Event Description
Come kick it w/ the band for our 1st SF Bay Area show since the crew moved to Cali! It's a "Take Back the Mic" event, which means we're rockin' the "open-camera" policy.
Bring your FlipCam, iPhone, BBerry or video camera & join the interactive jam! You will have a chance to shoot the fun on & offstage and a few folks will get to catch the action backstage as well.
For those that haven't heard, Soulfège just hit the Top 10 Jambands Chart & we're coming up to the Bay to give you a taste of what's going down on the new record.
This event is presented by Bay Localize, ComuniTree and DestinedNation Media.
