Punk rocker Laura Jane Grace is coming to White Oak Music Hall. WhiteOakMH LauraJaneGrace

Sunday, May 15. The moment Grace pondered during our phone chat was also a bit of a metaphor for the nervous excitement she and her tour mates are experiencing as they return to the road, a place where all sorts of magic can happen.

“You know, if we had been having this conversation two years ago I would have been like, yeah, I don’t have any anxiety before going on tour but this is the first proper month-long tour since COVID hit and it’s kind of astonishing really how much re-learning is involved, and that’s down to small things like realizing I’ve packed way too much stuff in my suitcase or just feeling like my whole pre-show routine is thrown off and re-learning how to do it all,” she said.

We suggested that shows a level of trust and friendship the tour mates share and Grace agreed that they are friends and do trust each other, primarily because of all the experience each tour member has playing live shows. But she also believes it’s okay to try a new model for live music now. “I don’t know. I think it’s a really interesting question,” she said. “I think that also, for all the reasons you talked about with Texas, and even pointing to Beto O’Rourke and his connections to the punk scene, it may seem like it’s not that wild of a question. It’s not that far off if someone who used to hang out with At The Drive-In and played with bands with those people could go on to hold political office.
