Day spent August touring out West, playing at venues such as Capitol Theatre in Salt Lake City, Utah, the House of Blues in Las Vegas, Nev., San Diego, Los Angeles and Anaheim, Calif., and the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Ore. Additionally, this summer Day played select support dates with the Dave Matthews Band and headlined Buffalo’s “Thursday in the Square” this past June, playing to thousands of appreciative concert-goers.
