I am a singer-songwriter in Philadelphia. I sing and play acoustic guitar, mostly original music, with a few covers by my favorites, like George Harrison, Donovan, Nick Drake. Busking, I'm discovering, is not only about sharing the music but enjoying the encounters with people who happen by. It's a wonderful tapestry of life in this city. I play by day in Rittenhouse Square and Suburban Station, and on Friday and Saturday nights in Old City. I'd love it if you stopped by.
I love this song by Donovan called "Colours." I even try to spice it up with a little harmonica.
ReplyDeleteHi David -
ReplyDeleteGreat music! Thanks for sharing!
I work with Back on My Feet, a local non-profit organization that promotes the self-sufficiency of the Philadelphia’s homeless population by engaging them in running as a means to build confidence, strength and self-esteem. Here's our website: www.backonmyfeet.org. I'd love it if you could check it out.
We have a big fundraising race on July 17 and 18th at the Boathouse Row along the Schuylkill River Running Loop. It's called the 3rd Annual Back on My Feet 20in24 Relay Challenge, Lone Ranger Ultra Marathon, Midnight Madness Run and Pajama Loop. It's a 24 hour event at which we are expecting around 2500 attendants. Here's the website for the event: www.20in24.com
I'm currently coordinating volunteer performances to excite the crowd throughout the event, and I'm wondering if you would be interested in performing! I'd be happy to coordinate a a 1-2 hour appearance at a time most convenient for you. Additionally, we could station you at any point along the 8 mile loop. Of course, if you know any other buskers, we'd love to have them join us too.
If you are interested in performing, or if you would like to chat about the event, please feel free to email me at abbey@backonmyfeet.org. I'd love to talk with you.
Hope your day is going well! Happy 4th.
Thanks,
Abbey
