Kicking off June 5, the all-acoustic tour, dubbed �VARIOUS & SUNDRY� sprang from a collective friendship and rapport rooted in their home base of Southern California. The idea was hatched earlier this year, when Glen Phillips invited his musical friends to join him onstage as special guests at the Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara. A musical community is something each of these artists has come to value �It's a refreshing experience to get together with a bunch of people who respect each other and just play music for the pure joy of it,� says Phillips. �We all started doing this because we loved hanging out with friends and making noise, and it's a good thing to get back to that purity.� In the past, Glen Phillips and Nickel Creek have recorded and performed together as Mutual Admiration Society, suggesting a kind of family tree.
