In this candid vlog, Kaleb Sanders and his crew give viewers a behind‑the‑scenes look at a hometown show in Jacksonville and the early leg of their "Way It Is" tour. The conversation jumps from playful banter about Kaleb’s multiple wife‑beater shirts and tattoo care, to a detailed walkthrough of a custom‑built tech pack that houses microphones, cables, batteries and UPS ports. They celebrate the energy of the Jacksonville crowd, recount fan road‑trips from Miami, and lament a busted in‑ear monitor set‑up while promising improvements for the next night. The crew also shares transport anecdotes (sports‑mode vehicle, air‑boat confusion), name‑drops band members (Scott, Derek, Erin, Nate), and outline upcoming tour stops in Alabama, Washington State and beyond. Throughout, the tone remains informal, enthusiastic, and community‑focused, emphasizing camaraderie, hard‑working DIY ethos, and the joy of playing for hometown fans.

What up, what up, what up, Dad? Long time no see. You caught me, uh, you caught me, uh, lubing up my new tattoo. Oh shit, probably should have used a different word for that. Glizzying up the tattoo, just keeping it nice and healthy. Is that right? No, has more than one, people. Breaking news, Caleb has more than one white beater. Something else other than a white beater? I mean, I got a black one. Yeah, I can put on my black one. That's actually the one that, uh, people comment to me about. I just think it's funny that the lore is like, one day you were— when you're doing rehearsals, the guy like threw a wife beater at you and was like, yeah, no, my vocal coach was like, you need to wear this wife beater. And it was a gray one, I think it's this one. He was like, he threw it at me as I was walking out. He's like, wear that when you're jogging outside. And I was like, I'm not gonna, but I will wear it. But, and then I put it on and I was like, nice, dude. And then I watched a TikTok of Matt Rife, and I was like, I'm sold on these. But who's against the wife beater? How do you mean? You don't have a wife and you don't beat anyone. I'll drop— oh, I'll drop Erin in Savannah. Yeah, yeah, we'll drop her because she was a host. So Erin said that? Yeah. What'd she say? She didn't even say that to my face. Erin Arlo. Yeah, yeah. Oh, there she is. Which one do you want to look at first? So cool. Which one is— what is what? Well, if you read it, Brad, it's upside down. Yeah, can't read it. Cable looms and Brain work box. Oh, and I had one of these. I don't know if you bought one. No, nice. But I just threw it in there. I did buy one, but we can always have extra because I'm sure that we'll break stuff. Because you will have to go to Guitar Center. Because we have to go to Guitar Center. We need an excuse to go to Guitar Center. It's got the tab on there too, tells you where it belongs. Damn, Scott. That's sexy. Oh, that one came out. So I, I made this little, uh, this little like tech pack thing and it just goes right there. Microphones and stuff. Oh, that's so cool. The mics here are the little mixer things. The other mics got a little— this is what I was talking about with like carry stuff in here. Got backup batteries, cable ties, extra stuff there. How about that? You just, uh, zipper is right there. Oh my God, that's pretty! Does it got Wi-Fi on there? Oh shit, that thing got any UPS ports? That's so cool. Yeah, that's sick. Uh, It's got that new wood smell. Did you make that box? I did make this box. Wow. Reclaimed, actually. It's such a vibe. It's going to look great on stage. Scott above and beyond. You've been promoted to vital, dude. We're going to have to kick Derek off of vital. Scott's vital. So holy shit, fire! Oh wow, it's actually— this is, this is under 50 pounds. This should be done working by this afternoon.

We're doing what we can, but tomorrow, tomorrow will be better. We'll be locked in tomorrow. We always, we always, always, always try to do better every time, and that's all we can do. Rock on. Dude, night one knocked out. Paddy! We're here at Legends, and this was the first place I ever played a gig. Really? Yeah. Across the street though, like the old— their old hut over there.

It feels great. And I think Billy Joel's playing down the street and they get out at in like 20 minutes and maybe some people will hear the music and come stop by. They might be like, that sounds nothing like Billy, but we can move on, you know. We're open, we're diverse with our music. Yeah, what did he say? Of course. Since you've been gone, I've been down here. And if you give me a chance, I'll be the man that you need. Baby, if you come back, I'll be better. Because hey, I'm from the— I'm from the media industry. I've been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, like your boy. We're here, right here. So I know how it is, man.

Also, I wasn't talking shit. Two wings left. Who else needs them? I mean, also, liquid crack, anyone? No, maybe Scott, maybe. I don't know. Why do you look comfortable? I don't know. I just feel like even if nobody was here, I just want to sing my heart out. They've been trying to get closer with shot after shot after well whiskey shot. I'm down to try everything that they got.
