Acoustic Basement Tour With Thursday and I Am The Avalanche Members

12/12/2012
. The Acoustic Basement Tour will take place in February and feature Geoff Rickly (Thursday), Vinnie Caruana (The Movielife, I Am The Avalanche), A Loss For Words, Koji, and Brian Marquis (Therefore I Am).

The tour will kick off in New York, NY on February 1st, and will conclude in Boston, MA, on February 23rd.

Here is a little information on the formation of the tour: After the breakup of his band, Therefore I Am, Acoustic Basement producer and performer Brian Marquis approached Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman with the idea of an acoustic stage in the fall of 2011. He hoped to find a new home for artists wanting to showcase their music in a more stripped down setting. The stage was a hit, garnering crowds of up to 1000 people at each date of the Vans Warped Tour.

"I think people really connected with the stage on Warped because it offered a raw and honest performance experience. There were no amps or band to hide behind - it was just the artist and their song, their story," says Marquis of the stage's success this past summer.
