1998 Appearances
- Simon & Ben
On Acoustic Cafe (Jan 1998)
- Simon has been
hard at work taking his act on the road to promote his music. During the '96,
'97 Who Quad tour, he often got in a few solo acoustic appearances (with Ben)
on his days/nights off. November '97 saw the first US mini-tour with entire
Simon Townshend Band in tow. During this tour Simon and Ben recorded a segment
for the nationally syndicated "Acoustic Cafe" with Rob Reinhart, which was
aired in Jan of 1998, on 46 stations and Voice of America, which goes to some
80 countries!!!
You can check out the segment in the Acoustic
Cafe Archives!
