The High Strung - LIBRARY TOUR INFO

The High Strung - LIBRARY TOUR INFO: "Last year the quirky, carefree, energetic music of Detroit’s The High Strung electrified Michigan’s teen patrons with their sunny three-part harmonies and witty, lyrical bravado. This year the furious guitars and squonking organ that accompany the band’s catchy sing-along choruses are roaming the country, headed in your direction. Hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the best new, young rock & roll bands in America, NPR’s Ken Tucker named The High Strung’s debut album These Are The Good Times as one of the Top 10 Rock Records of 2003, and the Washington Post called the title track “runner up best song of the year.” In August of 2005, in a segment touting the Library Tour, The High Strung was also featured on National Public Radio’s This American Life.

In addition to playing a full-set of their rousing Beatlesque jams, teens will get the first hand low-down about making records for major music industry labels. They’ll also get an insider’s view of creating a video for MTV and learn about touring on the road year-round all across the country. But in what’s sure to be the highlight of this first ever National Rock and Roll Library tour, at each appearance the band will solicit the audience’s help in writing and improvising a song on the spot.
