Tenille Townes has a chivalrous chef to thank for keeping her United Kingdom tour on track.
After her tour manager and bus driver contracted a stomach bug, Tenille and her crew were stranded at their hotel in England, five hours from the venue where they were supposed to perform.
“My awesome band guys tried going around the block, but couldn’t drive because driving here is on the other side of the road and it was a stick shift,” she explains in a TikTok video.
Tenille asked someone at the hotel’s restaurant if he knew anyone who could drive them to the show that night. That’s when Cat, the restaurant’s chef, stepped in to help. Tenille says he was willing “to drop everything and drive us to the show,” calling him a “knight in shining armor.”
“He was the sweetest, and the shows truly wouldn’t have happened without him,” Tenille writes alongside photos of Cat posing with her and the band at the venue.
“Moral of the story is that there are really good people in this world, and people who are willing to be a friend and lend a helping hand,” she concludes.
Tenille is wrapping up a string of tour dates across Europe before returning to the U.S. for a show in New York City on November 2.
She recently released her new single, “The Last Time.”
