Vacationist League: News

Vacationist League, John Tilson and Brandon Beavers, will perform on Saturday, May 15th at the Brown Cup Coffee Company in Lenoir City, Tennessee. The music will begin at 8 pm. The Brown Cup Coffee Company serves locally roasted gourmet coffee and espresso, desserts, pastries, and authentic gelato, along with live music and art exibits. ~One of the top five places to have dessert as voted in the WBIR Top Five at Five Poll! We are most appreciative to them for the opportunity to present to you our highly original, lyrical, satirical, empirical songs. Just as the tree that falls in the forest with no one around to hear it makes no sound, we don't actually play this gig unless you show up. That's a lot of pressure, I realize, but you're an important person-- get used to it!


The Brown Cup Coffee Company is located in front of Home Depot on Hwy 321.


There is no cover charge-- we have a self-service kiosk for tips. All four of our CD's: Pleasure Map, Unjust Intonations, Feed The Kitty, and Bypassin' The Barroom will be available at the show.


Bypassin' The Barroom is also available at Disc Exchange, or online here: http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/VacationistLeague

Brandon and I have been playing music together as Vacationist League for more than a decade, and we continue to enjoy doing this-- creating and presenting music for and to you. Hope you can join us for our next musical offering on Saturday evening.



Thanks for your support. I sincerely hope you can make it.

This Labor Day Weekend, take a Staycation with Vacationist League. Let our highly seasoned (like Jerky?) musical travail agents John Tilson and Brandon Beavers take you on a musical journey from the beginning of a song, through the middle to the ending of the same song, then from the ending of said same song to the beginning of a different song, through the middle to the ending of the same different song. Wet hair. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. The show is August 30, 2008 at the Bistro at the Bijou Theatre. You are cordially invited to attend.

It is good to have the y and z back in their places. V L will be back in the Bistro on Saturday, July 12, playing our Lyrical, Satirical, and Empirical music just for you. You are cordially invited to attend. The show will begin at exactly 9 pm.

Vacationist League will play on Friday May 9, 2008 at the Bistro at the Bijou Theatre. We really enjoy playing at the Bistro. They have excellent food, great service, and ambiance galore. The show will begin at exactly 9. After all, we're Knoxville's most punctual musical ensemble.

Our next performance is on Friday, April 18, at the Bistro by the Bijou. We will begin right around 9 pm.

On the sixth day of the third month, she will come and we will stand beside her. Ani DiFranco will play at the Bijou Theater on Thursday March 6th; Vacationist League will play right next door immediately afterward. Spandex flex is a bit of a stretch, ides minus eight is a bit obfuscate. Perhaps it would be better just to say, hey, we'll play at 9:30. Oh, and all y'all are cordially invited and such.

Vacationist League will play on Monday, January 21 at the Bistro by the Bijou. This is the second performance in our Coattail Riders™ concert series. We'll be riding the train of the great Richard Thompson! Our show is free with a RT ticket stub, and free-er without. You are cordially invited.

We're playing right next door to the great singer and songwriter Loudon Wainwright III. Hopefully, we'll be not guilty by association!

If you've ever perused the user reviews at Harmony Central, you recognize the headline question. Imagine my surprise upon arriving at The Acoustic Coffeehouse (Johnson City) last night and discovering that I left my guitar at home! Many thanks to Jim Benelisha for the loaner guitar, and our thanks to the staff and patrons of Acoustic Coffeehouse for their enthusiastic support.

Earlier this year, I had the great privilege to perform at the Charleston County Public Library as part of their Local Blend series. Many thanks to Kevin Crothers and the staff at the Charleston County Public Library for the invitation to play. A link to the video of the performance is on the links page.

Summer performances will feature the acoustic duo and the electric quartet. Hope to see you.

To accompany our new music. It's heading your way real soon.
