Where’s the Band? Tour

All you need to know is that this show features Dustin Kensrue. And an acoustic guitar. In his hands. Anyone who has previously experienced this knows what a powerful experience it can be. Anyone who hasn’t, well, a solo Kensrue show is the closest I imagine I’ll ever be to participating in those giant arena prayer concerts you see on late night telethon commercials where everyone is so amped on life. The covers he’s done of Radiohead and Counting Crows songs have been known to cure the afflicted, I’m pretty sure. We in SoCal are spoiled by the fact that Kensrue is only doing our dates of the tour, but let it not overshadow the fact that he’s sharing the stage with some of the best fellow front men his genre has to offer. The Early November’s Ace Enders, Saves the Day’s Chris Conley, the Get Up Kids’ Matt Pryor and Into It. Over It.’s Evan Weiss round out the bill, and round the awesomeness of this show up to 11. All five of these guys are great when backed by full bands, but can be awe-inspiring with just a mic and guitar in hand. - Brien Overly
