Tom Brosseau -- FREE INSTORE

Tom Brosseau Free In-store Performance
Friday, June 19th - 7:00pm

Every once in a while we throw our arms around a fresh young musician and hold on, Tom Brosseau is such an artist. Echoing the dustbowl earnestness of early masters like Seeger and Guthrie, while still sounding fresh enough to garner comparisons to Devendra Banheart and Antony (of the Johnsons), Tom is a shining light in the new "authentic music" movement (yeah, I just made it up, but click his myspace and see if it doesn't fit). Tom is a real American original and this will be his first Fingerprints appearance to feature accompaniment (and his third, overall), and we're expecting the additional colors in his palette to take things to a new level.

We are opening the guest list first come, first served, so click that myspace link and then grab your phone (our number is 562.433.4996). Tom's new album is Posthumous Success and while it's not officially out until June 23rd, we've talked to the time-warp and we're happy to announce that our in-store will be the first place you can grab this most excellent new album.
