Teacher tours during summer break

The singer from Idaho has a slight accent – something he picked up while touring coffee shops and bars in New Zealand. Dressed in shorts and flip flops, he and three members of his band pull music equipment out of a van at Idaho State University. They rush to set a small stage in the middle of campus for a sound check. The show will be the first of three within a week for singer, Aaron Ball, who now mostly plays music throughout the northwest. Ball plans to cram a year’s worth of performances into a summer — the 36-year-old teaches automotive classes at Blackfoot High School. “Teaching is a great job for people in bands,” Ball said. “What other job gives you the whole summer to play music?”/ Devin Bodkin , Idaho Ed News.
