In the wake of a successful debut album, Gentle Spirit, Jonathan Wilson and his band embarked on tour supporting Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. As a member of the Heartbreakers’ first European tour in decades, Wilson had the chance to play some of the word’s most iconic stages, including Le Grande Rex in Paris and Royal Albert Hall in London. In an effort to document life on the road, Lauren Ward was invited along to photograph the experience. Catch a glimpse of the band’s experience on the tour in the gallery below.
