We saw the touring band of Playing for Change last Tuesday night at Slim's in San Francisco. They were great! Performed for 2 hours straight. Here are 2 videos I did from the show.

Playing For Change -- Songs Around The World CD/DVD in stores now!!
Today, April 28th, 2009 is a big day and has been a long time coming. After 4 years of filming and recording musicians around the globe, we are finally releasing our album "Playing For Change: Songs around the World," featuring a 10 song CD and 7 track DVD. This is a collection of songs and videos featuring over 100 musicians from around the world that have never met in person, but have been brought together through the power of music.
Today is our chance to show the world that independent projects designed to connect and inspire people can be successful. If you have been moved by the music you've heard or the videos you have seen from Playing For Change then I encourage you to purchase the CD/DVD for yourself and/or give it to a family member or friend as a gift. Our continuing journey is not possible without your support.
CLICK HERE TO BUY THE CD/DVD NOW or visit your favorite Starbucks location to pick up a copy in person!
The album demonstrates that regardless of our religion, race, gender, or political views we can unite through music. The time is now to unite as a human race and this global collaboration driven by your love and encouragement is designed to lead us in that direction.
After supporting the movement, take your own online journey and get to know the musicians through our new site (which will be updated regularly with new videos, songs, photos and much more ... ).
Thank you for your help and keep your thoughts, questions and advice coming. Together, we will continue to connect the world through music.
One Love, Mark Johnson
