daniel john concert!!

Today is a very exciting day for me (& I’m hoping for you too)! I wanted to invite you all to come join me at my first solo concert live on Thursday, August 18th at 7:00pm. The concert is called “Live From My House” because…that is where the concert will be held! Now, I understand that a lot of you might not be able to make it to Missouri the day of the concert, so I thought I would see if maybe I could come to you? Here’s the story of how this works…

Two nights ago I happened across this site called StageIt.com and quickly realized they were doing an amazing thing. They are giving musicians the ability to begin hosting online concerts through their site. After a bit of researching I found the area where I could sign up to become one of their approved artists. I sent in my application and they sent me a response later in the day that I was all set. I immediately logged on and scheduled a concert which I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE for you all to come and watch!

This first concert will be rather short (15-20 mins) as we give this a trial run together. And, because it will be a shorter first show, the price of a ticket is only $1. I can almost guarantee you can cover the cost by searching through your couch cushions right now. You are welcome to pay more than that price or to leave a tip, but the money is not my goal. What I am most excited about is the opportunity to try a brand new concert “venue” out and for you all to come and join me!

I will be playing songs that we wrote during our [5in5] challenge, but I will also be taking requests for the next 2 weeks. So leave me a comment here telling me a song you would like to hear, OR send me a tweet OR a facebook post. Then, I’ll reveal at the concert whose song I chose and play it for you live.

One last thing – of course I want you all to come to my first show, but I understand that it might not work for your schedule. Or you might be saving that dollar for a Grande Peppermint Mocha. Now I don’t ever want to come between anyone and their coffee. I am serious when I say if you can’t make it, no worries – there will be other shows! What would be great instead is if you could help me by invite people you know to the show or simply by posting this link –  http://ow.ly/5OibY  – and encouraging people to come to my show.

So don’t forget – get your tickets, send me a song request, & help me get the word out. I will see you on August 18th in my living room!! Thanks!!
