Welcome to Seattle!

Posted by Jeremy Goulder, 2 years ago

We hit the road after an amazing show in Portland last night, and rolled into Seattle at 4AM this morning. After a few hours rest in our hotel we all loaded into one of the tour buses and headed to Starbucks Headquarters for a short three-song set. The Playing For Change Band is featured (along with U2, Dave Matthews Band and John Legend) on a special (RED) release being distributed through Starbucks this holiday season. It's a gift to their customers who spend $15, and for each CD distributed they are donating $1 to the Global Fund fighting HIV/AIDS in Africa.

As soon as we got back to the hotel we grabbed gear and walked a few blocks to the Moore Theatre for tonight's concert. The 100-year-old venue is absolutely beautiful, and we can't wait to put on another amazing show for the Playing For Change Family here in Seattle. Following tonight's gig we're heading to Vancouver for our last performance in North America-- at least for this tour!
