Jukebox the Ghost’s Tommy Siegel Gives Us a Glimpse at Millennials’ Dark Future

Tommy took over our Instagram again for his van doodles series.

10:45 AM EST on March 7, 2016

Being a touring musician can definitely have its perks, but the experience is also replete with lots of mind-numbing hours in the van. To fight the fatigue, Tommy Siegel of Jukebox the Ghost, Narc Twain and the Drunken Sufis started taking requests for what he calls “Van Doodles” – which are basically what they sound like. Tommy even put together a book of those doodles, which you can purchase here.

Now, Tommy’s doodles have a new home: the Talkhouse Instagram. Every few weeks, Siegel will be taking over our photofeed and taking requests. The singer-guitarist put pen to paper this past weekend, and we have our favorite of his doodles below. If you missed out this time around, never you fear – Tommy will be back in the van and doodling very soon. Keep an eye on our Instagram to find out when.
