Pigeon John -- FREE INSTORE

Pigeon John Free In-store Performance
Thursday, Feb. 28th, 7:00 PM

We don't do a lot of Hip-hop in-stores mostly because there just aren't that many Hip Hop artists who offer to play, that we would consider. Up until the phone rang asking if we'd like to have Pigeon John for a live set we've been at a loss as to where to start. For those new to Pigeon John here's a bit of background, he's an LA based MC, he was part of both Brainwashed Project and the famed LA Symphony Crew who've been putting out music consistently since the late 90's. Pigeon broke off from the crew and has been doing the solo thing for the last couple of years. He's a positive and vibrant wordsmith with a great sense of humor, he is almost as well respected for his live show as he is for his rhymes, and he came out of the same scene as the Pharcyde and Freestyle Fellowship and he's been favorably compared to De La Soul and Jurassic 5. He's got three full- length albums and an EP available (including his most recent on Quannum), and the plan is to record our in-store for release before his next album, which is due late in 2008.

This is different than our usual fare, but could very likely be one of the high-points of our year.
