Miami
From Reunion Blues Tour Guide
We made part of the record in Miami, and I would go down to the beach, and not 20 feet from the water I see a fish that is at least seven feet long swimming close to the shore. I did not go back in the ocean the entire month.--Michael Stipe

Venues & Booking
"Churchill's is so raw and the atmosphere is pure- badass venue! The sound isnt the best, but the people and the crowd always is. Its in the middle of Little Haiti, so watch out for the crackheads wandering around the building. We got our van "hit and run" while playing a show there, so definitely be on your toes. But its all worth it when you still smell the sweat and beer of all the bands that have ever played on that stage!"
