Info from Team Love:
Simon Joyner is planning a few, short tours to support his new album Out Into the Snow. Instead of performing in the typical indie rock venues and bars, he would like to explore a more intimate setting for these shows—living rooms and art spaces around the country. The house (or art space) show removes the elevated stage that separates the performer from the audience. It removes the distracting noise from the bar and provides an environment that allows the music to be the main focus. Simon has always felt that house shows and D.I.Y. spaces are often the best places to perform but it hasn’t been feasible to base a tour on this preference until now. Joyner is going to the southeast in March, the northeast in May, and the west coast in July.

Yes! Show's starting promptly at 7PM, so it'll be over by 8:30 for go-time. We're cooking out with Simon before-hand and everyone's invited to that. We'll have beer and food for the show but feel free to BYOF and BYOB. $10 is rich, I know, but Simon and his two bandmates are doing this tour outside the system, in small venues, and have got to pay-go. It's gonna be rad!
bull house, 1030 Maine, across from the football stadium. Cook-out at 5:30. Show at 7.
