Rare Vacationist League Show 5/15/2010

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.
