Leaving Eden National Tour

By Jeanette Madden
Music Editor

The idea of leaving your job, packing a suitcase full of essentials, loading up your car with instruments, CDs, enough cash for your first three tanks of gas, and setting out on a 10,000 mile road trip across the country seems whimsical; reckless even. For Eden Parker, it’s happening in less than a week.

Last year, you voted Eden Parker your “Best Emerging Artist of 2010.” And this year, he’s very excited to be taking all you loyal HPR readers with him as he plays his way through 22 cities in 28 days. You’ll experience the acoustic buzz in Omaha, stroll down the River Walk in San Antonio, and shout at the top of your lungs in the Grand Canyon. You’ll test your luck in Las Vegas, run barefoot through the warm sands of Long Beach, and drink authentic Starbucks in Seattle. You’ll feel the thrill of living on the road together as the “Leaving Eden National Tour” winds its way across the country through 15 states and finds its way back to Fargo, ND.
