There will be an acoustic guitar made available at the show.You don’t have to perform anything; the audience is as essential as the performers.No one turned away for lack of funds (applies to advanced sales too)! Email chelsea@yg2d.com if you’d like a ticket reserved for you at a lower or $0 price. We got you.&quot;Artist info:The Feelings Parade’s music has brought them on multiple national US tours and all over Europe--everywhere from grand music halls to prisons; from music festivals to the bedsides of hospice patients--and has had them sharing stages with like-hearted musicians such as Glen Hansard, Mirah, Josiah Johnson (The Head and The Heart), Ayla Nereo, Mount Eerie, Rainbow Girls, John Craigie, Whiskerman, and MaMuse. They regularly get asked to make an entire album of their unscripted, often hilarious, and vulnerable onstage banter. The project has become a central part of the burgeoning West Coast folk scene, and whether they’re playing as a duo or with their sexy 7-piece band, The Feelings Parade are known for being rare musical truth-tellers who choose lay it all out, both inside and outside of the songs.Tickets:$15.00 - $25.00
