Here’s one way to deter scalpers.
On a moments notice, Glen and Marketa of the Swell Season – along with other members of Glen’s band The Frames, and opener Josh Ritter – decided to go outside and play for fans as they filed into the sold-out Swell Season show at Radio City Music Hall Tuesday night. (That’s Clarence Clemons’ nephew Jake Clemons on sax, too).
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry watching a scalper trying to sell tix as the evening’s performers put on a free show just a few feet away.
It was perhaps my favorite moment in an awesome week of Swell Season activity that included a taping for Letterman, a show to benefit Haiti at City Winery, and much more.
Come back soon, guys!
