Tours of Note: Jessie Baylin
May 9th, 2008 - by Eddie
It’s always an interesting day when you decide to finally clean out your inbox. You find emails you meant to respond to, forgotten bill statements, and various shout-outs from old friends wondering why you never write back (it’s cause I’m a lazy bastard who can’t find the time to this once a week).
Today, I found an email about Jessie Baylin, a Los Angeles-based folk/country singer who will be releasing her major label debut, Firesight, on June 24.
Maybe it’s because it’s Friday or because it’s a bit dreary outside. Either way, I was in the mood to hear the sounds of Baylin, which are bit like country and folk with a touch of Brandi Carlile’s voice.
But the interesting thing is a promotion she’s doing called “See Jessie Run” that asks fans to send in live photos of Jessie performing for free tickets to a show (wait…but you have to see her first to take the picture which means you get to see another show, but what if she doesn’t come to your city and…OK I’ve gone cross-eyed).
Anyway, it’s an interesting promotion and hopefully we’ll be able to ask Jessie about it personally soon. Here’s what’s left of her tour, along with her single “Was I on Your Mind” on the bottom.
