Bob Boilen and I are taking our show on the road! It's time we busted out of this two-bit joint and mingled with the world's great unwashed. So here's what we're doing: This summer, we'll visit different cities across the country and bring people together to hear and talk about great music.
Look for guest appearances from public radio's galaxy of stars, as well as surprise performances from our favorite artists. It's our version of a "listening party," and we want to see you there. Here's where we're going and when (more dates to be announced):

At our first stop in New York City next week, we'll be joined by 's John Schaefer, 's Rita Houston and 's Jad Abumrad to play, rate and discuss some of our favorite music. We'll give you a stack of numbered cards so you can rate everything we play and, of course, share your own thoughts on the songs. Trust me, it's a lot of fun.
We hope to see you this summer.
