APRIL 23 :

We had an amazing show at The Ark in Ann Arbor, MI. That listening room is the best in the state, and better than most I've played in the country!

Lots of new shows coming up to garnish the dates of this year's Lawn Chairs and Living Rooms Tour '08. Believe it or not, 89 shows have been booked across the country, including a handful in Canada. For those of you who are not familiar with the tour - i'm booking myself into the backyards and homes of my most devoted fans, for a private show for their friends and family. Write to David at spoiledbratmanagement@hotmail.com for more details. Only a few dates are available. Also, last year's "Lawn Chairs And Living Rooms Tour '07" spawned a great live recording. It was a show that I did in the living room of superfan Todd Van Hammond, in Appleton, WI. It's a recording of me, on a small homemade stage (that he built for the occasion), in front of a crowd of his friends and family. There was no PA system, just me playing and singing to the intimate group. If you would like to purchase the disc of 13 songs you can do so by clicking HERE. I'm keeping the price very low ($8 plus S/H) because I consider this to be the 2nd CD in my "Official Bootleg Series", so there are no graphics for it. Just good music, played and sang like I was performing in your own living room..

Wow! What a great time at the Aquinas Performing Arts Center. The show was sold out, and I can't remember a better time playing a show. The set was well worth the sweat of getting the Airstream trailer into a set of garage doors that were not flush. We had to man handle it and push thousands of pounds of metal into place, but it was worth every bead of sweat when I saw the reaction on the fans faces as they entered. Here are some pics:

The DVD (and live recording) of this night is edited and will be shipped off to the manufacturer as soon as I do a few last minute tweaks to it. Sorry - I'm a freak that way.

The new album, "Brian Vander Ark", is in my hands and ready for you. Go listen to the new songs at myspace.com/brianvanderark. And here is a free download of Lily White Way. Please take it and pass it on to your friends to help promote!

My buddies from Farstar are creating the new web site at a feverish pace! It will be up very soon. Thanks a ton to them for the support!
