Noah Derksen has been making his way across Canada, the U.S., and Europe for over a decade, playing everywhere from living rooms and coffee shops to festivals and established venues. His thoughtful songwriting and grassroots approach have allowed him to build a career one show at a time.

Noah and Logan sit down to talk about the realities of touring as an independent artist. From booking your own shows, creating connections with venues and fans, and staying organized on the road, to the challenges of making it all work financially, Noah shares the lessons he’s learned along the way.

They also get into the importance of merch, tools and resources for indie touring, and why sometimes you have to get a little scrappy to make things happen.
