On Tour

From January 18–25, 2009,[3] Tiemann traveled with bandmates David Cook (guitar and lead vocals), Andy Skib (rhythm guitar, keyboards, backup vocals), Kyle Peek (drums, backing vocals), and Joey Clement (bass guitar) to the Middle East to complete a USO Tour.[4] The band visited seven bases on their trip to Kuwait and Iraq and played songs from David Cook (album) as well as crowd-pleasing covers including Tenacious D's Fuck Her Gently and Van Halen's Hot for Teacher.

In Mid-February 2009, Tiemann embarked on a nationwide tour serving as Musical Director and Lead guitarist for The Declaration Tour to support the platinum-selling,[5] major-label debut David Cook (album). The tour began at Club Downunder in Tallahassee, Florida on February 13, 2009 and was originally set to end in Tulsa, Oklahoma on April 25, 2009.[6] The tour was extended through the fall and came to a close on December 1, 2009 at The Fillmore in Charlotte, North Carolina after 154 shows.

In Mid-May 2009, Tiemann and fellow bandmates took a short break from the North American leg of the Declaration Tour to travel to Manila in the Philippines. Tiemann made numerous appearances on Filipino television with David Cook[7] leading up to a one night concert playing to upwards of 40,000 attendees at the SM Mall of Asia in Manila on May 16, 2009.[8]
