Hard to Find a Friend Presents: Backstage Sessions

Hard to Find a Friend, in cooperation with venues across the Southeastern United States, is pleased to announce The Backstage Sessions. A Backstage Session will consist of some of your favorite artists playing a special, short, stripped-down set while hanging out backstage. This will give you, the reader and listener, a chance to vicariously delve into the green rooms of America and hang out with the coolest kids in school. The sessions will be made available for free download in several formats within 48 hours of the recording.

You will be able to download Backstage Sessions in High-Quality 192kbps VBR mp3‘s with no DRM protection. Videos will also be available for download in iPhone and iPod compatible mp4 video format.
