Blue October frontman Justin Furstenfeld will be launching a spoken word and acoustic tour in April. The "An Open Book: An Evening With Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October" will kick off on April 4th at Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, CA.
The intimate shows are set to include a spoken word portion, a Q&A and an acoustic performance of new songs and Blue October songs.
"I always look forward to the spoken word/solo shows," said Furstenfeld in a statement. "The fact that I'm sitting just a few feet away from the audience, that there are no rules as to what they ask me, or that I don't have boundaries on my answers, is what is exciting to me. I'm hoping that the evening will give everyone a chance to dig deep, connect, and explore the dark corners of why honesty, no matter how brutal, remains one of the most beautiful aspects of being human. Through poetry, music, and conversation, we heal. Why not do it together."
Furstenfeld is launching the tour in support of the expanded third edition of "Crazy Making," which is his book of lyrics, hand-written notes and personal photographs.
