AM's distinctive melodic swagger is so impressive that it convinced French electro-pop duo Air to take the multi-instrumentalist out on their North American tour. Now AM is spreading his global sound around the country in support of his sophomore album 'Future Sons & Daughters.'

The New Orleans native will be checking in with personal notes and photos all along his 12-date run with Air. In his first Road Report, AM talks about kicking off the tour in Miami and how it was the first time he and his band had ever performed in the Sunshine State.

We left Los Angeles for Miami on Friday morning March 12th, 2010. The first show was at The Fillmore right in the center of Miami Beach. This was my first time playing in Miami, or anywhere in Florida for that matter, and the show was great. Too bad I had to spend the day looking around for a guitar since mine was broken in travel. Hope to get something cool from eBay along this tour route.

Our goal of consuming some Cuban food was not reached, but that's the touring life -- only time for so many things. We're off to Orlando and then to Atlanta in the next couple of days. It's great to be back in the south.
