PLAYING FOR CHANGE - UPDATE - 09/07/2009

ON THE ROAD WITH THE PLAYING FOR CHANGE BAND

It has been an exciting couple of weeks for Playing For Change! The weekend before last the Playing For Change Band headlined the Jazz/World stage at Glastonbury. For that very special performance, we were joined by Baba Maal, Vusi Mahlasela, Tinariwen, and the Omagh Community Youth Choir! Following our performance at Glastonbury, the PFC Band returned to the states to perform a free show at the Santa Monica Pier last Thursday that was attended by over 10,000 people! - To read more about the show and view photos check out the latest (here)

If you were unable to catch either of these performances, don't worry-- we'll be sharing songs and footage with you in the future.

On another high note, I am very excited to announce that we will be performing on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien...Tonight, July 9th! So be sure to let everyone know and watch with your family and friends at 11:35 PM.

Finally, if you live in (or near) New Orleans, the PFC Band is going to be playing Tipitina's Uptown on Saturday, July 18th. I hope you will be able to join us for what I'm sure will be an inspiring night of music, and love in one of the greatest cities for music in the country. For more information about the band, musicians, our upcoming gigs, and more check out the band's page at http://www.playingforchange.com/band.

I hope to connect with you at one of our shows soon. In the meantime, keep following and sharing the music!

One Love,

Mark Johnson
