel like home. More than a music memoir, it’s a coming-of-age story about community, creativity and the people who made the journey matter.
