The Hotel Café Tour has named Taylor Guitars the “Official Guitar of the Tour”. Taylor Guitars is already the choice instrument for many of the tour’s past and current artists. “Like the Hotel Café Tour, Taylor is committed to fostering emerging artists,” commented Bob Borbonus, director of entertainment relations. “We’re proud to share the stage with such talented musicians and to be a sponsor of this tour.”
Named for the coffee shop-turned-venue in LA, The Hotel Café Tour is in its fourth year in 2008. For the first time ever, the 2008 tour features an all female lineup of eighteen singer-songwriters ranging from established musicians, Ingrid Michaelson and Rachael Yamagata, to rising stars Meiko, Thao Nguyen, Kate Havnevik, and Brooke Fraser. With so much talent, and a focus on community and camaraderie, concert goers can anticipate impromptu jam sessions and collaborations.
The Hotel Café Tour kicked-off on October 9 in Santa Barbara, California. The tour will stop in thirty-three North American cities as it makes its way to Europe for twenty tour stops.
