I am adding my voice at this time because The Brothers Four are in the middle of a 20 concert tour of Japan. I am writing from a hotel in Fukuoka. In the last 30 years the group has made about 30 trips to Asia-25 of them that included Japan. There was a trip to Mainland China in 96-a couple of New Years shows in Taiwan-and a couple of stand alone Hong Kong concerts-including one where we sang at Convention Center for about 6000 folks-there was also a stand alone trip to S. Korea where we were part of a Festival held at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul.
The audiences this trip feel more engaged then ever. There is a core group of Friends Club members who come to multiple shows-yet the applause feels more sustained from all. The halls are more in the 1000-1500 size-sold out for the most part.
I am making daily Facebook posts-https://www.facebook.com/MarkPearsonMusic-don't know if that's something you are interested in. I am also sharing my story around 49 virtual campfires at http://markpearsonmusic.com/ with Campfires 11 and 29 talking most specifically about The Brothers Four in Japan. There are also some videos-old and new-on the YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/MarkPearsonMusic including the video of The Brothers Four at the 8th Annual Tokyo Music Festival (the only time Bob and I were in the group together.)
Thanks to all who continue to have interest in the music and continue to support those of us lucky enough to be part of it.
