Fan outreach is strongest!
A lot of folks say they’d like to see us open for Rodrigo Y Gabriela on their upcoming US tour. We’ve put the word out to their management but fan outreach is worth way more. If you think we’d be a great match, tell them either on their FB wall (http://www.facebook.com/rodgab) or tweet to @rodgab (http://www.twitter.com/rodgab)
Thanks y’all!
