Our Balance series seeks to dissolve taboos around money in the music industry. Today, Slow Hollows looks back at the income and expenses from a nine-date leg of their current tour.
Slow Hollows' Austin Feinstein has been in the music industry more than once. Recording and releasing music since he was a teenager, Feinstein attracted increasing attention over the past decade, collaborating with the likes of Frank Ocean and Tyler, the Creator, before disbanding Slow Hollows and (as of March 8) reviving the project.

That Resurgence: Slow Hollows' Fourth Album Bullhead – ditches the dancing, electronically infused direction of 2019 actors, instead, he adopted a warmer, folkier strain of indie rock. Sometimes it's smooth, understated, and steel-backed, like on opener “Bullhead.” Elsewhere, it ramps up to make a little more noise, like on the single “Idle Hands” or the cathartic, distorted anthem “Soap.” It's a new era for Slow Hollows, but it couldn't feel more natural.
To accompany the new release, Slow Hollows embarked on a headlining tour across the United States. He is currently in the middle of the second leg of the tour, which will run until early May. In the spirit of the Balance Sheet, Feinstein has shared expenses and income from the first nine dates, bringing together everything from per diems to a night at the pub to a “nightmare scenario” that, fortunately, resulted in a free hotel room . “While these numbers represent 13 days of touring, we will be back on tour for another three weeks,” he clarifies. “Therefore, it is difficult to say how much money will be left to raise in the end.” Still, it's a transparent look at the realities of life on the road.
