I only counted the ones I've at least spent an overnight stay in. Indiana barely qualifies as that was literally a couple of nights in motels on the way to or from places. And I've only been to Ohio a couple of times for gigs. I've spent most of my time in the States in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Maine and Washington State. And in Canada, Ontario wins by miles, followed by multiple visits to Nova Scotia, Alberta, British Columbia and (only a couple of times) to Manitoba (specifically Winnipeg).
By the time we 'retired' as Artisan we'd done 31 North American tours, (usually both Canada and the US on the same tour) but mostly we went back to the same places. There's not much of a market for English vocal harmony in (say) Texas and Wyoming. (Mind you, who'd have thought there'd be a good gig in Fort Smith, Arkansas? But there is!)
My claim to fame is playing Broadway, but anyone who knows NYC will tell you it's a long street. :-)
