For decades, creatives have been teased to not quit their day jobs over their art. This year, Shane Natalie finally stopped listening.<\/p>\n

The Columbus, Ohio-based musician \u2014 whose Good Shade project will play Mickey\u2019s Tavern on July 7<\/a> \u2014 had been splitting time between playing power pop jams and teaching elementary special education. But punk rock isn\u2019t easy to do on school nights, and Natalie found himself limited in his ability to put focus on Good Shade.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never been somebody who\u2019s toured a whole bunch. I\u2019ve been on a couple longer tours, but basically only in the summer,\u201d he told me in a recent interview. \u201cI wanted to be able to tour on this more and have a little bit more freedom to play weekends more. Or play during the week, or take a tour here and there and not just limit it to the summer. So I decided to walk away from teaching for a while.\u201d<\/span>\n
