Impossible tour : Live Updates Every Minute from 25K+ News Agencies Across the Globe
Ex Highgate musician Will Fairhead on his 'impossible tour' | Hampstead Highgate Express
"We didn't have much of a plan we were just looking to see if there were opportunities in each town, four guys turning up ready to play some rock n roll with our crew to make sure it was safe and not getting silly."
In Europe they met with bureaucracy, were kicked off busking spots due to bans on amplified sound and off campsites because they were British. But in a German forest hideaway they held a socially distanced gig, and a friend lent a derelict freezing French Chateau where they recorded an album in exchange for clearing the land.

Singer-guitarist Steve Wynn (Dream Syndicate) and drummer-singer Linda Pitmon (Zuzu's Petals) are members of The Baseball Project, and also happen to be married. The duo is in the middle of the "Impossible Tour," featuring back-to back shows from their New York City rehearsal space tailored for venues on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean...including a show this Sunday for Madison's own Kiki's House of Righteous Music, where Wynn and Pitmon have played various concerts in the past. Until we are able to visit Kiki's basement again, this pay-what-you-can livestream is the next best thing to being there (and actually has a bit bigger capacity via the magic of StageIt).

This week's featured gig poster advertises the Chicago "stop" on Steve Wynn's Impossible Tour: a seven-week concert series that's virtually hosted by 13 music venues and broadcast by livestreaming platform StageIt. Wynn, a founding member of Los Angeles alternative-rock band the Dream Syndicate, put together a series of popular concert streams on his Facebook page last year. For his Impossible Tour, he decided to invite some of his favorite international independent venues to host dates—it's a way for him to show support for their work and to introduce his fans to venues in cities that COVID-19 may prevent them from visiting. Wynn and drummer Linda Pitmon (his wife and collaborator) will stay safe by performing live from the Chimp Factory, their rehearsal space in Queens, New York.

PEEKABOO announces debut headlining tour with 'Impossible' EP release on Deadbeats : Dancing Astronaut
What a 2019 for the stellar bass standout PEEKABOO, as the Michigan producer rounds this decade with his
Impossible EP, returning back to Zeds Dead’s Deadbeats for the release. The project coincides with the announcement of his debut headlining tour, The Impossible Tour, after supporting REZZ on her
Beyond The Senses tour earlier this year. As one of Dancing Astronaut’s Ones to Watch in 2020, witness the rising star in action as he looks to hit the new decade with sounds and textures that were previously thought of as impossible.
With a degree in sound engineering for horror films, the menacing sound arranger isn’t afraid to take risks whether through squeaking high ends and sustained bass through trap percussion on “Nut Case” or applying his bass backings to a house track on “Rock The House.”
