The Story
The tour centers The Long Road Home — a documentary about my brother De'Andre, who passed away at the age of 22 after sustaining a traumatic brain injury in an automobile accident, and my family's journey through grief, loss, and healing.
De'Andre was loved deeply by a community that still carries him — and the question his life left us with has never stopped echoing: what does it mean to live a meaningful life?
Not just to have been present — but to have left something behind that lives on in your absence. A feeling. A question. A reason for the people who loved you to keep going. That question is at the heart of everything Kid Admiral does. This tour is part of how we carry it forward.
"I needed a place to transform what I was carrying with others. That's why I created The Journey Is the Thing Tour."
— Tamara, Founder of Kid Admiral
Where we've been
Since that premiere, The Long Road Home has screened in three major cities. In every room, strangers stayed long after the credits — talking, crying, laughing, finding themselves in a story that they thought wasn't theirs only to realize it was.
Monroeville, AL | Los Angeles, CA | San Diego, CA ↳ Montgomery, AL
What we're building
Come for the film, the live music and connect over crowd participation and have a shared experience. Stay for the dancing.
The tour features HOMECOMING — an immersive installation and gathering exploring love, connection, grief, joy, ancestral memory, and release. The film is central to this transformative experience. Although the experience carries gravity, it also makes room for levity. Joy and grief live together here.
