A letter from Common
Rotation
From: Common Rotation streetteam@commonrotation.com
A
Living Room
Everyone has a place of their own. A place to breathe
freely in a
somewhat claustrophobic world, a place to kick your shoes off and
crank up your favorite folk music, a place to drift off into the
seemingly endless abyss of the internet or digital cable television,
place to lose and keep track of exactly who you are, a place to get
some living done. Some might call it a home. It's only when we share
this home with others (whether it an apartment, a house, or a
cardboard
box behind the supermarket), that we finally develop an
intimacy unlike any
kind. With a lover, a friend, a family member,
or a foreign
exchange student from Saudi Arabia, we instill these
feelings by sharing
such a personalized confined space. By opening
your home to even a
mere visitor there in return opens a new
meaningful
relationship.
With all of this in mind, Common Rotation has adopted a new
campaign
plan. In light of there recent success as a folk duo, Adam and
Eric,
foresee a new future for their U.S. tours. By way of avoiding
hostile
clubs along with their obscene admission and drink prices the
boys
would like to forge onto un-folked territory across this great
land
through the months of February, March, and April of 2004. They
want
to cut out the middle man and bring their undeniably entertaining
show to your living room.
Many fans attending their performances have
been driving or flying
unspeakably long distances just catch Common Ro in
their element and
this is still encouraged and appreciated. The one question
these
travelers always ask that always stumps CR is "When are you coming
to
(insert small town far away from the Northeast or L.A. let's
use
Kalamazoo just for fun)?" Well NOW the answer to this is simple. On
a
strategic date scheduled between the folk club/coffee house
engagements
of there winter/spring tour Adam and Eric will come to
play an intimate
performance in your living room. They will bring
all of their songs
and road rage straight to your couch. They know
that you're thinking there
must be a catch. An evening with the CR
boyz, in my own home!
This is too good to be true. It's not and in
fact it is far from
complicated. To host a 2 hour Living Room set
all you would be
required to do is open your door at specific time
to 15-20 people and let
Common Rotation take it from there. The
performance will be of the
quality expected at a folk club if not more
intimate. Common Rotation
will accept 5 to 10 dollar donations to
keep them moving from show to show
while selling merchandise during
and briefly after the set.
Immediately following the show everyone
will be filed out accordingly
leaving you to your humble abode.
All you have to do to schedule a Living
Room performance is e-mail us

In order
for Common Rotation to bring their music to you and create
unbreakable ties
between them and their fans we need volunteers. Help
your favorite folk
band reach more people and establish homes in small
towns on the east and
west coast and everywhere in between.
