Taking It to the Streets Tour!

Experimental drum and piano duo, Speedsquare, is literally “Takin it to the Streets,” busking in more than 20 U.S. cities this summer, and releasing their two new CDs!

Speedsquare’s Double CD release party and Tour Kick-off will be in Asheville at Café on the Square (1 Biltmore Ave. at Pack Square) on FRIDAY, JUNE 15, starting at 9.00 p.m. Special local musician guests will sit in with Speedsquare at their CD Release and Tour Kick-off party.

Upright piano and full drum set in tow, Speedsquare duo C. Scott and Billy Sheeran, dot the corners of Asheville offering an inspiring ride for their unsuspecting sidewalk audiences. Their progressive variety has been coined: jazz, classical, blues, “jingly”, and theatrical, and each show manifests originality and surprises. Under the ambiguous umbrella of musical experimentation, Speedsquare’s musical chemistry and madness is entertaining at least and provocatively awe-inspiring to most.

"This tour was born out of a need to connect with a larger audience by bringing our music directly to the people," said C Scott. "It's been exciting and freeing to plan for this trip, concentrating on our music and making our CDs, and knowing that we'll be sharing our music with anyone that walks by. "

Speedsquare www.myspace.com/speedsquare1 will be playing on the streets and in some venues in the following cities. Dates and locations (unless in bold) are fairly flexible. Call C. Scott to book Speedsquare at 828.279.3600.
