Ever since Kate Hudson graced the screen as Penny Lane in Almost Famous, my desire (and probably the desire of millions of others) to throw caution to the wind and go on tour ramped up to an all-time high.
From Beyoncé’s Balmain looks to the thought of Ed Sheeran crooning the crew to sleep in a luxury tour bus, going on tour has always seemed like the most glamorous of all jobs. But it also got us thinking about how one *really* survives on the road. What are the things that make a bus feel more like home? Streaming Tracy Anderson workouts? Sticking to your vegan diet? We tapped the ultimate husband-and-wife duo, Jean and Patti Grobler, who together form the band St. Lucia, to breakdown the essentials they bring with them.

Patti Beranek-Grobler’s Tour Essentials:
1/5
“I’m obsessed with my Reformation Woven Bag that I got from my bestie, Nini (Haerts). I can literally throw half of my suitcase in there if I want and find everything easily. I always have a Turkish Towel in there as well, because they are super light and act as a towel, a blanket, or a picnic blanket.”





Jean Grobler’s Tour Essentials:
2/5
“So our new album was pretty much named after Hyperion, a book and series of books by Dan Simmons. It’s a really imaginative and epic space opera, but including this here is just a metaphor for taking any book on the road with me because I love reading, especially before bed. It really helps me sleep better to keep my phone in a different room and go to bed reading a book instead of looking at my phone. Plus I’m a huge sci-fi fan, so there’s that.”
