HOLY SMOKES…. we asked the band 2 yrs ago on Twitter if they knew what a comfort doll was and if they would ever consider doing a photo with us – drummer Barry Kerch -yes, and yes. Bassist Eric Bass – yes of course. Guitarist Zach Myers – yes, sure. And singer Brent Smith – well, we didn’t attract Brent’s attention at the time the band were all doing the Q and A 🙂
Fast forward 2 yrs later when we suddenly found out the band was coming to our town on their Canadian tour with Kiss, and we contacted mgmt to go through proper channels, waited, and got a YES the band would like to do this. Sweet. Now to knit dolls!!! We had in mind already what to knit, so got to work and spent a good four evenings making a doll for each band member.
These are the dolls we knitted! We put Brent’s doll in red (as he’s often in red on stage), Barry’s doll has dreads :), Eric’s is in a stripy shirt, and Zach’s has a beanie/hat and Nikes! Once we get our photo with the band we”ll post about that too!
