Building Transamerica:
50 State Capitols in 50 Days
Free, live performance at Hawaii Capitol building marks third stop in singer’s cross-country adventure
WHAT:
Webster McBride, lead singer of San Francisco-based band Golden Birds, will perform on July 6th at the Hawaii State Capitol building as part of his 50-day whirlwind “Transamerica” tour of 50 U.S. state capitols. Singer/songwriter McBride is traversing the country on a solo tour in his ’94 Dodge Caravan, performing live, acoustic shows on the grounds of a different state capitol each day. For obvious reason, he is flying to Honolulu and Juneau. The tour will culminate with a performance on the 51st night, August 23rd , on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., McBride’s hometown.
WHY:
“My tour is being undertaken as a symbolic gesture to support open, communal parks and public spaces in our nation’s cities, as well as open, respectful dialogue in our nation’s political and cultural debate.” says McBride. The tour supports Golden Birds’ forthcoming second album, Transamerica, which “explores the contemporary experience of space and the power of place names, particularly in the context of separation from loved ones and from more innocent periods of life.”
WHO:
The show is free and open to the public.
WHERE & WHEN:
The State Capitol Building is located at 415 South Beretania. McBride will start at 8pm and the performance should last approximately 45 minutes.
