This Barstool Blackout Tour Opener Is Now One Of The Biggest DJs In The World
Ah the Barstool Blackout Tour. 4 of the best and, at the same time, worst years of our lives.
A different show in a different town every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of the week, every week, of every September, October, November, December, March, April, and May for four years.
If you have no idea what the hell I'm talking about, take 5 and watch the documentary Gaz put together a couple years back for the cliff notes.

On that tour we used to book openers for every show. We'd usually get whoever the biggest DJ on campus was for our college area shows, but when we had really big shows, like 3,000 people or more, we'd bring in bigger acts. We had everybody from 3lau, Kap Slap, The Jane Doze, 5 and Dime, and yes, even Gryffin. Now I can't take all the credit for finding and booking everybody we had on board, Zollo did a great job doing that.
Gryffin wasn't just a one-and-done act with our Barstool parties though. He also played with us before we were even doing the Blackout Tour. Back when we were throwing Stool-a-palooza parties with Sammy Adams, Mac Miller, Mike Posner, Wale, etc, we also had Gryffin on some of those bills as well.
He also did several legs of tours when I was on the road with Sammy Adams.
So we go pretty far back and he knows as well as anybody about Barstool parties back in the day.
