The Brother James Quarantine Tour
My favorite way to spend an evening is to share stories and songs with a few people over wine and dinner.
There were a lot of reasons to be sad about this quarantine, but one of them was having to cancel quite a few of these evenings — and now I can’t book more of them.
On the other hand… maybe something magic has been unlocked.
I can now show up with my guitar in Tennessee at 5pm and then in Idaho at 6pm, and rather than having to sell out shows and have whole lineup, I could just play for a few people who want to hear a few songs.
So I figured I’d try something new: a Quarantine Tour!
Read below for more details on how to sign up for a “tour date”, but in short…
It’s a personal concert:
I’ll show up in your living room (via Zoom) for a 45-minute performance,
and play a personalized set, a few songs for just you and a few friends.
Of course this time has been a bit difficult financially for me as a full time musician and artist cancelling gigs and such, but I know it has been for all of us — and there are some people who have had it the worst of all of us…
So during the call I’ll make it clear how you can pay-what-you-want, and I’ll tell you how you can support my music, but this week (3/27 – 4/3) all donations that come in during and after the call will be donated to nokidhungry.org, to feed children who normally get free lunch at school and are going hungry during the quarantine.
See you soon!

How to sign up:
1. Choose a date on the calendar over there →
2. When prompted, toss in up to 10 emails of friends you’d like to invite, and they’ll get an automatic invite. You may also want to give them a heads up as well, just in case.
3. Input 1-3 words: a feeling or a theme you’d like me to explore – love, faith, doubt, heartbreak, peace, hope, etc. – anything that you’re feeling or want to feel, and I’ll find some songs to explore that theme
Then I’ll show up in your living room (via Zoom) and play a few songs for you and a few friends! It’ll be a video chat so we’ll all be there together – bonus points if you have wine or dinner 🙂
You can also of course share the zoom link with others or post it on social media – but you’re welcome to keep it as small and personal as you’d like. 5-10 people is the sweet spot.
