Music fans! This week, some of my favorite Bay Area musicians, Goh Nakamura and Han and Sadie of The Invisible Cities (plus friends), embark on Follow Your Whim, the Unofficial 2009 JetBlue Music Tour. They're bringing the show to you!
On a whim, they bought JetBlue's $599 all-you-can-fly pass, and for the next four weekends, they're using it play in cities all over the country. They'll be playing duo/trio acoustic style in coffeehouses, people's homes, clubs, record stores, and "maybe even next to that troll thing under the bridge in Seattle."
This weekend, we're playing shows in LA, Houston and Austin. Later this month, they'll be hitting up Seattle, Los Angeles and New York, with more cities to be announced:
FOLLOW YOUR WHIMThese should be really cool, intimate shows. Don't see your city on the schedule? Let them know, and maybe they can make it happen. To learn more about the tour, go to the Follow Your Whim website here. Also, got to the Invisible Cities website here and Goh Nakamura's website here.
